Amanda Gessner, 19, may have the shortest singing career in history. Police in Drexel Hill say that a surveillance camera caught Gessner signing “The fire department is going to be mad at me” before she started seven fires.
Gessner is now being held on $100,000 bail, charged with arson and related offenses.
She is not the only person undone by incriminating musical numbers. Recently, Rico Todriquez Wright, 25, was convicted of a shooting that he described in his rap song, “Hitting Licks for a Living.”
This is precisely why “singing” has always been a derogatory term among the criminal set for confessing. Nothing good has come from mixing crime and song, including the short-lived and even-painful Cop Rock series.

Mr. Turley,
While I respect your work and your legal expertise, you are sorely off-base in your offhand and regrettable comments regarding the series “Cop Rock”.
It is hard to understand how a man of your stature and intellect cannot see the beauty and pure awesomeness of cops, judges, homeless pregnant women, and ladies of the night breaking into song at the drop of a hat and for no damn reason.
I urge you to minimize the embarrassment and damage to your reputation by apologizing for these remarks forth with.

And thus was born, the crime-o-gram.
