Nancy Grace is reporting that Casey herself claimed that she was mentally ill and needed to be evaluated.
That's just wrong, isn't it? It was the defense attorneys who requested the evaluation, right?
How can Nancy just make stuff up like this?

niner the reports of the three experts who examined ICA are under seal, we will not get to see them. Sorry, the Motion and the order are all we get at this point.
Ummm yeah. This was out of nowhere... she's been evaluated before. Now the defense about 3/4 of the way through this fiasco wants to pull this? We need to pass some new laws. Maybe tie attorneys in to the amount of money they waste with this game-playing nonsense. They had their chance to go the fake mental illness route imo.
A lot of the TH's are saying the same thing. The reason they had her evaluated is because she wanted to testify, they didn't agree with it, & since this is a DP case, they had to cover their azz....and, they find her competent...which is why she was so happy today...she got her way!
That was my thought too! That video of her showed her baring her teeth like a wolf at JB- she was enraged, until he turned and looked at her, then she had to hide her expression.
I am so with you on this. The amount of resources - time, money, man hours, space, inconvenience to innocent bystanders, spent on this trial, one trial for one defendant (ONE SINGLE person) in a a state of how many millions of people, in a country of hundreds of millions is mind boggling. Private enterprises have to scrimp and save and cut corners and layoff employees. Schools are starved for money. Policing is cut back. Governments are scrambling and individuals are pinching pennies and making sacrifices left and right. Yet, there seems to be no end to what is shelled out to defend this woman. It's obscene. Three years!? And it doesn't seem to be enough. The defense still stalls and spurts and delays and obfuscates. Why would 2 years not have been enough? One? Why does she need at least, by my count, 6 lawyers and countless "experts?" LKB keeps saying, but, but , but they are trying to take her life!!! Yes, and she is entitled to a decent defense , not the moon, not all the resources in FL, not nearly as many as she's gotten. There has to be some balance...taking into account the rights of others, as well as hers, taking into account the potential for better alternate use of resources. KC's rights should matter, but so should those off all the citizens of FL and the US.Ummm yeah. This was out of nowhere... she's been evaluated before. Now the defense about 3/4 of the way through this fiasco wants to pull this? We need to pass some new laws. Maybe tie attorneys in to the amount of money they waste with this game-playing nonsense.

These stills from the other thread capture it even better...
I am assuming ICA did this when the Jury was out ...
Too bad they didn't get to see the "real" ICA ...
I wrote a very detailed observation of the player reactions on Saturday in the Sidebar thread. I'm convinced the way this ball started rolling was a combination of JB not delivering on his "promises" to ICA, CM being fed up with the way JB is running the show and ICA being well... being ICA...
We've read/heard that she is "intelligent" and that she passes the time reading law books... I think she got fed up with JB and being the "skilled liar/smarter than everyone else" person that she believes she is... planted a seed in CM's ear that caused him to question her "stability/competency". CM being on the "edge of a stroke" from all this mess decided to take matters into his own hands (again - explaining why it appeared to me that everyone was clueless as to what he was doing, JB being pizzy and ICA not being certain that he was running with her "seed" right then and there).
I believe she staged this charade thinking that it would give her the opportunity to among other things; "totally pizz in HHJB's cheerios", "buy her one more day" but most importantly the chance to persuade some docs to have sympathy and declare her incompetent... buying yet more time for additional evaluations where she could then convince them she was "BSC"... bingo, presto.... she is set free and she did it all by herself; "cause she is that smart"....
She was all happy and chipper this morning believing she'd pulled it off... until HHJB hands the packets to the teams... then ZING... she is foiled again... and we are right back to sour face.
Fast forward to 1:04 on the attached link and watch her face when HHJB passes by (note: he never looks at her, she even chuckles to herself and continues to watch him all the way to the bench)...
I said it in my play by play review and I will say it again; I know that "look/smile"...I've given it plenty of people that crossed me in very, very bad ways... "You under estimated me and now I've just kicked you in the beans"...

If ICA does testify, I hope LDB is the one to do cross. ICA's has shot many a glare towards her.
