<div>At first I thought this was a joke, then read the article to discover that an actual court defense based partly on the effects of caffeine was used in a recent court case on the Palouse. An excerpt from the article: </div>
<p>"Moorer said Noble awoke in pajamas and slippers in near-freezing weather, went to a Starbucks and downed two large coffees before driving eight miles to Pullman where the pedestrians were hit.</p>
<div>Medical tests in the Noble case resulted in a diagnosis of a rare form of bipolar disorder — triggered by heavy consumption of caffeine, Moorer said."</div>
