In 1960, Dr. George Mickey, dean of the Graduate School, was accused of murdering a UNO professor, Margaret McMillan, and dumping her body off River Road just outside campus.
Mickey was cleared and released because of “tampered evidence,” despite McMillan’s bloodstains and fingerprints in Mickey’s car, as well as a faulty alibi.
This is just another example of why we need CSI: BR.
In 1925, agronomy professor Oscar Turner arrived to his office the night before a final exam to find that the exams had disappeared.
The morning of the final, Turner returned to his office and was decapitated, supposedly by the student who was returning the stolen exams.
No one was ever convicted, but more importantly, everyone still passed the exam the next day.
In 2000, LSU’s dean of students, John Baker, was stabbed in his driveway by a recently disciplined philosophy student.
The student, Marques Smith, attacked the dean after receiving a letter accusing Smith of altering his grades.
Obviously, Smith, a sane and rational individual, would never do something as extreme as altering his grades.
Former LSU football player Cecil “The Diesel” Collins was arrested in 1998 after breaking into women’s apartments and demanding sex.
He went on to play for the Miami Dolphins, only to be arrested again in 1999 for similar charges, claiming he only wanted to watch the woman sleep. His release date is 2014.
You wouldn’t think it would be that hard for an NFL player to get laid …

Steve Danos, a former LSU student and serial “cuddler,” was arrested in 2003 for sneaking into girls’ apartments near campus and watching them sleep.
While in the apartments, Danos would straighten up, do the girls’ laundry and occasionally crawl into bed with them.

Let me guess: He up and left and never called? Obviously, he just wasn’t that into them.
