"Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are" --- Benjamin Franklin
Im gonna comment on Alyce even though I got 4 more pages to read. Here's how I am viewing Alyce.
You may remember the testimony regarding Alyce's apology to JA for reading her most personal private journals. She apologized after spending about 7 hours reviewing written materials but before she met JA. When she was pressed to explain why she apologized she fumbled around saying the journals were sort of sancroscant like reading her daughter's journal. Once she said that her facial expression changed dramatically as if to say "oh shit, did I really say that?" As her testimony continues she gives reasons for her opinion based upon having adult children - from the perspective of being a mother. This tells me Alyce is having countertransference with Jodi.
Countertransference is a psychological phenomenon in which the therapist has feelings about their client based upon the therapist's life history and clouds the judgement. Alyce is acting and evaluating Jodi as she would her own daughter. This could very well be due to Jodi reading Alyce and sensing she has issues surrounding her daughter. Jodi in turn would work that weakness. Alyce entered this case influenced by something other than JA and the truth of the matter. I dont think it is about money or fame...its about her own personal needs and emotions.
My dog Lucy has been talking to me with those Lassie yips and whines. Gotta check on Timmy to see if he is stuck in the well (again).
Here is the wiki summary on countertransference.

In chambers????
She laid it out quite clearly in her Settlement Memorandum.

The family and the state had a pretty clear idea that Stabby was going to go scorched earth on TA and anyone remotely connected to him.
Still doesn't make it any easier.![]()
oooooo judge looks pissed. "In chambers" I bet its about Samantha being visibly upset in presence of jury...
Out, damned spot! out, I say! .... Here?s the smell of the blood still: all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand!

If I don't have concrete evidence that something happened...guess what? It didn't happen! Jodi is such a fucking liar and because of my knowledge both personally and professionally I still would have never taken this case!!
this goes back to someones post about having direct experience in a certain issue...To be a therapist you do not have the experience to be able to help someone. Good god...if I had to have personal experience in every single aspect of what I provide therapy for I guarantee I would be dead!!! I have direct experience with a lot of issues not so much. I chose not to counsel some because of either a personal bias or really just know knowledge of the issue. I choose not to counsel domestic violence persons..why? Because I have way too much personal experience and it may cloud how I counsel.

Hearsay Alyce
Part 2 of the morning session
Alyce is back on the stand. JM is still up for the state. Alyce is still saying that there is no proof that Jodi was a stalker.
Didn't Jodi have sex with Travis on Jan 21, 2008? No I don't have evidence of that.
Didn't she continue to have sex after that? Yes
Wouldn't it be important to know when she told Matt about the Pedo? Not really.
She continued to have sex and go on trips with him.
Are you applying a different standard to Jodi and stalking? They are two different dynamics.
EX 558- Abuse and Stalking are listed on Alyce's chart.
Jodi had family issues didn't she? Objection from Palin.
Approach
Jodi had family issues. Jodi's father was less than truthful. The father makes sexual comments to her. Dad was mean. The dad pushed her and dad was controlling with the mother. Mom use to beat her with a wooden spoon.
Pedo- Alyce told JM that Travis was on the computer with the Pedo during one interview with JM. Alyce now says she misspoke. This was in Nov 2012. Alyce says that Jodi did NOT tell her that, it was a mistake. Alyce said it 3 times during that Nov interview with JM. JM is saying that Alyce changed her testimony or Alyce was sloppy with her paperwork. Alyce responds that she made a mistake.
You knew this was important and you were being paid for it? Yes.
You were wrong about several things? Yes
Did you prepare for that interview and reviewed your notes? Yes.
Alyce says it doesn't matter if the porn was on the computer or the bed-and that there were pictures.
Have you ever seen the pictures? No
The diary doesn't mention it either, right? Right
Jan 24, 2008 EX 456- Diary- Nothing noteworthy to report entry.
Alyce says it was part of the "promise" to not write it.
Alyce just admitted that she is basically reading between the lines of Jodi's word in her diary. "Nothing Noteworthy" to Alyce means "Something noteworthy" happened.
Alyce says she is not an expert on Pedo or sex addiction. Alyce says Jodi has a broken finger. Alyce believes the Pedo.
Do you believe Travis was whacking off to children? Yes
Alyce believes what she believes because she read. Alyce believes there is DV involved and that's all she is here to talk about.
Is there reason to believe the Pedo story? Alyce says that Travis talks about Porking a little girl. JM corrects her and says that was the sex tape. (OMG, this chick is unbelievable)
Spiderwear underwear- Do you know how Cameron Diaz? Yes
Wasn't she wearing Spiderman underwear in Charlie's Angels? I don't know
Hiccup on my computer
Is there any evidence that Travis ever hurt Jodi? No
Is there any medical or police reports? No
So you decided to believe Jodi's word? Most women don't report
Alyce says it's not stalking b/c Travis was still seeing her.
Dildo with a heartbeat- Doesn't that statement show that Travis feels abused? Objection
That's not a good thing is it? No it's not.
Alyce is now bashing Travis on the stand.
JM asks for an approach.
EX 558- and EX ??- JM shows Alyce's charts. Manipulative people can cause abuse. JM says that Jodi was the abuser in this relationship. Alyce says she doesn't think so.
Lunch until 1:30

"...Jeffrey Dahmer... actually confessed and accepted his punishment. Had real remorse for the sick things he did. It's pretty bad when Jeffrey Dahmer is a better person than you are." ~Justice11 (re: Jodi Arias)
With the way things are going, I would be surprised if JM didn't bring out an autopsy photo. ALV is the DV expert right? Well this is domestic violence if I ever saw any! (referring to what JA did to Travis).
I hope thats not why. Judge doesn't seem like she'd be pissed about the victims family being emotional. She's let a lot worse things slide than that.

When Jodi is sitting there quietly writing or drawing, she makes me think of a child who is at work with a parent & is keeping herself busy while the parent works.
these people HAVE to be trolls. it's unreal.
I think that is giving her too much credit. She hates men. Plain and simple. She will believe a woman over a man any day even when the evidence suggests otherwise. I dont think she is transferring feelings for her daughter towards Jodi, I think it is simply a hate for men. JMO!
Karma is only a bitch if you are!
