The language reflects issues of negativity and misunderstanding happening at that time.

“Rule #17: Don’t be a hero” says Columbus in the film Zombieland. But little does he know how wrong about this he is, as he will be the one to break his own rule.

circumstances are enough to change the conviction? Precedents are continually being set as new mental conditions are discovered or gain new validity, so we must be able to discern the difference between defenses that are legitimate, and the Twinkie defenses. Twinkie defenses are those, which carry no reasonable justification for diminishing the mental capacity of the defendant.
