I think that cuts both ways though. The "confession" is a joke but his performance on the stand isn't convincing either. Whatever he says at any point can't be taken to be the truth.

His IQ is around 70. That's borderline learning disabled. Of course his performance isn't convincing - he's traumatised by the process, doesn't understand what's happening, and is easily manipulable.

An IQ at that level is considered intellectually disabled. Nothing borderline about it.

But, that's completely different than learning disabled - you can have a very high IQ and have disabilities like dyslexia.

I'm in the UK and our definitions are different, so thanks for the clarification.

Indeed but he can be manipulated by his family and his lawyers just as easily as by the investigators. He simply can't be relied upon so you have to look at the evidence instead.

Based on that I don't think he's guilty, there is really nothing to tie him to the crime and to believe he would be able to clean up any traces is just ridiculous.

Him being on the stand was one of the most suspenseful parts of the show for me, since I was wondering if the prosecutor was going to make him start doing a false confession again.
