That is a defense that wouldn't work...that would be like a defense atty trying to defend a husband who killed his wife because he lovingly took care of her car and she left a bag of old McDonald fries in it. No jury would buy that as a reason to acquit.
All it would do would convince a jury that this person is guilty and not stable enough to ever be in the public again.
I'm not sure about that. People in the media have painted him as some 'control freak' and have tried to dig up dirt on him. The true test of his character is how well did he behave in the work place, because they're trying to label this as workplace violence. If he had a history of blowing up at people and throwing things in anger, then you could argue he was a time bomb just waiting to go off. I haven't heard any of that in the media at all. I'm not even convinced that the two of them crossed paths that morning, and if they did, we're not sure exactly when she disappeared, only that she didn't appear on camera as leaving that day. I haven't heard any witnesses say they even saw her that day in the lab. Card swipes aren't password controlled, so anyone can use a card and their identity would not be known, whether it's the real one, or a forged one.
