It is NOT true. And someone tried the twinkie defense but you don't know what that actually involved. You are speaking of things which you do NOT understand. Dan White was found guilty of manslaughter in the killing of Harvey Milk. Why? The argument was actually diminished capacity -- NOT from eating twinkies. That was a myth. DO NOT spread falsehoods. Basically the argument was Dan White was depressed. He did things to indicate his severe depression including not shaving, refusing to take care of himself, indulging in a diet that was not full of health foods but rather sugared treats. So don't go there.It actually is true as funny as it sounds, but someone also plead insanity for comitting murder after eating too many twinkies. Because pregnancy causes so many changes to both mind and body, a woman is not 100% in control of her thoughts or actions at any given time during pregnancy therefore, she can claim temporary insanity and have it work.
A woman could claim temporary sanity but it would NOT work. If that were true then children should IMMEDIATELY be removed from every woman at the time of birth and not returned until the woman can prove she is sane.
