Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - Day 24

[AZlawyer]

AZL - are they listing them as Witness #1 and Witness #2, so the jury doesn't wonder why these shrinks didn't come to court to testify? Or, is this just more secret stuff? I have no clue why they can't just use their damn names. All of this secret stuff is irritating and doesn't sound normal, at all.

I know that. I was asking WHY they aren't just saying the psychologists name in mitigation? It's not like they didn't testify in the trial. They shouldn't be a secret, should they be? That's why I was asking AZL, wanted to hear it from an attorney if this is normal in the penalty phase, not to name doctors and other people. Yet, they used Deanna's name. Why not the psychologists names? Weird.

It is completely abnormal and silly IMO.

Bipolar people don't stab people like CMJA, nor do people with BPD. Neither is a defense or mitigate imho

 

[RickshawFan]

But it does crack me up that the 2nd secret witness, is a dishwasher who worked for Jodi's Dad, when she was a teenager. And he 'mitigates' by saying she was 'friendly and artistic' , 15 yrs ago. This is their big character witness? A dishwasher from 15 yrs ago? Oh, and her dad once threw her brother around, or something like that, and he corroborates the sword incident. In which it us entirely unclear what happened or why.

The sword must be Jodi's sword that he was returning, since he wanted nothing more to do with her and she'd left it at his place (or some such sequence of events).

Wrangler jeans are still being worn by people in AZ. One time on a trip to Las Vegas for business, the rooms were filled to the max with the Rodeo Cowboys/crowd. I stayed at the most liveliest place by accident and everyone of those cute cowboys had on Wranglers and I preferred Levi's back then. Well...those rivets, ha ha.

Jaun was doing just incredibly great today. I felt the excitement reading a couple hours later. It's hard to have patience, and this family & jury sure held out. Better than many others following. That's strength & will.

JSS's court calendar for tomorrow. Nothing else scheduled for Jodi, yet.

Yet according to her testimony on the witness stand DR went on her mission from June 2000 to Nov. 2001 and never went home during that whole time, no visits by anyone and in fact the only contact she had was through written letters. Also, TA wrote to her around the summer of 2001 saying he wanted to date others so they broke up. It wasn't until some time after she was back in CA and after they had been back in contact for awhile that they started dating again in 2002 after LB(the one he'd bought the engagement ring for) broke up with TA and moved away. Obviously whoever made up MM's story didn't even bother watching DR's testimony first. You'd think the DT(at least their mitigation "specialist") would have done the ten minutes research necessary...

EXACTLY> And that is the REAL reason they wanted this to come in by affidavit, with no cross examination. They just wanted to throw the bogus child *advertiser censored* accusations out there and run away. Put it on the overhead projecter, have the kindly old goofy doctor confirm the story , then RUN....anic:

Which, by the way, always sruck me as a crazy assumption on their part. Jodi asks to switch red car for a white one "to avoid attention from the police," says she just needs the car for errands around town but then brings it back, late, with 3000 miles on the odometer AND the floormats are missing.

Who knows why she does anything, but why lie about the actual length of her "pretend" trip: Redding - SoCal - Utah - Redding?

I'm just surprised the rental car people didn't look at her behavior a little more closely.

RBBM: In the past, they cared about miles, now they don't. Plus, they have young peeps working for them and their turnover rate is crazy. They don't pay attention anymore. I'm surprised he could say that she was a blonde when she rented the car, seriously.

 

[RickshawFan]

You're right. I have never pondered, nor have I wanted to think about where she was taking a dump that entire time.

I'm being practical. She probably had a pee container in the car or learned from the astronaut how the pros do it.

Hmm, perhaps she baby talked him into a discount?

Marc and Travis met in the LDS singles ward in Riverside, Ca. In 2000, McGee told my source that he was at a Family Home Evening activity at Bishop Vernon Parker's house. Later in the evening, McGee and Travis were sitting in a car in front of Bishop Parker's house when Travis allegedly confessed to McGee that he had a problem with internet *advertiser censored*. McGee did not mention child *advertiser censored* at that time.

Since 2000, Marc McGee and my source have spoken a few more times about that conversation and each time Marc's story was just about internet *advertiser censored*. It wasn't until this year, for the first time, that McGee claims Travis told him he was looking at "kiddie *advertiser censored*" on the internet.

So it sounds like the entire story of pr0n, folders on the Bishop's computer and ANYone viewing pr0n inside of a folder on the Bishop's computer (Travis OR Marc McGee -- oops! sorry... Witness #1) is just another completely fabricated story.

