I think the defense is incredibly stupid in even bringing Geffner, Fonseca, Smith and Gworkin back to the stand to defend themselves.
They should have rested on Dr. DeMarte saying Jodi Arias suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder, which is a mental illness, because that is the only mitigating evidence they have that could save her life since there is no corroborating evidence of any of her accusations against Travis Alexander and little evidence of child abuse.
Instead, Wilmott is trying to kill the goose that laid the golden egg by trying to prove DeMarte is a young, inexperienced, lying, unethical non-expert.
Geffner was of course offended that the young female whippersnapper had the nerve to say he, a psychologist, with 35 years experience, did the testing wrong.
How dare she?
So he is very happy to sit on the stand and tell the jury and the world that Dr. DeMarte is not only young, inexperienced and stupid, but she is unethical.
When Wilmott showed Geffner DeMarte’s ad that she has been practicing for eight years, he said it is an ethics violation for a psychologist to count student time as experience.
He said DeMarte has a “little bit of knowledge and becomes dangerous” and says DeMarte did not understand his testing and mislead the jurors.
Jen Wood says the jury is not taking notes but they are listening to Geffner.
The defense is giving the jurors a mixed message.
On one hand they are saying: “Our psychologist with 35 years experience, knows more than the state psychologist so believe everything he says except when he says she has no personality disorders.”
On the other hand they are saying: “The state psychologist is unethical, inexperience, and too young and stupid to know anything so don’t believe anything she says except for her diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. She is right about Jodi Arias being mentally ill but wrong about everything else.”
You can’t have it both ways. It makes no sense to a jury.
Martinez on the other hand is saying don’t believe anything Geffner says because he is “a hired gun” and his only purpose is to "smear Mr. Alexander's name," which is the truth and nothing but the truth.
Martinez is also saying believe what Dr. DeMarte says because she is a true expert, unbiased and everything she says makes perfect sense because it is the truth.
If I were a juror, I would discount everything the defense witnesses say because it is clear they are biased and skewing everything to make Arias look like the victim and Travis Alexander the perpetrator.
Yet, the autopsy pictures of Alexander’s bloated body riddled with 29 stab wounds, a slit throat and a bullet in the head, show who is the real victim, who suffered extreme cruelty and who deserves the death penalty.
No amount of porn and fog can erase that horrific truth.
