You weren't asleep on a lanai by chance clutching a pad of Post-It Notes were you?

Too funny! I am innocent I swear!
I kept hearing voices, droning voices! They put me to sleep.
Oh, Did I Just Hear That The Rebuttal Rests?
Say Yes!

Still on the side of NG - insanity, unless prosecution closing hammers home something I missed during testimony.

Closing tomorrow starting at 9:45am eastern time.

The Judge says 'Get plenty of rest!

Wow, the Florida Law is not so cut and dry... gonna be tough for the jury

1) AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE.—All persons are presumed to be sane. It is an affirmative defense to a criminal prosecution that, at the time of the commission of the acts constituting the offense, the defendant was insane. Insanity is established when:

(a) The defendant had a mental infirmity, disease, or defect; and

(b) Because of this condition, the defendant:

1. Did not know what he or she was doing or its consequences; or

2. Although the defendant knew what he or she was doing and its consequences, the defendant did not know that what he or she was doing was wrong.

Mental infirmity, disease, or defect does not constitute a defense of insanity except as provided in this subsection.

(2) BURDEN OF PROOF.—The defendant has the burden of proving the defense of insanity by clear and convincing evidence.

History.—s. 1, ch. 2000-315.

Pros rest. Judge explains to jury closing arguments tomorrow. They get case thursday. #JulieSchenecker

Another not guilty by reason of insanity. I think we are dealing with an extremely mentally ill woman who should not have been left alone with her kids for any amount of time.

Right there with you, Chelly.......just don't know if it will pony up to Florida's definition of insanity.
*You can use me as a shield :floorlaugh:*

Asking for an acquittal based on the State not proving she was sane.

Interesting

The defense is asking for an acquittal based on the belief she was saving her children. #JulieSchenecker

 

[newone]

Will PT have an opportunity right now to blow this plea out of the water right now or will this require the judge to consider without input from PT

 

[newone]

if she's acquitted what then?? she walks?? or gets locked up in hospital???

 

[Ranchgirl]

Is it too early to take a quick vote?

Of the 30 or so members here right now, if we were on the jury, how would we vote?
What are the jury instructions, do we know?

She faces two counts of first-degree murder, a charge that carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison.

Will they include the lesser charges of 2nd degree and/or manslaughter?

Oh, and the 62 guests, sign up now, it's fast free and easy

Sane at the time of the murder....still not ready for the degree

The DT is giving this young, junior atty an opportunity to plead for acquittal.

:websleuther:

I really need to hear the jury instructions tomorrow.

Hopefully we can get a copy to review during deliberations.
