To change the topic a bit, I've been contemplating the blood spatter evidence from Friday. Based on the testimony, it appears Travis was likely stabbed in the heart near the shower door. He possibly lunged out in surprise. He headed away from Jodi in a clockwise direction since she was probably blocking the hall to the bedroom. He went past the tub and possibly collapsed (couldn't feel his legs) and Jodi stabbed at him, causing the spatter to appear at a relatively low height. He worked his way around to the sink and tried to pull himself up at the sink. There, he coughed up blood and was continually stabbed by Jodi. He managed to crawl as far as the bedroom where she slashed his throat. She then dragged him back to the shower. By then, he was dead. She likely shot him in the head to be sure he was dead before she put him in the shower.
All of this took less than 1 1/2 minutes. Those were the most horrifyingly painful moments in Travis' life. He had to know he was dying.
I do believe Travis lunged after Jodi. It wasn't because the camera was dropped, it was because he had been stabbed in the heart.
That would explain why the walls of the shower were clean. He never bled in there until post-mortem. That blood came about because of sheer gravity.
IMHO, any stab wounds or slashing wounds after the first could in no way be part of self defense. Travis was crawling for his life and couldn't outrun the hyped-up Jodi.
As to their relative moral characters, I could care less. In the long run, the proof is in those wounds, three of them fatal.
It boggles the mind that all of this horror happened in such a short period of time. Life sure can turn on a dime.
