Someone had asked about the state's expert witness, she won't be coming on until the defense rests. The state's expert is Dr. Janeen Demarte. Psychology Today lists some of the issues DeMarte deals with:
- Anger Management

- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Sexual Addiction
- Teen Violence
- Antisocial Personality
- Borderline Personality
- Narcissistic Personality
- Domestic Abuse
- Sexual Abuse
- Oppositional Defiance
- Suicidal Ideation
- Bipolar Disorder

It sounds like she's perfect for figuring out Jodi! Here's more information on her.

What's also interesting is that her home was broken in this past Feb and her laptop was stolen. In that laptop was a psychological profile of Jodi Arias.
Quote:
Brian Foster has been following the Arias trial closely. We asked him, could this burglary hurt the case?
"It could be really a big deal but only time will tell. If the information gets out there in the public domain, or gets in the hands of the defense attorneys earlier… it could really undermine the prosecution's case."
Demarte hasn't been called to testify just yet. She's expected to do so after the defense rests. At Demarte's house, we saw three patrol cars and a couple of detectives on scene, along with a crime scene van. It's an unusual response for a normal home burglary.
Right now detectives are trying to figure out if this was a random burglary or if this had anything to do with the Arias case.
"It seems very suspicious. It could just a normal home burglary but this Dr. Demarte has been listed as an expert witness in publicly filed documents for over two years now, so who knows?" Laptop belonging to expert witness in Arias trial stolen |
