NURMI CONTINUED TO PLAY GAMES WITH DEMARTE IN COURTROOM…..IT’S CALLED ‘NAME CALLING’!!
Many times people behave so erratic, rude, obnoxious, snarky, cocky, crude and add to that….. behaving like a ‘school-yard bully’ and on top of that, you’re the defense attorney? An unethical one at that! That’s right! What a list of skills for Nurmi to add to his ‘resume’ if he’s ever looking for another job. Very impressive!
I don’t know what law courses Nurmi signed up for or who taught them but I don’t believe he stuck around long enough to get the test results of how he scored! I can tell you right now that he ‘flunked’ the course of ‘people skills’ without a doubt!
Numerous times on cross, Nurmi referred to Dr. DeMarte as ‘Dr. Death for the State.’ Even though Juan objects and gets it stricken from the record each time, it didn’t hinder Nurmi from continuing to say it several times. It didn't STOP HIM!! And the jurors continued to ‘hear’ it. Although Judge Stephens has instructed them to strike that statement, they’re all human and it’s in the back of their heads.
I was disappointed in the line of questions that the jurors asked. I didn’t expect these types of questions at all.
Jury questions:
Q: Was Jodi mentally ill prior to the murder?
DeMarte: She has Borderline Personality Disorder. That doesn't come out of the blue, it happens over time.
DeMarte: She has Borderline Personality Disorder. That doesn't come out of the blue, it happens over time.
Q: Without having training in DAPS testing, what is your basis for believing Dr. Geffner administered it incorrectly?
DeMarte: It's a self-reporting test. Don't need extensive training in it. Any psychologist could have picked out his errors.

Q: Do you feel that the knowledge of a sexual assault is as damaging as having a memory of it?

Q: In one of the communications between Jodi and Travis, Travis says Jodi can have all of his passwords. Is that still considered unwanted intrusive behavior?

DeMarte: No, not when they exchanged information. As time went on, it was clear that Travis took away the permission.
Q: There were some communications between Travis and other women where he complained that Jodi wouldn't leave him alone. Were these people, like Michele Lowry, aware he was still seeing Jodi?
DeMarte: Not to the extent it was sexual.
DeMarte: Not to the extent it was sexual.
Q: How long in total did Jodi work at the Purple Plum both times?

DeMarte: It's a psychological disorder which has the same meaning as mental illness.
Q: How does dissociation play into Borderline Personality Disorder?

And there were two times that stuck out in my mind…..but believe me, there were MANY where Nurmi was so unethical!!!!!!!!!! Here is one of his statements.
DeMarte: “What’s your question?”
Nurmi: “Fine!!!! You don’t understand!!! We’ll move on!”
Nurmi: “Fine!!!! You don’t understand!!! We’ll move on!”
Another one!
DeMarte: “I prefer to think……” and before she could complete her sentence….Nurmi screamed back at her!
Nurmi: SCREAMING AT HER! “Did I ask you if you ‘preferred to think’? Did I ask if you that?”
DeMarte: “I prefer to think……” and before she could complete her sentence….Nurmi screamed back at her!
Nurmi: SCREAMING AT HER! “Did I ask you if you ‘preferred to think’? Did I ask if you that?”
Sorry…..! Nobody has THAT right to be so hateful! At this point, I just want this trial to be over with and go away! I’ll talk to you later…..I’m taking my ‘cooling down time.' smile emoticon
