My only regret was not being able to post this before Wired. It is a combination of Apple, Criminal Defense, and one of the goofiest iPod accessories ever made. You can read the full post from Nicole Martinelli here.

During what has been hypothesized was some sort of late-night Halloween sex game where the 21-year-old Kercher was an unwilling participant, Guede maintains he was in the bathroom of the young women’s apartment.While she was being killed with a knife, he was listening to music on iCarta, a toilet paper holder roll that doubles as an iPod dock. Guede’s lawyers tried to head off what they thought might be viewed as a sort of Twinkie defense for the digital age in a statement to Italian media (below translation mine):

“It is nothing more than a confirmation of how some abnormal behaviors are apparently normal among young people today,” said laywers Valter Biscotti and Nicodemo Gentile. “Just as Facebook is their virtual world, they now listen to music everywhere, even in the bathroom. The marketing of such products implies a certain routine use.”
