You gotta be kidding me. This has to be the worst defense any attorney ever spouted off prior to a trial I have ever heard.
Oh yeah, and he claims DNA evidence is "junk science".
I have to remember this attorney's name so I never contact him to represent me in any legal action.
PIZZA THUG: Lawyer Says the D.C. Mansion Killer Couldn’t Have Done It for THIS Ridiculous Reason
Posted on June 1, 2015
Is this really his defense? Good luck using that in court and facing up against actual facts and evidence. Besides, who in the world doesn’t like pizza?!
The former lawyer of D.C. quadruple murder suspect Daron Dylon Wint claimed over the weekend that the 34-year-old couldn’t possibly have committed the grisly killings because… he doesn’t like pizza. Appearing on Fox & Friends on Monday morning, that lawyer — Robin Ficker — battled Kimberly Guilfoyle over that extraordinary claim.
…
In this debate, Ficker maintained that DNA evidence is “junk science,” and that the traces of Wint’s DNA found on pizza crust in the Savopoulos home indicate nothing about whether Wint was present during the killings.
“[Wint’s] mother doesn’t like pizza, his sister doesn’t like pizza, his brother doesn’t like pizza,” Ficker told Guilfoyle. “He’s got five sisters, three brothers, they’re from Guyana. There’s no Papa Johns. It’s a British-speaking country in South America. It has 750,000 people. It’s the size of Kansas. They don’t have pizza there.”

You can't make up stuff like this. Are you sure this wasn't part of a SNL skit?

Apparently it's for real. Kewpie doll Kimberly, one of Fox "news" many "legal analysts" one time Victoria's Secret model full time cast member of The Five twice divorced one time lawyer has been bragging about her incisive questioning of this dohwad lawyer. Boy . . . Talk about Gotcha journalism.
Anyhow, I'm no fan of Papa Johns pizza, but I hope no Supreme Court decision evolves from this case that would exempt carry out pizza haters from being convicted of a crime. But with justices like Scalia, Alito, Thomas (somebody wake up Clarence), and Roberts -- you never know.
