    So going forward, I should keep my crimes under half an hour and it’s fine. Good to know.

      Keep it under 27 minutes just to be on the safe side

      I wouldn’t go on a 30-minute crime spree yet, there might be a better deal soon.

      Trump says he’s going to be a one-day dictator if elected. If he gets his way and does not get punished afterwards, we have a strong legal precedent that everyone gets their personal Purge once in their lifetime.

        Thats why the cops yell at you to stop resisting after they shoot you.

    Can you imagine that defence for other crimes

    You’re honour my client should be released because he was only a bank robber for 2 minutes while in the bank. And as for being a conspirator he didn’t do much talking.

    Your honour my client was only a “rapist” while attacking Miss Sonso and that only lasted 5 minutes. Prior to that he was merely a pedestrian as he followed her. An innocent citizen

      Unfortunately that defense did seem to work out fine for rapist Brock Allen Turner.

    “Your honor, my client only raped her for 3 minutes.”

    “Your honor, my client was only murdering him for 4 minutes.”

    “Your honor, my client was only driving under the influence for 10 minutes.”

    “Your honor, my client only robbed the bank of $4000.”
