Cmon January 5th!! This trial is taking way way too long.

Yes AZ's opinion would be nice to have on this. My suspicion rests on the fact that the journals are her intellectual property and so could possibly be grounds to claim part of any money generated by using them outside of the court process. I would love to be assured otherwise!
I think it would fall within the fair use exception to the copyright laws if it's evidence that was seized by law enforcement. I'm pretty sure no one paid the Unabomber to print his "manifesto."![]()
I'd just like to say a few things about JA's journals. I wish that she had not murdered Travis and cut short his life and in many ways her own as well. But I'm just not able to feel sorry for her--for her financial troubles. The truth is that there are millions in the world who are dying of poverty, have no protection from the elements, no clean water etc. And so many Americans struggle to make ends meet, pay the bills and look after their children. They just work hard and do the best they can. Arias was okay---she had food to eat, a job, shelter (even if she did have to sleep on the floor at times) and if all else failed she did have her family to depend on.
It's easy to read her journals and feel sorry for her. However, she did not write about hitting her brother with a baseball bat, lashing out at her parents, kicking Doggy Boy, stalking some of her boyfriends, luring men with sex (she couldn't care one bit about 'degrading' herself, it was a manipulation tactic ), pretending to be a friend of Travis' when she actually just used him for sex, money, status etc. She stalked, manipulated and threatened Travis to the point where he was extremely afraid. And the manner in which she murdered him was beyond barbaric. I guess my point is that she was never a normal, young woman who snapped under the pressures of adulthood. I think she's been struggling with psychopathic tendencies since she was a child.
2-Someone brought up that a memory stick could have been used by JA to download the photos to a memory stick and then delete the photos from the camera. Great point. Which makes me wonder if there still exists the memory stick somewhere. JA seems to be the type to take "souvenir" like that so it would not surprise me if she still has possession of it somewhere.
I know she butchered a man, I also know there is no excuse for it. I am not saying anyone wants to get in her head, BUT, evidently some of us took the time to read her ramblings, so all is not lost I guess.

To be honest, I don't WANT to get into her head. Arias killed a man and there is no excuse.

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.
When my email was high jacked I learned that the hacker had sent out that very email to all of my contacts using my email address. I had to contact everyone and tell them it wasn't me. Rather embarrassing and very aggravating. Thankfully no one fell for it.
Her writings are exaggerated also: 1. not hard but "very" hard 2. took "all" my money but than spend 40 dollars on tickets 3. not just fees, but "ton" of fees 4. the one non exaggeration: he screamed at her for overdrawing her account again and and wants to put a gun to his head, he probably did not say pull the trigger ( poor guy had probably been in the bank most of the day trying to figure out her bank account 5. not compassion but "great" compassion 6. not despairing but "really" despairing 7. "just" marry Travis not marry 8. there is more, and as CMJA would say tons more exaggerated words not just in this one entry but throughout her journal
I can believe he got extremely frustrated with her and said something like "shoot me now", as frustrated people sometimes do ... as a figure of speech. That's not particularly impressive for her journal, though, so instead of taking on the responsibility of driving him crazy with her BS, she cherry-picks it out of the conversation, turns it back on him, and writes that he wants to get a gun and shoot himself in the head because of HIS financial problems, as if she has nothing to do with it, and HE is such a drama queen. She embellishes everything until it no longer bears any relation to what was originally said, the way it was said, or what ACTUALLY happened.
