ted rowlands joins me. i understand you have new information about how she died, ted? >> reporter: yeah, anderson, and why she was in that enclosure. we're getting this from dr. david hadden, the coroner here in fresno county. he said according to investigators, the victim here, dianna hanson, was in the main enclosure. and it's separated, all of these enclosures are separated into large enclosures and smaller pens. according to the coroner, he said investigators say she was in the main enclosure cleaning, thinking that both lions were tucked away safely in their pens and somehow, cous cous, the male lion, was able to apparently use his paw to open up the gates of the pen because it was either unlatched or was -- he was able to open it, and that is why he got out, and that is why she was in a position to be attacked. so it wasn't a situation where she went into an area that was potentially dangerous. what she went into, according to the coroner, was an area she thought was absolutely safe. she was cleaning this cage, he says, according to investigators, and this lion w

ted rowlands outside the courthouse in phoenix.here are some big problems with this guy's testimony? >> well, yeah, carol, he's made some errors in his reports. and also lost his composure on the sand and let's face it, a huge job. a very important witness, trying to convince this jury that jodi arias isn't lying, that she suffers from ptsd and that's why she has memory loss. >> and more interrogation video has surfaced. >> reporter: yes, six hours of interrogation footage over two days. it's fascinating. you hear her talk about her story, change her story, and also see her when there are no detectives in the room and when there are people. at times she is on the floor. head on the table, sometimes singing, laughing, and basically more of that video of her standing on her head. six hours of it. the jury only saw a small portion of it. >> okay. let's continue to look at this video. it's so bizarre. how much longer is this trial expected to last? >> that's a great question. delay after delay. yesterday someone threw up in the courtro

ted rowlands is live from california with the latest on this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, john. the coroner says investigators believe that couscous the lion was able to use his paw to get out of a small cage used to keep lions out of the main enclosure while it is cleaned. they say he got out of the cage and was able to then attack his victim, 24-year-old diana hanson. you mentioned the coroner's report. they believe this was such a quick attack that even in the report he went to the length to say he didn't believe diana hanson suffered at all. you can imagine that's comforting to her family. >> there was no blood. they think it was a quick death followed by just some injuries of a lion that was probably just playing too hard. also she was so happy. her last two months there for the internship at cat haven were the happiest of her life. >> john, it is truly amazing to listen to her parents, the way they have talked about not only what happened to their daughter in this facility here. they have complete support for the facility and

ted rowlands, thank you so much.are trying to understand the argument over post traumatic stress syndrome is interesting. is it effective? >> i don't think it's effective. i'm scratching my head yesterday, trying to figure out. yes, ptsd is very real. but what caused the ptsd? if it's the murder, how does that defend you from the situation? and even that diagnosis, the tests that he gave her was flawed. the prosecutor did a great job in showing that he testified using her story, the first story, now been clearly shown to be a lie. that it was an intruder, not her, who killed her boyfriend. so the test is completely flawed and not even a test that, for instance, i use forensic psychiatrists a lot in my practice, and there are other tests, a tom test, an mmpi, where they are built so someone can't lie their way through. it shows whether they are trying to cover up and make themselves look better and i think here in a strange way, that's what jodi arias was trying to do. >> i think the jury must know all they need to kn

our ted rowlands is covering the trial from phoenix. ed, i understand that the judge is expected to rule soon on an issue that is related to dr. samuel's testimony. what is that about? >> yeah, we're going to have a hearing in just a couple minutes, suzanne. basically the defense in this case want dr. samuels to testify about what a crime scene can tell you about a crime, whether it was premeditated or if it was an act of passion. the defense believes that the crime scene is evidence that this is an act of passion because it was so messy, if you will. and they want samuels to talk about it. the prosecution says that is completely nonsense that this guy is not, a, qualified to do it. and there's nothing really there, it's junk science. so the judge will hear from both sides in the next 15 minutes and expected to rule from the defense, so the direct testimony can resume whether or not the judge will allow this part of it in we'll find out very soon. >> ted, before we get any kind of rulings at all, there is buzz now, not surprising, of a t

ted rowlands is at the courthouse in phoenix. what do we hope -- or rather what does the defense hope to accomplish with the witnesses today? >> reporter: well, basically here's the thing. she has this great memory on the stand. she remembers dates. she remembers specific things that happened to her as a child, as an adult. but she can't remember everything that happened during the actual murder, the details of that. and so these two witnesses are coming on, a psychologist and then also a domestic violence expert, to basically explain to the jury that because this was such a traumatic event that's why she has selective memory. and this has been a problem for her on the stand for the last 18 days, you mentioned it. the prosecutor in this case, juan martinez, hammered away at her yesterday on her final day on the stand getting to her asking her why she couldn't remember. and basically poking holes in her story. let's take a quick listen to some of that. >> started to come in after the gunshot. after i got up and he threatened my li

cnn's ted rowlands is in dunlap, california.n i had, why was she inside the cage with a 350-pound lion? >> reporter: well, the question everybody has. not only her father, but also the founder here at cat haven has the same question, why was she in there. was she ever in by herself with this lion previously? was this the first time? you said she was with another person. she was with another intern and apparently that person was outside of the cage and tried to distract the 5-year-old lion that would ultimately kill diana but was unsuccessful. when deputies arrived, the lion was still next to die ana. they were unable to revive diana. animal planet says despite the fact the lien was basically brought up in captivity, spending his whole life here at cat haven and had no signs of aggression ever in his past, you cannot let your guard down. >> we can't forget how powerful these animals are and it does strike me as potentially dangerous for someone to be alone with a cat like this. and you can see a tragic drought come when one poten

cnn ted rowlands is near fresno. ted, what's the latest? what are you hearing?ll, wolf, we're expecting an update within the next hour. one of the big questions is not necessarily why the lion reacted the way he did. it's why this young woman was inside his enclosure. >> what are you doing? >> what do you think we're doing? it's awful? >> reporter: sanctuary owner kept the gates locked a day after his 24-year-old intern was mauled to death by a lion. diana hansen had been working here for six months. her smile in these photographs seem to show what her father said was an absolute love for the job. one of those cats was a 350-pound 5 1/2-year-old african lion who lived at cat haven since he was a few months old. this is iphone video taken by a cnn ireporter in december. investigators say diana was with another intern but was the only one in the enclosure when he attacked. >> apparently the other intern was outside of the cage and she was in the cage and i don't know why in the world she would ever be inside of the lion's cage. i can't think of why she would do th
