Wonder if she can diagnose lying, concealing the truth while speaking and subversion.Doctor diagnoses MT, whom she's never met, as conversationally proficient. Mid-level.
I hope she is not suggesting that people who speak (and presumably think) in Venezuelan Spanish don’t have the ability to correctly recall and express events in which they were actively involved.Defense witness, Dr. Miriam. Northwestern U. Professor. Communication Science and Disorders, Psychology. Psycholinguist.
"The language we speak impacts the way we think". ...how we remember.... cognitive function... the affect of bilingualism on cognition.
Great question for cross!Wonder if she can diagnose lying, concealing the truth while speaking and subversion.
I thought the same thing.If im on the jury, Im tuning out now. 5 minutes.
Nope, different expert....that's the one we NEED HERE imo.Wonder if she can diagnose lying, concealing the truth while speaking and subversion.
I haven’t heard MT speak in an extended Spanish language conversation, and would like to know if, when she speak in that language, she also uses those kinds of pauses.I don't think this witness is totally off-base. That said, MT has had a business and on-line presence and was the marketing person for Fore. She seemed to do well for herself. She was able to speak water-skiing language and snow-skiing language but I am sure those languages are less stressful than the language she learned with FD in moving to murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
She probably has disfluency in murder and conspiracy language which is why we saw the errr. emmmm, etc. I would guess if she took the stand today she probably has lost proficiency purposefully.
Lots of ELLs should hire her to get out of legal charges based on the stress of being a Language Learner. This thought process will transform the legal system around the world.
Got it, thanks.The deal would have to come from the State (or be submitted to State for review and approval if I understand the process properly) and I'm not seeing how this happens at this point.
I think the plea deal ship has sailed for KM and he is simply waiting for his trial to be scheduled.
KM had 2 long interviews with LE and perhaps deal was discussed but nothing happened and State it seems walked away from him.
Its not over until its over so perhaps State is seeing how the MT trial goes before making a final decision on KM.
MOO
BAM!SO she spoke with FD in English, correct? She retrieved in English what happened in English including her alibi list. Had she been interviewed in Spanish, according to this expert she might have been MORE faulty in her retrieval. Helpful to State. MOO.
