This particular defendant was so set on watching the Saints play that he actually filed a motion in court to delay his hearing so he could watch the game. The best part? The court actually granted the motion! It’s a shame that the Saints didn’t actually make it to the Superbowl, but at least everyone got to watch them lose…(sorry I had to rub it in).
Maybe you’re not a football fan, and you’re not so interested in the Superbowl. Say you’re in to other extracurricular activities…like extreme sports. If you’re in to something like jumping off buildings, I have a word of advice for you: be careful. Not just careful for your safety, but careful that you don’t get prosecuted for reckless endangerment. According to QuizLaw, professional stunt jumper Jeb Corliss was charged with reckless endangerment after (successfully and safely) jumping off the Empire State Building. According to the police and prosecutors who charged him, by jumping off the building, he was risking the lives of bystanders who may be walking below on the street. The court apparently did not agree with this logic and dismissed the charges against Corliss. Lucky guy…let’s just hope he stays this lucky and doesn’t die jumping off another building.
Let’s say you’re just really low key…your hobbies don’t include extreme sports or watching football. Let’s say your hobbies include more relaxed activities, like…smoking pot. If that’s the case, then I have good news for you. On the DUI blog, I read about a new study which found that smoking pot does not impair your ability to drive a motor vehicle. While for most of this, this seems like the kind of activity that people should be charged with reckless endangerment for, it must be pretty good news for stoners who want to make a run to the Taco Bell drive thru to quell their munchies…
