The standard example of chutzpah used to be the man who killed both of his parents with an axe, then threw himself at the mercy of the court because he was an orphan! Step aside, dude, since this real-life incident from the British paper the Telegraph is sure to turn your stomach. Here's the first half of the article:
Josef Fritzl, who locked his daughter in a cellar dungeon for 24 years, has asked permission to leave his prison cell after admitting he can no longer stand being cooped up.
Fritzl, 73, kept daughter Elisabeth locked in a windowless cellar in Amstetten, Austria, and fathered her seven children before being caught by police. Three of the children had never seen daylight before being released.
Now, after just two months of incarceration and despite his fear of being attacked by fellow prisoners, he has demanded his right to 30 minutes exercise every day.
Fritzl has now twice had half-hour walks, protected from other inmates by a close guard of prison officers....
