Kentucky Man Invokes Soda Defense
NEWPORT, Ky. — A Kentucky man accused of strangling his wife is poised to claim that excessive caffeine from sodas, energy drinks and diet pills left him so mentally unstable he couldn’t have knowingly killed her, his lawyer has notified a court....
Time to BAN the BOOZE and SODAS, too!!!
Defense attorney Shannon Sexton argued that his client ingested so much caffeine in the days leading up to the killing that it rendered him temporarily insane, unable even to form the intent of committing a crime.
A legal strategy invoking caffeine intoxication is unusual but has succeeded at least once before....
Only proving their is no doubt in the total idiocy of some people.
What did Barnum say, sucker born every minute?
In AmeriKa it is an idiot born every half-second these days.
