Interesting. Defense isn't even arguing that he did it. They are going for the "he is a retard" defense and want the jury to let him go so he can spend some time in a hospital.

Defense is even trotting out the "his family has a history of mental illness" line. Are all mental illnesses hereditary? Does the family history matter or is that just a red herring?

The poop eating was deliberate and probably negates any past mental delusions.

Travis Boys, the man accused of shooting and killing NOPD police officer Daryle Holloway, had a competency hearing Thursday, one day after he smeared feces on his head and face and ate the feces in court Wednesday.

His attorneys recalled Wednesday's events and said he needed medical care and was asking for medication for an eye infection. Boys told them his eye was throbbing and painful.

He was given a medication. He remained in chambers, but was slumped over and not involved.
When they returned to court, his attorneys say they smelled something and saw Boys smearing feces on his head and face and eating feces from his fingers. His attorney quickly obstructed the view from jurors and the judge ordered everyone out of courtroom.

His attorneys tried to speak with him about what was happening and Boys later told them that he could see them talking, but couldn't hear what he was saying. He continued to eat his feces and occasionally asked for a drink of water.

The defense lawyers can only work with what they have. If there was a shred of chance this guy was innocent, they’d argue that.

That's taking recycling a bit too far!


Or is he taking the saying "Eat shite and Die" literal?

A few jurors were rolling their eyes during defense opening when he was being portrayed as a scared mentally retarded child.

That must be fun as a defense attorney when the jurors are already calling bullshite on your opening statements.

Seems like they are trying to suggest mitigating circumstances.

It seems the go to for cop killers now is that they’re either retarded or mentally ill. Either way they need to be put down.

It's not capital. They are going for not guilty by reason of insanity.
