Sarah Lynn?... Sarah Lynn...?
Her DNA was later found on the handle of a bloody knife found lying next to the victim's body at the Daytona Beach home they shared, the affidavit stated.
And she would have gotten away with it if she'd bedewed the knife!
bedewed
TIL a word. This is masterful wordplay.
Apparently, she wouldn’t have had time since she bedewed herself AFTER she got arrested!
Not to dox myself but it’s always nice to see news about my home town as a reminder to never return
I have also been much happier since I left the Salt Life behind. Desantis can keep it.
You should throw in some untrue details about your location from time to time, just to throw off the scent.
We are from France!
Bonjour!
From the beginning of the 2009 Dunning-Kruger paper Unskilled and unaware of it:
In 1995, McArthur Wheeler walked into two Pittsburgh banks and robbed them in broad daylight, with no visible attempt at disguise. He was arrested later that night, less than an hour after videotapes of him taken from surveillance cameras were broadcast on the 11 o'clock news. When police later showed him the surveillance tapes, Mr. Wheeler stared in incredulity. “But I wore the juice,” he mumbled. Apparently, Mr. Wheeler was under the impression that rubbing one's face with lemon juice rendered it invisible to videotape cameras (Fuocco, 1996).
There was also the guy who robbed a bank after he paid a wizard to make him invisible, and he was pretty mad at that wizard when he found out the invisibility spell was bunk.
This is the best reference possible. Btw, you can hear either Dunning or Kruger (can't remember which) on an ep of the You Are Not So Smart podcast, which I no longer listen to, but it's an interesting interview.
Thanks! I'll look out for that interview.
She poured diet Mountain Dew all over her body
Everyone knows that this is a job for Diet Double Dew.
Lidl store brand blue raspberry energy drink works too
I don't know, I would choose Voltage for cleaning up a crime scene. Blue things clean better.
No, that's just for cleaning windows, you nincompoop.
Yup. Purples are best for general cleaning.
Just because it tasted like bleach doesn’t mean it’s going to clean up like bleach.
Florida woman
Florida
Yup that right there is the problem
Don’t do the dew if you can’t do the time…
What the...reads Florida...ahh...
What a shockingly Florida headline
DNA evidence being all the blood that she was covered with when the police caught her wandering around barefoot with a knife and hammer, outside a burger joint at half three in the morning? I’m sure that if she’d just had a moment longer to rinse it off, then her cast-iron ‘I usually carry stuff like that’ defence would have worked, and she wouldn’t have had to start fighting the police. So close to being the perfect crime.
Florida you say???
#LetFloridaSink
Yeah, but which flavor?
Yeah only blue works I thought everyone knew that...
Brawndo has electrolytes.
Just Florida things
In another life she would have been a keeper.
tampering with evidence
I mean, attempted tampering with evidence…
edit: j/k she also tried to burn the house down. That will get rid of evidence.
She really was in a sticky situation.
In her defense, she saw what it had done to her teeth, destroying DNA is a logical progression.
Florida meeting those expectations, without fail. As usual.
That's not how the verification can works, you have to dance for it.
Kim Deal nooooo
Mmmeth kills you and the ones around you.
Oh, why am I not surprised it's Florida. ಠ_ಠ
Hmm, lil suspicious that scientists haven't come out with tests to disprove this theory
"Roommate," lol, she was probably banging the old guy as rent so she could stay at his place. I've seen that arrangement way more than once.
Is Mugshawtys on Mastodon yet?
