    I wouldn’t exactly call being trapped in a house that was lifted by a tornado and dropped on someone’s head “murder” in the classical sense. And it’s not like the witch was going to need those shoes anymore. Besides, Dorothy didn’t steal the shoes, the “Good” Witch Of The North looted them off the dead body and gave them to Dorothy. Are you going to turn down shoes from some weirdo that just pulled them off a dead body like it wasn’t the first time that’s happened?

      I’m gonna be honest. Someone puts shoes on me without me knowing and then asserts that they are magic? I’m taking the shoes. They’re mine now.

      Knowingly accepting stolen property is a misdemeanor that carries with it jail time, a fine, restitution or probation. Depending on what those ruby red slippers were valued at, it would be a felony.

        She literally had just came out of a house that was thrown far away from her home town by a tornado. She was likely traumatized, in shock, and didn’t know what was going on. She’s surrounded by a bunch of little people following a weirdo shoe looter that hands her shoes, which she needs as she has none because hers were taken by a tornado. I think any judge would understand the circumstances and let her off.

          Typical radical-Oz talk.
