From the Boston Herald comes this story of a Tewksbury man proclaiming his innocence in the murder of his pregnant ex-girlfriend 11 years ago.

OK, guilty or not, if you're a suspect in the beating death of an ex-girlfriend who had a restraining order issued against you, would your defense include this brilliant statement?

"Every girl I've gone out with has put a restraining order against me," said the chain-smoking Stanichuk, who denied beating Bates.

Well spoken, sir.
