If you haven't heard it, Tricia did a three hour interview with Chris Hughes during the trial. He discussed so many topics regarding Jodi Arias and Travis.

Some folks are asking what will happen if Juan cannot cross examine Jodi.
It may relieve your concerns to know that how Dr. De Marte testifies this time will be quite a bit more expansive than last. She can opine on ANYTHING that she reviewed. She interviewed more people than just Travis' brother. She has been given much to review by Juan. There is always a way to go around the back if you can't get in the front. I trust that she will be able to debunk every word that Jodi claimed in front of this jury.
Also, Juan can put back up Steve Flores to rebut anything she said. He can testify to any prior testimony of others, what Jodi's said in her interrogation or her prior testimony that differs from what she said this time/
Juan Martinez isn't handicapped, even remotely with the will she take the stand question. He has been doing this for a long time. It would take something FAR more clever that Jodi/Jen/Nurmi trying to pull a fast one to derail his case.
His computer expert will complete what the jury already knows the *advertiser censored* drama turns out to be much ado about nothing.
In the absence of child *advertiser censored*, and the jury having been given NO PROOF Jodi was ever abused by Travis those matters will quickly be set to the side.
Although it stirred up a heated discussion here, that I regret, everyone agreed on one point. Whatever tools we were raised with or how the times have changed is irrelevant. We all concur that Jodi Arias VERY LIKELY was never physically abused by her parents.
As far as a mitigating circumstance being that she was emotionally abused/neglected by her folks ......
that falls flat too.
Even considering the horrible things Travis and his siblings went through, what does the jury see in them each day as Travis' brothers and sisters are in the courtroom? Lovely, elegant, educated, successful people, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, grandparents even, DESPITE EVERYTHING outside of what this murder has done to them.....they are amazing.
Jodi being jealous that younger children got attention doesn't even come close to what Travis went through, so no one on the jury is going to buy that she suffers any PTSD from HER childhood.
We learned from juror number three that one thing that was missing when she testified was even the slightest hint of remorse! THAT IS EVERYTHING.
So remain calm friends. Juan has got this.
In the end I don't think she will get the dp, and even if she did the chance of her actually being executed, imo is zero.I KNOW she will never walk free again. Jodi Arias will die in prison. I am certain of that. What day she is put down is not important to me. I want her to have the conditions of lockdown 23 hours a day on death row. I have come to understand that very likely will not be the case. I have come to understand that is important to encourage folks to do good things that would be something Travis would be proud of. THAT is honoring his life. What has always mattered to me is that her vile lies about Travis being a pedophile do not stand. They have been, thanks to Juan Martinez, thoroughly debunked and I feel a peace about that. She will try to have her story told through her friends who will continue websites and twitter accounts, etc. but the general public will move on to the next story sooner than Jodi Arias realizes. Think of it.....does anyone even talk about Casey Anthony or Susan Smith or Diane Downs or Scott Peterson, etc?
Jodi Arias' 15 minutes are about up. Travis will be remembered through his friends and family doing charity work in his honor. He will be remembered quite fondly indeed, both privately and publicly. I am thankful to God about that.
In loving memory, here is his memorial video.

Even if you just turn it on in the background while you are working, I hope you do get a chance to listen to Chris' long interview.
At the end Tricia asks him, if Travis were here today what would he say to everyone and Chris gets emotional.
He says the most beautiful things.
It will lift you up this afternoon.
I promise.
If you have a sibling you haven't spoken to in awhile, give them a call. You'll be so glad you did.
