Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - 12/19-1/5 Break

[Hatfield]

Three days after finding Travis in his bedroom on his bed masturbating to a picture of a little boy, and Jodi's happy to be back in it.

Jodi journal entry January 24 2008

I`m trying very hard not to be in a state of blame right now, but if it weren't for Travis borrowing all of my money, I`d be in San Diego tonight. I spent $40 on two super Saturday tickets to see Jeff Olson (ph) and visit with my friends that I miss very much, but I've been squeezed dry and then some because of him.

I drained my checking account to put money into his and then was hit with tons of fees, fees that he isn't going to pay, $96 worth. And he has the nerve to tell me to balance my checkbook. Nay, he didn`t just tell me that, he screamed it at me, and then proceeded to say that he wants to get a gun and put it to his head and pull the trigger.

I was crying because it distresses me to see him like that and because I know all too well and first-hand what it is like to be where he is1. So it was with great compassion that I calmly, sweetly, to my best ability, soothingly told him that everything was going to be all right, that, like always, this, too, shall pass, that I promise everything will be worth it in the end.

I wanted to soothe away his worries. He was under more stress than I had ever seen him. He was really despairing today. I lended him another $80. I went to the bank for him to deposit it into his account since he said he doesn't want to step foot in that bank again today. By the time we had parted, things seemed a little better.

True, I could just marry Travis, but as wonderful a guy as he is, I just don`t think we are quite right for each other. I'm a little too sensitive. Although I prefer to think of it as Christ-like. And he is a little too rough around the edges although it is nearly impossible to imagine my life without him right now, he is amazing and he can cheer me up in a snap by singing me songs and holding me close. I like it when we cuddle. That`s the very best. On my bad days he brings me up, but I fear I rely on him too much for that sometimes. He is way too stressed in his own issues. He invariably suggests that we both distress by, well, being naughty. And although it is a temporary relief I think it is causing more problems. Besides, if it is something that I can`t tell my bishop then I probably shouldn't be doing it.

Well, today was interesting to say the least. Highs and lows. Travis was obscenely mean to me, but then he was extremely sweet and apologetic. It`s easy to forgive him when I remember who he is, who I am, and who we all really are, which is divine offspring, children of God.

He`s so hard to say no to. We totally made out afterward. But he was so sweet and kind and attentive the entire rest of the night. It was a long drive back from Las Vegas. Travis was being extremely impatient, but eventually he got over it. So I raced home, freshened up, and headed over there with tootsy pops. He makes me want to be so naughty. And naughty we were. We went all the way again. It was different this time. He was different. He was tender and sweet and loving. He said he had been planning and hoping for this. He said he wanted to savor the moment and make it last as long as possible. He asked me if I felt guilty and I said yes. Then he told me he wanted this because he wanted us to always have something special. Perhaps it was like closure for both of us.


So we know the day the tootsie pops were involved and that they went all the way for the second time. IIRC Jodi tells Travis in the sex phone call that he made her feel like a Goddess the day he had rose petals and candles down the hall to his bathroom and around the tub. I think that is the "first" all the way sex. Jodi said that is didn't count according to Travis because it was underwater.

Wouldn't you be talking about sex acts more recent than four months ago? Jodi always seems to be in control and a saint while Travis is an short tempered and mean to her.

All the way sex after being broke up for seven months -

If you can read all of this on day it is so laughable. Nobody pats them self on the back as much as Jodi and her kind words of wisdom and gentle ways.

Re this part:

"I just don`t think we are quite right for each other. I'm a little too sensitive. Although I prefer to think of it as Christ-like."

Did she just compare herself to Jesus here?
My goodness. How arrogant can someone be.

 

[Hatfield]

I love your whole post. Every time I see the bolded above, I almost wet my pants. Nay. Who talks like that?

Totally O/T but everything on WS for me at the moment is center-justified instead of left justified. Anyone else? Is it me or is it WS?

Mine is also center-justified. I hadn't noticed if it has always been this way or not.

Right. Any long delay like that between the HEADER DATE of the message and when the recipient received it would be a red flag that the composer of the email had fudged their date on their computer.

