Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - 1/29 thru 2/2 - Break

[5bigfish5]

Scads of the scantily clad...

And, staying on topic, what Gus Searcy said about JA's apparel and accoutrements:

"She was always dressed very feminine but very conservative."

He also described her dress as "classy... appropriate... professional".

Now, I'll be the last guy ever accused of possessing ladies' fashion expertise, but c'mon, Gus!

Other words like provocative and revealing seem more apt descriptors.

Except for that stupid t-shirt she made after she killed TA, of course.

Yep! No self-esteem there.

Does anyone know if DR ever married?

Court doc filed Oct. 22, 2013 by JA to remove Nurmi. It's like a peek into the mind of a mad woman.

WOW. Thanks for linking this doc again. What an enjoyable read. Been a while since I skimmed it. I enjoyed reading it so much that I uncorked some Pinot G and started reading back at the beginning. It is a blow by blow of how utterly miserable Nurmi is making the killer's life. I actually like Nurmeister a bit right now. LOL

Love how she says it was a big horrible mistake not to try and go after Deanna's credibility. And looks like they took her advice this time and EPIC FAIL. LOL

Juan did a perfect redirect, and showed that Deanna told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And JW looked like a petty witch. Again.

And the jury is left with the Bishops testimony, as they go home for the long break.

Does anyone know if DR ever married?

She is married now I believe.

Not astigmatism: I have that and it doesn't make my eyes look in different directions. She is cross-eyed or has strabismus or something. It's probably exacerbated by looking in the mirror at herself overly much, especially in profile. Usually this can be corrected, at least somewhat. I'll bet she was too vain to undergo the treatment.

I'd guess at amblyopia, or more commonly known as "lazy eye". My youngest son has/d it, however we caught it while he was quite young(4) and thankfully were able to correct it. Turns out he actually needed glasses for one of his eyes that was nearsighted, as well as the required patching.

So what's the vibe? Is she going to wriggle out?

Did witness#1 ever live with the Bishop? If not, how did he know him? Enough to allow the online gf to live in his home for 4-5 months?
I thought he said witness #1 used the communal computer to meet this online gf and skype with her....I think I'm really confused....

From the texts above, it sounds like the Bishop knew witness1 , but witness1 did not live with the Bishop. Apparently W#1 worked with computers, so he did not need to come use the communal one, it seems. [ but that is not clear.] After he became serious with his online girlfriend, he asked the Bishop to talk to her parents, and assure them the Bishop could watch over her if she came to visit. And that is supposedly when he began using the communal computer?

Sounds like it and apparently he saw his gf at the Bishop's daily for 4-5 months(until they got married), not sure just when the pop-ups happened, just that it would have been somewhere between Nov/00 and March or April/01, long after TA had moved out in Aug/00 and while DR was in Costa Rica(June/00-Nov/01) so there's no way any of that could have happened the way he said it did. As for how MM knew TA, possibly in the singles ward in '99, since that's when the Bishop met both of them. Perhaps some kind of rivalry from the ward, or just that old black magic that JA seems to cast over insecure individuals...

I thought it was cool that Juan never even bothered to ask the Bishop about the alleged 'couch altercation.' As you said, DR did not return until Nov 01. W#1 claims that happened in Dec 01---but she and TA were not even dating at that time. So arguing over marriage makes no sense.

I am sure Nurmi will WANT to ask the Bishop about it though. But since Juan did not bring it up in direct, does that mean Nurmi cannot ask about it in cross?

I am not sure, because I think that Juan had the Witness affidavit showing on the projector, so that might have opened the door?

That is pretty close to how I recall it:
- Travis moved out and no one had ever seen him on the computer. No pop-up issues at that time.
- Jake moved in after and the problems started some time after that. Tommy said it was Jake's doing.
- Future Mrs W1 moved in later and geek Mr W1 worked on fixing the problem, which was done at a repair shop.
- It wasn't even *advertiser censored* that was found and definitely not chorn, just scantily clad ladies.

There was one part I wasn't quite clear on. W1 met his future wife on-line. Some of us were wondering if he had done some wife-searching from the bishop's computer and maybe that had triggered the problem as opposed to Jake doing it. But the bishop was convinced it was Jake because Tommy and the bishop's son I believe it was both told him that Jake told them it was his fault.

