Unicorn DUI
A US man claims a unicorn was driving his truck when it crashed.
A deputy prosecutor, who misunderstood an email from a colleague which used the phrase "unicorn defence", believed Phillip C. Holliday Jr. was actually blaming a unicorn for the crash.
However, a unicorn defence is when a defendant blames a mythical person for a crime.
Holliday has actually blamed the crash on an unnamed woman.
County Attorney Dennis Paxinos said: "Mr. Holliday has other serious problems, but this is not one of them. It’s kind of a code between prosecutors and it was misinterpreted.
I apologise to the public, the court and to Mr. Holliday for the confusion." Holliday has pleaded not guilty to felony charges of criminal endangerment and drunken driving.
