[pufnstuf]

Considering the length of Samuels' testimony thus far, anyone expecting it to take three days to get the juror questions done?

Someone on the last thread asked if JA was tested for malingering. I'm kind of dumb.... What is that?

pretend or exaggerate incapacity or illness ....... malingering is fabricating or exaggerating the symptoms of mental or physical disorders for a variety of "secondary gain" motives, which may include financial compensation (often tied to fraud); avoiding school, work or military service; obtaining drugs; getting lighter criminal sentences; or simply to attract attention or sympathy

I'm looking forward to seeing the juror' questions.

Me too! Juan and Juror Questions make my day. If I know Nurmi or JW will be up, I go do something else. I've lost complete interest in anything they have to say.

MOO

Anticipating juror questions....

Is 'alternate reality' medical-speak for say whatever you can to 'cover your as*'

lying, trying to make things look worse than they really are, trying to convince someone that her symptoms are much more prominent than they really are . . .

people use to call this hypochondriac

Okay, I think I get it. So basically, her lying, making it look like she has PTSD to get out of her responsibility for murdering Travis. Is that right?

Malingering is exaggerating medical and/or psychological symptoms for attention.

You got it!

Can anyone give me the info on how to listen to the trial from my Iphone?

I can listen while driving to and from the Dr. office if I can get the info in time.

If you have Syrius radio in your car you can hear it there.

I don't.

I've been thinking about this bit of Samuels' testimony. Although he does not really come out and say it clearly, it seems that what he's getting at is that Jodi created the Ninja story because she was in such denial and could not allow herself to accept that she had so brutally butchered Travis -- as if Jodi really believed the Ninja story that she created.

IMO it's incredibly easy to manipulate others. All you have to do is identify what motivates them and hone in on their weaknesses. I don't even find it remotely difficult. When i was much younger i did it just because I could, and I feel pretty bad about that. I now chose not to on a regular basis. I admit that I have more than I should. I do my best to only do it when it will benefit the other person.

Just curious, how does manipulation ever help the other person?

And what does it say about someone who CHOOSES to continue manipulate on a regular basis (JA), and whose sole purpose in relationships/friendships is for what they can get out of it? What does it mean when someone even manipulates their diary entries to make themselves look as good as possible?
Sociopathy - that's what. And it's way more common than people realize. Scary when you think about it.

Travis' former roommate told Jodi that Travis was dating, and Jodi said OK, and the roommate said he's REALLY trying to date, and Jodi said OK, and the roommate said Travis is desperate to get married .... so Jodi called him that night and "confronted" him and it led to a big fight and there were other things thrown in the mix

Wonder why this roommate! Say anything to her? Was he too under her spell. I mean surely he knew Travis was trying to distance himself from her?

 

[Callisto]

What date was this "really big fight" that Jodi talked about in the interrogation tape?

My guess?! June 4, 2008...

I just got into the courtroom at #JodiArias trial. Just Stephens is hearing another case at the moment. No one else is here yet

Hope springs eternal, but maintain a level of rationality. The judge has failed to reign in anybody so far, so I doubt she'll start today. But you never know...

What station? I only know of 116 (HLN). Are there others?

Ok what is Sirius radio?
