Many of you have been asking about why Daniel's mother, Mary O'Dell is not in the courtroom. She was not subpoenaed and ..... (cont)

.. considering the defense's case is very critical of her parenting, it is understandable why she would choose to stay out of the room.

Mauro, state expert, interviewed Daniel. She testifies Daniel often held back on answers as she questioned him. Was not forthcoming.

Marisa Mauro is the Dr. DeMarte of this trial.

Wow, increasingly clear as she goes on!! Funny how in both trials so much was so similar. Defense paraded kooks, Prosecution brings in a REAL doctor that exposes all the fraud from "doctors" and the entire theory of the Defense.

This has been a truly fascinating trial, who would have thunk?

I wonder what BD is thinking, listening to this.

Shows he can control his impulses, I'm sure he would like to jump up and kill her.

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Mauro says there is no indication of depression before, during or after and she doesn't believe it effected him in shooting Padron

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Mauro says he has a long history of drug use, but she is not sure how much rises to the level of abuse.

"I wouldn't say severe, this is a person who was very high achieving in his career." - Mauro on Daniel's depression
