I did a little reenactment of this. I put the camera on the floor with the timer on. I used a ball for the head and a dog toy for the foot.

The only way I could get my leg and foot in the same position, was for the camera to be ~2 feet directly behind me with me leaning forward with the top of my body over the ball/head. In other words, my leg wouldn't be straight like in the photo if I was tilted back in the least. I think her upper body was directly OVER Travis' head, having just cut him, or preparing to.

As for how the camera went off, it was upside down, and somehow it must have been bumped, pushing down the shutter button in the process.

Isn't it something! How the camera captured this shot! "Divine intervention" is what comes to mind - un freeken' believable! But yes...the photograph is there!
 
Here's the NG interview with TA's friend Jacob Mefford, who's describing an eerie feeling about Arias' fascination with the occult/witchcraft..Arias dated some dudefor a few years who was into the dark arts/occults

By the way, the long knife slashes -- 5 or 6 slashes -- were in a neat organized row across his back...Sounds like a spooky witchy woman to me


GRACE: Jacob, you went on the Cancun trip. You had socialized with Arias in the past. Take it from the beginning. When did you first meet her, and what was your impression?

MEFFORD: Well, back in the MySpace days, before Facebook, my wife had -- was friends with Travis and was kind of searching through some comments, and saw a comment by Jodi and immediately pulled up her profile on MySpace and was completely creeped out about what she saw.

There was a lot of, like, witchcraft things and just really creepy stuff that just...

GRACE: Oh, whoa. Wait, wait, wait...

MEFFORD: ... you wouldn`t see on an average...

GRACE: ... wait, wait, whoa. Didn`t know this. You`re going to have to run that by me again. Witchcraft? What? Was this when she was already dating Travis?

MEFFORD: Yes, apparently -- I didn`t know at the time that she had. They had just met in Vegas, maybe a month or a couple weeks before. But she had witchcraft listed on her MySpace. She had a bunch of different, you know, freaky things on her MySpace page. And my wife immediately...

GRACE: What other freaky things? Just curious.

MEFFORD: Well, for one, her profile picture was that one where she`s holding, you know, like, a Jack-o`-lantern or a candle under her face, and she`s, like, illuminated all spooky. You know this was her -- this was how she...

Travis won the trip to Cancun, +1, through PPL

I think she had it planned. Why the gas cans, the stolen gun, the slashed tires. She figured if she couldn't have him no one else could!! Kind of like someone else we know only she sacrified the life of a precious baby for her own selfish evilness. :furious:

I'm not sure about anyone else here who may have encountered a psychopath but the one I had the misfortune of knowing required very, very little sleep. And when he did want to sleep, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He also woke up immediately when his alarm went off. (Often without.) For years and years.

Mine was the opposite, though he too fell asleep quickly, he slept a great deal and had a very rigid sleep schedule. He was often at his most violent and unpredictable if he was woken unexpectedly.

You can only imagine with two then toddlers running amok and him working 3rd shift how well that worked out.

It has been referred to by Kirk Nurmi multiple times throughout JA's testimony.

When I say multiple, I mean at least a half-dozen or so by now.

Usually he's asking her if other men have referred to her that way, or something like "Was that the time Travis called you a..." or "Did you like it when Travis called you a...", or "How did it make you feel when Travis called you a..." etc.

Yes, that's all I've seen, those kind of references, but not the testimony where the evidence of the quote is given.

Mostly..."And let me ask you thhiiiss..." "How did that make you feel?"
(That's about 90% of what he's said so far.)

I want to believe part of Travis' legacy will be to help dispel certain myths of intimate partner violence. Too often, even with decades of research and countless crimes proving the contrary, people believe:

1) Women cannot be aggressive, violent, or physically abusive.
2) Abuse victims adhere (or should) to a certain set of behaviors that abuse, in and of itself, often preclude.
3) Women are incapable of physically over-powering men.
4) Women who are 'wronged' are justified in their controlling and/or stalking behaviors despite these being evidence of an abusive personality. Stalking is pure, unadulterated psychological abuse.
5) An abuser 'must' look, act or otherwise appear in a certain form.

I have been praying that these myths are exposed during my lifetime and eradicated but it continues and its the most heartbreaking thing to digest for me.

I truly believe in justice for all. I know men can go through all the pain, fear, and suffering due to being abused just like a female. They can be forced and coerced to do things they do not want to do just like female victims. They can and are overpowered. Around 660 men a year are murdered by a female in a relationship with them or during a break up.

I am not so blind that I believe such a stupid myth that they cant be abused. That is what is wrong with our society now and some wonder why some males are downright angry. Some even today still think a man cant be raped.:furious: I am not so arrogant that I only believe females can be abused. It isnt a one sided gender issue. I have educated myself to the FACTS for over a decade now since learning that one of our best male friends was horribly emotionally and physically abused by his petite wife for 20 years.

Also in 2011 my husband's coworker was murdered 2 days before he was to be divorced. His wife had emotionally and physically abused him during their 18 years of marriage. He got custody of the children and she shot him 7 times in the front yard when he was going to work and then had the gall to say he attacked her:furious: She is doing LWOP. Her own children testified that SHE was the abusive one to their father.

I have linked articles before during this case that shows it is a MYTH yet it is still believe by so many.

When women act dangerously in failed relationships society accepts that they will act out violently. How much longer are we going to buy into this myth?

I am hoping that Travis' case will shed light on domestic violence committed by females upon male victims. They deserve our support just as much as any woman who has suffered the same.

May Travis rest in peace now. I dont think he had any peace of mind when he knew at any given moment she could act out violently. Travis was caught in a no win situation. He appeased her until he just couldnt take it anymore due to her psychotic behavior then he made the fatal mistake like so many others before him by having the courage of telling her he didnt want her in his life anymore.:(

Re: Travis' financial problems. I haven't heard anything in the trial regarding this, just posters here. The only thing I could surmise (if it was true) would be that his PPL income would be variable since it's based solely on his commissions and those of his underlings (or whatever they're called). So some months we can presume it would be higher than others. I did read somewhere that he had refinanced his home and (I think) took a lot of cash out (I don't have a link), but that was pretty much the norm back then since it was so easy.

i agree, they seem to be hoping 1 juror will sympathize , much like betty broderick's 1st trial, which ended up hung jury, smearing the dead victim and feeling sorry for betty ,, however, i see no abuse in this case, so how could even 1 juror be swayed into feeling sorry for her?[/QUOTE]

I agree but did you see the guy that's supposedly just concerned because he had a sister that was abused and he's taking it upon himself to cheer her up by visiting her weekly. He doesn't know her from atom. He was on JVM or NG, but it takes only one.

I'm convinced she won't get death, but at least hoping for LWOP.

As far as I'm concerned she should have left him if she didn't like how he was treating her. PERIOD!! She's a murderer!!

Yeah, that guy strikes me as loser who has to resort to jails to find a gf. Moo

Over and over and over again until it feels like they were together for years and years and years. How many months "officially" (according to her)? 4-5 months and the rest just pit stops for sex; most likely days where she didn't have a place to "crash"! At the beginning of all this, I actually thought that they had lived together but even that hasn't panned out to be the truth. They never lived together! They were "dating" at best and probably never exclusively apart from what her delusional mind might have thought...

And..."how did that make you feeeel Jodi?"
