Since I was on lock-out from WS today
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I actually resorted to taking notes while JA spoke ( I know, actual pen and paper!)
These are the things I noted:
when she talked of Travis' grandmother, I was pizzed. I think this was her "sneaky" way of getting in there that Travis' grandma was sick before the murder of Travis and that the Grandma (not Travis) was the glue of the family. Grrrr... very early in her talk and I already wanted to pluck her voicebox out with my bare hands.
The suicide letter BS. What crap... she thinks FAR too much of herself to ever "make the world try to go on without her".
All the jobs/good things:
If all these things are available for you to do, what have you been doing for five freakin' years? Recycling program, teaching Spanish or ALS, book club... BS. There are many others who could (and actually WOULD) do these things. I don't believe for a second she will do ANY of this anyway - it's all about JA to JA and I don't think she will feel these things are worthy of her time.
As far as the t-shirt... BAD MOVE! She already knows they didn't buy the DV carp, and then uses her spotlight moment to trash Travis once again by saying he abused her. That move alone earns her a GREAT BIG F YOU from me.
She said she was the first daughter. (guess her older half sister doesn't count?) Then she gives us the family slide show. Camping, nieces, Christmas, etc... Guess what JA? YOU and ONLY YOU are responsible for none of those things being available to you anymore. The pain in your family (and I believe any family would be in pain over this situation) is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT YOUR FAULT! You say you are the cause, but it is clear you don't believe that. We all see it very clearly and I pray the jury does too.
The whole bringing up PW was threatened. I know some are really angry about that but I wasn't shocked. It was her attempt to sway the jury. I don't think the jury gives anything she says any weight, so I don't think it will matter one way or the other that she mentioned it.
Her whole BS about not wanting to malign Travis. What a load of crapola and I am sure the jury will see that. They aren't stupid. They heard her testimony ad nauseum on the stand.
And, of course, after all her interviews saying she would want death, she asks for Life. Anyone shocked? I am not. Again, she thinks too much of herself to want to die. I don't believe for one second it was a recent change of mind or has anything to do with her family and their feelings. It is, as always, all about JA.
Ok - didn't see the JM or JW parts will have to watch them when they are posted. I don't know what the jury will decide, but I don't think what JA said contained anything that would sway me if I were them.
