She apologized to Jodi????

6:36 p.m. ET: Martinez asked LaViolette is biased in favor of the defendant. LaViolette said she does not believe she is biased.

6:34 p.m. ET: LaViolette is taking the stand, and the jury is being seated.

Supposedly for having to read all her personal information.

Of course she is bias to who pays her fees. Most experts are.

6:43 p.m. ET: Martinez wants to know if there was another way LaViolette could have built repore with Arias. LaViolette said she is the one that gets to decide how she builds repore.

6:42 p.m. ET: LaViolette said she apologizied to Arias, because she felt like she invaded Arias' personal matters.

6:39 p.m. ET: LaViolette apologized to Arias when she met her for the first time. Martinez asked her if she apologized to Arias because she had sympathy for Arias. LaViolette said she apologized to establish a repore with Arias, because she had read Arias' most private moments in her journals, emails and texts.

She's such a pushover!! She said she felt like she had been reading her daughter's diary.

I don't think Martinez will get very far with this line of questioning - there's so much more he can do to discredit her!!

LaViolette just cannot answer a question!

Testified before in HOW MANY criminal trials? Sounds like this is her third.

Does she look clean to you? Like she showers regularly? I wonder what the reason is for no make up.

LaViolette sorely regretting she ever mentioned the "90% RULE" -

She doesn't appear to be a "girly-girl" is the nicest way I can say it.......

Martinez: "You understand you're here to answer my questions?"

LaViolette: "I'm not sure I understand why this is such an issue." Martinez asks the judge to make her answer.

So if 90% of communication is non-verbal, Martinez says, than LaViolette didn't need to talk to her at all.

Butch?

6:59 p.m. ET: Martinez said Arias was happy to have her IQ tested, because she was as smart as Albert Einstein. He asked LaViolette if that she thinks she is that smart if she could have low esteem. LaViolette said esteem has to do with other things not just IQ.

6:56 p.m. ET: Martinez asked LaViolette if she is biased towards Arias again. LaViolette said her positive feelings did not affect her ability to look at objective materials.

6:55 p.m. ET: LaViolette said she had a good feeling about Arias after meeting with her for the first time. Their first meeting was eight hours long.

6:51 p.m. ET: Martinez asked LaViolette if someone to force her to apologize to Arias when he met her. LaViolette said no, no one forced her to apologize, and she didn't have to do it, but it was the respectful thing to do.

6:48 p.m. ET: LaViolette said she crafts the way she crafts her evaluation tactics for each client.

That's the little emoticon I was searching for but couldn't find! Yep.

(I do realize she was married for 18 or so years with 2 kids, but.......)

7:01 p.m. ET: Martinez just brought what he calls a manifesto that Arias wrote. The attorneys are now at a sidebar.

6:59 p.m. ET: Martinez said Arias was happy to have her IQ tested, because she was as smart as Albert Einstein. He asked LaViolette if that she thinks she is that smart if she could have low esteem. LaViolette said esteem has to do with other things not just IQ.