That is "professional", for some "occupations"

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong..But didn't I read( versus heard) It's only per McGee's affidavit he knew him...and since this mystery witness#1 has never been cross examined let alone interviewed by State (Juan)..then it really comes down to an unknown,unsubstantiated allegation...Yet, somehow THIS Judge is allowing DT to present it a some sort of fact????????? The appellate courts could have a coronary reviewing the rulings on allowing such evidence to even enter a court case...But I will admit..I am a purist when it comes to evidence being properly vetted long before being allowed...:tantrum:

JM is very happy the judge allowed this in. He's destroying the credibility of Jodi's "character" witness'.

I'm not overly familiar with that case and I don't want to get involved in another big one. He's the football player accused of 3 separate murders, correct?

and under inflating footballs.

According to BK, the Bishop said MM had had this online relationship for a few years at the time he met MM(was about the same time as he met TA in March 1999). MM and his woman friend wanted to meet to see if they were compatible(with an eye to marry) and the Bishop helped by giving her a place to stay while they got to know each other.

 

[bsk]

Hadn't Juan finished his direct on Bishop Parker when the day ended yesterday? I believe that was the case.

It's pathetic that KN didn't complete his cross, wasting more time and money. Seriously, how much is there that he can ask?
- "You said that Travis never touched the computer. Were you with it every moment he was there?" This would get nowhere and pizz off the jurors. They already know he had nothing to do with it, so it would just remind them about the defense and W1 lies.
- "What did Travis confess to?" Objection. Sustained.
- "What did Deanna confess to?" Objection. Sustained.
- "Did Travis confess...?" Objection. Sustained.
- "How long ... temple recommend ...?" Objection. Sustained.

It's pointless to think they will get anything out of him. The defense should have been happy to get him off the stand as quickly as possible. Instead just seeing him Monday will remind the jurors how pathetic the defense's case is. And if KN thinks better of it and doesn't ask any questions Monday that will infuriate the jurors because they'll know he jacked the poor guy around needlessly just to be spiteful.

Oral Arguments set for MAY 8TH??????? The trial is going to last until May?

 

[Steely Dan]

Hadn't Juan finished his direct on Bishop Parker when the day ended yesterday? I believe that was the case.

It's pathetic that KN didn't complete his cross, wasting more time and money. Seriously, how much is there that he can ask?
- "You said that Travis never touched the computer. Were you with it every moment he was there?" This would get nowhere and pizz off the jurors. They already know he had nothing to do with it, so it would just remind them about the defense and W1 lies.
- "What did Travis confess to?" Objection. Sustained.
- "What did Deanna confess to?" Objection. Sustained.
- "Did Travis confess...?" Objection. Sustained.
- "How long ... temple recommend ...?" Objection. Sustained.

It's pointless to think they will get anything out of him. The defense should have been happy to get him off the stand as quickly as possible. Instead just seeing him Monday will remind the jurors how pathetic the defense's case is. And if KN thinks better of it and doesn't ask any questions Monday that will infuriate the jurors because they'll know he jacked the poor guy around needlessly just to be spiteful.

I will explode if KN asks him two questions and then is done. My guess is that KN didn't know how easily the Bishop would destroy the affidavit and he needs time to re-prepare. JMO

Oral Arguments set for MAY 8TH??????? The trial is going to last until May?

I think that's a different trial and she posted it in order to compare to JA's trial. JMO

 

[IfIMay]

I had asked a question in the previous thread: Did Mark McGee even know Travis? Does anyone know or is this part of the whole lie?

I may be late in the thread, but I wanted to give my 2 cents. I think MM knew "of" Travis. I bet Travis was everything he wasn't. Popular, well liked, friendly in that Ward and Singles group. They may have had interchanges in passing, but not "friends". I think MM was jealous. And that is the seed, along with his desire to be "known". He is now a "darling" of the JA followers.. well, maybe not since he's a proven liar and his affidavit will not save her after all the talk.

Sounds kind of like talking about JA vs Deanna doesn't it? Interesting.
