It was supposed to be Sat/Sun/Mon
4 or so inches a day...
but they changed it to snow showers for Sat/Sun
and who knows how much on Mon....
Whew!
I don't care. I work Sat/Sun and off Mon..thank goodness.
JM isn't personally disrespectful, though. If he wants an expert witness to look bad, he uses their stuff against them, like ALV with the Snow White whatever Juan was trying to say....
Hi Elaine,
VVhat is this vvino that you speak of? Just vvondering . . .

Arias is mentally competent. There is a big difference between being diagnosed with a mental illness and being mentally incompetent. In other words, mental illnesses vary in severity. Only the most severe, the psychoses, would make one mentally incompetent and thus not qualified for the death penalty.
The statement by her defense attorneys might be a preview of what we can expect them to argue at retrial. They might try and argue that she is mentally ill and should be spared the death penalty. Can having borderline personality disorder spare you from the death penalty? By itself no, unless you were also psychotic at the time. No expert witnesses have claimed that Jodi was at any time psychotic.
In the case of mental illness and the death penalty the Task Force has made the following second recommendation:
“Defendants should not be executed or sentenced to death if, at the time of the offense, he or she had a severe mental disorder or disability that significantly impaired their capacity (a) to appreciate the nature, consequences, or wrongfulness of their conduct; (b) to exercise rational judgment in relation to conduct; or (c) to conform their conduct to the requirements of the law. A disorder manifested primarily by repeated criminal conduct or attributable solely to the voluntary use of alcohol or other drugs does not, standing alone, constitute a mental disorder or disability for purposes of this provision.”
In the second recommendation, the Task Force is focused on the term severe with regard to mental illness. Severe refers to the most serious disorders, including schizophrenia, or other psychotic disorders, mania, major depressive disorder, and dissociative disorders. On rare occasions, personality disorders may be considered severe but only if there is a psychotic component.
In the majority of cases personality disorders are excluded from death penalty exemptions. With regard to borderline personality disorder, those diagnosed “can experience psychotic like symptoms… during times of stress” but these symptoms can only be considered if they occurred at the time of the capital offense. That was not the case with Jodi Arias.

My best guess is a foundation-type affidavit for the Modsnip McGee "Time to Vent" post, which was filed at the same time. I still can't figure out why any of this would be filed at all, though.
Exactly! I didn't want to write my REAL prediction because it would have been so negative. Now we can use my Feb. 5 prediction, based on its very positiveness, as evidence of pretty much any damn thing we want as long as it's negative!

I remember a lot of people talking about Wilmott's comment when that happened in the first trial, but I think time has given me a new perspective on this.
Could it be that JW was just talking out loud about what a b¡tch it is to search for the papers Dr.D wanted to see?
I don't know why I didn't see it that way two years ago, but that's how I see it as now anyway. Still, I wouldn't put it past JW to think it of Dr. D
edited to add: Had JW said "what a pain in the @ss" under her breath instead, would she have been talking about Dr. D, or having to look for papers?
Another excellent recap, including a number of fully explained points which were never conveyed in the tweets. The other day (?) there was a discussion regarding how he's managing to "record" all this info, and leaving some to wonder about his accuracy.
In one of his posts--or perhaps in the comment section--he made mention that he uses a smart pen. I've been considering getting one for my daughter before she heads off to college. Finding out he uses one just may have pushed me closer to purchasing one.
Hope it's ok to post link

Thanks, tsitra01
I wrote a reply to your post but that too, went poof. Don't know if the problem is my computer or the website.
I'm so sorry to read about your loss. My heart goes out to you--truly. For what it's worth, my much adored older sister suddenly died a few months ago and I'm still trying to deal with her death. I wonder if that is why some or even many of us are members here--we're trying to wrap our minds around the bad s**t that life arbitrarily throws at us.
Rest assured, however, that we have known genuine love. We've given our heart to others and had the love reciprocated. Big hugs to you.
