1:50 p.m. ET: LaViolette's pay rate for forensic analysis is $300 for research per hour, and $250 for appearances per hour.

1:49 p.m. ET: The defense retained LaViolette in the Arias case in the Fall of 2011.

1:47 p.m. ET: LaViolette said she turned down a case yesterday, because she did not have time to dedicate to it. She has also turned down cases, because of a lack of evidence. She said she has testified about 18 times in different criminal cases.

Now Willmott mentions "isolated incidents" to cover lack of any proof or of just ONE actual incident.

(my eyeballs are getting a workout today!!)

DRINK!!!


Objecting to crap chart thing she produced being admitted into evidence

Now downgrading "violence" to "aggression" (sounds like she's going to tie it to the Arias restaurant failures/financial problems for the "aggression" - which could be a "slap" - to occur).

Crap chart thing

This is sounding more and more like testimony tailor-made to fit the situation. All of Jodi's behavior and actions conveniently follow whatever diagnosis they can check the most boxes for! Viola!

Now, making it clear they are not engaging in "character assassination" because they are not "name calling." Wow. What a massive set-up the defense is creating in order to "go to town" on Travis and the Arias family.

2:04 p.m. ET: Defense attorney Willmott asked LaViolette if a high-conflict couple is abusive. LaViolette said there is controversy over whether a relationship where anger has eroded goodwill is considered abusive.

2:02 p.m. ET: LaViolette said usually a male partner can become more aggressive when the female is aggressive as well.

2:01 p.m. ET: LaViolette is now explaining that a more severe stage of aggression is when anger, becomes a problem in the relationship and it erodes the relationship.

1:59 p.m. ET: The continuum begins with isolated acts of aggression that don't necessarily mean someone is abusive.

1:57 p.m. ET: LaViolette is explaining a continuum of abuse she created that shows the range of abuse can appear in relationships and families.

But.... but.... but..... Travis is "The Victim"..... it is against JQ rules to "bash" a victim

2:11 p.m. ET: LaViolette is explaining how the abuser who fall in most severe columns in her abuse continuum believe abuse and violence have belief systems that reinforce their attitudes about abuse. They believe violence is ok way to handle things.

2:08 p.m. ET: The programs LaViolette has created for men help them understand how their actions affect their loved ones even if it isn't physical.

2:06 p.m. ET: LaViolette is explaining the difference between name calling and character assignation. Now she is explaining the difference between verbal and psychological abuse.

The texting/Stalking/Jealous behavior the Dr. is describing is everything that JODI had done to Travis. Don't get this.

2:18 p.m. ET: LaViolette is explaining all the ways abusive men can control their partners. She said men can even use technology like gps monitoring and cell phones to keep constant tabs on their partners.

2:17 p.m. ET:

“For the most part, in these relationships… they occur within the family and these people, many of them are very well-thought of in the community, they are very well appreciated because it would surprise anybody to think that this person was acting out at all. It would throw people off. And so they’re more concerned with how they appear to other people,” said LaViolette.

I understand questioning to establish qualifications and experience... but this is just a general lesson on her VIEW of life (abusive men's motives)... is she giving evidence in a trial or presenting a paper on the abused woman's view of abusive men

Huge lesson in Anti-social personality disorder/sociopathy.

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt.

2:22 p.m. ET: LaViolette said domestic violence usually escalates over time. For example, anger and yelling can eventually turn into physical abuse.

2:21 p.m. ET:

“[The abuse] doesn’t have to happen every day to create a mood. It could happen every two months. It really depends on the nature of what’s being said, the nature of what’s being done and how the person receives that,” said LaViolette.
