IMBECILITY DEFENSE IN MOONDA TRIAL

PITTSBURGH - Murder suspect Donna Moonda will not claim insanity as her defense. Instead, her attorney will employ the novel buy rarely successful "Imbecility Defense," with Moonda claiming that she suffers from, what her attorney calls, "a severe form of dumbsh*tism" that caused her to trust her former boyfriend Damian Bradford.

Court appointed psychologists confirmed that both Moonda and Bradford, "are indeed dumbsh*ts. In fact, both individuals are not run-of-the-mill dumbsh*ts, but a form of super-dumbsh*t rarely encountered in scientific research."

Shortly following his arrest, Damian Bradford, confessed to shooting Dr. Gulam Moonda in exchange for a box of Twinkies and a case of Mountain Dew. He implicated Mrs. Moonda after police offered Bradford Ho-Ho's and Mr.Pibb during interrogation. Bradford has struck a plea bargain to testify against Mrs. Moonda in exchange for easy access to sugar and caffeine during his lengthy confinement. Carbolic Smoke Ball court analyst attorney and Dumbsh*tism sufferer Rick Santorum, said that he doubts the condition will be a successful defense. "Based on my personal experience," said Santorum, "you need to add crazy into the mix to make it work."
