Her stubbornness is making Juan's case for him.
I came into this trial very late. At first I could not understand why ALV was upsetting to everyone.
Today, in :cow: she was attempting to look 'witty' and in charge and instead came across as looking very much the way Juan is trying to make her out to be.
It appears to me that she let her 'expert' status go to her head and went on in to asses JA, upon seeing the frail, frump of a sex kitten, ALV made up her mind that she was a victim of domestic abuse and just dropped the ball.
I don't think there is ANYTHING in ALV's resume that would have prepared her for the thrashing she's getting from Juan. Right down to questioning if she understands what the definition of 'manipulation' and 'Old Fashioned' mean.
