I brought it up as a part of the story, and I worked to be sensitive on the matter. My reply to you was actually quite mild. Cool it.

I can understand that a in a court of a law, attorney’s working (in good faith?) on the part of their client will often (IMHO) ignore the law and use rhetoric alluding to morality to persuade the jury. You are right that the pregnancy might be used to show mental instability. For which a psych eval would be needed. Her defense will most likely rely on the cost of the attorney she can afford.

Either way, it will be the difference between life in prison or the death penalty —no?

Using chemical weapons of mass destruction against the POTUS (I am assuming that ricin is a WMD) is about the least defendable crime I can think of. It’s right up there with my hot button topics.
