trial day 42: the defense continues its case in chief #127

[elementary]

His oblique tactics are brilliant. The unmasking of pathetic Alyce continues.

 

[sickofitAll]

Isn't this the genius who left a camera loaded with pictures at the crime scene? yep...she's an einstein...

 

[Kamille]

Funny. Richard Samuels said she was getting more and more confident in jail and had self-esteem 3+ years into her time in jail and ALV is saying she doesn't have high self-esteem.

ALV also says the tests Samuels gave her are subjective and don't hold much relavance. :floorlaugh:

 

[AnonymousD]

Whoa - what was that??!! Both Nurmi and Wilmott STARING at the jury.

I thought Nurmi was trying to see something on the Prosecutor's table ? Or his computer screen?

 

[jane the dood]

Her IQ is as high as Einstein ???

To which Mr. Einstein replies....

 

[scorpio24]

Manifesto? She has a manifesto? Oh, gee whiz! How much can one woman write?!?

 

[Sustained]

Wonder if Death Row has a Mensa chapter ?

 

[IfIMay]

Jodi thinks she's on the level of Einstein, plus she thinks she's Christ-like, but suffers from low self-esteem.

don't forget her art was gonna hang with Van Gogh! :floorlaugh:

 

[Tipstaff]

JA smiling thinking "it's all about me...it's all about me and I have convinced ALV"

It's all about me" .........................

jm: why is it that you felt so strongly that you felt the need to coddle her by giving her books and apologizing
objection sustained
jm: why is it that you felt the need to do that?
objection overruled
alv: want a complete answer?
jm: I want an answer to my question? why need to do that when you could have built rapport another way
alv: saw it as a respectful way, it's important for people to see that you respect them regardless of the accusation, basic to a human being, chose that way to do it, it's not something I planned, it happened when I was there. when I bought the book I was on the case for a year and a half, done that for other clients because jail is boring, done it with people I don't know, it's part of what I do, see it as preventative

jm: how many other times have you testified at trial in a criminal case?
alv: (counts slowly): not certain, testified 18 times altogether other than this trial, some family cases, less than ten criminal cases
jm: in those ten cases, did you apologize to everyone of those defendands when you went to see them
alv: didn't read their private…different way to approach these things, I reduced my fees in some cases, it's the way I work, no one-size-fits-all approach, look at the person I'm dealing with
jm: are you done?
alv: I'm done
jm: how many of those people did you apologize to on the first meeting
objection overruled
alv: don't know, first case was 1984, don't know. unlikely due to different circumstances

jm: so different case where you could have shown respect a different way
alv: seemed like a good way in this case to show respect in the beginning by apologizing
jm: but there are different way of showing it, could have sat across from her and talk in respectful way, right?
alv: I did
jm: showed her you're respectful, right?
alv: yes
jm: 90% of conversation is nonverbal, right?
alv: yes
jm: if you really wanted to show her respect, if 90% is nonverbal, you didn't have to say anything at all
objection overruled
alv: untrue
jm: so you felt that those were the only exceptions to 90% rule
alv: no, that's not true
alv: 90% you start by someone with talking before you can assess body language
jm: spent 44 hour on this case, time to asses body language
alv: not in 5 minutes
jm: noone forced you to apologize first 5 minutes
alv: no
jm: you told me it was in the first 5 minutes
alv: don't know if in first 5 minutes, did it relatively soon, had no prior basis for communications, did I have to make apology? you could say no, I say it was good and respectful thing to do, you can argue but it was the right decision to me

jm: how long was the first meeting?
alv: 8 hours
jm: you could have through your body language after maybe 1-2 hours conveyed to her through nonverbal conversation that you're respectful, didn't have to immediately apologize
alv: no
jm: could have waited, see if she was going to trust you
alv: why is this an issue?
jm: judge, she's non-responsive
sustained
jm: it was not necessary to apologize right away because you spend 8 hours with her
alv: felt that it was necessary
jm: I understand but you were not compelled
objection sustained

I must have low self-esteem, because I've never considered myself as smart as Einstein.

But, I must have low self esteem because I DO think I am as smart as Einstein!! jk:seeya:

 

[francie]

Defendant is autographing LaViolette's "DV Manifesto" and selling them????

ETA: Oops, no, it's JA's own manifesto LMAO!

 

[Gypseagirl]

:floorlaugh:

:floorlaugh:

Gotta go folks...Jeopordy calls and have to keep DH happy

Alex how about "Get off the Stand ALV for $500"? :blushing: ............:seeya: have a nice evening.

 

[Truth Detector]

JA's afternoon smirk screams: "No jury will convict me. And you can mark my words on that."

 

[BritsKate]

Holy cannoli.

Jodi was autographing copies of a manifesto! Well, she may not be a serial killer, yet, but she certainly knows how to act like one.

MOO

 

[Ammonitida]

This does not look good for Jodi at all.

Jodi is full of herself and this makes her 48 hours proclamation "No jury will ever convict me" all the more damning.

 

[meanddblj]

one of the jurors just did something that caught KN attention......right when JW called a late obj??

 

[Sleuth5]

Me? I'm too stupid to have a manifesto.

 

[seguek9]

Bombshell!!!!

 

[lil_buddy]

Gosh maybe Jodi will sign my quantum field theory textbook right after she explains it to me.
