Since this case began, there have been several cases with some of the elements.
The one that comes to mind mostly is Shirilla, who drove her car at 100 mph into a wall. Similar video to the one in this case. Most of the trial wasn't live-streamed, but the judge's comments at sentencing were withering. This was a bench trial.
Then, there's Sydney Powell who stabbed her mother, Brenda Powell, to death. Fascinating case this, including all the malingering behavior, hair a mess during trial, dumpy clothes....deliberately trying to look crazy. Her defense was that she had a) a psychotic episode, and b) momentary schizophrenia. The definitive expert against this hogwash (prosecution) testified that it's not possible to have a psychotic episode, and at the same time making executive decisions. Sydney's family (including Brenda's mother, who, yep sold her daughter up the river) wanted her not to be prosecuted on the grounds that Brenda (though dead) wouldn't have wanted it, and the family had "been through enough". Defense requested prosecution's therapy dog to be at Sydney's feet during the entire trial (um, no). Guilty, very quick verdict.
Also in Sydney's case, an unrealistic attachment to status that was not real. She kept going to university even though she'd flunked out.
IMO much of Linton's life will prove to be fantasy-based, including her dead "boyfriend".
And there's the new case of a woman crashing through a building and driving into a children's party and claiming she was having a seizure. IMO it was the kind of "seizure" when you're over the top drunk and a known lush. Chidester.
Powell and Chidester were both on bond.
IMO these 3 cases shed some light on how Linton's case might be handled.
