"Baby I Got You 4 New Purty Rings"

Ever noticed how a Jedi just shows up with a light saber and beheads someone? There’s no Miranda warning in outer space. And, want to know why our legal system is the best in the galaxy, far better than the Jedi legal system?

Proving that the US has the most progressive legal system ever, the “ring” leader behind the theft of four UCONN NCAA “women’s basketball rings” has admitted in a plea bargain with the state that there was in all likelihood “enough evidence” to get him convicted in the “hoop” crime and consequently has pled “you probably would have won anyway” and has been convicted of third-degree larceny. But, see, he didn't actually plead guilty.

After his court date, the man went home and packed his NIKE duffel bag with a change of underwear. The authorities had “caught” him in the case of the missing women’s basketball championship rings, but they had not searched under his bed where he had been storing the severed head of Wickett the Ewok.
