I liked one of the first questions about "flight or fight". Samuels answered that "flight" is the first instinct, IIRC.
It would have been much easier and safer for Arias to run outta the house that day if she had actually been under attack as she described.
Samuels is using a lot of qualifiers today, "almost certainly", "essentially", "fairly confident"... The Doc needs to work as an expert witness in the future. Like he says, practicing his trade doesn't pay nearly as well (and it's a lot more work) than evaluating and testifying.
Some of these questions still make me fear that there's at least one jury member who's waffling or buying the defense story. Most strike me as reflecting doubt in Samuels's diagnosis and credibility.
Hoping cross is scathing and finished up today.
Haha. Bad hair-cut trauma equivalent to Global Transient Amnesia question.
