What else could she do? There's not a specific diagnosis to fit every behavior and murder isn't a symptom of personality disorders. Most diagnoses are done in less than half the time she spent.
I know. With their overall 60 plus years experience you would have thought it would have taken less time than Dr. D. The more time they had in the more $$$$$. That leaves you to believe they actually did try to fit Jodi into a DV situation and asked questions until they received the right answers. I'm sure sending her those books helped.

Hopefully next week, we can get back to the murder itself and reinforcing the Arias premeditation.
Mornin' everyone! Just finishing up yesterday's testimony and I am not going to lie, but I skipped to Juror questions. I love the jury questions.
One comment about the bear/tiger example. As an adult survivor of severe childhood abuse, I have issues with men. Though my mother was negligent in protecting us, I have never allowed a 'man' i.e. dh or boyfriend to discpline my children because it causes me a great deal of anxiety due to the abuse. In my mind a man is large and powerful and therefore unable to control the level of discipline they can render. I start to cry and can not control my feelings of wanting to protect them..even yelling bothers me. My current dh has children and corporal discpline was something he and his ex wife used. I have never used corporal discipline with my children. The first time he went to spank one of his children was a horrible experience. I went into the mode of protector. He said later it was unlike anything he had ever seen. I jumped up and stood between them and was screaming at him to stop. He had not touched her yet and was not using a 'weapon' but was going to spank her with his hand. However, when his ex wife smacked her I had no reaction.
Basically, in my mind the male abuser is the one with the most power and the one who can hurt the most. Females do not. I understand the bear/tiger thing and do not know if I stated the difference in a way anyone could understand. But yes, there is a difference. Its about what you know to be true and what you don't trust. I know that a man is physically stronger and larger, I do not trust that. I had to learn to trust that he would not spank/abuse his dd but he also had to learn that corporal punishment causes me to feel physical symptoms, anxiety, sweating, fear even when it is not directed at me but at someone smaller than him. Females are smaller and do not pose the same threat to me.

I'm really glad Dr. D got in how Jodi was flirting with the guy on the plane after the memorial, especially that she DID call him, and the ring she stole, although I wish Dr. D had included it was an engagement ring TA had for someone else...minor detail though I guess.
:clap:
OMG, I just saw on this video when JM asks Dr. D about why didn't she apologize to JA. Dr. D said because that would make her appear biased. Nurmi got the biggest smile on his face. BTW. JW saw him do that and if looks could kill. He knows Dr. D is awesome! Also, I think he is trying to ignore JW and JA a lot more. He knows he is not an official member of their little clique.
Morning guys! :seeya:
So, Jodi has been diagnosed with BPD which seems to fit her like a glove.
Many people with BPD have posted on this site and provided us with more insight into this diagnoses. Murder does not seem to be a factor in this illness.
So, my question is: Does everyone think that Jodi has other mental conditions that would have caused her to carrying out this brutal premeditated murder? I mean, what normal person would do this?

Just out of curiosity does anyone else find the way JA whispers to either the mitigation specialist or JW disturbing sometimes it seems very sexual and gives me the heebee jeebies.
I used to like Vinnie but now he's like a poorly scripted car salesman.
i do think she used 2 weapons to suggest 2 intruders---certainly not her. another effort to get the spotlight off herself.
as for the camera, i agree with you. she CLAIMS to be a photographer. it's what she WANTS to be seen as. that doesn't mean she's any more knowledgeable about a camera than you or i. and i don't believe she is. as a 'photographer', i would also have thought a good wash with some bleach would have destroyed that camera and everything on it. i see no reason to think she thought anything else.
she had to put it in the wash because it was covered with blood---a lot of it HER blood. it's the same as putting his body in the shower. to remove traces of HER.
and she didn't take it because everyone knew he just bought it. it would have been the ONLY thing stolen, would have made no sense for the 'intruders' to do that, but would have made perfect sense for the 'professional photographer' to do so. she was stuck.
hey, nobody's claiming she's a genius mastermind who didn't make mistakes that day---but her defense is pointing out her mistakes as being evidence of 'the fog'.
Nurmi only smiles when he strongly disagrees with what the witness says...just like he smiled when Dr. D said Travis' verbal abuse was infrequent.
Hay! I heard that Travis had a Will. He left Nap to Deanna, didn't he?
