But if police seemed somewhat suspicious of the man — and officers have testified they were — Richmond had a ready answer.
“I have PTSD,” he told Redmond about two minutes into the interview, adding his brain was a bit “scrambled.”
He mentioned his condition about half a dozen times in the first 15 minutes of the interview.

I think he was starting his defence very early on.
That whole offering a piece of her jewelry to the man who found her car is creepy.
I believe he knew about the other man and followed her that night.
I had followed this case closely when M was missing.....I lived in the area at the time and it was big local news. Just catching up on the recent trial.....Howard is claiming PTSD and had no memory of the murder (or apparently following her) until months later? IIRC (and it's been years.....so I could be mis-remembering) but didn't he originally say that M left on her own for a drive (leaving her cell) and he stayed at the house?
That prick wanted her to suffer. He purposefully killed her with her own weapons that he bought her.Andrew Seymour ‏@andrew_seymour 1h1 hour ago
Melissa Richmond had 6 puncture wounds to head, stab wound to the base of neck, pathologist testifies in murder trial of husband
Stab wound to neck cut Melissa Richmond's windpipe in two. This was fatal wound, pathologist says. Death was not instant.
Pathologist testifies Melissa Richmond may have survived for 'several minutes' after fatal stab wound to the neck
I would be interested in hearing about combat training he had.It would be hard to believe, given his background, that he didn't know she would suffer terribly from this wound before dying, and she would have time to realize what was happening. Who knows what he was saying to her at the time. Well, *he* knows.
