I don't know if I missed it or not, but did Juan ask Dr. D about CMJAs 18 page missive to travis's family?

I am not sure about that. She even admitted to TA that she acts out physically. And she KNEW she was lying in her phony journal. She did not think that was normal. She knew it was deceitful. I think that people say that those with BPD often learn to mirror 'normal' emotional behavior by mimicing others. That would mean they KNOW they are not normal themselves, imo.

And rabies is not a bad example of you think of the movie Cujo- that St. Bernard was infected with rabies, that was the premise of the movie.

Maybe AZ should send her to Texas death row. Texas has executed 3 females in the past 18 months. Just got a news alert that a male was executed tonight.
If a state has a death penalty it should be used
IMO some relationships are based solely on sex, and the sexual chemistry can be strong, almost irresistible. I think it depends on what really was said in the phone calls immediately prior to the visit, what state TA was in at the time, whether it's possible that he only agreed to let her visit with no intention of having sex, and whether her mere physical presence tipped his scale into mojo overload and he made another bad judgment. I don't see it as very likely that, with the photo evidence, they did not abstain that day.

The only reason JSS has allowed all the "bad stuff" about JA to come into this phase is that it rebuts all the "good stuff" the defense witnesses were saying in "mitigation." The jury gets to weigh aggravation vs. mitigation. Aggravation is ONLY the cruelty of the murder. If the jury decides that JM has sufficiently rebutted all the mitigation, then they won't weigh any mitigating factors against the cruelty. They will be instructed NOT to consider any of the "bad stuff" as additional aggravation.
Can we send 'ya Scott Peterson???
In California (different for other states- think it's the Baker Act in Florida), it's called being 5150'd, which is the Police code for it. Someone will call LE and they will cuff them and personally escort them by ambulance to a Psych Hospital for a 72-Hour emergency hold. The person must be a danger to themselves or others. I've personally witnessed it on more than one occasion. I think Jodi's family and Matt knew her threats weren't serious so noone bothered to call for a 5150 for her.
If she really wanted to off herself , she would of have did it the day she killed Travis. She chose to go grind Ryan. She uses the suicide card as one of her many manipulation tools.
Indeed. It's not an odd look - the beast shows its face. Stunning. I'll never forget it.
You can feel however you feel. It's not a simple situation.
Does it give you more to think about if you realize that anyone committing first degree murder would show problems on a psych test? No one kills their love interest out of an abundance of mental health and life balance.
Thank you, but this leaves me very confused. Why is it different in other states I wonder. And how in the world do you let something into evidence and then tell the jury not to consider it? That not only seems unfair to jurors but highly confusing.
All the other cases I have seen didn't even have to have good character evidence submitted by the DT for those things to be allowed into evidence by the state. After the conviction all the things that were deemed too prejudicial in the guilt phase were let in including any and all arrests and conviction records of past crimes. Also any other bad character flaws resulting in prior bad acts.
By this I interpret it to read the state can bring in the character of the defendant or ...propensities etc. It doesn't say it can only be done if the DT puts in character evidence first.
A.R.S. § 13-751(G). The trier of fact shall consider as mitigating circumstances any factors proffered by the defendant or the state that are relevant in determining whether to impose a sentence less than death, including any aspect of the defendant's character, propensities or record and any of the circumstances of the offense
I promise I am not being contrary.I really am trying to learn why it is different in AZ than from other cases I have seen in other states. And A.R.S 13-751(G) makes it even fuzzier for me to understand why.

See I still believe with every fiber of my being that Travis had ZERO clue Jodi was barreling down the highway headed for Arizona to "visit" him. I think she showed up unannounced that day/night and he just didn't, unfortunately, kick her out. And I also believe that she intended come hell or high water to have sex with him before she killed him not just to ensure he was vulnerable but it make sure he sinned right before he died and would not have time to repent. Yes I think she's that twisted.
