It was my impression he kept re rounding her to prior dates/ages/relationships/inane topics because he wanted to leave the jury for the night on associating her with anything BUT this horrible crime she committed. Once they start hearing about Travis and her lies, admitted and current, and her VIOLENCE all bets are off. This was his one shot in the entire trial to try and humanize her. He was stalling.
Very nobel work my friend, the world needs more people like you.

Sorry all - just have a quick question as I'm sneaking during my lunch hour - is court in session today? Live feeds are dark - hoping you all would know....
You are too funny! I'm just hoping I get to see some Martinez cross tomorrow. I think it will be the Jodi Show all week. There aren't many hours in a court day and she can fill them all up with her lengthy descriptions of ice cream and roller coasters.
I was just thinking about this...she really doesn't have any girlfriends. Normally when you have a "heartbreak"--you go chat with them--with her its ex-boyfriends or friends of boyfriends...not girls......goes with that theory I guess that she works better with men then women?
10:30 A.M. AZ time, 9:30 A.M. PST, 11:30 A.M. MST and 12:30 P.M. EST.
Lets face it, Juan will probably turn her into a prosecution witness like he did the others. :floorlaugh:
Yes, because she probably feels men are easier to manipulate. (I remember one of Travis's friends saying how the guys liked her immediately, but not so much for the girls in their circles.) Women probably see her for what she is, and Arias doesn't like that. MOO.
Linda--I respectfully disagree - look here:The part I caught of dr drew last night... He was dribbling about Travis sex addiction based on his childhood! I about lost it!
That's the type of dumba$$ comments that cause me to fast forward everyone I see his mouth moving.

Actually, I am an attorney who represents families who have adopted children with severe reactive attachment disorder, as well as other issues. I used to do intellectual property law, but switched after I adopted my fourth child who had moderate to severe reactive attachment disorder. It has become my passion after what we have gone through trying to help my daughter develop empathy and conscience and compassion.
I do serve as Guardian Ad Litem also. After my daughter's experience, it is so important to me that children get voice. So often, we ignore what happens early on and sometimes abuse 0-3, even neglect, can have more influence on later functioning than anything else.
Linda--I respectfully disagree - look here:
The beginnings of sexual addiction are usually rooted up in adolescence or childhood. It is found that 60% of sexual addicts were abused by someone in their childhood (Book, 1997,pp 52). The child may have grown up in a hostile, chaotic or neglectful home.....

Child abuse is a major contributor to sexual addiction in adults. Research has shown that a very high correlation exists between childhood abuse and sexual addiction in adulthood. 97% of sex addicts have been emotionally abused as a child, 83% have been sexually abused and 71% have been physically abused.

Lest we forget about the abuse Travis endured during his own childhood. I find it absolutely crushing that he survived his upbringing, prospered, and took his life a step forward to motivate and encourage others.
And after all of that he is violently murdered.
A crying shame....
I think it might also be a deliberate move to let the male attorney lead the testimony instead of the female one - as a subtle, psychological way of underlining that she can relate in a very rational way with men, even if the man in question is asking her very private questions.
I don't know if I can manage to find the right words to express what I want to say, but basically I think it could actually be a deliberate move to have him question JA, and not the female attorney.

That may be their goal but his interaction with her during the case so far shows he does not like her. It's obvious he does not want to be there and it's right there for the jury to see. jmo
