A Message from Dr Richard Samuels

.
Having recently exchanged emails with Dr Samuels and thanked his for his valued testimony, I also invited him to write a message for inclusion in the website.

Here’s the message he kindly sent me:

“Thanks to all of those who have expressed support for my testimony.  While I can’t comment specifically on the case until it is over, rest assured that the PTSD diagnosis is real as is memory loss during acute stress.  Those were the points I tried to make and hope that the message was clear enough for the jury to understand. Again, thanks for your support.” — Richard M. Samuels, Ph.D.

As Dr Samuels rightly stated to Martinez last week – You have no knowledge in this area – because you can’t study something for 35 minutes and know more about it than someone who’s studied it for 35 years.

Ain’t that the truth…

Jodi Arias Trial – Day 38 (cancelled)

>>> TRIAL CANCELLED FOR TODAY <<<
RESUMES THURSDAY @ 9.30 am PT/MT

Click here to access the “Defendants Motion for Protective Order” document, which relates to this morning’s hearing where Jodi’s attorneys are trying to seal the billing records they submitted, which have been requested by the media (HLN/Turner). Allowing public access to these records would reveal privileged information to the prosecution regarding who the defense have interviewed, what they’ve investigated, their strategy for trial and the penalty phase (if applicable).
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Moving on…

So now we have the media referring to Dr Richard Samuels as “the amnesia quack” and Alyce LaViolette as “the lesbian social worker”. But the fact is, had this Dream Team of accomplished & distinguished experts been testifying for the prosecution, there’s no doubt that the very same media would be singing their praises from the rooftops 24/7. That’s the difference.

It’s not only Martinez that’s doing every abuse victim a grave disservice with his questioning the very existence of PTSD & DV, but the media are following suit. What a bunch of ignorant clueless bastards they really are.

Here are a few comments posted yesterday which sum everything up:

(gibby gibson) — “…Alyce LaViolette is absolutely NAILING the type of abuse Jodi endured!!!! It has been such a tremendous concern–this whole minimizing of the “abuse” that Jodi suffered. LaViolette is completely clarifying that non-extreme abuse is just as real as the obvious type. Take that and shove it, HLN. I’m sorry, but those people who have been criticizing Jodi for making a mockery of “real abuse” are a bunch of Aholes!”

(MB) — “The Travis Taliban and HLN have joined forces to roll back the progress on women’s rights and awareness of abuse and rape. They present themselves as a legitimate news outlet with a progressive agenda, but at the end of the day they are nowhere to be found when it comes to women and girls.

Besides, who are THEY to decide what “real” abuse is? Ms Violette has more experience and understanding in her little pinkie than they do collectively.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

By the way — Vladimir Gagic will be hosting a live radio program TODAY at 12 noon AZ/Pacific time, to coincide with the noon trial recess. Click here to listen in to the program. You can also call in & ask questions during the live show @ (718) 305-6376, or Tweet your question @vlgaIt should be a very interesting & insightful call, as always.

So let’s prepare for another awesome day as Alyce LaViolette continues with her direct testimony.

Remember… We are Team Jodi – and WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS.

Never question it.

Never doubt it.

Jodi Arias Trial – Day 37

Following on from his sexual innuendo, his desk banging antics and his little pen throwing incident, did anyone else catch Martinez telling Jennifer Willmott to piss off during his follow-up of Dr Richard Samuels late yesterday afternoon?

After another one of his trademark meltdowns, and after Jennifer objected to his yelling and his BS, he distinctly says “I’m gonna object to this speaking objection, she can piss…..” – but he never got around to adding “off” to the end of his sentence, and seemed to stop himself just in time. Check it out in the video below at the 00:13 mark…

[hdplay id=129 width=500 height=300]

Aside all those theatrics, yesterday was yet another awesome day for the defense, with Dr Richard Samuels more than holding his own, despite Martinez’ repeated attempts to undermine his 35 years of experience and his claims that all psychological problems are BS because, unlike his favorite “crater”, they can’t be seen – right?

