:seeya: Hi there, fellow Texans! I am near Bonham, Tx. about 60 miles north of Dallas very near the Ok. border. Love it here. Very rural area but close enough to the city that I can go anytime! Any more N. Texans here?

North Texan here ...

That terminology is so weird.....I know my mom said in the 50's that term was used but I have never heard that growing up in the 80s

I remember constant late night tv ads for those types of "singles" chat lines that were literally called "the party line." It was like the skeevy alternative to match.com. I always assumed that it was a way to have phone sex while calling it something else. All the girls in the ads were bleach blonds with boob jobs wearing next to nothing.

Did she ever clarify if this person was a relative or not?

She just said it was coincidental that his last name was Arias.

Now late night ads are ear wax suckers and butt cushions!

I almost miss Girls Gone Wild.

I bet we hear that word "coincidental" a lot from her during her cross examination. Mmmmhmmm

Here is a fascinating tidbit I found researching Andriano's case (yes I am still looking for trial videos even though I am sure there are NOT any....but for some reason I keep looking :crazy
From this link http://caselaw.findlaw.com/az-supreme-court/1015530.html about the Andriano case I found this passage:
"¶ 43 We have held that “the death penalty should not be imposed in every capital murder case but, rather, it should be reserved for cases in which either the manner of the commission of the offense or the background of the defendant places the crime ‘above the norm of first-degree murders.’ ”   State v. Carlson, 202 Ariz. 570, 582, ¶ 45, 48 P.3d 1180, 1192 (2002) (quoting State v. Hoskins, 199 Ariz. 127, 163, ¶ 169, 14 P.3d 997, 1033 (2000)).   Such an instruction does not require the jury to engage in proportionality review.   Instead, the jurors must assess whether the murder was so cruel that it rose above the norm of first degree murders.   To assist them in this inquiry, the judge instructed the jurors on the definition of “cruelty,” explaining how to determine whether “the circumstances of the murder raise it above the norm of other first degree murders.”   Considering the instructions as a whole, the jury was properly instructed to apply the definition of “cruelty,” rather than to engage in proportionality review.   The trial court did not err, fundamentally or otherwise, in giving the instruction."

The Andriano case is rather similar for many reasons-horrific overkill, self-defense claim, same county and prosecutor, psychopathic/sociopathic female-and I am thinking (hoping) that IMO the jury will be given something similar to the above with regards to the instructions.

I searched high and low for footage from the Andriano case to see Juan in action from then.....I guess it wasn't videotaped.

This isn't of the trial, but an "after the verdict" segment of Snapped.

For the "Juanettes" here, he speaks a bit about the case.

Thanks!
Just started watching it now!

I'm only 7 minutes in and already creeped out!! Seeing many similarities with her & JA!

Funny, whenever I think of Jersey I picture dark-haired girls. Probably 'cause 98% of the population of the town I grew up in was Sicilian. I also think of lasagna

eta: oh, and pizza...really, really, really good pizza. If I ever butcher my boyfriend I will definitely request a pizza flown in from Jersey for my last meal!

Speaking of commercials, wouldn't it be so awesome if JA was suddenly stricken with "PseudoBulbar Affect"? and couldn't control laughing or crying ? I'd never heard of this diagnosis but they keep educating me again and again and again. Is this enough of a thing that it deserved it's own commercial? I guess so!

 

[ILikeToBendPages]

get a shelter/rescued dog. They are like babies but better... MOO

We have two jack russel that are turning eight also and a cat...we lost our whatsuplittlepup last June and polly/paulie our quaker parakeet died four days later. I love them all.but I need a baby.

 

[Curious Me]

This week I've been having visions of the movie the Devil's Advocate and seeing JA's face morph in to one of those demons...you know the ones.

Love that movie!

As a non-expert in the field, I think she is a straight-up borderline personality disordered individual -- she is the very definition of BPD. And there are a lot of BPD symptoms that overlap with other personality disorders.

Likely true that she won't kill again unless she fears abandonment/loss of love object. Most of her whacky behaviors are related to her intense feelings of being betrayed by someone who is supposed to love her.

But any "future dangerousness" expert will have to point out that Jodi will perpetually be pursuing love attachments -- and will perpetually fail. Such expert would also likely opine that personality disorders like this are pervasive and life-long with little hope of improvement in someone lacking insight and lacking motivation to change (and Jodi lacks both of those things).

I'm looking forward to the psych testimony.

BBM: I've been saying she's a BPD right from the get-go; however I do respect my friends here that say she's a psychopath. Hopefully, the Psychologist will shed some light on this. Either diagnosis still makes her fit to stand trial.

LOL. I just saw this commercial for the first time today and thought, "Is this so common that they need a commercial?"
