I believe that he is weaving a defense, that he will claim to hear voices, claim to be schizophrenic. And for the past several years, he has taken action to make this defense seem real – because he knew that he could not keep this woman captive for her entire life. He came up with the idea of “inventing” a box where he could control the evil voices that told him what to do, and that he has gained control over his schizophrenia. And he went so far as to rent a web site, claiming as much, hired an investigator to gather signed affidavits from the owners of 5 businesses with whom he did printing. The affidavits say they witnessed his ability to control voices in his head.
Yep, he’s going to try to put on a great defense. I hope the good citizens of California are NOT forced to pay for the hundreds of thousands of dollars he will spend on defending the indefensible.
His father said he is crazy and that he took LSD as a teenager. He went from being a “good boy” to a nut. The father also said he has never visited him at his home. CYA or truly crazy?
Drugs can and do give some people schizophrenia. If he is indeed crazy, why wasn’t taking his meds and seeing a shrink part of his probation?
