Why are TH's and other twitters saying it's boring and JM should stop, when Nurmi droned on and on about the poor abused JA???
At least JM is animated and has a pleasant voice and MOVES around instead of hanging on a podium.
JM has to "undo" all the lies and damage JA did to Travis with her absurd accusations.

Sorry....all IMO and hope I don't insult anyone.

I guess because they really are bored? This isn't for their benefit, though.:seeya:

 

[sdmike1974]

Some commentators on In Session and HLN have speculated that today might be the day when JM will finally focus on the day of the crime. I'm not so sure.

It just occurred to me that JM may save the cross-examination about the murder until tomorrow -- perhaps tomorrow afternoon.

This way the jurors will be left to ponder this testimony over the 3-day weekend. Otherwise the defense re-direct would have their opportunity to leave the last impression for the week.

Reminder: Beginning Monday we will all have to watch trial coverage online because this is the day In Session plans to only cover the trial for two hours.

 

[G&AMom]

She absolutely refuses to admit tht she exchanged the red car because she did not want the police to notice it. Unbelievable how conniving she is!!!

I think she didn't want the neighbors to notice it when she parked near Travis' house. She thought a white car would be less noticable, IMO.

 

[Weebles]

Someone please make sure Jodi gets her Happy Meal.

With extra special sauce to keep the afternoon migraine away

 

[perfectvirgo]

JM's asking her how many times she has been pulled over when driving ABOVE the speed limit but within the 10mph allowance. My guess is none, and bearing in mind she just admitted she usually drives WITHIN 10mph of the limit, that blew her reason for not wanting a red car out of the water. She didn't want to draw any attention, full stop.

 

[bexlex]

Am I crazy or is she FREAKING FLIRTING SMILING at JUAN?!

Seriously? Am I seeing things?

Can you imagine the letters she will be writing him from jail? Now JM will be the one that got away.....:what:

Sidebar -
Judge asks if the attorneys have anything to deal with -
Nurmi - not other than my objections
APPROACH

Sounds like Nurmi is a bit frustrated. To bad for him.

 

[JusticeJunkie]

Now we know why we couldn't find the entire interviews on line - Juan had a good hold on it - portions we haven't heard.
Lovin that he did that.

 

[thefragile7393]

Studies do show underdevelopment in certain parts of the psychopathic brain. However, you are right that many, if not most, of these people are non-violent.

Yeah she has something wrong, but she does know right from wrong in the legal stance. Meds wouldn't help her correct this deficiency. She just...is what she is and she chose a bad route.

 

[Schuby]

Red cars do get pulled over more, not because they are faster, but because the perception of police is that people who buy red cars tend to drive faster. This is also why insurance premiums are slightly higher on red vehicles.

 

[bobloblaw]

I hope he gets into the bank deposits and where that money came from. She admitted she only had a couple hundred dollars cash. Bank reciepts show $800 cash.

 

[RadarLuv]

I wonder what Jodi's having for lunch?

Probably looks a little something like this.

 

[anagrammy]

Am I crazy or is she FREAKING FLIRTING SMILING at JUAN?!

Seriously? Am I seeing things?

I SEE IT TOO! She is used to working men like a game console. She smiled coyly at him when she said she didn't mind the photo of the penis... and when she didn't mind that Travis was experienced at oral sex...

her eyes opened wider, she brightened. Then when the topic suddenly turned to June 4th and her version of events, there was a micro-wilting, a shoulder sag.

The fun was over and she would no longer get to play Amazing Sex Kitten.

Juan has handled her beautifully, imo. She went from her pose of being shy and offended at the word "penis" to acknowledging that she was the initiatior of the sex that Travis "forced" her to do (that she previously claimed she didn't enjoy rather just liked the attention).

No wonder the defense is in despair.

HLN has been showing as well.. maybe they will continue to do so.

 

[TigerBalm]

LOL .. his client just tanked his sexual abuse case.

:boohoo:

Cross examination of Jodi Arias by Juan Martinez, day four.

