Because there are such GREAT cases to read and enjoy.
For example, here's the gist of Commonwealth v. Mochan (Pennsylvania, 1955):
"Mochan was charged in separate indictments with intending 'to debauch and corrupt, and further devising and intending to harass, embarrass and villify [sic] one Louise Zivkovich' ... by telephoning her various times, during which he did wickedly and maliciously refer to the said Louise Zivkovich as a lewd, immoral and lascivious woman of an indecent and lewd character, and [made] other scurrilous, opprobrious, filthy, disgusting, and indecent [comments] ... It is established ... that the defendant on numerous occasions ... telephoned one Louise Zivkovich, a stranger to him and a married woman of the highest character and repute. He called as often as three times each week and at any hour of the day or night. His language on these calls was obscene, lewd, and filthy. he not only suggested intercourse with her but talked of sodomy as well, in the loathsome language of that criminal act, on a number of occasions."
Scurrilous? Opprobrious? Lascivous? I thought I was leaving all the fun words behind! Woo hoo!
