Woman Uses Sex Act As Manslaughter Defense

MIDDLETOWN, Connecticut (AP) -- A woman charged with causing a fatal car crash in 1999 says that she couldn't have been behind the wheel because she was performing a sex act on the driver at the time.

Heather Specyalski, 33, was charged with second-degree manslaughter in the crash that killed businessman Neil Esposito. Prosecutors allege that she was driving Esposito's Mercedes-Benz convertible when it veered off the road and hit several trees.

But Specyalski claims that Esposito was driving, and she was performing oral sex on him at the time, said her attorney, Jeremiah Donovan. He noted that Esposito's pants were down when he was thrown from the car.

Superior Court Judge Robert L. Holzberg ruled Tuesday that Specyalski can proceed with the defense, despite objections by the prosecutor.

"A defendant has a right to offer a defense no matter how outlandish, silly or unbelievable one might think it will be," Holzberg said. He added: "No one ever told me in law school that we'd be having these kinds of conversations in open court."

Assistant State's Attorney Maureen Platt said the defense is flawed.

"His pants could have been down because he was mooning a car he was drag racing," Platt said. "His pants could have been down because he was urinating out of a window. His pants could have been down because he wasn't feeling well."

Also Tuesday, Holzberg denied Donovan's motion to use gender as grounds to eliminate jurors. Donovan had argued that women would be biased and more likely to convict.

If someone offered you 'service' while you were driving, would you accept it?

Haha, classic...

And sure, I'd accept some road head...I'd just drive down some long country road where we could take things slow.

"His pants could have been down because he was mooning a car he was drag racing," Platt said. "His pants could have been down because he was urinating out of a window. His pants could have been down because he wasn't feeling well."

Why in the blue hell would you be doing those things...WHILE DRIVING. I dont see how someone can urinate out a window but yet keep perfect control of the car. Lawyers are stupid (even though we all know that)

Well duh that's the whole point! The question here is: who drove the car? The man that was getting a blow-job, or the woman while the man was pieing out of the window??

And no, sex behind the wheel is dangerous!

Come now, let's not let your homosexuality get the best of this thread. He has the right to his opinion.

When taboos become norms we compromise morality for democracy. Sooner or later, insest will be accepted if it's safe sex (wouldn't want a disformed child born); Pedophelia will be accepted if both the kid and the parent of the kid write a letter; Necrophelia will be fine if the deceased gave their body away in the will to their lover; Not even beastiality will be a problem.

What makes homosexuality different?

And no Dylflon, I'm not "bashing you", I'm commenting on the general idea. It would not matter if it was posted by you. But I will take note that you did post it.
