The Associated Press: Ky. man claims caffeine insanity in wife's death
Dr. Roland Griffiths, a professor of behavioral biology at Johns Hopkins University has noted in an unrelated study that there is a diagnosis for "caffeine intoxication," which includes nervousness, excitement, insomnia and possibly rambling speech.
A legal strategy invoking caffeine intoxication is unusual but has succeeded at least once before, in a case involving a man cleared in 2009 of charges of running down and injuring two people with a car in Washington state.
I wasn't too surprised to hear there was a similar case in Washington. We are very overcaffinated people here in Seattle. The only time I get violent though is when I don't get my coffee. :tongue:
