Let me preface this by saying that there are very few head doctors who appear as experts in trials that I find the least bit worthy of their titles alone. With that said here is what I heard:
Dr. Samuels: I formed a hypothesis and then selected the two tests I felt were applicable to my hypothesis. One of those tests, I wrote the defendent's answers down on a legal pad so I could later fill in the answers before scoring the test. Then I recalculated the test three times for several bs reasons. At the time I gave these tests, the defendent was lying about the circumstances of the alledged trauma. I concluded that even though she was lying about the key element concerning my hypothesis, that the test was still okay and valid. Perhaps I should have re-tested but I didn't bother because this baloney test verified my hypothesis and I won't discuss the other test at all.
Ms. ALV : First I apologized to Jodi. Men are perpetrators, it is all in the context, and it is a pattern of behavior that tells me Jodi was both abused and battered by a pedophile. I didn't rely on any tests, I didn't even acknowledge Lenore whoever's six diagnostic guidelines for determining if a person suffers Battered Woman's Syndrome. Travis was a liar, he was abusive and a pedophile and the patterns prove it and the frequency of abuse was increasing according to Jodi, the texts, the g-mail and then there is that awful sex tape where Travis proves he is a pedophile by characterizing Ms. Arias' faked orgasms as sounding like a 12 year old girl even though his preference was little boys. Jodi never said anything negative and though she may have lied about things, there is a difference between a good lie and a bad lie. If Jodi meant to kill her abuser she would have thought up a good lie, she didn't. After I met with the prosecutor, I ran right on over to the jail to speak with Jodi again for an unknown, unjustified reason.
Dr. DeMarte : I formed no hypothesis, I did not apoligize to Jodi. I administered a bunch of tests that she herself had to fill in the bubbles. I submitted her answer sheets to a computer for scoring, I did have to do that twice because the computer requires it to eliminate any error on my part. Jodi suffers from a borderline personality disorder based on the computer scoring - here are the behaviors, here are examples of Jodi's behavior that apply to the diagnosis. I found out she was reasonably smart, I also found out she told another Dr. there were far more instances of abuse than those she told me about or Dr. Samuels or ALV. I do not agree with the PTSD diagnosis and here are the reasons. I do not agree with the speculation of a battered woman as the information I obtained did not match up with the six guidelines prepared by the mother of domestic violence. And that pedophile thing, forget about it, it didn't happen and here is why.
If I had to see a shrink, guess who I would go and see. It isn't hard to figure out.
