Pretty sure, sitting so close to her, Cook can smell what side he's on.

He'll send a care package to her at the big house. Shampoo, soap on a rope, toothpaste, deodorant, if she uses those things. Seems doubtful though. He needs a gas mask sitting so close to her. Heh!

"Fake polygraph test", "fake security camera video", "fake degree", "fake marriage license", "fake tears", etc

Yep!

TBF. the Defense's expert should be looking for anything "insane" that can explain the defendant's behavior. Everyone has the right to a fair trial and their own expert(s). The Defense's expert has no other role than to propose an insanity defense.

The jury is obligated to listen to both sides, as we all know.

I think it will work best if Dr Lewis can sound certain of a particular diagnosis. The State has already put on experts who mentioned a mix of personality disorders.

Did anyone catch anything interesting during the jury instruction discussion this morning? Looks like we'll be heading into deliberations as early as Friday (but more likely on Monday, I'd think - since closing and instructions are going to take time). Could still be Friday, though. The Defense has so little to present.

IMO.

Yeah, definitely want her to have a fair trial. The goal is no loopholes for defense after the guilty verdict is given, for sure.

Why in the world would the judge not have court tomorrow? Already have Thurs. off!

So the sides have time to prepare their closing arguments.

This is assuming the Defense rests later today.

 

[Kiranerys]

I'm seeing a few people elsewhere saying that they emailed the Judge yesterday about Cook and LS behavior!.

I'm sure that went down well

Ick! Being so close to her he might want to start taking an antibiotic to ward off viruses, fleas, tics, lice, std's and whatever else she might be carrying.

If I was his wife he'd be sleeping in another house starting last night and every night going forward while I hire a divorce lawyer tomorrow.

FWIW I think her Google searches reflect her utter dependence on an audience. Seperated from someone to talk to, she's like a teen with an 8-Ball, wearing it out, or a different teen who learned you can ask Google to look up naughty things, just for funsies. I suspect she found a kind of validation in that, whatever she searched for, Google provided answers, as if it's all normal-normal.

The fake polygraph people were creeped out by her, but Google, her newest bbf, never judged her. Somewhere, however, deep in the Artificial Intelligence formula that lurks behind the Google machine, Google's Artificial Intelligence probably wanted to belch, "omg, you freak. Turn yourself in yesterday!"

Google was her last friend, after everyone else stopped talking to her.

Bye bye, Google friend.

For LH and Al's (and everyone's) sake, I hope she doesn't testify. But, if she does, I hope she nails the lid to her coffin.

No Worries. Letecia's coffin was securely nailed shut yesterday by Kevin Clark's testimony. But Letecia's testimony can add significant additional safeguards.

What is the jury make-up of men/women?

If it's more men, I think LS will testify (because she thinks she can charm them/flirt with them).

If it's more females, I think she may not take the stand.

Could Tolini and Cook have drawn staws to see who had to act giggley with LS as a possible distraction? Obviously Cook lost.

MOO.

You can actually.
c/T scan is a 3D scan of brain and will show anomalies.

Thanks. The first link compares the best of each, and in some cases a CT scan might be better imaging choice. I'm not sure, but I think an MRI would be better if the injury happened some time ago because "the long-term effects of TBI can develop gradually". However, if I understand it correctly, some injuries to the brain may not show up on either imaging.​

Exploring the Brain: Is CT or MRI Better for Brain Imaging?

The complexity of the organ that determines how a person thinks, moves, feels, and remembers is overshadowed only by its unique vulnerability. This series discusses differences in brain imaging modalities.

The advantages of Head CT vs Head MRI

Traumatic Brain Injury After-Effects Show Up in Adults

Have you ruled out TBI as the cause of your memory issues, sluggish energy, or mood issues? The after-effects of a car accident or fall can show up decades later.

www.psychologytoday.com

"Unless there is damage to the larger structures of the brain, traumatic brain injury will not show up on an MRI or CT scan. Most traumatic brain injuries do not cause gross injury to the brain, but rather result in damage at the level of the cells and axons."

I don't know what the defense will claim. But a concussion does involve brain damage. That's not a reach. According to the CDC a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury. As the link below points out, even mild concussions are serious.

Effects may be temporary or long-lasting.

They might be looking for conjugal visits in the jail. They appear so lovey dovey in front of the camera. Ewwww!

 

[RaspberryMama]

Regarding C/T scans and MRIs... Either one can show issues in the brain. Normally the cat scan is done first and followed up by an MRI if thought necessary. However, if there is swelling, the images from an MRI may not be accurate. If there is significant swelling an attempt to reduce it is normally made before an MRI is done.

If it was a strategy, it was poorly executed. Better to leave an entire roll of toilet paper in front of their defendant and let her entertain herself than to disrespect the court and the jury by normalizing bad behavior. Wow, just wow.

What is the jury make-up of men/women?...

"A jury pool of hundreds has been winnowed down to 11 men and seven women, who began their civic duty at 1:30 p.m. April 3 when the trial commenced with opening statements. Six of those jurors will be alternates."

Lots of people have brain damage, unfortunately. For too long concussions were simply treated as meaningless unavoidable injuries of childhood and adolescence almost like skinned knees. Fortunately most people with brain damage don't kill or engage in other aggressive acts. But that fact doesn't mean we can rule out brain damage as ever being a factor in aggression.

I had heard frontal lobe damage can cause changes in behavior and possible violence, I may be wrong though. IMOO

Letecia is immature, selfish, narcissistic and craves attention to an unrealistic level. She genuinely believes she is both smarter and superior to those around her. She probably has a lot of childhood trauma to unpack but that doesn’t negate or explain her actions. She is not legally insane. She displays many run of the mill narcissistic tendencies and she likely always will.

She deserves life without parole, and I hope to see it.

Justice for Gannon!
