Dr. Janeen is very well spoken and easy to understand. She addresses the jury as she continues to go over her background.

I think Alyce is going to be blown away by this witness....

I think we are about to see the difference between Clinical Psychology and PC Psychobabble!!

It appears Dr. Janeen has attended the Jennifer Willmott School of Speed Talking. She is a quick one.

WildAboutTrial WildAboutTrial 7m
Dr. Janeen is familiar with Alyce, says Alyce has her masters degree in marriage and family counseling. She supervised Alyce.

1:16 p.m. ET: DeMarte said it is important for a psychologist to not go into an forensic evaluation with a hypothesis, because they will not consider other possibilities. This is a jab at how psychologist Richard Samuels had the hypothesis that Arias had PTSD, before he ever evaluated her.

1:13 p.m. ET: DeMarte is explaining how she conducts she conducts a clinical psychological evaluation in a forensic setting.

1:11 p.m. ET: DeMarte said she visited Arias in jail to evaluate her. Martinez is asking her LaViolette's education and experience. DeMarte said LaViolette just has her masters in couple's counseling.

1:08 p.m. ET: DeMarte is explaining how she became a licensed psychologist.

Martinez shredding the West Coast Mentality of "The Law of Attraction."

DeMarte criticizing Alyce's 44 HOURS - "Were not afforded (Alyce taking advantage of the State funds?) to be able to spend that much time..."

Martinez brings up apologizing to a client (like ALyce claims she did with Jodi).

This is going to be GOOD!

WildAboutTrial WildAboutTrial 2m
Dr. Janeen says that a 44 hour evaluation is "extreme". A typical clinical interview range anywhere from 1 hour to 3 or 4.

1:27 p.m. ET: LaViolette testified earlier in the trial that she apologized to Arias when she first met her. DeMarte said an evaluator should never be compassionate for the individual you are evaluating them because the results will not be accurate. The results will be biased.

1:24 p.m. ET: DeMarte said it is extreme for a psychologist to spend 40 hours evaluating a client, because it could become treatment.

1:20 p.m. ET: Martinez asked DeMarte if there is pyschology class about the "Law of Attraction." She said no there is no class taught on the "Law of Attraction" at any school.

DRINK!!!

I hope the Jury can see already that Alyce did not perform at all as an unbiased psychologist... she was a feel good tea and sympathy type from the outset... used to consoling people she already had biased opinion of as "victims"

Laviolette is toast. Didn't this lady supervise her in training? She knows Laviolette. This woman is an MD, right?

1:33 p.m. ET: DeMarte said she would never give gifts to a person she is evaluating, because it could alter the relationship between the individual and the evaluator. LaViolette and Samuels both testified they gave Arias reading materials for her to review when she was in jail.

1:31 p.m. ET: Arias is reading something and taking lots of notes this morning.

1:28 p.m. ET: The attorneys are at a sidebar with the judge.

She's a Ph.D. And yes, she supervised LaViolette! Talk about trumping!

DRINK!!!
