Chicago, IL | A man suspected of killing 12 people and eating their
corpses is victim to a �rare eating disorder� according to his lawyer and
cannot fully be blamed for his actions.

Jason Hicks who was apprehended this week with 320 kilos of human meat in
his freezer raised the suspicion of local authorities after the
disappearance of several delivery men working in the area in the past
month.

Hicks is also believed to be behind the disappearance of two young
paperboys, three mail carriers, several delivery men and two of his ex-
girlfriends.

�My client suffers from a rare eating disorder. His craving for human
blood and flesh is uncontrollable,� his lawyer argued, claiming his client
needed psychological help.

Jason Vernon Hicks who was forced to wear a facial shield in court after
trying to bite several law enforcement agents admitted in court his modus
operandi was to prey on delivery men.

�I first realized that the food they would bring me was far less
appetizing than the delivery men themselves,� he told judge Brown in
court, visibly unmoved by the fate of his victims.

�I would just order takeout but half of the time I would end up eating the
delivery men instead,� he added.

According to legal experts, Jason Vernon Hicks could face multiple life
sentences for murder but will not be charged for cannibalism, as no law
officially prohibits the practice in the United States.
