Parkway shooting suspect Ralph Leon Jackson attributes “foggy” state to male enhancement pills

In several reports, shooting suspect Ralph Leon Jackson allegedly told Floyd that he was attacking because he was "crazy"

Earlier this week, 18-year-old Christina Floyd detailed the April 5 shooting on the Blue Ridge Parkway that left her hospitalized with a fractured skull and gunshot wounds, and resulted in the death of 27-year-old Charlottesville resident Tim Davis. In several reports, shooting suspect Ralph Leon Jackson allegedly told Floyd that he was attacking because he was "crazy." NBC29 reports that, in a recently filed search warrant, Jackson attributes his "fuzzy" and "foggy" mental state to male enhancement medication.

So, let’s take a look at side effects. Viagra’s common side effects include "headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach," and, "less commonly, bluish vision, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light may briefly occur." Levitra lists a few of the same, and adds "ringing in the ears" and "dizziness," and Cialis follows suit. (HowStuffWorks.com explains a bit of the chemistry behind the drugs, each considered a PDE5 inhibitor.)

Then again, some might simply call it a "Twinkie defense."
