If I remember correctly it was months (not sure how many) that they had been dating.

Two months. They started dating in November.

Cobbins knew right from wrong and is competent to stand trial - psych

Cobbins mother's male relatives were rapists having raped her.

Wonder how Cobbins feels now that he hears that his mother was raped repeatedly by different men when she was growing up? Probably nothing.

Was referred for mental health at 3rd grade. Low IQ. Was a bully.

Cobbins childhood IQ was 85

 

[christee]

I've said this before: many people have had traumatic childhoods and did not commit violent crimes as an adult.
Between the family's pleas and psychologists' opinions he'll probably get LWP.

Why is it relevant what Cobbins says his parents did to him as a child? We know he's lied before.

He got all this from Cpbbins himself? Any verification? Not that I don't believe it, but are we just supposed to take the word of a murdering rapist?

Cobbins told psych his mom and dad beat him as did brother Davidson

Most likely, when Cobbins takes the stand, he'll undo any good words, just like he did to his attorney.

Where were all these caring relatives that spoke this morning, when he was growing up?

Cobbins told psych his mom made him get her drugs

 

[lonetraveler]

So he was a bully. Correct me if I'm wrong, but bullies don't usually follow, don't they usually lead? Defense has been portraying Cobbins as a poor, submissive stooge following Demaricus around like a whipped puppy because he was afraid of him. This does not seem to be something a bully would do, IMO.

Twice kicked out of school in Knox County

Lived in Knox till his dad kicked him out - psych

Sounds like he had a good job, boss let him live with him. And yet, he chose to leave and went to live with mom who got him back into drug dealing.

Cobbins moved to Jackson with Davidson, who he said started pushing him use cocaine, do carjackings

 

[SuziQ]

He got alot of chances and chose to go back to his loser life.
