HAYES RECAP:
-Hayes rebutted Geffner's claims that Demarte used invalid tests and was wrong not to consider PTSD when evaluating Arias.
-Hayes essentially supported Demarte's testing method, interpretations, and Demarte's rationale for discounting defense test results that indicated PTSD (because Arias had lied about the event that had supposedly traumatized her).
-Hayes did testify that she personally wouldn't count time before she was licensed when calculating her years in practice (though Demarte did so, IIRC) - minor point.
Testimony Over! On to closing arguments tomorrow.
