jm: during conversation you talked to her about what happened, right?
alv: yes
jm: you had a good feeling about her right?
alv: more positive feeling than prior to meeting her, much better feeing after I spoke with her,
jm: isn't it true that you stated to me that you had a good feeling about her (prior to trial)
alv: yes
jm: this is on a personal level, right?
alv: she filled blanks I had
jm: so you developed as a consequence a good feeling the consequence of which is the testimony we're having today, right?
alv: I had a better feeling to pursue the case
jm: I'm asking about a good feeling about her, not the case, remember telling me that?
alv: yes, I do
jm: now you have this good feeling and continue on with the case
alv: yes
jm: isn't it clear to you today that perhaps there's an issue of bias?
alv: no
jm: so you could set all these good feelings aside
objection overruled
alv: I think what you're talking about is that I have positive feelings and it would interfere with my work, I'm a human being, but I take this case very seriously
jm: but in this case there are no objective materials like tests
alv: I'm saying I look at materials from a variety of sources and took all of that into account
jm: you told me during interview and testimony that ja has low self esteem
alv: yes
jm: isn't it true that she was happy about evaluation because she believed her IQ was as high as Einstein's
alv: yes
jm: speaks against low self-esteem
alv: no
jm: doesn't indicate that she has no low self-esteem issue
alv: most people who talk about how smart they are don't feel that smart at all, people are very interested in their IQ, many reasons why she could have been excited about it
jm: you don't know why she wanted to know about her IQ
alv: no
jm: could be she has very high self-esteem
objection overruled
alv: don't believe behaviour demonstrates high self-esteem
jm: not talking about behaviour, one other thing we know about her is that she'd correct other people's grammar when she was upset with them, right?
alv: yes
jm: you walk into the interview knowing about that, right?
alv: not sure if I knew that before I met her for the first time
jm: now you know that it's something that's out there
alv: yes
jm: she believes she's intelligent, she corrects other people, doesn't indicate high sense of self?
alv: not at all
jm: know about defendant's manifesto?
alv: remember hearing about it, haven't seen it
jm: heard about it, right? ja was autographing copies of it
