"Where is My Mind?"

This weekend's [May 25 / 26  2013] Bangor Daily News says judge claimed brain tumor removed lady malingering and faking mental incompetence 'cause she knew her lawyer's name.


All agreed that Jeskey’s memory and cognitive skills have been impaired by the removal of a brain tumor in 2004.

"Baldacci also said that he was unaware of any other recent case in which a judge had found a defendant competent but committed that person to a psychiatric hospital."

"Murray also cited how Jeskey was able to recall the name of Joseph Baldacci, one of two Bangor attorneys representing her, as a sign of her competence to stand trial."

"'A striking display of [Jeskey’s] cognitive abilities was [her] ability to remember that one her attorneys has the same last name as a former governor, and using this memory-aiding mechanism, Ms. Jeskey was eventually able to remember attorney Baldacci’s name. This is another indication that Ms. Jeskey has memory and reasoning capabilities.'"

"Joseph Baldacci is the younger brother of former Gov. John Baldacci."
