A few things occurred to me last night when I was thinking about yesterday's events.
1. CMJA was beyond pi$$ed about the victim impact statements. She sounded very angry to me and it was obvious she really wanted to speak as a rebuttal to what the Alexander family had to say. She can say she's non violent all she wants, but that's not true and I truly believe she was very close to losing it after hearing their statements. And it was obvious that she's impulsive, vengeful and and has a wicked temper.
2. Juan knew she was going to do something like that. I know some have speculated it was a trap by him to say things that would really get under her skin, and I have no idea if that's true. He has studied her actions for so long, I think he knows CMJA almost better than she knows herself. He knew she was going to have some sort of outburst or say something inappropriate - because he wanted to hear what she had to say first, before he made his statement. He knew the VI statements would anger her into not being able to control herself and say something she shouldn't and he wanted to use it against her in his statement. She thinks she's so special and smart, but she really is tedious and boring. SSDD. Nothing is ever her fault, someone else made her react that way - classic abusive behavior. She thought she hurt the Alexander's, but as usual, she hurt herself and she's too blind to realize it.
3. I think her family is secretly glad she's gone forever. And I predict very few of them will ever visit - and not because of money. I'm not excusing her family's behavior at all - especially her mother and her ridiculous statement from yesterday, but I have no doubt that she was an extremely difficult child to parent and they were relieved when she left and they are relieved now that they know they will never see her again.
4. Her mothers statement regarding the DT telling her she couldn't testify - what a joke!! It's obvious the reason she couldn't testify (as is the case with several others), because whatever she would have said is a complete lie and would be impeached by Juan - either by statements already given or others things he knew or would find out. Her testimony would open the door to a huge amount of material that would be devastating to the defense and they knew it. The DT knows Juan was just waiting for them to introduce something like that - he would be all over it.
5. I can't wait to read the sealed documents that will be released now that the trial is over. Anyone know when they will be released?
Agreed. After reading this, her statement full of lies finally made sense. Mom is more worried about her reputation and image than anything else. Her statement was really about restoring her good name and that of her family's; she wants the world to know she is the "#1 Mother' expressed in her statement necklace.
For a mother whose child was sentenced to natural life for a heinous murder, she looked amazingly composed and relaxed and happy after sentencing. And generally, she was also more than content to trash Travis and his family. The convict and her mom colluded- the convict, in her statement, scratched her mom's back (fam did not think it was abuse at the time but know better now, are redeemed) and she scratched the convict's back (she's a beautiful soul, abused by that ) so they all come out smelling like a rose. The apple did not fall far from the tree after all- it's all about presentation of image, and reputation. And in mom's mind it turned out to be a total 'win-win' situation. Nasty.
