The most unconvincing defence ever

A Muslim extremist attempts to cause carnage in a high-speed train between Amsterdam and Paris but is wrestled down by heroic passengers, foremost among whom were three young Americans. His lawyer claims he was not at all intending a massacre. He was just a poor poor homeless man who had wanted to hold up the passengers of the train to buy food. Yeah, right, he had no food (even though free food is handed out to the homeless by numerous charities), but he did have what looks like new sneakers and an assault rifle and an automatic pistol with 9 full magazines, all of it in a new backpack. Oh, I forgot, he claims he "found" the guns in a park.

This must be the most ridiculous defence ever mounted!
