SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A man accused of bank robbery supported his insanity plea when he ate his own feces while on the witness stand.
Andrew Gilbertson claimed the Virgin Mary told him to do it, according to the Huffington Post. Gilbertson is charged with robbing a San Luis Obispo bank in 2013, which Gilbertson alleges the Virgin Mary also told him to do.
Gilbertson reached into his own pants, removed waste and began eating it while on the stand. Judge Donald Umhofer called for a recess.
A mental health expert later testified that he saw Gilbertson hitting his head to remove voices. Gilbertson has been previously convicted of sexual assault.
