Item Description
Pair of 2.25” buttons. See previous item. At White’s trial, a forensic psychiatrist testified White was suffering from depression and pointed to the fact that he had gone from being very health conscious to consuming sugary foods and drinks – thus the legal shorthand term “Twinkie Defense” was born. One of these buttons reads “Eat A Twinkie./Beat The Wrap/If You’re A White, Anglo, Heterosexual, Male Ex-Cop.” This has a little grayish tone on the bkg. as made and not actual stain. Second button reads “If You’re White, It’s Not Murder.” Both of these are from the Levin Collection with his inked notations on the reverse. Comes with Hake’s COA.
