Wilmott: Do you have an opinion on her self-esteem?

Samuels: Yes, it's very low.


Geeze, ya think???

That would not be MY assessment....

Self centred/narcissistic would be my take

Samuels says that Jodi Arias has very low self-esteem. "It almost cried out to me," he said.

Martinez again objects when Samuels refers to "what we believe to be the true story."

Over the years since his first meeting with her, Samuels says, Arias' personality has strengthened and she has become more self-confident.

I cannot WAIT to hear the juror questions!! As of last week, there were 30 according to the judge.

Samuels recounts the story Arias told him about murder. Consistent with testimony, she only recalls onset and driving in desert afterward.

Samuels says that people often skirt the issues while relating traumatic experience. The blunt truth, he says, can break you down.

Blah, blah, blah......doctor is confirming everything Jodi said on the stand. Surprise, surprise.

So she got PTSD AFTER she slaughtered Travis. What does this have to do with the premeditation or anything else? It only attempts to explain her whole MESS of her stories and LIES for the past 4 years. She killed him and must be punished. End of story. This is such a waste of time and money.



(ok everyone....gotta run, having some Spring Breakers here for dinner.... )

Thanks for the updates Remote... you deserve a break

Blurring line between evaluation and providing help/therapy

He is to be doing IMPARTIAL evaluation

Martinez is 100% correct.

Samuels' role was to professionally assess her. An inmate who is suicidal should be evaluated by the jail psychiatrist. Samuels really had no place visiting her with the book at that time.

As a matter of fact, purchasing the book is inappropriate behavior for a psychologis - let alone a witness. It goes to his objectivity,
