More Weird Florida Criminal Law

Jensen Beach: This Florida man has been accused of downloading 1,000 images of child pornography.  He blames his cat!  Keith Griffin of Jensen Beach told investigators that his cat jumped on the computer keyboard while he was downloading music.  It was all a mistake.

Right, a mistake that the cat repeated 1,000 times!

Orlando: A 60 year old man was convicted in August, 2009, of groping Minnie Mouse at Disney World. William Moyer of Cressona PA., claimed he was innocent of sexually assaulting the costumed park employee.  But the victim testified in court that “she had to do everything possible to keep Moyer’s hands off her breasts.  Moyer was found guilty of misdemeanor battery.  He must write the victim a letter of apology, serve 180 days probation, complete 50 hours of community service, pay $1,000 in court costs and undergo a mental evaluation.

Call him a “Minnie perv.”

Tampa: Inmates at a Tampa jail are really feeling the heat.  Prisoners at the minimum security lockup are selling bottles of hot sauce made from peppers grown at the jail.  The $7 bottles are labeled “No Escape,” among other things.  The inmates have made $10,000 on the sauce, proceeds of which are used to keep up the greenhouse and to buy basic supplies.

The crime here is charging $7 for a bottle of hot sauce!

Tampa: A Tampa doctor was given two years probation after admitting he removed a bullet from a fugitive shot by U.S. Marshals, hid the slug, and lied to investigators about it.  Dr. David Ciesla got caught when a med student saw him slip the slug into his surgical glove.

Snitch!
