PART 2
--Nurmi asks as we stand here today, have you forgiven yourself for not finding another way out of this situation you found yourself in on June 4th? Jodi says that if she had just left before it happened, she has a million regrets, she was scared of him and she reacted and she will always regret...Nurmi asks if she will regret not taking other measures....objection...sustained...Nurmi asks why do you believe now that you even had other options once it started? Jodi says maybe if she hadn't...when she grabbed the gun and fired it it only made him more angry, he became a volcano, he was already pissed off and he was raging after that. If she had handled the gun properly then maybe he wouldn't have gotten as angry as he did. Maybe he wouldn't have threatened to kill her. She has had those thoughts.
--Says she didn't know Travis got shot until Flores told her.
--In terms of her life, the plan she made, she called Det. Flores in an effort to act like she had nothing to hide. When she was living in Yreka was she putting up that same facade? Trying to act like everything was normal. When she talked to Dan Freemand and Bishop Leyton she felt like she had more freedom to let it out...her emotions....because it was known now.
--Nurmi asks about her emotions...apart from the initial outburt after talking to Bishop Leyton...did she have others? She says she did. Says usually every night. Nurmi asks why every night? Jodi says that at night she just lays there and think about stuff and usually that's when he would call me and that was when he was in a good mood. She knew that her phone wouldn't ring anymore.
--Nurmi asks her about once she had permission to openly grieve, she says she told her family that Travis had died but didn't tell them about her being there. Nurmi asks if she told them about the sexual things and about the violence. Jodi says she would never tell them. Reason was that whenever she said something negative about a guy they would hate him after. It's also really embarassing and shameful being in those situations. In order to understand why she wouldn't talk about anything negative it was a philosophy of hers called the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction, there was a movied and book called the Seacret. She had briefly studied it when she was 19-20 years old. Travis was into it. Anytime she would mention something negative he would get upset and tell her not to focus on those things. One time when they had that big fight she wrote about it in her journal and he found it...objection..sustained.
--Travis introduced her to the movie The Secret. What you put out there is what you get back. You're not supposed to speak about, write about, etc. negative things. Travis would assert that law from writing those things in her journal. Objection. Sustained.
--She never said anything negative about Travis to anyone except one time to Matt. Especially now. Didn't want anybody to know those aspects. Promised she wouldn't say anything about his other issues.....his sexual problems....and she definitely didn't want anybody to know about the level of violence in their relationship because it would be construed as motive to kill him.
--re: the day she was arrested. Nurmi asks her what she was doing on the day she was arrested. Jodi says that she was getting ready to move some things down to Monteray. Her Dad took her to the south end of town to get a car rental. Her Infinity was gone. She got a rental and came back, she still had some things of Matt's from 10 years prior, old books, she took a shower and then her grandmother told her that there was a police officer at the house.
--Nurmi asks her about the gun she bought, she says it was in the car.
--After her arrest...she thinks it was officer Potter who put the handcuffs on her...after she was arrested she spoke with Flores that day.
--At this point in time, the day she was arrested, she has had several phone conversations with Flores, and she had also gone to the Mesa, PD and had given her DNA and fingerprints, prior to the day of her arrest she had met Flores.
--When she was arrested and questioned, she was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Nurmi asks why she didn't tell him...why did she deny being there. She says she was ashamed, it's not the kind of person she was, it was shameful, she didn't want anyone to know she had anything to do with it, it was not her it was shameful, she was scared, she didn't want her family to know, she just couldn't bring herself to say she had done that.
--Says she didn't understand any of the prodecures, she had been told to deny everything, that's what an attorney had told her. She had never been interrogated by a police officer before.
--re: speaking with Flores the next day, she spoke to detective B??? then Flores. When she spoke to Flores on the second occasion she told him...she was confronted with evidence that she was there then she told him another lie. Nurmi asks her what she told him. Jodi says that she began to tell him things that would comport(word?) with what the forensics would should and would show a way for her not to be responsible for it. She tells him about a man and woman breaking into the bathroom...Why did she include the story of two intruders...it was because there were two people there that day. Jodi says that everyone was saying...Martinez objects...Judge asks them to approach.
