What is a "TWINKIE"?
Answers:
Hello again,
Well, by now you obviously know what a "Twinkie" is. Personally, I didn't care for them as a kid and don't like them now. However, I thought you might like to read up on an interesting off-shoot of the legendary Twinkie. It's called the Diminished Capacity Defense (aka The Twinkie Defense). Check out this website for a really amazing tactic by a lawyer.
