A Kentucky man accused of strangling his wife is claiming insanity caused by caffeine. Prosecutors say “Wake up and smell the body.”
He claims to have ingested excessive soda, energy drinks and diet pills to stay awake. In that sense, this legal strategy is not unlike the Irish Spring defense.
He killed his wife with an extension cord. He relates that to the sodas he’d been drinking, Jolt.
It sounds like a spur of the moment defense. Police catch him holding the extension cord, ask why he did it, and he answered, “I’m wired.”
This man is one of those people who, if he doesn’t have his caffeine in the morning, barely has the energy to kill anyone.
It’s been suggested that he try 5-hour energy and then see what the rest of his killings feel like.
It is good that he was taking diet pills, because he has a fat chance.
The man not only wants a speedy trial, he wants more speed.
If caffeine is determined to be the cause of the murder, cream and sugar may be tried as accessories.
The man’s coffee cup will be brought in for a mug shot.
