In Lott’s call, he tells his stepdad & mom that he confessed to & committed the murder of a girl & the shooting. They ask why, & he says, “I don’t know.” Tears come to the eyes of Bianka Landavazo, Lauren Landavazo’s mother, while she listens.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 3h3 hours ago
During the call, his mother tells him, “You just messed up your life.” “It was already messed up,” Lott responds. His mother says, Have fun spending the rest of your life in jail.

Capt. Patterson steps down from the stand, & the judge sends the jury out of court. Before the jury leaves, Wichita County Criminal District Attorney Maureen Shelton tells the judge the state rests its case.

One of my editors @JohnstonTRN tells me that officer Love was working for the Wichita Falls Police Department at the time of the shooting and Lott’s arrest. Thanks, Patrick, for the corrected info.

Wichita County Assistant Public Defender David Bost gives a less than 10-minute opening statement for the defense. After evidence presented, “I’m going to come up here and ask that you find Kody Lott not guilty by reason of insanity,” Bost told jury.

Dr. Brian Falls, psychiatrist, sworn in as first witness for the defense.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 7h7 hours ago

Falls interviewed Lott twice, reviewed his records of mental & substance abuse records & WFPD incident report of the shooting, he testified.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 7h7 hours ago
Falls testified that he spent almost 7 hours total with Lott.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 7h7 hours ago
Falls tells jury that a Harris County facility gave Lott a diagnosis of a psychotic illness upon his discharge— which was before Sept. 2, 2016, when the shooting happened.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 7h7 hours ago
The diagnosis was schizoaffective disorder, Falls said.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 7h7 hours ago
Lott’s manifestation of the disease includes depressive symptoms, Falls testified.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 7h7 hours ago
Falls said schizoaffective disorder can cause a person not to realize what they’re doing is wrong.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 7h7 hours ago
“He believed that Lauren was an angel, and she couldn’t die, and by shooting her, he was sending her to another dimension,” Falls testified.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 7h7 hours ago
Among his disordered thoughts was the belief that the shooting would get God’s attention, and he would intervene on behalf of the world against a cult or gang abusing children, Falls testified.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 7h7 hours ago
Yet he also said he was jealous of what Lauren and her boyfriend had, Falls told the jury. Contradictory thoughts can be part of Lott’s disorder, which also includes auditory & visual hallucinations.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 7h7 hours ago
Lott also has a history of abusing cannabis, opioids & meth, Falls said.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 7h7 hours ago
Lott ingested 40 milligrams of hydrocodone before the shooting, Falls testified.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 6h6 hours ago
Falls did find Lott was insane at the time of the shooting.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 6h6 hours ago
During first year in jail, Lott continued to have hallucinations & refused to take the psychotropic meds that would stem the tide of schizoaffective disorder, Falls testified.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 6h6 hours ago
After speaking with Kody Lott’s father, David Lott, and doing other reasearch, Falls thinks Kody Lott began to unravel at 12 or 13 when his parents divorced, Falls testified.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 6h6 hours ago
Rasmussen asks if Falls thinks Kody Lott was insane the day of the shooting. “It’s my opinion ... that Mr. Lott did not know the wrongfulness of his conduct,” Falls said.

Wichita County Criminal Defense Attorney goes on a mission to undermine Falls testimony & shoot holes in his credibility during cross examination.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 6h6 hours ago
Shelton wants Falls to bring some of his publications and info from presentations on forensic psychiatry to court Tuesday. He said he will try to get some but can’t provide slides from at least one because it’s a 6-year-old presentation.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 6h6 hours ago
Tension mounts as Falls flips through his notes trying to determine if he’s reviewed information from witnesses. He said he doesn’t recall most of them or what they said.

Shelton: Did you listen to the jail telephone calls. Falls: Four and a half hours of them.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 6h6 hours ago
Falls appears to be on the receiving end of treatment as a hostile witness.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 6h6 hours ago
Shelton asks if Falls knew serial killer & cannibal Jeffrey Dahlmer was determined to be sane? Did he know Eddie Rolf, who killed Chris Kyle in 2013 on a Texas shooting range, was diagnosed w/PTSD and on medication for a mental illness — and was found sane? Falls said no & no.

Short discussion on what question exactly Falls is answering. Falls said he’s listing things that would appear to show Lott had a knowledge of the wrongness of the crime.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 6h6 hours ago
Shelton:Yes or no, did he ever indicate that murdering Lauren Landavazo was worth it. Falls: Yes.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 6h6 hours ago
“He said he didn’t want to kill himself. He tried to kill himself. ... He said getting the lethal injection would be better than trying to kill himself,” Falls said.

Dr. Brian Falls is back on the stand in the fourth day of testimony in the Kody Lott trial. – at Tim Curry Criminal Justice Center

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 2h2 hours ago
Wichita County Criminal District Attorney Maureen Shelton on cross examination about Lott’s research on the occult and the Bible.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 2h2 hours ago
Falls said people who smoke marijuana earlier longer & more have increased chances of developing schizoaffective disorder, which Lott has.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 2h2 hours ago
Falls testified that Lott has had pervasive drug use likely beginning when he was 12 or 13 and returned to drugs after a 60-day stay in a mental institution that he left with a diagnosis of a major psychotic disorder.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 2h2 hours ago
Shelton drives home the point that Lott’s drug use was voluntary.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 2h2 hours ago
Falls said Lott’s drug included ecstasy, meth, GHB, K2, acid, heroin & other opioids & marijuana.

Falls: Yes, Lott called his mom a b@&&$.

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 2h2 hours ago
Shelton: Didn’t Lott make racist comments to the police about the shooting? Falls: “He made note of Makayla Smith’s race, and the other girl, the third girl that was with them. I don’t know if I’d characterize them as racist.”

Trish Choate‏ @Trishapedia 2h2 hours ago
Shelton reading from Lott’s statement to police: “When I saw her walking with her black friends, I said, hell, no, we’re not going to go down this black path.” Then Lott told police he just got “charged up” and went and jumped in the Tahoe. Lott had watched them from in the apt.
