Very well said.
I think what people have said and done to ALV is really, really terrible. It disgusts me. I wish that Travis' supporters would comport themselves better because with guys like Keifer and Rowlands out there (who are both in the DT's pocket, who whom they use to get this farce out there they can't find witnesses for Jodi because they are scared), people should be more careful, because they are obviously the ones that are speaking the loudest.
But I really wish ALV would just understand. Understand WHY people are so angry. She took very sparse evidence and the shaky word of a liar and painted a man she has not even met as an absolute evil person. This man that everyone who knew him talks about with the utmost praise and respect and admiration. Deanna Reid, who she tried to misrepresent to the jury as being one of Travis' abuse victims, thinks the world of him and still does to this day. Same with Lisa Andrews. She tried to misrepresent an email chain from the Hughes' to convince the world that Travis was an abuser. They themselves explained the emails but she is probably stuck in her opinions. She was manipulative and misleading, all because she believes all women must have been abused. Even if she knows she is lying and Jodi is lying, she just had to advocate. I agree with earlier posts: it is no coincidence that this interview is coming out now, and with Ted Rowlands of all people.
Nope. I don't think this defense team and their cohorts are in any way ethical or doing their jobs in an ethical manner. And that is just my opinion and it is my right to feel that way. And I am not basing this opinion on just this last incident. And it is not that I do not understand how the law works and how defending defendants works. I have watched enough trials to know when someone is behaving in an unethical way. They have a consistent pattern of unethical behavior, starting with Nurmi convincing Jodi to change her story so he could defend her better. All of this has left me in a depressive funk. The world had gone mad.

I've gotten to the point where I have total disdain for the DT and do not trust them for one second.
ALV just magically comes out of hiding to do an interview with CNN on the eve of a court hearing and just days after a motion was filed citing death threats she had received? Come on, this is not mere coincidence. The rumor was out there on Friday about this interview just as the last two motions were breaking news.
I am equally suspicious of the DT's complicity in CMJA's last tweet which she tweeted yesterday. "Jodi Arias ‏@JodiAnnArias 25 Aug
"The media will grab a specious story and run with it; soon it's accepted as fact..It's a form of willful ignorance." - Bill Goodykoontz"
Bill Goodykootnz is a film critic for the Arizona Republic. The quote is from a July 25 review of a foreign film "The Hunt". What is the likelihood that CMJA cleans up her twitter account of the nasty things she's said and then just happens to tweet the day before court using a quote from a month old movie review? And the movie subject was a man falsely accused of inappropriate sexual conduct with a little girl. Somehow, I don't think that she came up with this one on her own.
It is a sad comment on our society that we have so many nuts out spewing hate and making threats on people. I cannot condone this kind of behavior. It should normally be condemn the act, not the person. I say normally, because this is where ALV is confused; in the case of CMJA, the person as well as the act are condemned. ALV was shedding tears, thinking it is so sad about the hate that was being directed towards her and "Jodi too". I just shake my head...
We are seeing time sliding away with motions. I'm more concerned about how the opposing sides are going to negotiate a way to present the guilt and aggravation phase to a new jury. Based on the past, the DT is going to really be difficult about all of this, especially if their star expert is not willing to testify.
