Yes, but both would cause trauma. Maybe, I am missing something or I just don't understand.
Panthera, it was such a great day today. Dr. DeMarte did an excellent job once again.
Hmm, that bear/tiger question was bad. I said it earlier, but it's not at all analogous to what happened with Jodie lying on the PTSD test. If the juror felt it was, they have a serious deficit in logic/reasoning.
Words can't express what I feel towards Jose Baez. But he was a better attorney than this DT, IMO.
I wish to GAWD that HLN would STOP replaying the phone sex tape of Jodi having an orgasm!!! It really disgusts me!!! No seriously - IT DOES! I'm about to stop watching HLN altogether because of it!!! JVM plays it practically every single night! It's so GROSS!
Hurts to write positive things about Baez doesn't it .. my teeth gritted as I typed, but yes, he is a better attorney :banghead:
Exactly. Me too.BUT.. why does it matter if Jodi can or cannot remember what happened?
Maybe she planned to kill him all along and then couldn't handle the aftermath. Maybe she remembers every single detail.
I don't really care.
I don't care if she couldn't deal with what she had done.
I want to talk about whether she planned to brutally take a man's life or not.
I am still in awe that she succeeded in overpowering and killing this man. I don't want to argue if she is smart or dumb, but it took some foresight to imagine and create a scenario where Travis was vulnerable with very little power, and she was in power.
I also marvel how sneaky and insidious she was, to gain entry as a friend, have sex (likely), all while knowing she are a black widow lying in wait, waiting for the opportunity to slaughter your friend and lover.
I'll bring my tigers and bears comment forward from the last thread:
I don't know if I remember her explanation correctly, by my understanding of it is that: If you report having nightmares about tigers, tigers attacking you intrude into your thoughts, you are avoiding the tigers at the zoo, etc. yet the trauma you reported was that you were attacked by a bear, that would be problematic and invalidate the test. There is no reason for you to be obsessing about tigers like that when it's a bear that attacked you.
The bear/tiger question left me scratching my head. WTH? Made me wonder if notoriety was the reason for this ?, after all, I for one will remember it. Possible? Any thoughts?
This is :twocents::moo:
I don't think the tiger/bear question was snark.
I don't think it indicated that the juror thinks JA suffers from PTSD.
I saw it as a test of Dr.JD's impartiality and I think she failed.
From what I saw of the PSD test, the questions about symptoms were independent of the cause of trauma.
The question as I heard it, specifically referenced the PDS test.
Therefore, the results of the test - sp. a dx of PTSD - should not differ if causes differ.
DrJD very clearly demonstrated how Jodi's behavior was/is NOT in accordance with someone who suffers from PTSD. I see this as incontrovertible, frankly.
Flame away.
I have admit that every now and then I wondered if JA ever missed Travis, or had secret regrets that the beautiful life she wanted so much to have with him would never happen. Well, color me stupid! Hearing about the call to a new love interest right after Travis's memorial service just fuels my fear of her. She is more devoid than I even imagined. She's always scared me. Now she terrifies me.
Oh, I'm quite sure JA has some deranged "fans" supporting her. It's sickening. But then again, Charles Manson prolly gets marriage proposals all day long. Some people are defective.Just a little thought and something that bothered me....
When court was done today and the camera lingered and was on Jodi talking to the LA, just the two of them, we (someone has mentioned this) see 2 unkempt teenie bopper looking people just standing in the gallery all by themselves smiling at Jodi. They just keep standing there obviously trying to get her attention. Obviously, they were fans and were trying to get her recognition and now they can go tell everyone on FB and twitter "LIKE OMG JODAAAAY SMILED AT ME!!!!"
Jodi did acknowledge them with a smile.........and goes back to the jail with a big *advertiser censored* head that she has groupies.
I know she has some [delusional] groupies out there and she knows it because im sure her BFF Donovan tells her how LOOOOOOOOOOOOVED she.... but seeing LIVE in ACTION reeeealllly got under my skin. It was disgusting.
************
another thought and im wondering if someone can confirm this to me....
I missed some of the live feed due to work and did the ol' 30min rewind. The spot it picked up at, I see Jodi facing the jury section and JW facing Jodi and I swear it looked like JW touched Jodi's hair. Did anyone else see this? I may have to find it on a vid and take a screen shot....
OMG!Not you too?
