Lock this bitch up. Let the lesbians have her.

The nurse facing murder charges for the fiery Los Angeles crash
that killed five and an unborn child was in the midst of a
“frightening” mental health crisis and may have lost
consciousness at the time of the crash, according to court
documents filed Wednesday.

The filings describe Nicole Linton’s four-year struggle with
bipolar disorder and a determination by doctors that the nurse
had an “apparent lapse of consciousness” at the time of the
crash.

“Mental incapacitation and unconsciousness are, of course,
complete defenses to crimes under California law,” Linton’s
attorneys note.

The filings also revealed that a fully naked Linton FaceTimed
her sister during her lunch break, which she was driving back
from when she caused the deadly wreck.

Linton, a 37-year-old traveling nurse from Houston is accused of
traveling nearly 90 mph when the car she was driving blew
through a stoplight on Aug. 4 and struck at least five other
cars, setting at least three on fire.

Asherey Ryan, who was pregnant, died in the crash, as did her 11-
month-old son Allonzo, and her boyfriend Reynold Lester. The
family was reportedly heading to a prenatal checkup at the time
of the collision.

The filings do not go into great detail regarding Linton’s
struggles with bipolar disorder, save to dispute a prosecutorial
claim that she had a history of “jumping on police cars” and
“jumping out of windows.”

The defense argued each of these happened only once, and — with
an attached affidavit from Linton’s sister describing a 2019
manic episode — said the window in question was on the ground
floor.

Linton’s defense also pushed back on early reports that Linton
had had a long history of motor vehicle accidents and a claim by
prosecutors that Linton had totaled two cars in a 2020 crash.

Her attorneys Wednesday said those reports were false.

“A fifty-state comprehensive search of insurance records reveals
that Ms. Linton has no such history,” Linton’s lawyers wrote.
“In fact, Ms. Linton was determined to be at fault in only three
prior collisions, the most recent of which occurring in 2014.”

“As for the 2020 collision offered to the Court in support of
preventive detention, the claim against Ms. Linton was
effectively withdrawn, being settled for $0,” the attorneys
continued. “Photos of the damage to the so-called ‘totaled’
vehicles involved are not the least bit indicative of speeding
or reckless driving.”

The filing, in advance of an expected Wednesday hearing, seeks
to have Linton released to the custody of a mental health
facility.

Linton appeared in court on Wednesday but the judge decided to
continue the hearing to Sept. 12 to allow prosecutors time to
respond to Linton’s bail motion. The former nurse remains at the
Downtown Los Angeles Twin Towers Correctional Facility under a
“no bail” hold.

“Specifically, Ms. Linton would be most appropriately housed in
a mental health treatment facility where she can be monitored
and treated for her illness under conditions that would
significantly mitigate any risk to the public and the integrity
of the proceedings before the Court,” her attorneys wrote. “She
has no criminal record and no history of reckless driving,
harming others, or disobeying court orders.”

There are still photos online that captured the image of a
Mercedes just before it entered the intersection and crashed.
There is clearly something protruding out of and above the
driver's side window that looks like possibly a stick with
something on the end. How would that evidence square with "loss
of consciousness?"

If she had a known medical condition that causes loss of
consciousness she shouldn’t have been driving in the first
place. Her actions were preventable she needs to face the
consequences.
