There is one thing that has bothered me about the evidence. Its a minor thing, and it doesnt diminish the guilty verdict, but I know it to be incorrect. The evidence was about the credit card charges when Jodi rented the car. She said her reason for changing her mind on something was due to what Priceline offered on the rental car. Juan said she didnt go to Priceline to rent the car. His proof was credit card charges were shown that the rental car agency was the vendor on her credit card receipt. He said if she had rented the car through Priceline, then Priceline would be shown as the vendor on her credit card receipt. Thats not correct. His proof was her credit card receipt showing the rental car agency as vendor as opposed to an airline ticket she purchased Priceline was shown as the vendor for the plane fare purchase.
Im not sure as to their current policy, but during the timeframe when Jodi rented the car, when a car was rented through Priceline, it was just a reservation. Priceline held the reservation, but no charges were made. The rental car company *would* charge credit cards directly. When the person picked up the car, that was the only time credit card information was exchanged. Pricelines name would not appear anywhere on the credit card receipt.
For air fares, it was different. The moment the reservation was made, the ticket was purchased by Priceline, and Priceline would show up on credit card statements.
I know this to be a fact because I handled travel arrangements where I worked, and thats just the way it transpired.
It doesnt change anything, and that one data point is insignificant in the whole scheme of things, however.
