Twinkie Defense?

Post by Hope6 »

i've been reading some stories about people killing other people and then their defense was that they were hyped up on to much sugar from eating to many twinkies or some other sweets!

i've never heard of such a thing before! :confused:

is something like that possible? :thinking:

if sugar makes you violent i would be one of the most violent people ever with all the sweets i eat, but i'm a little angel! :yh_rotfl

so basically i don't believe it! :(

Was the defense ever successful?

well evidently it's a defense used for more than just twinkies! :-3



In jurisprudence, "Twinkie defense" is a derisive label for a criminal defendant's claims that some unusual biological component factored into the causes or motives of an alleged crime. According to this defense, the biological factor should mitigate the defendant's responsibility, and he therefore should not be held criminally liable for actions which violated the law, or the criminal liability should be reduced to a lesser offense. While biological factors may certainly influence behavior, the label of "Twinkie defense" implies that the specific biological factor is one that most people would view as not being sufficient to account for criminal activity, such as the effects of allergies, minor stimulants such as coffee and nicotine, sugar and/or vitamins.

I think the defense has be tried but never successful to my knowledge. I would be at the top of the list for this defense but all sugar does to me is make me happy. :yh_rotfl

It's a known fact that eating Twinkies can cause manopolosytaisis.

Sorry-----------it's really very similar to the clysterinsis syndrome that Dr. Ivan Bullshitis discovered in South Africa in 1938. Today, this particular bacterium can sometimes be found in Oreo cookies.

Hey Southern Belle!

Where you are don't you guys say "gimme some sugar!" when you want a kiss?

So may kisses are to blame?
