AZlawyer, thank you so much for your contributions to my understanding about the law and this case in particular.
My question is about evidence that will be admitted in the retrial of the mitigation phase. Specifically, JSS ruled on the admissibility of many, many pieces of evidence. Are...
...and the jury saw primarily Travis's side of those that were admitted into evidence. The jury knew little about JA's crazy stalking behavior that led Travis to the conclusions he reached. The jury gave Travis justice. The current situation is simply a stumbling block on the path to ultimate...
Even if the allegations of abuse by Travis were true nobody would want JA to be a spokeswoman for victims of domestic violence. Professionals in DV intervention do not advocate killing ones abuser.
A worthy cause, no argument there, but a mitigating factor????? It's no sacrifice at all for her to give her hair away. They even came to her to get it, not like she had to seek them out. aurgh!!!!!
Do we have evidence/testimony to the bbm portions above? If so could someone please direct me to it? My apologies, I know this isn't a question specific to the lawyers I just couldn't get those points out of my mind after reading them earlier. tia
I think the brutality of 27 stab wounds, slit throat, and gunshot to the head is a big part of why so many people are so wrapped up in the case. If she had stabbed him just once it may not have made the news beyond Mesa/Phoenix. Also the extreme cruelty factor, as presented by Mr. Martinez...
Hopefully somebody in the know will see this question before things start hoppin' tomorrow.
I can only find a little bit of information about Dr. Carp and her involvement with the defense. What I know is that she was an expert for the defense earlier in the case, JA told her about many, many...
I realize that JA's relatives may be called during the penalty phase of the trial, but isn't it interesting that the only thing her mother has to offer in the way of defense is to be in the courtroom everyday? She doesn't have ONE THING to say in defense of her daughter against a murder charge...
Andrea Yates suffered from severe mental illness. Not a personality disorder, not anxiety or depression, but psychosis. The difference between psychosis and the others is a complete break from reality. Andrea couldn't even get herself out of bed, dressed, and fed on a regular basis by the time...
Whether Travis was completely incapacitated by the gunshot is not the only argument here. I tend to take the word of a medical doctor over the word of a lying murderess who's willing to say anything to save her a$$. The lack of blood in the cranial cavity is further proof that the gunshot came...
God love Deanna! I would hate to have to recount my sexual history in any court. This is so unkind and I wonder if it's going to make any impact at all on what Deanna testified to about Travis being a nice guy.
