"The Annals of Chutzpah"

Overlawyered reports on this outrage:

"In Nova Scotia, Astrid Margaret Literski is locked in a battle with Revenue Canada over whether she is entitled to child tax benefit checks associated with her late daughter Eveleigh. Literski is incarcerated after pleading guilty to second-degree murder for killing the girl, then 4, in 2003. The tax agency says it wants back some of the money it sent Literski because it learned after the fact that the girl was actually living with her father, her primary caretaker, at the time."

Isn't this like the old joke about someone killing his parents, then throwing himself on the mercy of the court because he's an orphan?
