trial day 50: REBUTTAL; #152

[VictimsSide]

I am fairly sure HHJSS said to be back at 1:20 AZ time, so that would mean afternoon session should start promptly at 1:52 AZ time

JW acting tough with the witness isn't a problem. JM is as tough as one can get. The problem is that JW is not the side of truth so that's already something that is to her disadvantage. Also, she is not skilled in cross-examining witnesses. When she tries to get all tough Demarte somehow manages to make JW look incompetent and ignorant. JW doesn't know when and how to pick her battles so she loses each and everyone of them.

.....yeah she really does appear to "fail by comparison".....she should know when to :trucen a point, rather than ..:deadhorse:

Just got here, friends. :seeya: Is Dr. DM still on the stand and is Willmott still questioning? Any big moments today? Is court scheduled back in 22 minutes?

That's what I thought watching it yesterday. She seemed to be ignorant of the most basic facts of one getting a PhD. By the way, how long has Wilmont been a practicing defense attorney? This just might be a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

:woohoo:

 

[jillnors2]

She smiles even when she is angry. That scares and concerns me.

Willmott looks absolutely unhinged today. Hopefully she took some meds at lunch.

Loving Dr D, she is fabulous

:seeya:

1. Yes and yes.
2. Several jaw-droppers, all of them related to Dr. D stonewalling JW's line of questioning (and reminding JW that her ability to contextualize TA's text message comments was greatly hindered by the fact that he is no longer alive, but there were many more).
3. Supposed to be back at 1:25 Arizona time. :drumroll:

I get a real sense that JW is seething with anger lately. My DH said that she must have read some social media accounts about yesterday. She's really aggressive in a bad way today.

Maybe Dr. D should remind her that the way JW presents herself in the delivery of her questions directly reflects on the fact that she knows Dr. D is an excellent witness and probably is telling the truth. So far JW has not been able to discredit any of Dr. D's findings. lol

Good Afternoon Peeps.

I take it there is nothing noteworthy to report from this morning? More of the same, JW going on and on, and Dr. DeMarte outsmarting her? :waitasec:

 

[Maryann123]

If there were thousands and thousands of text, email, and IM's, and only 4 or 5 times that Travis called her names, isn't that considered rare? And forgive me for not thinking Travis was an abuser, but can you please tell us why he was that angry with her? If you only throw out part of the conversation, how can a conclusion be drawn as to whether he had a right to call her evil, etc. How do we know Travis didn't contract a STD, thus the reference to the "wh---" comment. Although, the words my be considered abusive if untrue, maybe they were accurate. I hope the jury sees it like I do.

I am taking these words at face value.

SARA™
Spousal Assault Risk Assessment Guide
The Spousal Assault Risk Assessment Guide (SARA) helps criminal justice professionals predict the likelihood of domestic violence. The tool is a quality-control checklist that determines the extent to which a professional has assessed risk factors of crucial predictive importance according to clinical and empirical literature.

With 20 items, the SARA assessment screens for risk factors in individuals suspected of or being treated for spousal or family-related assault. The SARA can help determine the degree to which an individual poses a threat to his spouse, children, family members, or other people involved.

The instrument can be used by members of various boards or tribunals (e.g., parole and review boards, professional ethics committees, etc.), lawyers, victims’ rights advocates, and prisoners’ rights advocates

THANK YOU!

do you happen to know what the motion is in regards to about Dr. D and the SARA? Is DT trying t keep that test and its results out and if so, why?

 

[Sleuths4Me]

So will JW finish today?

 

[JusticeJunkie]

Doors closed on my fingers again. lol

I've heard this story over and over and it's always the same. Guys almost uniformly report that the sex is mind blowing/fabulous, but then there is a price that must be paid.

Eventually, the BP has their partner double thinking every thought word and deed to insure that it will not set off the BP. Life becomes very small. No matter what you do or say to reassure the BP and prove your love, they will immediately move the goal posts. Their partners can NEVER win and they can NEVER be satisfied.

As someone who had a year and a half relationship with a bona fide Borderline Personality (forensically diagnosed after the fact by a therapist) I will share this little bit of relationship goodness.

Like a proper borderline I existed in two states to her: Hero and Villian. When I was a villian, which could happen at a moments notice, I became responsible for all her troubles, even ones that predated me. In this state she was incredibly vindictive. Remember, I didn't know she was BPD at the time and, confirmation bias aside, her behavior only makes sense within the frameword of BPD. Anyway, when she was feeling particularly slighted she would expend all necessary energy to provoke me. There was a learning curve to learning not to be suckered in by this, which was hard because she, in keeping with her diagnosis, knew what buttons to press.

One thing I refuse to do in a relationship is have "relationship critical" conversations via text message. She's one of the reasons for that. Eventually some of my exasperated texts came to a person of authority who, to their credit, recognized she was nuts. Part of their questioning what a terrible, horrible person I was was recognition that my "abusive" texts existed in isolation. She never provided the texts leading up to them, which is a great big red flag.

If you want to know how the story ends, I eventually became afraid of her vindictiveness and her knack for revenge by proxy and, after some false starts in the "I will just be your supportive acquaintance" department, I completely and utterly cut off all contact with her. Sue me, she was inteligent, charming, engaging, looked like an updated Katherine Hepburn and was bat-poo crazy.

That Wilmott is attempting to make a case that Travis was abusive, even if he used "unhealthy" language, by isolating his text that were reactions to Jodi's Borderline behavior, intrusiveness, vindictiveness and just plain crazy shows what a sac de scum Wilmott is.

Seriously, it makes you want to hand a date the MMPI and have her fill it out before the salad comes.

Thanks to you both for sharing. To someone like me, still trying to get inside the heads of peeps like this, this information helps me understand.
I'm sorry for anyone who has had to experience something like this, and I hope you all know the good you are doing for others by sharing.
God bless. :clap:

Yes. One really bizarre moment today was JW confrontational reaction to DrD citing, as one indication that Jodi wasn't in a fog, that the camera had "gone through a cycle" in the washer. JW seemed to be in essence calling DrD a liar, or at least suggesting she had info she shouldn't have had. What was up with that?

 

[Kensie]

I have been called every name in the book by the better half. I guess I can claim domestic abuse. What a joke JW is implying where Travis called JA bad names. 90 percent of the population can probably claim domestic abuse based on name calling.
