Law cases you might have missed

 Lowering the Bar

If planning to fake your own death, you might want to create a good-quality fake death certificate as part of the plan. Also a good idea: being able to spell the name of the state department that issues those things.

The BBC reports that a former member of Parliament has been convicted of sexually assaulting two women, in incidents that occurred nine years apart. The defendant claimed that during one of the incidents he was “under a misapprehension,” which the report does not explain but was evidently the kind of misapprehension that can cause one to grope a woman and chase her around while chanting “I’m a naughty Tory.” Now a naughty ex-Tory, he will be sentenced next month.
