Apparently having sex with dead roadkill deer is no longer trendy. The new craze? Having sex with your girlfriend's roadkilled dog. The dog in question had been dead nearly a week, and the corpse-humper was caught near a daycare center as an animal control officer (with whom he scuffled with) came to collect the corpse. Oh, and the girlfriend was there too.
His lawyer is using the "if the animal is deceased, screw the beast" defense that was unsuccessful in the Wisconsin deer humping case.

Of course this begs the question- how bad a lay does your girlfriend have to be before you decide that you're better off nailing the week-old corpse of her dog? If I was his laywer, I'd consider changing my defense strategy since the current argument was unsuccessful in Wisconsin.

The "my girlfriend isn't putting out so I had to screw her dead dog instead" defense- while untried- would be a novel approach.

This took place in Michigan- the trend apparently is working it's way Eastward. Feel free to speculate what kind of dead animal gets screwed next in Ohio.
