Any attorney worth a poo poo would point out that continuing to work in wrestling does not mean you're in full cognizance, and would use Benoit as a precedent, since post death examinations of Benoit's brain had him as basically being in an advanced form of senility. Or use Junior Seau (and dozens of other football players), who seemed perfectly fine right up until he killed himself. I believe he was even working as a reporter or something similar for NFL coverage of some kind at the time.

Also people with dementia are often able to perform activities that they were trained in long after they are super messed up in the brain. My grandfather committed suicide in order to not have to deal with the onset of dementia and even though his brain was already pretty addled he was able to sail a sailing ship well enough to get far enough out to sea to die in peace. I can imagine if you've been wrestling most of your life you can probably still work a match even if you can't do a lot of other stuff.

People with Dementia can also have crystal clear memories of events that happened 40 years ago even if they forget what happened yesterday.

Also it's rather interesting how quickly a person can develop dementia when they're suddenly confronted with their crimes.

He talks about Nancy Argentino on Opie & Jimmy in this video. This contradicts his auto-biography's account of her death, which is why the case was reopened.

He's full of poo poo.

loving :lol: if he's trying to pull the "I am but a simple savage, your world frightens and confuses me" act and is not actually senile

Maybe he could represent himself.

I know it's a convenient excuse for legal cases but I really wouldn't be surprised if the shock and trauma of having their misdeeds revealed hastens the process
