The law can be, at its best, fascinating, and, at its worst, a legalized war crime. At the very least, it's a curious component to our society. Join me every Wednesday to explore bizarre, abhorrent, and sometimes whimsical areas of the US legal system. From Dinosaur Bones to Guantanamo, this is Codified Curiosities. Have an idea for a topic?
