Per the perp’s family: a concussion made him strangle her and stab her multiple times after planning it for a week.
Uh huh. A jury is just gonna love THAT defense.
It might just work. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was out for 1/2+ of a NASCAR Season and came back for a Final after going to a Team of Specialist at a Concussion/Head Injury Clinic (IIRC in Pittsburgh,PA) to ultimately end His Racing Career in NASCAR Cup. He lives here in Town and We see Him once in a while around here and there. He to this day, still has trouble from the Concussion. He is Also very involved in getting the word out about Head Injuries and the Short/Long Term effects of varying Levels of Trauma to the Head. JR still has special Therapies and Meds.
I am NOT in anyway saying that I am for this as a Defense.