The excuse of "servers must have been slow" would not be a good excuse for JA. LE probably looks at recipients actual received dates of when they get their emails. Or they reference the info you provided is even better way to tell.

Its just something to keep in mind because if the DT is just referencing the email header itself, this is how JA could have been trying to lie about things.

I know with gmail, that the location and time of whoever accesses the email is traceable and is accessible from the gmail page. IOW, if CMJA hacked into Travis' from some other location it should have been easy to determine this. To do this, at the bottom of the gmail page, there is a link for "Last account activity". Click on "details" and a window pops up that says "Activity on this account". This is a chart that lists by date and time, the Access Type (Browser, mobile, etc.) and Location (Ip address, Country and state) from where the account was accessed.

I think that if CMJA sent fraudulent emails to herself from Travis's email address, it must have been from his home. If she had hacked into it from another location, surely LE would have this information. I'm sure there's something I'm missing or not aware of, so anyone please correct me if I'm wrong. TIA

As a Christan, we are to become Christ like in our walk with Him every day. So, she's not really. But she sure flip flops back and forth between being a sweet saint to being the *advertiser censored* in the letter to Lisa doesn't she?

 

[ILikeToBendPages]

This would of been in August 2007, right after Jodi moved back to Mesa and went over to get something in the backyard and watched Travis and a woman kissing.



I don't understand it and at times have a hard time believing it. He makes me sick and happy, makes me feel sad and miserable, and makes me feel uplifted and beautiful. I shouldn't be wording it as if he makes me feel those things. It all originates from within. All of my darkness if fruit of my own creation, it originates within.

 

[Dmacky]

Since JA was darn determined to hire a PI and go pro se in order to get her paws on
TA's hard drive, it has to be something she remembered. :thinking:

One of TA's friends possibly (Serle?) has said that TA brought his computer over to him to have him delete some *advertiser censored* that one of his roommates had been looking at on his computer. Travis evicted this particular roommate. I don't know who it was or when, but I think JA had known about this and suddenly remembered this past year. She and her defense team had no problem with the computer evidence stating there was no *advertiser censored* found in her trial in Jan. of 2013. Could it possibly be this?

 

[Dmacky]

IIRC Jodi moved to Mesa on July 7th. I could be wrong.

 

[Tiger09]

I wish there were other Jodi journals to compare to. Does she morph her personality to fit the man? All the religious talk is weird and so fake. Who talks like that? Anyone religious enough to regularly use terms like Christ-like wouldn't be having premarital sex with multiple partners (or um killing men etc) so why is this journal even considered evidence? It's like bad fan fiction? Let me guess, Jodi Arias loves Twilight as well?

Was she planning his murder the whole time or when they argued on May 25? 26? 28? Did she recreate a new set of journals and get lazy or suck at dates? If so, did she burn/destroy the real ones or are the real ones in Yreka or at an ex's house, sitting in a box?

The rental car guy said the car smelled like smoke. Possibly from burning her clothes and any evidence in the desert? She definitely rewrote those journals. But then again, she had a whole month to get rid of the old journals and rewrite another one.

Thanks ILTBP.

Gotta love the pretentious writing style.

"I drained my checking account to put money into his and then was hit with tons of fees, fees that he isn't going to pay, $96 worth. And he has the nerve to tell me to balance my checkbook. Nay, he didn`t just tell me that, he screamed it at me, and then proceeded to say that he wants to get a gun and put it to his head and pull the trigger."

Nay? This sticks out to me, probably because it reinforces the possibility that JA wrote this journal entry for an audience. Did she magically begin to write with a Scottish brogue?

 

[LinasK]

What she should have done was, forget about trashing Travis, stick with the original blonde look, INSIST on a speedy trial, fall all over herself apologizing and ADMIT everything...including she could NOT live without Mr. Alexander in her life.

She would have probably actually been out in twenty. MOO

She can't stick with the blonde look, because she is a natural brunette and she doesn't get access to hair dye in jail. She's not ugly because she's a brunette, she's ugly because she's evil!!!

