In the 11/18 hearing it was testified to that a therapist came to her home, almost daily.
That is a fact.
W8nc was sitting beside me at the hearing. She heard it as well.
I do not doubt that you were there or spent the night before in your car as you have mentioned; I do not doubt your dedication or passion in seeing justice for Elizabeth
My point was that we do not know the time frame of this therapy, and I have seen the testimony (which might be considered a fact) reported in a number of different ways, none of which state the time frame for this daily therapy -- and some say "sometimes daily" some say " up to 2 hours daily" , Again my point was that none of them say from 2007 to 2009 she was in therapy OR for 6 weeks in 2007 she was in therapy -- all the different versions of David Cook quotes I saw in the paper referenced the therapy in past tense
Snipped:
"In 2007, Cook said, Bustamante attempted suicide, prompting a 10-day stay at the Mid-Missouri Mental Health Center. Follow-up treatment included a prescription for the anti-depressant Prozac and near-daily meetings with counselors. The treatment was primarily focused on her tendencies toward depression and self-mutilation not her potential for homicidal tendencies, said Cook and Kurt Valentine, her juvenile court counsel."
Columbia TribuneBBM how long is follow up treatment?
David Cook got his information from reading notes
"David Cook, a Cole County juvenile officer, testified yesterday that, after reading notes and analysis by Bustamantes therapists, he is not much closer to figuring out a motive for the alleged crime. There may not be a definite diagnosis, he said yesterday in the juvenile hearing."
There are many versions of reports of the testimony, so until I can at least READ the testimony recorded by a court reporter and see the exact words of the juvenile officer in context, or see some other proof of her therapy I cannot consider other people's (reporters and all) interpretation a fact
