It's her stubborn, unwavering pretension that I find most grating.

She's penniless, but not sure if (nearly indiscernible sniff) Kohl's would have a "suitable" dress.

It was a SALES CONVENTION, not the Royal Wedding!
 
:Banane02: Entertaining myself with dancing purple banana because this is B-O-R-I-N-G.
 
Who cares whose dress she borrowed!!! Is Nurmi looking for fashion tips???

well he certainly needs them. He could take a lesson from Travis' brother in how to dress.

Just a few things:

1. I have never before seen a witness direct her comments so consistently towards the jury. I'm certain that this is Jodi playing strictly by the self-improvement book. (I wouldn't be surprised if she fixes her eyes on one older female juror.)

2. The way that she presents her getting in touch with Pre-Paid Legal is so typical of her magical thinking: She ignored the flyer, but after chancing upon it, couldn't throw it; feeling compelled to find out more. It's almost cinematic; Jodi is enthralled with destiny, the Law of Attraction.
 
I think JM just banged his head against the table... hard. Who can blame him??
 
What a KLASSY broad ~ a zillion places to shop on the strip and she picks Kohl's.

I really like Kohl's. I'm not materialistic at all and just like what I like even when I have have lots of cash :)

I know it's fun to bash JA, but I thought I'd remind folks that she has no monopoly on every single thing she does! :D Thank God for that, too.
 
How would she know that it was still light outside if she was inside the casino? There are no windows in any casinos. Nor clocks. She's adding unnecessary details that are going to come back to bite her. I'm guessing many folks on the jury have been to the MGM as well.
 
TA was walking thru the casino area and he walked with purpose so I stepped out of his way and he stopped and shook my hand . . .he knew other people there as he had met them before - they were part of his upline . . .



On Wed night Sept 2006 . . . Michelle, LeNor, JA and her Mother were with them @ Rain Forest cafe . . stayed in Lobby area - paying the check - tons of people everywhere - I am staying close to Michelle - meeting other people on my team - introduces me to people in my upline . .. .

He stopped right in front of me and stuck his hand out and introduced himself - shook his hand - tried to log the name because there lots of people meeting that weekend . . .wander around the casino . .

Mr. Alexander was not part of the group you had @ dinner . . No he was not


.. . . .

ran around town . . . went to a store and grabbed a few things and nothing was working out - I was in the dressing room @ Kohls he had my cell number. . . .Objection


Did you end up obtaining a dress . . . yes his friend had an extra dress and she heard about me and said I could wear that dress . . .

find it strange TA asking you to this . .

I didn't think of it was strange - whole week was kinda strange - just going with the flow . . .

How did you obtain the dress and how did it happen?
After I realized there was a dress @ the hotel - traffic was slow - made it back to MGM Grand - TA met me and Michelle and we walked where banquet was being held in the ballroom . . . .

His friend's wife allow me to borrow . . . I had met her (?) . . . hadn't met Chrisy's husband . .

It was nice . . . I was somewhat accostumed to that level of dining but I was the server not the guest . . . table service and how the courses went I knew but what I was impressed with how many people were there that made money it wasn't a "get rich quick scheme that is not what it was . it was legitimate business. . . . it was very *(intoxicating) . . . .TA also challenged me to say every time I take someone to the . . .

Objection
Approach!

Jodi then went on the PPL website and submitted her information and a person from PPL named Michelle called her. March 2006.

--Didn't look forward to going to the convention but thought that she should give it a shot.
--Upon arrival in Vegas there was a swarm of people everywhere checking in. Convention of 12,000 people from all different walks of life. Not everyone stays at the MGM but they stay in Vegas.

--After wandering around they went to the lobby and took pictures there with some people. Jodi noticed that she had ignored everybody else in the group as she had been talking to Travis.
--Doesn't remember how her and Travis parted but she went back to the hotel room. Michelle thought Travis liked Jodi.
--When at dinner at Applebees Michelle's phone rang and she said that it was Travis wanting to know if Jodi wanted to go to the executive director banquet with him.
--The banquet is an upscale event. Formal attire.
--Jodi turned him down because she didn't want to go as she didn't have the attire. The banquet started in less than an hour and she did not have enough time to get a dress and get across town.
--Jodi did attend the banquet. Michelle said it would be a very good experience, there were a lot of executives to meet. Thought it would be a good opportunity. Not everybody gets the opportunity.
--Ran around town, went to Kohls and tried a few things on. Called Travis and told him that she was going to find a dress. Did not find a dress at Kohls. Got a dress from Travis' friend who had packed an extra dress.
--Did you find it strange that Travis was asking you to this banquet? She didn't really find it strange, she was just going with the flow.
--Went back to MGM. Got changed. Met Travis and walked to the ballroom together.
--Borrowed a dress from Travis' friend's wife Sky Hughes.
--Had not met the Hughes before.
--Banquet was nice, familiar with table etiquite and her eyes were opened to the success of the people at the banquet. The business was legitimate, not a get rich quick scheme.
--The success of others made a big impression on her.
