2013-01-14 Afternoon testimony.

Detective Melendez

Computer in the home--Computer was in sleep mode.
--The last time that somebody did anything with it was 2008-06-04, 3:34:49 p.m.
--a password was not needed to get into the computer as the forensic software uses a different route to get to the information.
--Det. Melendez also examined a telephone, it was a pocket PC and was located in the office. Was not able to look at all the messages. Was not able to extract the text messages as there was no technology at the time of examination. It has since become available.

CROSS EXAMINATION

Re: Camera--Camera was in the washer, as all in one piece, memory stick was in the camera. Melendez had to buy a power cord. Camera doesn't appear to be ruined. There is nothing broken on it other than the button to take the photos is missing as it fell off when Melendez was handling the camera. The camera button is rubber.
--If the camera were upside down the button would be hitting the ground.
--When Melendez got the camera it wasn't wet. He couldn't really tell as he used gloved hands. It wasn't noted in his report if the camera was wet or smelled like bleach. He doesn't think he could smell bleach.
--The memory stick did not appear to be crushed and did not look like somebody tried to break it.

Re: photos of Travis in the shower.--Photos from 5:22:24-5:30 p.m. There are many photos taken of Travis in the shower. Poses are in different positions. Travis is able to turn one way or the other and doesn't appear injured. Doesn't appear to be involved in any altercation. In some of the photos you can see the right side of his face and the left side of his face.
#148, Photo of the side of Travis, left side of his face. Shower head would be at the back of his head.
--Some of the photos from earlier in the day were time stamped. In one of those photos you can see Travis and in another you can see Jodi.
<my feed went out!!! had to refresh>
#159--Photo of Travis in the shower, looking at the camera, Melendez testified that it appears Travis is sitting.
#150--Photo of ceiling, Melendez testified that this photo was taken 2-3 feet off the ground. Photo is blurry and appears to be an unintentional picture.
#162--Appears to be blood coming from the right side of Travis. Again, this is the photo that we have debated ad nauseum of the possible dragging picture. Camera was on the floor upside down. Camera button would have been on the ground and difficult to reach.
#163--Camera is upside down. Photo is of the floor.

Re: Pocket PC phone--Melendez powered it on and looked at it & wasn't able to extract anything. Defence says that Melendez could have taken photos of each text message on the phone. There was over 15,000 text messages. Melendez said it would have taken him eight months to take photos of all the text messages.

Re: Laptop, found in the office off the garage entry way. --Melendez was able to do a forensic examination of this laptop. Based on information on the Compaq Presario, Melendez understood it to be Travis' computer.
--Upon powering on the computer it said "Power ID, virus alert". Melendez isn't sure what it means. He did not see any virus on the computer. It was checked for viruses.

Last time laptop was 4:54 on 6/4/08 - almost close to 5pm on that date . . . timing of photos 20 - 25 minutes before shower photos began. . . .

(JA wipes hair from eyes in a creepishly sort of KC style)

don't have any knowledge of when photos were deleted . . . . some photos were taken in afternoon - nude photos appeared to be taken by a person - no reason to believe they were preset or autotimed photos (couldn't say) believe they were taken by a person.

ReDirect -
Photo of TA - series of photos in the shower #160 - 5:30:30 . . .

#161 - 5:31:14 - 45 seconds later - don't know what was happening . . . . look @ camera -

Pros. Atty just dropped camera to floor - did that take 45 seconds? NO
Objection!

Afternoon recess!

oopsie - camera fell on the floor. Mistrial request for prosecutorial misconduct. :floorlaugh:

Here's the photo I missed.

View attachment 29162

Objection - evidence should not be ruined . . ie dropped.

State Atty - there was carpet there - dropped 1 or 2 feet - nothing improper - no more tests being conducted . . . no legal reason for Defense to cite

Defense - improper for State Atty to testify . . . doesn't make it ok for him to break it . . . . please admonish the State to not ruin anything = if you want to use evidence for demonstrative please approach . . . . (we cannot even write on evidence)

JA been asking for State to provide evidence . . . .

when Melendez was on the stand . . . . .he was asked

Judge asks witness to step down and return 10 min . . .

