His tragic childhood stories are superfluous and ironic. Having been hurt and traumatised in the past does not give you a free pass to inflict the same onto others. He has done this type of crime 3 times in the past?! Now he wants sympathy for its all, and his health condition! What about his victims childhoods and their health conditions, and now the trauma of what he has done to them on top of all that. Finally there is a smidgeon of justice.

the bad childhood card should only ever be played against one's parents or people who damaged them IN childhood. I don't care if you're 19 or 49- no one has the right to take out their childhood trauma on someone who did not traumatise them as a child! tf? Meanwhile if you're 75 and you are still hurt by your parents, you are fully entitled to be. You don't have to get over anything. It's when you start taking out your mummy issues on your wife that it becomes a problem. Take it out on ya damn mama!

Although I'm disgusted by the defense attorney's argument (and I haven't watched the trial) our system requires that every suspect be provided a defense. There have been some trials that make me cringe when defense attorney uses bravado and insist on absurdity or demonizing the victim to get their client off. It's only additional trauma to the original crime. As sad as all that is, its a part of our constitution that a suspect receive a defense. If I were a Public Defender and assigned this case, I would merely object to inappropriate lines of questioning and only ensure that the person recieve no more time than permitted beyond guidelines.

Sad to hear about his childhood no child should go through that. He should’ve seek to help to get past his horrible childhood instead of used it to victimize other people. Listening to this attorney talk about his childhood is disgusting trying to use it to lessen a sentence for hurting somebody else. He might as well be defending the dad who victimized the defendant with the way he’s acting like your past experiences allow you to act the way you are now. There’s plenty of help out there for people who need it don’t use it as an excuse to be a horrible person.

And for the life of me I can't understand why an abused person will abuse anyone knowing how it felt. I used to have a lot of hate towards my abusers. I counseled myself. And one day I realized how much easier it is to love than hate. So, as the late Mandela told Bill Clinton he wasn't going to give his oppressors that last bit of power, I decided to turn to love. I did that. But f*(&! I'm not forgetting.

They started she fell asleep during (this does happen)then she came to woke sobered up a bit and was no longer interested..but it was too late?...and again im just asking how we know this didn't happen? Was it proven during trial? And if that was the case..would that be grape? Does the defendant have any past similar discretions? Again I'm not victim blaming.