BBM

The same person who calls texts 'scandalous' - these have to be rewrites, that or they're mostly fantasy while channeling a bodice-ripper author.

Center justified for me too, must have happened when the yellow Holiday Greeting was added up top.

 

[geevee]

Yay, back to left hand beginnings. lol

Happy Holidays, WS and staff!

Jodi's journal January 24, 2008

Nay, he didn`t just tell me that, he screamed it at me, and then proceeded to say that he wants to get a gun and put it to his head and pull the trigger.


I guess she forgot those texts from three days before on the 21st when she asked if he'd put money into her account yet. But the thing that caught my eye is -that last sentence. He had that little gun right there and handy in his closet. Travis wasn't a man that if he had a gun it wouldn't of been a little piss ant gun like her grandpa''s.

 

[Tiger09]

What bothers me the most about her journals- and I'm sure I can't be alone in this- is that I know I've read parts of it somewhere. Here and there, random quotes and the style of writing is plagarized from other written works. It reads like a YA novel and trails like she wants to be pretentious and be almost Shakespearean or Bibical in her text. It's like she stole so much of the text and put it in so randomly that there's no way it could be proved. But there's no way anyone, even a crazy person like Jodi could do everything she did by July and copy a journal. .....right?

 

[atthelake]

For those that are on Eastern time.... :grouphug:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Agree about the tone and content. She likely had little to fill her time after quitting her job because LE called there (aside from pretending to mourn Travis' death), maybe that's how she worked up tears for the benefit of others, writing all this tripe that isn't true, or honest, or even logical - Travis pays her to clean his house while borrowing so much money from her that she's overdrawn, and then yells at her for not balancing her checkbook, oh goodness, I know it makes me want to cry.

So confused lol, as the last trial I thought that the theme was that nothing "bad" would be written in the journal. smh smh smh

I guess that the publication of HIS journals is perhaps what Chris and Sky Hughes have for the publication of their book that will perhaps lend credence with all we have been theorizing. We, at this time don't have Travis journal although we know it exists. It hasn't been put into evidence probably due to legalities of such...but perhaps Chris will release it after the sentencing. SMH if he has to hold back for the appeals and I would gander that he is busting at the seams to share the inconsistencies of HER journal with his. But for legal reasons.. his is not in evidence to compare.

THAT Ms. Grace... is the "bombshell" for the future perhaps.

 

[rose222]

I'm sure that many of Arias' journal entries were fabricated post-murder. And the ones before were written in order to manipulate Travis---she made sure that Travis 'accidentally' read them. The thing with Arias is that she is always playing a part for an audience. Even when left to herself she is like an actress on the stage. Even if she were to write something and burn it right then and there it would be full of lies. She can go from writing in a Biblical style to New-Age to Colloquial in two minutes flat depending on her intended targets and ever-fluctuating moods. There is not an authentic bone in her body. As jane the dood said in a previous post Juan should tell the jury that Arias' journals, letters and direct testimony are mere fiction...they are as much use as a chocolate teapot.

What caught my eye in this entry is not only is it merely a few days after the alleged pedo incident, but also that she had access to his chequing account. Imo, TA was allegedly obviously upset because JA couldn't balance her own chequebook, which leads me to suspect that she had probably bounced cheques to him and was putting his credit rating at risk, something a young entrepreneur would not take lightly. I also note that wasn't it only a week or two later when his tires were slashed(Feb.2), or was that the second time? She really seemed to think that giving him sex would make everything all better... I do have a question about this Las Vegas trip though, was this the time when iirc she had showed up unexpectedly and there were pics of her flaunting a bathrobe at his door, the time when TA allegedly wanted her to stop in to see him but she stayed an extra day(was that the time she went seen in pics with that group of people in a limo?), or some other unknown trip they had made together?
--------------------------------------------
Anyway, it is Christmas Eve so I will end with best wishes to all my fellow sleuthers:

May the stars shine bright on you this night as your memories of loved ones bring happiness to your hearts while you create new ones for years to come.:loveyou:
