[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly, it is alarming how little people posting here seem to understand about psychosis, which is not a medically rare phenomenon.[/quote]

Not even her own attorney is alleging psychosis. [/quote]

We don’t know what her attorney will ultimately allege; any sensible defense attorney in this situation is going to play cards close to vest until they see what the prosecution can prove. There is no shot at getting her out of custody (nor should there be), and there is no PR victory to be had at this stage in a case of filicide, so they’re smart to say relatively little.[/quote]

He said a ton - he went on a total rant. But said very little of value. [/quote]

I mean, he may well be a total bumbling idiot. I have noticed that a truly surprising number of defense attorneys are not particularly concise or articulate. But unless he stood up there and said: "My client's position on these charges is that she is not guilty for this specific reason only and she waives all opportunity to raise any other defenses at any future point"--none of which would be allowed by a judge at this stage in the proceedings--we don't know what tack he will ultimately take here.
