Move Along, Jenny on the Block: Jury Asks Expert Witness Dr. DeMarte ONLY 19 Questions

Willmott continued her annoying line of questioning this morning. She attempted to "intimidate" Dr. DeMarte (what a joke!) and tried to pull a Juan Martinez with her barrage of questions. She needs to go back to traffic court. The funniest thing is that she supposedly specializes in teaching other lawyers how to cross-examine witnesses. She is obviously a bad teacher because her whiny attempts to discredit DeMarte didn't work - yeah, okay, move along, Jenny on the (Chopping) Block.

Willmott's contribution to the defense is an absolute joke, and Nurmi just sat there like a bump on a log with his unprofessional slouchy posture...sorry to wake you from your nap, Nurmi! What a disrespectful slug! She is completely out of her league as she tried to mimic Juan Martinez's rapid-fire questioning...talk about a big fail. 

What did we learn from Willmott's sad charade today? 

DeMarte is a professional, credible, and knowledgeable psychologist AND knows how to properly administer psychological testing (unlike Alyce in La-La Land and Dr. Dick). Jenny could talk until she was blue in the face about TS1 vs. TS2 - who cares? DeMarte was able to logically and calmly answer Willmott's questions AND she wasn't rude or combative unlike Dumb and Dumber! Major points to Dr. DeMarte for being a mature, professional adult! Although, I know Dr. DeMarte was secretly thinking: suck it, Jenny! Your witnesses are dunces and I rule the school! 


Fun 'Psychological' Facts of Jodi Arias  by Dr. DeMarte...Courtesy of Juan Martinez


Hey Jenny on the Block, listen to the words comin' outta Dr. DeMarte's mouth: Jodi Arias does NOT HAVE PTSD. She has borderline personality disorder (BPD). According to DeMarte, here are the characteristics that identified Arias as BPD:

• Quick-changing emotions - her emotions were up and down and ranged from happy to sad  in a short amount of time in her journal entries (and throw in her suicidal thoughts)...I love him, I hate him, I love him, I don't want to live, I hate him, I love him, I can't live without him, etc. 

• Tendency to be dramatic - yeah like to the 1000th degree--wahh boohoo, I'm a crybaby, let me conjure up some fake tears...

• Feelings of emptiness - DeMarte said Arias had feelings of emptiness inside her throughout her ENTIRE life (not just after she killed Travis)

• Tendency to feel very angry and upset -- "inappropriate intense anger"--she had a lot of rage going on...to the point of killing Travis and stabbing him 29 times! 

Hmmm, now let's look at her conversion to the Mormon faith (after only two months of meeting Travis). Dr. Demarte pointed this out which indicated "identity disturbance" - oh, look another symptom of borderline personality disorder. Imagine that!


Character assassination doesn't equal abuse: Travis called her names out of frustration and anger, and I tend to agree that there was  truth in his words - I concur that she is an evil devil. Dr. DeMarte talked about the heated conversation, between Alexander and Arias, was a result of the fact that she had crossed boundaries (like stalking and whatnot), and that's why his anger escalated throughout the conversation. That's not abuse - that's just getting pissed off someone who doesn't respect you and invades your personal space and privacy! I would be pissed too! To sum it up: Jodi Arias was NOT abused (how many more times can this be said?!!!) 

And Dr. Dick got his hand slapped again for his crappy testing protocol - according to DeMarte, he should NOT have filled out Arias' PDS answer sheet. Tsk tsk. 

Jurors Ask DeMarte ONLY 19 Questions - Translation: DeMarte is Actually a Credible Witness!

Here is a list of my favorite questions that were asked today by the jury:

Who is at risk for borderline personality disorder? 

• Someone who was exposed to trauma and neglect in their life -  yes, Jodi Arias. Invalidation by parents and family members - yes, Jodi Arias

Do you think her "mark my words" statement and smiling during the interview means she has borderline personality disorder?

• This is an example of her self-esteem and immaturity - this was an immature statement which is consistent with borderline personality disorder - yes, that would be Jodi Arias.

Here's a no-brainer:

If she would throw out a PDS test if the test taker lied and said a bear attacked them instead of a tiger a tiger really attacked them? 

• Dr. DeMarte's answer: yes, she would throw out the results, because it was a different event. 
• Tiger. Bear. Yeah, two different animals. You know... like this possible scenario:...a ninja intruder killed Travis (a lie) vs. Jodi killed Travis (the truth). 

