Robert Stocker, 22, had plead- ed not guilty. Before the verdict, he told the court that on the day of his wife's death she gave him a cup of coffee which looked very strong. There was a piece of paper floating in it, he said, -- Afterwards he saw his wife lying on her back with what ap- peared to be a green crocodile 'with a mauve pink belly lying on top of her, Stocker said. "It seemed to blend in with my wife as it was crushing it- self into her. I tried to kill it with a pickle jar." Stocker's lawyer submitted his client unwittingly had taken LSD with his coffee.
