The "Twinkie defense" is a term that originated from Dan White's trial for the murder of Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone. White's defense argued that his consumption of junk food, such as Twinkies, was a symptom of his depression, which contributed to his diminished capacity and led to the killings. This argument was part of a broader strategy to demonstrate that White was not fully responsible for his actions due to his mental state.
