Everyone is shuffling back in now. Counsel is still in chambers. My lunch was mediocre at best. Still kind of hungry. #JodiArias

Jury is here. Nurmi kicks out a quick chicken wing as he gets back into his closing argument. #JodiArias

I love breakfast for dinner!

I think it's a wonderful idea, especially when many moms don't have time to cook breakfast during the week.

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker (a few years), recently made it official and joined and this is my first time posting.
*waves to everyone*

I am very passionate about the trials that I follow and this one has affected me in a way I did not expect. I'm a little reluctant to share my thoughts on it, as I oddly feel the desire to keep them private.

Having said that, I just can't sit silently and not comment any longer. I have to say that if I were a juror in this trial, I would be highly offended and disgusted having to sit through this today. I don't want to break any site rules, so I will just say that it's insulting to my intelligence. Compared to JM's organized, thought provoking closing that was a straight path to Murder 1, KN's closing is like driving through a neighborhood full of cul de sac's on the way to the land of nowhere. I'm starting to get a headache from listening, and am gladly welcoming the commercials on HLN.

If I were on the jury, I would disregard all other testimony and just look at the autopsy photos and the crime scene photos. Those speak volumes to me. There was no need to slit his throat unless she wanted to kill him. Period. End of story. That is premeditated and shows a full effort was put forth to end this man's life. The stabbing and gunshot could be argued to be in self defense, but not the injury to the throat. The crime scene shows he was desperately, desperately trying to get away from her. As JM said yesterday, JA likes to add extra details to make her lies more believable. Those extra measures are what is going to convict her, IMHO. The level of overkill does not fit into self defense. There is absolutely no way to successfully justify slitting someone's throat.

My heart breaks for Travis Alexander's family and friends. I can not imagine what it must be like for them to have to sit through this.

From listening to the jury's questions, it shows they are listening and watching and are very intelligent. My hope is that they are unanimous. I am not sure if I could face her getting off the way CA did (pun not intended). It took me several months to get over the CA verdict (who am I kidding, I still get a pang of rage at the thought of it). I'm sure they are noticing that the defendant doodles, writes notes to JW and KN, smirks and rubs her nose raw. It would offend me if I were them. I expect if someone is on trial for their life, they would be more attentive and humble. Instead, this defendant would rather draw pictures to sell, write down witty quotes to have posted on twitter and/or figure the perfect way to structure a thought provoking sentence for her self indulgent manifesto. It's mind boggling that her DT never advised her to at least pretend she was interested. I think if/when she gets a guilty verdict, and some of the jury talk to the media, they will comment on her behavior and how it aided them in their decision.

I hope I post this right, I have no idea if I am. My apologies if I am not, or if I have broken any rules.

I bet JM rebuttal will end with blowing the pedo claim out of the water by going over Jan 21 chronolgy, asking how low can she go, then with banging on a surface 29 times and asking the jury to count the time, while the neck and back autopsy photos are on display.

 

[corundogs]

It happens when you use the quick reply, instead of post reply. Just refresh and you should be good to go. HTH.

Here we go...again! :stormingmad:

Yup...I know. And it's STILL being wonky for me! I am getting the dreaded pop up window with the exclamation point...or they just don't show up, but the button disappears.

But thanks for trying to help! If you gotta fix for those problems, I will GLADLY take it!

Great first post! Look forward to reading more of your posts... :seeya:

Stercumstances? Was Nurmi havnig a liquid lunch?

 

[thefragile7393]

I wonder who Egg-o is? I like him/her better than Mikee Daniels.

Her. She has been around for a while..love her commentaries.

 

[gauntlet]

Look. He's awake. Perhaps he had a caffeine infused frappe for lunch

 

[TotallyObsessed]

His brother must be so proud of him! Rumor is he's sitting behind Dr. Horn (wherever he is) Screenshot anyone??

Seriously? I would push people off that bench to sit by Dr. Horn.

 

[Mrs G Norris]

He's not all that far from finishing, it should only take him an hour or so to go through the options...

 

[Softail]

Sudden quarrel or heat of passion.

 

[Tipstaff]

All Juan has to do when he gets his last crack at closing is to show Jodi saying she took the gas cans back to the same store.
Show the pictures with the dog where her hair is quite blond, then show the picture from the heilo phone where her hair is way darker.
The gun was loaded, the gun was not loaded, the gun was in a holster, the gun was not in a holster etc.
Those are her own words.
Numri must think the jurors don't remember anything.
Maybe Jodi wrote his closing arguments for him--cue the attempts at fake crying, boo hooo boo hooo

Now that you mention it KN's closing sound a lot like the filings to the court when JA was acting as her own attorney! Laugh of the day for me - tx.:floorlaugh:

 

[SyraKelly]

man & heat of passion..says we have seen this in this case

 

[Hope4More]

nurmi... and if you do not believe what we have said for 4 months, hey! we have other options for you! how about 2nd degree? or, better yet, how about manslaughter?
