playing the "fat" card

just this week i've come across two stories where defendants are using their obesity as an excuse. the first is an ohio man that says he's too fat to execute [story here] and the one today is a texas woman, weighing nearly 1000 lbs, who says she couldn't have killed her two-year-old nephew because of her limited mobility [story here].

i suppose, in world filled with fried twinkies, chocolate covered bacon, sonic mac 'n chees bites and chili mac push pops, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
