He could feel and see the death. The kids watching the murder saw it. Irish_Dem Mar 2021 #11

He was being pathologically and fatally defiant Siwsan Mar 2021 #15

I would like the prosecution to lay out the motivation and or pathology Irish_Dem Mar 2021 #19

He's going to have a hard time proving that, since so much is on video Siwsan Mar 2021 #20
