Tonite on "HLN After Dark" I will take you into our full-scale model of the #JodiArias crime scene with the #JodiJury @HLNtv 10pm eastern!
Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to this more than trial today?
OK Got it...Thanks so much....
I'm waiting for Judge's decision on Dr Fog myself. What HLN does won't impact the trial. I'm boycotting after dark. Baez fame makes me want to puke and I refuse to contribute to it.

Don't get me wrong. I'll be watching and hoping that the judge does the right thing in regards to not allowing him to talk about premeditation vs. spur of the moment crime scene.
HLN isn't very objective but I do enjoy the coverage they provide. What does Baez have to do with After Dark?
HLN is having Baez play JA's defender tonight.

Psychological Testing
Dr. Samuels utilized two psychological tests to evaluate Jodi Arias. These included The Millon Clinical Multi-Axial Inventory-III, Third Edition, MCMI-III (2009). The MCMI is a clinical instrument that involves 175 true and false questions (much shorter than comparable instruments) that takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Dr. Samuels stated that the test was electronically scored, a service which he considered a “second opinion.” The MCMI is designed to assist with a psychiatric diagnosis. It is not designed to provide a “second opinion.”
The second test he used was the Posttraumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale (PDS). The PDS is a paper-and-pencil or computerized administered test that takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. It consists of 49 items and it aids in the determination of a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis.
Psychological Tests Dr. Samuels Could Have, Should Have Done
A major concern with crime-related amnesia and the claim of memory loss, is malingering. Put more simply, it’s when a criminal claims to have amnesia, because it will help them avoid taking responsibility for the crime, but they are lying. There really is no amnesia.
James Tysse (2005) reviewed methods of assessing or testing potential cases of malingering amnesia. He notes that traditional psychological interviews (as was done in the case of Ms. Arias) are often not helpful since the defendant “can’t answer questions” since they claim to have no “memory.”
He recommends that a court-appointed expert can and should do more than just “interview the defendant.” He recommends the use of “Symptom Validity Testing” (SVT). This test, includes asking a series of true and false questions about the crime and its circumstances. The law of probability states that the defendants’ answers should be correct approximately half the time.

nother method of detecting malingering is the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS).The SIMS is a self-report questionnaire where defendants answer questions about their amnesia. The theory behind the SIMS is that a malingerer (liar) will exaggerate their symptoms. This was also not testified to by Dr. Samuels and it would have been most helpful in determining whether or not Jodi Arias is lying about her amnesia or the” fog.” Past research, published in peer-reviewed journals, has shown that the SIMS correctly identified 90% (or more) of the malingerers. Its use would have been most helpful in determining whether or not Jodi Arias is lying about her memory loss.
Its use, would have helped the expert to determine if she was lying. It’s lack of use, might suggest that the expert does not want to determine if she is lying. Here’s a line from Dr. Samuels website.
“……..case analysis and research contributes to a succinct report which often will result in a more favorable outcome for your client.”
This is a line for which he has received much criticism, and a line which might suggest a lack of objectivity. Is it a selling point of Dr. Samuels, to say that his work “will often result in a more favorable outcome for your client?” Is that something he strives for? Is that his goal, to produce a report that has a favorable outcome for your client? Shouldn’t he be producing a report, whose sole goal is to be thorough, complete and impartial? Whether or not the report “produces a favorable outcome for your client” should be irrelevant.

Not sure why that one post posted twice. Sorry kids!
Have you seen any of the shows? Baez isn't REALLY defending Jodi. He's just a guest lawyer.
Sneakers you are making way too much sense there, but don't forget that you get paid zero dollars to diagnose Jodi as a liar who doesn't have amnesia.
Do you want to pay Samuels with a new jacuzzi and some landscaping or do you want the truth?
I apologize! I didn't realize you don't know about reps. SORRY I go too fast sometimes, my fault. I'm watching videos, reading appeal cases, making homemade stew and reading twitter. about JA.
Can I make it up to you? : ) Link to Juan's court response to JAs motion to enter the 10 pedo letters 7-23-2010

Blame my Transient Global Amnesia. Sometimes the fog rolls in and I forget I'm not supposed o make sense.
OMG...have to share! I had to take my husband to emergency this morning. I live in Colorado, and I have HLN on in the room here and the nurse who just came in asked abut the trial, I told her where it was as far as who's testified & who's let & she says....my fried introduced them. I ask who & she's friends with the houghes....however you spell it...chris & sky. She's busy so I couldn't ask a lot of questions. Just a small world!
Hubby has a perforatted intestine...it's small & they think it will heal with antibiotics. Figers crossed it does. He has what's called diverticulitis. In case anyone is wondering.

Sneakers is just copy/pasting from other websites again. You didn't really think those were her own words, did you?
