I Guess She Doesn't Have A Penal!

Isn't that what they are saying here?

Exposure case dismissed on technicality
Source: UPI LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- A California judge has dismissed indecent exposure charges against a woman on grounds the penal code is gender-specific. Superior Court Judge Robert W. Armstrong of Riverside County, Calif., says because the statute mentions a person who "exposes his person," he had to dismiss charges against Alexis Luz Garcia, 40, The Los Angeles Times reported. Garcia was charged with a misdemeanor last May after neighbors said she disrobed in front of their 14-year-old son who was playing basketball outside. In opposing dismissal, the district attorney's office argued that the lack of a feminine reference in the penal code was a typographical error and that applying the law only to men would be a violation of the state's constitution, the newspaper said. Armstrong did not agree. "I'm just telling you what it says, so on that basis this case is dismissed," he said. A spokesman for the district attorney's office says an appeal is planned, the Times said.
