  • A Harvard prof proposed Mirandizing the back seat encounter in a great law school exam question.

    They restricted access to the exam questions recently. However, I submitted a Miranda Sex Warning Card for his comment. It included the right to do and say nothing until the court appointed attorney arrived at the Chevy back seat.

    He demanded to know how I got his email.

  • Mr. M and Ms. W go on a date and have sex. Part way through, W rescinds her permission. M does not stop. Afterwards W claims to have been raped. M claims if he had known that W would rescind her permission for sex, he would never have had sex with her or even gone on a date with her. Therefore, M claims he was raped by fraud.

    Do they both go to prison?
