trial day 42: the defense continues its case in chief #127

[Juli]

"No jury will ever convict me" sounds pretty darn self-confident to me.

 

[Steely Dan]

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I honestly believe that my answer might tend to lead to a Time Out.

Sorry, maybe I took that out of context. :giggle:

 

[TigerBalm]

I had a cat named Einstein.

Did it have a manifesto???

 

[Sleuth5]

I had a cat named Einstein.

Jodi likes cats. Maybe that's who she meant.

 

[Renee110]

I had a cat named Einstein.

Me too! And Frankie (Franklin Roosevelt) and Issac (Newton) and Martha (Washington). Oh and maybe I shouldn't say this here today, but a cat I had in college was named Alice (Cooper). LOL

 

[RadarLuv]

See y'all tomorrow!

 

[HarvestMoon]

:fence:No wonder the killer left high school early, she must have been too smart for her teachers.

 

[Nhic]

I had a cat named Einstein.

[lucegirl]

Planning on becoming famous = low self esteem?

 

[lil_buddy]

Albert Brooks real name is Albert Einstein.

Albert Brooks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PS-another person JA is not as smart as.

 

[Phoebeb]

Help me please... what do we know about the manifesto?

 

[Steely Dan]

HLN is saying that there is a motion for mistrial going on. It might be about JM being too tough on witlessness' witness'

 

[BrownRice]

After Juan is done with cross.

I thought they read some today - based on comments here.

 

[nadjatheresa]

I think JA de-edified Einstein!

 

[lonetraveler]

If I had a nickel for everytime I said that to a... :nevermind:

:floorlaugh:Reminiscing?:facepalm:

 

[Tulessa]

jm: the page you reviewed is an important page
alv: just read the highlighted portion, do you want me to read the whole page?
jm: yes, please review the entire page

witness reviews the entire page of #603

jm: with regard to this document, in this is the issue involving the manifesto, right?
alv: correct
jm: it's on the top upper left corner, right?
alv: yes
jm: on the margins, don't you reference the manifesto
alv: I didn't look at the margins, I just looked at what was written
jm shows her the page
jm: you reference the manifesto, right?
alv: yes
jm: in this document, the defendant asked someone called Amy to print out the last two pages of the manifesto and have them signed in case…
objection approach

jm: isn't it true that defendant signed them in case she became famous?
objection sustained
alv: in this case…
jm: it's a yes or no question
alv: I got the information from Amy and she said that
jm: so Amy is lying?
alv: no, I didn't say that
jm: all I'm asking is for the substance, and that is that she signed those pages, and you had no reason to believe Amy was lying about it

jm: Judge, do you want to do the other thing we talked about?

Judge: we're going to take the evening recess.

I am watching HLN....I hate HLN....what other thing...don't leave us hanging like that!!

 

[lil_buddy]

Help me please... what do we know about the manifesto?

just that it exists and that we would give our eyeteefs to see it.

Human stupidy - lol. Funny typo

That's skeery, because I consider myself to be very anti-social. I'm so much happier with my cats, and my DH and DS. I have a handful of friends, and very limited contact to the outside world besides doctors appts, and my volunteer work.

Mostly this is because of my Diabetes and Neuropathy -- it's difficult for me to go out and act like a normal person. But really, is that an excuse? Besides, I found out rather quickly that "normal" folks don't want to hang out with someone with medical issues. So I just keep to myself.

I think many people can be labeled anti-social who don't go on to murder people. I can guarantee you I am NO Jodi Arias.

MOO

No, what I'm talking about is anti-social personality disorder which is totally different than someone just being antisocial. I'm very avoidant too because of my anxiety post-abuse I'm still working through. Certain people and places are 'safe' and I have no issues at all while others have me doubled over, hyperventilating. In the DSM-V, antisocial will be combined with psychopathy.

Here's the DSM criteria for both:

ASPD (Antisocial Personality Disorder):

• Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest
• Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
• Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
• Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
• Reckless disregard for safety of self or others
• Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain steady work or honor financial obligations
• Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another

NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder):

• has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
• is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
• believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
• requires excessive admiration
• has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
• is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
• lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
• is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
• shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
