What Anna Stubblefield Believed She Was Doing

quote:

On the day of her sentencing last month, Anna sat before Judge Teare in person, wearing a formless pink jumpsuit and with her hands in chains. Since the trial, her pixie haircut had grown out gray and shaggy. A crowd of friends — mostly fellow travelers in the field of disability studies — watched the hearing from the gallery. A three-person documentary film crew gathered tape from the jury box. “I’m interested in this as a love story,” the director told me later. (Since publishing my article, I have also heard from playwrights, poets and producers. The other day, I met for tea with a composer, who described his plan to render Anna’s story as an opera, with the court transcript as his libretto.)

quote:

Now, Anna’s lawyer tried to make the case that her punishment should be “stepped down” to something less than the minimum 10 years or even made probationary. Three psychologists had attested that she lacked malice and that she exhibited no pattern of deviant sexual behavior. “This is just a woman who grossly miscalculated the intelligence of the person she was involved with,” Patton said.

It was a sharp departure from what Anna said in her letter to the judge. For all her expressions of remorse, she had made it very clear that she did not “miscalculate” D.J.’s intellect. She will not budge — will never budge, perhaps — from her first appraisal: “It became apparent through objective evidence that he was the author of his words and a very intelligent man,” she wrote. “I deeply regret the choices we made in response to that development in our relationship.”

That plural “we” runs throughout the letter, as if Anna could not resist the call to speak for D.J., even when she knew that call had cost her everything. “Had we anticipated his family’s reaction, we would have waited,” she wrote. “He would have talked with his family and pursued emancipation from the guardianship, and I would have used the time to obtain a divorce. That would have been a better path all around.”

quote:

Anna’s 16-year-old daughter, Zoe, also spoke during the sentencing hearing. “My mom is a very good person,” she declared. Zoe’s father, Roger Stubblefield, had been abusive to them, she said, which is why her mother “ran off with a disabled man to begin with.” Zoe described her mother’s kindness and open-mindedness, and the injustice of her prosecution: “She’s like the cleanest, most goody-goody-two-shoes person I’ve ever met. And now she’s gone. Thank you.” When the judge eyed her impassively, she snapped, “Stop looking so bored,” and went back to her seat.

quote:

D.J.’s brother, Wesley (referred to here by his middle name), gave a statement that he wrote ahead of time. He began by saying that his family had been told that D.J. wouldn’t live to see his third birthday and that 34 years later D.J. was a beautiful brother and a beautiful son. Then he recalled the moment at the end of Stubblefield’s trial, when the verdict was announced and Anna cried out, “Who is going to take care of my daughter?” It was as if the question had only just occurred to her, Wesley suggested. It was as if only then had she considered the meaning of the bond between a mother and her child. How else could you explain her actions — “the rape of my brother, the harassment of my family, her condescending attitude toward my mother?”

“She tried to lay claim to him and rename him,” he said of Anna, breaking into sobs. Early in Anna’s relationship with D.J., she started calling him by a nickname — one she said he asked for in his typed-out messages. In her view, this was an act of self-determination. But to Wesley, it was a way of taking ownership, with all the echoes of slavery the word implies.

As an academic — and Wesley’s graduate-school professor — Anna had been a scholar of racial ethics; in one paper, she even wrote that well-meaning white people like her “all too often invade or destroy the space of nonwhite people.” Now Wesley called her out for what he saw as that very behavior. She had tried to overlay her values and her views, he said, on the people she pretended to be helping. “She tried to supplant [D.J.’s] life — a life steeped in the history and culture of his God-fearing, Southern-rooted, African-American family — with some version of life she thought was better.”

It’s time to stop thinking of this case as being “simply strange,” he continued, and imagining Anna as some kind of “tragic she-ro.” (He may have been referring to my article, which was published under the headline “The Strange Case of Anna Stubblefield.”) If the genders were reversed, he said — if D.J. were “Diana” and Anna were “Anthony” — then the details would seem more mundane: a tragic tale of sexual abuse. “Anna is not Sandra Bullock, and this is not ‘The Blind Side,’” he said to the judge. Then, directly to his former teacher: “An able-bodied woman raped a disabled young man that could not consent to sex. You were wrong, Anna. You committed a crime. There is no gray area.” As Wesley spoke, Zoe screamed an expletive at him from the gallery. “You’re a liar!” she shouted as a bailiff pulled her from the courtroom.

"At his request, she said, she pushed down his pants, loosened his diaper and performed oral sex on him. They never finished — ‘‘I was close,’’ D.J. typed — but they had tickets for a disability-­related film festival at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They were going to see ‘‘Wretches & Jabberers,’’ a 2010 documentary about F.C. produced by Douglas Biklen, the founder of the Syracuse institute.

A week later, Anna recalled, the couple tried to have sex in Anna’s office at Conklin Hall, with condoms, a blanket and an exercise mat. It didn’t work, and they ended up just sitting on the floor together, Anna talking and D.J. typing. Anna asked him if he might want to see some pornography, ‘‘to see what things looked like and different positions people used and that sort of thing.’’ She said she wouldn’t want to pay for porn or watch anything offensive, but that she would be O.K. with finding free clips on the Internet that depicted couples engaging in mutually pleasurable intercourse. He demurred, typing out that in his view the women in porn are being exploited, and that, besides, Anna was more beautiful than any porn star, and he really wanted to be thinking only about her when they finally made love."

I'm pretty sure I know exactly what the "impassive" look was. It's the blank stare you effect as you try to displace the anger normally felt when someone lies to your face, because you know from experience that they are a "True Believer", which is to say that they're so committed to their lies they will stick to them even when caught red-handed, and therefore calling them out on it is futile.

At the theatre, D.J. communicated to Anna that she should reach in and get some popcorn from the bottom of the popcorn tub, because as he put it "Ders a supwise down dere!"

I am really fascinated by how someone can obviously know something is wrong, and know that everyone else knows it's wrong, but still cling to the pretense that it's right.

If she actually thought FC worked, she could get out of this entire mess by having another FC wizard come in and demonstrate this vegetable's alleged intelligence and his consent to their "relationship". If it worked, that would work. She'd be able to do that. She hasn't, and to my knowledge she hasn't even tried. She won't, because she knows she can't, because she knows it's bullshit. Any impartial observer can clearly see this, and she must realise that, so why keep pretending it's really true?
