JA: That's my sister, she's not dumb.
JM: Well, do you remember having a conversation with Travis Alexander back on May 10 of 2008?
JA: Yes
JM: And do you remember that you tape-recorded that conversation?
JA: Yes
JM: And during that conversation isn't it true that you said I honestly think, talking about Angela, she's a little bit dumb. You said that, right?
JA: Yes, I called her dumb and stupid
JM: Did I ask you whether or not you called her stupid ma'am?
JA: No
JM: I asked you whether or not you called her dumb, right?
JA: Yes
JM: Now take a look at exhibit 452. Do you recognize the two people there?
JA: Yes
JM: And this photograph was taken by your camera, correct?
JA: It looks like it.
JM: Well, when you say it looks like it, isn't it part of the same photographs that are involved in exhibit 413?
JA: Um, I think it is
JM: well exhibit number 413 that was taken on May 10 (bring it in) of 2008, right?
JA: Yes

JA: this exhibit?
JM: No, exhibit 452
JA: I only remember it was the spring, I think
JM: of 2008
JA: yes
[Move for the admission of 452
Objection, lack of foundation. Counsel approach
452 is admitted]
JM: Ma'am take a look at the back of exhibit 452 to see the date on that. Does that date refresh your recollection as to when this photograph was taken?
JA: yes
JM: and what date was this photograph taken
JA: 5 days later the 15th of May, 2008
JM: And with regard to this photograph, it also features you and it also features your sister the one that you also said was stupid, correct?
JA: Yes
JM: Now with regard to this name calling, one of the things that we heard through a text message was that you were upset at somepoint because Mr. Alexander said that you were going to turn out like your mother, or you were acting like your mother, do you remember that text message, ma'am?
JA: Yes
JM: And in that text message there was this indication that somehow he was saying something bad about your mother
JA: Yes
JM: And when you testified, you seemed to get pretty upset about that, right?
JA: I remember getting emotional
JM: and you indicated that you loved your mother
JA: I do love my mother, yes
JM: did you or did you not indicate that you loved your mother, I'm not asking you if you love your mother, I'm asking you if you indicated it.
JA: I don't remember
JM: Do you have problems with your memory, ma'am
JA: Sometimes
JM: So you can tell us, for example what kind coffee you bought at Starbucks back on June 3, 2008 , but you can't tell us what you said yesterday or the day before
JA: I always have the same drink at Starbucks
JM: And you can tell us, for example, what type of sex you had with Mr. Alexander many years ago, but your having trouble telling us what you said a couple days ago
JA: when I'm under stress, yeah, it effects my memory
JM: I thought you said that your relationship with Mr. Alexander was very stressful
JA: some of the sex wasn't
JM: pardon
JA: some of the sex wasn't
JM: so you did enjoy the sex then , is that what you're telling me?
JA: at times I did.
JM: but you did indicate at some point that, as part of your examination also that, Mr. Alexander at some point said something about your grandparents also. Do you remember telling us that?
JA: my grandfather
JM: right, that he made some perjorative comment, or some bad comment about him, right?
JA: yes his name
JM: Right and one of the things that seems to be coming out here is that you have a double standard with regard to making comments about people, don't you
JA: yes I do
objection, overruled
JA: I do
JM: and in fact it's okay for you to make comments about, for example, Angela to call her dumb and stupid, right
JA: no,
JM: well you said it right
JA: I did
JM: and we heard on the telephone conversation that you were laughing when you said that, right?
JA: it was sentimental, kind of
JM: you were laughing, you weren't upset when you said it, were you?
JA: no
JM: and then when Mr. Alexander says something like you're going to be like your mother, that's when you get emotional and upset, right?
JA: I did
JM: and you get upset when he says something about your grandfather, right?
JA: that night I was upset
JM: well you did get upset, yes or no
JA: no because I already was upset
JM: Well, you didn't get upset on the witness stand when you told us about that?
JA: oh yeah on the witness stand, certainly
JM: and it's okay to say these things unless it's Mr. Alexander that's saying them, right? You're applying a different standard to Mr. Alexander, correct, yes or no?
JA: No
Peeping
JM: ma'am one of the other things that we know regarding this standard applying, yesterday in fact
you told us back in August of 2007 you went to Mr. Alexander's house, do you remember telling us that?
