Twinkie Defense not working? Try "Gay Panic"

*This story is pretty old, but is still relevant for its complete riDONKulousness. Read on.

Michael Griffin, a 25-year-old ex-marine and Bloomington, Indiana resident, stabbed Indiana University professor Don Belton in Belton's kitchen six times with a ten-inch military knife.

Why?

Some "experts" (morons) have speculated it might have been "gay panic", where the assailant was rendered temporarily insane by the perceived romantic or sexual advances of the victim.

Just sounds like regular ol' homophobia; but apparently, this is getting serious consideration. In Illinois, it allowed one man to walk free after stabbing a person 60 TIMES.
So much for thou shalt not kill.
