Defense attorney: steroids caused “roid rage” that led to murder

Audrey Allen, an 18-month old child, was murdered by Joshua Allen Kruzik.
The little girl was killed because she cried in the middle of the night. Joshua Allen Kruzik, an US marine, a friend of Audrey Allen’s parents, decided to spend weekends at their friends’ home. Before he came to their home, he was at a local bar where he drank much alcohol. He had to care about the little girl, when she cried. But Joshua Allen Kruzik beat her too cruelly. As a result, the baby got a lot of grave head injuries. The baby died at a local hospital.
David Kohn, the defense attorney for Joshua Allen Kruzik, affirmed that steroids were responsible for the abnormal behavior of his client. It was confirmed that Joshua Allen Kruzik used anabolic steroids. Before the incident he tried to discontinue using these preparations but he couldn’t do it. The defense attorney claimed that anabolic steroids produced “roid rage” in Joshua Allen Kruzik. He couldn’t not control himself and beat the little child. According to David Kohn, Kruzik was unconscious. Although he claimed that Kruzik was ready to assume the whole responsibility, he added that he was not guilty.
The little child’s parents also testified that the murderer used anabolic steroids. The mother of the baby affirmed that she had syringes at her home. Thus, she injected Kruzik with steroids, when he came. Certain other individuals also affirmed that he administered steroids.
It is strange that anabolic steroids are demonized in this case. Are these medicines responsible for the crime? Don’t forget that Kruzen has been drunk, when he has murdered the baby!
It is unclear whether this defense strategy will work.
