Jodi Arias TAKES THE STAND #24 *may contain graphic and adult content*

I wasn't aware of their relationship either. But yikes, that Zion is handsome! Very very.

Is Zion the one that wanted to leave her in Mexico?? If so, he's not only handsome - he's intuitive!!

 

[laniefi]

They only get to ask questions after she has finished testifying. jmo

Thank you Lamb Chop that makes a big difference!

:tyou:

I thought he was too. Hot and snarky. I cracked up when he said he wished he left her in Mexico.

I'm still reeling from Nancy Grace saying *advertiser censored* :what: Nancy please say Oral Sex

over and over again....disturbing!

I was wondering do we know if Travis ever went to JA's house or town to visit her? I know that she traveled to see/stalk him.
Someone asked me and I dont remember hearing if he had.

Plans were made for June or July but never coalesced obviously - according to Jodi's statement.

AFAIK

Good morning, sleuthers! I am really looking forward to Jodi being done on direct and getting to Juan's turn questioning her. I am just dreading listening to her tell her dishonest version of what happened that day. I'm sure she will say he kept coming at her when she stabbed him, so she had to continue (although he must have been going after her backwards!). She will make the total brutality sound like self defense. And it will all be lies!! I feel so bad for Travis' family having to listen to all the lies and the way she makes Travis sound like the devient, when I'm sure she was the aggressor from the start. My thoughts and prayers are with Travis' family and friends (and all of us who have grown to care for them and also have to listen).

I hear ya, but this part of her testimony is the most critical and where Juan will dissect what she says into a million pieces. He knows that crime scene like the back of his hand. Anything she says which doesn't match the forensic facts will be thrown in her face. He'll crush her testimony. That's why I can't wait to hear her story. How will she tie these facts into a plausible scenario? I just can't envision...

 

[KMouse]

does anyone remember the part about her driving to some girl for a confrontation? I missed this part...also still feel I noticed a major flutter between jodi's atty's when she mentioned

cage fighting, ultimate challenge, no holds barred....

she said this with such....I don't know...satisfaction?....did anyone else catch this?

Yuuuup! I caught it.

When the "friend" of Travis' testified, Daniel Freeman, he said that they would get together for UFC parties. There was a question from the jury asking what a UFC party was.

I think a lot of emphasis has been put on UFC to make it sound like Travis was a brute for watching "no holds barred" fights. Meanwhile it is a multi-million dollar industry that millions of people watch on pay-per-view every month. *sigh*

I'll be at home this afternoon and will be able to watch the coverage on tv... anybody know if it'll be on DirecTV? If so, any idea what channel? I've only been watching online so far.

Im sure you all have seen this already but the word is that the sex tapes will be played today. If you have children who might happen to be in the same room, you may want to be aware of this.

I've been lurking on this thread for months now (I don't jump in really because I feel you guys are all so smart, I don't usually have anything of value to add....so I just sit back and try to soak in the wisdom. ) and watching the trial etc...and of COURSE they'll play those today and it'll probably be interesting because I have to go help my MIL for the day and won't be home! LOL. ARGH....hope someone posts it online later on youtube!!!

 

[nursebeeme]

Cross examination from prosecutors could begin as early as this afternoon. Prosecutors are expected to go after her as someone who methodically planned this murder, and question why if the crime was committed in self defense, Arias stabbed Alexander 26 times and shot him in the head.

(I doubt that but am now wondering if Jodi will not testify about the murder itself and only the relationship???)

 

[Jax49]

Yeah, I have to say she's pretty good at adding in those subtle yet no so subtle details. And she didn't develop that type of skill overnight. She's been working at this for a while, probably one way she weaseled her way into Travis' life in the first place. What's so bad is that she's being allowed to give her twisted version of events, and Travis doesn't have that same opportunity. Who's going to speak for him?

Juan Martinez.

 

[Nosey Parker]

Jodi never talks about friendships other than her relationships with men. I get the feeling that she didn't need girlfriends as long as she had a man in her life...

snipped for clarification

Very similar to CA in that regard - they both refer to women they have just met as 'friends'.

