Look Mom, No Shirt

As I watched Jason Marks tell a story this morning about a shooting in Lincoln County, I got to thinking about something. I'd say at least half to two-thirds of the time when we show a murder suspect or someone who's been charged with murder, they never have a shirt on.

Why is this? So two people are in a fight, it gets heated and one says, "You'd better watch it, I might take my shirt off and shoot you."

Really I guess it's more than just murder and shooting suspects. On many occasions when you see video of someone or their mug shot, they don't have a shirt on.

So I guess the moral is, keep your shirt on and maybe you won't get taken to jail.
