Yes, I also believe CMJA wouldn't let them use the mental card. It could have played out way better than what CMJA came up with. you're right about CMJA not wanting to admit her weaknesses....I totally agree. Also, she wanted to appear like the "normal one" to contrast with Travis' supposed "craziness." AND....she thought if she pretended to be normal, the jury would think she didn't do it (the stabbing)??? I really think sometimes she thought the jury would forget about the stabbing, maybe in the "fog" too.
Interesting, so you think CMJA didn't sign off on this media ploy? That is very interesting, I didn't think of that. But is her defense allowed to do that? I mean, can they put out media things without checking it with her first (by law, I mean)?
I think that CMJA tossed her aversion to the mental card aside after the jury found her guilty of M1. I don't know...they already found her guilty, so what use is it to her now? Now it suits her case. And remember JW put it into her closing in mitigation...she told the jury that you can find BPD as a mitigating factor, too. And some people on here caught that she only put it in closing so Juan couldn't rebut her on it! But now they know it's a new jury who hasn't heard all of their shpeal before. I think CMJA is signing off on all of this now.
