Oh for crying out loud.
When Jodi murdered Travis the event naturally becomes "P" (post) after she caused "T" (trauma) that led to "S" (stress) because she's an insecure jealous envious wench who most likely has a "D" (diseased) soul.
We don't need no stinkin' expert for that!
And what's with the spoon? Come on! How many of us were whipped with a belt, spoon, fly swatter by our parents growing up? I sure didn't grow up a bullying, abusive murderer... did you?
I hate these people who whine and blame their issues on Mom, Dad, the dog, a bee... geesh! Come on! Grow up and take resposibility for your own sadistic being...
so why can't we listen to what's going on?

yesAre you guys getting video for this??
Someone posted that memory loss is associated with PTSD and referenced a study done on Vietnam vets that found a reduced Hippocampal that could effect memory loss. Problem is, this study and other studies like it did not control for alcohol abuse which is extremely high in war veterans.
Here's study that examined this;
"In subjects with histories of alcoholism, unadjusted hippocampal volume was 9% smaller in persons with PTSD than in those without PTSD. In nonalcoholic subjects, the PTSD-related difference in hippocampal volume was 3%. The failure to observe a strong association between PTSD and hippocampal volume in nonalcoholic subjects was not ascribable to younger age, reduced PTSD chronicity, or lower PTSD symptom severity."
Now does Jodi have a history of drug abuse that could explain this fog state?
So sick of all this damned subterfuge. People don't stage robberies and steal guns to protect themselves. A naked person with a bullet in their head is not a threat. People who kill in self defense don't go to great lengths (within seconds of said act) to cover up the MURDER. I understand the importance of due process in a death penalty case but this is becoming a GD circus.
ETA I know all of this because I read it in TIME magazine.
