Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - Day 37

[Tiki]

MOO Geff is picking and choosing between symptoms and applying them to make them fit what the DT wants...very confusing...by tweet especially.
I have PTSD - what he's saying is mostly wrong

#JodiArias has a long standing of depression.

So if Geff didn't use the test correctly, as he admitted (administered this "not in a standard way" ), then DrD. was correct in her assessment that he didn't use the test correctly even though she had only read about administering it? (did that make sense to anyone but me?)

Could some of the media tell us what the jurors are doing? Are they bored? Are they paying attention?

BK reported earlier that many of them were taking notes while Geffner was listing reasons he disagrees with DeMarte.

Someone had a good point...why didn't #jodiarias "space out" while she was testifying for 18 days on the witness stand? #3tvarias

cause it was all about he jodi show of course

 

[Kamille]

I think all of us are having that problem. Hmm, maybe it is Geff instead of Jodi.

:floorlaugh:

I was thinking the same thing. How many on the jury have been spaced out for days on end when the Geff is talking? They must be thinking it too. LOL

Intrusive thoughts are negative. #jodiarias didn't have a clear idea of that when she answered she had negative and positive thoughts

So Geffner blames DeMarte for not making things clear when interviewing #jodiarias #3tvarias

Yeah but isn't she very superior on an intellectual level :banghead:

yes, & I have experienced DV & what he is saying is mostly wrong about that too. I very much wanted to avoid the person.

JA's secret testimony to this jury re her childhood punishment for misbehaving via her mom's wooden spoon is described on pp 19-20. "It hurt like hell" on the two instances she now recalls.

@WildaboutTrial2 I'll be in court today. Can't wait to get it!

PTSD & "traumatic incidents" are the topics de jour for Geffner & Willmott #jodiarias #3tvarias

Depression not a symptom is PTSD but it's depressing. Lol #JodiArias


Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer · 3m3 minutes ago

I'm not sure which is more tedious: hearing the same testimony over and over or reading the same retorts and rebuttals on Twitter.

I thought they were regurgitating Wed to block Juan's cross... Is this going all day so jury sits on Geff testimony over weekend? #jodiarias

 

[bettybaby00]

Her brother got the abuse and she got the PTSD ? How absurd.

Holy crap. Are the tweeters high, or is Geff stoned from hanging out with Wilma?????

 

[Marshmallow]

I'm guessing the term "expert" is being used very loosely today. I'm no Dr. but I do know he's full of .....

I have also been diagnosed with PTSD and everything he is saying is flat out wrong. That shows me he is even willing to twist and lie and say things to fit this case that does not fit PTSD.

What a slap in the face for those who really DO have this disorder.

The battle is on, a lot of objections & sidebars. #JodiArias

Made perfect sense to me! He really is determined to undermine Dr. D, which leads me to believe they are really afraid and do agree with her testimony and Dx.

 

[Tiki]

Seems like JSS allowing questions about Bi polar disorder.
well - same letters BPD. Maybe DT thinks the jury won't know the difference........

 

[Paintr]

It is a sad fact of this trial that I have been actually looking forward to sidebars. For a few minutes I get to stop grinding my teeth over the absurd testimony offered between sidebars. :facepalm:

 

[BritsKate]

Again, it's confounding.

Dissociation is common in borderlines. One of her mitigators! But instead of leading us straight to borderline we're still stuck in victim mode talking about bipolar, which only laymen dx'd her with. Sigh.