Apart from the State assertions that these didn't exist - reason for not providing them in discover - going on for a year now . . . on June 18th we were in front of Judge Duncan . . . text messages and emails - did you look through everything . . . yes - but you didnt

prior testimony in Jan - he went thru every single email . . . clearly now the testimony has changed . . . these text messages existed in 2008 - what he did with texts is in direct . . . . from testimony that he gave before.

We have to cede on the State's part re: these text messages . . . we put forth proseuctorial misconduct - we are renewing that now - we did that before in front of Judge Duncan - cumulative effect of misconduct is growing.

Keep in mind this has been litigated in front of Judge Duncan - at some point . . . why didn't he cite Det. Melendez . I don't know what he is talking about with . . . perhaps he thinks that all hispanic names sound alike - Objection your honor - I am not done.

He couldn't get the texts because he couldn't extract them . . . . he testified it would take too long to take photos . . . .after the technology developed 896 - between 25- 30 text messages per page - it would have been impossible to take pics of every text message - highly inflamatory comments. . . . . .

When the technology became available - 2 years ago - texts were made available to defense counsel - his inflamatory comments are demonstrative of prosecutorial misconduct. . . . .there was there nothing about technology . . . .refer court back to 1/10/10 and 4/20/10 - court can go back to records - we will see Det. Melendez did testify tosomething different he is testifying now . .. he did not talk about seeing all these messages - because back then that would have motivated testimony about what was in them . ..

State asserting motions in 2010- cumulative prosecutorial misconduct . . .

Have yu had these texts for 2 years - yes but that is not the point . . . in 2010 they were forced to turn them over . . . .

what did your client suffer as a result?

Defense - Brady violations your honor - I don't know . . . when there is direct violation of exculpatory . . . . sexual . . . took months of litigation for the State to turn over what they already had . . . tht is why we are doing trial in 2013 -

State back in 2008 did not come forward

Judge wasn't presiding over this in 2010 - she will look back over Duncan's motion - she will take motion under advisement - they will take a recess.

Whew!!!!

--2008-06-04 16:54 was the last time there was any activity on the laptop. This was about 20-25 minutes prior to the shower photos beginning.
--The nude photos appear to be taken by a person. No reason to believe they were auto-timed...no way to tell. By the angle they appear to have been taken by somebody.

REDIRECT

Re: Photo of Travis sitting down, #160, 5:30:30. #161. 5:31:14. Difference of 45 seconds. No way to tell what was happening during that 45 second break in time.

NOON RECESS

<Missed the part where Martinez drops the camera>

DT is speaking about the text messages that Melendez says he was not able to recover from the phone. Melendez' testimony today is in contrast to what Melendez said previously. The DT was told that the text messages didn't exist in 2008 & 2010.

DT is renewing their request for prosecutorial misconduct and says that their multiple requests are warranting a mistrial.
PT says that Melendez said he could look at the text messages but could not extract them. After the technology was developed there were 896 pages of text messages obtained and the information was made available to the DT two years ago.

DT is now saying that they asked for the text messages but they were told they didn't exist. In 2010 there were proceedings in front of a different judge. The testimony at the time was that some of the messages were looked at. The DT is saying the story is different now during the trial.

DT has had the messages for two years.

DT is asking for a mistrial. Judge asks what prejudice the DT's client has suffered.
DT says :Brady violations.

Judge will take the motion for mistrial under advisement and look at previous testimony and make a decision.

Det. F on the stand . . . discussing the Miranda warnin . . . . exhibit #348 - admitted . .

(wonder when the courtroom will know about those pictures being broadcast out of the room?) . . . . Wonder if Miss JA knows right now? (I kinda doubt it)

Video -
Det. F - w/JA - a lot of details in this case are only known by person who did it and us . . . I believe you know some of those details.

