BRAIN INJURY AND NUDITY 10/15/06

A traumatic brain injury is being trotted out as a partial explanation for the reason why a prosecutor was strolling through the Government Services Building in Cincinnati naked during the nighttime. His attorney asserted that the prosecutor had a mental illness, epilepsy, and a traumatic brain injury from a car accident. Apparently he was naked during the car accident too.

A defense attorney who knows him and who was quoted in the article was surprised. Scott Blauvelt was just a regular sort of guy. Nothing bizarre about him at all. Except perhaps that that he might have been driving around naked when he had that car accident back in 2005.

To be fair, the article was not clear as to whether that car accident was the car accident that left him with his tbi. Nor did it say whether the epilepsy was caused by the tbi or what kind of seizures he had or has. Scott Blauvelt's attorney, whose name is Mike Gmoser, claims that Blauvelt is being punished because of his medical conditions.

The prosecutor is currently on paid administrative leave from his job. He makes 70K annually. He is facing two counts of public indecency, one for each incident that the security cameras caught on tape. He also had a pre-disciplinary hearing on Wednesday October 11th.

More will be revealed? Maybe, maybe not.

sapphoq says: For 70K a year, I myself would have found other places to stroll around naked. Temporal lobe epilepsy can cause some strange sensations. Viewing those tapes had to have been a strange sensation, that is for sure. Legally, defendants are entitled to the best defense possible under the law. Traditionally, I suspect that involves lieing-- or at the very least, being reckless with the truth.
sapphoq's verdict: The prosecutor is using mental illness, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury as a cover-up. Looking for a rational explanation to irrational desires expressed in irrational behavior leads to this kind of stuff.

I appreciate your recognition to the role that these criminals are trying to play...ITS GUT WRENCHING to me because in the matter of the murder of Apineru " Chico" Sua, he was a dear friend of mine. This man claims to have had brain trauma....and to think that he may get away with murdering my friend makes me sick!
When I stumbled upon your website, i was given hope that maybe, just maybe, there are people out there that realize what this mans intentions are???
He is using a bump on the head to get away with murder!!!!
Your support is greatly appreciated! Keep up the good work.

I too stumbled across this site.
My brother has had his TBI for 2 months [frontal lobe], he is now
being kicked out of his rehab- hospital. He is to disruptive they say. He has even become violent and suicidal. He is 36, has no money and his Medicaid is still pending. We were told today that he will be dropped off
at our door step soon, and that we should call the police, so they can send him to a mental facility.
TBI HURTS EVERYONE INVOLVED. My bro
is fine except for his sever mental/emotional problems. He doesn't need to be in jail!!!!
Yeah, it's GUT WRENCHING to me
too my friend! THIS SUCKS!!! :o(
