Teaching Ethics the Hard Way



Angela Simpson, 33, was indicted, but it hardly matters because she calmly confessed the whole murder on camera to Phoenix's KTVK-TV, patiently setting out her reasoning. She stabbed the wheelchair-confined man 50 times, pulled some teeth, beat him with a tire iron, drove a nail into his head, then partially dismembered the body and placef explosive in the mouth to explode the head. (Bonus: She did it all in front of a mirror so he would see as much of it as he could. We wonder if the man had enough time to see his own head explode before blacking out.) Reason? She wanted to improve the ethical standards of her neighborhood for her "family" and the "children." The man was a snitch, and that's what snitches deserve. Child molesters, too, but mainly snitches.

When reporters sought to interview the victim, a hospital spokeswoman, who spoke only on condition of inadvertent proximity, told reporters it was a polioy of the hospital not to permit the questioning of any deceased bodies. Information obtained from a corpse's atatement is not admissible in court and is considered hearsay because the decedent was not available for cross-examination. The condition of this victim made it especially difficult to expect any verbal responses to questions. KTVK-TV
