U.S. — The nation was thrown into a state of shock on Tuesday afternoon, as a jury in Texas ruled that you can't just stab someone in the heart for no reason at all.

The case of one person taking a knife out of their bag to stab another person in the heart for no reason at all had legal experts and the public all scratching their heads, wondering what the legal outcome might be. The members of the jury in the Collin County District courtroom rocked the nation after it came out to announce their verdict that stabbing someone in the heart for no reason at all is "bad" and what some might call "murder."

Amazingly, the jury went on to read out a guilty verdict to the accused heart-stabber on the charge of first-degree murder.

"Honestly, we didn't know which way this case would go," said criminal defense attorney Anthony Pitaki. "With today's activist judges, you can do all sorts of violent things in America and get away with it normally. This was a surprising outcome."

"This court case is a real wake-up call to the people carrying knives in this country with the expectation that they can stab anyone they choose in the heart for no reason at all and get zero consequences."

At publishing time, the nation wondered if not being able to stab someone in the heart for no reason at all might set a precedent for criminalizing other acts of violence.
