Description

From shacking up in Michigan to eating oranges in the bathtub on California soil, there are some truly bizarre “dead crimes” on the books in the U.S. Joel Johnson, a law professor at Pepperdine University’s Caruso School of Law, penned “Dealing with Dead Crimes”, an examination of these outdated rules and how they actually undermine the rule of law. He joined “Something Offbeat” this week to dive deeper.
This episode also features audio from Audacy’s “The Daily J” podcast and WWJ Newsradio’s coverage of a current push to get rid of that Michigan cohabitation law. Special thanks to Zach Clark and the WWJ team!
