I don't think she regrets the brutality of it whatsoever.

I think she loved every pain she knew she inflicted upon Travis.

IMO

I totally agree.

What was said about JA screaming like a cat? I was at work and missed that.

sexual proclivities re: sex tape sound effects

Jodi testified that before the murder she and Travis were in his office when she grabbed a bunch of CDs of pictures of Jodi and Travis on vacation. She said Travis had been bugging her to see them. When she tried to play them, she found that they were damaged, blah, blah, blah. Today Juan brought up a great point: If Jodi didn't plan to go to Arizona, why bring the CDs? Touche, Juan!

Were any CD's found? Most likely just another made up lie.

Were there photos of the actual sex on June 4th? I only saw photos of Travis in bed apparently sleeping and just waking up, and of Jodi's $^&**$ that was obviously taken with a timer.

Not according to Beth Karas and HLN, it will be Nurmi. Nurmi objecting today during JMs closing supports that.

I think deep down Nurmi cannot stand Jodi, he has tried to get off this case for years , judge did not allow it. He barely phones in an effort, and has looked overtly disinterested to me, for the entire part of the trial since I have been following. If he is suddenly under the weather, yes, Jennifer can do he closing. I believe she is the one who is dp qualified, not him. Is that correct? ( I am NO NURMI FAN, at all, cannot stand him, totally creeped out by the folks he solicits on his website ....yuck)

I know Judge Perry would not stop the show, he would say Nurmi hand Jennifer your note pad, Jennifer have a coke and a smile, girlfriend , you are up. I miss Judge Perry. He was a trip!!:blushing::blushing:

My prayers are with Travis's family and friends tonight for comfort and peace and then with the jurors to grant them the wisdom to render the proper verdict of guilty of first degree murder.

My emotions are overwhelmed tonight after listening to closing arguments today. I cannot fathom what it must be like for Travis's family. Juan spoke for Travis and all victims today. He was masterful in weaving together an incredible tapestry. I cried a number of times while he spoke of Travis and then of his slaughter.

May God wrap his love tenderly around Travis's family and bring them justice.

I loved JM's closing. The best I've ever seen. That being said, why didn't he talk about how painful the stabbing must have been and how heinous a crime it is? That very few murderers even would have the *whatever it is* to slit someone's throat from ear to ear?

he will talk about this in the phase

 

[Bittiness39]

What does the "mitigation specialist" do?

In the event that the jury finds 1st degree murder vs. JA, there is the possibility for life imprisonment or the death penalty. Once the jury renders a verdict, the mitigation specialist, will then try to help the defense team coordinate as many family/friends etc... To put in front of the jury to save Jodi from the maximum penalty...or to try and get a less stiff year-wise sentence.

Great point! It will be torture and will raise my blood pressure, but I've watched from the beginning and I will be there until the end...for Travis and his family.

As for me will not be watching, I will be here following the posts. For the Alexander family I will Fast on Sunday because that's what they asked. That's the best I can do at this point--I just can't watch them victimize him one more time.

I believe I heard Jodi say (lie) she carried them around in her purse all the time so just happened to have them when she got to Travis's.

I think he is probably saving that for the sentencing piece where he says why she deserves the DP? maybe? Reserving things like that and maybe the begging for the DP quote will make them more powerful during the next phase. But I don't know much about the next phaae

Dan Freeman, the one who I personally do not like. The one who has been visiting Jodi for years. He he is on HLN telling his story all over again. Proclaiming he is a Very Dear Friend of Travis and didn't know that Jodi had really done it. You see he doesn't follow the news he doesn't have a TV.

MOO

Dan is not an honest person and no true friend of Travis. "A close friend of Travis" doesn't have an clue that Jodi may have killed him?

MOO

Gcharlie, your post deserved more than just a thank you. What a simple yet profound post.

 

[Jane Jetson]

Oh, you know Nurmi won't disappoint, much to my dismay and disgust! :banghead:

I have no doubt Nurmi will use every single sexual word, phrase and sentence over and over and over again - it will give him great pleasure to try to make out poor little Jodi as an innocent and abused victim - it will make me ill once again, but I will try to get through it.

I will be waiting for his closing argument to be over and for Juan to come back and lower the boom and remind us what this case is all about - the heinous, vicious, premeditated murder of dear Travis by a cold, calculating, lying witch (sorry, no offense intended to good witches out there).

I will be muting it if it gets too disgusting.

 

[sammie]

As I sit and watch my son's hair start to fall out (from chemo) I know without doubt I would trade places with him
He is my son.

Travis was a son, grandson, brother, and friend. How dare this B*^ch take that away.

Nothing but the DP is going to satisfy me. Nothing.

God bless you and your son. You have my prayers.

Can someone do a screen shot of the Mitigation Specialist for me from today? I have to show my DH her eyebrows and eyeshadow!!

Here you go Mr. Liebchenmutti :giggle:

What does she do everyday besides pat and rub Jodi on the back ?

 

[neesaki]

I finally got through it all. The manner in which Juan so passionately wove the facts and the evidence of this case into one neat, nonsensical package and presented it all to this jury was masterful. I was completely mesmerized. He was like a gifted artist at work. A man of honor and a true hero, imo. I just love him.

 

[Chelly]

"Nuh uh" ( I love when he says that)

Oh thought of another while I was in the shower.

Squealed like a cat!
