[usnuzuloose]

Jeffrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 35s36 seconds ago #JodiArias defense effectively stalled a motion to strike her secret testimony saying earlier they are not deciding yet. This could matter

 

[usnuzuloose]

At least 2 jurors, 1 woman & 1 man, write while Dr Geffner describes setting up clinics earlier in his career. #JodiArias

Holy credentials...this will be awhile. Willmont is asking the questions #jodiarias


: Jury is listening but I don't see any notes being taken #jodiarias
Geffner is talking about family violence and how he was apart of a resource center in Texas #jodiarias #

: Jeffrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 1m1 minute ago #JodiArias expert DrG was called last time after DrDeMarte said Jodi was borderline person. He said she was traumatized by Travis.

Jeffrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 58s58 seconds ago #JodiArias DrG is long on creds but did not impress last trial. His position is that Jodi had PTSD. Did Jodi testify in secret about this??

Geffner says he has found a link between child abuse and DV #jodiarias

#JodiArias is reaching to her left and writing some notes on Jennifers note pad. Or drawing a sunshine with sunglasses on.

: Jeffrey Evan Gold @jeffgoldesq #JodiArias must have got into abuse from family and or Travis to jury in secret i m guessing but expert can opin either way

Nurmi is reclinated with his fingers on his chin looking extremely interested somehow. #JodiArias

: Geffner built a shelter for battered women. Is there anything he hasn't done? #JodiArias

Jeffrey Evan Gold @jeffgoldesq We speculated #JodiArias might not have got very far in secret but this witness makes me think otherwisw

 

[usnuzuloose]

: effner was on a board of directors too. I have always wanted to be on a board of directors and such #JodiAria

Wow he is just now getting to what he did in the 80's. That's some serious credentializing right there. #JodiArias

Geffner has written books etc. He's speaking about his involvement in DV and how he trains on how to treat victims #jodiarias

Jeffrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 30s31 seconds ago #JodiArias experts creds are still being elaborated. They r extensive. Juan last time crossed him on other cases he did and neutralized him

: A few jurors are taking notes as Geffner continues to go over his creds. #JodiArias

effrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 38s39 seconds ago #JodiArias jury this time is hearing from more sober experts than last go round with Alyce in Wonderland and the smitten Dr. Dick, Samuels

Cathy ‏@courtchatter 25s26 seconds ago In M trial Geffner disagreed with Demarte, said #JodiArias did NOT have BPD but suffered from PTSD. Hmm, isn't def going with BPD now?

Jeffrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 11s12 seconds ago When Jen Willmott is at podium there is a wide gap between #JodiArias and Nurmi. No chatting between those two unless huge issue.


9: Domestic violence expert on the stand at #JodiArias trial. Her defense wasn't she was a victim, it was she dropped a camera and TA got mad.

#JodiArias sits and listens to Geffner. She does this fist to chin rest move. No bowling wrist brace today.

 

[usnuzuloose]

We are finally up to where Geffner is now living and it's sunny California..say hi to Alyce for us #jodiarias

 

[usnuzuloose]

Jeffrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 14s15 seconds ago #JodiArias expert drones on looking directly at jury as to his credentials

At this rate Dr. Geffner is going to fill up the entire day telling jurors about his résumé #jodiarias

 

[usnuzuloose]

Geffen says he no longer treats clients, he doesn't have the time, but he supervises. His roles have changed over time. #jodiarias

Jeffrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 1m1 minute ago Amazin the amount of hair Nurmi has. Did he really think his prior buzz cut was stylish? #JodiArias

: Dr. Geffner says he first started testifying in court about 30 years ago. #jodiarias

Geffner has testified in criminal and civil cases. He's testified for defense and prosecution #jodiarias

 

[usnuzuloose]

Jeffrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 53s54 seconds ago #JodiArias jury seems relieved as expert momentarily breaks eye contact with them to look at Jenn Willmott.

 

[usnuzuloose]

9: Some on the jury are tuned out thinking about lunch also #jodiarias

: Geffner charges $250/hr. It hasn't changed in a decade or so. #JodiArias

 

[usnuzuloose]

Dr Geffner: We charge on sliding scale. Typically $250hr. He's on salary though. Any pay for case involvement goes to his institute not him

 

[usnuzuloose]

#JodiArias sits back and stops crafting. Scans the frontal region of the courtroom including counsel and jury.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Jeffrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 47s47 seconds ago #JodiArias expert now talking money he makes that usually means we are winding down voir dire on credentials.


Willmont- Has an ethics committee ever reprimanded you or cited you? Geffner- No #jodiarias

 

[usnuzuloose]

Jeffrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 22s23 seconds ago #JodiArias expert now taking sting out of prior controversial cases that he did and Jen knows Juan will go after this trial again (as last)


Willmot- Has your testimony been criticized? Geffner- Well by appellate courts I never knew about. #jodiarias

Occasionally Juan objects "lack o' foundation". He sits up and is leaned forward as Geffner continues to explain his expertise #JodiArias

 

[usnuzuloose]

This was a child case and we were asked to evaluate the child and mother and the judge wasn't happy with our findings. #jodi

 

[usnuzuloose]

Juan- Objects to judge wasn't happy and Judge sustains #jodiaria

effrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 26s26 seconds ago This prior case where judge said DrG was just a "hired gun" was big gun for Juan last time in #JodiArias

 

[usnuzuloose]

kitkat2409: The judge precluded some of Geffner's testimony & GFner says Judge criticized a lot of experts + called him a name "A hired gun" #jodiarias

: Jeffrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq 56s56 seconds ago Side bar as things heat up at the #JodiArias OK coral now