Taking into account that the next witness for the defense – Alyce LaViolette – has actually taught prosecutors how to cross examine witnesses, it’s gonna be more than interesting to see what happens when he tries to pull the same shit on her. Click here to read her 20 page CVMaybe he can book some lessons for himself after the trial?

Jodi Arias Trial – Day 36

.
CLICK HERE FOR DAY 36 VIDEO RECORDING

Following on from the little guy’s recent wayward references from Websters dictionary and The Book of Mormon, I thought I’d take the opportunity to look up the meaning of “Prosecutorial Misconduct” in my handy US Legal dictionary.

Here’s what it says:

Prosecutorial misconduct is conduct which violates court rules or ethical standards of law practice. Examples, among others, may include:

*** Courtroom misconduct (making improper remarks or improperly introducing evidence designed to prejudice the jury: violating rules regarding selection of the jury; or making improper closing arguments);

*** Hiding, destroying or tampering with evidence, case files or court records;

*** Failing to disclose evidence that might tend to exonerate the defendant

*** Threatening, badgering or tampering with witnesses.

So how many of the above violations have we witnessed so far throughout Martinez’ dismal performances? I’d say all of them. The only exception being “making improper closing arguments” – mainly due to the fact that we’ve not yet reached that stage… but no doubt he will.

Leave your comments below on day 36… as another new trial week starts, and Jodi takes one step closer to victory…

Martinez: losing the jury, the plot and the trial…

.
Yesterday afternoon, we were treated yet again to another piss poor showboating display of prosecutorial cluelessness by Martinez. In full knowledge that he lost this case a long while ago… and not withstanding his antics with the camera, the autopsy picture stunt and his deliberate withholding of evidence from the defense… his revised strategy now appears to be based around a Wayne Dyer self-help book and the meaning of the word “compassion” (as defined by Websters dictionary).

He also proceeded (again) to question Dr Richard Samuels’ memory problems and his ethics. I think the only person in this scenario with memory issues & ethical problems is Martinez himself… right?

But in the midst of all this, whatever happened to Martinez trying to prove his BS-riddled & overcharged pre meditated murder & felony murder charges in this trial?

For Martinez, that has now become a major issue.

And it’s an issue because it AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN.

He’s lost the jury… he’s lost the plot… and he’s lost the trial. Plain & simple.

Here’s a quote from Vladimir Gagic’s excellent post last week:

“As far as I am concerned, the only issue in the Jodi Arias trial is has the government proven premeditation. That of course, is important because if the government has not proven premeditation, they cannot convict her of murder in the first degree and thus the death penalty is off the table. And while the government has also alleged murder in the first degree by way of felony-murder, that allegation is so specious as not to even warrant a response.

The government has not proven premeditation, and in fact, could not do so under any circumstances. Without direct evidence, either a confession by Ms. Arias that she intended to kill Mr. Alexander, as in “I wanted to kill to him”, or an overt act such as hiring a hit man or waiting in wait in ambush, the government cannot prove premeditation beyond a reasonable doubt. Note that I am not saying she did not intend to kill him or that there is not very good reason to suspect that she intended to kill him, just that the government will not be able to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. And that has been clear since day one. Someone asked me on twitter a question along the lines of “she lied so she doesn’t get the death penalty?”. My answer, yes, exactly right. To paraphrase Lt. Kaffee from a “Few Good Men”, it doesn’t matter what we know; it only matters what we can prove.

Instead of proving premeditation with direct evidence, the government is trying to do so with circumstantial evidence. So far the attempt has been, with the most charitable interpretation possible, pathetic. While the law does not recognize a distinction between direct and circumstantial evidence, there is a jury instruction that says exactly that, the inference the government wishes the jury to draw from the circumstantial evidence is, dare I say, comically lacking.”

So Forget all the state’s smokescreen BS about gas cans, Walmart receipts & hair dye. What matters is THE EVIDENCE. Some of the more important evidence we have to date are TA’s rape specific text messages – and his 12 year old girl bondage & orgasm fantasies… we’ve seen and heard those already.

