Gee, do you think?
CROWN POINT | A Gary man convicted of murdering an Indiana state trooper has "an abnormally functioning brain," an expert witness testified Saturday.
Dr. Michael Gelbort, a clinical neuropsychologist with offices in Joliet and Chicago, told jurors he administered a series of nonmedical tests to Darryl Jeter over a four-hour period in December 2005 at the Lake County Jail and determined he has frontal lobe impairment.
People with damage to that part of the brain, he said, "act before they think."
Note that these were "nonmedical tests" in which the doctor "asked Jeter about his family history and medical history, but did not corroborate his statements by speaking to family members or attempting to obtain any medical records." Lot of credibility there.

It makes me wonder WHEN the *newest* words are added to the next edition of the Oxford dictionary....will the word "DUH" be included???
Seems MOST apropos.

I guess having an "abnormally functioning brain" is a couple degrees worse than just being an average "frickin' idiot". The high brow diagnosis doesn't change what we've known all through history. A certain percentage of people are evil, there's another percentage that's simply stupid, and another that's violent, another that's hell bent on placing their reproductive organs anywhere but where they are supposed to put them, and the list goes on and on. Might I humbly suggest we fix this guys frontal lobe problem with one clean shot?
