Just logging in to say I'm present! :seeya: I know some of you don't watch Nancy Grace but trust me on this, you need to find last night's episode. The difference between a standard "Self-defense" plea vs. a "Self-defense by reason of "Battered Wife Syndrome" was explained in a very simplified way. I've heard and read for days now that some people are not understanding the difference and therefore do not understand why Juan is getting so detailed on the sex part of this trial. They think that he is beating a dead horse and keeping the trial in limbo by drilling her repeatedly on the txts, e-mails and the Dateline interviews. There is a very important reason for this and it has to do with the "Battered Wife Syndrome" that Jodi's defense described in the opening statement. When you are using this type of self-defense plea then the prosecutor has to disprove the "Battered" part of the defense.
It is worth it for some who are confused as to why Juan seems to be fixated on the sexual and physical part of this testimony.
PS: I think that he has expertly covered this and totally disproved it.
