Come to think of it- it IS a conflict of interest for Jackson if he had previously represented Rob. Just like Donna Adelson and Rashbaum in Florida. The judge would have ordered Jackson off the case.

DBM- wrong post quoted.

But if Nick refuses an NGRI defense, then Jackson couldn't do that. It's completely up to the defendant to call the shots in his own defense. Jodi Arias also didn't want to be seen as Insane.

I wonder if Jake & Romy or the aunts and uncles as next of kin could still get Power of Attorney/Conservatorship over him? It's probably irrelevant now, as he's making his plea decisions and will never be able to do street drugs ever again. He'll be lucky if he ever sees his freedom again. At...

I've lived in CA for 65 years, and I can guarantee you that it doesn't cost $10K/mo to live in CA.

Typical lawyer speak which is meaningless. Mark Geragos also proclaimed Scott Peterson as "Stone Cold Innocent". Only means Innocent until Proven Guilty, which is the American standard of Justice. Doesn't mean Innocent.

Exactly! And I'm guessing that unless he's declared Incompetent, he can determine how he will plea and he's the one objecting to an Insanity defense. My guess is that he feels justified in killing them and wants to go free. I think that's the real reason Jackson bowed out.

Nor can we lock someone up for a potential crime. Yes, there were red flags, still doesn't mean that WSU holds any responsibility.

Well at least he's finally been indicted! That's progress.

Only if the WSU students were willing to report that they were victims of stalking. Otherwise the police can't act. I still fail to see why the university is on trial here. He wasn't given a TAship in spite of that fact. That's how your post sounds. And police in WA wouldn't have notified police...

I've yet to see one photo of him looking like GQ model. That's my opinion.

Did you notice the weird all bright green outfits that both the men and women were wearing??? Certainly looks like a fan club or cultish to me...

Couldn't they have just added on/prescribed him GLP-1s? I know that they did that for a Tourette's patient who has her own reality TV show.

From this article: Murphy added, "It's called going 1368, and when they do that, the court is required by law to appoint two mental health experts – one at the request of the prosecution, one to request the defense – to evaluate the defendant, determine whether or not the defendant is competent...
