I'm not buying this so-called ādefenseā for one second.
Even if every single one of her claims is true, none of these things is an excuse for what she did.
She has enough intelligence to get a law degree and to pass the bar. She knew exactly what she was going when she committed this crime.

A left-wing lawyer who pleaded guilty to firebombing a police cruiser is asking for a commutation of her sentence, pointing to the fact that she was inebriated at the time of the offense and coping with āunprocessed trauma,ā according to court filings.
Attorneys for Urooj Rahman argue the self-described human-rights activist was ānumb, disassociated, and inebriatedā when she threw a Molotov cocktail into a New York City police car during the George Floyd riots in May 2020. Lawyers say Rahman was also reeling from her many āabusive partnership relationshipsā and processing āearly traumaā from being taunted as a Muslim after 9/11.
Since their arrest, Rahman and Mattis have won the sympathy of national media and liberal elites. New York magazine, NPR, and other outlets have run favorable profiles of the two. Rahman has remained under house arrest with electronic monitoring since June 2020, when a former Obama administration intelligence official helped post her $250,000 bail.
Rahman and Mattis say they have each been diagnosed with anxiety and depression, for which they have received psychiatric care. Both have also been treated for alcoholism.
A clinical psychologist who analyzed Rahman at the behest of her attorneys said the defendant ābeneath her surface functionality is gravely compromised.ā Rahman, she says, has two therapists, regularly attends meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous, and is prescribed an array of psychiatric medications.
