If he claims that caffeine makes him a murderer, then why am I not a serial killer? BS bro. Your just placing blame on your own mental instability. Your lawyer got some nads to play this one out. Out of the millions and millions that consume caffeine everyday your the only one driven to murder, yeah right.

The key word here is "excessive". Caffeine along won't make you a murder, but over 400 mg in a day may cause mental instability.

Injesting over 400 mg of caffeine in a day is a bad decision, and it's something the man did to himself. When a person does something to destroy his own state of mind, he's still resonsible for what he does in that destroyed stated of mind.

We still prosecute the drunk driver even though he clearly had no idea what he was doing.

I'm not concerned. I don't think he's got any chance of convincing a Kentucky jury to swallow this BS. The best he can hope for is a change of venue to San Francisco.

Sounds like something from a Sienfeld episode.

If I thought the caffeine defense would work, I would be very, very busy.

We blame all sorts of crimes committed by drugs, or lack thereof.
Why should caffeine be any different?
