i have to admit i have a problem w/ comments like "the guy was already brainwashed, and VERY conflicted. so enter jodi....." there is no way to know this, and nothing like this has ever been said by any of his family friends coworkers that i can remember - imo - i have never seen anything that said TA had problems w/ PPL,
no one knows what was in travis' mind, and basing anything on any of jodi's lies in my opinion is a disservice (like how he hurt her) in my own experience i have seen friends whos bf's break up w/ them offer the friends w/ benefits thinking that will win him back, and the men go for it not realizing the ulterior motives
like i say, this is just my opinion, but none of us know what was in TA's mind, or even jodi's, though it is easier to guess cuz she is still alive to talk, and i just don't feel right putting any blame on the victim for being in the most wrong place and the wrong time where he had that unfortunate meeting w/ jodi arias
