Yes, thanks, it does sound like that. Murkier and murkier.
Sounds like “ no one will be reviewing it except myself.. and I’ve retained a Social Worker.”

He’s mentioned a social worker in other hearings before trial.

Harmony is a character in they Buffy tv series who later becomes a vampire. I think she was both on Buffy and Angel, the spinoff show.
I’m surprised she doesn’t have Illyria in her lineup of alters. Much more effective than Maria IMO. :rolleyes:

She’s ruining genre television for me left and right.

Another Colorado trial ( Adams County ) where the Defendant pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

After 2 weeks of trial the jury deliberated for 3 hours and reached a verdict yesterday of Guilty on all charges.

Judge immediately sentenced him to LWOP plus 336 years.


Another insanity defense plea that failed. The only alternate universe he'll be living in is a concrete cell with bars for the rest of his life. Good enough, he deserves it.

Tecia won't get away with it, either. Can only hope she's sentenced for a thousand years, but she deserves much more than that.

It all started when she threw the names of the 1996's Olympic Gymnastic Stars out. One of her alters was bff's with Keri Strug and Dominique (?? Something?)
Factual and True/ Real people being used in her stori-lies.

Okay, so after looking at the document posted by @Seattle a page or so ago, I'll try to summarize. It's about Dr. Lewis and is a summary of her work for discovery purposes.

First of all, she was six weeks late with her report.

Second of all, apparently she never met with or spoke to LS. All of her impressions are based on the records obtained during her competency and sanity determinations. She claims she didn't get these records in a timely fashion. She wants jail records, social worker records, any corrections psychiatric records, etc. She wants LS's handwriting. Nursing notes. Medical records, etc.

Of interest: the Defense wanted further neuropsychiatric evaluation done on LS and submitted to Laura Leach, Ph.D. (a forensic psychologist). She's a graduate of the illustrious Alliant University in Los Angeles. I am being sarcastic. Some university rating systems allocate Alliant to the rank of 440 out of 443 universities ranked. Others put it as high as 331. It gets 2 stars out of 5 in most rating systems. It has both real world and online pathways to a degree in psychology.

Having said that, every graduate of every university is only as good as the individual themselves. She could be outstanding. However, Dr. Leach is certainly not a published expert (I can't find anything scholarly written by her). She does psychometry and forensic psychology, but nothing about whether she's an expert in the kinds of biomarkers that Dr Lewis says accompany DID.

TL;DR The Defense will likely be offering its own neuropsychiatric data, from separate testing done on around February 20, 2023.

The discovery document does not state whether Dr. Leach would be traveling to CO to actually interact with LS. She is. based in Denver, CO, so it's likely that she may have traveled to EPC to see LS on Feb. 20.

Here's the document link again (thanks so much, @Seattle).
Nursing notes? I didn't know she was going to be a nurse. Hopefully, she didn't intern if that's what nurses do to practice. Sweet until she stole patients meds or killed one of them.

I've not even had my first-morning tea yet but felt compelled to put the call out for a Member's Grandmother to phone Prosecutor Dave Young today and remind him this is the final stretch, and he best leave Wednesday's eejit at home!

Given the state might need to call Dr. Torres back to rebut the defense DID expert (Dr. Lewis), it's imperative Young redeem himself and Dr.Torres be able to finish strong in the eyes of the jurors on Friday. Chop, chop!

IMO, Dr. Lewis is somewhat of a wildcard. Seems that part of her success in advocating for the polarizing subject of DID is that the 85 yr old 'bubbly' Psychiatrist carries a likable quality about her.

Dominique Moceanu.

(I’m old enough that I remember seeing the Kerri Strug video so … many … times.)

Come on!!!
She looks up and to her right at the camera before she does her duck lips and her stupid boogie. Gotta make sure the camera is watching....
Oh boy, that must be her celebrity Kim personality. Maria would never stoop so low for camera attention.

The ward she was on had nurses (per testimony this week). That's what they are wanting - the day to day notes of the psych ward nurses, which reveal day to day issues and behaviors.

Changed my avatar. Thought Gannon was a fighter up to the end so I needed an avatar that wasn't running away.

What do you Dr. Lewis would try to prove with LS handwriting and signature PRIOR to the offense?

To put it in the most simplified form - she's looking for evidence of different personalities writing.

And yes, in many DID systems, different system members have different handwriting to each other.

But there are also many systems who have handwriting where the differences are incredibly minor or nonexistent. You wouldn't know by looking at their writing that different system members wrote different bits of it.

And there are many 'singlets' (one person, one body folks) who have handwriting that varies a lot, either throughout their life, in different settings, according to their mood, or if they were in a hurry or preoccupied.

I think, based on what I saw in the documentary, that Dr Lewis gives far more weight to handwriting than is warranted.

MOO

Perhaps we could ask their Public Information Officer Lt. Black to let DY know how we feel?

I’ve long admired Black and thought he was very affable. Before he retired from local PD I would see him speaking to media all the time.

Dr Torres's expression and her words as they touched upon how in the video (which we have yet to see) of Dr Lewis getting LS to let her speak with 'Maria', lead me to think that it will have all the qualities, and as much evidential worth, as a card trick at a party.

I agree. I’m a lefty so maybe that has something to do with it but I have several different styles of writing. Different enough that I once received a letter from the county courthouse saying my signature wasn’t matching what they had on file for mail in voting.

I can’t explain why I vary my writing but I’m pretty sure it has nothing to do with different personalities or loss of time.

It's going to be like the roaring twenties and spiritualism.

"I'm in touch with the spirit world. There is a Maria here who would like to come forward."
