Many of Travis' journals disappeared when he died. All those words handwritten into a journal for anyone to cut and paste into a template and then retrace onto paper or however creative the person could have been to make up the letter JA wanted to use. JA felt it was so important to make a copy of it but did not feel that "keeping" the original was important. Who would do that unless the original was something you wanted to hide.
If the witness is Deanna JA would only want to torment DR on the stand because she feels she could. I can't imagine how Deanna would have anything to do with the penalty stage of this trial. Can anyone think of what witnesses JA would want to call?

Jodi wants Deanna on the stand. This is the woman Travis truly loved. Jodi wants to harass her as much as Judge Stephens will allow. This is truly a bad idea for Jodi but if this helps sign her death warrant, so be it. She asked for it, she'll get it...what a sociopath....is my belief
Isn't Deanna the one that Nurmi tried to get to admit she was abused by Travis or touched in some inappropriate way. Jodi would get her jollies out of that.
Was it a relative?
I want to know what the jury will be allowed to consider in deliberations. My understanding is that they will have to be apprised of what occurred in the guilt phase, not the entire proceedings but more than just telling them she was found guilty. So...if all they can by law consider is what is brought up in the penalty phase (which will obviously have to include some of what went on in the guilt phase) can they consider any unanswered questions they might have regarding the guilt phase? Basically, if things are brought up in this retrial that show how this is a DP case but those things are not elaborated on any more than necessary, can the jury ask for further elaboration or are they just stuck having to deal with unanswered questions about something that occurred in the guilt phase but was brought up in the penalty phase?
Sorry if this is confusing. I guess I want to know what kind of jury instructions might rule this retrial.
Could there be a mistrial due to ineffective counsel?One of the things that has concerned me all along is that the defense would basically try to "retry" the entire trial. I still don't understand exactly how this retrial is going to work. Even for the prosecution, I don't see how JM can show that Jodi deserves the death penalty without going into the planning, etc. involved in the murder.

Wasn't Jodi kicking and screaming about not hearing the "sex tape" in the courtroom?
"...A polar vortex (if were allowed to call it that when its not winter) across the Great Lakes and into the interior Northeast during mid-to-late September, says Paul Pastelok, Accuweathers lead long-range forecaster.
El Nino will bring moisture to the southwest and Texas in the fall. But no drought relief for California, according to Accuweather. The National Weather Service says expect below-average temperatures in southern Texas in the November-to-January period...."
