Trial day 31: the defense continues it's case in chief #86

[ohiogirl]

30% claim amnesia. Big deal.

 

[Mrs G Norris]

Claimed at trial. As in they don't want to tell anyone what they did. Ted Bundy did this for years, then at the end it all comes out in the third person. Lots of details.

 

[AnonymousD]

Oh no he did not just compare JA to our military & police?

She was so incapacitated by her Fognesia™ that she remembers which closet shelf she step-leapt upon.

Did you really TM "Fognesia"? LOL :floorlaugh:

 

[Ammonitida]

Right you are, but remember Jodi tried to cover that base with her teen age drinking blackouts. More coaching that seems way to obvious to me.

"Tried". That's not comparable to a history of alcoholism abuse by a combat veteran (who are generally much older than Jodi). We're talking way more than two teenage blackouts here.

 

[Steely Dan]

30% of criminals claim amnesia. Well I guess that makes it valid then!

 

[Cherry Baby]

Thanks to all those brave souls still listening. I had to put it on mute and stick some Laura Nyro tunes on. I do appreciate your play by play.

BTW - the Folgers FB page has an offer of a free coffee sample. We need it after listening to all the defense blather.

OMG.. Comparing her to soldiers and police officers!

 

[Mrs G Norris]

If perps say this I'm not sure why we should take their word.

 

[scmom]

Amnesia claimed in 30% of homicides? I can believe that it's claimed, not that it's true.

 

[sassy_texasbelle2]

You can tell this is boring I am actually able to keep up with all of you on here. Normally I am pages behind.

 

[rose222]

Convicted ones claim. lol

Did he just name call soldiers fighting in Afghanistan?

 

[paperwing]

30% of perpetrators claim amnesia - gee, I wonder why???

I have yet to hear how they prove the perpetrator/defendant is not malingering.

(groan).

 

[lonetraveler]

:floorlaugh:OMG he just said that some people can develop PTSD after experiencing the stress of murdering someone. I don't think Defense wanted him to say that.

 

[DebinGA]

Wow, up to 30% of convicted murderers claim to have no memory of the event. Do tell.

 

[Quester]

From this testimony ...

I'm developing amnesia!

 

[pufnstuf]

He said 30% but his article said this:

Claims of amnesia have been reported in an
estimated range of 10 to 70 percent of homicides.

 

[kaki]

Of course they claim amnesia.. so they won't have to answer any damming questions!

 

[perfectvirgo]

How dare this twerp compare JA's fake fog with PTSD in serving military.
