Latin Quotes, Sayings, Tattoos, Phrases & Mottos

Most texts and materials on this site have to do with the Latin language, including its perception in popular culture: movies, tattoos, inscriptions, engravings, bits of ancient philosophy, online Latin resources and company names. There is also information about learning Latin and Greek: textbooks, dictionaries, DVDs and software that can be used in a homeschooling environment.

A legal loophole?

Friday, October 19, 2007, 12:28 - Latin Language, Legal Phrases and Expressions

Here is a legal maxim:

Qui peccat ebrius, luat sobrius - He who does wrong when drunk must be punished when sober. (http://www.inrebus.com/legalmaxims_q.php)

Does this mean that someone upon committing a crime (DUI even?) can escape the terrible blow of justice being administered, as long as this person manages to maintain a continuous state of drunkenness, or at the very least to do his/her best to become drunk once approached by law enforcement agents?

It appears as if the Vatican wants to publish the Chinon Parchment at about $8K a copy. Sadly, this is out of my price range. I am guessing, it's for collectors only.
