evidence about Jodi. Travis can't testify and a lot of "character" evidence would be excluded because the justice system usually finds that it's probative value is outweighed by it's prejudicial effect and we simply cannot have anyone knowing anything BAD about the poor defendant.
I did hear some lawyer TH's discuss how much Jodi's character has been put into evidence by the defense and this whether this opens the door for JM to bring some of it in. That would be excellent.
I always have such a hard time with how we exclude truthful evidence because it makes the defendant look bad. But never more so than in this case where we are forced to listen to this psychopath happily attempt to destroy the image and memory of the man she murdered.

I am so so curious to find out what she did for Travis to say he had never been so hurt by anyone in his life. I am surprised we don't know at this point in the trial.
