@Oldsoul1942 @realJennaEllis You’re a doctor and still mixing press conferences, trial records, and emergency filings? That’s the problem, not your degree. If your mind is that sharp, you shouldn’t need to blur three different sources into one.

@RepNancyMace He knows Presidents can’t pardon state murder charges. He said it because Trump weighed in and called for sympathy. It was TV drama not a real legal request. Try keeping up! 🤦‍♀️

[Michelle @michannerielly]

@RepNancyMace Thanks, Nancy. That’s a slogan, not a legal standard. Intent still matters. Psychosis removes intent and isn’t a parenting choice. Medicine, law, and moral teachings all treat that differently than slogans. And actual moral teachings judge intent and capacity.

[Michelle @michannerielly]

@Oldsoul1942 @realJennaEllis I listened again and read again. You’re inventing things he never said.

[Michelle @michannerielly]

You’re mixing the press conference, the trial record, and the emergency filings like they’re the same thing. Reddington never accused the juror of disability discrimination in any public statement. The ADA language in the emergency filing is a legal argument about whether the juror applied the mental‑illness standard correctly, not a claim of discrimination. If you’re going to say he made a specific accusation, you need a timestamp or a quote from the filing itself.

1) “Clearly, Judge, we have a person who under their oath... looked you in the eye, and lied."
➡️This is about the juror saying he could follow the law, then not doing it.
It is NOT about disability.

2) “I would go so far as to say he lied under oath."
➡️Again: about following the law, not disability.

3) “The juror's reasoning reflects a bias against those who suffer from debilitating mental illness."
➡️THIS is the line you are are twisting.
- He did NOT say the juror discriminated against Lindsay because she has a disability.
- He said the juror's reasoning showed he didn't understand or accept mental illness as a legal factor.
- That is NOT a disability discrimination accusation.

It's a legal argument about whether the juror applied the standard correctly.

A collapsed mental state isn’t a permanent desire to harm. Psychosis is an acute medical emergency, not a personality trait, and once someone is stabilized and treated, they don’t “do it again.”

Being failed by the medical system doesn’t make someone permanently dangerous - it means the crisis wasn’t prevented.

The jury applied the legal standard: culpability is based on intent and reality testing, not fear‑based hypotheticals or gender assumptions.

AND moral teachings don’t say “punish the sick” they say the OPPOSITE: you judge intent, you protect the vulnerable, and you don’t confuse a medical collapse with evil.

[Michelle @michannerielly]

I listened to the post‑trial press conference and most of the trial, and I never heard Reddington say anything about disability discrimination. He said the juror claimed he could follow the law and then didn’t- again that’s a legal argument, not intimidation. If one is going to going to claim he said something specific, you need a timestamp, because I’m certain it wasn’t in the press conference.

[Michelle @michannerielly]

He didn't intimidate anyone and he didn't accuse the juror of disability discrimination. He said the juror claimed he could follow the law and then didn't - that's a legal argument, not intimidation. Criticizing a juror's conduct after a mistrial isn't a crime, and nothing he said meets the threshold for witness tampering or jury intimidation.

[Michelle @michannerielly]

@Bryan17761 @RepNancyMace Understanding a collapsed mental state isn’t “making excuses”, it’s literally how intent and culpability are evaluated in every legal system.

[Michelle @michannerielly]

You keep talking like psychosis creates some loophole people will “think they can use,” but it’s one of the strictest, hardest‑to‑prove standards in forensic psychiatry. Courts don’t free people because of empathy - they evaluate intent, reality testing, and agency, and a planned, goal‑directed act doesn’t meet that threshold. Saying anyone capable of violence should be treated the same ignores how culpability is actually determined.

[Michelle @michannerielly]

You keep acting like psychosis is some casual excuse anyone can grab, when in reality it’s one of the hardest defenses to prove because it requires documented loss of intent, reality testing, and agency. A planned, goal‑directed act doesn’t meet that threshold, and the fact you think it does just shows you don’t understand how culpability is actually determined- AND that’s not my education problem, that’s yours!

[Michelle @michannerielly]

This psychiatrist wasn’t there during the killing - that is when Lindsay had the break. Psychosis is a break not a permanent long lasting event. Educate yourself. This psychiatrist was talking about when she spoke to Lindsay which was days after the killings. 🤦‍♀️ ppl doing or attempting to do psych 101 online.

[Michelle @michannerielly]

@RepBrandonGill Wild how many people I used to respect have zero sympathy here. The way some folks talk… people need to find a little humanity again. Psychosis is real, and the lack of compassion is honestly scary.

[Michelle @michannerielly]

@JDessaigne You’re insane. He didn’t identify him or threaten him in any way. In fact the State was the 1st one to identify the jurors sex and say “he” in court. Settle yourself down.

[Michelle @michannerielly]

Nothing I’m saying is “trying to invent psychosis.’”

The documented medical record shows a full clinical collapse: months of worsening depression, insomnia, agitation, intrusive thoughts, adverse SSRI reactions, and missed bipolar indicators. Those are textbook precursors to a psychotic break.

Three INDEPENDENT clinicians diagnosed psychosis after the event- AGAIN which is the only time psychosis can be diagnosed, because it requires observable symptoms. The civil suit outlines those symptoms clearly.

Saying she “did not have psychosis” isn’t a factual position- it’s you ignoring the medical evidence and FACTS.