The jurors also asked DeMarte about the camera: 

Do you think trying to delete photos and washing the camera was an attempt to destroy evidence?

• DUHHH!!! YES!!! Of course, she was trying to destroy the evidence. Yeah, there goes the fog theory. Oh, darn that selective amnesia!

Other fun tidbits we learned today from Dr. DeMarte - add these to your notes, jurors:

• Arias got the phone number of a dude she met on the airplane and called him RIGHT after she attended Travis' memorial service - oh yeah, she was really upset and sad about Travis!! 

• She stole an engagement ring from Travis (that he bought for another woman).

Willmott continued to whine and attempt to discredit the validity of DeMarte tests (she got uppity with DeMarte at times, but DeMarte kept her cool!). Martinez asked more questions after the jury questions and he confirmed what we already know: DeMarte is a credible, valid psychologist who knows what she is talking about and Jenny on the Block is NOT Juan Martinez.

My observation of Jodi Arias throughout the day: she constantly looked pissed off as Dr. DeMarte talked. It was fun to watch. It is blatantly obvious that she does not like DeMarte...because she knows she is officially screwed now after this very compelling evidence that blew the lame defense witnesses' credibility outta the water. Oh yeah, and she doesn't like to hear a beautiful, composed, savvy, intelligent woman like Dr. DeMarte check off her laundry list of personality disorder symptoms. The steam was coming out of her ears and I just chuckled as the batshit crazy wheels kept turning inside her head! 

Please note: NOT all people who are diagnosed with personality disorders are violent criminals. Most people with borderline personality disorder are more of a danger to themselves, and are not a danger to society nor do they harm others. 

Court is recessed until next Tuesday!! Justice for Travis Alexander!!

Does Willmott Really Call Dr. DeMarte the B Word? You Be the Judge!

I didn't catch this morning's testimony due to other real-life obligations. In true manipulative form, Arias faked one of her "migraines" this afternoon (why court was recessed early this afternoon). She was pretending to "look" sick and that puke-green shirt didn't help her sallow coloring either.

I think Arias just couldn't stand looking at DeMarte because she is prettier, smarter and more LOGICAL than Arias and her moronic defense team....and their lame witnesses. Not to mention, she is delaying the inevitable and stalling for time. If you are counting, this is her third "migraine" excuse she's pulled throughout the trial.

I had a lame Twitter idiot/Arias lover tell me that she didn't like my blog (thanks for the publicity) and that she didn't find a 30 year old psychologist to be a credible witness. I would take Dr. DeMarte's CREDIBLE, intelligent testimony over the team of Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest (Arias, Dick Samuels, and LaViolette). Enough said! 

This will be a short post tonight since I need to catch up with the trial highlights but I doubt I missed much - just the usual spewing of Willmott with her whiny voice trying to prove that DeMarte isn't a credible psychologist. Not gonna happen. You know, the voice that sounds like Charlie Brown's mother - wah wah wahwahwhwhwahahah!! 

Ohhh NO She Dinnttt...or Did She? 

The supposed "B word" bomb by Willmott is posted below - there is a hot debate that Willmott called DeMarte a bitch under her breath. I have listened to this clip repeatedly and I'm on the fence. I have good hearing and I'm not quite sure what she says. We discussed this clip in my Facebook group and the majority of the members think she does call DeMarte a bitch. 

You be the judge - what do you think?

A big shout out to EggTree News Blog - this is a hilarious blog! If you want a really good laugh about the trial, check it out! So FUNNY! I couldn't stop laughing over the nicknames that the blogger gives the defense and Arias (especially Arias' nickname, Stabby). 

Here's an egg-cerpt from Egg-o's blog today:

"Jenny whined for a spell about DeMarte earning $300 an hour, which according to Jenny is indicative of secondary gain. Ironically, she, Heavy D Nurmi, and LaViolette all earn more, so she should probably stop her hypocritical song and dance about draining taxpayers (who are sitting on the jury, by the way).  She also suggested Janeen was not a qualified expert due to the absence of “lecturer” on her CV. Perhaps if she had toured to spread the word about battered Disney characters rather than treat patients, she would have more credibility with Team Cosmonaut. Try as she might to imitate barky Martinez, Catty Jenny just cannot rattle Janeen’s cage. "

We all need a good laugh (at the expense of batshit crazy killer Jodi Arias) as this trial moves along at a snail's pace, but let's remember what it's all about at the end of the day...JUSTICE FOR TRAVIS ALEXANDER and support for the Alexander Family!!

