Borderline personality disorder is supposedly very dangerous, no?

I guess we won't hear about LaV and what was found out.

I do know it cannot be "cured" and in some instances, dangerous.

About LaV - I'd love to know, too, what Martinez "uncovered." Only after the trial, I suppose, but by then, who will remember to look it up?

Deleting photos would be an example of why #JodiArias was not in a fight or flight mode. It is an organizational process explains DeMarte

6:29 p.m. ET: DeMarte said Arias engaged in multiple complex behaviors after killing Alexander, and she would not have been able to do that if she was experiencing a fight or flight response.

6:26 p.m. ET: DeMarte said there is some memory impairment when some experiences a fight or flight response, but it is not as long as Arias is reporting. The attorneys are now at another sidebar.

My azcentral feed has gone out.

Dissociative amnesia is something that builds up over time and not something that just develops over night and occurs for 4 hours

Not just us!

DeMarte recalls #JodiArias having "impeccable" memory. Jodi continues to write/draw as she has all day.


Whenever there are problems with the feed I am attacked and feel like I have battered tweeter syndrome (bts).

Looking into the live feed issue, it seems to be happening on not just our website but others. Sorry folks

6:36 p.m. ET: DeMarte is explaining how a fight or flight response affects the brain and causes memory lapses. She says this memory happens for only brief moments during the truama and does not last four hours like Arias has described.

6:45 p.m. ET: Martinez asked DeMarte to explaing "battered woman syndrome." DeMarte is that "battered woman syndrome" is when someone displays behaviors normally experienced by an individual who has suffered from domestic violence.

6:44 p.m. ET: DeMarte said she has also worked with children who were victims of domestic violence.

6:41 p.m. ET: DeMarte has worked with victims of domestic abuse and perpetrators of the abuse.

6:38 p.m ET: Martinez asked DeMarte to list all of her experiences she has had working with victims of domestic violence.

Willmott is UP!

6:47 p.m. ET: DeMarte said she does not believe Arias endured abuse from Alexander, because she was inconsistent with her stories when it came to Alexander's alleged abuse.

Dang, nothing about LaV. The defense must have won to protect her.

I think they resolved whatever issue they had with her yesterday. Darn.

6:56 p.m. ET: Willmott is asking DeMarte why she waited a year to get her license after she got her Ph.d.

6:52 p.m. ET: Martinez has wrapped his direct examination of DeMarte. Defense attorney Willmott is asking DeMarte questions on cross examination now.

6:49 p.m. ET: DeMarte is walking Martinez through the symptoms for battered woman syndrome, and Arias did not display any of those symptoms.

Willmott looks kind of pathetic trying to discredit DeMarte's CV.

Dr. DeMarte is having none of Willmott's "doubt."

HAH - When Willmott thought DeMarte had taken 2 months off (basically saying she was doing nothing) DeMarte says she was teaching. Willmott looked surprised! Yet she still tried to imply that DeMarte was doing "nothing" - and "only" like DeMarte was studying for her State Lic. Exam but DeMarte FIRMLY told her, "I was teaching."
