Ambien can cause you to do some strange stuff. I had my family tell me about entire conversations I had with them in the middle of the night.
I am surprised that was not her defense.
Looks like she tried that.
““When he told me what happened, I had no idea,” court documents quote Bishop as saying. “I was so drugged.
“I thought it was a dream. I’ve been so sick over it. I literally have no recollection.”
The documents say Bishop claimed she was “disgusted, scared and sad,” and that she had researched side effects of Ambien, the documents say, adding that investigators found no such searches on her phone’s web history.”
It was her excuse, but was not a good defense. From an earlier article:
In her statement to police, Bishop reportedly said: “several times she was disgusted, scared, and sad and that she had been researching the side effects of Ambien.” The only internet searches police said they found on Bishop’s phone the day after the incident were several “step-mom, step-son” related porn searches, and video views.
Ambien is a great defense. Can cause crazy behavior in the sanest of folks.
