I imagine that the competency testing was ordered because her defense team CANNOT WORK WITH HER.
Think about it. She's in jail, separated from AN AUDIENCE, all she has is all that time IN HER HEAD. We got a small sense of what it's like in there from her interviews. G had the key, the gate, cut his foot, because Albert's tools, because flower box, and bandaging on the side of the car, good to go.
And Eguardo and Kleenex in her knickers and her constantly violating constitutional rights. Atrocious grammar. Broomsticks and peanut butter.
I imagine that, when her attorneys TRY to talk to her, she instead tries to do all the talking. How can they create a defense or even advise her of what to expect if they can't get a word in edgewise?
I think she wants to fire them because SHE doesn't want to hear ANYTHING they have to say. I think SHE THINKS she's been misunderstood, and once everybody realizes Eguardo did all this and she was just a loving parent loving, she'll get that apology. I don't think she is CAPABLE of understanding the brevity of what she's done, only what she PERCEIVES as having been done to her.
Talk about an IMPOSSIBLE client.
My guess, she wants to take the stand. So she can say nearly a year's worth of saved up dialogue. No defense would allow that! Because it would open her up to cross examination by the prosecution! I'm betting that every time her defense team tells her why it'd be A VERY BAD IDEA for her to take the stand, she tells them that she has constitutional rights! Which of course she does -- it's surely in her best interest to say as little as possible, to let her attorneys speak for her! She just can't not talk!!!
If her attorneys could say so, I imagine what they're thinking is, "can someone please muzzle her so we can tell her what she needs to know and do so that she can have the fairest trial?" That's their job!!!! Which IMO SHE'S not letting them do!!
Too busy talking about mean peanut butter messages.
She makes Jodi Arias sound sensible.
