Didn't Invoke a Rule 12 Two, the Mental Defect Defence?

The defence didn't formally invoke what's called a rule 12 two, the mental defect defence. And so as a result, it did just become sort of an irrelevant distraction. I personally think she did a lot of damage to her credibility on cross examination when she stubbornly refused, at several junctures, to admit some obvious things. When she took the stand, they had a point em from one to four to rank witnesss credibility and holmes scored just a two. They came off as incredibly unbound and full of integrity that by contrast, erica was not seem as credible.
