Indiana gets recognition
The Center for Justice & Democracy has awarded Indiana one of its Top 10 Zany Immunity Law Awards for a law that protects morticians from liability for burying people (or parts of them) in the wrong place. From the award:
Your uncle dies, you bury him and you find out later that hes been buried in the wrong place, or after an autopsy, there are some extra body parts hanging around so the coroner puts them in your great aunts coffin. You find out and are traumatized, of course. But to add insult to injury, you discover that Indiana’s morticians lobby made sure they wouldn’t be legally accountable for any of this.

Indiana also received recognition for protecting real estate agents who sell “psychologically affected” properties, and horse owners whose horses injure other. (link via Ed Feigenbaum at the Indiana Daily Insight).
