FWIW I dont think ADHD or the fact that EA took adderall has anything to do with his issues (psycophath, sociopath, sexual predator, whatever monster he is) However, in the Eric Williams case they have received permission for him to get a brain scan to look for brain damage caused by uncontrolled type 1 diabetes!
*****Snipes had granted a change of venue from Kaufman County for Williams' trial due to widespread publicity. Both Rockwall and Kaufman counties are directly east of Dallas County. Williams did not testify in his own defense.
*****"The results of the medical testing are expected to support Mr. Williams' contention, to be made at a motion for new trial, that his mitigation case for a life sentence, rather than a death sentence, was severely prejudiced by the refusal of the trial judge to continue the trial of the punishment phase of the case to permit his counsel time to develop the argument that his judgment and decision making abilities were substantially impaired by damage to his brain, likely caused by uncontrolled Type 1 diabetes and related fainting and falling episodes," the application states.

Also note the case was granted a change of venue due to publicity of the case which I am thinking is going to happen when EA goes to trial.
My point being..I would not be surprised if defense attorneys pull these type of stunts in EA's defense and the issue of ADHD and him taking adderall along with consuming alcohol damaged his brain and impaired his decision making abilities that night!
Do we as a general consensus think people with uncontrolled diabetes have brain damage and capable of murder? Of course not.
We have to try not to take it personal and be able to research side effects or behavioral modifications as the result of taking adderall vs abusing adderall. Also effects of taking it when you truly need it and when a person takes it that does not need it.
