TODAY WE BESTOW FOUR BONEHEAD AWARDS
Bonehead award one, a “justice is blind but only because it has its head up its butt” bonehead award, goes to a jury in Scotland which held a séance during their deliberations at a murder trial expecting the dead victim’s spirit to spell out the killer’s name on a ouija board.

Interestingly, the only reason the verdict could be thrown out was because the jury held the séance at the hotel where they were sequestered. Had the séance been in the jury room, the verdict would have had to stick.

Best Kind Of Hunting Dog
Bonehead award three, a “too dumb to be a criminal” bonehead award, goes to a UK burglar who entered a couple’s home with his dog to burgle it and who then escaped through the window when the couple suddenly returned, leaving his dog, Roxy, behind, according to police who put Roxy on a leash and then followed her home.
