15 min break

IMO, this forensic psychologist has said little to benefit JS case. She appears bumbling. The DT clearly is not invested in the case and their expert witness is pathetic....IMO.

That term (and theory) had its start in the seventies. To me, it's just a euphemism for getting drunk and high.

"You are self medicating, which is bad. Here, take these pills instead!"

Ah that explains it since I was a child of the 60s, 70s and 80s and missed the new term. :floorlaugh:

she appears to be a stumbling block

Dr. S: she told me she never even thought about whether it was legal to kill her children, she was just thinking about her plan to go to heaven, to take her children to heaven.

She actually said that Beau would be going to heaven with her, not Calyx.
If I am remembering correctly, but now, this doc is saying both children to heaven.

Compassion!
We need more of it for the sick and suffering.

Compassion, YES! Excuses, NO!

There are times when my DH gets very frustrated with me, my response is, and I have used it for others "do you think if given the choice, I would choose to have these issues?" As in illness, disorder, what ever word you want to use for it. No one would ever choose MI given the opportunity, just like cancer or diabetes. It sucks. Not that I don't get frustrated with myself or others too!

I agree! The defense ask questions in such a random order that this witness can't keep up with where they are at. She is not too quick in her thinking.

I am not sure that JS has a very good DT at all.

Couldn't that get her a new trial on appeal if she is convicted?

Is court in lunch recess? Thanks

That's your opinion, which you are entitled to.
However the evidence shows the defendant suffers from MI and addiction. Why not be as fair to her as you would to someone suffering from cancer? There is enough evidence to prove she could have been legally insane when she killed the kids. I don't expect you to change you opinion but am begging for more compassion and fairness.

I am having a very hard time erasing the images of two kids, with their whole lives ahead of them, shot in their mouths and killed. Where was the compassion and fairness from their own mother? How shallow is a mother's love to stop when the child is no longer pliable and cuddly? Did JS hate that her children saw her feet of clay? Did JS refuse to tolerate any rebellious behavior from her teenage kids?

Was JS insane with rage? I don't know but I believe rage rather than insanity was the governing issue.

:seeya: Jewels. Seems to me me their goal is only to make sure she has a fair trial. That alone is a pretty big mountain to climb, with all things considered.

No--just a 15-minute break.

I would think so, if they can prove ineffective counsel.
