N. American GLBTQI rights activists are congratulating each other on the successful defeat of the Gay/Trans Panic Defense in the Angie Zapata case
Gee, I hope they don't strain their arms patting themselves on the back or anything. Look, the GLBTQIect Activists did exactly Zero, Zilch, NADA - to defeat the panic defense, but rather, the DA did an outstanding job of pulling the rug out from under the argument. And its not like its worked outstandingly before.
Sure, you can tell the cops "Hey, Those are not my drugs in the car, I don't know how they got there officer." I'm sure its done a thousand times a day in the United States. I'm also pretty sure those people still get read their rights.
