Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - Day 23

[Nikki In Denver]

Talk about immature, Willmott's cross of Dr. DeMarte was embarrassing. Based on the recent sidebar transcripts, JW may be even worse now.

Where are the sidebar transcripts? TIA! [emoji4]

Must have been due to ineffective counsel. :innocent: Those who participated overnight will understand. :angel:

No hold on, now I feel left out like I missed the inside joke. :tantrum:

Good morning all! Court at 10am Phoenix time?

Plus she doesn't spill carp all over her materials!

I think the water-spilling was purposeful, part of Geffner's affable, clumsy professor schtick. I don't expect he'll be at all combative with JM like Dr. Fonseca so unwisely was.

Good morning all! Court at 10am Phoenix time?

Supposedly starting at 9:30 Phoenix time. However, we all know how court time really works so more than likely it will start at 10 or maybe even 10:30.

Is it finally Juan's turn with Dr. G or does Jenny have more questions for him?? It has been a month since Dr. G. last testified.

I don't know - I've lost track.

I popped in over the break to keep an eye out for a new Nurmi stonewall motion, and read the posts. I found I was unable to gather up the mental energy to respond. I'm so sick of this vindictive psychopath/sociopath, and her hypocritical defence team. Just put her away!!

JA's "secret" testimony, recently released.

If I’m a juror for a trial where I am going to decide if a person is going to be put to death or spend the rest of their life in prison I don’t want folksy I want professional.

Refreshing the page usually brings it back .... temporarily. :sigh:

Good morning all! Court at 10am Phoenix time?

Trial is to resume on 1/20/15 at 9:30 a.m

Good Morning everyone. Hoping today is at least somewhat productive and that Juan will have a chance to cross the non-expert witness, and here's hoping the defense hasn't dreamed up more shenanigans to toss at the court.

You're welcome Sometimes if I hit the refresh button it will work, but after awhile I just tired/lazy and just don't want to do it :/

Geffner edited a book of ALV, that is all I need to know about him even before he opined one word. Juan Martinez thoroughly discredited him the first time. This time, having reversed his opinions on BPD, I almost feel sorry for him, the cross is going to be of biblical proportions. Again to quote my Gram, " He will mop the floor with him".


Geffner was called to the stand to make it appear to the jury that Dr. DeMarte had a VERY poor understanding of her work. It turned out it was Geffner who had his own research all confused, remember the floating profile exchange? It was brutal. Then Dr. Jill Hayes took the stand to say, respectfully......Dr. Geffner didn't even have the correct Dr. he was trying to quote correct. In the end Geffner was just someone the jury laughed at was my take on it. He was the classic hired gun who would seem to say anything for the side that was paying him.

All of the above, plus, Dr DeMarte was prepared for her testimony on the stand whereas the defense "experts" failed to bring the needed material/equipment for their testimony. I honestly doubt the jury is going to be impressed with someone being "folksy" when the witness is supposed to be an expert testifying to things of their field of "expertise".

MOO

The thing is, the decision of each juror whether or not to show mercy is entirely subjective and entirely independent of what other jurors believe. Jurors can find mitigation in anything presented, whether listed as a mitigator or not, referred to as mitigating or not.

Ultimately, to show mercy or not is more a matter of the heart than of the mind.

Strip everything else away and jurors are just average people watching and listening to other persons on the stand who are attempting not just to explain, but to convince.

I'm a know- it -all intellectual who appreciates and respects knowledgeable experts in just about any field. DeMarte clicks for me because she is a bird of the same feather. I'm also quite aware that many of my fellow average American citizens can find this kind of bird annoying, irritating, and or presumptuous.

I'm not saying DeMarte can't pull it off. Just saying that in matters of the heart it helps if one connects at an emotional level as well as at the rational.
