I dunno about Dr. DeMarte. She's smart and appears to be very prepared, which is a refreshing change, BUT there's no getting around the fact that she's relatively young and may not come off as "wise and worldy" enough to the jury. I was very surprised that she hadn't heard of Your Erroneous Zones. It's old and outdated, but it's a major grand-daddy of self-help books. Maybe it just shows how old I am ;(.
There's absolutely no comparison between the two. Laviolette did not even use evidence based methods or write a report. I have no idea how her baseless opinion was considered forensic...but at least we have an actual professional using verified methods here. Young or old, dr demarte is up to date on current methods and respects and understands her field enough to be ethical. Lol could you imagine her sending Jodi self help books from the 70s?
