jodi Arias TAKES THE STAND FOR 9TH DAY #48 *may contain graphic and adult content*

[Observer in AZ]

The inmate will certainly loose sleep this weekend going over her testimony and get madder by the minute.

What a day, worth every minute of waiting to get to this.

Hey Jodi ! I'm going fishing this weekend on a beautiful lake with a man that loves me!

I may even go to Starbucks and have a strawberry whatever and hmmm maybe I'll get my hair done!

Stinks to be you, but I can only have empathy and sorrow for TA's family and friends. May they have a weekend of rest and fond memories to get them through the next week of your spewing of lies.

PS patiently waiting for Katie's view of today!

Don't forget you'll be writing with an INK PEN also

Do farsighted people need glasses to see to the other side of the courtroom?

near sighted people do.

This guy on JVM that is standing up for Jodi needs to be watched and evaluated.

 

[kscornfed]

I know the evidence against Jodi is so overwhelming that JM can probably barely contain himself. And I know there is a brilliant method to all this madness...

but....

he needs to keep in mind that he is presenting all this evidence to some jurors that probably aren't very sophisticated. I can easily see him losing some of the jurors today. I'm sure the jumping around was to keep JA on her toes, but at the end of the day you must make a clear, compelling and easy to understand case to those members of the jury.

He'll wrap it up with a bow in closing argument. If they don't get it now, they will then. I hope!

I felt a bit bad for Pepsi today - placed directly in front of Nurmi with his crazy eyewear fashion statement, as he was fumbling through magazine pages like a kid looking for naked pictures in a National Geographic magazine - poor product placement :/ but weirdly entertaining nonetheless...

 

[thistle]

Did he ask if it was hers? I missed that. You could tell by the way she kept trying to harp on the fact that they were out of her control from the time that she left her cell with them until the time the guards were meant to hand them over to Campbell that she was trying to formulate the "mean guards trying to set me up" lie, but I never heard JM ask her specifically if it was her handwriting so she never got the chance to try to offer up that BS.

MOO

I don't think she even tried to refute it, she was probably too busy trying to figure out her next lies & coverup...

I would like to, most respectfully, state my opinion - and base it off of the years that I have sat in a courtroom (in my years as a legal research paralegal and Assistant State's Attorney in Cook County) and throughout those years, I have watched hundreds of various courtroom doings: Trials, motion hearings, etc.

I have watched many experienced, proficient, detailed attorneys - and, conversely, I've watched bumbling, mentally stumbling, weak attorneys, as well. (Including Jim Glasgow, who had the pleasure of nailing Drew Peterson to a cross.) I process my research, I run for papers, I offer reports and details.

And...I watch.

Throughout all these years, I've learned quite a thing or two about rushing to judgment. I have learned to wait, and see: To watch, and learn. I've been literally schooled in the art of cross-examination by some of the best, in my opinion - and I learned all this by RUSHING to judgment, by dismissing out-of-hand the possibility that the attorney who was, seemingly, disjointed...really had a plan. That he or she really knew what they were doing.

I've been wrong. But I learned my lesson.

So now, I watch. I reserve judgment.

But I do have a sneaking suspicion that Juan isn't nearly done. That this IS going according to his layout, his plan - and that we will see that play out before he is done.

JMO and all that.

You should definitely get verified so you can post as an expert! We just love our experts here at Websleuths!

i'm sorry......drawing a blank here.......DB?

Darrel Brewer - her ex boyfriend of four years before she moved up to Travis.

Heard he was in court today?

 

[bobloblaw]

Could a psychologist claim that she has PTSD from the trauma she incurred as a result of her abuse by everyone under the sun? And that the PTSD has scued her ability to recall events? Just wondering. TIA

I'm wondering if she can claim PTSD after cross examination. :floorlaugh:

I have a question about the knife JA used to kill TA. I know nothing about what the knife is supposed to look like, does anyone else?

Reason I ask is, last night on Dr. Drew, I know I don't like him or his show, but it was on and I managed to missed this part. Some Doctor, I guess, was talking about the knife and then I saw this knife he was holding. It was huge, so I'm wondering if that was the size of the knife used, according to the size of the wounds. That got me thinking about the knife she says they supposedly used for the rope in the bedroom and bathroom, according to JA. I doubt any of her testimony concerning that was even real, but according to her, she did not bring the knife to TA's house, but it was in his bedroom. IF that size of knife is what killed TA, why in the world would he have a knife THAT big in his bedroom (especially with JA around, he was already more than suspicious of her motives, actions, everything)? I even doubt he would have a small knife in his bedroom, especially to cut rope.

Wouldn't they have used scissors? A knife in the bedroom, especially that large just doesn't make sense to me. Has there been any discussion about this or does anyone have a comment? I'd just like to hear what others think? Thank you.

The defense of course knew about the magazines but it doesn't appear that they appreciated the importance of them given the timeline, et cetera.

Exactly, Morning Glory...and, the same goes for the journals. They were aware of them also but did not go over them word for word and compare dates, etc.
I do not think they were prepared for the fine details that JM used to impeach her.

Perhaps Jodi's defense would have been better served if her team had spent more time on the fine print instead of eliciting and allowing her to drone on day after day with her brazen and bold lies.

moo

You need to tell all the talking heads that will be runni g their mouths tonight. Please start with JVM!

Thanks to all of you for tying all this together for me, and figuring stuff out. I just kept looking at the TV, computer and saying "Wow" when hearing all this. I did not fully grasp the significance of everything and thankfully had you all to explain it in a way we could all understand.

Oh, he'll tie this up (no pun intended). He's been doing this for decades. I am sure he knows how to communicate with jurors better than folks on twitter or armchair lawyers.

So much for monogamy if it's defined by Jodi.

She already had plans for a sexual encounter with Ryan before the trip, then she goes to see Travis and has sex, but just because Travis ends up dead then what she does with Ryan wasn't cheating.

It's complicated, but basically Jodi can have all the men friends she wants, but Travis was a cheater. Lots of Jodi's double-standards were revealed today in undercurrents. Juan did great!

 

[RR0004]

I wish the PT could call an expert on "sociopaths". If JA can have a DV expert get up and testify to all of the characteristics of being abused, the prosecution should be able to refute that with their own expert.
Just my 2 cents.

Patience, Juan will pull it all together in the end.

IMO Jodi had a favorite very sturdy knife... The one she used for all the tire slashing! No knife collected from Travis's home matched the wounds inflicted on his body. The ME checked and testified.

On her way.... If I say I'm on my way to the store, my intent is to arrive at the store. It's shows purpose and intent.

On her way to kill ... Implies that's the purpose of the trip. That's the states stance. The defense claims she didn't even intend to visit Travis, let alone kill him.

Good catch.

How's your eye? Hopefully watching Juan healed it somewhat.
