The person who thought up this excuse had a winner here. Now everyone can claim it and who's to prove they're lying? There's just no way to do it.
Yeah. I'm trying to picture myself in court in Idaho saying to a judge and jury - "OK, I drank a bottle of vodka, raped a 15-year-old girl, and ended up standing nekkid in the garden...but I'm really innocent!"
I might get out in time for Y3K. Or not.
A defendant was charged with burglary of an auto parts store. He insisted on testifying, and he spun the jury quite a yarn. "I'm a poor man," he said, "never owned a car. So I walked by this store at 2 a.m. and I noticed the door was open. Now I'm a poor man, never owned a car, and I was curious to see what the inside of an auto parts store looked like. So I walked in and looked around, and noticed this office door was open. So I walked in and there was a desk, and the drawer was open, and in the drawer was a cash box, and it had been broken open. Just as I was thinking, 'my goodness, there's been a burglary here!' the police SWOOPED down and arrested me."
The prosecutor looked at the defendant and said, "Mr. X, do you expect this jury to believe that story?"
The defendant gave him a quizzical look and said, "Well, it could possibly be true."
The courtroom just went nuts. The prosecutor cracked up, the jury was howling, the bailiff had his head down on the table . . . and the judge had to pretend to drop a pencil so he could get his head under the bench and have his laugh out.
Once they stopped laughing, they found him guilty.
Your wife attacks you while you are asleep, huh? Mine too. She says I never have complained, not once in 30 years!
A man named Ecott, a girl named Dewdney, vodka, sex, sleep-walking ...
Quick, someone, write a limerick.
Woman on “House, M.D.” had the same thing.
Somehow it seemed more attractive.
Oh I forget, it's England... hmm, well a maybe a condition that makes you grab a butcher knife and cut of the balls and other "parts" of rapists while you sleep.

“Man, if I’m ever caught red-handed over a corpse with a smoking gun in my hand, I want this guy’s lawyer.”
LOL! Definitely ... funny thing, I believe the story!
“Let him to it to an “Asian” woman.”
He’s just got back from Iraq and Afghanistan. He probably has. Several times.
Hi Everyone,
I’d just like to reply to all the comments above about a certain RAF man that you are Discussing. I am his niece. I was there in the courtroom. And I want to make something clear to everyone before everyone starts a backlash on him, our family and the justice system. My uncle was found NOT GUILTY. Now this was not on the basis of him sleepwalking. he was found not guilty on the grounds that there was no evidence forensic or otherwise. The girl and her family and friends we’re all exposed as liars all of whom I know on a close personal level. My Uncle is a great wonderful careing man who unfortunately has been at the centre of a horrible ordeal but he has come through. Now I hope that the press and the public leave him be.
I’m sure most of the people typing derogatory remarks are doing so in a somnambulistic state and don’t really mean it.
There’s an RAF mechanic named Ecott,
And some 15 year old tail is what ‘e got.
Though innocent by jury,
this man should be worried,
‘Cause if I were the father, he’d be shot!
Did he actually have sex with the girl or just lay on top of her. It’s not entirly clear in the story.
LU....LU!!!!
