Who's for someone 'accidentally' zapping Stabby with that so-visible stun belt today?

BPD!!!

[*crickets*]

To me, her entire demeanor is different today. Her face though made-up looks "steeled" today. She's not as masked but hardened and her eyes are snake-like. Her drawing and writing shows agitation. Seething is the perfect word. Heck, she might even be blaming Travis today...

Seething and agitated indeed. I've noticed the worse things are for her the more she writes. WriteywriteywriteyICan'tHearYouWriteywriteywritey. ..

Haha Calling out the booking photo where Stabby smiled.

This lady is awesome!! I'm still holding out for a Primal Fear meltdown.

[Brillig]

Jodi is "strange, immature and aberrant".

This witness is great!

Uh, EVERYBODY!

[ImBatman!]

Boom....Borderline Personality Disorder!!! I feel very validated!

[zeebee]

My goodness, this witness is so very well spoken and thorough. I can totally see why Juan chose her.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental health disorder that generates significant emotional instability. This can lead to a variety of other stressful mental and behavioral problems.

With borderline personality disorder, you may have a severely distorted self-image and feel worthless and fundamentally flawed. Anger, impulsiveness and frequent mood swings may push others away, even though you may desire to have loving and lasting relationships.

If you have borderline personality disorder, don't get discouraged. Many people with this disorder get better with treatment and can live satisfying lives.

Signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder may include:
Impulsive and risky behavior, such as risky driving, unsafe sex, gambling sprees or illegal drug use
Awareness of destructive behavior, including self-injury, but sometimes feeling unable to change it
Wide mood swings
Short but intense episodes of anxiety or depression
Inappropriate anger and antagonistic behavior, sometimes escalating into physical fights
Difficulty controlling emotions or impulses
Suicidal behavior
Feeling misunderstood, neglected, alone, empty or hopeless
Fear of being alone
Feelings of self-hate and self-loathing

I'm going to have to diagnose Small Man Syndrome on Juan too, he has issues. He can't just say "Dr. Samuels" in the normal flow of questioning. Must be ten times now. It has to be "Excuse me, (clears throat) DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKTOOOOR Samuels..."

Hate all you want, Juanbeliebers, but his case is far too strong to call for such theatrics. He's trying to clown the defense and they did a fine job of clowning themselves.

I agree. I do not think there is much more he needs to prove. I think its pretty much in the bag.
I believe he is very conscious of his height. Yesterday when he objected to JA tweets, he said she mentioned"the prosecutors height"..or lack of. I'm sure that was an ouch to him. I don't believe in calling defense or JM out on their supposed physical flaws. So unnecessary. If JM was on defense team, a lot of peeps on this board would be Yuck,he's a midget, shrimp, lilliputian etc.. Not nice at all. I am not fat, short, balding, or a lesbian so I am not personally offended. I just think looks comments stink.

Disclaimer: I am not a troll, a member of the JAII fan board, a defense team sweetheart, or Violet Planet. I believe JA is GUILTY AS SIN and will be found guilty of murder 1, as she should be. You all are still aces in my book!!

[UncomfortablyNumb]

Oh fuck....borderline personality disorder? I just text my bf and told him that I have the same diagnosis as a murderer and he needs to start locking the door when he showers.

Demarte knows the DSM off the top of her head. Samuels had to read from it. Stabby continuing to avoid Demarte at all costs.

[Brillig]

Notice Dr Demarte knows to stop answering a question when there is an objection. Something Alyce never did get the hang of. Speaks to ones professionalism in a courtroom setting.

Speaks to ones intelligence in general.

I wonder how many cases she has testified on... if they are few cases, the defense is going to attack her, also they are going to attack her because she only has had her PhD for 3 years, although she has extensive experience administrating tests

ALV has no PhD at all.

The difference between watching Dr. Janeen DeMarte testify versus Dr. Dogatemyhomework and Ms. Laviolette...

Is the same as watching Jodi in the interrogation room compared to her parents.

Clear, direct, objective responses --- truth vs. make believe.

Expert witness vs. hired advocate.

Exactly! This sums it up perfectly.

Yes, everyday it is lowered to make her look small and weak. It's an old trial trick used by defense attorneys who don't have much of a brain.

Or much of a case...

HeeHee...is that in the DSM alongside 'Batshit Crazy'?

Why yes, yes it is...

Not nervous...aggression, hostility, rage boiling. and externalizing blame. So she is furious and blames DeMarte for her fury.

She blames everyone but herself for everything that happens to her.

BPD!!!

Ta da!! BOOM.




And....

Dr. DM just called her "adolescent and saccharin".

Hit that nail right on the head!

DeMarte has youth, yes. Youth is not always a bad thing. Would you drive a new BMW or a 75 corvette (Samuels) or take a bus (Alyce)?

How are you seeing Demarte's rundown on Jodi's borderline personality disorder?

[M Joy]

Can I just say I appreciate that this testimony is on the defendant? So far we haven't heard a word about Travis. I wonder if JW will ask her about this. Her response could just be "I did not have the opportunity to interview Mr. Alexander".

[Estefaniia]

Jodi is such a bitch. She tries to ignore what JD is saying but you CAN tell she's paying attention. She makes certain movements when she DeMarte says something bad about her.

[bsather]

I wish someone in the jury would whip a tennis ball and drill Jodi in the head. Stupid ass.

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

Wow! Alyce said nothing about Stabby mirroring Darryl's ex wife

I think the jury is probably finding this very interesting!

[ShellJett]

I hope she says something about how she mirrors people.

[MartyT]

Superb expert witness so far. Arias' obvious immaturity is exhibited frequently. The Twitter incident shows a staggering lack of judgement and arrogance. This immaturity probably leads people to believe Arias is not very smart because she makes such dumb decisions. I am still not convinced Arias is very bright. Her use of language and ability to be deceitful let her fool some of the people some of the time.

[Harlette]

holy shit!!
