Horribly, you regularly see this in supreme court cases. Some case has the conservatives denying a significant right to a criminal suspect and the decision will start with a lurid depiction of the crime they were convicted of through the denial of some right.

Sometimes the crime in case isn't actually that bad, so they have to dig for a lurid description of a different crime entirely.
