Doesn't the MMP-2 test for malingering?

Interesting that Dr. Lewis is perfectly willing to entertain the idea that Leticia is lying when it comes to possible abuse of Gannon using enemas. But not when it comes to claiming her already deceased stepdad just died in order to get out of work. Or faking an accent or persona to get a less harsh prison sentence.

Juror question 4: Did you perform any tests to help determine if Stauch was faking or exaggerating DID?
Answer “Yes.” (that was actually all she said)

Juror question 5: Earlier, you said people with DID are more susceptible to believe what people say to them, then why do you openly talk about potential theories and explanations in front of the defendant during the interview.
Answer: Another long-winded answer from Lewis (and one I didn't fully understand) that I think can best be described as: (1/2)
It’s often good to run theories and questions by defendants to see their responses, even if their answers can’t necessarily be trusted, as the response can still inform on sanity.

Juror question 6: If the EEG and MRI weren’t provided how can you issue a final sanity report?
Answer: Lewis said that basically she can still conduct the sanity exam with interviews and background research and be confident in her findings, but that the EEG and MRI would have just (potentially) helped prove her findings.


And I'm very sorry to disappoint, but I missed the last juror question, it was around then that I started getting hundreds of twitter notifications from y'all and got a bit distracted, my fault on that one! Hopefully someone else can fill in the blank there.

And I believe before the mic was turned back on Stauch informed the court that she would not be testifying, the defense informed Werner they would be resting on Friday and the prosecution informed Werner they would "most likely" have no rebuttal witnesses. Closings coming Friday.

What background research did the doctor conduct? As far as we heard she didn’t verify anything Letecia told her, like flying to Dubai. She never spoke to any family members or friends.

The jury calling out Dr Lewis with some of those questions, I love it.

As per a reporter who was present in the courtroom when the audio for the feed was muted, LS will NOT be testifying in her own defense.
oh , she'll find a way. ... . shouting from the well of the court, .. at some point , the judge may, and probably will ask her if she has anything to say, probably after sentencing, and she'll go off like a penny bunger. The deputies will have to go into a scrum to get her out, she is so involved and wrapped up in this endless glory , this hour by hour attention paid to what she said and what she did, and when she did it, and why she did it, and on and on. She does not want this trial to ever end. It is the culmination of her whole life. Finally, attention is being paid.

Gannon was a means to an end. It could have been Liana, it could have been poor Albert, it could have been anyone. Gannon was handy.

I've been wondering if this was somewhat of a munchausen by proxy situation. I think it's interesting she was giving him laxatives, inserting enemas, and his toxicity report indicated he had hydrocodone in his system. I know he had gastrointestinal issues but I wonder to what degree she was exacerbating these symptoms to show how good of a mother she was by "taking care" of him.

The biggest heart hands to Zach for keeping us all in the loop. He can absolutely be forgiven for missing the last question since apparently everyone blew up his twitter at once. :D

She compared past and current signatures.
It's all on paper....but she lost it
:rolleyes:

Heck, she’ll probably end up screaming that her constitutional rights were violated in some way shape or form. It wouldn’t surprise me if she claims her lawyers prevented her from testifying.

It’s always someone else’s fault.
