Not even the sexy dead have rights in Wisconsin
Yep, in a bizarre travesty of justice, Nicholas and Alexander Grunke and Dustin Radke had the sexual assault charges against them dropped because Wisconsin doesn’t have any necrophilia laws.
From the Star Tribune:
Ewww, WTF? Drop the charges and commit these three then. There is something really mis-wired in the heads of people who would think that sex with a corpse - no matter how sexy she may have been - is a good idea.
What’s worse is that the defense doesn’t think anything should be done about this sort of thing.
So what then? Whenever that rare somebody does something like this, you just shake your finger at them and let them continue their business? I don’t get it. Maybe I’m just too old fashioned.
From the Star Tribune:
Three men who dug up a young woman’s corpse to have sex with it after seeing her obituary photo cannot be charged with attempted sexual assault because Wisconsin has no law against necrophilia, an appeals court ruled Thursday.
...
The appeals court said the law was ambiguous but the most reasonable interpretation was that it does not ban necrophilia. Instead, the court said, the law was meant to make sure prosecutors could bring sexual assault charges in rape-murder cases in which the victim ends up dead.

Defense lawyer Suzanne Edwards, who represents Nicholas Grunke, said the appeals court made the proper ruling. She called instances of necrophilia “extremely rare” and said she doubted a criminal ban was needed.