A huge SHOUT OUT to all my friends - you know who you are - in my social media circles who support and read my blog, and work hard to fight for justice! 

Juan Martinez Fires Up With Star Expert Witness Dr. Janeen DeMarte: Buh-bye LaViolette & Samuels

So the defense rests and we finally got to listen to an actual credible "expert" psychologist today with actual knowledge about PTSD and has worked with domestic abuse victims. Would we expect anything less of Juan Martinez? The prosecution rocked it by bringing expert witness, Dr. Janeen DeMarte, to the stand on behalf of the State. Can you say KA-BOOM!??? In a mere two hours, Martinez basically blew LaViolette's and Samuels' bogus (and biased) testimony out of the water.

Here's a quick break down of how Dr. DeMarte shot down LaViolette and Samuels:

 Bogus PTSD Diagnosis Blown Out of the Water: Arias Suffers from BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder)

1. Samuels did not follow professional protocol when he administered Arias' biased PSD test. It was a no-brainer and Samuels did not follow the test protocol: you give the patient the test and allow the patient (NOT Samuels) to fill in the bubbles. Hmm, yeah, Dr. DeMarte pretty much schooled Samuels, and in so many words (in a very professional way), she called Samuels an incompetent psychologist who skewed the test based on Arias' lies. Not a big shocker there. She went through the criteria step-by-step to show that Arias doesn't have PTSD based on the scoring - there goes that 69 score that doesn't even fall within the range of PTSD.

2. Newsflash: According to Dr. DeMarte (are you listening, Samuels and LaViolette?), you can't be diagnosed with PTSD based on a "made up event." For example, Martinez asked Dr. DeMarte if Arias could suffer from PTSD based on the ninja intruder story. Uhmmm no, it has to be a "real" event not based on a lie. Wow, talk about a logical answer - way to go, Dr. DeMarte! You win major bonus points for being intelligent and credible, and actually understanding how a PSD test is actually scored. Oh, damn, there goes the Pretend Traumatic Disorder Syndrome that Dr. Doofus diagnosed her with.

3. Dr. DeMarte diagnoses Arias with borderline personality disorder and talks about her "blunted affect" and how she doesn't show feelings of love. Oh wait, she did LOVE Travis but only after she killed him. DeMarte makes this very excellent point - that she only wrote about her love for Travis in her journal after the fact. Oh another big shocker! Arias is ONE big blunted affect. You only have to look at her on the stand.

4. Another reason she didn't have PTSD is that people who are clinically diagnosed have a "foreshortened sense of future" - basically, that means that PTSD patients don't drive to another state and sex it up with a different man the day after they kill their former boyfriend. DeMarte refers to Arias' journals and how she talks about all the men she courts. Courts? That's a very nice way of putting it (but then again, DeMarte has class unlike the other two joker defense witnesses). According to DeMarte, PTSD patients can barely function on a daily basis and Arias had no  problem holding down a job or fooling around with men after Travis was killed. Buh-bye bogus PTSD diagnosis by Samuels.

5. Not to mention, a person suffering from PTSD wouldn't put themselves in a  position to "relive" the traumatic event again. It's called avoidance which wasn't happening with Arias. She didn't avoid driving by his house or attending his memorial service. Uhm, nope, not PTSD and NOT Battered Woman Syndrome either. She blew that one out of the water as well - nope, Arias was not a battered woman.

Wilmott started her cross-exam and all I heard was blah blah blah...you are young and don't know what you are talking about. She made a condescending remark about Dr. DeMarte's age and noted that she wasn't probably born when LaViolette got her Masters degree. Lame. Wilmott is out of her league with this witness. She is doing her best to nit-pick her credentials and her youth/experience. Whatever, Wilmott. Good luck with that.

DeMarte Shines Through On Stand With Credible Testimony - Woot Woot!

DeMarte shot down the defense's experts' credibility in one fell swoop. Martinez knew exactly what he was doing when he put Dr. DeMarte on the stand. She was poised, professional, calm, cool and collected (even when annoying Wilmott cross-examined her). I'm sure Arias was NOT liking DeMarte as she furiously scribbled notes at the table (probably composing hate tweets to DeMarte - you're next, lady, I'm gonna flip you the bird in court muahhhh!)

The defense is definitely out of their league and it showed today with Juan Martinez's star expert witness. Thumbs up!