<missed 13 minutes>

--JM asks JA if her and TA talked about ending the phone sex. Exhibit 497. Sex tape exerpt. TA talking about taking a photo of him coming on her face and wants to take a photo mid shot. JA telling him how she thinks about sex with him everyday. <can't make out exactly what TA is saying> JA says if it's wrong she doesn't want to be right.
--JM says it appears that there appears to be a bit of a conflict because of the sexual activity whether it was by phone or in person.
--JM says it created conflict for TA because of the LDS faith and then reminds her that she is also LDS and it also created a conflict for her.
--JM says that you continued to engage in the sexual activity even though you had a conflict.
--Audio tape again...Exhibit 498. TA says that the pictures she takes are so hot. JA says what are we going to do with ourselves. It's weird. We're hornytoads. JM says that there is no indication she is offended by the sex that is going on. JA agrees.
--JM says that JA had a pet name for Travis. Exhibit 499. Text message from January 20th. "hey hottie biscottie" call me before you hit the sack.
--JM asks her if that is a term of endearment people use towards one another.
--JM says that Travis really wasn't special to you was he (paraphrased)
--Exhibit 287, message to Ryan Burns where she says "hey hottie-biscottie"
--JM says you used the same term for Ryan Burns and you only met him once. In terms of a one-on-one it was only one time you met and you are already calling him "hottie biscottie".
--Exhibit 286, tells us a little bit more of what happened when you went to see him. In the text, Ryan says that when they woke up she adjusted him. She pressed her body close to him. JM says that bottom line you are already involved the same give and take you were with Travis.
--re: stories she gave to Det. Flores and then another story to 48 hours. JA says that she thinks she was inconsistent with her lies. JM says lets take a look at what you said to 48 hours.
--Exhibit 500, 48 hours exerpt, JA says let me talk about this and nobody knows this, the detectives know this...boy this is really hard...there is a lot of evidence that places me at Travis' house the day...not just the day...the week and there is a reason for that...I did see Travis that day and I almost lost my life as well. I was told I can't speak about it because my family's life is in danger.. I was told that they would die and I would die. There was an argurment with two individuals, one said they wanted to take her life and the one said that that's not why we came. JA says she was on the ground on her knees and the guy held the gun to her head. The female ninja was standing by Travis in the bathroom. JA just remembers closing her eyes. JA says that the man pulled the trigger, there was a click...at that point she pushed past him and ran down the stairs. Could swear she could hear someone following her down the stairs and she got in her car and left.
--JM says that nowhere in that video did she ever tell anybody about her memory loss.
--JA says she couldn't get her story straight.
--Exhibit 501, 48 hours exerpt, JA says she was looking down and looking at some photos. TA was really critical of himself. Says she heard a loud pop and was hit on the back of her head. When she came to, TA was on all fours, one of his hands was on his head, on his knees and she looked over towards the entrance to the hallway, she ran into the closet to run out the other door but he (male ninja) stopped her and put a gun to her forehead. She stopped and squatted the the male left the room. The female ninja was in the bathroom. JA ran down the hall and pushed her. TA landed on by the sink and JA pulled him and kept saying c'mom lets go. TA was not really saying anything. she was able to get him halfway down the hall. The female was stomping on her feet and kicking her. The male came into the room. The male and female argued whether or not JA should die. He didn't want to and she did and she kept saying why they should and the male said that's not why we came here. Male went through her purse again and then pulled the trigger but nothng happened. At that point she ran, pushed right past him and ran down the stairs. JA was hyperventilating, her hear was racing, she was trying not to stumble down the stairs so she got out as fast as could and slammed the door behind her and got into her car.
--JM says that this is yet another story and JA says that she couldn't get her lies straight.
--JM says she spoke to 48 hours about moving to Mesa. JM says that when she came out to Mesa she didn't have a plan and JA asks "you mean on June 4th?". JM says that when she left Yreka she didn't have any plans to go to Mesa. JA says that is correct. JM says lets take a look at what you told them (48 hours).
--Exhibit 502, 48 hours exerpt, JA says she goes by the wind when she goes on her road trips, says that on this last trip her plan was to go to Monteray...(missed some). Says that when she was in Pasedena that night she decided to go to Mesa. TA had found out about her road trip and TA told her to come to Mesa and visit him. JA says that when she was in Pasedena she called him and told her she was coming to Mesa. Told him not to wait up for her. She got to Mesa around 0400 and TA was watchign videos. Went to bed to sleep.
--JM asking about the videos TA was watching
--JM says that JA left Yreka on June 2, 2008 and made some preparations. Made a reservation to rent a car, not in Yreka, but some other place. JA says it was in Redding. JM says that she had to inconveniece somebody else to take her. It would have been much more convenient to rent a car in Yreka.
--JM asks JA how much money she took with her in cash. JA says $80-$200, she doesn't really remember. JM asks her if it could be $300. JA doesn't remember having that much. JM says that if she doesn't remember how much it must be $80-$200 as that is what she usually took.
--JM says that it would have been more convenient to rent the car in Yreka. JA says no. JM says that Yreka is a small town and it would have been more convenient to rent the car there. JM says that she had said that Yreka is a small town where everybody knows everybody elses business.
--JM asking her again about when she told them that Yreka was a small town and that is how her father found her in 1997-1998 when she was in her car in the parking lot.
--JM: In Yreka, if somebody does something they may meet up with somebody they know. JA says yet. JM: If you went to a car rental company in Yreka to rent the car somebody may have recognized you. JA says that she hadn't been living there very long.
--Yreka population is 7,000. She worked at one of the bars, Casa Ramos. The road trip was part of her vacation. JA says that it was partially vacation and partially a business trip. JM says that because it was a business trip she would save her receipts for income tax purposes.
--JM says that she paid attention to the receipts she got from the gas stations.
<live stream froze>
--JM says so you're in Yreka and you decide to rent a car in Redding. JA says it's south, thinks it is 99 miles, just under 2 hours away.
--JA was at the Redding airport around 0800. JA says she did not wait for it to open. There was a line. Says she can't remember if it was her brother's neighbor that drove her.
--JM asks if the person with her got out of the car. JA says she doesn't remember.
--JM says that she was given a car by Mr. Columbo, the car offered initially was a red car. JA had told us that the reason she didn't want a red car was the color that police officers focus on. JM says you did give a reason why you didn't want that car.
--JA says that she just heard that they get more tickets (red cars).
--JA says that on the freeways in California the people that give out tickets are not police but California Highway Patrol. JA says highway patrol are not police but law enforcement.
--JM asks her how she would describe her reluctance to rent a red car. JA says it was for financial reasons because she didn't want to get tickets that would cost her money.
--JA says that her thought is that drivers of red cars tend to drive faster and get more tickets. That's what she has been told.
--JM says that if she was doing the speed limit or 10 over then she wouldn't get a ticket.
--JM asks for her to give an example of when she was driving within 9 miles over the speed limit and got pulled over and got a ticket.

