Yes true about the bat. Was the exact location of the bat when he or she picked it up ever disclosed yet or will we ever know for sure? Hard to establish this IMO. It could have been anywhere, either in the garage or it could have been lying in the hallway. They really only have TMs version of events in this respect to go on unless someone else who was in the house earlier that evening can recall specifically seeing it. I am firmly of the belief still until I hear to the contrary that TM is covering to a certain extent for MM, that she started the whole thing off with the paving brick and Jason was struggling with her to disarm her and also trying to defend himself and TM walked in just at the moment Jason possibly had his hands on her, not to physically abuse her, but naturally outraged at her attack on him and doing what comes natural when one is attacked which is to try defend himself by whatever means either by pushing or trying to restrain her. TM reacts as many a father would do on what greeted him. However, its only afterwards when he assesses the scene he realises that he didn't inflict all the damage with the bat but molly and the paving brick did. Is it possible he could have survived the attack if he were hit with just the bat I wonder?
Now, despite the claims of mollys bipolar, was she unstable at the time of the attack... I don't think she was..wouldn't the first place she should go or be ordered to go is the nearest psych ward to both protect herself and those around her. The child services in NC who met her in the aftermath would have been looking for signs of instability while asessing her and didn't see anything wrong, she is able to give instructions to her lawyers and seemingly functioning normally since for her court appearances. I'm on the fence about the bipolar and the part it plays in this murder to be honest. Did she actually have bipolar or was it a form of depression she had, il await medical evidence on this. She claims not to have taken medication in eight years which would tie in with the timeline of her coming to Ireland, it's just not possible for a person with bipolar to function normally for eight years without a carefully followed medication plan. Its a Massive and foolish lie for her to tell when her life is on the line which is easily verified. I am of the view she is and was very much stable and in control of her actions whether or not she suffered some of form of mental illness eight years ago and prior, i dont believe at the time of the murder she was suffering from mental health. There's just something odd about this and her side have offered nothing to rebutt any of what has been said which is in line with what their strategy has been so far...to reveal as little as possible. Such interviews like KMs are giving them fodder to work with. Has her previous mental health problems any relevance to the upcoming trial, at the moment I don't think it has. Telling a lie or being vague about previous medical history in the past does not make a person a murderer and this can be explained away that she was ashamed and worried how people incl jasons family would react if she revealed all, this is what the defence will say and there are plenty who can relate to that. I wish we knew more of her alleged version of events of what led up to this. Something made her snap and I really really would love to know for sure what it was but il have to patiently wait for the trial for this!