As Jose Baez said on last week’s HLN “bathroom re-enactment” show…

“The physical evidence does not lie”

Ain’t that the truth…

Here’s the clip featuring Jose with his view on the order of events:

[hdplay id=127 width=500 height=300]

And here’s a secondary clip of Jose from the end of the program:

[hdplay id=128 width=500 height=300]

And by the way… Jose Baez turned George Anthony inside out on the stand countless times, without ever resorting to bellowing or doing the Harlem Shake.

As for the Travis-Towners & TA fans out there, all they’re really concerned about is hating, retribution & vengeance. “Justice” doesn’t come into it. It never has. That’s not what they’re after.

Take yesterday for example… where 2 trial observers were thrown out of the courtroom after stating multiple times that they wished “Jodi were dead.”. Apparently one of Jodi’s family members complained and security removed the two women.

But at the end of the day… and just a few weeks from now after the “Jodi Arias Reality TV Show” is over, and the relevant dust has finally settled on this trial and the specially built studio sets, mock courtrooms, faux jurors & cardboard bathroom reconstructions… it’ll be largely remembered as the trial Martinez lost. It happens sometimes when you overcharge a case without any conclusive evidence.

Just ask Jeff Ashton… he knows that only too well.

Like I’ve said before…

Armed with very little aside assumption, speculation, hearsay & hot air, it’s ultimately gonna come down to Jodi’s word against Martinez’. And despite the valiant repeated efforts of Martinez to turn this into an ego-driven pissing match — there’s just no way all 12 jurors are gonna be convinced beyond and to the exclusion of all reasonable doubt. He knows that already. He’s known it for a long while. So have we. So has everyone else. Give it up FFS.

So let’s not stress too much over the verdict. Why? Because it’s already been decided. It’s just gonna be a little while longer before it’s “officially” announced.

And if you’re still getting worked up & stressed out every day over NG and her ongoing BS coverage, I have a simple solution for you. Stop watching her. Simple as that. Just shut it out, remove yourself from all negativity completely and quit wasting your energy… whether it’s NG, JVM, VP, some other website, some haters’ comments or anything else. The same applies. Rise above it all.

Stay positive and keep the faith, as always.

Remember… We are Team Jodi – and WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS.

You can mark my words on that.

Have a great Friday!

Onwards…

Jodi Arias Trial – Day 35

.
CLICK HERE FOR DAY 35 VIDEO RECORDING

With a 1 pm start yesterday – coupled with an impromptu chunk blowing incident after the recess – the trial day turned out to be only 90 minutes long. Back in January it was stated that the trial would probably last “until April”. At this rate, I’m not sure whether they meant April 2013 or April 2014.

Overall though, putting Martinez’ showboating aerobics to one side… and his ongoing attempts to belittle every single sexual & physical abuse victim out there… this has been yet another awesome week for Jodi.

If all goes to plan today, and barring any more unforeseen events or salad bar issues, Dr Richard Samuels will be tackling 5,000+ questions from the jury. He’s also done an awesome job this week for Team Jodi, and it should be very interesting when domestic violence expert Alyce LaViolette squares up to Judge Pickles’ ankle biter next week. Her 20 page CV is impressive.

I’ll leave you to ponder this message posted in our ever popular “Leave a Message for Jodi” page:

“I’m so sick of seeing Travis’s friends on Nancy Grace talking about what a great guy Travis was and paint him out to be this holier than thou saint. That dirt bag was a sexual deviant! Travis’s friends talk about the “lies” Jodi tells about him, saying shes trying to slander him…no one needs to slander the scum bag, we all heard him say with his own mouth how he had sexual fantasies about 12 year old girls! After that comment alone, he deserves what he got…not to mention the nerve of Travis to act like he can fool an all-knowing God by lying to Jodi and telling her anal and oral sex are not sins. Believe me, Travis is in hell paying the penalty for his sexual perversions. Hey Alexander family and friends, quit acting like Travis was a good guy, he was a disgusting wicked sodomite who had perverse fantasies about little underage girls. He got exactly what he deserved! Stay strong Jodi, don’t let the hypocritical idiots get you down! — Sean
