Man stabs roommate to death in smelly feet row
Okay, it’s a tragedy: a man lost his life and all of that – but it’s still kind of funny too…:
A man was sentenced to 35 years in prison for stabbing his roommate to death after an argument in their Houston apartment about stinky feet. He pleaded no contest to murder. Court documents indicate the man initially claimed self-defense.
I love the self-defense part.
I wonder how the whole of that argument ran. Maybe it had something to do with natural defense systems. How a frightened octopus sprays ink when it thinks it’s under attack. Or, more to the point, how skunks spray their attackers with their Weapon of Mass Distraction.
So, this killer might argue that by complaining about his smelly feet, his victim had tried to rob him of his most important line of defense – and by doing this the latter had threatened the former’s survival: So, stabbing the guy would be a clear case of self defense indeed.
QED!
Perry Mason would have been so proud…
