Especially if you want to stab someone 61 times and get away with it. Take a card from Joseph Biedermann, who was able to get off charges for first-degree murder under the guise that it was self-defense. From what, exactly? From his neighbor’s unwanted sexual advances.
Much like the Twinkie Defense, this “self-defense” argument is barely standing on one skinny little leg, and yet people were able to see and understand how stabbing someone 61 times is okay. As if the first five times wasn’t enough, he had to make sure his neighbor was good and dead so he wouldn’t make passes at him anymore. Wouldn’t the best thing to do is call the cops or get a restraining order? Was that many stabs really necessary? I really don’t think so, and I think Biedermann was just using the whole self-defense card to cover up his homicidal nature. Not everyone can be as good as Dexter, I suppose.
So remember kids, if someone comes on to you too many times and you accidentally stab them 1-61 times, it was self defense. Oh, and make sure you get the guy who got R. Kelly acquitted of child pornography charges and also helped out Rod Blagojevich. Couldn’t hurt.
