1. 0:00do you agree or disagree uh with Dr
2. 0:04Samuels as to the post-traumatic stress
3. 0:07disorder she does not have post drumatic
4. 0:09stress disorder how about under a if you
5. 0:10can tell us again what it refers to and
6. 0:13whether or not you agree or disagree
7. 0:15with Dr Samuels as to whether or not the
8. 0:18defendant meets that
9. 0:21criteria a is the presence of a
10. 0:23traumatic event that cause go ahead that
11. 0:27causes a strong sense of Horror
12. 0:31fear so do you agree or disagree with Dr
13. 0:34Samuels as to that whether or not the
14. 0:36defendant meets it Dr Samuels indicated
15. 0:39that he that she experienced PTSD as a
16. 0:42result of the killing and so um do you
17. 0:46agree or disagree with his assessment
18. 0:48there the way that she describes it she
19. 0:50felt fear for her life so she would meet
20. 0:52criteria for a yes well what about the
21. 0:56fact that perhaps there was these two
22. 0:58Intruders that came in
23. 1:00if these two Intruders came in and
24. 1:02there's this
25. 1:04event is that the basis for this meeting
26. 1:09this
27. 1:10criteria if that's what he based his
28. 1:12diagnosis on then that would be
29. 1:14inaccurate and would you then agree that
30. 1:18that that's and if you can't meet the
31. 1:20first criteria in other words if you are
32. 1:22basing in let's assume that uh it's a an
33. 1:26event that may or may not have occurred
34. 1:28if it's an event that didn't occur would
35. 1:30that automatically do away with
36. 1:33post-traumatic stress
37. 1:37disorder overrall the jury is directed
38. 1:39to recall the testimony presented during
39. 1:41the trial would that do that as I yes
40. 1:45because as I highlighted earlier the
41. 1:46symptoms are strongly related to the
42. 1:48actual trauma which is that criteria a
43. 1:51that you're referring to does there have
44. 1:53to be an actual event that triggers this
45. 1:59or can it or can this post-traumatic
46. 2:02stress disorder be based on a made up of
47. 2:07it it cannot be based on a madeup event
48. 2:10what if it turned out that that was an
49. 2:13absolute
50. 2:14untruth that it wasn't a stranger it was
51. 2:17somebody that she actually knew you
52. 2:19indicated that that would invalidate the
53. 2:22rest of the test right it would
54. 2:24absolutely invalidate the test well what
55. 2:27about the position that that for for
56. 2:30example that says well she still
57. 2:31suffered trauma it's just that she maybe
58. 2:34it was a white lie that she told about
59. 2:36what the triggering event was if it was
60. 2:38just a white lie and all of this other
61. 2:42stuff here refers to the white lie does
62. 2:45that some somehow validate this test it
63. 2:49does not again because PTSD is strongly
64. 2:52tied to what the actual trauma is so in
65. 2:55terms of this PDS if the trauma was not
66. 2:59related to to a stranger in terms of the
67. 3:02opinion in this case is it worth
68. 3:06anything no other than it's an other
69. 3:09evidence that Miss Arius decided to lie
70. 3:11on a t objection judge may we approach
71. 3:16according to this PT PDS test Miss Aras
72. 3:20meets these criteria doesn't she
73. 3:23according to the according to this PDS
74. 3:26test she meets the criteria for a b c
75. 3:29and d according to the falsified
76. 3:30traumatic event that she was referring
77. 3:33to this falsified traumatic event that
78. 3:35you want to keep talking
79. 3:38about keep talking about improper
80. 3:40question
81. 3:43over we just established that this event
82. 3:47this trauma that she's talking about is
83. 3:50when she
84. 3:52was again I'm showing you same exhibit
85. 3:54assaulted and her life was threatened
86. 3:56right by a
87. 3:58stranger and that's going to make a
88. 4:00difference to you absolutely okay so it
89. 4:03doesn't say stranger here right that's
90. 4:06what number four is no I'm talking about
91. 4:08the handwriting it doesn't say stranger
92. 4:10does it correct that doesn't say
93. 4:11stranger there it just says that she was
94. 4:13assaulted and she felt her life was
95. 4:14threatened right in right okay and
96. 4:18so if somebody so if somebody's
97. 4:21assaulted and their life is threatened
98. 4:22by someone they know then that's not
99. 4:24traumatic is that what you're saying no
100. 4:27you're mischaracterizing what I'm saying
101. 4:28all right well then you would agree
102. 4:29agree that that's traumatic
103. 4:31right ask the question again please if
104. 4:34somebody was assaulted and their life
105. 4:36was threatened by someone they know that
106. 4:38would be traumatic it could be traumatic
107. 4:40yes okay and so sometimes when
108. 4:44somebody's life is is threatened that's
109. 4:46not that may not be traumatic right it
110. 4:47depends on the person's perception of it
111. 4:50and their perception is is that they've
112. 4:51been assaulted and their life is
113. 4:53threatened that according to you may not
114. 4:56cause any trauma to somebody it could no
115. 4:58it could cause a trauma absolutely all
116. 5:00right
