LEAGUE CITY Defense attorneys Wednesday attacked the validity of a videotaped confession, saying their bipolar client was off her medication and high on cocaine and ecstasy when she told police she had strangled her mother.
Erin Ashlyn Moffatt, 20, admitted during her interview with League City police that she strangled her mother, Jana S. Moffatt, 47, and helped dump her body in a Brazoria County oil field.
During the second day of testimony in Moffatts murder trial, defense attorney G. Byron Fulk questioned Cory Beyer, the lead investigator in the case.
During her interview, Moffatt agreed to speak to investigators without an attorney, but she said the word lawyer. Fulk said his client asked for legal representation, but the interview continued.
Moffatt, who used drugs and worked at a strip club, had only a ninth-grade education and suffered from bipolar disorder, testimony revealed.
