Wow, this is insulting to intelligence.
I think defense had pegged a lot of their case on LE testifying she was "reasonable" when she killed. But, of course, the judge isn't allowing.
The prosecution will eat him alive.
ETA: Craig Miller's voice reminds me of Jim Hightower, which is kind of funny given the context.
It’s like the defense is running to the practical magic recipe book in the back.
Let’s try this spell...
MOO
The defense would have done better by having had a full psychological evaluation on AG, and identified some sort of Attention Deficit Disorder diagnosis, or delayed processing disorder. To actually have a name and diagnosis for the jury to have some sort of "reason" to give AG a pass.
Are they on a break? I've got the seal on the Law & Order link.
Maybe they had a full evaluation and there was nothing that could be clearly diagnosed. Or...maybe that evaluation was unfavorable for her defense. I would love to know if they got one. I figured it would be standard.
Believe me, if you pay for something, there are many psychologists who will write up almost anything. Depending on the amount paid for the evaluation and write up. And a testimony in court, to back the findings, no problem.
The problem is when the prosecution does a cross, and finds out the psychologist routinely testifies for defense attorneys.
