You do NOT sound nutso.... My PTSD is intrusive and play back in my mind like clips from a movie. I have done EMDR and now I have put it all in a clear capsule. Sometimes the movie clips break through the capsule and things get rough. DBT helped a lot too. You do not sound nutso!
I do not get!
This not nurmi and Wilma's first rodeo! Why would they risk putting someone up there like Samuels?
Don't they realize from all their years in practice! That your witness needs to be in good prossionel standing. Did they not run a background on him! And missed his New Jersey thingie?
Or they couldn't get anyone credible to say what they wanted.
I disagree. Jurors have personal lives as well. They have medical appointments, children, families and other things that require them to have some sort of normalcy during these long trials. IMO-they shouldn't be sequestered, it makes them feel angry, isolated from their daily lives, and in my opinion, their verdicts are rushed. I can't imagine these jurors having to be in a hotel with no contact with their normal lives for the past two months. This trial started in January and it doesn't look like it will end until April.
Until we revamp the entire jury system, paying a good wage, training and educating jurors, this is what we are stuck with.
My frustrating is with the courts, allowing this to drag on. But, it's a death penalty case and we don't want it overturned on appeal. The judge can't step in and crack the whip now, she has already set the tone of the trial.

I was beginning to think I was the only one who noticed her filthy feet
I know for me personally, I have "remembered" most of what caused my PTSD through visions which are a lot like dreams.
Now that I sound totally nutso.....
