Is Stupidity a Defense?

It was bad enough that 19-year-old Neil Goodwin of Salisbury, Massachusetts, kicked in the door of a Civil War-era crypt. And that once he got in there, he hacked off the head of the corpse and removed it from the crypt. But what came next defies rational explanation.

Goodwin propped the skull on his own shoulder and had someone take a picture. Now he has been arrested for desecrating a grave and disinterring a body, and the photograph is evidence against him.

But even that isn't the best part. The alleged crime took place while doing community service at the cemetery—part of his probation for a prior crime.

Intelligence clearly isn't this kid's greatest asset.
