How did it go today? What were the key moments or key things to know that happened with jurors or with the testimony or with media weighing in? TIA to anyone who can answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I missed the morning, but after lunch it was all about sex, sex and more sex. The DT played the recorded 'phone sex' audio again, only this time it was highly (and prejudicially imv) edited - snippets of Travis' words only. They added captioning in huge letters to bring the point home. I think the attempt was to instil the idea that Travis was 'deviant' or perverted, when in fact it was just pretty average sex talk. The way they spliced it seemed like really dirty pool to me, but the judge allowed.
The DT also went over some of JA's journals, including (wait for it) pages that were ripped out (don't exist), and had JA describe what was on the missing pages. I KNOW...
Everyone perked up when JM did a quick yet amazing voire dire over new diary/journal evidence.
JA went on about the Law of Attraction, and even mentioned TWICE that "she wouldn't want to jeopardize Travis' life," by writing about his deviant behaviour in her journal. Yeah, she went there... soon after that I pulled my earbuds out for a little while (but I faintly heard about something vibrating... dunno).
I just got increasingly bored, disgusted - little if anything has already been gone over in direct., so you really didn't miss much, frankly.
There was a little more diary reading (a tearful JA reading an entry about suicide - gag me with a stick. /sorry/). I do not know and want to find out how much of this diary was written after she killed Travis.
I will almost guarantee the THs will be all agog over the DT having a 'win' today. But they'll talk about sex, sex, sex a lot more.
Jean Cesarez (sp) said that she thought the revised, edited tape was extremely effective and painted Travis as a very BAD person (paraphrasing but that's about it). I don't know how her brain works or processes info, but it's foreign to me and mine.
Hope that helps!
