No, but Dylan is said to be 'slow' mentally. Some early articles I saw recently said he could barely read.
So I saw some of these same articles I am sure where in court, a couple folks coming forward saying he was mentally slow and could barely read.
My thought is, I would need a specialist in court to testify to his brain capabilities, IQ, and ability to make decisions.
Because those people who "stood up for him saying he was slow" were his mother and Miller - was he an attorney quoted? (who I don't know the relation or expertise in determining that.)
There are also folks in the community who have said "it's a load of crap" that he is slow....he may not be the brightest bulb in the bunch, but there is nothing "special needs" about him.
To me, until you get a doctor or medical professional to examine him and say so, all of it may be a bit of hearsay both ways.
It would also be good for that same professional to testify to his reading abilities.
I hesitate to say that someone who can't read can't make a decision between what is right and wrong. There are people who are street smart but uneducated and didn't learn to read or read well. And they should still be held accountable for their actions.
If he cannot read though, which is likely the concern to the question of what he may have signed off on by TBI, he may not have understood, and him being coerced to sign something he cannot read or understand should absolutely be known.
From what has been inferred, even if he is not special needs specifically, I still personally feel for him and it sounds like Zach practically raised him which in itself is abuse.
He is tough for me for sure. By default, you don't want him out on the streets either, but man, I may be soft and biased, but you just want to give him a lot of therapy.
