“Convicted of voter fraud, Shorewood man pursues insanity case”

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Asked why he voted five times in the Walker recall election, Monroe replied, “We’re still working on that one.”

Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf suggested much of the worst things Monroe cites came up only after he was charged. Monroe said he was so ashamed of not having done more about the priest misconduct he said he saw at college and earlier at Marquette University High School that he never told his doctors earlier, even while they were treating him for other psychological conditions.

To Monroe’s claim that he didn’t follow politics and wasn’t even a regular voter, Landgraf asked Monroe about several emails and texts he shared with family and friends urging them to vote, inquiring about donating to candidates, requesting an absentee ballot in his son’s name, critiquing unions and getting subscription messages from Americans for Prosperity, a group that supported GOP candidates and issues.

After putting up the notes as exhibits, Landgraf would ask, “Were you in a fugue state when you wrote that?”

Monroe repeatedly said he couldn’t remember any of the emails, and that he didn’t know in most instances if he was in a fugue state, though he called one incident — registering to vote in both Milwaukee and Shorewood on the same day — “classic fugue.”
