Martinez remains bothersome, to me.
I agree. He should wrap and shelve this.
However . . .
I was pleased he was able to have Samuels admit he used a diagnostic that is indicated for individuals currently receiving psychiatric treatment.
Samuels was forced to admit that Jodi was NOT receiving psychiatric treatment when he administered this "test".
Samuels' questionnaire was less than 200 questions and specifically for individuals currently receiving treatment.
Martinez argued that the MMPI at almost 600 questions was better suited, as Arias was not receiving psychiatric treatment and the alleged goal was to identify potential psychological ills prompting her behavioral pathology.
Martinez's point: "You fucked-up by administering the wrong test to render an evaluation to accurately diagnose any condition(s) and determine appropriate treatment. Your results ain't shit. "
