Loca the Pug singing......'The pug that couldn't run' - YouTube

Baez chose to represent Casey and I think they developed some sort of affectionate bond for each other. KC chose to listen to Baez for the most part. I must say she wouldn't have been half as bad as JA on the stand but then their pathetic case wasn't half as bad as this one.
Wonder if they'll return after lunch. JA looks seriously wonked out. They need to lower her dosage of whatever she's taking.
It would be JUANderful if JM would ask DD if she is familiar w/ THIS article, or find a way to bring these conclusions up. That among the community of her peers, the conventional wisdom regarding legal conclusions should not rely on the self-reporting of the defendant re: BWS.
I just re-watched the end of today's morning session -- and Jodi did NOT stand up when the jury filed out the courtroom for lunch !
WTH ?
Anyway ... her mit spec lady walked over to her and started talking to her, and Jodi was still sitting down ...
Unfortunately, the camera went off ...
Any thoughts ?
:moo:
Yes pugs are adorable and so very smart. I dont remember where I read this but Travis's beloved grandmother also had pugs.

Maybe she got a job?
I don't know why that woman isn't working...just sitting there day after day...
I feel bad for her.
De Marte is just a mouthpiece of JM. Of coarse she hasn't done anything wrong....she hasn't done anything to solve the problem. If I suffered from depression she would be the last person I would see.
I thought this important enough to repost:
"Joe Wheeler Dixon, PhD, JD
Battered woman syndrome (BWS) was first proposed in the 1970's and was based solely upon the clinical observations of a single clinician, Dr. Lenore Walker. After she coined the term and published her hypotheses the concept quickly caught on. BWS became a popular way to justify criminal conduct of women who were charged with the murder of their husband. However, while the idea initially enjoyed success in some clinical circles and several legal jurisdictions, BWS was never empirically validated through scientific research as a bona fide condition, and therefore it has not enjoyed widespread support by psychologists who practice clinical and forensic psychology. For those women who are indeed chronically battered, they may more reliably and more correctly be diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
snip
to date there is insufficient empirical evidence to show that BWS per se meets the rigorous diagnostic criteria of psychology or psychiatry for a mental disorder. For instance, there is no reliable means to differentiate those women who merely claim a history of battering from those who have actually been battered.
snip
Doctors typically rely upon the patient's first party self-report when diagnosing clinical conditions. In the case of BWS, when some women are seeking to avoid criminal responsibility, it is extremely unwise for a doctor to reach what amounts to a legal conclusion of battering based solely upon the presenting complaints and history of one person.
