The bolded part jumped out at me, as did this, from Day one of pretrial: "Frattolin told investigators that he believed Melina’s mom could be responsible for her death, and that when they got back to Canada he intended to press charges. He also said he believed her mom would have lost custody."...

Strange though that NR would bring this exact thing up when trying to convey how the making of Being Charlie made him feel closer to his dad : "We didn't bond a lot as a kid, like, he really liked baseball, I liked basketball. He could watch that with my brother but, baseball..."

I agree. It seems to me it was put out there in the context of a defense strategy, when AJ was in charge. NR put a lot of unfortunate and damaging words out there, in Being Charlie and in his interviews on the Dopey podcast. I guess an effective defense would've needed to level the playing field...

According to Harvey Levin's sources, he was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in 2020 and was treated with antipsychotics until a month before the crime (7:44 mark below). This needs to be understood in the context of a defense strategy, which would have involved attributing NR's actions...

Wouldn't he need to be declared incomptetent to speak for himself for the family to have a say in his plea ?

Also, I'm quite sure I heard Harvey Levin - who broke the schizophrenia story - casually referring to a diagnosis of schizo-affective disorder instead. Surely, this change isn't just anecdotal and maybe it has something to do with the taking down of the video. Diagnosing NR over the years has...

This makes a lot more sense to me, considering what we know so far. Thanks for sharing.

You're right, sorry for the confusion.

Divorce would have put a stop to the long and stressful process, if they were married. IMHO
