Jury Rejects Caffeine Claims...Finds Man Guilty
KENTUCKY....
A jury deliberated about 1 1/2 hours Friday before convicting Woody Will Smith in the May 2009 strangulation of his wife, Amanda Hornsby-Smith. Attorney Shannon Sexton had told jurors Smith did not kill his wife, but that excessive caffeine from sodas, energy drinks and diet pills left him so sleep deprived and mentally unstable that he had falsely confessed to police, but the jury rejected the defense claims. Prosecutors said Smith attacked his wife during a fight. The jury also recommended a life sentence. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for October 20th.