JA: Yes
JM: And do you remember telling as at that time, you were broken up with Mr. Alexander
JA: Yes I had broken up with him
JM: well you had broken up with him or he had broken up with you, one or the other, correct?
JA: I broke up with him about a month before
JM: and you broke up with him on June 29, 2007, but you felt that it was okay for you to go over to his house in August 2007 didn't you?
JA: after he told me to
JM: yes or no, did you feel it was okay to go over to his house?
JA: I said yes
JM: and when you went over to his house you indicated that you knocked or you did something and that nobody came to the door right?
JA: I went over to his house a lot of times in August so it depends on the incident your refering to
JM: Ma'am we're talking about the incident you told us about yesterday related to the killing do you not remember that
JA: I did not knock
JM: And you did go over there and at some point you started to peep in to the house, didn't you?
JA: Yes
JM: so that means that you don't know if you knocked then, right?
JA: I did not knock I know I did not
JM: So you went around the back to look, right
JA: I went around the back to get in
JM: You went around the back then, right
JA: Yes
JM: And when you went around the back, you're telling us you went around the back to get in, right
JA: Yes
JM: but when you got to the back to get in, you started to look at what was going on, right?
JA: I glanced in as I was walking to the sliding glass door
JM: You did walk in and you looked at what was going on,right?
JA: I did not walk in
JM: then you were outside looking in'
you never went in, right
No I ran out of the backyard
You never went in, right, yes or no?
JA: I said no
JM: and when you looked you saw something that upset you, right
JA: Yes
JM: you saw mr alexander,right
JA: I didn't know if it was him at first, but yes
JM: yes or no, did you see him during that encounter?
Objection she's answered the question, overruled, answer the question.
JA: I did, I said no
JM: pardon
JA: I didn't know it was him at first
JM: You didn't see him when you were there that night?
JA: I did afterward, yes
JM: That night Ma'am, that night, did you see Mr. Alexander inside that house, yes or no
JA: Yes
JM: and inside that house there was a female
JA: Yes
JM: What's the name of that female?
JA: He didn't tell me her name
JM: Did I ask you if he told you the name?
JA: No
JM: so did you recognize her
JA: no, I did not
JM: he was there with a female, you were able to see her face
JA: yes, sort of
JM: well yes and sort of means two different thing
JA: part of it was shadowed by the tv behind her
Judge, she's not answering my questions. Judge: answer only the question you are asked.
JA: Ok
JM: could you see her face, yes or no
JA: part of it
JM: But you were able to see that they were making out, right
JA: oh yeah they were
JM: So is that a yes, they were making out, right
JA: mmm hmm,
JM: is that a yes
JA: Yes
JM: and part of what you also saw was that her brassiere was off
JA: I didn't see that I just saw her re-hook her bra
JA: I didn't see it all the way off
JM: You indicated that you saw her hooking the brassiere back on, right
JA: she was rehooking it
JM: so you did tell us that yesterday, right
JA: yes
JM: So that means that at least her bra was unhooked, right?
JA: it was unhooked
JM: So you stood there and they stood up in reaction to something that you did, is that what you're telling us
JA: No
JM: they didn't see you,
JA: they didn't see me
JM: so what happened is that you were actually watching what they were doing?
JA: Briefly, yes
JM: did I ask you for how long, ma'am?
JA: No
JM: I asked you if you stood there and watched them, right
JA: no
JM: you didn't stand there and watch them
JA: no, I didn't stand there, I saw it and then I turned and ran out of the backyard.
JM: but you saw them enough to know they were kissing, right
JA: um, yes
JM: you used the term making out, didn't you yesterday
JA: yes
JM: You were there long enough to see that one of the individuals was Mr. Alexander not his roommate
JA: yes
JM: you were able to see there was a female, right
JA: Yes
JM: you saw the bra was unhooked, right
JA: Yes
JM: And the lights weren't on, right
JA: there was a light
JM: Well didn't you indicate it was like a TV kind of light
JA: that light
JM: Yes, so there was no light there was a television that was on
JA: that's light
JM: ma'am was it a light or was it a television that was on,
JA: it was light from a television screen
JM: So are you saying that it was a television that was on then
JA: Yes
JM: and from that light you were able to make all this out, correct
JA: yes
JM: No other light was on
JA: Not that I recall
JM: And then you decided to leave
JA: Yes
JM: And this was the point you were living very close to Mr. Alexander, right
JA: No
JM: Well, you were living within 10 miles of him weren't you?
JA: I was living between greenfield and Broadway, I don't know the length
JM: How long would it take you to drive it
JA: About 15 minutes depending on traffic
JM: And after you saw this one of the things you did was that you took off, right
JA: Yes
JM: And then you thought about it, right
JA: Of course
JM: And you felt strongly enough about this that the next day you called your father, right?
JA: I called my parents' house, my father answered
JM: Yes or no, you spoke to your father?
JA: I did speak to him
JM: And you were crying, right
JA: Yes
JM: And you were upset about this, right
JA: Yes
JM: And you told him why you were upset, right?
JA: Yes
JM: I thought you said before that you didn't discuss these issues involving you and Mr. Alexander?
JA: not typically
JM: Not typically, you said you didn't yesterday and the days before, remember telling us that?
JA: the violence, yes
JM: Oh, I see. But you did discuss the fact that you saw him kissing with somebody else with your father, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And as a result of that you decided to go talk to Mr. Alexander about it, right?
JA: Yes
JM: What in the world gave you the right to go talk to an ex-boyfriend with whom, according to you, you'd broken up with. What right do you have to do that?
KN: objection, Judge, argumentative. Judge: Sustained
JM: Ma'am, you knew that you could go and talk to him about that?
JA: Of course
JM: Why, weren't you broken up?
JA: Yes
JM: You were being territorial about him weren't you?
JA: No
JM: oh you weren't, then why in the world would you even care what he was doing?
JA: Because he was trying to court me back
JM: That's you telling us that he was trying to court you back, if he was trying to court you back you could have walked away at that point, couldn't you?
JA: Yeah, I could have at any time, I guess
JM: Well, at that point you could have walked away, right?
JA: Yes
JM: You didn't need him for his paycheck, right, cause he wasn't giving you money.
JA: He was giving me money
JM: Well that was for some work, but you could have gotten other work, right
JA: I guess I could have looked
JM: You guess? You worked at other places, you know you could have gotten other work, couldn't you?
JA: not in August it's a very slow season for restaurants
JM: So you're saying that you were restricted in only getting work at restaurants, that there's no other kind of work that you could get.
JA: Restaurants is
JM: Yes or no?
JA: I guess that would be no, but I hadn't thought about it.
JM: So thenin addition to that, you were living in your own place, right?
JA: No
JM: Well, you were living with Mr. Alexander?
JA: No
JM: You were living elsewhere, weren't you?
JA: Yes
JM: You were living in another place, right
JA: Yes
JM: Where you were paying rent, right?
JA: No
JM: You weren't paying any rent at all?
JA: Not with Rachell
JM: So, in other words it was even better for you, you didn't have to worry about having to pay the rent then, right
JA: Yes
JM: And so you could have just left that situation alone, yet you decided to confront him anyway, right?
JA: Of course.
JM: and the reason that you did it is because you were jealous, right?
JA: No
JM: and you did talk to hinm about this issue, correct.
JA: Yes
JM: And he got upset with you, right?
JA: No
JM: he didn't get upset and scream and run upstairs isn't that what you told us yesterday?
JA: Yes, he did
JM: So, ma'am to go back to this issue involving the text messages, one of the things that you told us was that there was a text message you sent to somebody by the name of Steve, Steve Carroll, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And that it was a two part text message, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And this two part text message, one part ended up going to Mr. Alexander, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And that he got upset about it right,
JA: very yes
JM: And after he got upset about it, one of the things he wanted was to see the second part of this text message, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And so you lied to him at that point, right?
JA: No
JM: Well, you fabricated a second text message didn't you?
JA: After that point, yes.
JM: So, are you telling me that fabricating a text message is not a lie?
JA: No, I'm not saying that
JM: So you did lie to him, Mr. Alexander, right?
KN: Objection, asked and answered.
Judge: Overruled
JA: Um, Yes and no
JM: so you think that sending him that text message and telling him this is the second part of the text message that that's not a lie even though you fabricated it?
