Jailers have testified he was written up for fermenting alcohol, hoarding pills, and making a noose. #DanielTrial

Shannon Murray ‏@ShannonM_KVUE 2m
Mauro: Daniel considers inmates friends. She says sometimes write-ups from jailers can help raise status among other inmates #DanielTrial

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Under cross-examination, Hunt asks Mauro if someone talking with a stranger would be hesitant like Daniel was with her. She says yes.

 

[TigerBalm]

"I'm assuming the gf is not a psychologist"....

:lol: far from it..."She's nuts"

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Mauro explaining why her diagnosis would be different from other jail psychologist. Said they were doing different jobs

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Mauro said when she worked at California DOC, she'd get sometimes 15 suicide calls a day. They are often "manipulative gestures" & not legit

Shannon Murray ‏@ShannonM_KVUE 32s
Defense asks about ex-gf, who also testified Daniel was depressed. Mauro says she's not a doctor or psychologist. #DanielTrial

Shannon Murray ‏@ShannonM_KVUE 1m
The jail psych evaluated Daniel for a year. Mauro says they were doing different jobs and they have different results. #DanielTrial

Shannon Murray ‏@ShannonM_KVUE 4m
Defense: jail psych diagnosed Daniel w/ major depressive order "Are you saying she's incorrect? Are you saying she's lying?" #DanielTrial

Shannon Murray ‏@ShannonM_KVUE 11m
Under cross, defense questioning if Daniel would have really opened up to Mauro since she is a stranger. #DanielTrial

 

[TigerBalm]

Shannon Murray ‏@ShannonM_KVUE 1m
Mauro also says suicide attempts are often not legitimate and can be manipulative. #DanielTrial

Shannon Murray ‏@ShannonM_KVUE 2m
Mauro says if he appeared to be "in a funk" that could come off as depression, but could be attributed to his drug use. #DanielTrial

 

[TigerBalm]

"Trying" is the key word, it's not working IMO :lol:


Alex Boyer ‏@AlexBoyerTV 10m
Defense trying to poke holes in Mauro's testimony and diagnosis of #BrandonDaniel.

 

[BiancaS]

Prosecution should have questioned the quacks better in one area, IMO. How can someone function so highly in their career if they are suffering from severe depression??? You can't self medicate with drugs and alcohol during the work day if you are performing well at work.

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Mauro says Daniel's desire to kill himself after breakup was not a true intent to die. It was said because he was hoping she'd come back.


Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Mauro steps off the stand and the state closes their case. Now waiting on defense rebuttal.

 

[TigerBalm]

Mauro is excused, state rests.. defense will put on sir rebuttal.

 

[popsicle]

What did he just say? ok thanks :seeya:

 

[TigerBalm]

Defense calls Wendy Nesbit, LaPorte CO.. defendant dated her daughter Jenna

 

[Softail]

Jenna's mom.



Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Wendy Nesbit is on the stand. She is Jenna Feland's (ex-girlfriend) mother and is here from Colorado.

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Nesbit says her daughter Jenna took Daniel's arrest very hard. Mom drove down to stay with her and give her support.

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Nesbit says Jenna would wait by the mailbox for letters from Daniel when he was in jail.

 

[TigerBalm]

I don't understand why the defense called Jenna's mom and not Jenna herself... re: a letter Jenna received from the defendant.

My guess, it is the letter the defense asked the detective about yesterday, that he has never seen.

 

[BiancaS]

Guess Jenna wasn't up to talking today, Mom has to stand in for her.

Same weird way of talking.

 

[TigerBalm]

I spoke too soon.............. here's Jenna

 

[popsicle]

So why did he have to try to get a message to Jenna thru his family then?

 

[Softail]

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Daniel signs his letters with a hand print and Jenna does the same when she writes him.

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Very quickly Nesbit is done. No cross-examination. Now Jenna Feland is being brought back to the stand.

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Wouldn't be surprised if this is defense's last witness and they want to go out with some emotion after bringing so many experts.


Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Feland was worried about Daniel after the arrest. Told her bosses if she got a call from strange number, she was taking it no matter what

 

[BiancaS]

I spoke too soon.............. here's Jenna

In all her nuttiness. Ugh.

 

[Softail]

:lol: She was checking her mail every day. Don't most people do that? :waitasec:
