Wow, look at the comments! If that is her channel.
:moo:
Is that for sure Travis?

I just saw you on DR. DRew. (I DVr'd it).
You spoke very well. I loved what I heard. What I didn't like was that stupid co-host who made the
abuse" statement and then didn't let you clarify that of course, you' don't believe jodi was ever knocked unconscious or anything, but instead, that she appears to be exaggerating what actually happened.
Is this her youtube channel? If so, it was set up just a few days before she murdered him...

When jodi was talking about vampire BF - out of context she tosses in that she used to read lots of Anne RICE novels (Not sure of spelling of author) but it makes no sense why she provides this nugget. So my question is - does anyone know this author? Is there a clue here? Does she use part of the author's book(s) in her plan?
Here is my transcription of what I heard on a news snippet falling asleep last night that made me get up, write down the clip to ask you guys this am!
jodi: 'He wanted to move to SF and he had all kinds of wild ideas, which were, they seemed fun but they were just not where I was so at that point I just broke up with him.'
Attorney: 'what do you mean wild ideas?'
jodi: 'um, well he entertained the belief in vampires and he thought lets go to San Francisco and see if we can find some real vampires. And you know, I used to read Anne RICE novels at the time it seemed like....it didn't seem realistic to me.'
***********
So, something about the way she provides that seemingly insignificant detail to the story just tosses my hinky meter. So, anyone have any insight?
CORRECTED AUTHOR SPELLING
I'm not a mental health professional but I truly believe there is no cure for what Jodi is. Whether you call her a psychopath or not she is as close as one can come to pure evil in my opinion. How does one teach empathy to someone incapable of feeling it?Still catching up....I must go faster or I'm going to miss today's live testimony....
I cannot believe she had the gall to lean forward to the court reporter and tell him to slow her down if she is going too fast. First of all, really? Seriously? JA, are you really that full of yourself that you think you can out-talk a court reporter? They probably could transcribe the thoughts in your head faster than you could get them out of your mouth you egotistical, maniacal, lying piece of excrement!
I just think that was an out and out "I'm important" statement.
She needs help. If, for some reason, this jury decides she shouldn't die for this crime, they really need to consider committing her to a mental health facility for the rest of her life, where she lives in a padded room, eats Xanax 3 times a day, and has a frontal lobotomy. She is one very narcisistic (sp?) human being, MOO.
Did vinnie have a moment yesterday?
I am re-watching some of JA's testimony from yesterday. I have noticed that she uses the word "discipline" vs DT use of "beatings". Even she knows she wasn't getting beatings. I hope the jury picks up on all of JA's lies.
I'm going to quickly try and take care of some household chores before the trial begins, but I wanted to weigh in with my prediction for today's testimony.
Jodi will continue to keep the court watchers and jury on the edge of the back of their seats with her riveting stories of life in a town that was being torn down by greedy bankers to be turned into a golf course. She and her band of misfit friends went on a quest (led by her current-at-the-time, boyfriend, Matt) to find some long buried treasure. Her stories will be interspersed with inane details, like the names of dogs ("Ringo"), her favorite brand of laundry detergent "Tide, because it gets the stains out" and every parttime job she ever had. P.s. They found the treasure, but to save their lives from the abusive ninjas following them, they had to choose to live or fight for the treasure. As always, they chose "life".
Alright, see ya in 2.5! Save me a seat and don't forget to share the opcorn:
HLN will show it but at a point, they *usually* convert back to the regular shows. Last week it was at the 4pm hour, but I think yesterday they went longer. That is your best bet for national coverage. They pick up at 3pmEST after IS goes off.
Her upbringing did not sound all that bad to me. There is a big difference between 'far from ideal' and 'abusive and neglectful.' She was sent to private schools, had private piano, flute and art lessons. Saying that your parents were 'lukewarm' in their enthusiasm of your artistic talents does not equate to cruelty or indifference, imo.
And her complaining about moving from school to school sounded like whining, imo. Plenty of people have to move around. That's how things are sometimes.
I think she is TRYING to make her parents seem like monsters when they are probably just regular old 'flawed, imperfect' parents, like a great many people have. JMO
Yep, it's going to be another episode of "As the Arias Turns".
Why is it hard to believe Jodi was beaten as a child? Do we really think she had an ideal upbringing, considering her later actions?
I think there's some confirmation bias going on around here. Seems some believe she is guilty and are just not going to believe anything that might help her case, no matter what it is.

Putting her on a psych ward would be akin to putting Darlie Routier, Susan Smith, Casey Anthony or Diane Downs on one. Each woman knew what they were doing when they decided to murder their children. Each woman understood the difference between right and wrong. Each woman decided the payout for murdering her child was greater than that child's life.

I haven't read all of the discussion from yesterday and don't know if or when I'll catch up, but I was tuned in all day yesterday but not posting. I'm using DH's laptop while our pc is in for service.
Re: Jodi's testimony. I don't believe a word she says! JA has been coached, for sure, and her deadpan delivery indicates that she has no real emotions. Her eyes are dead - except when they dart from side to side, up or down, as she attempts to tell a story of her life that isn't true.
I think that Jodi has relationship issues and is desperately trying to find someone to love and care for her on her terms. She felt "betrayed" by her mother who disciplined her not unlike any other parent when their children act like "brats". Jodi is full of herself and thinks that she is better than everyone and, therefore, should be treated as if she is special. Her small voice and elementary-schoolgirl appearance don't fool me one bit, and I don't think the jury will be fooled, either. :moo:
Okay, more from yesterday's testimony...
She pointed out that her boyfriend wanted her to walk on inside so as not to be next to traffic. I didn't realize that was a controlling behavior. When I walk my dog, dog goes on the inside, even if I have to dance around him 1,000 times, he is on the inside, I am on the outside. When I walk with my kids (17 and 19) I am on the outside, they are on the inside (they actually don't like this becausde they want me on the inside but I won't allow it...maybe when they are in their 30's, but for now...I'm on the outside).
Controlling? Perhaps. Courteous? Yes.
