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 her, his lawyer has notified a court.
Strategy has worked
A legal strategy invoking caffeine intoxication is unusual but has succeeded at least once before, in a case involving a man cleared in 2009 of charges of running down and injuring two people with a car in Washington state.

umm... maybe if he did them all at once for several hours. saying you drugged yourself and therefore shouldnt be held responsible for your actions is a bit... strange.

Sounds like the twinkie defense all over again. You know,even if you buy into the idea, he made the choice to consume that stuff. He is still culpable.

This is a dangerous precedent, pretty soon people will blame Maxwell House for office shootings.
