Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - Day 26

[MeeBee]

Don't know how to feel about last one. Sounds like they want a straight answer on it. Can't really be both.

 

[Ricki]

His I don't know and I don't remember answers will make the jurors doubt his credibility even more.

@TrialDiariesJ: Why does Jodi use T-Dogg and Travis in the records
Geff- It was the macho part of him #jodiarias #3tvarias

Jodi did, but nobody else really did. The Defense trying to use this against Travis was immature and nauseating. The jury caught it.

 

[My-Future-Ex-Husband]

@TrialDiariesJ: I understand the cycle of abuse but how is Jodi choosing to hang out and continue to have sex
Geff- That is the cycle #jodiarias #3tvarias

I hope he just insulted a DV survivor with that answer, if you know what I mean.

@TrialDiariesJ: Do records show other significant things that happened she didn't journal on?
Geff- It's not a blow by blow its a summary #Jodiarias

His word choices are in extremely poor taste. SMH

 

[Frigga]

One thing I can guarantee is they certainly aren't going to be pleased with most of the good doctors answers to their questions. They are as dishonest and evasive as his testimony. That won't sit well. He's an idiot- he should be thoughtful and honest. Keep it up Geff!

 

[MeeBee]

@TrialDiariesJ: Did you find anywhere a supported documentation of the DV from Travis
Geff- Just Jodi's word #jodiarias #3tvarias

I think they want the defense to pick one...they've tried to lay it out both ways, Kwim?

 

[GigiG]

I wear contacts normally, but if I want people to believe I'm sick (say because I wanted a mental health day from work and claimed it was for a physical illness) I wear my glasses. Glasses always do the trick to make me look less all put together, especially because I don't wear them much except at night so they make my eyes look red and tired after a few hours. I'm sure CMJA is using glasses for the same effect.

If you look at some pics of JA when she was a blonde, her eyes were a different (lighter) color, i.e. not soulless black. I think she might have previously worn contacts...

 

[LinasK]

Oh wait, she messed up! Black is the color of death and she meant to wear PURE white!

She must've thought she was in Bali, apparently for them white is the color of mourning.:doh:

 

[BritsKate]

One thing this jury has certainly realized based on these questions...

Jodi lies. (Like at least 3 questions looking for independent corroboration now.)

I am jumping for joy- literally jumping! My kids are all like- what????

 

[AngelWings444]

I think it is ok. They are questioning her having PTSD. It's ridiculous for her to claim PTSD from her doing the killing. DeMarte will clear it up. There is no PTSD. She based it on a lie and maybe it's an old question?

 

[MeeBee]

I hope he just insulted a DV survivor with that answer, if you know what I mean.

Right. Jodi was not trapped in a cycle. She had complete freedom. She moved closer to him then was free to move away with no resistance from him. It is ridiculous for them to say this. They didn't even live together.

 

[Hope4More]

@TrialDiariesJ: Is Jodi's PTSD centered around the murder or relationship with TA as a whole
Geff- She's experienced a lot of DV from childhood and w/ BF

Not loving this one. ETA...see reassurances up thread.

The best part is these questions are coming before JM even has a turn. Wow.

 

[MeeBee]

@TrialDiariesJ: In your expert opinion and review of records did DV physical abuse take place?
Geff- Yes #jodiarias #3tvarias

Don't like this one. Foreman asked a similar one of ALV.

 

[MeeBee]

@TrialDiariesJ: It may seem to common lay person this could be a consequence of committing the murder. Are there symptoms for Jodi's problems pre murder?

 

[NashBridges2]

Not loving this one.

Really? I think it's showing that they can't have it both ways, like the defense wants us to believe. Pick one or the other.

 

[KPinMN]

We have some bright ones on this jury! Hopefully one of them will be a persuasive foreperson

@TrialDiariesJ: On 12/18/14 the Dr testified on a journal entry it was powerful to her TA yelled at her and it violated her Laws of Attraction.#jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: Why was this powerful but the DV wasn't enough to write about it
Geff- Some sinks into journal #jodiarias #3tvarias
