[BearcatsFan]

I'll trade places! I'll come over and hang out with you mil and you drive up north to the gymnastic meet with hundreds of screaming girls!!! Such a good deal, right?

You don't know my MIL ... I'll take that trade in a flat second.

 

[brunette8706]

Jeeze! Can the DT find a witness that isn't sleazy?

I hate to say this, but he gives me the CREEPS!!

I can't get the link to work, it won't copy either.

Damn, I just tried several different things and can't get it to work at all, it was there and now it's not. And of course, I already closed that tab.

ETA: Hurry LOL http://video.foxnews.com/v/2228330829001/

 

[usnuzuloose]

I was watching one of the talking heads and one of them mentioned that this " creepy" guy walked up to the defense table when he went to work on the laptop and he evidently smiled and winked at Jodi. He should be removed due to his one incident of crossing the line with a client.

You don't know my MIL ... I'll take that trade in a flat second.

And you don't know my brooding, over emotional, hormonally imbalanced 12 year old!! I'm sure she would be sweet as pie to you though. And your mil, well if she nerves me, I'll bake some arsenic cookies or something lovely!

I am absolutely and undeniably DISGUSTED with this PTSD theory.

As the Aunt to a 26yo who just received the PURPLE HEART for his short but very very very horrific time in Baghdad.

Here is a snippet from the article my DBRO (Colonel) wrote about Ryan and PTSD in the Military.

"My son Ryan joined the army at the young age of 17 to serve his nation; he
stepped eagerly onto the battlefield, highly trained and ready for the rigors of combat. What i believe the army overlooked was the importance of training him and his leaders about combat stress. Ryan, a cavalry scout in the 4th infantry divisions 3d heavy Brigade combat team operating in the diyala Province just north of Baghdad, experienced on a daily basis intense combat,
the horror of death and, sadly, the loss of his fellow comrades in arms. On five occasions Ryans vehicle hit improvised explosive devices (ieds). Beyond the physical injuries with which he must cope, he is also recovering from TBI and PTSD. The constant daily flashbacks he experiences will not let him forget. He is also challenged by the loss of short-term memory, undoubtedly from the concussive force of the explosions. I am proud of his performance on the battlefield. I cannot put into words what it was like for me as a dad and a colonel in our army to pin the army commendation for Valor on his chest. this paper is for him.
We are not only father and son, but also comrades in arms.
Colonel Richard B. OConnor"

This is PTSD. For some official who states at the opening of his time on the stand that he had the LUXURY of speaking to JA & are you kidding me, LUXURY. I wanted to spit.

JA is not suffering from PTSD and had TRAVIS ALEXANDER survived this horrific attack, HE is the one that would be suffering with PTSD.

I am so sorry, these are the young men who come back not just with PTSD , but with so more on their plate then we could ever imagine, and may just not want to know. I am so grateful for the soldiers who serve and try to make our country safe to the best of their ability.

Here's what you do if you have a recorded session of the trial, excuse yourself and say you need to watch something you missed.....

And by the Grace of God and many many weeks and months in the hospital and in therapy I can tell you that my nephew, Ryan is doing absolutely amazing. He came home in 2006 and was medically discharged from the Army as he could not function with the level of PTSD but ff to today he is doing FABULOUS. Married and a Police Officer in the city of Denver, CO. Just bought a beautiful home in Castle Rock. We are beyond thrilled at the strides he has made but this coming after much crying and devastation.


So for JA and her team to say SHE HAS PTSD has just sent me over the top.

 

[wencherous]

OMG, that's not what I was expecting. She's totally loopy. ***? A headstand? Giggling. Damn.

 

[7165red]

I saw this on WS last night, so I can't take credit for it. Someone said that PTSD is an acronym for "Post Travis Skank Disorder." LOL!!!!

lol,

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!

She probably promised him a piece of the action if she got out. He is so gross! You're right he should be dismissed.

 

[wencherous]

Oh, didn't realise that I couldn't put a W, T, and F together.

That is wonderful to hear. Unfortunatly these attorneys hire anyone. The problem with this one he was fined for crossing the line with a client and that is why he is no longer in private practice.

 

[Uncle Remus]

So HLN is reporting nothing in court today due to a personal issue with one of the attorneys.

 

[brunette8706]

She says she recalls little from the day of the attack.

"A large percentage of individuals who are in such settings do not remember or have cloudy or foggy memories of what has transpired," psychologist Richard Samuels told jurors Thursday. "We are more concerned with survival."Samuels is an Arizona-based expert whose website says he specializes in "sexually violent perpetrator evaluations, psychosexual risk assessments, sexual harassment and gender discrimination matters."
He said he met with Arias a dozen times over the past three years and that he eventually diagnosed her with PTSD.

Samuels explained how when a person finds themselves in a stressful situation, "the body prepares to fend off harm, to protect itself," releasing hormones and adrenaline that block the brain's ability to retain memory."It can't be controlled. It's part of our built-in protective system," he said, adding that up to 30 percent of defendants convicted in homicide cases claim to have amnesia at their trial.

"There are many people that never remember the actual events," Samuels said.

Alexander suffered nearly 30 knife wounds, was shot in the head and had his throat slit before Arias dragged his body into his shower.

Arias has said she recalls Alexander attacking her in a fury. She says she ran into his closet to retrieve a gun he kept on a shelf and fired in self-defense but has no memory of stabbing him repeatedly.

So they just said on HLN the hearing is being postponed until Monday - some kind of issue with one of the attorneys.

Your nephew is a brave man. When I was in Vegas, we went to a shooting range and shot assault rifles that they use in the military. I knew my chances of getting hurt we're slim to none, but I can't tell you how scary it was to see so many around me with guns and the sound shakes you to the core. I really felt as though I had an insanely small glimpse of what it would be like to be in a situation surrounded by gun fire. Don't get me wrong, my experience is not comparable to your nephews, but I can see how PTSD affects so many of our soldiers. Unfortunately a medal, while acknowledging what they went through, does not help with the emotional/psychological aspect of such atrocities. I hope your nephew will overcome the effects of war and be able to live his life without limitations.
