Regarding pds answer sheet, do you know who's handwriting is on the sheet?

Do you know what the differences are between the TSI1 and the TSI2?

7:01 p.m. ET: The attorneys are at a sidebar right now.

7:00 p.m. ET: One juror asked: Do you know whose handwriting is on the PDS answer sheet? Martinez is trying to find the answer sheet now.

6:59 p.m. ET: One juror asked: Do you consider Arias shooting, stabbing and slitting Alexander's throat a traumatic event? DeMarte said it all depends on the person's reaction to the event. If the person was horrified then yes it could be traumatic according to DeMarte.

6:57 p.m. ET: One juror asked: Do you think trying to delete photos and washing the camera as an attempt to destroy evidence?

DeMarte said yes she believes it gives the impression Arias was trying to destroy evidence.

6:54 p.m. ET: DeMarte said moments of invalidation throughout someone's life can cause a borderline personality disorder. She gave this example of a moment of invalidation: When a child skins a knee and the parents tells the child to stop crying, because they aren't hurt.

6:50 p.m. ET: Judge Stephens is asking DeMarte questions from the jurors. A juror asked: If would you throw out a PDS if test if the test taker lied and said a bear attack them when a tiger really attacked them? DeMarte said yes she would through out the results, because it was a different event.

Do you see any issues with Dr. Samuels filling out the answer sheet and summarizing them?

JodiArias is paying attention to the jury questions. She just looked back at her family for a moment. Counsel is visiting staple lady.



7:03 p.m. ET: DeMarte said psychologist Richard Samuals should not have filled out Arias PDS answer sheet.

Juan is done, he had one quick question. Willmott is back up now.

Does it cause any concern for you that the written answers are written by someone familiar with psychological knowledge vs a layman?

WildAboutTrial WildAboutTrial 1m

Dr. D has never used the TSI2.

Willmott is going over the TSI1 and TSI2 and why Dr. D didn't use the TSI2 when it was released already.


Nurmi laughing in the background with DeMarte frustrating Willmott over this back and forth!

7:08 p.m. ET: Willmott asked DeMarte if Arias scored high on anxiety and depression on both TSI tests she gave to Arias. DeMarte said Arias did score in those categories in both times the test was adminstered.

7:05 p.m. ET: Martinez is now asking DeMarte follow up questions. He asked her how many forensic evaluations she has conducted. DeMarte said she has conducted nearly 75 evaluations. That was the only follow up question Martinez had, and now Willmott is asking follow up questions.

No court Friday or Monday... report back Tuesday 9:30

Trial will resume on Tuesday at 9:30 am. Thanks for following along with the Wild! #JodiArias

Willmott is done. There are no more questions from the jury. Looks like court is over for the day/week.

7:13 p.m. ET: Willmott has wrapped her follow up questions, and the jury doesn't have any more questions for DeMarte. Judge Stephens has recessed court until next Tuesday.

7:12 p.m. ET: Our producer in the courtroom says Demarte answered 19 questions from the jury and there were three related to her experience.

Judge and attorneys call the guard to the bench.

Are they asking the guard if he heard Willmott say, "Bitch?"

Some woman was telling Vinnie that there IS some help now for Borderline Personality. She named the person who is doing it... hmmm.

"Snarky" is SO hard to take ... so abrasive. Juan is going for the truth, - and score some personal brownie points I think!

How much more of this tap dancing? When will Closing Arguments start?

Does ALL OF THIS REALLY MATTER? Where IS the essence of it all?

Remote I think she said WITCH.

No no, only kidding.

Live blog: Experts in Arias trial in psychological war?
By Graham Winch
updated 7:29 PM EDT, Thu April 18, 2013

Experts in the Jodi Arias trial are battling over different diagnoses for the defendant.

Earlier in the trial, psychologist Richard Samuels testified on behalf of the defense that Arias can't remember details of killing her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander because she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Domestic violence expert Alyce LaViolette also testified for the defense that Alexander's alleged abuse of Arias culminated in a fight forcing her to kill him in self-defense. LaViolette also said Arias displays symptoms consistent with those of a battered woman.

This week, prosecution witness and psychologist Janeen DeMarte has tried to dismantle the defense argument that Arias was an abused woman who had no other option than to kill in self-defense. DeMarte has called the defense experts biased and flat-out wrong. She has also supplied her own diagnosis for Arias: "borderline personality disorder."

She compared a person suffering from this type of disorder to an immature teenager with identity issues.

I have read that if taking drugs, Pot, etc., that arrests the emotional growth of that person during the time they take in.

Like if they start say at age 20 - and take them till age 30, they have LOST 10 years of normal emotional growth.

IF they stop at age 30 then, they have the emotional level of a 20 year old and will start emotional growth from then on.

Jodi is immature the Dr. said. I agree with her. Maybe she is brain fried somewhat too? Who knows... something is WAY WAY WAY OFF!

She is drawing today too? I have been in and out of here.

Just turned on TV and it was on Nancy Grace - the caption at the bottom of her show said:

Expert Screams at Defense: I can't analyze Travis's words because he is dead.


That Nancy Grace really ANNOYS me!! Did I miss that somehow?? WHEN did DeMarte EVER SCREAM at Willmott (who really did deserve it)??

Joni!

Or maybe she caught something while sitting so close to Jodi and said: Ihavean ITCH!

Ha ha ha ha Remote!

I heard Dr. DeMarte and she did NOT SCREAM!!! I AM!!!

She was a great Basketball player. Great one! You can see some of her drive, anger, strength eh?

They think Jodi was told NOT to draw Dr. Drew's court witnesses said. She wasn't.

She could STUDY her "copy" though, I bet. Does take a lot of concentration, time and study.

Actually, I think shetland pony willmot called Demarte a "Snitch."
