This was a bad, bad week for the killer. Yes, I've adjusted my calendars with appropriate adjustments from my marking pen. A week is what we used to know as "two days". Of the killer's reactions to examinations of testimony, observations of those in court are all we have. That includes a very few observations by eye of the camera. What perceptions leak through seem odd. Dr. Samuels testified that Arias has a jail psychiatrist & a therapist who prescribe anti-depressants and tranquilizers for her. He knows that from her medical records and because she told him so. The jurors wanted to know about that on March 21, 2013 & he answered their question. Under the influence of meds to cheer her, I believe the way she judges if her mitigation is going well is whether her attorneys & her witness are complying with her wishes.
Although it's tempting to guess Nurmi found Dr. Fonseca due to his clientele concentration, it would seem Arias located her. While she represented herself, she created her support list for mitigation and it did not remain secret. Included was a psychologist who visited her at the jail. (There was also a p.i., Dorian Bond.) She had access to the internet & again, someone may have referred her to Dr. F. during her search. We know Arias, so pedophilia would have been her interest when looking for an expert.
There's a trap in store when you're a liar & a deceiver. Arias cast about for someone to reinforce her allegations, a mouthpiece. The evidence was not there to support Arias nor the opinion of Dr. F. Arias failed to learn from her experience with Dr. Samuels. She claimed she was in traumatic stress a year after the murder and that it was an event she witnessed. His findings were shredded on the stand & he had failed to administer the ancillary deception probe. The further she exerts her will, the more she is exposed as a relentless killer. A crafty trick, with folders.
