  Innovative defense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Innovative defenses (the invention of which is sometimes called creative lawyering) are relatively new and untried defenses for having committed a criminal act.
Being innovative, there is little or no precedent bearing upon them.
Parodies of innovative defenses are sometimes seen in entertainment, for example the Chewbacca Defense.

 Twinkie defense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This biological defense is a so-called "innovative defense", through which defendants argue that they either should not be held criminally liable for actions which broke the law, or that the criminal liability should be mitigated to a lesser offense (e.g.
This improbable defense was accepted by a jury that had been carefully selected by a skilled defense attorney to contain jurors who would be more sympathetic to Dan White than to Harvey Milk, in particular.
As a result of the White case, diminished capacity was abolished in 1982 by Proposition 8 and the California legislature, and replaced by "diminished actuality," referring not to the capacity to have a specific intent but to whether a defendant actually had a required intent to commit the crime with which he was charged.

 Innovative computer security becomes agency's calling
But the development of a nationwide defense against hackers will take perhaps two decades, said Howard Frank, director of the information technology office at DARPA in Arlington, Va. "This is a 20-year problem," he said.
Defense officials fear that an enemy could use computer viruses, logic bombs and other hacker tools to crash these critical networks during a war or crisis, thus causing more economic damage than could be inflicted by a non-nuclear missile strike, and also crippling U.S. military power.
DARPA's vision of a national computer defense is modeled after the defenses built by biology and society against viruses.

 TESTIMONY BY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Given these considerations, senior Defense Department leaders must begin now to develop and execute a transformation strategy if the U.S. military is to be prepared for the very different kinds of challenges they see confronting the armed forces over the long-term future.
It is important to note that creating such options involve a defense budget "train wreck." Recall that the U.S. military developed the foundation for strategic aerial bombardment, the carrier navy, modern amphibious warfare, and mechanized air-land operations during the relatively lean budget years of the 1920s and 1930s.
Defense firms would have strong incentives to lock in long production runs on these relatively few systems, thereby guaranteeing a steady stream of revenue, and little to encourage wildcatting with their own RandD funds to develop new military systems.

Jack Spencer, a defense analyst with the Heritage Foundation, a think tank here, did not have direct knowledge of the Near Field Infrared Experiment plan, but said any effort to ensure that boost-phase missile interceptors work is important.
The boost phase can be the best opportunity to intercept a missile because it is moving slower than during its mid-flight or terminal phase, and countermeasures such as decoys generally are not an issue, Spencer said.
The study had been due to the committee in March, but was put on hold while the MDA revised its approach to SBIRS Low and missile defense in general, he said.

 TRUTH ON THE MARKET » Nacchio’s Puzzling (Innovative?) Defense (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
An article in today’s W$J reports on former Qwest CEO Joseph Nacchio’s planned defense in a criminal insider trading action brought by the SEC.
Nacchio’s attorneys have said in court that his defense will rest partly on a claim that he expected the company to do well despite its difficulties because he had secret information about classified, national security-related contracts he believed Qwest would win.
In other words, the theory seems to be that the totality of non-public information of which Nacchio was aware would not be something a rational investor would consider important in deciding how to invest (and thus would not be material), for Nacchio’s private negative information was counterbalanced by private positive information.
