Former teacher to use insanity plea against charges of sex with student
I think of all the education that I missed.
But then my homework was never quite like this.
Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad,
I’m hot for teacher.
I got it bad, so bad,
I’m hot for teacher.

To the shock of absolutely no one, former DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener Debra Lafave has decided that sleeping with a 14-year-old boy really DOES qualify for an insanity plea…as in “WHAT IN THE HELL WAS I THINKING???”
If you make a habit of boinking a junior-high school kid, what other option do you have BUT to plead insanity?
TAMPA - When a young Hillsborough County teacher was accused this summer of having a sexual affair with a 14-year-old student, many people’s first reaction to the notorious case was, ‘She’s crazy.’ Tuesday, Debra Lafave’s attorney announced that his client would indeed be using an insanity defense.
Lafave, 24, is facing charges of lewd and lascivious behavior, stemming from accusations that the former Greco Middle School teacher had sex with the student both at school and in a car driven by the student’s cousin in Ocala….
One factor the defense might use to invoke an insanity defense is the recent trauma Lafave’s family has been through. Her pregnant sister was killed in a high-profile drunk driving accident three years ago, and Lafave was in court for that trial alongside the rest of her family, who also turned out for Tuesday’s hearing.
Her soon-to-be former husband, Owen Lafave, was not there, however. Owen filed for divorce in August and told Action News previously that the case has been like “living a nightmare” for him.
Gee, you think? Your wife prefers greasing the pole of a 14-year-old boy…could it be anything except a nightmare for him? I think I’d leave the state, change my name, and go on the Haagen-Dazs diet.
Meanwhile, the 14-year-old boy is going to have some stories to tell his grandkids, eh??
