Court Rules 'Cannibal Cop' Can Fantasize About Whatever He Wants

A federal appeals court on Thursday tossed the final
remaining conviction of Gilberto Valle, a former NYPD officer
who was infamously prosecuted for fantasizing on an online forum
about cooking and eating his wife and other women alive -- from
a work computer. The ghastly details of the Valle case and his
2013 trial fueled a media maelstrom in New York -- even
inspiring an HBO documentary. But last year, a federal judge
threw out a jury verdict convicting Valle of the most serious
charge he faced -- kidnapping conspiracy -- ruling the evidence
insufficient.
