Starbucks and steroids contributed to Franklin County slaying, lawyer says……
ROCKY MOUNT, Va. (AP)—The lawyer for a Franklin County man who admitted killing his wife says the defendant’s steroid abuse and coffee addiction contributed to the slaying.

Philip Kingery pleaded guilty Wednesday in Franklin County Circuit Court to second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of his wife Rose. He also pleaded guilty to use of a firearm in commission of a felony.

Defense attorney Tony Anderson said Kingery had “diminished capacity” at the time of the slaying last year because of steroid abuse and an addiction to coffee, particularly Starbucks coffee.
