More on the doctor's career.

1:35 p.m. ET: LaViolette is back on the stand talking about her professional experience and how she has worked with police officers about how to handle domestic violence situations.

1:30 p.m. ET: Testimony should begin any minute.


(today is one of the few days I actually found the Live Blog on my own! )

Set her up to relate one of her "jokes" she uses in training sessions?

It didn't make me laugh??

Just heard on HLN that the "defense team" had to "interview" 6 people FIRST -
before they could find one who would testify for Jodi Arias, as THIS ONE IS DOING NOW.

Are we going to have 3 days of her credentials? How about her morals? Three seconds?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ SHE must need it - BAD!!!!

This is going to be REALLY TEDIOUS....

GREAT!!!!!!!
DRINK!!!



I needed that

Yep, sounds like there will be some "joking" or laughing they need to defuse....

"Has she ever been called a man-hater".... I would guess...........

YES!!

I'm always amazed how similar Willmott and Arias look!

I am not feeling diffused yet

Willmott asked for a sidebar drink.... refused

So because the expert didn't turn down this case, it must mean Arias is not lying about Travis being an "abuser."

How I wish the judge would refuse some of their sidebar drink requests!

1:45 p.m. ET: Defense attorney Willmott is asking LaViolette if she has every turned down the chance to testify in a criminal case, and why. Martinez objected to the relevance of the question, and now the attorneys are at a sidebar with the judge.

1:42 p.m. ET: The attorneys are at a sidebar with the judge.

1:41 p.m. ET:

“I use humor in my trainings because it’s such a serious topic and because it’s hard for people to listen. And some of my trainings are all-day trainings, but even if they’re two-hour trainings, it helps people to take it in. It’s easy to listen if you can occasionally laugh and spend some of the tension that you have when you’re hearing about things like this,” said LaViolette.

1:38 p.m. ET: Defense attorney Willmott and LaViolette seem to have a warm relationship. LaViolette cracked a joke and Willmott giggled and smiled. Arias is wearing a black shirt, and has part of her hair pulled back with a clip today.

So she's an equal-opportunity testifier.
$250 per hour for research/ $300 for court appearance!

"Have you EVER testified on behalf of a man"

Well............. I sat in court for 6 hours once... but never testified"

Glad you're here!

If HLN has ads? and inane commentary... you might be better off with the live stream linked above
