Internet Intoxication As A Legal Defense?
from the time-to-throw-up dept
A lawyer is thinking of using "internet intoxication" as a legal defense in a case of a teenaged guy threatening someone in a chat room. The claim is that the guy was so "intoxicated" by the internet, he thought it was all virtual. It wasn't a real threat, it was a "virtual threat". Yeah, I'm sure that's a winning strategy.
