CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, found deceased, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *Arrest* #64

Everything she said was tied to television or movies. Lol Anyone wonder what her IQ Is?

No, but it's probably in the range of the number of channels on my childhood TV.

Yes, the defense found the one person in the universe who might give them a semi-favorable report.

I feel the same way.

 

[GRT]

I really don't like this witness much.

She seems to undermine her own testimony by citing conditions Tee might have but that they don't rise to the level of being diagnosed. To me, that could give a jury reasonable doubt.

Trying to catch what Dr. Torres said, so some of this is filled in with my own words.

Anyone who watched tv and have seen something about DID they could report symptoms connected to what they think how it would present. However, it's more subtle. The multiple personalities can't be controlled. The people who do suffer from it are often ashamed, they don't enjoy having this condition. Ms. Stauch doesn't seem to be disturbed by having these other personalities.

She or Dr. Gray's opinion didn't change, the symptoms that Ms. Stauch was reporting seemed to increase as time went on and Dr. Lewis came into the picture.

..​

Borderline with Narcissistic features, and Anxiety Disorder. They wanted to give credence to the abuse she self-reported.

If you do not find a mental disease or defect then insanity is not to be considered usually. If both don't appear, and the person knows right from wrong, then insanity isn't considered.

We are looking at what it means for a person to be conscious when an event happens. We're looking at what could be the intent, knowingly, an awareness. Awake, conscious, know what's going on. Attorney stops her there to go elsewhere in questioning.

I really don't like this witness much.

I think she's ok. The good thing about her is that she is independent; and the great thing is that she did the evaluation for the court and *decided* LS wasn't insane. And she isn't saying anything that the defence can pounce on in cross.

Oopsie. Insanity ain’t gonna fly! Party over T. Pack it in.

 

[Megnut]

This testimony has been tedious but perhaps it goes to the witness' credit that she is slow, methodical.

Sort of like a CPA, doing an audit of T's mental health/sanity.

Scored it carefully and, not only does T not meet the thresholds, all of T's rambling is explainable by T's access to TV, the diagnostic manual, etc.

Sorry, T, you did pass with flying colors. Just not the way you thought you did.

Sane.

Your made-up characters aren't credible.

I wonder how they got to and from Alaska? I guess not driving!

Dr. Torres says in Ms. Stauch was sane at the time of the crime. She had no impacting mental illness or defect to understand reality, or to make judgements, even pertaining to after the shooting. She's not lacking in the thought process to form intent. ​

 

[Ontario Mom]

It’s like someone asking for EYEtalian salad dressing.

Lol

lol, my gma pronounced it that way.
She also said pee-can for pecan so, there's that.
I guess maybe it's a regional thing? I've just never heard it pronounced that way.

 

[Cindizzi]

Boom there it is

[iamshadow21]

Is he trying to prove they gave LS adequate defense?

 

[Kiranerys]

Is he serious right now?

 

[Megnut]

No. Just no. Defense is trying to suggest that these professionals threw the case because there aren't state beds available.

What an insult.

[Megnut]

They are trying hard to impeach this witness. Because they don't like her findings.

 

[iamshadow21]

LOL, she gave him a massive book to read for homework.
