Jennifor Willmott said that the 6 point evaluating was not used anymore. It had nothing to do with an older version or a new one. It was the 6 points that she said wasn't used anymore. I don't know if DeMarte was talking about this test when she was asked which version she was using. The version she was using was still considered valuable and wasn't out of date it was just that a newer one had just been released. She wasn't required to use it and like I said it doesn't matter if it was an older or newer version that wasn't the point. Willmott continues to make huge blunders when it comes to her knowledge of clinical psychology and DeMarte tries to explain and Willmott cuts her off with sacrcasm and continues anyway. It the jury feels like the public they don't like her. Jodi doesn't have migraines but us watching the trial are from listening to Willmott.
Nancy Grace is one of the most venomous and hateful people I have ever seen. She has never shown even the slightest consideration for any defendant in ant case and convicts every one of them and dismisses anyone who exerts reasonable doubt. Jennifer Willmott has done a terrific job defending the principle of presumed innocence and deserves respect unlike Nancy Disgrace. As for perpetrating dishonesty NG does it virtually every time she speaks.
nancy grace was showing a different 6 points than the one lenore walker was talking about. the last point was different. lenore still uses the 6 points system, it's been changed and modified. demarte used the old one, not the new one that lenore uses now. jennifer was not lying. nancy grace was misleading. re watch it and you will see the 6th point is different, just like jennifer said. i was surprised nancy did not get into lenore walker working as a defense witness for oj simpson. (no i'm not.) he credits lenore walker to being the one that got him off. she worked with johnnie cochran for 20 years. nancy hated her back then, (1995). but now she's a long time fan,(since 1984). go figure.

In an attempt to standardize criteria for BWS, Walker (1992) revised the definition to be synonymous with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a psychological condition which results from exposure to a traumatic event. Indeed, PTSD is described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR; American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Many single instances of domestic violence, and certainly the cumulative pattern of violence and abuse over time, easily meet the DMS-IV-TR criteria of a traumatic stressor. These criteria are (1) events that involved actual or threatened death or serious injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of self or other and (2) intense fear, helplessness, or horror. The symptoms that defined PTSD include (1) intrusive symptoms (images, thoughts, perceptions, nightmares; distress at exposure to cues that symbolize or remind one of the traumatic event; physiological reactivity to exposure to internal or external cues that resemble the traumatic event), (2) emotional numbing1 (feeling detached or estranged, inability to recall important aspects of the trauma) and behavioral avoidance (efforts to avoid thoughts, feelings, conversations associated with the trauma and activities, places and people that arouse recollections of the trauma), and (3) hyperarousal (difficulty sleeping, anger and irritability, difficulty concentrating, hypervigilance, exaggerated startle response) (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). The psychometric validity of PTSD symptoms has been recently validated with women exposed to intimate partner violence (Krause, Kaltman, Goodman, & Dutton, 2007).
Walker again revised the definition of BWS in 2006 to include not only the three symptom clusters of PTSD (re-experiencing, numbing of responsiveness, hyperarousal), but also three additional criteria (disrupted interpersonal relationships, difficulties with body image/somatic concerns, and sexual and intimacy problems) (Walker, 2006). Many 'associated features' (e.g., impaired ability to regulate emotion, dissociative symptoms, shame, feeling permanently damaged, hostility, social withdrawal, feeling constantly threatened, impaired relationships with others) often accompany PTSD, but these are not included in the criteria for its diagnosis. Walker has not provided a rationale for selecting a particular subset of these associated features and for including them as criteria for BWS.
"Nancy Grace's interview with Dr. Lenore Walker tonight proves that Jennifer Willmott is a LIAR-- and, that she posed a dishonest question to Dr. Janeen DeMarte, when she asked her if she knew that Dr. Walker no longer uses her own criteria to test for evaluating a battered woman. Willmott's question should be stricken from the record, and the jury advised that she is either a liar or incompetent or both."

I got this from facebook and wanted to know if it is true and if she can lie in court like that?
