"At that point does she have the capacity to destroy incriminating evidence by washing the Tiguan."

"Yes."

"Does she have the capacity to destroy incriminating evidence?
"Yes"
Bye, Letecia!!!

It's driving me batty this witness refuses to answer a direct question with a direct answer.

 

[Derph]

OK, It think the point has been made counselor. This Dr is a ZERO, let's move this along.

 

[Kingsley]

Doc doesn't seem to want to judge anything (she is supposed to be an expert). Doesn't know the details. What is her professional purpose (listening to people and collecting a fee)? JMO

 

[Yellow Rose]

They should deduct from her fee for every "abstract" answer. That would leave her owing them.

Reminding myself, the state has to prove that LS needed to know the difference of right from wrong. Dr L won’t say either way.

M’Naghten Rule

Colorado’s definition of insanity is adapted from the M’Naghten Rule: Even if the defendant knew the nature and quality of what he/she was doing, he/she is insane if he/she did not know it was wrong. In short, the defendant has total cognitive disability. It is not considered insanity if the defendant knew his behavior was wrong but could not control it (“volitional incapacity”).

An expert witness should not be answering “I don’t know” to perfectly reasonable questions in her field repeatedly

 

[Ontario Mom]

She needs her licence revoked, my gosh.

The fact that this woman still has paying patients is scary.

Had.
I can't see any reasonable lawyer ever hiring her again as an expert witness.

 

[whitelilac]

An expert saying on the stand "the whole thing is so wacky"...
Unreal

 

[linds1393]

"It's crazy when people kill their kids"

 

[iamshadow21]

Here we go. Digging into the fact that she doesn't believe in ASPD.

Had.

I believe she said at the beginning she has private individual patients. It makes my teefs itch

 

[sunflowerchick]

I dread to think with the hundreds of cases she has been a part of.

They all need reviewing imo

If all her testimony is like this, I would hope the number is small. I'm curious why the defense hired her, what her record claims to show.

 

[Snail-Overlord]

someone smoking weed, judge orders cessation.
Hard to blame them, really...

Omg Judge Werner has probably never witnessed a trial quite like this one. I cannot even imagine what he must be feeling right now

 

[Derph]

Alright I can't take this anymore, I'm pouring my self a drink! It is the afternoon after all. Happy Hour is right around the corner!!

 

[Megnut]

That convicted murderers might lie -- this she calls fantasy.

Reality check on Aisle 7.

[Warwick7]

Admits that LS's text messages to HH was evidence of 'trying to control what happens'.

BAM!!

 

[iamshadow21]

Asking if LS driving back to the body is evidence of knowing right from wrong.

Witness: "It's evidence of stupidity."
