Did you hear him ask what the dr.s Phd stood for? He said it stood for piled high and deep
 
:great: I'm so glad the family took a stand and refused to take those ribbons off.

KEEP HOLDING ON family. You have so many behind you and beside you. Whether in person, in spirit, in donations, in prayer. Hang tough!
 
Wonder why the MIT specialist hasn't been disciplined?:furious: This specialist has passed notes between JA and others in the courtroom on more than one occasion.

I think the very least we can assume is that this jury is not dim witted and there will be a fair verdict. I pray it's the right one, but with some of the astute minds on this jury and JM at the helm, this is the very best shot TA has at justice. I almost feel bad for JA, not for the justice here, but for what's waiting for her on the other side.

bbm - I don't! (you may be a kinder soul than I am... though that's not hard to accomplish :)) There is nothing she can ever endure that will be punishment enough for what she did to Travis and to his loved ones
 
The last question before lunch break he stated he believed she tolerated abusive behavior(in his opinion) such as being disregarded in mixed situations ..but did anyone see the video played while she was laying on Travis's lap and he HAD his arm around her..disregarded..me think NOT..

There was a question about Selective Amnesia, and I believe I heard it was not in the DSM IV. Well...

Dissociative Amnesia – DSM IV Definition



Dissociative Amnesia is codified 300.12 in DSM-IV. The disorder used to be called Psychogenic Amnesia.

Diagnostic Criteria

According to DSM-IV, the following criteria must be met in order for a diagnosis of dissociative amnesia to be arrived at:

Criterion A: an inability to recall information of a very personal nature. The inability may be the outcome of an underlying trauma or stress. The inability to recollect cannot be attributed to normal forgetfulness.

Criterion B: memory is reversibly impaired. Memories of personal nature cannot be recalled in verbal form. Even if it is temporarily retrieved, the memory cannot be retained wholly in one’s consciousness. The impairment does not occur exclusively during the course of other dissociative disorders (such as dissociative identity disorder, dissociative fugue, etc), PTSD, acute stress disorder, or somatization disorder. The impairment is also not a result of substance abuse, and it is not due to any neurological or general medical condition.

Criterion C: the symptoms of the disorder are such as to cause clinical stress which is significant in nature, and which can impair the subject’s social, occupational, or other areas of functioning.

The individual afflicted with dissociative amnesia reports gaps in recall for aspects of their personal history. There are chunks of time in their past which they are unable to recall. Some traumatic or stressful event or events are associated with the loss of memory. An acute form of dissociative amnesia is a sudden onset caused due to an elaborate episode, such as finding oneself in the midst of a natural calamity or during wartime.

Types of Dissociative Amnesia

The following types of dissociative amnesia have been identified:
Localized Amnesia: Here, the individual fails to recall events during a specific stretch of time, and only later manage to remember details of the event. For instance, the survivor of a violent attack who also happens to witness one of their close family members succumbing to the attack might “forget” all about the episode for up to 2-4 days after the event.
Selective Amnesia: Here, the individual is not able to recall all that happened in an event, just a select few tidbits. For instance, a rape victim might be able to recall just parts of the event of rape and not the full event in its entirety.
Generalized Amnesia: This is a less common dissociative amnesia disorder. The individual here is unable to recall their entire past history. Such cases usually present themselves to the police, to emergency wards, or to general hospital consultation services.
Continuous Amnesia: This is a less common dissociative amnesia disorder. The individual here is unable to recall events subsequent to a specific time up to and including the present.
Systematized Amnesia: This is a less common dissociative amnesia disorder. The individual here is unable to recall specific categories of information. Examples include memory about one’s spouse or about all visits to a place of worship.

Oh wow, thanks! I just thought that selective amnesia was a sarcastic question from a juror who knows the killer is still lying. I didn't realize it was an actual thing. But the good doctor lied anyway, or he doesn't know his book so... :/
 
I am kind of worried about the family's decision to keep the ribbons on. Although I sympathize, and would probably do the same thing if it was my brother, I am worried that it could become an appeals issue down the line.

Huh? Busted? How? And if she did, I seriously doubt that it would be broadcast in open court. :waitasec:
 
Just now watching this mornings testimony. I am SO happy the judge is reading one question, waiting for the answer, and THEN giving the follow-up questions. I don't believe she did that with JA. I like it! Doesn't give the "doctor" a heads up on the entire question. :rocker:
 
I really think the camera person has someone watching JA and the gallery... he seems to zoom in on them right at the right moment.

It's so awesome because they were basically saying, "Then throw us out of the courtroom," knowing that the court would be paralyzed to do so without reaping an army of vigilantes!
 
Oh WOW! The doctor dx'd her with an 'Other' personality disorder? Fab!

How do you diagnose a PD and not even try to find out which PD? Or more likely in her case, which combination of PD she has?

Seriously. It's like telling a patient they have cancer but not what type of cancer. And still not beginning any treatment for it.

I was thinking the same, It would seem that had Travis survived he would be the one with Selective Amnesia from being attacked by jodi.
