[Jeff Chandler]

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

I HATE it when that happens!

[Steely Tom]

I found out about it like everyone else, when I read it in the paper.

No one is more flabbergasted than me, I assure you.

[Genoa]

Very sad. I should be glad my wife doesn’t use this kind of cold medicine.

[katana]

Nice try, “Reverend”.

[AZLiberty]

Didn’t he know that Twinkies we’re back in production? He could have used the tried and true defense.

[Slyfox]

I used to use NyQuil so I could get to sleep when I suffered through a cold until about ten years ago when I woke up the next morning after using it I had an abnormal case of agitated anger. It was of the seething variety. It scared the crap out of me. There is something in that medication that did not sit right with me. And I have never used it again.

Don't know if this guy had the same reaction as I did, but I did want to choke someone.

[AZLiberty]

He couldn’t get over her so he got pastor.

[LydiaLong]

Killer Nyquil

[Steely Tom]

I’m sure Mr. Phelps will be accorded the same deference and respect that has been offered to Officer Mohamed Noor of Minneapolis.

About whom virtually nothing has been heard since July 27th, according to Google.

[LydiaLong]

He couldn’t get over her so he got pastor.

This “Aspiring Pastor” sounds very much like some “Aspiring Rappers.”

[HonkyTonkMan]

I hope the sharp scientists and investigators on Forensic Files take this guy down.

[FreedomStar3028]

I said several times that it would be pushed under the rug and covered up by his partner, other boys in blue, lawyers, the DA, and judges.

Looks like I was right.

[OwenKellogg]

The nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, stabbing, aching, fever, best sleep with a cold medicine.

[I want the USA back]

Sorry, but there is no “cold medicine” defense. The law cannot look into his mind and see if he’s sincere. If he’s a pastor, he’ll have a discussion with God one day.
I vote to convict.

[jiggyboy]

I’ll wait for the toxicology report. Place your bets:

- it wasn’t Coricidin
- it was Corcidin plus some other drug(s), maybe legal, maybe illegal
- “more than I should have” = entire bottle

[Jagman]

If this sticks to the Forensic Files template, in about four week we’ll discover his wife just found out about his sidepiece, and that he had embezzled money from somewhere. And he’ll suddenly change his story...

[Leep]

Meanwhile, cold medicine sales have inexplicably soared.
