A 29-year-old black man moved into a vacant $6 million mansion and claimed rightful ownership as a Moorish American National

Lamont Butler argued — literally so, because he defended himself in court — that all of the United States really belongs to him and his Moor peers because the continent is still part of a Moroccan empire and thus our modern leases are meaningless. Unfortunately for him and his girlfriend, the jury didn't agree and convicted both on charges including burglary and identity fraud. "It seemed like they were making up their own laws,” said one juror.
