Satanist wannabe Lazaro Galindo proved himself a fool by demanding the right to wear his "ritual garb" to his human sacrifice murder trial, then an even bigger fool by trying the "I found Jesus" card just before the trial, as if that's ever worked in the history of trials.(Did I mention he's acting as his own lawyer?)

A prisoner convicted of smothering her own child demands a drum in her cell so she can practice her credo of nonviolence. Let's hope her cellmates practice the same.

Witchy Happenings
