PART 2: The Final Argument

right here we spent all that time showing through Doctor Lapisada's testimony that this was a legitimate dreadful horrific suicide attempt you think about this beautiful young girl throwing herself out a window that's a quarter I don't know if you have to play pool I challenge you to tell this jury why we spent a week showing that she committed as your witness council address the jury please sir they're witnesses serious suicide attempt remember that serious suicide attempt remember that tried to kill herself so now they're back off on that and they'll agree a serious suicide attempt that's why I said watch the evidence watch the manipulation remember the argument with the bands she took the bands out of the bag put the gloves on talks to Doctor Lapisada on the zone slams the bands down out of the paper bag does the the the movement of the beans and yells at lapis and says wrapped they were just wrapped they weren't knotted because you gotta get Lindsay tightening the band right you gotta hold it you gotta hold it for a minute you gotta hold it for two minutes three minutes four minutes that's why she needed the bands not knotted and then she said it's like this and they sprang open remember that Doctor Lapidus said yeah I saw what you did and she walked away like if the gloves won't fit moment quarter number two what did Patrick Flansey testify to you heard his testimony he indicated clearly unequivocally they were knotted around the necks of those children to the point where he had to struggle and it's your memory not mine if I say something you don't recall forget it it's what you remember the evidence to be but clearly I would suggest he struggled to get it off of Dawson's over his head and a police officer saw through the window this is horrific stuff but it's objective and it shows the manipulation this government this prosecution is a mess they would take their evidence and argue to you that she did not tie a knot and walk away because as Doctor Lapasana said you're talking about four five seconds till somebody passes out no they got to have the four minutes and that's not what the evidence shows is it so as we move on Lindsay's in the hospital and this whole thing about conversations and she's talking to people and the kids are in the basement her throat was crushed you heard the 911 tape you draw the inference whether or not there's a conversation about where the children are I tried to kill myself the kids are in the basement all that you determine whether or not that was something that could be discerned and the police investigation because as his honor indicates you know there are two there are two things here number one proof beyond a reasonable doubt that she's guilty and number two proof beyond a reasonable doubt that she was not suffering from a disease or defect as his honor instructed you at the time of these killings those are the two things they have to prove and when the police charge somebody with a criminal offence they have an obligation to investigate now at the end of the day when you're talking about well we've got charges are before the court you can sit there in the court you can feel proud of yourself did you do a good investigation do you even know what this you'll see the photograph of the cup and the powder what is it what is it they don't even analyze did they take pictures did they analyze did they test the blood did they lousy investigation well that's okay because she was guilty because she was guilty and they put her in the hospital and she's the evil woman that killed the three innocent kids and they're gonna stand there while she's chained to the bed paralyzed chained to the bed doesn't get up and run away from the hospital I guess and they just have to suffer their way I guess I work I don't know I worked eight hours I had another shift I had to work that night this is the treatment and what's important about that is what kind of treatment did this young lady get from the healthcare providers remember Meg Collins she came in this court Meg you might remember tall woman short blonde hair squared away unbelievable unbelievable she was not only a nurse taking care of her in the hospital she advocated for her she stood up for her patient she protected her during the pandemic you know that Meg Collins was in that emergency room when half of us were hiding at home behind our computers hoping that we're not gonna die in a week drinking that chardonnay at 11 o'clock in the morning Meg Collins was in a hospital treating people and advocating for them that's an example of what nursing is all about not having attitude not treating somebody like they're to be disdained and what's even worse she comes out of a coma she is intubated she has had major major surgery of her broken crushed spine vertebrae rib thyroid massive massive not my words medical records massive testimony blood transfusion for the blood loss and when someone you heard comes out of surgery they are delusional you've had anesthesia you've had a think about having a tooth pulled think about the trauma that somebody has when they're in a hospital bed laying there paralyzed unable to feel the lower half of their body but able to feel with the meds and the pain medication and everything else the damage to the spine then the hospital has a meeting remember the other doctor um I think it was Doctor Shah um the Indian woman wicked impressive she was amazing she was amazing she had the facts she was able to tell you exactly what she observed he was able to tell you what they were doing to treat Lindsay she treated her like a human being she was a damn good doctor came in here and told you all of her observations about her and told you one of the things that ultimately is they had to have this big confabulation about we're gonna take her off the uh you know what is it uh the healthcare process they had to have lawyers they had to have people there they had to have her signing documents whether or not she was gonna be signing something to have her parents take over because Pat was not gonna be responsible for her care lawyers cops handcuffs do I need a lawyer write that down where are you write that down why she wanted a lawyer that's a bad thing must be guilty let's put that in the guilty pile that's why she said that in a delirious state
