Aggravated waiting for the aggravation phase #6

[mikeysmommom]

I hate this blame the parents crap. What exactly did her parent's ignore? How do you know so much about Jodi's childhood?

Surely the parents didn't know their daughter would brutally murder someone.

In their interview with Flores,the mom said "I asked her if she killed him" To me that is not cold but she asked Jodi because she DID know she was capable of killing someone. My grown children have not had an ex murdered but if they had, I would never even think that much less ask them if they murdered the ex. I found that very telling IMO.

So happy that tomorrow is almost here for the Alexander family. I expect the jury to take ten minutes to find the murder was cruel!

I just looked at her twitter account - the one that's been verified - and the most recent tweet was from yesterday where she's talking about the donation site. There are a couple of fake twitter accounts out there.... wonder if someone is quoting from one of those??

Same account, happened a few days ago.

I believe it was when the DT said they could see JA's reflection in Travis's eyeball.

And JM saw a chihuahua.

Jodi/DT found yet another way to torture TA's family...by forcing them to sit in a darkened room, behind JA (until Juan made her move) & basically share their brother's final sight before he was murdered. While it was being shown, Jodi sat with a pencil sticking out of her shoe, giggling in the dark with Wilmott....here is a short segment of it:

I'm saying this again, mostly to remind myself.

After watching her parents in the interrogation videos, I see that they KNEW something was off with CFja, but, at that age, what do you do?
You can warn folks about your 'loved one', you can push for help, you can push for intervention, you can walk away, you can also push it under a rug.

I have a bpd sister, she's violent, she's horrible, she's, simply put...bat *advertiser censored* cray.
I've called cps at least 50 times. I've warned new people in her life. Her ex husband is high ranking LE in her area and he knows, and has heard from me a number of times.
I have spoken to the people that tried to get her help during one particular outburst.
She has no long term friends. After people get to know her...they run as fast as they can.
I have a niece that she adopted (LONG LONG story...thus why the many calls and pleas with cps, who was worthless in this case. They've been told that if something happens...they have blood on their hands. WHO calls before they do a 'welfare' check? WHO DOES THAT?? ~jm..lol...) that niece is why I do maintain some contact and our father does his own welfare checks...but I pray that my niece is grown and gone out of that house before my father can't do his own checks on them.

I've said it before and I'll say it a million times....
In EVERY case like this...somewhere, sometime, someone ALWAYS says they saw it coming from the cray person and aren't surprised.

KWIM??

And since they obviously knew JA had problems and/or mental issues, and they obviously weren't THAT surprised that she could do something like this (at least her dad didn't appear to be), WHY do they believe her story of self defense??

[SusieD]

When does the Son of Sam law apply to her income?

My understanding of the Son of Sam laws is that is prohibits a convict from profiting from the crime.

David Berkowitz cannot profit from a book about how he snuck up and shot people. He can write the book but proceeds must go to victims.

He can write a romance novel and is entitled to all the $$$ it generates unless someone as put a lien on furture assets.

The Supreme Court has had many issues with such laws, opponents say they put a financial burden on types of speech which is not constitutional. They have been struck down in quite a few states.

 

[SunnyinMO]

Apparently Jodi is in "closed custody" in the Estrella jail. That section of the jail is for inmates who have lashed out with "unpredictable" behavior. It's twenty-three hours lock-down, just like if one were on death row.

Hmm..what did she do and to whom did she do it?

IMO she messed with Sheriff Joe and he showed her who really is the BOSS :floorlaugh:

My grown children have not had an ex murdered but if they had, I would never even think that much less ask them if they murdered the ex. I found that very telling IMO.

Considering that mom has been the victim of JA's wrath many times, including violent attacks, I could see how she could ask that question.

We really don't know what they believe. So they're wearing little ribbons, it's a meaningless token gesture. Who cares. It's not hard for me to imagine that in the aftermath of an event like this a parent would be grasping at any way to rationalize what their child did. But again, we don't know.

