Caffeine overdose made me a killer, claims wife strangler

A HUSBAND accused of strangling his wife claims too much caffeine from canned drinks and diet pills caused him to lose control.

Woody Will Smith, 33, is due for trial accused of murdering Amanda Hornsby-Smith, 28, in Kentucky.

His lawyer Shannon Sexton will argue Smith had so much caffeine in the days leading up to the killing that it rendered him temporarily insane – unable even to form the intent of committing a crime.
