If He’s Unfit, They Must Acquit!

Defendant Claims He's Too Fat To Kill

Faced with a murder rap, Edward Ates hopes to beat it,* saying there’s no way he could have climbed the stairs, got the shot off and bolted fast enough to do what prosecutors said he did … kill his son-in-law in the middle of a bitter custody dispute with his daughter. WPIX.

AP serves up a legal defense expert who says it’s a fresh, tantalizing, maybe even irresistible approach. Here in Fat Nation, with a sympathetic fat jury, maybe not so half-baked to cook up a defense like … too fat to kill!

I dunno about you but I’m grabbing the Cheez Doodles and checking the Court TV schedule.

* No cruel Weird Al Yankovich jokes please.
