The Insanity Plea is Alive and Kicking
Out on Colorado, a 53-year-old woman was found not guilty, by reason of insanity, for stabbing her 21-month-old granddaughter to death.
And why did she do it?
Because she received spiritual messages from geese, of course. Carol Lynn Papas and her son apparently received the summons to kill from geese flying over their house at the time. She had called 911 and stated, “I flipped … the baby was crying and I couldn’t handle it.” When police arrived, Pappas was still holding the phone, as well as an 8-inch knife.
Geese, huh? I’m not so sure about spiritual messages, but I could sort of see it if she had been watching hours and hours of AFLAC commercials, which of course is enough to drive anyone to murder.
She has been sentences to a mental facility, where she may just remain for the rest of her days.

I thought the AFLAC commercials had a duck...
and the picture above has a duck too.
Oh well, I guess the ducks are in on this conspiracy.
