Joe, sorry I couldn't respond sooner but I was just checking the law books and I noticed that addiction was not an affirmative defense to the crime of drug possession. Perhaps if someone was holding a gun to one's head and forcing them to purchase drugs that might be a defense. However, I don't think anyone had a gun to Scott's head when he was putting two roosters into a ring and drooling in happiness as they ripped each other to bits.

Time for a nap, ok?
