I don't think they would go with "Chris made it all up" after they already have tested that Chris is mentally fit for the courts in the first place.
Why? The two have nothing to do with each other.
The bar for not being mentally fit for court is so incredibly low, that if you have a pulse you’re basically standing trial.
(It was more of a formality/closing appeal options than anything else.)
There is absolutely no reason why Chris can’t be mentally fit for court AND at the same time also constantly make up crazy stories for attention and being too dumb to realize that one of them could get him in legal trouble.
Trust me, there are plenty of tards way dumber/crazier than him who are found mentally fit for court.
To go that route would imply that Chris *isn't* mentally sound which they've already ruled out.
Just to clear up a point of misunderstanding. You can be mentally ill, even having a full blown psychosis, and still be found mentally fit for trial.
So no, going the route of Chris NOT being mentally sound (which really, would be kinda hard to keep away from the jury, lol!) isn’t a dealbreaker.
If it's going this far, they already have some sort of evidence that Chris can be brought up on a felony. They don't just hand those out based on word of mouth.
Not really. Grand juries tend to go along with whatever the prosecution says.
“Evidence” doesn’t necessarily mean “good evidence” or “evidence strong enough for conviction”.
And of course there’s a good possibility that the grand jury is more of a formality and part of a plea bargain. IF there was a deal made where Chris pleads guilty to something and gets time served plus probation, he can’t plead on a misdemeanor. He needs to go into big boy court that handles felonies. And that means taking it before a grand jury first.
think we should also keep in mind that in VA, being trans will possibly outweigh Chris' autism as well.
That’s again something for his defense to manage. If Chris shows up wearing a dress and screaming about pronouns? No, it won’t be good.
If he shows up in a polo and Khakis and gets explain why he calls himself Christine and yada yada “The one time I tried to grow a labia blah blah bineural
Beats and muh breasts!” Then it just kinda cements Chris as a deeply eccentric weirdo who might do shit like lie about wincest.
