I love Juan Martinez. I have the biggest prosecution crush on him in the whole wide world. BUT....
One thing that annoyed me during the trial and I'd like to talk to him about or tell him is that -- jodi was right about the shaving picture.
That part of the trial drove me mad when we had to listen to her on that interrogation tape over and over and over..."It took a lot of convincing, prior, when he was shaving...."
I looked at it the other night, and so I looked it up in my ebook to see if he wrote about it. He explained it that same way. He said Travis was shaving on June 4th when Jodi convinced him to take shower photos.
What do you all think of that? I believe she shifted topics and started telling Flores about the shaving pic, the one that she claimed he used as his myspace profile picture.
If JM is right, that would mean she put that shaving picture on his myspace profile AFTER the murder. Could she have done that? Did any friends tell JM that the picture hadn't always been on the MS profile? Or did she take these shaving pics of Travis in January 2008 like she said?
At the beginning of February, she did take those office pictures.
Does anyone think Travis was shaving on June 4th, prior to the shower photos?
JM made very few errors, in my opinion. I was 99.98% with him, but .001% was what he was saying about the shaving photos, and .001% had to do with the rope.
I don't know what those fibers were, but I vote pill fringe, carpet fringe, or fringe from TA's flipflops. I couldn't imagine a rope long enough to tie her up with that has threads that are also twisted in addition to them all being twisted together. Hope that made sense how I said it.
JA only made up the story about the rope because the fibers were found there, so I believe they MUST have to do with the murder or why would she had bothered to make up the whole rope story? Lie for the sake of lying? Why not just say, dude, I have no idea about those micro ropes? But then, I think that they would have tested the carpet or the fibers from the pillow fringe--well, I would have thought so until they said they didn't fingerprint test the actual shower, that is.
