I am actually an abuse survivor. My stepmother went to jail for beating the crap out of me when I was 17, and she was charged and convicted of domestic violence. I just got divorced and I was in an 8 year abusive relationship and believe it or not, I was diagnosed with PTSD and GAD (since I...

I think those were the Judge's instructions for the jury not to speak to her.

Just an observation. Juror #5 publically stated that she does not want to in any way interfere with the proceedings, that it isn't about her. But she also have to know that her becoming visible in the courtroom opens her up to the media and could her presence there be considered distracting...

Agreed. :) I do think though it will be brought in during the penalty phase.

Hi there <3 I am so sorry about what's happening. I am not sure I have any words to console you other than you are absolutely amazing parents and your daughter is blessed to have patient and loving parents to help her along her way. Sometimes, people say: "Everything happens for a...

As more of JA's parents' tapes are being released, I think it's obvious now that they were/are heartbroken. Aaaack! Where are the tapes in their entirety! Is HLN holding them and just releasing bits? And where are the 600 journal entries that they are now showing?

http://forensis.org/PDF/published/2007_AntisocialPerso.pdf This scholastic article is about treating those (or the inability to treat) with ASPD & or Psycopothy. I think this analysis is useful because it discusses the criterion for ASPDs and there is a direct correlation between ASPD and the...

Me too. Poor guy. And even though JAs mom said they really didn't have a relationship and that JA would call and scream at her a lot, it does at least say something that she is there, everyday. Are there any uncut versions of their interviews that you know of?

LaViolette is sick. Court is at recess until tomorrow.........

I feel bad for her family and parents. Could you imagine, being that she has ASPD, how incredibly difficult it would be to deal with her? They seemed reasonable enough and honest. Unless there is evidence to do so, I personally think it's not fair to judge and attack the families of the...

I completely agree with you. I really resonate with your analysis. Yes, it's very haunting. And weird. Sorry, my vocabulary has failed me when it comes to describing her. That one statement and the noises she makes in that room are so chilling and bizarre. I have thought the same thing...

Crazy.

Jodi Arais has way more problems than just being a Narcisist. She has (most likely) an Anti-Social PD. This video clip gives me the chills. I do think she would kill again. It's truly haunting. I wonder though, is she speaking to Travis or Flores? I can see reasons for both...

My point is: That juror misconduct (if true & this juror is not removed) could (would) jeopardize a conviction and strengthen an appeal. I don't think there will be a mistrial. Hopefully they can move on :furious: So, if what the other jurors said is true, she should be removed. Not for JA's...

Thanks MeeBee :takeabow: :goodpost: I agree completely :)

I appreciate you saying this because I was a juror once and was elected foreman-- and we took our oath very seriously. It is honorable to uphold the oath you take as a juror and if you cannot keep that oath or your mouth shut, then you shouldn't continue. If this was missed and somehow came...

I'm confused. Why didn't you not appreciate this article? For me, it answered a lot of questions regarding the theory of JA personality disorders. I also think the author offered many facts about why JA isn't Borderline, but in fact, Anit-social. After reading the article, did the author...

And I do suggest to anyone, to watch her interrogation tapes, from 07/15-07/16. Long but very telling. Yes. A lot is frustrating. But purely from a psychological standpoint it is interesting and informative, especially knowing what we know now. It's an interesting study.

Thanks :blushing: To err is Human... I personally have had to equivocate a few times but rational minds have prevailed, hopefully. I see no reason why there cannot be somewhat of an objective discussion. That's how we all learn. If everyone comes in screaming and are for the same thing, that's...
