trial day 32: the defense continues its case in chief #92

[rose222]

I almost feel sorry for Samuels. Almost.

What do you think happens when someone tries to stand in the way of Justice for Travis? Samuels looks like he just knocked down by a dozen elephants!

 

[Nali87]

He got her to admit that she LIED on the test so the test result mean crap!!!
DONE.

 

[ZsaZsa]

The witness box is his erroneous zone...

 

[newsjunkie]

Anyone else feel like dancing. . . .

 

[Liebchenmutti]

I LOVE JUAN MARTINEZ!!!!!!!!!

He was freakin' awesome today! :great:

 

[leebee52]

Gotta admit, he TRIED to get in the "well yes but"...

 

[LambChop]

i admit...i feel very uncomfortable for him because he has destroyed himself and embarassed himself....and he has got to be feeling HORRIBLE right now.

however, im happy for this because it will serve towards travis' justice!

Maybe Jodi should give him his book back. :jail:

 

[King Tut]

I've seen anything like this except on law and order. This guy just admitted his entire defense strategy is invalid. This is fantastic.

 

[oceanblueeyes]

Well, you were trying to be objective. But how do you feel it is going now? I heard talking heads criticizing JM's approach as too aggressive.

I have learned to tune out the talking heads who are defense attorneys gitana. They are not objective if that is what you are looking for.

Honestly Juan is doing a fantastic job at dressing down the doctor who acts more like a shyster than a doctor and that is the truth.

IMO

Cats got this mouse but the mouse doesn't know it ...yet

Cat's playing with it now....

 

[LotusPawprint]

How did this guy defend his dissertation successfully?

I just want to know how he gets out of bed and puts his socks and shoes on the right way every day.

 

[Plumeria5]

Yep...I'd say this Quack just lost all credibility.

Yes, and I think this may have substantially hurt his book deal that apparently he was bragging about in the hall before taking the stand.

 

[carnnell]

"Perhaps I should have readministered that test."

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No chit Sherlock!!!

 

[Sustained]

How can the DT put LaViolette on the stand after JM has totally discredited Samuels ?
Doesn't LaViolette's testimony hinge on the acceptance of Samuels' statements ?

 

[BunnyHop]

Something tells me that Juan eats, breathes and sleeps this stuff.
He is all over this guy!

He's competent, pays attention point by point and discredits them.
He's focused and does his homework. :rocker:

exhibit #534 . . . (lost feed for few seconds)

part 2 circle numbers that apply . . . . did you circle it or did she
I don't know if she did or gave me the number I circled

assault life threatening by a stranger right
that is what she said at the time . . . that is what she said

in terms o what she was telling you believed she was not telling the truth
that is correct
you write these notations down even though you know they are not truths
yes I did
why would you write down untruths
because that is what she said

you have now told us this is based upon a lie
perhaps I should have re-administered that test

lets take look @ the one you are holding

why are you filing these out instead of her . . . . couldn't she do that herself?
no this is for the examiner to fill out this is the scoring of her raw data . . .

when you told me before she had filled out an answer sheet
I probably left that on my desk - this is my transcribed scores
gives you a measure to be used to determine PTSd
correct

#534 - question #22 . . . . where is the guide tells us why you would give her a 3?
I didn't give her a 3 - she scored a 3.

the manual #527 . . .. questions are in the book . . .

exhibit #527 . . . . question #22 . . . read that for us . ..

for item #22 . . . . there are exact directions on here . . .

Dr. cannot seem to find them . . . flipping page to page . . . .

Wilmot looking on with wide eyes . . .

Dr. is reading line by line on pages . . . . I guess the actual test is not here I had it together . . . ah wait . . page flipping . . . there is a question booklet . . I thought it was attached to this book but it isn't but it has a separate answer sheet . . . apparently I don't have it here . .

so what you have in front of you is not the guide to score . . .
right it is not the actual question sheet . . . it is the manual it describes sample reports . . . afraid I left the question sheet @ home.

A quick shout out to Wenwe4 for transcribing for us
Thank you so much.....i'll will certainly re-read them

 

[shiloh42]

I'm wondering if the university who gave him his PhD wants it back?


I just came out of a 3 hour meeting so missed all the fun this afternoon - did I read it right, he sent a gift to JA? Holy jeez.

 

[Tiki]

I kinda' think it's too late for objections
unless they're going to try to say she believed that story when she took the test - oh wait, she admitted it was a lie

 

[katiedid2]

i would have spontaneously combusted under juans questioning

He may need cpr

 

[Pink Panther]

As I have figured, they could not get a Top Psych in any field that would do this and have it come out in Jodi's favor. This is a paid expert that basically advertises producing reports favorable to your client.

He is very 70's, probably worked in many low level trials, not prepared for a Mr Martinez.

His testing procedures are very bad, I would not even call it old school, they are just improper. There is no checks and balance for a reason, he didn't even need to give her the test, he was making a report to say things with or without her answers.

And she should have been compelled to give a urine sample also. Prior to taking it.. (i had to lol) That just shows extra tight procedure. No substance in the blood, like stimulants caffeine etc is ok, nothing else. I asked for caffeine. I said I'll vomit if i can't have that lol

By his own admission, he forgot to bring anything that would enable him to answer any questions about the test, the test was based on her lie, he never re-administered after she came up with the third story and he's only ever administered this test about 15 times in his extensive career!
