This American criminal has been sentenced to 60 years in prison after giving the worst excuse we’ve ever heard

"Homer? Who is 'Homer'?"

Oldest trick in the book.

Steven Felton from Pennsylvania has been sentenced to 62 years in prison after his hilariously dreadful excuse failed to fool the jury.

Felton, who acted as his own attorney, claimed that the ten heists of which he was accused were actually committed by his evil twin.

Reports also suggest that Felton, 34, interrupted court proceedings by bursting into a fit of giggles while being tried and protested the verdict by shouting things like “freedom of speech”.

The criminal was apparently caught on CCTV repeatedly committing armed robberies without so much as a mask, terrorising many shop owners. Which bodes very poorly if his story is true and his evil twin is still on the loose.
