Jodi Arias TAKES THE STAND FOR 8TH DAY #44 *may contain graphic and adult content*

[Lupie43]

I dont believe so. He should be himself. He is not cross examining Mother Teresa but a cold blooded and cold hearted murderer. He should treat her like what she is.

No way should he treat her a different way than he treats all other defendants that gets up on the stand and lies their arse off.

He is no novice. He has been doing this since the 1970s. He knows his community.

I hope he comes out blasting her.

And I think the jury will be expecting him to do just that and not the coddling that Nurmi has been doing that has been the most boring testimony I have ever seen in my life.

Like Beth said when Juan stands up to question the jury is riveted and he takes command of that courtroom. He has the truth and the evidence on his side and he needs to shove it in her face.

Enough of the mealy mouth questions like Nurmi does that has pratically put the jury in a coma.

IMO

You go girl...I'm in your corner...bring it Juan!

 

[seguek9]

There's talk on twitter that a juror maybe dismissed?

Oh no.....

 

[BritsKate]

That was crazy!!! Even Nurmi seemed to be taken back by it. Trying to fix it by saying.. why would you say you confessed when he attacked you? Or whatever he said. Lol :floorlaugh:

The one thing I walk away from direct with is this: Nurmi has apparently done little research on effective questioning of psychopathic defendants and tailoring questions specifically to their disorder. Which is brilliant for our Juanderful prosecutor.

There were many times he was forced to compose himself and 'cover' her testimony; lead her to answers that would be consistent for her defense; allowed her to unwittingly undermine her defense; allowed far too much lenience in narrative, etc. Too many for me to believe he's done anything in way of psychological preparation.

Did anyone else catch that not 5 minutes into JA's testimony that she was talking about how she and Travis had broken up, and she HAD TO have her social security card for a new job? And it was conveniently at TA's house. BUT the door's are locked and she saw 2 people making out and went in (maybe the doggie door)! That clearly, to me at least is evidence of her STALKING TA. I mean who needs their ACTUAL ss cardfor anything? That is BS.

How many times did she purposely forget things at Travis's? Just an excuse for her to keep coming back without being invited! Just show up unannounced!

IMO Jodi is going to crack bigtime under Juan's Cross, and I think he should hit her hard straight out of the shute too. Why waste any more of the jurors time? They will thank him for it IMO. Jodi may well "confess" once again and beg for the needle (as she said in her interview) because she simply cannot keep all of the lies she told on Direct straight. She couldn't even keep the lies she told on Direct to her own attny straight for pete's sake. Stick a fork in her, she's done!

I do expect the defense to try a medic day at least once, if not the 1st day, then the 2nd for sure.

 

[alwaysonmymind]

I don't think believe the 'story' of the jail guard encouraging her to do the interview is an issue here. At all. :twocents:

She's an admitted lying liar who lies.

 

[Coldpizza]

I wonder if JA's advocate has to be death penalty qualified?

 

[Ammonitida]

He lunged at her... Yet he was lower than her when shot and he head was atleast two feet away from the muzzle.

Two feet is a pretty short distance though and we're talking about a 25 calibre here. I'd imagine that stippling may not appear at even 18 inches away with a small gun like that.

 

[bobloblaw]

OT...

Is anyone else having Twitter issues? My display has gone goofy, I wonder if its just my computer, everything else works fine... Thanks

 

[Lorelilly]

If Jodi doesn't remember or answer questions about stabbing, does that mean Juan can't ask about it?

Juan can ask her whatever his heart desires since she admitted she did it. It may be hell for Travis' family, but Juan should put up every single horrific picture of Travis' wounds and ask her one by one, "Do you remember stabbing Travis here?" I didn't think I could despise Jodi more then I did yesterday... but I DO!

If she confessed in the Spring, why did it take until Oct 26 2010 for her team to bring a self defense claim to the court?

I also like how an accidental gunshot just manages to hit his head. One would think an accidental target would be the torso with its much greater mass.

BBM ... and at the wrong angle :waitasec:

In anticipation of a PTSD expert being called by the defense to defend dear JA, I'm compelled to say this- Of all the people I've worked with who experienced blackouts or memory loss to traumatic events, it has been traumatic events that happened to them that the mind protects them from, not trauma they inflicted on others. It's also been my experience that with PTSD, people can't get the trauma they've witnessed, caused or experienced out of their minds causing them to relive the trauma daily. They wish it could be blacked out so they can experience a moments peace.
Had to get that off my mind before I blow a gasket over this defense.

Were they caught falling asleep?

Jodi's description is that Travis was coming towards her from directly in front of her. She fired the gun with Travis headed straight towards her.

Jodi failed to lie about the bullet flying up in the air, curving around Travis' head, and traveling downward ending in his left cheek.

715 peeps on here!!!

Lets all go post on TruTv. tell them we are going to be out of there!!!:great::rocker: :seeya:

Yes, yes, yes and YES.


As you said he will treat her like every other defendant who takes the stand. He's not going to play into the defense's fictional tale of JA as a wilting flower and treat her as such. He's not a prop in JA's play.

It's time to snap out of JA-fantasy land and Juan will bring everyone back tomorrow morning in the first question.

Hate to say it, but maybe he knows she's guilty (as the rest of us do), & while he's trying present a defense, it's like Sisyphus pushing up that rock....would you want JA as a client?

lol....remember, "Leroy!! You give me those shoes!!"....lesson here. Using a wooden spoon to beat a daughter or not makes NO difference. Rhoda and Jodi are 2 perfect examples. And Casey A. All bad, horrible seeds! :furious:

 

[JusticeJunkie]

Flores mentioned to JA that he (Flores) thought given the scene of the crime there could have been 2 people involved... and Voila...
JA's magical carpet ride with the Ninja story comes to Life!!

He also mentions in that first interview with Jodi that Travis was stabbed many times, and shot.
I believe his wording was "more than I want to remember" when asked how many times Travis was stabbed.
It's the NEXT day she comes up with the ninja story.
