T is putting on the performance of a lifetime in this trial. With her head down acting like she’s completely disengaged with what’s happening, hiding behind her hair, doing her ‘hand signals’ etc. I doubt it will work. Even cases where IMO the perp has been legally insane at the time of the crime m, a NGRI defense is very rarely successful. Even with a well documented history of mental illness it’s rare to be found NGRI.
.
It is pretty much unheard of for an insane person to have the wherewithal to create a huge web of lies, deceit, multiple stories and excuses for evidence. In fact, IMO this is what makes me believe T was completely sane and knew what she was doing in the moment of and the time after killing Gannon. If we believe her story we are meant to assume that her dissociative state lasted an extremely short space of time she was fine the evening before, morning of, even into the afternoon of that day. She knew to report Gannon sick from school, she knew to make sure she left her phone at home that day. Are we to believe she sure quickly snapped out of it as she sent Laina outside to play and text Harley to buy clean up supplies very shortly after. She was ok when she reported Gannon missing and also when creating the first lie of Gannon going to a friends house. She was lucid and well enough to attempt her clean up, move Gannon’s body, lie to police and tell the most ludicrous stories to Al each time she knew he wasn’t buying what she was selling.
Her own words as documented in her txts and phone calls portray a cold calculating deceitful killer IMO, in all those hours of phone calls to Al she was T and not any of her ‘alters’, she knew who she was talking to and knew what she’d done that day, she knew she’d been to petco and knew that blood would be found from Gannon’s ‘cut foot’. If she was genuinely insane at the time and dissociated or suffering a psychotic break, wouldn’t she have claimed from the start she ‘couldn’t remember’ instead of creating all the lies. Wouldn’t she claim that the time of the killing is just a blank space where she has no memory of what happened. Instead we had absolutely stupid and down right insulting lies about sexual assault, kidnapping, Gannon falling off a bike, going to a friends, just to name a few of many many tales.
She definitely IMO has BPD, which can cause blind fits of rage however, once the episode of rage was over T would have known that she’d lost her temper, Gannon was dead. And instead of claiming a fit of rage and mental illness from the start she cleaned up, disposed of Gannon’s body and concocted a trail of stories and lies to try and fit around the evidence she knew they would find. Not the actions of an insane person. Many many people have BPD, it is not DID. I think once T knew Gannon was found, she was caught, she had told so many lies that were unraveling, she had no choice but to feign insanity. But she’s feigned it very poorly, characters out of twilight being one example of yet another lie she’s come up with.
I hope the jury see straight through her, she is evil, calculating and manipulative. But IMO definitely not insane.
All MOO
