[QUOTE]A man standing trial after being accused of robbing a bank in California was likely left with a bad taste in his mouth after an apparent bid to convince the jury he was insane proved unsuccessful.
While he was testifying at San Luis Obispo Superior Court last week, Andrew Gilbertson pulled some feces out of his pants and ate it.
He was on trial for robbing a Bank of America branch in the central California city in 2013.
Gilbertson, 40, was pleading not guilty by reason of insanity and claimed he heard voices in his head, according to the San Luis Obispo Tribune.
His defense attorney, Brian Buckley, apologized after the excrement eating.
Buckley said: 'When I said this was going to be an unusual case, that wasn't what I was expecting.'
Despite his unorthodox attempt to convince the jury he was insane during the robbery, Gilbertson was found guilty of robbery and burglary.
Deputy District Attorney Dave Pomeroy told the jury, who took about half a day to hand down the verdict, that Gilbertson was sane when he robbed the bank and when he ate his poop.
Pomeroy said: 'That was upsetting a couple of days ago.
'Obviously, it was designed to produce emotion.'
He added that Gilbertson showed off his hands during the stunt to 'be sure you all clearly understood what he had in his hand and what he was doing'.
Before he ate his waste, Gilbertson told the jury the Virgin Mary told him to wear a disguise and rob the Bank of America, KSBY reported.
The district attorney argued Gilbertson had a much different reason for pulling off the heist.
Pomeroy said: 'He just wanted methamphetamine.
'He testified that he really, really likes methamphetamine.'
Gilbertson has previous convictions for sexual battery, aggravated battery, failure to register as a sex offender and car theft.
A sentencing date for his latest conviction has not been set

Maybe he had seen this movie before pulling that stunt.

He exploited this misconception to get off the hook.

He put shit in his mouth, chewed and then swallowed. He didn't vomit. He's a mental case.

What people think insane means is not the same as what the courts define it as. Its actually harder to do than you think

You do realise that is exactly what he wanted the judge to think?

He was still able to do it. Pretty crazy if you ask me.

You do realise that he wants the judge to think he's insane so that he gets leniency, and that if you were the judge that his plan would work?

Mental hospitals are pretty fucked up too dude. Mental torture is a bitch.
I worked at a place where they put the criminally insane and it ain't a bad gig
Holy [I]shit![/I]
Very clean facility and great staff the only thing that sucked was the slowness of my states justice system
If you go to a mental hospital to serve a sentence instead of prison, you're basically screwed.
They let you out when they decide they want to let you out. You don't have a predetermined time limit.

I hope he washed his hands afterwards, I think it's disgusting when people don't wash their hands after pooping. Unless he didn't wipe, then it doesn't matter I suppose.
truly the greatest mind of [del]our[/del] some generation
He's not insane, he's just crazy.

He chewed and swallowed. Doubt he did that. I bet he'd love to shake your hand :)

Well then I hope he chewed with his mouth closed because it's disgusting when people chew with their mouth open.
I just want to add that just because he can eat shit and not flinch doesn't mean he's insane
Some people have a fetish for that sort of stuff. Might be really gross but it doesn't make them necessarily ill.
If I knew I was going to prison basically forever I'd eat shit too before I spent a lifetime eating prison dick.

Crazy, yeah, but not legally insane, insanity defence is when you aren't able to tell what you were doing was wrong or weren't in control of yourself.
Well that sure is a shitty situation
