French Woman Takes Cocaine To Police Department For Purity Testing

In today’s WTF news:

According to RT, the 45-year-old woman walked into a police station in Toulouse, France, at around 5 o’clock in the morning. She placed three bags on the reception counter. 

Two contained cocaine powder and one held crack, according to Asia One. When asked why she would do such a thing, she replied that she wanted the officers to test the purity of her product because she “wanted to know if it was good quality as she didn’t want people to die of an overdose.”

Naturally, the woman was arrested for her request. She was scheduled to appear in court in January. Not much more to say after that.

Is True Crime Becoming Mainstream?

S.B. Author's avatarlauloulew

I’ve always had a slight obsession with true crime. For me, it’s usually the darker the better, which I appreciate sounds slightly messed up and frequently leaves me at a loose end at social gatherings.

But over the past year or so, thanks to documentaries like Making a Murderer, and TV shows such as the incredible The People VS OJ Simpson, it seems the rest of the world is catching up with mysterious and dangerous world of the criminally insane.

This sudden true crime mania is great news for all the people who, like me, have read a book on a particularly gruesome serial killer in a public place cleverly disguised by the sleeve of some mushy chick flick. I always said that if I was ever suspected of a crime, the police would take one look at my bookshelf and slap on the cuffs.

Bill Cosby Files Motion To Get Sexual Assault Charges Dropped Citing Prejudice

According to KTLA — Bill Cosby’s lawyers have launched their most comprehensive effort to date to have the sexual assault charges against him dropped, arguing that various factors “created a perfect storm of prejudice, bias, and delay” that requires the dismissal of the charges against the entertainer.

The motion, filed Thursday in the Pennsylvania court where Cosby is facing trial for a 2004 incident involving then-Temple University basketball staffer Andrea Constand, argues that the delay in bringing charges has prejudiced the jury and violated Cosby’s due-process rights.

It also cites what the defense alleges was an agreement made more than a decade ago by a former Montgomery County district attorney not to prosecute Cosby, while simultaneously alleging that civil-trial documents that help fuel the prosecution’s case were improperly unsealed.

The combination of those factors demands that the “stale charges against Bill Cosby” be dropped says the motion, penned by lead Cosby attorney Brian McMonagle and running some 30 pages.
