What would be a good defense for y som-in-law wrongly accused by my daugther

TRUTH IS A GOOD DEFENSE IN THIS CASE, BECAUSE YOUR DAUGHTER'S MENTAL IMPAIRMENT WOULD BE A DEFENSE TO A CHARGE OF MALICIOUS PROSECUTION. IN OTHER WORDS, HAVE HER TELL THE POLICE SHE WAS IN A DISORIENTED, CONFUSED STATE WHEN SHE MADE THE CHARGE, AND NOW REALIZES SHE WAS DISORIENTED AND CONFUSED. IF SHE TAKES PRESCRIPTION MEDS AND DIDN'T TAKE THEM AS PRESCRIBED SHE WOULD ENTER A DISORIENTED STATE, AND FALSE, RECKLESS CLAIMS LIKE THE ONE YOU DESCRIBE COULD RESULT. THE FACT SHE WAS MENTALLY IMPAIRED WILL NEGATE THE INTENT REQUIREMENT FOR A MALICIOUS PROSECUTION CHARGE.

IF SHE'S UNDER A DOCTOR'S CARE - A PSYCHIATRIST'S IN THIS CASE - A LETTER OF EXPLANATION FROM THEM TO THE AUTHORITIES WOULD HELP ADD CREDENCE TO HER EXPLANATION. SIMPLY EXPLAINING THE MEDICATION SHE'S ON AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF HER NOT TAKING IT AS PRESCRIBED WOULD - SHOULD - ALL BUT PUT THIS SITUATION BEHIND YOUR SON-IN-LAW.

I WORKED AS A MENTAL HEALTH THERAPY AIDE FOR THREE YEARS WHILE GOING TO COLLEGE AND AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE DECOMPENSATION THAT OCCURS WHEN PSYCHIATRIC PATIENTS STOP TAKING THEIR REQUIRED MEDS. AT THAT POINT VIRTUALLY ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, SO THE ANECTDOTES YOU DESCRIBE DO NOT SURPRISE ME AT ALL. GET YOUR DAUGHTER COMPENSATED - I.E. - BACK ON HER MEDS - AND SUGGEST THIS TO HER. GOOD LUCK!
