Jodi Arias Trial Watchers Thread #1

[Steely Dan]

Hopefully they'll call the roommate in and ask him why he didn't smell anything.

IMO--Young men living alone = some "normal" amount of stinky.

I'd imagine he will be called, and that will be riveting testimony. JMO

Hello all! I haven't posted much, but I think I shall pick this thread to jump in on.

This defense atty is making my head spin!! I feel sorry for the witness (her name is escaping me at the moment).

i don't understand - what is this atty trying to do??

 

[BrownRice]

How does his roommate go four(?) days without smelling anything or calling the police?

But she already admitted to killing him so what does it matter? I know it does since everybody is jumping on this - I am just dense I guess.

Oh after he drills the fact mormoms dont sleep around he will lower the boom and say Travis was a low down dirty dog and here is the phone sex to prove it

great link nursee! thanks for posting the site that has such great min by min coverage(best I've personally seen thus far for live, accurate, detailed courtroom coverage)

any who..IMO the below quote from opening statements gives us the explaining of the mentioning of KY..moo is the initial thoughts most had were accurate..

4:21 p.m. ET: Willmott says Alexander pressured Arias into have sex with her despite his Mormon faith. Alexander told Arias that anal and oral sex was not as big of a sin as vaginal sex.

and here's nursee's link again to the great play by play coverage in the courtroom..hope their detailed coverage stays this way throughout the trial.

I'm assuming he wants to make Travis look bad...at some point anyway. Ay yi yi though.

And I agree about the smell. The roommate didn't notice it at all???

Apparently it's a really easy quick process!

idk - they were young men - no offense - and mite not really notice especially cuz the was dog pee and poop every where too

 

[Steely Dan]

For some reason I seem to recall that the roommate had been out of town and had just gotten home. Hadn't been home the entire four days.

But, there had to be dog poop/pee on the floor, etc in addition to the odor when he got home. I just don't understand why HE wasn't concerned??

Yeah, that seems very odd.

Current witness, Marie Hall, nicknamed Mimi -
Went on 3 dates with Travis, then told him that she didn't have "sparks"
Member of Travis' church
Traveling to Cancun with Travis

I think they'll try to bring the roommate in on it to help her avoid the death penalty.

Gosh I feel like I converted after all that

I feel perverted after all of that. :blushing:

WoW!...Really??.. I'm at a loss for understanding or comprehending how that premarital sex IS SECOND, ONLY TO MURDER IN THE HIERARCHY OF SINS?..Really?

5:55 p.m. ET: Hall is talking about the hierarchy of sins in the Mormon faith. She says killing is the most serious sin with premarital sex after that.

WoW.. I'm shocked.. guess that may sound stupid, naive, or ignorant to some/many/all but I find it extremely difficult to rank premarital sex ONLY SECOND to cold blooded murder when there are so many other extremely evil, cold hearted sins that are committed..jmo, tho.

 

[hellinor]

Come on did he really need to make her define adultery vs fornication??!!??

 

[hellinor]

Apparently denying the Holy Ghost is mormon sin número uno

 

[polleypockets]

oh snap - jodi became a morman - so she was just as guilty of commiting sin as travis - which dimishis jodi saying it was travis sinning

Joseph Smith had 11 women living in his house when he was married. He told each one of them they were his spiritual wives and secretly married them, ofcourse each one thought they were the only one, so when the chit hit the fan his 1st wife kicked him out and she stayed in that town with his 1st child. he left and was driven all over the country till the men caught up with him and killed him. Some of those women were already married to other men, so i see why he was loathed when he showed up in your town.

 

[Steely Dan]

They let the jury question witness' in Arizona. That is so cool! I would have loved that in the trial I served on.
