And let me bend over while you apply it!!!!!
Okay serious now. I believe in PTSD in the sense that our brains are able to shut out horrible things until we are able to understand and process them in a healthy manner. And that time may never come for some people. I think this happend to my mother when she lost a child at the age of 17 months. There is a lot that she does not remember from him being sick and I think her brain has protected her over the years.
I also think that Jodi has suffered from some type of PTSD. I'm sure that seeing the horror that she inflicted on Travis was hard for her brain to process. HOWEVER, and this is the big part in this trial, she went there with the intention of harming him in some way. She was tired of being his dirtly little secret and was not going to take it anymore. I feel that after a morning of sex, there was a conversation of her going to Cancun and not Mimi. I believe Travis told her that that was not going to happen and she finally snapped and went berserk on him. I don't think that Juanderful has stressed to the jury just the amount of strength and determination it takes for someone to slit a throat from ear to ear! This was an out and out attack on Travis! Not self defense.
Looking forward to next week. I really hope that Juanderful tears apart the "expert" witness. I can't believe that the judge has allowed the Time Magazine article. That's one step above quoting People Magazine as far as I'm concerned.
Oh, DH and I call Nurmi "Nummy".
On a side note, let's see if this trial is still going on next month while I'm recovering from surgery. Yep, that's the route I'm taking on my neck. I have two discs poking into my spine and one pinching a nerve. My thumb constantly feels like someone took a hammer to it! When the surgeon mentioned that until I had this fixed I needed to avoid diving into waves and riding roller coasters, I piped up and asked for the first available surgery date! I'm not one to sit around and watch life pass me by! I knew it was coming as my Dad and both brothers have had similar issues. Guess we'll all have matching scars now!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!
