I think she may have had little daydreams or fantasies about a more interesting life but this doesn't sound like she wasn't in control. JMO completely.

Did she say Taylor is married and has 3 kids? I could have swore she said that. Taylor is married to Tyler and they have 3 kids, Arianna, Alessia and some other A name. I can't be the only one that heard that, right?

That third one must be the "biological son" that T keeps mentioning in her letters to the Judge.

The "main personality" must not show up much, as Taylor would be very confused to have a different husband and to have different children (none of them with an A name).

IMO.

 

[Derph]

Surprised one of her personalities isn't Smeagol! They share so very many traits. All she needs is her Precious and a whole fish hanging out of her mouth!

"He's a narcissist so, everything's about him..."

Telling on yourself, there, LS?

Talking about her marriage to Albert.
They hardly lived together. Convenience.

 

[Tealgrove]

It absolutely amazes me that she thinks people will fall for this but then again, she’s brilliant and we’re not.

I can’t imagine how Dr Lewis is going to be able to retain her credibility after her testimony. I don’t think she’s even met Leticia. Has she even seen this video?

Oh my.

ETA: Her Lawyers are going to have a hard time regaining any credibility as well. Come on boys, this is freaking ridiculous!

 

[Kingsley]

Now she has been in cahoots with Landon for the sake of the kids against violent Al? I know the audio isn't the clearest so any confirmation would help.

Leticia is good...at pretending to have multiple personalities, like lines recited straight out of a book

As someone who knows this subject intimately... she really isn't. She isn't getting the first thing right about what it's actually like to live with a dissociative disorder.

But this is just my opinion only.

 

[Megnut]

Another thing DID is not -- being bored with one's life or hating one's life and making up characters with lives that interest her more.

I hate how much she has enjoyed all of this attention.

Jmo

Waiting list for flight attendants? Was hired for a year ahead? Because that happens. Never.

Geez.

40-minute answers?!

Lord.

She called them personas at one point, that's far more close to the reality of what she's describing. She thinks DID is like playing Dungeons and Dragons, making a character with a certain history or characteristics and roleplaying them, and that is what an alternate identity is. It isn't.

MOO

Break until 3:30 pm MT

Second witness today is Dr. Loandra Torres, the clinical director of the court services department in Colorado.

Torres is testifying that she is one of the forensic psychologists who conducted Stauch’s initial competency evaluation, as well as Stauch’s sanity evaluation.

Like Grimmett this morning, Torres is testifying about how Stauch was found competent to proceed in her trial, and how there were concerns she was faking things during the evaluation.

Torres and Grimmett both stated in testimony today that Stauch displayed a lot of characteristics similar to someone who would have narcissistic personality disorder.

Prosecution is now playing a video clip of Stauch’s insanity evaluation conducted by Torres in March 2022. In the video Stauch is talking about her different personalities she switches between such as “Harmony,” “Victoria” and “Maria.”

Stauch can he heard saying at one point that “Taylor” is her “main personality.”

Torres said that the fact Stauch claimed she created her personalities led her to believe that Stauch may be exaggerating or lying, because often people suffering from dissociative identity disorder may not even realize they are switching between personalities.

“The fact that she told us she created them herself… we began to wonder if she was exaggerating,” Torres testified.

 

[Curious Me]

Is there a triggering event that causes people with Dissociative Identity Disorder to switch personalities?

Letecia said she was able to switch personas.
Dr. Torres is trying to clarify what she is being asked. Everyone is growing weary.

Now a 15 minute Afternoon Break.​

The next witness to be called to the stand in the #LeteciaStauch murder trial is Dr. Loandra Torres who works in the office of Civil and Forensic Mental Health for the state of Colorado. She's testifying as an expert in the field of forensic psychology.

Dr. Torres said she got involved in the Letecia Stauch case in 2020, and conducted Stauch’s initial competency evaluation along with Dr. Thomas Gray. After Stauch pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in 2022, Dr. Torres and Dr. Gray also completed a sanity evaluation.

Dr. Torres is testifying about the competency evaluation her and Dr. Grey completed on Stauch in mid-2020. Dr. Torres said Stauch was staying at the hospital for about two weeks before they saw her, which allowed for some observation.

Dr. Torres said Stauch stayed in a high security forensic building, in a unit specifically for female defendants.

Dr. Torres said during the 2020 competency evaluation, Stauch never mentioned being psychiatric hospitalized. Dr. Torres said during the sanity evaluation in 2022, Stauch said she was psychiatric hospitalized in Canada, but wasn’t able to tell them what hospital or in what city.

Dr. Torres said when Stauch arrived to the mental health hospital, she told staff she heard voices in the past related to an ex-husband, wasn’t currently experiencing hallucinations, had past trauma and flashbacks, had panic attacks several times a week, etc.

During the evaluations, psychological testing was performed on Letecia Stauch. Dr. Torres said some of the results were invalidated due to exaggeration by Stauch and/or the scales of exaggeration were elevated.

During the competency evaluation, Dr. Torres said they noted Stauch showing features of a borderline personality and a narcissistic personality.

For borderline personality, they noted her mood swings, intense reaction, and impulsiveness. For a narcissistic personality, they noted entitlement and touting her intelligence.

We’re now watch video of the insanity evaluation conducted on Letecia Stauch on March 24, 2022. She begins by saying when she was 10 or 11 years old, she created the personality of Harmony and let Harmony get molested, and not herself.

Stauch is also talking about her other personalities. Taylor is her main personality. Maria is the protector. Victoria has the empathy. Letecia is bipolar and “doing the most.”

Earlier in her testimony, Dr. Torres also testified saying there were notes that Stauch at one point asked staff whether or not they could tell when a patient is faking instability or illness. Dr. Torres said, you don’t see that very often in the records, you see it on occasion.

She does get credit for her copy/paste delusions! Every one of them was available with only a few strokes on her keyboard! She's committed them to memory and recites them as needed.

According to RA, Letecia's clothes come from the jail. Clothes are left there from other jailers, and clothes are washed and jailers may sort through the clothes and choose what to wear for court attire.
