When Maj. Robert Martin, an Army attorney, got caught passing bad checks and defrauding his clients of about $100,000, the evidence against him was overwhelming. Mr. Martin's lawyers argued that he was insane.
The attorneys brought in mental-health experts, including the chairman of Duke University's Psychiatry Department, who diagnosed him with bipolar disorder. They dug up evidence of his erratic behavior, including a bizarre get-rich-quick scheme involving selling honey-baked hams in Mexico. They argued their client committed his crimes while in a manic state during which he didn't know the difference between right and wrong.
What's wrong with selling honey-baked hams in Mexico? Happens all the time to Herr Rot.
