I think when they are able to adjust Lori Vallow's medication to the point where she will sit in her seat subdued, quiet and able to refrain from interjecting without being comatose she will be good to go for court.
LVD wore a nice sweater (not a wrinkled and/or dirty prison smock), her hair was clean, combed and attractively curled; she even put on MASCARA for her court appearance. She is not out of it.
Which does not mean she is not so severely narcissistic, defensive and easily triggered that she can be trusted to sit quietly next to her lawyer even when baited. Stealing, lying, killing husbands and even her children, LVD lacks boundaries. In her quest to be seen as perfect and to have everything the way she wants, LVD will do/has done anything and everything and denied her wrongdoing when caught. She's the kid caught with her hand in the cookie jar and with crumbs all over her face who demeans her accuser: "YOU are crazy. I hate cookies! I'd NEVER, EVER get into cookies. How dare YOU accuse me of eating cookies?!"
When Mark Means reached toward LVD during the arraignment, my husband thought he did it because he had told LVD not to talk and that Means was reaching in LVD's direction as an additional reminder to keep quiet. When Means reached again toward LVD toward the end of the video my husband thought it was to remind her not to stand up to leave until he told her too.
Tylee patted LVD on the arm in the police station when LVD started to raise her voice and get excited. I think Tylee was protecting LVD from embarrassing herself. Which makes me think that LVD has a long-standing problem and that her thin-skinned defensiveness and desire for being the center of drama causes her to make scenes. Her documented legal battles with her former husbands illustrate how LVD abused not only the courts, but also her children to create non-stop turmoil. LVD accuses her victims of doing and being the worst things imaginable, takes everything they have including their lives and then easily manipulates the truth (even uses her Bible) to make her bad actions THEIR [her victim's] fault.
My opinion. And posting this again because I like what Forever Young said as well as the link:
"Narcissistic mortification is "the primitive terror of self dissolution, triggered by the sudden exposure of one's sense of a defective self ... it is death by embarrassment".
