Just poked in on the Justice FB page, and someone has suggested contacting the Long Island medium of tv fame so that she can channel Travis to find out the real truth. Delusion never ceases to amaze me.

Jodi can have borderline personality co-occuring with narcissistic. I just read that these two disorders co-occur 25% of the time in BPD. The concern with her reputation could be what she "thought" she should be concerned. Its like she thinks the news crews were going to be there...like she is marilyn monroe. (Marilyn btw was BPD with co-occurring substance abuse). the manipulation happens in BPD as well. To me this specialness and being a star is acting like something she has seen in the movies. JMHO
She said she was working 20 hours in one place, 20 hours in another place, and in addition she was teaching. You need to remember that her strongest point is performing and analyzing psychological tests, which she has been doing since 2004, that is why the prosecution hired her.
Someone commented that experience is not everything and I agree, you can see the difference between her and Dr. Samuels doing a shoddy work while performing the tests. It is obvious that the defense will try to attack her, but she is showing RELIABLE data, with RELIABLE instruments that have been used for DECADES to diagnose different things. There is an ocean of difference when you show RELIABLE data (Demarte) vs subjective interpretation (lLaViolette)
No, she wasn't combative, but she clearly was irritated, raised her voice a notch, and with firmness while correcting JW during the part JW was trying to point out that JDM waited a year before seeking licensure.. JDM had clearly stated why she waited a year, yet JW "forgot" that part and seemed to want that reason erased. They had a little go round at that point.
I thought JW was an extreme witch with her pounding statements about JDM having no compassion. Those were low blows. I'm sure JDM has a degree of compassion, but keeps it in check so she can evaluate without bias.
Just because the hours a week added up to 20, doesn't mean she just punched a clock in and out. In my past job, I worked full time, but I put in some of "my own time" evenings gathering info, making an individual plan for each person. So, to me, 20 hours a week really isn't accurate, it's just a number.
I thought yesterday was a good day. JM's Dr was very good on the stand with him. Her answers were short and to the point. She also got in some really GOOD statements about Jodi. And she pieced together just fine Dr. Fog's bubble sheets and how ridiculous his record keeping was. IMO, I bet the jury is picking up on the defense stalling just to keep the money meter going.
On the other side: If I was a defense lawyer, I would have also attacked her experience and the Dr's statement about compassion.
I thought Palin was doing good, but then she got all turned around and confused again.
I'm not sure how Palin is going to try to discredit her and rehab Alyce at the same time. I def. think Alyce did the most damage to the defense than any other witness. IMO, I don't think Alyce can be rehabbed to much with the jury.
From the people in the courtroom that observed-they all say the jury was writing notes yesterday, and they didn't look bored. I suspect that Palin will still attack the dr. today on experience, but I really don't think it's going to work that well at all. That is really all Palin has on this doctor.
HLN said that the defense also gets to do a rebuttal to the rebuttal. If that's true, that sucks!!
I'm sure both JM and JDM were expecting this line of questioning from the DT. JM obviously felt this witness's testimony, regardless of experience, would come across as credible, and it has. On the stand she was a breath of fresh air when being compared to RS And AL. Their testimony was forced, rehearsed and obviously tailored. The jurors will be able to tell the difference between the professionalism of JDM and RS/AL. Any impartial person can see the difference and understand when facts and information are being skewed in order to come to a pre determined outcome. JDM showed clear and concise reasons and unadulterated facts backing up her assessment of JA; while at the same time discrediting the defence witnesses less than impartial diagnoses. This witness is credible and this is why she is on the stand for the prosecution.
Yes. Dr. D should have said; No, I would not have supervised her in 1980, I would supervise her now....33 years later.
I love this video. One of the few times I actually laugh out loud, not just 'lol'

Thank you, and everyone who posted this. I really hate getting snippets, but beggars can't be choosers.
Cholas in da house! Now we see where she got the idea that wispy baby bangs are acceptable.
^This ^ Also, I love how when she gets into an explanation she exudes a slightly restrained exuberance. She must be an amazing teacher because it is obvious that she loves her profession.
I was wondering this too. I thought she kinda disappeared when the interrogation tapes of JA's mom and dad were released, but I could be wrong.
It's not that odd to me. People have been photographing their dead loved ones since the 1800's. I wish there was a video or photos of my grandfathers funeral when I 13. I try and remember details, but as time has gone on, my memory has faded drastically. Another reason to take pictures would be to send them to someone who wasn't able to make it to the funeral, but could maybe get some closure from viewing the pics.
I don't want JW to stop. The more she tries to "mirror" Juan, the more she shows HER inexperience. It is glaring and the jury, I'm sure, has noticed.
We are all sitting here as armchair experts in psychology, such an untouchable field of work. It's so not cut and dry like a job of bookkeeper, waitress, CEO of a company etc. Though some of JDM's employment seems short to us, we have absolutely no idea if that was enough time or not to apply her knowledge, then move onto another phase of psychology and apply her knowledge to that.
JW will attempt to rip her apart today. If JM retained her 2 years ago, he must have had great confidence in her, even then.
I think JW's attack on the word compassion will turn off the jury, that was really harsh. How does one answer the word compassion? No matter how JDM answers it, it's wrong in JW's eyes.
Wonder how long JW will keep Dr. DeMarte on the stand this morning?
I can't wait to get to the witness that is going to testify about the altercation at the Hughes house where JA confronted Skye and then refused to leave their home after being asked to. That's going to be fun to listen to.
I'm just catching up on the trial, since my live feed doesn't work well anymore, and I have to watch it on Youtube.
I really don't think this was a boom moment at all. In fact, Alyce LaViolette STILL has her masters. It doesn't matter when she got it. She hasn't gone any further in her education, so she would STILL be supervised by Dr. DeMarte.
I'm sorry but I think JW was being ridiculously catty and it isn't attractive.
It's not weird to take photos at a funeral. Well, I think it's weird, but people do it all the time, so it's normal.

Right, because the defense witness's seemed to over look that fact or take that (being incarcerated) into consideration.
JA was likely not used to, the feeling of not being in control.
So having depression or thoughts of suicide is not unlikely & being locked up surely has contributed to those feelings. I'd be willing to bet that at the times she indicated thoughts of suicide in her earlier years, were brought on by her love life, or lack of, & were only attention getting, even if only to herself.
I am sure we all have a time or two, been so depressed, that ugly thoughts arise. But imo people who threaten suicide seldom follow through with it. It is usually the opposite, one's whom had "never" threatened suicide, or say anything or give any real clues to what they plan to do.
