Being up all night for one night is not mania. It's insomnia.

(And especially if you're using you're kid's medication to stay up, that is not mania, which I think has been a suspicion thrown around on here.)

MOO
 
Closing arguments in the murder trial for #LeteciaStauch from defense are underway.

Josh Tolini began with, “the one thing they cannot answer is motive. Motive of how we can go from this picture on the hike at Garden of the Gods, loving and kind, to less than 24 hours, 18 stab wounds, four blunt force trauma injuries, and shot.”

“This wasn’t a preplanned, calculated killing for some game. This was a psychotic break fueled by rage, attacking a demon from the past,” said Tolini. “This was not pre-mediated murder. This was a psychotic break. That is the only thing that makes sense.”

Tolini said this was the biggest investigation in the history ever of El Paso County, and no family members ever said anything bad about Letecia and Gannon’s relationship.

 
"That is the only rational explanation."

News flash, people kill people for irrational reasons all the time. Doesn't make them legally insane.

MOO
Hell, people in general do irrational things all the time, and it doesn’t make them insane. We tend to act on our emotions, and emotions don’t always make sense.

she’s just emotionally unstable and narcissistic

IMO
 
Now defense is up. Josh Tolini is presenting closing arguments for defense.

Tolini: "There is no answer of motive"...how we can go from a hike on Garden of the Gods, loving kind to rage." Tonlini calls the killing "psychotic rage" brought up by what's happened in her past.

"This is not premeditated murder, this is a psychotic break. That is the only thing that makes sense”.

Tolini says based upon Al's relationship with Letecia and how she treated Gannon, he felt comfortable enough to leave his kids with her when he left for military training in Oklahoma.

Tolini repeats that mental illness from her past got triggered and there was temporary period of psychosis. "There's no rational basis for the murder besides psychosis.'

Tolini: "Somehow that fire set off some type of trigger, maybe some type of trigger that had been disassociated long ago but we have her melt down right after the fire.”

Tolini talks about how in the video with the candle incident, Letecia says she's freaked out and she says they'll have to sell the sofa. "That makes no sense whatsoever."

Brings up at 4:36 am on the morning of alleged murder, how Letecia calls out from work by saying her step father dies. Tolini said the step father is who traumatized her. He points to her texts that she's manic because she's up the entire night not sleeping.

Tolini: "Something is going on in her mind, something is there loosing it and something horrible goes on in the basement where there is a brutal, brutal attack.”

Tolini says how brutal the attack on Gannon is shows that there's a mental break.

Tolini: "What is going on her head, we don't know"

Tolini: "What is going on her head, we don't know"
