What’s telling to me is that his girlfriend had the bathroom door locked. If you get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, do you even close the door let alone lock it?

From the great Lindy West:

Also the whole trying to use anxiety disorder as part of his excuse?! I have an anxiety disorder; it doesn't mean I try to kill my roommates when they get back home late at night and startle me.

Yes, his disability affects his balance, not his decision making. The only point of this was to try and gain some sympathy.

It’s a shame, you know? This judge had such a bright judiciary career in front of him, it is just a shame that this one little verdict will mess up his entire future.
