The 'I Didn't Mean It' Defense Worked
-
This guy caused the burning down of an apartment building. He did it by drunkenly setting his own couch on fire for laughs, then running out of the building when he couldn't put the fire out. And he did it on video. His punishment? probation. Probation? For torching other people's homes? Yes, because, the prosecutor said, it may have been reckless, but he didn't INTEND to burn the place down. Should that be the standard? Or should someone who drinks to excess be held responsible for whatever he does? (WGRZ-TV/Buffalo)
