PART 2
THE SHOWER, ETC.
VERSION #4
Manifesto, July (?) 2008.
With Traviss permission, I took pictures of him in the shower. Those were tasteful shots, from the waist up. We were going for a Calvin Klein ad kind of look. Travis had been working hard on sculpting his body and getting ready for the summer, and as a result felt very comfortable in his skin.
(Note: Story Version, the last shell give before trial. Shes thought more about her story. Shes settled on the ninjas story, so the how and why of a Travis shower photo shoot isnt her focus, its just a prelude to the murder by ninjas whopper that follows next.
Shes edited out any mention of Cancunwent back to the Calvin Klein ad photoshoot version, and the photo taking is presented as a joint idea).
No wonder she couldnt keep her stories straight at trial.
Day 25, part 1, David Lohr.
BTW, she completely refuses to give him even approx.. times or a sequence of events for anything she did between the last sex pic at 1:45pm and when he got into the shower. More on that in another post. 
She does agree to his timeline about where Travis was up until the time of shower. Woke up, had sex, went downstairs to look at CDs, had sex in the office. She says she went to take a shower in his bathroom, when she came back down Travis was still in the office.
At some point he went up to take a shower
.
Digression, completely related, about shaving.
Heres where JM plays the Flores tape over and over, where she says it took a lot of convincing prior when he was shaving.
She keeps saying the convincing was about having to convince him another time to let her take the shaving pic he ended up using as a profile pic. That the convincing wasnt about letting her take the shower pics on June 4; that they had discussed THAT long before, and he had agreed to them.
JM asks- so he had shaven before shower pics? She said no. Jodith looks down and adds sadly, he didnt shave at all that day.
JM whips out the pic of Travis sitting down in shower, cleanly shaven.
She has already agreed to a timeline which made it impossible for Travis to have shaven at any time before the shower pics, and yet
..he had.
She has also said that she didnt try to convince Travis while he was shaving to take the shower pics, that the convincing she was talking about was having to convince him to take the shaving pics in January.
Remember now her telling him in April that she wanted to redo the shaving photoshoot, that she was sure she could make him look better?
He shaved that day, without her taking photos of it, and yet she takes photos of him in the shower. In other words, IMO, either she has asked and he didnt give her permission to take shaving pics much less pics of him in the shower, or he has shaven at some point in the day that isnt convenient for her to fit in with her story about what happened that day before the shower.
Perhaps there are conclusions to be drawn as well about her story of oral sex that day being uncomfortable because he hadnt shaven?
Back to the shower.
Yep, she has 2 (interrelated) problems now with her shower testimony and shes about to acquire some more.
1. She had to convince Travis to get in the shower, VS. oh no, he was OK with getting in the shower.
2. It was HER idea that they take shower pics (CKlein look) VS. it was his idea or a shared idea (buff body, Cancun).
If it was HIS idea, why would she need to convince him to get in the shower?
If it was HER idea, why was she taking the photos? On his camera?
Oops. The only reason for taking the photos on his camera is because HE wanted them, and therefore she shouldnt have had to convince him, and yet
.there it is, Flores tapes: Yah, I asked him if I could take Cklein like pics and he said NO! Flores: yah, he looked uncomfortable at first.
Another oops, though it goes by fast and JM doesnt follow after it. During the section when JM is asking about whether or not she has ever seen TAs camera before she says- Yes.
I saw a pic he posted on FB of himself, his whole body, posing in the bathroom, and his new camera is clearly visible.
Umm. Hes already taken that pre-Cancun buff body photo himself? Didnt need her to do it? And....hes posted it on FB to show off his buff body, ready for Cancun to everyone? And she by her own admission has not only seen it, but remembers it well enough to think of it when JM is asking her about her familiarity with TAs camera. Hmm.
The at this point probably thinks the worst is over about the before murder shower thing. She couldnt be more wrong.
JM is
no words describe. This whole cross is one of the most brilliant in the trial.
Hes already laid the foundation about her unfamiliarity with TAs camera, including, how awful for her, the fact shes never deleted pics from it. She senses the danger a few questions later, but its too late. She can equivocate all she wants and try to backtrack (oh I MIGHT have helped Travis delete those sex pics. I just dont remember, really).
And yet
..her story is she took pics in the shower, he looked at them, she deleted what he didnt like, over and over and over, for 8 minutes. Without knowing how to delete photos on his camera? And, though JM doesnt even have to say it, there are no other shower pics. She couldnt have deleted pics with or without TAs participation.
Why this lie? She is trying to make it appear she had his consent and approval. She did not.
On to the last point, which IMO ties all these like strands together with one great big bow, which is why JM saved it for last before moving on to the murder itself.
JM asks the - so were you directing Travis? NO. Was he posing at your direction? NO. Didnt you tell Flores you were going for the CKlein look ? YES.
Well then, wouldnt that be at your direction, you telling him how to pose? To stand up?
To SIT DOWN? : He sat down so we could look at the pics together and decide what to delete. (hes already destroyed her on that point, by questioning her about her familiarity with TA's camera, BEFORE he began asking her any questions about what happened in the shower. Wow).
He destroys her one last time before moving on to the next seconds and the murder itself:
JM: So you say that was an accidental shot of TAs buttock?
: Obviously ! (
.) It had to be accidental, because I would NEVER have taken a photo of that on purpose.
It doesnt get any more LOL than that.
ETA: There are only 2 photos in the entire 8 minute sequence for which she seems to have taken the time and care to change settings, including lighting and focus.
One is the very first photo. Travis has his eyes closed. He is not smiling, much less looking like he's posing, proud and eager to show off those muscles he's worked for months to obtain.
But that's what this carefully taken photo is focusing on- those arm muscles. That's not a make believe Calvin Klein shot.
IMO it is her ordering him, at gunpoint, to show off those Cancun muscles of his.
The second and only other genuinely posed photo is the haunting one of Travis sitting, facing us. I can't bear to think about what she was screeching hissing at him then.
