He's a good liar, that's all.

Oh, I'm not saying that I believe it. I just mean he seems to have a clear 'grasp' of dates and chronology at the moment so if he starts saying, "I forget", "I don't know", "I don't remember", it's going to look extremely sketchy.

There was a lot of horizontal collaboration in Nazi occupied Europe between the local women and the Wehrmacht

So not two years in hospital in one go like it was said before.

He’s spinning his tales. He’s one of those old men who don’t stop talking and go on huge tangents.

Nor was it during a demonstration. Like he told his wife… if any of this happened at all…

This guy likes to create his own questions and then answer them.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Oh what's happening.

He blames females a lot:
His mother had him illegitimately and sent him to orphanage. Then she had two other husbands.
The female horse in heat threw him off and pulverised him.
Marion was keen on men and propositioned him in hotel lobby.
All the other women lied in their statements, including his wife.
His first wife probably cheated on him so 'his' daughter isn't his.
Etc.

And given his history of preying on women and taking everything from them... psychologically speaking... he has issues with women.

Also interesting that he never talks about any men. Going forward, I'll be paying attention to the tone he takes while speaking about different genders.

“Well see it sounds manlier and cooler if I got trampled during a demonstration and not taking a ride through a park.”

"Textbook criminal background. Illegitimacy, abandonment, orphanage, war, family secrets and lies. His mother abandoned him. IMO he truly has no idea who he is. I wish they wouldnt let him tell his story. He's milking this. Cut to the chase!"

I shouldn't agree with you more!

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Two years in hospital. In and out LOL

 

[Passingthru]

Two years in hospital. In and out LOL

Can’t help but wonder how many months of malingering that included.

I wonder if he had some type of attachment disorder.

This case is so off the wall insane that I'm half expecting Marion to just wander into the court at any moment.

Which keeps me going back and forth to my uncertainty that DdeH doesn't really know the whole truth because she has grown up with this oxygen thief....that she believes everything he says to her.
And that most of her recollections are from his lies and manipulating ways.
He is a lying swindling manipulating story teller who has spent his whole life perfecting his skills. These women fell for his stories and I do feel the DdeH turned a blind eye to his BS.

But there is no doubt her testimony was swiss cheese!

If we were expecting him to answers questions in a similar way to his wife, that hasn't eventuated! he has plenty of talking to do (other than the long pauses where he is checking his alibis)
