Going out with a bang

When an Alabama man got a "death warrant" from his doctor, he decided to "go out crazy." He and his sister got roaring drunk and had sex. (Link courtesy Obscure Store.)

His spoilsport wife called police, and then:

when they arrived, pointed them to a home in the 2300 block of Gurley Road on April 7 just after midnight. A deputy saw the siblings having intercourse in the wife's bedroom.

The deputy asked Howze to stop, get dressed and step outside, said Sgt. Randy Christian, spokesman for the sheriff's office. The deputy opened the door after a minute and saw they had not stopped, Christian said. ... The siblings told authorities they knew they were related and confirmed that they were having sex, Christian said, reading from the incident report. Both had been drinking. ...

Both denied having sex with each other before that night, and [the sister] said she had not been raped, Christian said.

The two face criminal charges that could net them ten years in prison. I guess the courts and prisons in Alabama are empty and need something to do. Oh -- no, actually the opposite is true: Alabama courts have sent more people to prison for drug possession than for the violent crimes of murder, manslaughter, rape and robbery combined.
