300 pounder about my height with asthma and a long time smoker is using as his defense that he couldn't have run up 4 steps and then shot someone because his hands would have been too shaky, and even if he could, he couldn't have driven for 21 hours immediately thereafter.
Defense had better hope that no one on that jury has, say, watched The Biggest Loser. Or, say, has any morbidly obese friends. Because _I_ sure don't find that defense plausible. Maybe it's more plausible in person.
