We're back . . Judge announces Juror #5 is in courtroom as member of public - no contact with her until after trial is over (showing picture of her in court)
Character assassination - much more debilitating and harmful to people - on the continuum of DV it doesn't occur with people who are low level abusive . . . they may call you a name but don't spend time to tear you apart - on the higher end f the continuum
in middle is abuse - name call but character assassination is a more severe form of abusive name call.
May 26 2008 - text messages -tirade or rant from TA to JA
@ 3:21 . . .7 hr time difference
understanding of what tis conversation is about after speak to JA? - don't remember context
JA doesn't want to leave on his voicemail but wants to tell him something. . TA responds he sent a respond to her dire conversation - maybe it will spark human emotion in you - everyone isjust part of her sick agenda - comment on a picture of someone else makes her look like a pure
- should be embarrassed - if everyone knew what TA knew they would spit in her face. TA never hurt so bad by anyone else
ALV sees character assassination less than human, pure
, spitting in face, evil - worse than just - not just one thing t call her but a group of things to tear her character. couldn't get off her lazy butt to read, sociopath, evil she is, worst thing ever happened to TA, sociopath, she only cries for herself, never cared about him - she has betrayed him.
she responds - after long rant continuous text messages charcter assassination - she doesn't see it she wants him to . . . she doesn't have the email he wants her to see - she doesn't respond in violent manner or showing anger towards him.
JA and TA moved onto IM's . . very long IM . . .
exhibit #450 - look @ time 3:21 - ends @ 9:17 - 6 hrs texting character assassination
then IM's go on .. .
he continues with charcter assassination - worse than before - there is an escalation in names he calls her - intensity and that he goes on longer - more names, worse names in the IM.
it takes a lot of energy to keep uncontrolled kind of rage - very scary to be on the other side of that kind o rage - most people might name call but usually don't go on that long @ that level. 5 hr arguments when younger - 20s or earlyl 30's is not that long but ore what contained in the argument the kind o language and derogation of charcter rarely heard words strung together the way they are in this IM
move to admit exhibit
objection - sustained
reviewed the IM? is it 5 or 6 pgs? it is 16 pages . . .do you need to review it? ALV does.
specific words are important - character assassination words
"what a freaking wh@re"
objection she is reading from the exhibit
approach
