- Vespasian 7y agoThe comment I replied to complained that the court did not consider that Wright is a "pathological liar" who constantly seeks attention. The order makes it clear that the court did consider this... against Wright. The Judge writes "During his testimony, Dr. Wright’s demeanor did not impress me as someone who was telling the truth. When it was favorable to him, Dr. Wright appeared to have an excellent memory and a scrupulous attention to detail. Otherwise, Dr. Wright was belligerent and evasive." That does not sound like someone unable to understand what he is saying.
