trial day 48: REBUTTAL #146

[Ransom]

That motion was in 2011. You gotta wonder if ALV was given the forged letters to help with her opinion, even though they had already been excluded. :seeya:

IDK but that's a really good thought.:seeya:

 

[sammijo]

I know this has been mentioned before, by me as well, but I simply do not understand Jennifer Wilmutt's response to this expert's testimony.

When asked if she would ever use a legal pad to score a "client", DeMarte answered "no." And Jenny has a big grin on her face, as if she's thinking, "yeah, right." She didn't fully roll her eyes, but I swear there was a hint of that too.

Is she doing this for the jury's benefit or to soothe her own bruised ego? If I am a juror, I already have respect for this witness based on her qualifications and presentation. I would find Jenny's constant smirking at her testimony rather pathetic and childish.

Nobody knows exactly what ALV did, suffice it to say she got a beat down from the Judge.:rocker:

it sounded to me yesterday like something had come out during a closed hearing. i don't think it's about her approaching the family. that was a no no, but there's no reason to have a hearing on it---she got chewed out and told not to do it again so what else could they say about it? this sounded like something that was revealed while they were discussing something else with her, and it was a big problem, whatever it was. enough to make her come back and address it.

I'm just tuning in. Did Dr D interview and evaluate Jodi in person?

Yes, she did. For about 12 hours. And tested her.

 

[Schuby]

I'm just tuning in. Did Dr D interview and evaluate Jodi in person?

Yes, 12 hours. She indicated that the 44 hours ALV spent with Jodi was extremely unusual and that she would wonder if the person doing the interview was inexperienced, such as when one of her students that takes too long, lol

 

[katydid23]

I am kind of looking forward to JW's cross. Time for a little comic relief. :giggle:

 

[snowshuze]

I'm just tuning in. Did Dr D interview and evaluate Jodi in person?

Yes. Took 12 hrs,and she believes the 44 hrs it took AVL to interview was "extreme".

 

[LotusPawprint]

My real name begins with a J too... LOL!

Mine too.
My legal name is J. Lotus Pawprint - my parents were hippies with a touch of formal :genie:

 

[Tipstaff]

For the first time Jodi looks to me to be wearing eye shadow/liner. She doesn't want to suffer in comparison to this witness, looks-wise, if only to herself.

Now we know why she had the pencil in her shoe yesterday - to draw on make-up!

 

[Lorelilly]

HLN just took their lunch break. Man, they've got this down to a science!

 

[nursebeeme]

I'm just tuning in. Did Dr D interview and evaluate Jodi in person?

dude, she objectively TESTED her.

and more.

 

[TXProfessional]

There wasn't any evidence she lied on the MMPI. Therefore, it was a valid testing result.

As I heard the testimony

Thank you Carnnell for this info---that is great bc now the MMPI results have objective weight/meaning/validity. Knew she had PD/PD's but never expected her, the defendant, to answer honestly--JMO of course.

 

[lucegirl]

I think the "busy work" she is doing is to (attempt) to deflect the expert's testimony from sticking to her. I think she was told to do this. She's not "there", so the expert isn't talking about her. (Only it isn't working)

 

[GoAskAllie]

Also I wanted to add...

Don't let JD's comment about her score in the verbal index is the highest you can get confuse you. What she meant by that is that 136 falls in the category of very superior which is anything 130 or higher, and is the highest category. The categories are as follows:

130 and above - Very Superior
120 to 129 - Superior
110 to 119 - High Average
90 to 109 - Average
80 to 89 - Low Average
70 to 79 - Borderline
69 and below- Extremely Low*

So while 136 is strong, it is by far *NOT* the highest score you can receive. I believe the highest would be 160.

I would totally love to see the complete scores of JA's WAIS results. I love analyzing IQ results and what it tells you about the person. I'm weird like that.:rocker:

The best part about her verbal comprehension score--and the reason why JM had the doctor reference it in court--is that it completely debunks all the times she told Juan she didn't understand his question or know what he meant, etc. Complete and utter BS.

This is me when my wife makes herself a sandwich after I told her I didn't want one but changed my mind 5 mins later:

hahaha mike that is what happens!

 

[Litigatrix]

Hello all! GI Jane reporting for duty! (I had my reservist duty this week). From what see here it looks as though things are going well!!! I trust that our devilish murderer is being spoon fed her comeuppance?

 

[gauntlet]

** Just a reminder.....especially for folks at work. If you watch the WildAboutTrial feed, you can pause and rewind.

VERY HELPFUL!

Yep. As I said yesterday, only 30 mins though

 

[DeAnnaMisrahi]

Um I think she is listening to every word and her brain is taking in all that is going on around her and agree about the seething anger......because after all it is all about her and she loves when it is all about her.

She just doesn't like that this isn't so good for her so she is drawing hangmans on the paper. Now wouldn't that be an interesting 'test' for the witness to comment on?:floorlaugh:

I feel like someone like JA would be annoyed that they couldn't manipulate someone into believing them and DeMarte's testimony reflects that disbelief. lol. She paid much more attention to her own experts and she knew what they were going to be saying.

 

[Arabian Girl]

Sorry if this has already been posted but some lawyer on HLN was saying Nurmi gets a (sir?) rebuttal to JM's? Anyone know of this?? :banghead:

 

[katydid23]

I don't think the jury will have any questions for this witness.She is very clear in her assessment.I will be surprise if they do..

If they do, they will probably be really asking sincere questions that they want intelligent answers to. I doubt they will ask any sarcastic rude ones, like the previous two 'experts' were given.
