and another thought... if it WAS Travis' gun he would have KNOWN it was loaded.... TRAVIS WOULD HAVE STOPPED RUNNING AT HER!
He would have yelled NO NO its loaded!!! I have no doubt. Shes a cold blooded murder and she makes me sick.
I have a little personal confession to make about this case.
I'm extremely attached to this case, much like I was to the Caylee Anthony case because I can relate to them both due to my own personal circumstances.
I grew up and was raised in Riverside County. Not in the city of Riverside, but the same county. I lived in that county for most of my life before I moved in with my husband. We now live in Orange County.
I was also born to two drug addicted parents. There I said it (so many years later it's still hard to say). I was also raised by my grandparents due to my parents struggles. I was shuffled back and forth twice, once because the state had removed me from my mother and step-fathers home back to my grandparents where I remained for the duration of my childhood. Normally when people ask about my background I simply say that my parents had responsibility issues. And due to their drug use that was certainly true but not the full story.
I saw and dealt with things as a child that children should not. It is for that reason I believe that like me, Travis was far more mature than he appeared. In our situation you have to deal with very adult situations and circumstances at a very young age. For a child growing up its hard to understand how drugs can be more important than your own children. Travis was only immature in dealing with romantic relationships due to his inexperience. But I fully believe he had an abundance of maturity due to his upbringing.
Since Travis had a past much like my own I'm enraged that Jodi took from him what children who come from pasts such as our own work so hard to accomplish. We do everything in our power to change the cycle. To be better than what we came from.
Travis could have been something. And Jodi took from him the chance to work towards the goal that I'm sure he was always working to attain, as I myself do on a daily basis. To rise above the beginnings we were given. God hands cards and circumstances that, at times, are completely out of your control. You can either fold or play the hand you are dealt with dignity and resolve to play the game no matter what.
I hope that wherever Travis is that he knows he played the hand well and with great dignity regardless of some of his failings. I hope he knows he attained his ultimate goal.
How so? By pausing and giving her more time to get the hell out of Dodge?

Dog lover here too..... I have been curious during the trial, did I read that she closed his gate off so he could not go downstairs? If so does that mean during the 7 days Travis was rotting Napoleon had no food or water?
I don't like this more question business.
Why are they trying to get convincing answers out of her?
They must have doubt.
Wonderful, moving words JSR.
To add to what you've said -- because of this horrible tragedy that was committed on Travis, he has become an inspiration to many, many more people than he could have touched during his lifetime. Go Travis!
Well, where in Texas are you, girl? :seeya:
LOL...yes, to be a fly on the wall when they finally see her masterpieces! :floorlaugh:

Re Question 6 about her calling the cops on Bobby, I think she said the cops didn't come because Bobby called back and claimed it was an errant call. Even 14 yrs. ago it's hard to imagine a woman's call for help could be negated by a male calling and claiming the call was a mistake.
DFW Are you in Texas also?
Oooohhh!!!! That one just might really be my fav answer! :floorlaugh:
My daughter has an art degree and owns a studio/gallery in a very popular art district here in the south. She is a WS'er and is keeping up with this case when she gets home from work. I cannot wait to see her when she hears that BS!
:laughcry:
Come on....that HAD to sound insane and incredulous to these jurors. I actually feel sorry for the defense team. There is no shutting her mouth. Zero client control.
