"Can you call my husband? He’s going to be so pissed off," Copulos says #Schenecker asked him. #scheneckertrial

Really???

Bet he is going to be asked about his clothing as well...he isn't in officer blue--

:floorlaugh: Yeah and where were the plastic gloves that he should have stapled to his hands!!!

Her speech started off slurred and became clearer over time, Copulos says. #scheneckertrial

This is indicative of mental illness which is a disease. Would you be so critical of someone with cancer spending several hours a day in bed?

And if I believed JS suffered from severe mental illness rather than being a self absorbed woman who demands to be the center of attention I would be more sympathetic... but I don't.

We're back to the procedural questions: What time did you arrive? What were you wearing? #scheneckertrial

 

[YESorNO]

Gotta go and start dinner.
Be back later.
Take good notes. :floorlaugh:

But the partner was just one person not two right? JS shot and killed her son, then quietly went upstairs and came up behind her daughter and shot and killed her. Two people killed in different places with a time lapse between the killings.

Then she pulled/dragged her daughter's corpse into the bed and covered her with a blanket. She went back to the car and covered her son with a blanket and then went to patio where she had a little sleepy poo on the divan? All in a blackout? No way.

How'd that work out for the drunk stabber? Guilty of murder or temporary insanity?

Guilty of murder, of course!

I never said she did this in a blackout. You mentioned blackout. My pondering, (and I don't think there's any dispute about this) is about her alcoholism. She was very obviously entering the DT's while in custody, and consequently medically treated (as yet undisclosed). But I'll bet you it was detox with librium.

I have no idea what her state of mind was when she murdered her children.

If anyone was wondering if she was in a blackout, this should answer your question.

Officer didn't record #JulieSchenecker on way to police station

Just to be clear....Alcoholism does not meet the criteria for an insanity defense! But I wonder if the defense are planning to use JS's state at the time of arrest, and the bi-polar diagnosis, as proof of insanity!?!?

It's not looking good for her that Officers smelled alcohol from her being, and found countless empties in the home. Also, if she was treated for withdrawal, that should be admissible, and will not bode well for her.

What you said was 'very, very, drunk to block out what you are actually doing' which sounds like the definition of what a black out is IMO. I do think that being so drunk that you don't remember what happened should not be looked at as severe as someone who plots and then carries out a murder. Heat of passion vs cold, premeditated.

I thought JS blamed her condition on Abilify. I understood that prolonged use of this drug can cause someone to shake like JS did so I don't know if that was the cause of her shaking or it was alchohol withdrawl. I'm sure this trail will have plenty of medical opinions.

#JulieSchenecker was concerned with her reckless driving court date while she's being held for killing her kids

I think it was known that she suffered from Tardive Diskinesia brought on as a side affect of over dosage or prolonged usage of anti pyschotic medications. I'd have to recheck the the email link that was mentioned upthread.
