دفع المدعى عليه بوقوعه تحت تأثير الاضطراب العقلي نتيجة تناول وجبة سريعة غنية بالسكريات


Explanation:
دفع المدعى عليه في جريمة جنائية بأنه كان وقت ارتكابه للجريمة واقعاً تحت تأثير تناول كمية مفرطة من كيك التوينكيز مما يتسبب في انخفاض قدرته العقلية.وهذ الادعاء يؤيده الطبيب النفسي مما يخفف من الحكم على المدعى عليه.
