I agree. It looks like to me she was just wiping tears. Tears for herself, that is.
That's exactly what it looks like to me too.

I see the gesture people have discussed, but I do not see throat slashing in it. I don't put a whole lot of stock into that "truth detector" micro-expression stuff.
JMO; another point of view. Not saying anyone is wrong, just want to say that some people see it and think it's meaningful; to some it's not.

She is doing that too, I agree. She isnt always crying when she does the throat slashing gesture. Thst is what is interestng. She certainly doesn't appear to be when Chris Hughes is being questioned. She looks dry-eyes and furious.
The Pedophilia Lies.___________Arias wrote in her diary that there was nothing of note to report, January 21-24, 2008. I think she chose these empty days so that contradictory, competing activities would not surface to trap her in a lie. "But Ms. Arias, weren't you at the ball park on the evening of...."? That sort of information. So, having selected this spell of nothingness, she filled it with libelous accounts. She informed her lawyers and testified that she was so horrified by what she came upon in Travis's bedroom that she fled the scene, went home and vomited. Extremely disturbed, she then drove around aimlessly for hours. This may become possible decades into the future but it was a sci-fi stunt on January 21, 2008, because she did not have a car​. That's precisely why she needed a ride from work on January 22 and why she had been scheduled to pick up the car she wanted to borrow on January 21, if not for a sick headache.
I guess that's kind of her go-to coping mechanism story. You know the old-fashioned plane-moving-across-a-map graphics in movies? In the next Jodi Arias movie (I'm sure there will be more), whenever they need to depict an occurrence of Jodi driving around aimlessly for hours because she was extremely disturbed by pedophilia or murder or something, the director could just use a picture of a car and a bunch of scribbles. (Weird how she never has to stop for gas when she's driving around aimlessly for hours.)Extremely disturbed, she then drove around aimlessly for hours.
What is this nonsense in the mitigating factors - that Jodi was ONLY 27 when she committed her first crime ! What?! That doesn't even make sense. So she should be spared because she was so young? Am I reading it wrong? And, really, how many people commit murder as a first crime? I'm sure Jodi has a history of criminal acts, but just never got caught. She was a bad seed from the getgo.
Warped, into a black hole in space. Here's some more material for the book Who Does That? In her television interview from the jail, Arias was claiming she had no part in the crime against Travis. She made the following declaration: "I would be shaking in my boots right now, if I had to answer to God for such a heinous crime. But I'm very grateful that this is one thing that I will never have to answer to when I stand or sit before the judgment seat someday."
When she opens a topic about her relation to God, there is an expectation of personal authenticity, even if you are irreligious, a non-believer. She is about to describe something spiritual. Instead, we hear a deliberate, planned lie that takes God's name in vain. We can speculate that she injects this to add a measure of emphasis, of drama. Of course, she also assesses it as more convincing. The irony rests on her that it reveals to what degree she respected her solemn oath in the trials to come. "The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God."

Is there a post #for the videos in question? Not coming up in Search. Yes, we've seen them in the past but my memory is dim on the details now. Thanks in advance.
Then there was this shining moment of piety:

(And why is it I want to slap her every time she says heinous?)
eta:
I guess she's not so clear on Pearly Gate protocol or potential furniture.
... If, for some weird alternate universe reason, Jodi is ever released from prison, she WILL kill again just because she can.
You know...I am not really convinced they believe her. Her family, I mean.
Those letters frighten me. This new jury will be clueless because they will choose people who don't pay attention to the news or read about what's going on around them. So you get some very naive, uninformed people, and give them letters 'from Travis' admitting he is a pedophile? That could be a catastrophe. There will be a couple that believe her lies.

I'll be covering the Arias penalty phase retrial through a new website called Karas on Crime at https://karasoncrime.com/. When you go to the site, you'll see an introductory video where I describe my plan. I will give you a live report on the website every night along with updates, photos from the courtroom pool camera, analysis, and more. I've already posted some documents and analysis, a timeline from the first trial, etc. This is a members-only subscription site. If you want all the details from the retrial, please join!
That's not too bad.. I hope she gets some subscribers, not a lot of people are interested in the trial this time around.
