Tuesday's Three Burning Legal Questions

By Bruce Carton

Here are today's three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blogosphere. 1) Question: A car just knocked me off my bike, then kept driving and dragged my bike two kilometers down the road! What's up with that? Answer: Perhaps the driver thought you were a tree branch? (FAIL Blog, Excuse Fail) 2) Question: An arrestee who we were taking to jail in handcuffs jumped out of the squad car and ran off with his hands cuffed behind his back! We may have some trouble proving a first-degree escape charge, do you have any other ideas on what we can charge him with? Answer: Third-degree theft of the $29 handcuffs.
