That one completely flew over my head; too busy nodding it in agreement.
According to HLN, the woman who's expected to testify as an expert witness for Jodi Arias is Alyce LaViolette.
Her website starts off by highlighting her work with battered women. Her 20 page CV is linked at the end of the home page; kinda sparse on education (MS in Community/Clinical Psych) but a lot of domestic abuse counseling experience within the general and criminal communities, including as an expert witness.
LaViolette's "Experience" listing includes being a consultant and expert witness for a Death Penalty case in Arizona from 2011 - 2013. Wonder if she conferred/consulted directly with Samuels; not sure if that's allowed between experts or if they have to go through the lawyers only.
If she's as likeable and credible as she initially appears, Martinez might be wise to adjust his style some while she's on the stand (not likely), despite the fact that I think her expected claim of Jodi Arias being a battered woman is pure bullshit. Or, she could turn out to be another quack.
