Satanism Rears Its Ugly Head In Columbia, Missouri
Oh, sorry, I guess it's not really Satanism, just a prosecutor using a law targeting Satanism creatively to punish someone who abused her child:
    Boone County Circuit Judge Gary Oxenhandler sentenced Erma McKinney on Monday to 21 years for assault, 10 years for child abuse, eight years for child endangerment, and seven years for child endangerment in a ritual or ceremony. McKinney will serve the first three sentences concurrently and the last one consecutively.

    McKinney was convicted in May. The ritual or ceremony charge was brought because McKinney told police she punished her son with a hot shower more than once.
I demand my legislators do something! and make sure that assault with an active shower head is an additional felony, because 30 years just ain't enough.


 
To say Noggle, one first must be able to say the "Nah."
