Question. And apologies in advance, I know I'm beating a dead horse. I'm still unsure whether she used the knife or the gun first.
If the gun wasn't used first, say because she preferred the knife,
why would she stage a robbery to obtain the gun?
I'm thinking (thanks to you all) that either:
A) the gun was just for her protection, a back up if you will
B) the gun jammed
C) she had the ninja scenario in her head to use if need be, thus two murder weapons had to be present.
Because she staged the robbery, Jodi
intended to use the gun to murder Travis not the knife, at least originally IMO.
Back to the gun. I've read the .25 caliber weapons easily jam, but I'm not sure how accurate this is.
Does anyone know what happens when a gun jams? Specifically, does it make a lot of noise? Is it possible that perhaps she tested the gun in the desert somewhere en route to Travis' and it jammed? Thus, the knife plan B?
I found this video on how to clearing jammed guns.

I know its not the same type of gun, but if Jodi was nervous and her wrist wasn't in the correct position, could her .25 have jammed the same way?
And lastly, I wonder if Jodi maybe planned to kill herself with gun after stabbing Travis to death. In the interrogation we saw yesterday, she mentions the the ninjas decided to spare her, and I think its entirely possible that what REALLY happened was the she decided to spare herself, using the last bullet on Travis?
