I saw a little bit of Nancy Grace last night and she was talking about the Arias case. What is going on there? Anybody know?

Also, haven't heard anything about the Pistorious (SP?) case lately either. Where are they with that?

Last I heard about Pistorius is that he now has to go for a mental evaluation for some period of time.

The judge has sent Pistorius for a psych evaluation according to a headline on my homepage. I can't view the accompanying video.

I heard that too. I hope it's a comprehensive evaluation and that they find something. It's going to delay the trial for at least a month.

Supposedly he's suffered from an anxiety order since childhood. I guess they are trying to go with that defense now.

I read that Arias is about to meet her new jury. Nothing more.

He's also paranoid, judging by the way he is with his guns. I guess they're desperately looking for an excuse for his behavior since things don't look so good for him, IMO. I hope they find that he has sociopathic tendencies. {#emotions_dlg.devil2}

Yes...a psych evaluation.....defence is saying he suffers from anxiety disorder.....being anxious or nervous about possible intruders/home invasion.....as a person who does have anxiety disorder I'm not buying that excuse!!!!!!

I don't buy his anxiety problem either. Many people suffer from anxiety and don't kill someone because of it.

Why would Arias ""meet"" the jury? I don't get how their system works.

PS: Thanks for the replies.
