My goodness... what is wrong with Wisconsin!?
Accused Grave Robbers Dodge Sex Charges
MADISON, Wisconsin — Three men who dug up a young woman's corpse to have sex with it after seeing her obituary photo cannot be charged with attempted sexual assault because Wisconsin has no law against necrophilia, an appeals court ruled Thursday.
A judge was correct to dismiss the charges against twin brothers Nicholas and Alexander Grunke and Dustin Radke, all 21, because lawmakers never intended to criminalize sex with a corpse, the District 4 Court of Appeals said in a 3-0 ruling.
The three men went to a cemetery in Cassville in southwestern Wisconsin on Sept. 2 to remove the body of Laura Tennessen, 20, who had been killed the week before in a motorcycle crash.
The men used shovels to reach her grave. They abandoned their plan and were eventually arrested after a vehicle drove into the cemetery and reported suspicious behavior, authorities said.
They said the men had seen an obituary of Tennessen with her photo and wanted to dig up her body to have sexual intercourse. Such an act is known as necrophilia.
The men were charged with attempted third-degree sexual assault and misdemeanor attempted theft charges. But Grant County Circuit Judge George Curry dismissed the sexual assault charges in September, saying no Wisconsin law addressed necrophilia. Prosecutors appealed his ruling.
At issue is a provision in the sexual assault law saying criminal penalties apply "whether a victim is dead or alive at the time of the sexual contact or sexual intercourse."
The appeals court said the law was ambiguous but the most reasonable interpretation was that it does not ban necrophilia. Instead, the court said, the law was meant to make sure prosecutors could bring sexual assault charges in rape-murder cases in which the victim ends up dead.
Outrage over the case might soon change the law.
Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, introduced legislation Wednesday that would make having sex with a corpse a felony with punishment of up to 6 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The bill would levy the same penalties against anyone who intentionally disturbs a burial site or a buried human corpse.

Man.. that's just one of the things that can get my blood boiling.
People getting out of charges just because there isn't a law clearly stating that what they did is illegal.

How did these three loonies actually came up with this plan?
Were they just sitting around one day...watching TV, one guy reading the newspaper.
Guy 1 - "Hey guys, look at this girl who died last week, she's really hot".
Guy 2 - "Oh yeah, she's smoking, it's a shame what happened."
Guy 3 - "I'll bet she was great in bed. Say guys, you feel like digging up her corpse and having a little fun?"
Guy 1 - "Dude, that is so wrong"
Guy 2 - "Jesus man, you are sick"
Awkward silence.....
Guy 1 - "Go get the shovel".

An Inconvenient Serving Size
Were I a Wisconsonian, I'd call for a review of the Sex Ed class syllabus.
Clearly, someone was remiss in adding that men are supposed to have sex with live females.

Reminds me of an Emo quote:
"I was with this girl the other night and from the way she was responding to my skillful caresses, you would have sworn that she was conscious from the top of her head to the tag on her toes."

I don't mean to be offensive to the girl, but what is so great about her that causes three (albeit idiot) guys to go and dig her up to have sex with her? I mean, it isn't even like she looks like Paris or Lindsay or Britney.

People that would dig up a body and have sex with it probably wouldn't wouldn't mind rape either. It's gross, and horrible, but having sex with her after she is dead is better than her having to go through being rapped. Especially if they did 'know' her when she was alive.