 

[Bravo]

The reason I ask about Scott Peterson is because I see him and Jodi as very similar for some reason. Just cool as a damn cucumber after committing murders of his beautiful, wonderful wife and baby.

Scott did not testify but he did do Interviews. I cant remember if it was 20/20 or 48 hours???? Anyone? Yes they sure are similar.

 

[DEPUTYDAWG]

Good morning all! I skimmed last nights posts...big hugs to Floater for having the courage to share her story. You are in good company here Floater. Please continue to post!

Like I said, I skimmed, so I apologize if this has been discussed. On my way home from work yesterday I was listening to Jodi's testimony about how she and Travis "hooked up" the first time. I call shenanigans on her "discomfort" with the "incident" on that Saturday night at the Hughes' and the Starbucks meeting a few days later. While she may be psychopathic, Cluster B, Axis II or whatever, I don't think she's devoid of all normal emotion and likely has a lot of the same feelings other people do when they meet someone new that is charming, handsome, funny, etc. What I think is that she and Darryl were likely at a point in their relationship where things were kind of stale. Jodi had the opportunity to go to her first PPL event and met a very charming Travis Alexander. Of course it is speculation on my part, but I have a feeling there were less than 4" between their lips during that elevator ride. Jodi fell for him, HARD. This was enough for her to justify breaking up with Darryl. She and Travis continued to have phone conversations until their next planned meet up (at the Hughes'). Jodi testified that she anticipated kissing/action or whatever. Of course she did! The relationship with Travis at that point was in the beginning stages. You know, that point where one is smitten, giddy, day-dreamy or what have you. Regardless of what happened that night, I do not buy her testimony that she was "uncomfortable". Furthermore, if you feel uncomfortable with someone who you have continued to talk to after an "incident" (ala Nurmi) such as that, you don't meet up with them a few days later and sneak off to find a place to get it on again. This to me sounds like a typical beginning to an adult relationship. Well, maybe a little "fast" for some, but I believe she was a more than willing participant.

BBM -

Yes! Thanks for pointing that basic detail out.

Haven't many/most of us had those bad dates or experiences where the other person came on too quickly or did something that bothered us, and in the early stages...that's when you go home and reflect on whether you're excited about seeing that person again, or almost dread that they'll call again. Come on!!!!

It is pathetic what she is doing. Pathetic. :banghead:

 

[Jaykayelle]

OK, I'd appreciate a link to something that shows Zion. I could use some eye candy.

[A_News_Junkie]

and trashing him while speaking of the oral sex..."He definitely knew what he was doing" meaning this wasn't his first time....

I saw your point (trashing him and making him look like he was not a virgin) but I also saw her recalling enjoyment of the thought of such an interaction - yet speaking as if it was horrible and she couldn't wait till it was over. Her micro-expressions were flipping faster than a pancake in panic anic: (I know bad analogy, but too tired to think of a good one! LOL)

 

[shelley921]

This is a serious question (I'm not being sarcastic)-

Can Juan rebut whatever the defense's psych "experts" say with an expert of his own? If so, can that expert testify in hypotheticals about Travis's childhood and what might have made him vulnerable to a controlling sexual predator? And further, how Travis the victim of actual abuse might have had difficulty in making his abuser go away and stay away?

or how a childhood like he had might even set him up to be ATTRACTED to "crazy"?

 

[KMouse]

We know the convention at the MGM happened. The other two "incidents" are just tales from Jodi.

Travis and Jodi didn't even date for very long and for part of that time they were living in different states. I don't think it really took him to long to figure out she wasn't marriage material.[/QUOTE]

BBM

I agree with your entire post but especially the part that I bolded.

She wasn't marriage material....IMO, only losers fall for women like Jodi....

Travis was not a loser.....and Jodi found out that those sex games/blow jobs don't work on every man. JMO

Thanks.

I think she had her hand on his crotch every chance she got.

I would sure like to know how much time they actually spent together while they were dating.
