Review: Professor Birdsong’s Weird 365: Weird Criminal Law Stories for Every day of the Year

Professor Birdsong’s Weird 365: Weird Criminal Law Stories for Every day of the Year
This time the professor uses his expertise and experience in criminal law to bring forth his “365,” weird criminal law stories for each day of the year. This is his funniest volume of criminal law stories mostly from around the States to date. This book covers more than a lot of silly and unlawful conduct one could imagine. Full of his witty “Birdsong” commentary and observations the book is sure to deliver some great laughs. There’s a story about the 54-year-old man who attempts to perform an exorcism on his 80-year-old girlfriend to get the devil out of her; a story about a Czech man who uses a chain saw to slice his way back into a restaurant after closing time; a story of an alleged child pornographer caught downloading child porn on his phone while being question at police headquarters; a story about a Tennessee man who had a stroke who thought he was dying confessed to a 1977 murder – he didn’t die and now is facing a murder charge; a “drunken dummy” or two; and a wide variety of just plain, stupid criminals that make this anthology worth reading.

It is a fun book with a story for every day, for one year, fun read some had me laugh out loud, others not so much, It  reminded me of the tvshow I have seen a few times with same subjects. .I can't believe how some got  away with things they did, overall a fun read.
