Never heard of it, but I am putting my ho-ho defense together as we speak.

The fact that I recall this defence on Australian national news, points to the continuing decline in television news standards, not to the birth of a fantastic new legal strategy …..

Always enjoy your show Steve, you're very helpful. Hadn't heard that the killer had committed suicide but knew about the rest. I consider you to be not only a lawyer but an investigative reporter also. Of course it doesn't hurt to have an inquisitive mind as an attorney.

While it seemed it a miscarriage of justice, my criminal justice textbook at college certainly claimed that the "twinkie defense" was a thing. It seemed odd to me at the time, so your stance on this does not surprise me, to be honest.

It’s amazing how much “common knowledge “ is based on urban legends. You and snopes.com are performing a valuable public service.
