This got me thinking . . .
With Arias being a known liar and both experts relying on her statements to render a "diagnosis", what method (other than their "Her statements are consistent with . . . " justification) was used to determine her truthfulness?
Did either request an independent polygraph to validate her responses and their conclusions?
A poly to assist rendering a diagnosis; If not . . . Why not?
FFS! You'd think Jodi would jump at the opportunity to have witnesses state she passed a poly to confirm their respective diagnoses of PTSD and satisfy the truthfulness of her portrayal of an abusive and pedo Travis.
Not to mention his being a demander of journal page removal, too.
But hey . . . at $250 - $300 per hour, lies yield a far greater return than the truth.
Especially when you know the State, and not the defendant, will pay the bill.
