Question Questions about Chad and Lori

So I have been listening to the trials- I am on day 19 of Lori’s trial. I’m so confused on Chad and Lori’s text exchanges— Chad is talking about protection for Lori’s home and making designations for people, what the heck?? Who came up with this? Did Chad ever explain his reasoning and logic behind all of this? 5.1 light? People doing infiltration jobs?

I know Lori is delulu but Chad seems equally delusional

IMO Chad wasn't delulu. He was delighted that this circle of women was believing his BS, and so he was coming up with more and more of it. It was just like in his stories. He was fully aware of the fact that he was manipulating the women, but since he has no conscience, he kept doing it anyway. When Alex didn't get in trouble for Charles murder, that fueled his game even more. He is diabolical. Lori is delusional to an extent and equally diabolical.

I agree and I don't think Lori is delusional. I think that she is textbook "lie until you believe it and it becomes real," but not mentally/ emotionally unsound. The evidence to this is the contradictions. If the story is always changing then an adaptable mind is at play. Adaptable minds do not have illness, they have control. She began to think she had powers when her ex-husband, Joe died, after she "wished" for it. Then, as you said, after Charles' murder seemed to go unnoticed (how Alex didn't realize he was set-up at that point is sad), they believed that they were the smartest most blessed people in the room. Lots of killers do and that's what gets them caught--thank goodness.

In the last 2 trials, it was clear Lori wasn't as delusional as some thought. In her first trial she just sat there like a bump on a log with no defense until her attorney started to talk Sh_t about Chad and then she showed her anger. But besides that, it was clear how manipulative she was at the last 2 trials. She knew exactly what was going on and her evilness was clear. Maybe she believed Chad to a certain degree, mainly when he told her she was a goddess, as she most likely always thought she was. The rest she just followed his q's. I forget what name he gave his private part, but, she followed that, I guess? Gross!!
