| Ex-astronaut planning insanity defense | |
| 2007-08-28 | |
Another First for America's space program...
I think she's hoping Lindsay and Paris and Britt get trashed some night soon and crash into a carload of nuns... Nowak suffered from major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, insomnia and "brief psychotic disorder with marked stressors," defense attorney Donald Lykkebak wrote. ...I was off my meds, I lost my keys, the dog ate my homework, I found Jesus in rehab, there was a terrible storm! He said the already-petite woman had also recently lost 15 percent of her body weight and struggled with "marital separation." Sounds like she could use the Club Gitmo Diet... "This notice does not challenge competence to stand trial, but only raises insanity at the time of the offense," he wrote. She was nuts, your honor. She's not anymore. Nowak, 44, was charged with attempted kidnapping, battery and burglary with assault after allegedly driving nearly 1,000 miles from Houston to Orlando to confront Colleen Shipman, the girlfriend of a former space shuttle pilot Nowak had been involved with. Yeah, whatever happened to Commander Studmuffin? Nowak, who was dismissed from the astronaut corps a month after her arrest, has pleaded not guilty. Her trial is set for September. Turn in your keys to the Space Shuttle and your decoder ring. You're through... Lykkebak wrote that two Texas psychiatrists would testify that Nowak was legally insane at the time of the alleged attack. Crazy? Oh, yes. Crazy...for love! | |
