Lettering in Necrophilia

So the fine state of Wisconsin has just adopted its first policy handling Necrophilia, and yup you guessed it! ITS ILLEGAL!! Get the whole fucked up story here. Though how this whole policy came up is still quite the debatable subject. It would seem that 3 kids were charged with attempting to force themselves on a DEAD woman. The lower courts said that there was no law against it, and that if they made a law against it that the kids would still be let go as they committed the crime BEFORE the law had been passed. Just when it looked like everyone was going to go home happy, the upper court system took a hold of the entire thing and decide since dead people can't give consent its rape no matter if shes alive OR dead. Now this causes some serious issues, as dead people and unborn baby's have previously had different guide lines and laws that govern them. Thus abortion is not murder, nor is hitting dead people chargeable as any kind of violent crime. (On a side note killing dead people is also OK, but hitting baby's is frowned upon. go fig...) Now I was all about to just chalk this up to nothing more than odd, but then I read a very interesting part of the story,

"Police say the three men, carrying shovels, a crowbar and a box of condoms, went to a cemetery in southwestern Wisconsin in 2006 to dig up the body of Laura Tennessen, 20, who had been killed the week before in a motorcycle crash.Nicholas Grunke had seen an obituary photo of her and asked the others for help digging up her corpse so he could have sexual intercourse with it, prosecutors say.Authorities say the men used shovels to reach her grave but were unable to pry open the vault. They fled when a car drove into the cemetery and were eventually arrested."



They are getting charged with rape for ALMOST rapping a dead chick? OK now that's pushing it! I mean come on, they are going to pay for a crime they ALMOST did? Now I'm not saying what the kids did is anywhere near right, or normal for that matter, but they have unfortunetly gone into quite the delicate area. Intent to commit rape is a serious offense, but does the same law apply to the attempted intercourse of a dead person? If someone does a crime I believe fully that they should be held responsible for it. This is clearly a case of grave robbing (now there's a good wholesome past time) and not fucking of the dead because for this to happen one must actually begin intercourse! You see in Wisconsin there is a small legal issue. In their law books any attempted crime is charged as if committing the crime but rape cannot be charged UNLESS male and female genitalia come into contact pertaining ONLY to the penis and vagina. So at best a sexual assault charge would be filled but their is no law stating anything about that with dead people either! This should serve as a lesson to the other states not listed below to make said laws before this kind of stuff happens.

So as it stands which should it be? Should these kids be charged with a crime they were going to commit but did not in fact commit as per PART of the law. Or do we turn to the fact that Justice is blind and we have to acknowledge that crime stopped before it is committed is fair to prosecute only if there is a law acknowledging that such a crime existed in the first place. Obviously now there does need to be such a law, and that ladies and gentlemen is a very sad fact, but under the law system as it stands these three kids would grandfather such a law.

Unfortunately for those who get deep into the law system in America a sad fact is quickly made apparent. You see the legal system doesn't care as much about justice as one might think, it only cares if said justice falls under its current stipulations and rules. So in this case should whats right to do? Modifying the system for a singular case is never permissible and would compromise the entire system but not doing so would mean allowing these kids to have intended a very sick crime but go unpunished for attempting it. But by those standards punishing them for a crime they in fact did not commit is very wrong as per the rules set to govern such a system. This is a legal gray area in a system of black and white. !.
