Salacious and confidential items were not what I was looking for. If you go back and read what I actually wrote you'll see that.
I think it was because he was unable to write about anything that is still under seal..
Was hoping he'd put something out after they unsealed everything... Either way, he seems fairly private, and unbiased towards the most provocative details on JA - concentrating on the most case-breaking pieces of data and sticking to that personal armory.
Unfortunately for some of us :websleuther: , we have unturned practically every stone. The True Crime interview - wasn't there some interesting guesswork as to what was on those receipts? JM laughed it off as he'd never have put that much critical effort into them, think he had enough to deal with as it was, seeing as how she left half of her body's DNA at the scene and everyone in AZ could testify as to how much of a freak she really was...
Granted her trial took forever to get scheduled because of the 'Defense's' tactics, but JM seems good as long as he context in hand - motive, physical evidence, zero alibi, strong witnesses to defendant's deviance, expert witnesses for anything the jury may help in understanding... I don't think he has our sleuthing mentality, he'll only speculate so far as to put forward a (granted, spectacular) case.
Nurmi's book was more salicious... He gave away more tidbits about her personality than I think I figured he would... never purchased his book, only came across all his quotes from either here or Twitter. It was insane.. but at the same time, I am glad I didn't have to hurl my dinner right out... he commiserates endlessly with himself.
I thought Nurmi provided some insight into his client's manipulative, attention seeking brain. Her recorded jail calls berating her mom. He told the defense team he thought if Jodi walked out of the jail there would be 20 men waiting for her with roses, each thinking they were her one true soulmate.
Got into Houston early this morning, loaded truck full of groceries to take by a flooded senior apartment complex. Still high water and fixing to rain again.
Mother is making chicken and dumplings for lunch after I clean up the branches etc that fell during the storm. Then taking everyone to College Station for Aggie Muster this evening.
Perhaps, although the things he didn't include that he could have (and that I think I and others wanted) were things like how he felt at certain points, his relationship with Flores (not just as LE and prosecutor, but as 2 people who became friends and how this case transformed them). He didn't touch upon his relationships with anyone (forget JA). None of those things would be appeal issues, but there was a human element missing in this book that I kept wanting. He never really addressed the obvious disdain he and the defense team shared, the circus-like atmosphere in which he found himself and how he coped. In the end the book just felt heavily edited and clinical, for lack of a better word.
Stay safe Texy, it's coming down in droves here now, hopefully it'll be like yesterday and only last a half hour or so (for the heavy stuff).
I can smell the chicken and dumplings way over here. lol
OMG!!! Just got the news that my DH is going to be meeting ONE on ONE tomorrow with the presidential candidate he's been working so hard to support!!! WOW!!! The Secret Service is screening his background as I write this. WOW
Just checked Twitter for the grandmother news and saw a new tweet announcing that the will be voting in this election. Vicariously. :hilarious:
Still the same . I imagine that after her appeals are denied she'll be tweeting that she's won her appeal. Vicariously.
Wow!!
Congratulations to your DH and you - I know you worked so hard to assist your Dh!!
Thank you.
I'm so thrilled for DH--and can't wait to see a selfie of the two.
DH may or may not get elected next week as a pledged delegate, but this is even more of a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity.
Hey y'all...how do I post a video....? Whenever I do it just puts a link...
sorry, I have no idea. What site/source are you trying to upload from?
My DS says you have to have a YouTube account to upload videos....do you have one?YouTube. Sitting in the hotel in College Station waiting for Aggie Muster and I'm bored. Bout to go to Fargos BBQ though

Nope. The only clues: DH isn't paying a penny for the privilege, and the thank you the candidate wants to tell him in person isn't just or mostly for DH's leadership and support (though that's how candidate X knows about him), but for DH's service to the country as an Army vet.
