Defense attorneys questioned Madison McDonald's mother about her mental illnesses for hours on Monday.
[Defense Attorney: "Did her paranoia focus around the girls?"]"Some of the fears she expressed included the fact that we, and I would assume Chris and myself and mostly myself were trying to take her money and take the girls. There were also thoughts that she had been put up on a human trafficking site," Kidd said.
Jurors also saw a videotaped interview with McDonald. She explained some of her claims and various episodes she suffered. "Everything was normal, I just felt weird. I was really out of it, but that was normal for this episode," said McDonald. McDonald's mother told jurors she had multiple personalities, each with names she's given them. She also described the overall challenge of her daughter's mental illness."Yes you can’t go through something like this and not wonder if you should have done something else," said Kidd.
The defense continues its case Tuesday morning. The judge told the jury she expects both sides will rest their cases by tomorrow.