Because otherwise, they'd be in a corner, rocking, sucking their thumbs. I cannot imagine knowing that my child did what she did to Travis. Her father isn't using his defense mechanisms. He knows. Her Mom on the other hand can't begin to let it seep in.

 

[Hopeful One]

Her mom was definitely shocked. She couldn't understand how Jodi could go about acting normal after she murdered him. And Jodi was 27, what do we expect her parents to do?

I agree with you that her mom seemed shocked that Jodi could do this. But as someone else just mentioned, she admitted she even asked Jodi right away if she killed him. That is HUGE, imo.

Unless my child had a serious history of behavioral problems, I can't imagine I would ever even begin (especially immediately after it happened) to think he/she could murder someone. But, I can also see where, as a mom, even with past behavioral issues, she couldn't believe that her child could murder someone.

Does that make sense, lol? Prolly not.

Same account, happened a few days ago.

Hmm, I didn't see anything on her account where she says she's not evil and nothing about trusting someone..... did she delete them?

 

[Whack A Mole]

I don't care for the mother because of the behavior she has displayed in court. However, I do not agree that we can come to the conclusion (with info currently available) that her parents did not try to help Jodi.
It is VERY DIFFICULT to get help for a child over the age of 18. You cannot FORCE them to do anything, and in fact, your hands are tied in dealing with the doctors, counselors, etc due to privacy issues. They can't even tell you what is going on because of HIPPA laws (that is if you are lucky enough to get them to agree to see someone!).
They may have tried to get JA to get help, spoken to her friends, etc but JA would have most certainly resisted. With a family member who displays far more "disturbing" behavior than JA did (prior to the murder) I can tell you that once they are 18 you are pretty much screwed. It is their life and if they choose to live it in a mental health altered world you cannot stop them. Having tried SEVERAL times to get this relative committed as a harm to himself or others it is NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE! Even though he posted on FB a photo of him with a gun to his head and stated he was "done living", the hospital would not keep him overnight. It is unbelievably hard, heartbreaking and frustrating to love someone who doesn't love themselves enough to get help.
Instead, they continue to do more and more dangerous, stupid or illegal things and they end up in jail over and over again. It is a vicious painful cycle, often more for the ones who love them than the person themselves.

Yup. Once they hit 18, you can't have anything done to them or make them do anything. It sounded (in the police interview) that the mom was talking about when Jodi was younger. Aside from what her mother said about her behavior, she sounded like a normal teen. I would have tried sneaking out too but I had nothing to sneak out for and my father would have been waiting for me with a willow stick. :floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

 

[nawd68]

Here's the deal. Do we have any evidence that her parents thought she was capable of murder as a child? After she turned 18, there was nothing they could do.

IMO it's extremely petty to blame her parents for anything here. It seems like they barely had any contact with her. Her mom said she wants Jodi to move back to California because of her mental problems. What else could she do?

 

[Hopeful One]

Denial, it ain't just a river in Egypt.

 

[SunnyinMO]

Now that the Alexander family has sued Jodi, is it legal for donations to be sent to that site? HSL just said Jodi has said to send donations to her family, I would think that any moneys would have to be accounted for and given to the family. I hope the Arias family any and all of them would be in trouble if they kept the money but if people send them cash or gift cards I wonder how that will work.

I don't believe the suit has been filed yet....

My guess is that she knew Jodi had issues and that she could become violent for no reason. Still my point here is that there was nothing she could have done previously to prevent the murder as another poster suggested.

I think, as stated by Schuby, the mother is probably grasping at any straw she can grab hold of.
I don't know. It seem so cold to know that they are showing 'disgust' at the Alexander family. I can't imagine NOT having overwhelming sympathy for the victim and the family. I "get" having 'love' for your own loved one, but whyyyyy in the world would you back them the way they have? I'd have a hard time sitting in court on that side of the aisle tbh.
