I understand that, MeeBee, including AZL's statement re copyright. And of course I'm aware of what was revealed in the guilt phase - that there were no issues then. I don't recall, however, that any actual questions (other than the "root cause" one) were read/revealed in the guilt phase - only the resulting scores and scales and so on.
I also seem to have missed, in this phase, any tweets or whatever saying that Willmott was accusing DeMarte of violating copyright by handing the test over. And if I had I'd be confused. It would make sense if it was a blank one, but not in regards to a completed one being disclosed to the other party within a criminal trial. So that doesn't make sense to me.
I also don't remember Demarte being accused of copyright violation in the guilt phase. The laughable part that I recall was Willmott trying to make it seem like a bad thing that Demarte wasn't using the very latest version of the test, released six months or so before.
All of which I'm well aware may be errors and shortcomings on my part. Feel free to set me straight, though of course I'll be digging deeper myself. As things stand, it seems to me that the issue is protecting the integrity of the test, by not revealing the questions, and regarding copyright violations, JSS did say very clearly that it wasn't her job to babysit the media in that regard - they could do what they liked.
Actual questions were read and placed on screen if iirc. Court chatter posted screen shots of what she had from the guilt phase the other day. There was not a problem at the time, it seems. I've just never heard of it being an issue before. If the media were selling the test for money or using it to diagnose patients, maybe. They don't usually even print these things or even transcribe. Just summarize. The jury needs to see the test.
Willmott did question on copyright back then. I remember the board laughing about it because it was so silly and such a non-important thing to focus on. I know I'm not misremembering. Just watch her cross examination. I can try and find a transcript of the cross in the mean time.
It also did happen that they were criticizing Demarte for violating copyright the other day. It was both Nurmi and Willmott.
@WildAboutTrial: Nurmi objects & criticizes Dr.DeMarte for providing copyrighted material. Juan rebuts that he received the test from Dr. Samuels. #jodiarias
@WildAboutTrial: Willmott stands up to continue to criticize Dr. DeMarte. #jodiarias
