This happened awhile ago, but recent events brought it to mind. It is a staple of local history though.
It appears that murder isn't murder if you have blood sugar problems. A few years ago, a woman got mad at her husband and drove over him repeatedly with her car. Fortunately for her, she had enough money to hire the state senator, David Williams, as her defense attorney. He managed to convince the jury that she wasn't responsible for her actions, because her blood sugar was low. Think about it. She deliberately ran him over. that was never in question. And all she had to do to walk free was to say her blood sugar was low.
I don't think this shows badly on David Williams. After all, he was doing his job, and obviously doing it very well. But where to you find a jury stupid enough to buy that drivel.

Yes, I agree with you that she was a total bitch and whoever bought that inane drivel needs to really re-evaluate their lives as human beings.
