I wish the rule/law was such that once JA is found to be guilty of first-degree murder she is ordered to sit on a chair and allow Travis' family to throw rotten eggs at her.
From "Chicago" the musical--I just substituted Jodi for Velma and Nurmi for Billy:
"When Jodi Takes The Stand"
Jodi:
Nurmi, I been thinkin' a lot about my trial. Couldn't I just
show you what I thought I might do on the witness stand?
Nurmi:
Go ahead.
Jodi:
Good! Hit it!
Well then, when I got on the stand I thought I'd take a peek
at the jury. Then I'd cross my legs like this, you know.
Quartette:
When Jodi takes the stand
Jodi:
Then, when Martinez cross examines me, I thought I'd give 'em
this...and then if he yells at me I thought I'd tremble like
this..."ooh, no, please stop!"
Quartette:
When Jodi takes the stand
Look at little Jodi
See her give 'em hell
When she turns it on
Ain't she doin' grand?
She's got 'em eating out of the palm of her hand!
Jodi:
Then, I thought I'd let it all be too much for me, like real
dramatic. Then, I thought I'd get real hungry and say, "Please,
someone, could I have a boxed lunch provided to me by the jail?"
Quartette::
When Jodi takes the stand
See that Arias girl
Make that jury whirl
When she turns it on
She's gonna get 'em goin'
'Till she's got 'em gone
Jodi:
Ah! Ah! Ah! Then, I thought I'd cry. Buckets. Only I don't
have handkerchief - that's when I have to ask you for yours!
I really like that part. Don't you? Then, I get up and try to
walk; oh, but I'm too weak, and I slump and I slump and I
slump and I slump until finally, I faint!
Quartette:
When she rolls her eyes
Watch her take the prize
When Jodi takes the stand!
When Jodi takes the stand!
What penalties would one incur for jumping the divider and bee-lining right to JA for a good old a$$ whopping?
I imagine the bailiffs are usually sleeping during this testimony and would be late responders.
Serious question. Travis's brother might very well be weighing his options here. Jump the fence and smash this psycho's face in. I can't say that I would be as controlled as the family has been throughout this mockery.
I stated that on cross. Why didn't JM mention it??
You're very kind, thank you. She doesn't need to call them by their first names to feel powerful. She feels superior all on her own...she's likely to call them by their names for different reasons I believe.BritKate
You are a fountain of knowledge helping me to understand her behavior...
What is her purpose calling the DT and JM by there 1st names...
Does it make her feel more powerful?
Thank you
:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh: Add RIPE tomatoes and watermellon to those eggs for the blood of Travis that she spilled and I'm all in!!!
I think her original plan was to take the body with her in the Rental Car, wrapped in Sheets. And use some of the gas in the cans to burn everything, including Travis in the Desert.
Small problem about the mess and how hard it actually was to move a dead body caused her to go with Plan B. In Shower, run like he**

If she didn't buy gas to put in the third can, it was a kerosene can so did she get kerosene? Did she get kerosene to burn the evidence in the desert? jmo
How does the fact that she could have stolen a gun from anyone prove that she didn't steal a gun from her grandparents with whom she was living? :banghead:

Fixed that for you....
Did Jodi really call the prosecutor Juan?
I was just thinking this morning how disrespectful Jodi comes across. I always prepare my clients in advance of their testimony with a few pointers that should always be followed:
Always address the judge as "yes ma'am or yes sir"
Always refer to opposing counsel as Mr. Or Ms. _______
Always address counsel (including opposing counsel) with "yes ma'am" or "yes sir"
Do not interrupt the judge or either attorney
Do not ever argue with the opposing counsel
Do not react with facial expressions, sighs, eyerolls, no matter what
Never use sarcasm
Do not try to couch your answers based on where you guess the opposing counsel is leading you - answer truthfully and wait for redirect to explain your side
Jodi does NONE of these things. Have her lawyers not counseled her on proper decorum?
