Would you be willing to bet $1,000,000 that I could not get myself arrested in Texas for a murder (which I had nothing to do with), have a DA indict me, stand trial for murder, be found guilty by the jury and be sentenced to death by the judge?

I could do it -- and accomplish two things: make an easy million and cause a media furor when all the facts were released that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that I was not only the wrong man, but wasn't even in the state when the murder was committed.

I will even consider the bet in increments:

Get arrested for murder in Texas: $100,000
Indictment: $100,000
Trial: $100,000
Found Guilty: $200,000
Sentenced to death: $500,000
