Well I have taken the time to listen to quite a bit of Dr. Vosters testimony and I am impressed with Nels verbal theatrics if nothing else. And doubly impressed with Dr. Voster.
All of Dr. Voster testimony has nothing to do with Oscars ability to distinguish right from wrong, the good doctor has repeatedly said that Osacr was capable of appreciating the wrongness of murdering Reeva in cold blood the docotor is simply saying that Oscar had diminished capacity as to properly interpreting and acting on the noise he heard in the bathroom due to his physical disability and his psychiatric condition which she has diagnosed as Generalized Anxiety disorder.
She did at one time get confuzzled by Nels continuously telling her that she must be wrong and she gave one sloppy answer about right and wrong.
The judge is good to take a doctor of psychiatrys opinion as to the difference between a mental illness and a psychiatric disorder rather than Nels interpretation of the DSM V and the judge has said as much. The doctor said many times that the psychiatric factor she is positing along with Oscars disability specifically denied that Oscar had the incapacity to act in accordance with knowing right from wrong.
A psychiatric disorder diagnosis can explain why a persons ability to act may be different than a person without a particular diagnosis and in Oscars case disability may have diminished culpability, which is simply what I have been saying all along.
I also thing her testimony as to Oscar's ability to take flight is much diminished compared to an able bodied persons ability to take flight.
This is what I have been saying all along in a nut shell. Though I never correctly labeled Oscar with GDA I just referred to him as emotionally unstable.
I cant imagine that Oscar will be sectioned and from her responses I cant imagine the judge believes so either.
Now I have a noon appointment so good day to all.