I wonder if Juan knew this all along, and still put forth the theory in open court that it was MM that actually viewed an image of child pr0n and not Travis. You know... for the jury's benefit to discredit the "secret witness's" affidavit testimony AND the mouthpiece used to deliver the message.

Was there a reason this unnamed source didn't volunteer this information? Or had he and I'm just finding out about it for the first time now?

 

[AngelWings444]

I don't remember any reports of forensics finding hers or Travis' blood on her phone so I guess she washed her hands off with Costco trunk water before she started using her phone again? That's if she had blood on her hands at all, as I believe she claimed.

She must have had blood on her hands at some point due to her finger slice. Nope, they didn't find any blood on her phone, don't know if they actually did forensics on it, because she wasn't arrested for some time afterwards. I'm sure she used the water for cleaning up at some point. Good thoughts. Welcome to the forum. :welcome4:

Omo Platt is the psych who interviewed witness 1 MM

Interesting that he was number 1. That's the best they got?

Depends....

 

[Wing Ding]

Who's Witness #2? A friend of Carl's that confronted BJ after he supposedly beat her up?

Once again I'm trying to do the math here, and... didn't #Stabbi say in her double-secret testimony that she told her brother Carl about Bobby, and it was Carl and a bunch of his friends from high school who went to confront Bobby Juarez who then wielded the sword at them from his front porch? Now I read somewhere that Jodi told a cook at Denny's about Bobby and HE went to confront Bobby who then wielded the sword at him from his front porch?? Which is it? Why drag a fry cook from Denny's into her hot mess? She's a real piece of work.

 

[Dr. Know?]

There's loads of open land out here, especially on the highway JA took & you just go in the desert. Learned that about 40 years ago. No need for depends, but that depends...I guess. (snicker)

 

[Wing Ding]

So now she's Bipolar. IDK, but how many Bipolars stab their so called "lovers" 29 times and cut their throats in an attempt to behead them ? And why didn't the Dream Team DT have all of this figured out during the guilt phase. This is so beyond ridiculous.

The pond scum that is the defense team, with all their horsesh/t theories, ever-changing stories and slime ball tactics, are like rats scurrying around in a maze, confident they'll find that piece of cheese somewhere! And all they have to do is look up at Juan, smiling at them, holding that piece of cheese in his hand. "Looking for this?" lol

 

[LinasK]

Guess what! I was just watching a rerun of 48 hours on ID. The case is Bryan Stewart/Rick Valentini who murdered his girlfriend Jamie Laidee. Juan's the prosecutor and they interviewed him!!! They even showed Juan questioning the victim's mother and he is not aggressive at all, he's very gentle!
Got convicted of 2nd degree murder without a body and guilty of fraud for using her credit cards.

 

[Wing Ding]

She did. She left a bloody palm print on the hallway wall. There was also bloodstains left in the rental car, but they cleaned them thinking it was Koolaid.

Right. What I should have said was if she had any blood on her hands after she left Travis' house. But she probably showered after killing him, so she probably didn't even have blood on her hands at all when she left the house (except for a bloody left ring finger). Maybe the Costco trunk water was just to clean her cut finger before she got to the Hoover Dam checkpoint. Anyway...

The *advertiser censored* was supposedly found in the general downloads fine, NOT in a folder labelled TA.

These were the tweets I saw:

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ 7h7 hours ago Phoenix, AZ
Juan is suggesting witness #1 was looking at the child *advertiser censored* & Geff has to concede that witness #1 opened the folder & looked at the images

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ 7h7 hours ago Phoenix, AZ
Juan also points out witness #1 can describe these *advertiser censored* images in detail #jodiarias #3tvarias

Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer 7h7 hours ago
Martinez says that Witness 1 detailed descriptions of *advertiser censored* means he viewed them. Says he was afraid of discipline by church before wedding.

Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer 7h7 hours ago
There's a highly redacted clip of witness clarification onscreen with the word dishonest on it. Martinez says witness 1 was the *advertiser censored* viewer.

I'm guessing her Dad may have hired his son's friend? Students are cheap labour. I wonder if that's the same person that she referred to as having asked her out and how cocky she thinks short people are..

 

[Wing Ding]

Lol, well I'm still gonna say it, the floor mats from her rental car did not get returned, if that helps any...

Mystery solved! LOL!

And "ewww", btw! lolol
