Id say it is more appropriate to show during sentencing. That someone beat this old lady is not being debated, but whether or not this particular individual did, is.

I think you've got something, there.

True in general, though if this person is trying to argue 'not guilty by reason of insanity' that would seem like an admission that he did do it. Still, the same principle applied when McVeigh was railroaded (probably needlessly) by the states' endless parade of "witnesses" who weren't present at the bombing but lost relatives there.
BTW, is there something flakey causing posts to not show up immediately?

Perhaps those types of things should be required viewing during the trial.