LUNCH RECESS

Judge asks if there was anything else and Nurmi says there is and the judge asks them to approach. Live feed is cut off.

God bless you. Seriosuly. I was hoping to see one of your posts so I could catch up!!!

is it wrong of me wanting JM to pick up his water picture and throw it at Jodi's head when she starts that BS? lol

Hee hee. I caught the last few minutes and saw jodi cross by JM as he was walking up to the judge and she was going back to her seat and I wished he could just sneak a foot out and trip her!!! I;m sorry, I couldn't help it!!!!

 

[BritsKate]

I'm very afraid someone on the the jury will. I think it only takes one to have a hung jury. I'm only sorry for her because she is a damaged person, probably from birth. There is something wrong with her brain. Still, she needs to be in jail for the rest of her life.

My personality disordered ex who is in my estimation also psychopathic lived a torturous existence as a child. He was beaten until bones were broken, had urinated sheets hung to dry without being cleaned to show his friends how childish he was, had Christmas gifts kept on a shelf where he could see them until the following August with promises he could have them if he behaved but he never did well enough. In August they were donated to the Salvation Army. He was forced to eat what was on his plate and once vomited IN his food. He was forced to eat that as well. He was removed from the home at age 13 but by that point the damage was done. It was 1976.

I have empathy for my ex...which admittedly is difficult to maintain at times. It's more consistent to say I have empathy for the little boy he was. The grown man who could not or would not heal from such horrendous treatment CHOSE to abuse others. He CHOSE to rape his teenage niece. He CHOSE to call his own children bastards when he was angry and state they too should be beaten from the moment they were toddlers. He CHOSE to pull a gun on me twice. He CHOSE to lie, steal, manipulate, abuse and actively seek the ruination of anyone who loved him.

He, for the most part, was successful. But he chose every single decision he made to hurt another human being in any capacity. As such my empathy, for my own sanity, must also end at the point it became his CHOICE to do those things.

Obviously wholeheartedly my so not nearly impartial opinion.

 

[grammieto5]

No, I don't think you're seeing things. Did you see the look she gave him when they stood for the lunch break? You're the second poster I've seen mention this and I just saw it with my own eyes. Gawd, I can't believe this creature.

I noticed that stare also, but she stares at everyone like that, I wonder if she has a hearing problem, and maybe she reads lips, she's just scary either way! I'm glad Juan Martinez is not falling for her evilness!

 

[seguek9]

I would really like to hear an interview with Mike after this is all over. If he has been working in the courts for even half of his years I wonder how this one chalks up to other ones he has worked.

:great:
I want him to write a book!!! I'm so glad Juan didn't ask him to read back some of his questions today:blushing:
