Home alone

Remember the "I can sit naked in my own home drinking coffee if I want to" guy? Turns out he was right:

A man charged with indecent exposure after two women said they saw him naked inside his own home was acquitted Wednesday by a Virginia jury.

Erick Williamson, 29, has argued since his October arrest that he should not be punished for being naked in the privacy of his own home.

Police and prosecutors, as well as the two women who testified against him, said he intended to expose himself and made no attempt to conceal himself in a residential neighborhood filled with children.

Under Virginia law, "indecent exposure" doesn't have to be in a public place, just in a "place where others are present," like in your yard, looking through your window. Common sense won, and it will only cost the guy several thousand dollars in legal bills to be right.
