I had to kill her officer. She made the coffee to strong..

(AP) A Kentucky man accused of strangling his wife is poised to claim excessive caffeine from sodas, energy drinks and diet pills left him so mentally unstable he couldn't have knowingly killed his wife, his lawyer has notified a court."

Dunno if murder was warranted, but maybe he had "grounds" for divorce.

(I know. It had nothing to do with her skills as a barista.)

honestly it is possible, being a person who has ingested as much as a gram of caffeine in one sitting, it can and will make you mentally incompetent, i have done some really stupid things because of it, nothing serious, just dumb and idiotic. after about 300mg, it starts to screw with your perception of reality and ability to reason, no kidding.

Hey Honey , could you put on another pot of coffee..please....

 

[majorloser]

If That's The Case...

With as much caffiene as I jam into my system everyday, I'd be able to get away with genocide.

I'm beyond the level of caffiene addict.

It must not have been the wife that made the coffee. Had it been, wouldn't they have charged him with assisted suicide?

Energy drinks/caffine should not be a viable defense. That is idiotic.

Nothing is worse than the chick I saw last night on "Freaky Eaters" last night in terms of caffine and sugar. HOLY CRAP, this chick routinely drank at least 30 regular cokes a DAY. That is absolutely ridiculous. She is only 20 and is prediabetic according to doctors.

I read an article once that said that extracted caffine in a powder form would legally qualify as a controlled substance, no doze not withstanding.

Nobody wants to be responsible for anything anymore. What about "Hey, I was angry and did something absolutely horrific and will pay the price". Everyone is looking for a way out.

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I knew I miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my back yard


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
She *****ed so much
She drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain

The lawyers are pushin that defense - reaching IMO, grabbin at straws at this point - doubtful it makes it very far, though gotta give it to 'em for trying something unique. Either way, they get paid so what do they care if they make a mockery of the court system....

Boston Legal FTW

I don't condone it but thats an amazing show.... Denny Crane !!!!

I have heard that sugar partially counteracts the effects of caffeine, which could explain why people who drink sugared soda with caffeine don't try to fly. I drink diet soda and had heart palpitations one night, so I eventually went in to get checked out. No problems, other than being freaked out and tired from them keeping me there until almost 2AM. They scheduled a stress test for 8AM the same morning and I asked "So, no sleep is supposed to be good for me?". I got there and after seeing the results, the Dr asked if I drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages. I told him that I had been drinking three sodas per day. He said I needed to cut back when I told him they were the 64 Oz jobs at the local Speedway station.

I will take sugar over Aspertame any day... except that nearly all soda uses high fructose corn syrup and not actual sugar. I am stocked up on Mt.Dew Throwback and should be good for a month or two Love that natural sugar taste and it is better for you. A chemical engineer told me the body has a harder time processing HFCS compared to real sugar, so even though sugar has higher calories, since the body deals with it much more easily, it is less harmful to you.

I consider myself to be a bit of a caffine addict, but I still could not drink 3 64oz worth of soda in one day! WOW.

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I knew I miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my back yard


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
She *****ed so much
She drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain

Great GNR song.

Sounds more plausable then the "Twinkee" defense of 15 years ago.

Can't anyone take responsibilty anymore, just tell the jury, "Beyatch friggin nagged me night and day and day and night" Listening to her complain about her co-workers, her menstruel cycle, what happened on "Grey's Anatomy" and "Desperate Housewives" her complaining about fair pay and being a slave at home doing dishes, laundry, cooking, cleaning, her tupperware parties, that slut in accounting, how Linda down the street husband treats her like a goddess, nag, nag nag nag nag nag sounds like Charlie Brown's Friggin teacher, (Wah, Wah, Wah Wah, Wah wah) her constant talking drove me to the breaking point till my last reasonable thought was, "just kill her" so I did.

All that guy needs is just one man on the jury and he's walking out the door a free man.


for any women reading this, I kid, I kid.

But your honor, she NEEDED killing!

Oh no! Not another honor killing.

To be honest, it is a much more plausible defense than "Full Throttle made me do it."

I did it for the honor.
I got honor.
I stayed honor.
Then I c… honor.
