By her own account, she changed her story to fit the evidence found - as she understood it. I think that's why the defense fought so strongly to have the death penalty dropped when it was brought out at trial that the shot was very likely last, not first. She based her story on that information, even though it was not correct.
She continues to evolve the story to fit the evidence, as we saw yesterday:
=JM brings up her journal, and lo and behold! - missing journal pages are found- and just happen to be ones that she needed, what are the chances?
=She has multiple finger injury stories, and Viola! - pictures of a right hand appear (even though her left hand print and her blood was mixed with the victim's).
-She recorded a sex call, says she had permission to record, was forced to play it in it's entirety - but it's essential to defense that the Jodi-edit version be played on re-direct -along with Jodi-captions (many of the words were difficult to hear, almost unintelligible - but she knows what was meant, and can interpret - and capitalize).
=She was afraid of the victim to the point of quivering, but moved to his town when they weren't even 'courting', borrowed money, cars, and kept her personal belongings with him - but felt safe to pop in, let herself in any time, even took an impromptu trip thousands of miles away to 'drop in' . Who'd expect that?
-She told police, (and everyone else) that Travis didn't have a gun....but knew he had a gun, exactly where he kept it, that it would not have been moved in over a year, was loaded, and how the safety worked.
- and - Eureka! Her Grandpa had just that type of weapon stolen (along with $30 and a dvd player - but not his many the other weapons)! Crafty thieves!
-She had to go back to Daryl's to drop off a dvd remote that he had left in her car- for some inexplicable reason, that she didn't remember until JM mentioned she returned to Daryl's..... Because, you know, he carries a dvd remote around, and in her car!
-She felt comfortable enough be tied up by this scary, violent person knowing he had a loaded gun in the closet - not to mention the knife nearby while she was 'tied up'... (because it was probably much easier to use a big kitchen knife to cut the yards decorator rope he kept on hand, to tie her up, even though he didn't know she'd be stopping by) Why would he use something like, oh....scissors?!
Really, an amazing set of circumstances. What are the odds?
None of the "new' evidence should have been allowed, the victim can't dispute what only Jodi says she saw and heard, and what conveniently speaks to her 'state of mind', not the 'truth of the matter'.
I only hope that the admission of this stuff allows JM to re-cross, and that she completely lost any juror with a remaining shred of doubt by implying they're stupid.
As a DV victim, myself - and as a woman in general - I find much of what she says offensive (and I was sympathetic initially, thought it plausible). The more she says, the less is believable.
