Facebook party photos end in jail term

Quote:
Two weeks after Joshua Lipton was charged in a drunken driving crash that seriously injured a woman, the 20-year-old college junior attended a Halloween party dressed as a prisoner. Pictures from the party showed him in a black-and-white striped shirt and an orange jumpsuit labeled "Jail Bird."

In the age of the Internet, it might not be hard to guess what happened to those pictures: Someone posted them on the social networking site Facebook. And that offered remarkable evidence for Jay Sullivan, the prosecutor handling Lipton's drunken-driving case.

Sullivan used the pictures to paint Lipton as an unrepentant partier who lived it up while his victim recovered in the hospital. A judge agreed, calling the pictures depraved when sentencing Lipton to two years in prison.

Great for parents and prosecutors!

Lol, he got what he deserved for being a douchebag.
"Hehehehe, man, wouldn't it be hilarious if I dressed up as prisoner after ruining the current term of an innocent woman's life? Man, this costume is gonna be a huge hit with the ladies! I'm totally getting laid tonight."
Yea. not tonight, but don't worry, once you get to prison, you'll have all the promiscuous sex you could ever dream of whether you want to or not.
