Thanks, Joe, for the updates/links.
I've watched whatever testimony the two local TV channels have shown. Absolutely chilling & awful. Is this man human?
It is possible that he is telling the truth as he remembers it, I guess -- but, but, but, he says he remembers the most horrible (not his word) parts of what he did -- so why doesn't he admit the 2nd most horrible part?
Many folks are believed when they tell "mostly" the truth -- is that what he is doing, is he simply trying to save his skin, or is he really affected by PTSD? Certainly the affects of alcohol & pain-killers could be a big part of it. But we don't say "It's okay Mr. DUI, you hit & killed that person because you blew a .19 and you certainly didn't mean to do it."
He seems to be an odd one up there -- is that also part of his plan? Surely psychological tests/evaluations have been done on this man -- he is on trial instead of on a psych ward. I don't really know how this works, especially when PTSD is claimed... Hard to tell from what we've been shown...
Gives me the shivers. He'll have a tuff time in prison unless he's isolated on death-row...
