trial day 33: the defense continues its case in chief #94

[NotMyselfNEMore]

Did the 'doctor' study these tests for years using his research on ptsd in law enforcement officers in the line of duty that he read in Time Magazine?

Every once in awhile we see Wilmott's face as she looks up from her notes. Here is what she looks like, listening to her expert witness:

 

[AngelWings444]

Look how low JA's chair is compared to JW. Lol.

 

[KBisMe]

Sounds like Juan is wrong again. Sigh.

About what? I missed it.

 

[BritsKate]

He just admitted that he used this test specifically to prove a pre-formed hypothesis. Rather backwards if my opinion matters. :biggrin:

 

[Kajaa24]

.....and here it comes...Samuels is a psychologist and not a psychiatrist !!! wait and see

 

[lil_buddy]

is there a psych test normalized to the premeditated murderer population?

 

[Schuby]

OMG, did you guys see the massive eye roll on Arias when Juan asked Samuels if he's having trouble with his memory? lololololol. You just keep making that face honey.

....I think Jodi just found out that the Dr. Thinks she's cuckoo....

 

[meanddblj]

oh my this is becoming a huge JOKE!

 

[Horace Finklestein]

Juan asks the questions, not you Dr. Samuels. You don't ask the questions.

 

[SheltieMom1]

I ask the questions. Love it!!!

 

[LotusPawprint]

Omg... he's so snarky!!

His ship is sinking!

The MMPI is used in every child custody eval I've ever seen. But he didn't conduct that test. It's used to diagnose. Much more intense than what he did. I wondered why he didn't conduct it. Glad Juan Martinez is bringing it up.

Both tests have been found to be scientifically reliable and admissible in these settings. I have read that the MCMI is more sensitive to detect personality disorders. I think both tests have similar limitations. I think he chose this test because it was quicker and cheaper. IMO

JA's expressions are very interesting. She seems to be acting haughty or righteous, as if this were going well for her...

The twin in the orange or coral shirt is practically laying down on her side in her chair.

 

[Weebles]

Dr Speculating hypothesised that she was a psychotic and wanted to prove his hypothesis by giving her the test. soooooooo.......she was his guinea pig?

 

[Quester]

I think this Dr needs to take a few of the tests he administered to JA. JMO

 

[leebee52]

Need to send JM a t-shirt "I ASK THE QUESTIONS!"

 

[ohiogirl]

Dang, the longer JM goes on, the more re-direct we will have to listen to to rehabilitate this guy.
