Why am I humming "Give 'Em the Old Razzle Dazzle" now?

If the bottle doesn't fit, you must aquit!

[Max Headroom]

Jamie, you misspelled "aqvavit."

Lesson: If a situation arises where sobriety could come into question, DON'T DRINK!

S-W-E-E-T!!!

His "reasoning" is scientifically invalid.

Sterilize him.

There's a Lawyer who earned his fee, for better or worse.

His "reasoning" could have got him killed!

That being said, there are still people oblivious enough to believe that alcohol will give them warmth, and for all I know this guy could fall into that category. That's reasonable doubt for me.

Say what they will, the Prosecutors NEVER had any proof of his condition at the time of the accident. This case should NEVER have gone to a jury.
The prosecutors' office wasted the taxpayers' $$$.
Don't they watch "Law and Order"?
