Murf the Surf

Murf is known to many lawyers and law students due to a famous law case involving the "Eagle diamond," which was among the gems he stole from the Natural History Museum. It passed from an Eagle, Wisconsin woman to a local jeweler (for $1), to J. P. Morgan, to the museum, to Murf, to who-know-where. Although the Star of India and some other gems were eventually recovered, the Eagle diamond never resurfaced. It has been speculated that it was cut up and sold to pay for Murf''s lawyers. Which goes to prove that it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good. Google "The Adventure of the $1 Diamond" for more information on this aspect of Murf's life.

I'm not saying it's not a solid documentary, it is - of course it is - BUT, at what point as a society do we stop aggrandizing these criminals? At what point do we not ultimately reward them by allowing them to profit from thier crimes and their stories? When do we stop paying them money and attention and ostensibly respect and administration, for these despicable acts?? I don't know what the answer is for yall, but for me enough is enough! I don't care if it's four hours of distracting content that I seemingly desperately require - I don't! I don't want to see these parasites be lauded as outlaw heros because THEY ARE NOT. If you want proof, here is proof - they foisted the loot bag on an unsuspecting girlfriend to mule over state lines, need I say more?
