We're just too conservative!

Did you know that if you consider it perverted and immoral for a teacher to film herself having an orgy with five students, you're too conservative?

That's what Brittni Colleps's attorney says. Brittni is the married English teacher who was recently convicted of having sex with five of her 18-year-old students. One of them filmed the episode on his cellphone. Lex Johnston, the defense attorney, said, "Tarrant County is too conservative." 

One of Brittni's friends testified for her in the punishment phase of her trial. "There will be three children without a mother," she told the jury. There were already three children without a decent mother. Her husband asked for probation because "it's not my or my kids' fault." I suppose Jack the Ripper's mother could have made the same argument. Johnston says that the jury will probably regret what they did, and that "it sent a message to the United States." I can't imagine the jury regretting finding her guilty, but I certainly hope it sent a message to the U.S.!
