Weekend at Jeffrey's

[:1]This is sick, but nevertheless quite amusing. It never ceases to amaze me what people will do sometimes.


Quote:




Jeffrey Jarrett bought his roommate and a friend a round of drinks, Mexican food and a trip to strip club Shotgun Willie's one night in late August, authorities say.

But while Jarrett was present for some of the fun, he wasn't alive to enjoy any of it.

After a shorter but boozier and less-amusing real-life version of the film "Weekend at Bernie's," Denver prosecutors have charged two men with abusing a corpse, identity theft and criminal impersonation.

Court papers say they loaded Jarrett's body into a car and drove him to various stops around Denver for a night � including a bar and a restaurant � while they used his bank card at an ATM.|||Quote:




His family now wants to find out how he died, and whether he could have been saved if Young had called for help rather than going to meet a friend.

"We just want to make sure they're prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," the relative said.




Yikes. You really don't want this to happen to someone you know. They just drove him around, instead of getting help immediately?|||That strip club's name is hilarious.

Quote:




Young arrived about 11 p.m. at Jarrett's southeast Denver home, in the 1800 block of South Forest Street, and found him unresponsive. Rather than calling 911, he went to the restaurant where Rubinson works (...) The pair returned to Jarrett's home, loaded him into Rubinson's Lincoln Navigator and took him to Teddy T's bar and grill.




wtf... seriously... wtf. It's one thing to steal his credit card, buy why on earth would they bring him?|||Quote:

I have no idea, I was wondering too. Perhaps they thought he wasn't really, definitely dead and might suddenly spring to life, wanting a drink...?|||Quote:

Haha yeah.

Maybe they were taking him along, putting him in the back seat so that if the guy in the restaurant asked whose credit card it was, they could point at him...? Or... Ahh I just don't understand the logic. Imagine randomly getting pulled over by a cop and trying to explain the extra passenger...

"No he's just holding his breath"|||Nice "friends"...|||Quote:








Nice "friends"...




I have to wonder, did they perhaps think he was drunk and unconscious?

It's hard to imagine that they knew he was dead, and took him for a ride anyway.|||If they were drunk, maybe they just thought he had passed out and were all "lulz let's buy a bunch of stuff on his CC and tell him he just doesn't remember it when he wakes up tomorrow."

If that is the case, I don't think they really should be punished. It's stupid as hell, but they probably feel horrible already.|||When I die, this is exactly what I want to happen.
