I keep seeing mental illness mentioned all over the place. But that is NOT at all what the LEGAL issue is. MOO. (I think this is exactly the defense plan, and they are very successful right now.. to confuse
Yet the courts are/should be focused on.... can she be competent to the understanding of the legal proceedings.
I think that is where the prosecution is calling bs. Their submissions to the court are that she is using this religious context, with Chad, for her crimes. This is what the charges even stated.. that they are using religion to do the crimes.. so the defense is getting a shot into that this is not true/she is cray /and getting LOTS of media coverage and SM coverage for such. It's overwhelming that now the media is talking about mental illness vs. competency to understand her charges. Again... setting the stage.
If she thinks she is a goddess or ??? etc etc... is she so cray cray that she doesn't understand courts? I think not. MOO.
I'm having a hard time also with the decision that she is not competent to stand trial.... unless it's a fuzzy area where a state employee doesn't know that her saying...
"I'm a goddess, I'm above your earthly trials.. I WILL NOT PARTICIPATE in such " so therefore I cannot participate in my own defense" (taken from the exact wording of the law as the "out" if they cannot participate in their defense) ..............doesn't apply MOO
If that is what is happening... jeeezzz, terrorists and Boston bombers and others have tried such. .. and gotten the slap down from the courts.
The judge pretty much had to go with the state employee.........for now. And weeks of media talking about her "mental illness" which even if true, has NOTHING to do with competency for which this is happening.
MOO
