From the point of entry into the skull and passing through the R Frontal Lobe and the re-entering the facial skeleton through the Ethmoid Bone, the bullet passed between the Optic Nerves. It traveled away from the medial and posterior aspects of the eye, so the eye itself was in no danger. The...

I agree. This thread is really moving fast. I took the weekend off and missed like 20 pages. I can't possibly make that up. I think 2 is the most likely. I don't see him moving much after the throat wound. One of the Crime Scene photos (I can't find it on HLN) shows a couple of large...

Not possible. The path would have been straight down and would have exited into the mouth. He says R Anterior Fossa, a different structure than the Frontal Sinus. It re-enters the facial skeleton at mid-line. According to your path it never left the facial skeleton. That is not what is...

Your interpretation of the the trajectory and anatomy is off a little. The bullet path is a very steep angle. It passed through the Frontal Bone and into the R Anteriotr Fossa (no way it did not hit the Frontal Lobe as the Frontal Lobe takes up all of the area behind the forehead and above the...

So, her changing her mind on how she intended to kill him suddenly nullifies her intent to murder? For Muder I, all that has to be shown is that she went to AZ with the intent to kill Travis. All of the evidence stacks up to show that she tried to get into and out of AZ without anyone...

If you accept that he was shot first in the shower, then there would have been at least several seconds from the gunshot to the head to the slashing of the throat or the stab to the chest. That would allow plenty of time for the head wound to bleed. The stab to the heart was life threatening...

Well, once his throat is cut and either he bleeds out from his throat being cut or his heart stops beating because it has died because of the lack of blood flow to the heart, then we can use this information to determine the sequence of events. The stab wounds would have had to have occurred...

The simplist reason I have come with for him being at the sink is that he was either already at the sink when the attack started or getting very close to the sink when it started. I cannot come up with a good reason for him to have went to the sink if he had been shot or stabbed in the shower...

The gun jamming wouldn't have hurt her finger. The slide goes back, the bullet does not enter the chamber correctly, and the slide does not return to the ready to fire position. The trigger won't pull because the firing mechanisim is off. It isn't anything painful, and often you don't realize...

Why is it that it is ok for him to be disoriented by the gunshot, but not for him to be disoriented by being stabbed once or twice? It fails every level of reasoning that he would accept help or think that the woman who just maneuvered him around in the shower at gun point so she could shoot...

What he testified to in court carries as much weight as what he writes in his report. Did the defense challenge him on the bullet passing through the brain? He did testify that it passed through the Frontal Lobe. The bullet entered near the Superior Orbital Bone transversed throught the R...

Again, you focus on the wrong aspect of the case. Which happened first, gun shot or stab wound, is meaningless to whether this was Murder I. Everything she did prior to entering the states of AZ indicates a pre-planned anonymous trip to Travis' appartment. The killing blow was with a knife to...

How do you get to the knife being the first weapon used would result in a lesser charge or hung jury? Neither weapon ensures a slam dunk case. If he can prove that the gun used was her grandfather's, then that would be a slam dunk regardless of when it was used, first , last, or in the middle.

It does not prove that the gun jammed. You are jumping to a conclusion that you want, because it supports your theory. All this tells us is that her story is not true. Either way, your's or her's, why did he go to the sink? If he is functioning well enough to fight back after he is shot...

You tend to twist what is said and either overlook or ignore simpler explanations. He said that the path of the bullet would have passed through the brain, but he could not see the track of the bullet due to the decomposition of the brain. That is not saying that it might have missed the...

I agree with you that using the gun would have been the most logical choice for Jodi, but we are talking about a woman who does a multitude of illogical things. There is not a whole lot of physical evidence that the attack started in the shower, or at least no evidence of where the where...

Many, many people freeze in highly stressful situations. The Fight or Flight system does not always get triggered as you like to imply. Now, I would say that his did which is why he has defensive wounds on his hands and was heading down the hallway toward the stairs. The element of surprise...

I think he was already at the sink or going that way. She gets him to turn then stabs him (stomach then chest). The pain and realization of what just happened hits him and he turned back toward the sink, not to inspect himself, but to just to get away from her. She is off center to his left so...

It isn't real complicated. The largest supply lines to the brain had been cut, so there really wasn't much blood getting to the brain. Getting your throat cut is not an instant death, it takes a few minutes for the organs to start shutting down from lack of blood and oxygen. In that time...

Yes there is evidence that she brought the knife. No knives were missing from the house and the wound don't match any of the knives in the house. So, the knife had to come from outside the house. She didn't leave herself any room for the scenario you suggest. Just because she brought the gun...
