Jury deliberates fate of Georgia teen charged with murder [View All]

[kweerwolf]

A Clayton County, Ga., jury was expected to continue deliberations today in the case of a teen accused of bludgeoning and strangling to death his best friend with a video game cord after he claimed the friend demanded sex from him.

Adrian Mitchell Taylor, 19, is charged with felony murder in the Oct. 14, 2004, death of Joshua Layne Cook, 23. The two had been friends since they were young boys.

Taylor, claiming insanity as a defense, said he killed his friend only after he said Cook propositioned him for oral sex by pulling down his boxer shorts and demanding Taylor to "suck my dick" in the early morning hours of Oct. 14. The two had been playing video games and shared a marijuana joint.

That alleged sexual advance triggered Taylor to recall the time he was sexually molested by an adult male when he was eight and induced him to act out violently against Cook, according to court testimony.

Yet another attempt to legitimize the "gay panic defense."

If it works, then maybe all of us who have suffered abuse at the hands of the fundies are justified in blowing the assholes away any time they launch into one of their "homo-seck-shuls are abomination" rants.