JA: That part was the lie
JM: And so then you were asked the question How did that make you feel when Mr. Alexander was
sending these text messages involving Mr. Carrol? Do you remember that line of questioning?
JA: Yes
JM: We're applying a different standard then, right?
KN: Objection, argumentative
Judge: Sustained
JM: With regard to this issue of how you feel, isn't that the same way you felt when you were peeping in hi window in August of 2007? Isn't that the same kind of feeling you were having?
JA: the same as what
JM: As the one involving Steve Carrol
JA: I don't know
JM: you were mad at Mr. Alexander both times
JA: I wasn't mad at Alexander
JM: You weren't mad at him, but you were upset with him.
JA: what time
JM: either time
JA: Steve Carroll no, the girl from phoenix, yes.
JM: And it just seems that it's okay for you to lie to him about a guy, but when it comes to him being with some other girl, you decide to confront him, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And one of the other things that you told us yesterday, was that you were monogamous with Mr. Alexander, right?
JA: Sexually, monogamous, yes
JM: Ma'am, you told us you were monogamous and that's what monogamous means, sexual, doesn't it?
JA: I think it means more than that, sometimes.
JM: Well, in this case monogamous means sexual doesn't it?
KN: Objection,
Judge: restate the question
JM: When you say monogamous it means sexual, doesn't it?
JA: which time
JM: The time that we're talking about right now., involving Mr. Alexander, no other time.
JA: Our relationship evolved so
JM: I'm not asking you if it evolved, at the end, right when you killed him, you indicated that you were monogamous with him, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And at that time, you then left the killing scene if you will and you went up to Utah, right?
JA: Yes.
JM: And when you went up to Utah, you ended up with someone named Ryan Burns, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And you ended up in his bed, right?
JA: I think it was a love sac
JM: Ok, and with regard to that, at that point, according to you Mr. Alexander still wasn't dead, was he?
JA: wasn't discussed.
JM: Well did I ask you whether or not you discussed it with Mr. Burns? I didn't, did I?
JA: I wasn't talking about Mr. Burns.
JM: I'm asking you at that time, didn't you tell us yesterday at the time that you went up to Utah, you weren't sure if he was dead, do you remember telling us that?
JA: Not in Utah from the Hoover Dam or right before the checkpoint.
JM: So, when did you konw that he was dead, tell me that.
JA: I got confimation of it on June 10, but
JM: So, okay if you got confimation on June 10th you met with Mr. Burns before June. 10th didn't you?
JA: Yes
JM: You met him on the 5th, right?
JA: Yes
JM: so at that point, you didn't know , according to your own story, that Mr. Alexander was dead, right?
JA: I guess I knew, I didn't Iwasn't accepting it
JM: you either knew or you didn't, which one is it ma'am? Make up your mind please.
KN: Objection, asked and answered.
Judge: Ask another question.
JM: Did you know he was dead when you and Mr. Burns were kissing?
KN: Objection, asked and answered.
Judge: Overruled
JA: Um, yeah I think
JM: You think you did or you weren't sure about it
JA: I wasn't really in my own mind, I was out of my mind, sorta.
JM: so if you didn't think he was dead, that portion of you didn't think he was dead, then it's okay for you at that point, if you didn't think he was dead to sort of roll around with Mr. Alexander, with Mr.Burns and that was okay, right?
JA: I'm single.
JM: Just like he was in August 8th in August of 2007
JA: Yes
JM: So it's okay for you, then it should be okay for him, right?
JA: It was okay.
JM: Then why did you confront him the next day if it was okay?
JA: Cause he was still courting me, I wanted to know where I stood.
JM: And because of your definition of courting you, you felt you deserved an explanation, right?
JA: yes
JM: Hadn't you just had intercourse with Mr. Alexander on the 4th of June?
JA: Yes
JM: And if he was still alive, he would have deserved an explanation then for you being with Mr. Burns, right?
JA: no
JM: Well, I mean that's you're applying a different standard here, aren't you?
JA: No
JM: You're saying that its okay for you to confront him about the situation, but not okay for Mr. Alexander to confront you, right?
JA: if he wanted to confront me, it would have been okay.
