Jessica Smith murdered her 2-year old toddler by drowning her, and then attacked her 13-year old daughter with a knife at a hotel in Cannon Beach, Oregon.
(the teenager, who suffered cuts to her throat and wrists, is now living with her father)
The incident occurred just before she was suppose to let the children’s father visit them (she had been denying him visits, claiming the children didn’t want to see him). She had tried to get a restraining order against her ex-husband but was denied.
Oh the irony.
It now appears that Smith is looking for the insanity plea. Even though a psychologist declared she is mentally fit to stand trial, her sleazy lawyers (Lynne B. Morgan and William Falls), claim otherwise.
Oh really? So now Morgan is both
The judge fell for the ruse and said Smith could meet with another psychologist. On the day of, Smith feigned a mental breakdown in front of the sergeant for the Tillamook County Sheriff (where she is being held).
According to the sergeant, Brandon Roberts, Smith was “incoherent” and was “lying in a fetal position on her bunk bed, sobbing and clutching a white cotton blanket that she had folded into a ‘"baby-sized bundle ... as you would a small infant,’''
Really? Who would write something so contrived? Either the sergeant is an idiot, or maybe Smith offered to sleep with him if he gets her off the hook.
Roberts also reported that she is “solemn” and “disturbed” and “shows signs of depression”.
Well, I won’t argue with the ‘Disturbed’ part. But that’s putting it mildly.
