The panel rejected the findings of four psychological experts who concluded that Le was insane at the time of the Sept. 16, 2009, attacks. Three of those experts testified in the sanity phase of her trial.
Deputy District Attorney John Christl said the defendants statements on the day of the crime provided better evidence than the doctors opinions. Le told investigators that her live-in boyfriend wanted to leave her and she believed he didnt love their children, Christl said.
It was an angry act, a selfish act, the prosecutor said. She said he was not listening to her needs or wants.
The psychological experts said Le suffered from a variety of maladies such as schizophrenia, delusions, paranoia and breaks with reality, Christl said...
She thought her kids had been switched out. She didnt know if they were her kids, he told jurors. She didnt know who or what Robert was
She thought Robert was able to read her thoughts and was torturing her mentally.
Le also erroneously thought the FBI was after her; that she was being chased by gangsters; and that the rental home in Garden Grove where the family was living was haunted and that there was a demon curse on it, Vining said.
When a physician prescribed medicine for her, she did not take it because she was afraid they were trying to poison her, Vining said.
