Sentencing and beyond- JA General Discussion #5

[Hope4More]

TA's Prius still had temporary registration plates on it when he was killed, and he bought the car the first week of March.

Wouldn't be surprised if she didn't put CA plates on a car she was about to "give back " to the bank.

Sorry, I forgot who had the thought she brought AZ plates with her- it wasn't me, but it makes total sense.

(ETA...you don't suppose she took TA's BMW tags??

I doubt it, it was towed to a shop before she left Mesa. I was pretty sure it was you who mentioned the AZ plates (sorry if that was incorrect), but now thinking about it, she may have had CA plates on the Infiniti, probably wasn't in AZ long enough and she didn't change her driver's license to AZ so she'd likely not have changed her plates either. But she did need to know what she needed to get the plates off the rental and back on again, which I've always thought she did the replacing in the desert, with little light and no one eyeballing her.

Turning myself in. I suggested the idea of her bringing the AZ plates. :blushing:

I agree, geevee. She probably always had CA plates -2ASCEND- while she was in AZ stalking Travis.

[/B]May 12. I never wanted to even go near a trial. That cannot be expressed enough.

[/B]

Only true thing the has ever said. For sure she never imagined she'd be caught, let alone convicted.

Clarification, Jodith: trials are what happen when you kill someone in cold blood. What you want has nothing to do with it.

As for expressing yourself? Keep talking: it never works out for you....

Here in California, you can keep your original license plate for as long as you own your car. The little, colored registration stickers on my plate go all the way back to 1995.

I never considered that Arias may have saved the Arizona plates off her soon-to-be-repo'd Infinity, but she very well may have. I'm sure there was plenty of room for them in that cardboard box of hers containing her SS card and that precious, porcelain angel.

But even if she didn't know exactly which screwdrivers, wrench and/or pliers to use for the job before she left Yreka, she had plenty of opportunity to figure it out after she rented the car in Redding. Heck, if she didn't want to draw attention to the matter at her sister's, or Matt's or Daryl's, she could have stopped at an auto parts place and bought the exact right tools for a few bucks, and then thrown the receipt in the trash.

Back to her Arizona plates... did she keep them as a memento of her Goddess-car, or is this where pre-meditation begins to take flight? Hmm...

She probably stole someone else's license plates and that's how she came up with the whole skateboarding gang story thingy. The theft part was true, not the context. She probably ripped them off at a Starbucks? Had MM help her in Santa Cruz by stealing a random set in the dark?

Great Questions on The Juan/Tricia True Crime thread guys. = ) I'll be tuning in w/ you 2nite to listen! I Hope he answers all questions asked.

Her driving license was still registered in CA, IIRC. Wouldn't she need an AZ license to get AZ tags?

I wonder how she afforded car insurance. Did she for sure have any? I'm thinking of all the references she made about tickets and speeding and TA telling her she was dangerous on the road because she always had her rear view mirror tilted so she could see herself, not traffic.

LOL It was bound to be one of us three (Muskateers?)

So fitting, JA Dirty Little Secret is on Lifetime tonight. :shame:

And didn't he mention 'insurance' once in a text about not wanting to drive other people in her car when she had his?

 

[geevee]

Oh, there's also a 1 hour 'Jodi Arias - Beyond the Headlines' on Lifetime Movies (same channel as DLS mentioned above and following after it) that has Det. Flores and Lawrence Kobilinsky sharing their thoughts on the case.

Of course it was Pocket...sorry for not remembering, co-muskateer.

I fed everyone, finished laundry, told everyone don't talk to me, don't look in my direction for the next couple of hours.

Hoping against hope that Mr. Martinez will answer some of the more pertinent questions that have been asked!

He really said that?

I figure she didn't have any insurance (or up-to-date inspection) and that's why she kept foisting her car on TA.

I stayed up all night the night before; one of my terrorist (indoor) cats escaped outside and couldn't be convinced until around 5AM to come back inside away from foxes and racoons and street-smart brethern cats.

At 10:15 PM last night I was sitting up in a comfy chair, phone literally in hand, volume turned all the way up, linked to TC Radio, and my phone alarm set to go off, just in case, at 10:30.

A chirpy chorus of song birds greeting dawn woke me up this AM, LOL, so I had JM's fine voice keeping me company while I made coffee.

My principle take-away from the interview is the realization that we sleuthers here are far more interested in the trees of the forest than is JM.

That man has a magnificent mind, a large heart, and unimpeachable integrity, but he just keeps on insisting that the forest is more important than the trees. Doesn't he realize that TreesLivesMatter?

So true. I was a little surprised that some of the answers were simpler than I had imagined.

I like how he mentioned that he censored himself and would not bring evidence into the trial if it was prejudicial evidence.

That's my biggest takeaway after reading his book and listening to umpteen interviews. He is clearly a very decent, honorable and humble person.

I have to keep reminding myself that --somehow-- this is the same person who has drawn virulent criticism for decades (Michael Kiefer, et al)?

I just don't get it...

I don't get it either Gigi, I remember back in the very beginning of the trial, some of my first thoughts about him were 'I could work for this man, love his attention to detail, thinking on his feet, never swayed or distracted or caught off guard, tough but not ill-tempered', I've never really understood some of the unkind comments I've seen and heard, and I bet those who spoke them would do anything to have a guy like him fighting on their side.

And Hope..LOL @ TreeLivesMatter! Like Flores said..."It's the details!'.

Such a great interview! Everyone contributed great questions.
