trial day 35: the defense continues its case in chief #99

[Isabelle]

Juan will straighten out the confusion surrounding PTSD. He will make sure the jury understands that PTSD is not what caused Jodi to kill Travis. She may have PTSD as a result of what she has done, knowing what the consequences most likely will be. PTSD does not excuse what she has done, and is not a "get out of jail card"!

 

[RadarLuv]

saw no shaking! says she tells him. Oh that's RICH!

 

[Rosemary Pierce]

He's not answering questions, he's giving lectures.

That seem well rehearsed.

 

[NotMyselfNEMore]

So when he used the word actors during testimony, he meant Jodi and Travis and her lie about ninjas?
I woulda sworn he said memory loss was akin to an actor with stage fright forgetting lines..

 

[MeeBee]

I think some people are wanting to see the bad in the juror questions and are even though they sound a bit skeptical to me. None of these questions have indicated to me that they believe him or her. None.

 

[bsk]

Didn't he says earlier that he had "noticed" her "subtle" shaking? Now he says he could hardly see her at all and she had to point it out.

 

[outofstatelawyer]

I'd like to hear our attorneys opinions on this.

Well, there is no "jury" yet, as 6 of the 18 will not be deliberating. So I think everyone should chill b/c those questions might (a) be submitted by the same person and (b) that person or persons may not end up making the jury at all. My .02.

 

[JusticeJunkie]

Frenzied and poorly planned???? Isn't he getting into forbidden areas?

 

[Tulessa]

Oh my goodness - jury question about Jodi shaking with fear of being found guilty.

Your take on this minor?

"Dr. Samuels, to say that his work “will often result in a more favorable outcome for your client?” Is that something he strives for? Is that his goal, to produce a report that has a favorable outcome for your client? Shouldn’t he be producing a report, whose sole goal is to be thorough, complete and impartial? Whether or not the report “produces a favorable outcome for your client” should be irrelevant."

I don't think I can listen to this quack anymore unless it's under Juan's rebuttal. :maddening:

 

[K_Z]

(It's not "hypo-campus" Judge! )

Remember that the question about the "terribly bad" case of PTSD was NOT thrown out or otherwise edited! The sarcasm made it past the defense attorneys.

I think some people are wanting to see the bad in the juror questions and are even though they sound a bit skeptical to me. None of these questions have indicated to me that they believe him or her. None.

I agree!

 

[jojomonkey]

Why does the jury care if she did or didn't have PTSD? The whole argument is pointless

I agree, but maybe they are doing this for their own amusement, they don't really need the questions answered but they've had to sit through so much garbage they can't help but throw them out there.

 

[katydid23]

" well, Ms. Arias also reported to me that she had sweaty palms during the attack...so that is along with the shaking...She did point it out and demonstrated the shaking for me,,,"


Oh Brother....:clown: :clown: :clown:

 

[JRS_JD2L]

He, He He...disorganized, poorly planned, irrational, autopilot reactions to traumatic event! Did JM slip you a 100 spot before you took the stand today?

 

[StephanieHartPI]

Hypocampus, Hipocampus... Tomato Tomoto...

 

[scorpio24]

I missed the first few questions so maybe those indicate someone believes him -- every question I have heard would not be considered pro-defense IMO

Or WERE inclined to believe him in the beginning. They're read in the order they were submitted. All these are pre-cross, I think... :twocents:

 

[lonetraveler]

He just said extravagant planning is not possible during the traumatic stressful event. So, we now know that she could not have cleaned up, deleted photos, taking the gun, knife, etc. Thanks again, Doc.

I'm really wanting him to have to explain why she dragged Travis down the hallway to the shower after stabbing him and cutting his throat?

 

[ScarlettScarpetta]

It is so weird how different people can perceive something. That question, to me, is DRIPPING with sarcasm. This TERRRRRIBLE PTSD...make of that what you will.

Me too. I smiled thinking that will be the one NG uses tonight..

 

[Southern_Meadow]

I agree... I thought the addition of "terrible" clearly indicated sarcasm.

I think the judge read it rather sarcastic as well. I'm wondering if it actually included quotations. Or perhaps the judge thinks it's all a load of bull, too. :twocents:
