Adub: Seeing as Williams consistently needs more time to have his attorneys explain everything to him, maybe he is slow at processing information.
Adub's comment led me to ask someone who would know whether williams is a bit slow on the uptake, low IQ, incompetent. i was told no, he is not incompetent.
but, and this is my guess and based on only my experience with the defense lawyers' tango...i wonder if his lawyer is setting the stage for an 'incompetent to stand trial motion'? casey's shylocks tried that.
you cannot be executed if your IQ is below 70, but that requires a precise medical/clinical evaluation. so next best thing is client is incompetent. psychologists/psychiatrists would still be required. watch for motion for mental eval.
that's only a wild surmise in my fevered brain.
we'll see.
