The woman charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 8-year-old son Robert Manwill is a "self-admitted and diagnosed compulsive liar," her defense attorneys say.

Doing so would bring about possible 5th Amendment violations against herself, and I'm sure the prosecution is well aware of this. The prosecution definitely does not want either of these scum bags to get off on appeal because of rights violations.

But, if she is a compulsive liar, and said that she is a compulsive liar, was she telling the truth?
No, not necessarily. She probably worked for the Clinton Administration, or the DNC, or the Zero Administration. She was probably pretty high up.
