But “Neurolaw” Sounded So Good When They Explained It On Fresh Air!
By the way, that trendy “neurolaw”-based defense turned out to fail in the end:
The jury in State Supreme Court in Manhattan rejected the defense argument that [douchebag] was delusional and so mentally ill that he lacked the intent to commit a crime.
He was convicted of 10 counts of kidnapping, burglary, robbery and sexual abuse — every charge against him except arson. He faces 25 years to life in prison on the most serious charge, kidnapping, at his sentencing, set for next month.
The verdict, which came after the jury had deliberated for barely four hours, was an uncommonly swift finish to a three-week trial. The jury began considering the charges about 12:30 p.m. and sent a note announcing its verdict to Justice Thomas Farber at 4:23 p.m.
