Stephen Coffeen: 'Red Bull Killer' not guilty by reason of insanity, will receive no jail time
Clearwater, Florida -- A man who admits he killed his own father will see no jail time after a judge found him not guilty by reason of insanity.

An expert has said drinking Red Bull was one of the things that led to the crime.

Stephen Coffeen admits he smothered his father Robert with a couch cushion two years ago. He originally claimed was he was defending himself.

His defense on Wednesday was temporary insanity.

And on Wednesday, Judge Nancy Moate Ley accepted a deal worked out between his lawyers and the State Attorney's Office. Under the deal, in six months, Stephen Coffeen could go free.

1. Sound out "Coffeen"
Sounds a lot like "caffeine".

Which is exactly what Red Bull is full of.

What does this mean? How far does this conspiracy go?

2. You'll never see scientific testimony on that crap.
Not in the Good Ol' USofA, anyway.

There have been several studies re: energy drinks and their potential to increase stroke risks and to re-wire one's brain's circuitry.

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=energy+drinks+stroke&cp=17&qe=ZW5lcmd5IGRyaW5rcyBzdHI&qesig=gTBOi6JcMWVhVEYDZFTTuA&pkc=AFgZ2tkDhZ9p8jWuL6_KNXTQGcaXsyq2Y2QMQ0-l0wDNn1wgfuw7WI71r3s4ut3lVZr2zCCuwsWm7Zu19zziHYKNHENs_N7HSg&pf=p&sclient=psy&biw=1253&bih=604&source=hp&aq=0&aqi=&aql=&oq=energy+drinks+str&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=711da0863f755a

But you won't see these results used in a US court of law. Not as long as Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, General Foods, Kraft, etc., are calling the shots.

I cannot believe people consume that crap.
