The coveted ring.

I doubt he was cowering, afraid in the shower. He was much larger and stronger than JA. If he saw her with a knife he could disarm her. Sure she might get a couple slashes in on him, but he could overpower her by size/strenth and adrenaline.
I believe it was a surprise attack, a sucker puch (stab) that he didn't see coming.
After the first stab to the chest he was in full on defensive mode and greatly weakened which made her attack easier...
I wouldn't read too much into that photo, it was a millisecond in time. He could've been squinting looking out the foggy door etc etc...
Does this have to be domestic violence?
Can't it just be that he had a relationship with an attractive sexy woman who he had no idea was a psycho and probably did not know was a psycho until the end?
We have probably all had relationships with people that we decided were no longer right for us for whatever reason. Most people move on.
How many of us assume that even the creepiest person they know is a killer?
I figure he was a person. Not a saint. Conflicted because HIS religion does not allow for friends with benefits or premarital sex. Why belong to a religion if you are not going to follow what it says?
So he has this dilemma .
Just like movie stars do not choose their stalkers nor do they have a relationship nor is it domestic violence.
He had an obsessed "fan" that there was no way he really could predict how psycho she could be.
It is complicated because he did want things about her as well, but in the end, he was ready to move on.
She was enraged because her plans were foiled. How dare he! He owed her!!!
The photo was cropped. As for his almost smiling, I disagree, he had so many pics taken with a quirky expression that was like his signature. I found it part of his charm, endearing.
But for the last pic in question, I do see Travis almost like knowing his fate was near.
A boxer puppy! I have a 4 year old boxer...she is a lot of fun...you can see her as my avatar. You will love having a boxer.
I'm curious about how this is known. These photos were recovered from the camera's SD card. How do we know someone cropped the original?
Also, I can't understand why the 20 shower photos (except this one) were deleted, but the previous sexcapade photos and the subsequent ceiling and "dragging" photo weren't. To me, that implies there was a pause between the shower photo where someone stopped and deleted the batch of 20. And then the photo-taking resumed. I can't understand that.
geesh I hate when I sit here hoping someone else will answer posts I know the answer too but am too lazy to look up the link for my answer for reference sake. Sorry.
I agree that it probably shouldn't be dv -- although technically it is. I think the laws were broadened to include "intimate partners" mainly b/c the incidence of intimate partners that are not legally married, for whatever reason, has increased dramatically and those relationships would not otherwise have been covered under existing dv law. But that's jmo, obviously, and not the entire explanation, I'm sure.
I really don't think the dv laws were intended to cover situations like this. Close, but not in this specific situation.
:fence:
I have not heard anyone speculate this (because maybe they have seen the bottom portion of that "last" photo) but could JA already have inflicted the fatal stab to the heart in that photo? Hence his strange expression? Could he have slid to the bottom of the shower as a result of the stab? She could be standing outside the door with the camera expecting him to die like right now. Instead he gets up and hurles himself out of the shower to try to get away. She becomes furious and hacks/stabs him to finish the deed. Maybe not a realistic scenario because there might would have blood evident in the photo.

Im not sure if I'm quite understanding what you're saying, but stalking from a mate, ex, etc. is considered domestic violence as it leaves one in fear for their safety. My daughter lived with her ex stalking her for over 4 years after their breakup. The police, DA and courts called the stalking domestic violence.

I thought the same.:fence:

Morning!
I do think he saw her with the knife and imo it was a large knife (2 inches wide and at least 6" long much like a K-bar imo) Both men and women would like to believe if we were being attacked by a knife by anyone we would immediately react but sadly she could have snapped the photo with one hand..dropped the camera quickly and pulled the knife out from behind her back and stabbed him in the chest. All of this wouldnt take but a few seconds leaving him no time to react. And she had him hemmed in with no where to go but toward her holding the knife.
I have read it takes seconds for the brain to even comprehend what is happening in a traumatic event in order to be able to react. Fight or flight responses. He did not have those seconds to spare imo. He would at first be stunned...confused ..and trying to take in what was happening to him. I do think the last alive photo is him knowing he is in the worst situation of his life.
He couldnt have been in full defensive mode after the chest stab imo. If that was really the case she would not have been able to stab him in the back and the Prosecutor thinks he was standing with his back to her coughing up blood from the chest wound when the back stabs happened.
I thought he may have crouched down trying to protect his vital areas.
Many men have lost the battle when a crazy woman was knifing them to death or bludgeoning them and they were much larger than the female murderess.
The only time he was able to defend himself would be if he swung around trying to protect himself when she was stabbing him in the back, imo.
IMO
