I rape you, you rape me, we're a happy family!
The Official Code of Georgia Annotated has been published! We got our copies on Friday, so now we're going through each volume/supplement (as the case may be) and making sure the publisher actually made the corrections we told them to make last month on the page proofs.
Once again, I have the joy and pleasure of going through Title 16, Crimes and Offenses. While doing the page proofs, we editors don't worry about checking all the gazillion annotations (most of which are summaries of case law); we simply don't have the time. Theoretically, it's safe to assume the publisher's copy editors already went over them for grammar and the like. In our office, the annotations are the attorneys' responsibility, checking for the cases' relevance to the Code section, making sure the case is still good law, and so on.
But now, checking our page proofs against the published Code, I get to check some of the annotations to make sure the publisher made the attorneys' corrections.
Right now, I'm checking my most favoritest chapter: Title 16, Chapter 6 - Sexual Offenses.
Yay!
Here's the anno I just read, inspiring this post:
Evidence was sufficient to support defendant's rape conviction because it showed the defendant carried her daughter from the daughter's bed to the bed defendant shared with her husband, watched her husband lay on top of the child, squeezing her stomach and rendering her unable to cry out even when the husband hurt her by placing his penis in her vagina. Spivey v. State, 272 Ga. App. 224, 612 S.E.2d 65 (2005)
Yay!

Yay!
