Jodi Ann Arias shot and stabbed her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander to death

[qtkitycat]

What nickname should we give to the domestic violence expert witness, Alyce LaViolette. That name is too darn long to type out every time. She's the one who is "famous" for saying that Snow White was an abused woman.

I'm gonna go with Ms. Cleo. You know, the one from psychics network that you could call for only $2.99 a second

[M Joy]

He won't be testifying at all today. So where does that leave us? With the DV expert?

I thought he was still taking the stand. Just not talking about certain things

[acertaingirl]

Dr Dick is a Gus Searcy clone, in looks and voice. He's a quack for hire.

If you close your eyes, he also sounds like Dr Michael Baden.

She is not a doctor. After her name she has "M.S. and MFCC"; these mean:

M.S. or M.A. - Masters of Science or Masters of Arts. These are the traditional degrees given by colleges of arts and sciences. In the United States, a master's degree in psychology has not been considered a "terminal degree." A psychologist (other than a school psychologist) generally needs a doctorate to be licensed. Some Canadian provinces license psychologists with a master's degree. A few US states are also beginning to do this.

M.F.C.C. is used in some states to identify a Marriage, Family, and Child Counselor

So...any ideas?
I'm thinking the easy one is ALV, but it is not very creative.

I'm thinking Alice in Wonderland...based on the nonsense her testimony is going to be about

dr lala, cuz thats where she lives

i wonder if palin dumped the hearing and wants to rush the dr. off because of the records that came out this weekend about his ethics?

[***JiLL***]

I thought he was still taking the stand. Just not talking about certain things

People on Twitter were all saying he wasn't testifying but I'm pretty sure they were wrong.

[Justice11]

Could it be that the defense wanted to distract JM for the weekend by going over what the "expert" was going to say? Maybe they figured he wouldn't have time to put together other questions if he was busy working on what ever they had already decided not to fight with. Does that make sense? It did in my head, but not so much now lol

I sure wouldn't put it past them. Not very ethical, is it?

[*crickets*]

Okay, recess until 11:00, then the usual 2 hour lunch break at noon...allrighty then, thanks guys!

[Brillig]

Hello guys, my first post here. I have a question for anyone here who may have the answer to it. Did the jury get to here the 911 call when Alexander's friends found his body? If so, did they hear the part where the female mentioned Jodi's name immediately?

Welcome, Bayou Queen!

He's not done, he's next.

Ok, so the defense dropped the motion and Dr. Samuels will not be on the stand. Not sure the reason why exactly yet. #JodiArias


???????

WAT has been having twitter issues this morning. I think that was a misspeak on their part.
WildAboutTrial‏@WildAboutTrial
I was in a total fog for 30 mins, now I know what #JodiArias is talking about. I can't remember anything.

I like it. Still long, but "Alice" would work. :)

Yes, you are right.

I'm gonna go with Ms. Cleo. You know, the one from psychics network that you could call for only $2.99 a second

LOL!

I think we should see what she looks like before we name her. ALV can do for now.

You're no fun. Party pooper!! ;)

Welcome. Yes they did hear the 911 tape.

[Jinkasaurus]

Is Dr. Samuels on cross today?

[Brillig]

I was convinced when I heard her on the 'sex' tape. Cancun kept coming up and it was obvious that her brain was spinning as she tried to lay paths for her future cover. Remember how she mentioned seeing Shakespeare during the recorded sex tape? Then she used the same cover in her post murder voice mail to Travis. This premeditation began before she moved back in April. Premeditation layers have been built beautifully by Martinez. Link the evidence together the evidence and reasonable doubt would only be found by the dumbest of jurors.

I think this seems plausible. I have even wondered if the moving back to Yreka was part of the whole plan, because since she had to know she would be a suspect, she thought that living farther away would give her a better shot at an alibi? If she lived 10 minutes away, an alibi would be hard to manufacture. If she lived 1,000 miles away, however....

[poppym]

Nurmi wanted Dave Hall's video but then Martinez subpoenaed him as prosecution witness. He would use Dave Hall to counter anything the defense tried to get out of the video.

It would be hard though, jmo, for the defense to establish a foundation to enter the video as evidence without Dave Hall's testimony as to the where/when/why/how.

Did you notice the pats of support Dave Hall got from family and friends when he had to leave the courtroom that day.

It was like "Gaun Yersel Dave!"

costa rica not PR

I think you are dead on about the knife/gun. Victor Arias was a b/f Stabby claimed to have in Puerto Rico while she was there as an "exchange student" . Not quite sure how she qualified as an "exchange student" since she quit school at 17, before she graduated. he was supposedly another boyfriend that she had a "gut feeling" was cheating on her.

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

In response to Wilmont's question about Transient Global Amnesia Dr Dick says "apparently many things can cause it'

Apparently? Then he says he read only one article/study before he diagnosed Stabby?

Am I hearing this right?

I like "LAVA"

[***JiLL***]

His testimony should not be allowed. What he is saying is true but that doesn't mean that it relates to Jodi ONE BIT.

[Jillee]

This quack is insulting the jury's intelligence.

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

I'm confused already. Samuels just stated Stabby does not suffer from Trans Global Amnesia. Then why talk about it?

[Ian 1]

In response to Wilmont's question about Transient Global Amnesia Dr Dick says "apparently many things can cause it'

He also just said that 3 to 8 percent of every 100,000 reported cases suffered T.G.A. while on Thursday he testified 3 to 8 cases out of every 100,000 cases.

This guy is winging it.

[Kristinella]

Of course trauma or stress can have a part in dissasociative amnesia, but I don't buy that Jodi had this at all.
