Thank you R.

Heard ONE question from the Jury so far for the good DR. Love it!!

"WHY are you nodding and smiling at Jodi?"

Good grief!! This is supposed to be an unbiased Dr. evaluating her. UNBIASED??

IF "IT" WALKS, God forbid like Casey, she already has one older Sugar Daddy it seems - in her
bull pen/stall!

I forgot, last night there was an FBI consultant on CSI who said
"Jodi is as GOOD as Ted Bundy ... as articulate and manipulative."

Just saw a new part of the video of Jodi in the interrogation room where she is *alone*
and again singing "O Holy Night".

Dr. Drew just said she is totally empty, mimics others, in actions, and dress. What is THAT ABOUT?
HOW does one get that way? Something wrong with their brain ... or rearing? And Travis Alexander
paid the price ... so far...

Afternoon, ALL!!!

Joni - You're kidding! There is actually a question from a juror that asks that??

Yes, I do believe Jodi is as "good" as Ted Bundy and empty, empty, empty. One of the hallmarks of a true sociopath, from my understanding, is that they are like chameleons. In other words, they mimic and take on the "victim's" beliefs and all other aspects.

Per usual.......trial does not commence on time.

Morning, Rumpole! Hope you're well rested.

I haven't been able to get a Live Blog either for today. Maybe once court begins?

Remote ... yes during an early discussion on HLN they read that one question that will be asked of her. WOW!

Some have asked "Why bother asking her questions? She is a liar!" Some "talking heads" have answered "They seem to like rubbing her NOSE in it!" Sounding good to me!! Like their thinking. Hope they ALL think like that.

Takes only 1 for a hung jury? Then what? Poor AZ has to pay for an entire new trial?
That is ALWAYS to the *advantage* of the defense I heard. They know the prosecutions style, what they have, and how they act, etc. Wouldn't be good.

Forewarned is forearmed.

This defense is blowing smoke screen after smoke screen.
Muddy the waters, confuse all.

Do EVERYTHING you can to take the spot light off the horrendous SLAUGHTER!

And awayyyyy we go.....

but wait. Judge just said, "Counsel please approach...."

DRINK!!!

Thanks for the info, Joni. It is just ludicrous to ask questions when everything is based on a LIE! I don't get it!

Heard the poor taxpayers are in for it for $863,000 so far!

Alexander's sisters look shook from the conference, but I couldn't speculate why.

Michael Kiefer michaelbkiefer
Did you use hypnosis on Ms. Arias or anyone else use it on her? No.
Do the lost memories ever return? Samuels says, not likely. "They were not recorded."

Michael Kiefer michaelbkiefer
Samuels says that when that is not possible, the mind moves on to fight.


Michael Kiefer michaelbkiefer
In fight or flight, does the body choose between them? Samuels says the tendency is to flee.

Yes, SHOW TIME!! And ... away we go! (Jackie Gleason)

Repeat questions on the hypnosis, repeat question on whether Samuels feels Jodi's memories are lost vs suppressed.


Michael Kiefer michaelbkiefer
Samuels says hypnosis is not usually worthwhile for recovering suppressed memories. "It's simply not cost effective."

Michael Kiefer michaelbkiefer
Can Samuels be sure Arias is not lying to him? Samuels says basic aspects of story are consistent. Strong probability she is now truthful.

Michael Kiefer michaelbkiefer
PTSD "is not a get-of-jail-free diagnosis." Samuels

Michael Kiefer michaelbkiefer
Is there 100% consensus in the memory loss theory? Samuels: "Psychology is not that precise."

Say What??

Samuels: I felt that once the story changed, she was finally telling the truth about really happened.

Remote ... SO THEN he RETESTED her to get the WHOLE TRUTH and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH??

I am watching on TV ... at home.

Joni, from what I understand, he answered the prosecutor when asked, that he NEVER "re-tested" or "re-diagnosed" her after the NINJA story!

It's good you can be here!

Michael Kiefer michaelbkiefer
Is Arias lying? Samuels says 30% of murderers suffer amnesia.

Loved the question asking if Jodi was on medication to treat this "curable PTSD" - Samuels went on to BS and of course, the ultimate answer is NO, she's not on medication.

Hmmm.
