Lamest criminal defense of 2007

Last winter four people were shot in a home in rural Waseca. The suspect in the case claimed that when the four victims were shot, each of the four times, the gun went off accidentally. I used to think that was the most unbelievable defense I had heard during the year. Now I heard an even more unbelievable defense in a case in the Twin Cities. A woman was murdered and her body was burned in an abandoned vehicle. The suspect in the case claimed he found her body in a closet. He didn’t kill her. Someone else did. However, he took her body out of the closet and put it in a vehicle. Then he drove the vehicle to an alley and left it there, he said. He didn’t torch the car. Someone else did. I can’t imagine why the suspect would think anyone will believe a random pedestrian would find a body in a car, not call the police, and light it on fire. This has to be the most lame criminal defense for 2007.