JA- OK - I would love to help you any way that I can


Issue of photos had not been released at that point . . . asked JA if she would voluntarily agree to answer questions - yes . . . . marked for exhibit - Miranda warnings #349 admitted

Video - Det F w/JA - F says . . . he Wants to know. . . ask you some questions you can voluntarily answer if you want . . .
JA- Yes

asked JA about MySpace and asked if she had written a letter . . .
Exhibit #350 - admitted

JA w/Det F - JA - yea - I know a lot of people on FB have been posting really nice things - I thought I should do somthing like that . . .then I posted and it sounded (?) . . . I took it down . . . I am a photographer so I posted pictures and then I took those down . . . reading FB and MySpace . . . and there is Legacy.com where you can write something about him.

Prosecution: "With respect to any calls from Travis to Jodi, were any of them made after June 4, 2008 1732 hours?" Answer: "no". Prosecution: "And in regard to that particular date were there any calls made from Travis' phone after June 4, 2008?" Answer: "no calls made from Travis' number".
Prosecution: "How many calls were made from Jodi's phone to Travis'?" Defence objects, it is over ruled. Answer: "four".

DEFENCE

Re: Exhibit 363
Records are from May 31, 2008 to June 15, 2008 and do not reflect any text messages. Defence makes the point that somebody could be responding to a text message.

PROSECUTION
What was Verizon's retention policy regarding text messages in 2008? Answer: 3-5 days, the information would be overwritten after that on their servers.

Prosecutorial misconduct alleged - cumulative - he has done it again according to the Defense Atty.

State asked about the text messages being erased . . . .since then the State has supplied them to the Defense.


State says - Mr. Citizen alleged that Verizon did overwrite that - but Mr. Melendez testified that he went to the sim card not Verizon to get the text messages. . . . the technology was not available to extract it at the time . . . I could view it but not extract it. . . . not sure if this allegation is out of ignorance or deceit.

Defense - it is made out of of disgust!
State Elicited testimony in an attempt to decieve regarding these phone calls - we will add these cumulative to the document we will submit today

In addition Defense - re: cannon camera - we were able to view that - we ask that the testing be done . . . . I ask for that because the last time we ask the state to provide they said it was not available and then serripiciously (sic?) sent it to texas.

The Defense is asking for the camera.

The STate says these items have been available for the Defense to view for the past 4 years and they can take it today if they want to .

State calls next witness . . . Larry (?) Mesa PD . . .
obtaining voicemail messages - he wrote court order to have the pin # changed to his voicemail account so he could access TA's vm account.

He called TA's number accessed the vm and recorded the messages on the voicemail

831-402-1901 - detail account records - name associated with that number is Jodi Arias

Call log . . . one call interested in on 6/4/08 11:48 pm - Defense asks to approach

Dustin and Ashley Thompson indicated early on as having some knowledge of what was going on . . . don't remember who told me about this information . . . . sought out court orders to obtain these records . . .

voicemail messages - listened to all of them - not just the one heard in court . .

no redirect- 1 question from the jury - counsel please approach . . . .

Juror question - could you play the voice mail #35 exhibit - I couldn't hear it.


Hey what's going on . . . right about the time you are starting gear up . . . Leslie called you - so you can call her back if you want.

I drove over 100 miles in the wrong direction near New Mexico?

You were not here to prevent me from going int o the 3 digit -

I was looking @ the May calendar not the June one - duh

I don't know when Team 3 . . . we could crater lake and the coast and shakespere or just crater lake and the coast.

6/4/08 @ 11:48 pm

Can someone send me a PM with a link to the photos which were entered into evidence at the trial on January 14. I believe they were of both Travis and Jodi just prior to his death. Many thanks.

State witness: Larry Gladysh from the Mesa PD, homicide unit.

--assisted with the murder investigation.
--Got a warrant for Travis' cell phone so that he could get the pin number changed so that he could access Travis' voicemail, this was done June 25, 2008.
Exhibit #366--
--The officer was interested in a call from 2008-06-04 at 2348 hours.
Exhibit #365--Voicemail let on Travis' phone by Jodi. She is talking about how she got lost and drove over 100 miles in error. Then talking about Travis' upcoming trip, she had the dates wrong. Then went on to talk about the play Othello and how she would love for Travis to come. "Almost midnight, right around the time you are starting to gear up."
Cell phone records show that Jodi was 45 miles north of Kingman and 27 miles from the Nevada border.

CROSS EXAMINATION
