She doesn't have a current defense in the court. The defense in court is all that matters in the trial, not media. The prosecution is presenting the evidence right now, she will have her turn afterwards.

Huh? I don't even know what this means. According to you her defense is "that she was not of sane state of mind at the time". Maybe you can post another npr link that explains what you mean by no current defense in court.

The "Balwani abused me and I had diminished mental capacity" is her planned defense in court as stated in the NRP article.

At the trial right now (in court), her lawyers hasn't presented that defense yet. Right now the trial is in the first step, the prosecution/state presenting their case. Once the prosecution/state rests their case, the defense begin present their case (at this point they will present their "Balwami abused me argument".
