Tammy Rose @News20Chopper tweeted: "I find it odd that the defense didn't hit the mental illness hard in their mitigation defense, but trashed the victim instead." #JodiArias
I think that's because the defense psychologist - Dr. Robert Geffner - testified that Jodi Arias had no personality disorders.
So Nurmi has to use the state psychologist's diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder to prove the cold blooded murderer has a mental illness and is a victim not a cold blooded murderer.
So instead of impeaching Dr. Janeen DeMarte like Wilmott did in the trial phase when the defense was denying Arias had a mental illness, Nurmi is using the BPD diagnosis to blame BPD and her parents and not Arias for her stalking and murdering Travis Alexander.
As Nurmi tries to manipulate the jury into believing Jodi Arias is just a sensitive and emotionally mentally ill girl who didn’t want to swat a fly, Arias is acting the part in court.

Just as I suspected, Nurmi asked Dr. DeMarte right out of the gate if Borderline Personality Disorder was a mental illness.
DeMarte answered that it was a psychological disorder but after he asked her several times, she admitted BPD is a mental illness.
He also got her to admit that Borderlines are more sensitive and not able to control their emotions just like I thought he would. Then he got her to admit that the environment one grows up in where the person's feelings aren't validated can trigger Borderline Personality. Dr. DeMarte testified that Arias told her that her parents did not validate her feelings.
DeMarte said Arias told her she was sexually attacked by a family member at the age of six but couldn't remember it. She said it is not unusual for someone to not remember at such an early age.
She said: "Borderlines have a fear of abandonment so they glom on."
When DeMarte said Jodi Arias told her that she looked into Travis Alexander's Myspace and got into his emails, Nurmi said, "That's just her word and not a data base that proves that." Now Nurmi is calling his own client a liar because it benefits the defense like Arias lies to benefit herself.
