Our own Katie
K: Crying, very shook up, explain that neither Travis, nor her sister were stupid to be duped by their murderer, they instead were
vulnerable.
The power of a demon, to cause people to step outside of their reasoning, both sis and Travis were up against something far beyond their capability of managing. There can be red flags, but we could have had NO IDEA that a murder would be what happens. NEVER. She says she understands true evil now, and their ability to manipulate is so far beyond good people's ability to imagine.
Michael set the Alexander's and Katie up in hotel room during the closing arguments, and Katie is crying about how sacred it was to have this quiet time. She loves him so and thanks him so.
Hugs to Chris and hugs to our dear, dear Katie. We love you!!! ( that is from Tricia )
When Juan Martinez finished his closing, I just LOST IT.
Even in Travis' death, I was immediately surrounded by Travis' friends , hugging me, we were letting it all out.
Tricia: It was Travis' goodness that makes us all better for knowing him, He truly was amazing.
? from Tulessa, Chris you are the true meaning of friendship. Chris do you know what the financial fraud person was going to testify about?
CH : No, I do not friend.
Tulessa: We love you and Sky
? from Grace : I feel your loss I have nothing but admiration for the Alexanders, the way they have been there every day, Deanna Reid, the admiration I have for that woman!!!
I think Jodi started planning murder the day she pulled out of Travis' driveway in UHall and had to return to squalor (paraphrasing ), she was on a downward spiral, big time, emotional and financial spiral, big time, with Travis she saw good life, the travel, the nice house, etc. ...when she had to leave Mesa to Yreka, she started planning, even if subconsciously
CH: I am with you
Grace: A girl who went to family home evenings with Jodi, there was NOT A DAMN thing wrong with Jodi's finger, she was at the exact family home evening from the day of the alleged abuse
I've read through the entire court minutes, she forged those letters in her cell, in my opinion, then somehow acting as her own attorney, she passed the letters to Matt, and this is why he did not testify.
I cannot tell you how much my heart goes out to the Alexander family, Chris , please tell them they have my admiration for who they are. For Deanna, I can certainly see why Travis was still in love with her.
CH: I agree, she is a fabulous woman!
Tricia: You are wonderful, please call every week.
Grace: I would like to see Jodi get dp because she will be so isolated. Tanisha and Steven wish for her to get it, and I agree the social isolation will be a great punishment for her, she wont be able to make calls, etc.
CH: What would Travis say to this group of people? Travis would preach a sermon,
You are a divine child of God
Greatness is in you
Your past does not have to equal your future
What Travis wanted to do
(Chris is crying)
He wanted to share God, JESUS, and personal development
If you are happy, awesome!
If you are not, you do not have to live like that anymore
you can tear up the pieces of the paper of your life tear it up into little pieces and write it all over again
be better today than you were yesterday
Travis would tell you, my life was a MESS, and I pulled myself up.... with the help of God.
Tricia, for your listeners, there may be somebody like Travis, or like me, we did not have anything, not even the money to go to college, but you know what he
lifted himself up
You can live any life of your choosing, it is your choice and ONLY YOUR CHOICE
If Travis were here he would lift you all up in Christ right now
That was Travis
Travis was good as Gold.
We all have an obligation to forgive, I am going to ask everybody that is listening to not allow Jodi to have any power in your life.
Regardless of the verdict, if we do not forgive she will have power in our life. I refuse to give that to her. We have to forgive.
I am unsure if I have the scripture quote perfectly, but it says
I the Lord I will forgive, it is given to you to forgive ALL people.
I will forgive and I will be liberated, completely, from this tragedy in my life. We cannot hold the grudge and keep the darkness in our life, that does not hurt the other person,it only hurts us. Allow the light of forgiveness to penetrate your heart.
Tricia: Travis Alexander has taught so many people, your words are from his heart. We thank you for sharing with us Chris. Thank you!
CH: Thank you so much Tricia. Goodnight everybody.
