Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee (and a few other famous defenses)
I have a bit of a bug. A pretty nasty one. I'm contemplating getting off the couch to make a cup of coffee. Or clean the litterbox. Or reading the paper. Or going to work. None of them sound appealing. A nap sounds better. I'm glad I have a separate keyboard for this laptop, as even it feels heavy.
I remember reading about some other famous legal defenses. You now know about "affluenza" and the "twinkie" defense is also (in)famous. There is the "Sumdood" defense, of which, the most common variant is the "SumBlackDood". That variant was used in the murder of Carol DiMaiti by her husband. There is the "Toyota Justification" defense ("he asked for it, he got it [Toyota]"). And the old classic, the "Six-Point" defense ("My. Client. Did. Not. Do. It.")
Back to bed, I think.

I'm now waiting for the 'poorenza' defense... sigh
Probably won't happen, they'd have to find a shrink who'd work for free. Buying that kind of opinion takes real money.
Wonder what defense General Clapper would use (assuming they ever prosecuted him). "Your Honor, I'm lying as little as I can"?
Good question. The "I Vas Chust Followink Orders, Mein Herr" defense has been overused. So I imagine that Jimmie the Perjurer's lawyers are working on it.
