Excerpt from Crim Law

Professor: Why might the legislature want to create a harsher penalty for people who commit rapes in the course of other felonies?
Me: Well, it provides a disincentive for people to rape when they know they're already likely to go to prison, whereas without such a disincentive they might be inclined to "go out with a bang."

The worst part is, I didn't even intend what would at first seem to be a very typical pun for me to make. Hopefully the court will disallow propensity evidence.

I'm going to hell.
