Newest Dumb Excuses for Criminality
I guess people will say anything to pass on the blame. Take this idiot for example who kidnapped and raped a woman in Australia and then blamed it on a spider bite.
This might actually be a pretty old case given that he was put in prison back in 1997 for an eight year sentence. Maybe this B.S. is coming out at a parole hearing?
An Australian man who kidnapped and raped a woman blamed his actions on a spider, local media reported on Thursday.
Philip Spiers pleaded guilty to the kidnap and rape, but told a court that the poison from a funnel-web spider bite had left him with a viral illness which led to his actions.
But a toxicologist told the New South Wales state District Court there was no medical evidence to suggest a spider bite could be responsible for anger and hatred.
Spiers, who kidnapped and raped the woman in 1997, was sentenced on Wednesday to eight years in jail.
