trial day 32: the defense continues its case in chief #93

[angela]

I honestly don't see how the defense can recover from this. How can they justify anything? Nurmi looked soooo done today. He knows she is guilty of first degree murder and he just can't help her.

 

[mck16]

I wonder how many jury questions Samuels will get from the jury?

I can't wait to hear those. There should be some doozies. jmo

 

[panthera]

This doctor sent her greeting cards? HOLY COW

Very unprofessional.

MOO

 

[usnuzuloose]

Oh Boy! The box is full of questions! :lol:

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't come back for more tomorrow~! :lol:

I am new here. But reading your post, boy oh boy that is my thought. I wonder if he will return.

I'm way slow. Watching Nancy Grace. Finally understood why JM is making such a big deal bout this test. He evaluated it when Jodi was still telling the ninja story.:doh:

Jodi's really eating this up for a defense. She has no clue it's the bottom of the barrel. Nurmi/Willmott are doing the best they can, but Jodi :sick:

... and a book on erogenous zones :laugh:

ha! that is erroneous

Gotta give Doc Samuels credit for being truthful today.

But that was because Juan so masterfully BROKE HIM DOWN.

You know when you catch your teen in a huge lie and eventually they realize they are so busted that they finally stop squirming and trying to fix it---and they just give it up. LOL----- BUSTED. anic:

I was thinking Matt McCartney. Perhaps that is who Det. Flores interviewed last Thursday... :twocents:

Someone said it was the prosecutors witness

This case gets easier for me every day. Along with the defendant's, I'd toss this guy's entire testimony. When you look up 'charlatan' in the dictionary, his picture should be there.

First, he answers wilmott's very leading questions to explain the defendant's demeanor and behavior on the stand. He even goes out of his way to tell the jury that you wouldn't see her shake unless you knew what to look for!

In other words, don't believe your lying eyes.

Then he has to admit he provided therapy to a person he was evaluating. That's HUGE. As a therapist, he could recommend a book to a client. He could loan her one, even. I don't think it's appropriate to buy one for a client, but to do so for a person you're evaluating for court isn't just inappropriate, it's totally unethical. If he doesn't understand that he's blurring lines there, then it begs the question whether he even understands those boundaries exist! And that's a very disturbing thought. He's sending her CARDS?????

Another victim of the Arias charm, I'd say.

And then, we have the test results he used in his conclusions, from the time she was going with door number 2! He's digging through crap he brought, can't find things, left crap in his office, etc. 'Sloppy' doesn't begin to describe that. Here's a guy who may have been buying milk at the store and ran across that TIME magazine and thought that a suitable piece of scientific research to bring before a jury in a case where he's an expert. I've never seen that before, and don't think any other judge (she's another story) would have allowed that.

JM will continue to dismantle this guy tomorrow until there's nothing up there but an empty chair.

This man is exactly the reason the general public does not like expert witnesses. Total fail for the defense.

Should some one contact Big Joe at the jail and get Jodi a private room and some eyes on her.

:welcome4:

Kind of feel sorry for him in a way......totally unprepared and lied to by the defendant on the questionaire.

MOO

Hello and Welcome !

:wagon::wagon:

 

[ParrotGal]

Samuels is in a time warp~ stuck in the 70's when "sex therapy" was "the thing"... YUCK! Guess what, dude~ we have this new thing called THE INTERNET. People can find stuff out pretty fast. Also, you might wanna' step it up on your note-taking/fable writing methods.
Dear Lord~ what a cluster****!
I feel like I just watched a building implode.

 

[wenwe4]

That would fit MM if Det. Flores interviewed him . . . . prosecution for the State.

 

[perfectvirgo]

ha! that is erroneous

It is indeed! I'm reporting what I wanted/expected to hear! Bearing in mind JA's ERs were all over the big screens I'd love him to make that slip.

 

[Shelby1]

I got a postcard from my doctor one time.





It said my PAP smear was clear.

 

[ScarlettScarpetta]

Gotta give Doc Samuels credit for being truthful today.

Yes, I think you can tell he was not going to lie. He did offer truth today. Even when it made him look bad.

MOO

Me too. I guess I am soft. BUT I find it unforgivable that he knew she lied and didn't readminister the test.

Do we think the only two defense witnesses left are MM and Alyce LaV?

I can't think of anyone else from court minutes and don't think any family members are going to testify. lease: Hope we're nearing the end.
