Dumb Crooks - Caught on Tape Edition

The blogosphere has a couple of really funny dumb crook stories today in which said crooks provided their own videotaped evidence. The first, from I'm A PD, details her client's attempt to create an alibi videotape to prove he was somewhere else while the victim got shot. No summary can do this masterpiece of modern cinema justice, so just go read about it for yourself. Then over on CrimLaw, Ken Lammers links to an old post in which he details a client whose criminal antics were caught on video - by the client and his buddies. The highlight, for me:

I did represent one of three white kids who videotaped themselves getting drunk,
calling each other "n*gg*r alot, then talking about how they were going to mess
up this other "n*gg*r (another white kid), then taping themselves chasing this
kid (the kid gets away when they chase him thru the diamond of an ongoing police softball league game and the police stop the chasers and send them on their way).
You can't make stuff like this up, folks. Or if you did, it wouldn't be nearly as funny.
