Also check out, Lyin' Through Their Teeth:  "Oh, I'm innocent, I never did nothin' wrong!"   The "Goofy Hypoglycemia Defense." Bill Janklow on why he wasn't guilty of manslaughter after his speeding car killed a man who was riding his motorcycle:   "I didn't take my insulin shot in the morning and hadn't eaten all day.  The result, low blood sugar count--hypoglycemia."  Bill's lawyer said he couldn't be guilty of manslaughter because that requires proof of a "conscious disregard," and Janklow, thanks to his hypoglycemia, was "confused" and "mixed up."  The jury didn't buy it, and the prosecutors laughed at "the goofy hypoglycemia defense."  See T. R. Reid, "Jury Finds Janklow Guilty," Washington Post (Dec. 9, 2003).
