I hate to be laughing when a man is dead . . . but the ludicrous nature of the defense just invites laughter.

If this is the best this guy can do for a defense, I hope the jury laughs out loud . . . and then convicts him of everything in sight.

It is a heart-warming feeling for a lawyer when his opponent is arguing and you see one of the jurors in the box fold her arms and snort. That happened to me once, and it was a happy day (the jury was out only 20 minutes and returned a verdict in our favor. It took them that long to elect a foreman and send out for coffee.)

I hope something similar happens here.

I too hate to laugh too — but you either laugh or you cry at this.

Initially his defenders here and elsewhere were postulating the popcorn defense but abandoned that rather quickly.

With the UFO defense his attorney is somehow alleging that the victim had three hands — one for his cell phone, one for the bag of popcorn that he threw, and a third arm for that UFO that he threw.

Perhaps he is going to allege that the victim himself was an three-armed Alien — just before he files the insanity defense.
