Just bringing some items over from previous thread:

Dec. 9th 2007 was when CMJA reported in her journal about TA watching for the "slasher" which is also around the 2 incidences. June '08 was when Lisa was contacted during the investigation of the murder about it. There is also a LE report for the December slashings.
I brought up the "stun gun" scenario because there was questions about how "little ol' CMJA' could have had the "drop" on "big ol' TA" in the shower during the first trial. One of those mysteries that may never be fully known. Doesn't have anything to with this trial, just one of those "what if" things that could explain some of "foggy" areas of the murder.
She denies slashing his tires but admits to stabbing Travis 29 times and cutting his throat. She says "tomatoe", I say "tomato". She's very adept with a knife.
BTW: Stun guns and Tasers were only available online and at Gun Stores in the mid 2000's. So where did CMJA get her stun gun? Doesn't effect this trial, but it may show that she had a bit more experience with "weapons" than she admitted too.
As far as showing TA in a negative light through her journals:
TA and JA were official for apprx. 5 months. (Feb-June 2007) TA was in mesa, CMJA was in Yrecka. CMJA moves to Mesa about a week after their "breakup".
Jan 2008: CMJA reports she's spent over a year cultivating their relationship.(whaaaaattt?) Travis is "cheating" on her. CMJA loves TA more now than when they were dating. She continually goes back and forth about wanting to marry TA and NOT wanting to.
CMJA is hanging around in Mesa as a "friend with benefits" or a "*advertiser censored** buddy"<-----seriously, that kind of arrangement has been going on for eons. Travis CAN'T be "cheating" on her because they are no longer "dating" as of June 2007. He is NOT having sex with anyone BUT CMJA. Not one ex-GF AFTER CMJA said they were in a sexual relationship with TA. If you had a "F w/B" relationship, you'd want, if not NEED to know if your "friend" was having sex with other people because of STD's. Maybe CMJA was insinuating to TA that that's what she WAS doing to make him angry?
Most women believe sex = love.
Many men believe sex = sex.
The defense has NEVER shown where CMJA got all this money she was "loaning" to TA. Wish someone would have pulled her W-2's for 2006/2007/2008. I don't think she had any real means of money other than scamming and "borrowing" money off others or the "kindness of strangers". If CMJA and TA HAD a joint account, I would imagine it was TA trying to help CMJA get financially on track.
PTSD? Ok, doc, what are her "triggers' and "anniversaries"? Anyone with PTSD has them: smells, dates, seasons, visuals, audio, specific people and environment........come on, Dr. Geff, you gave the diagnosis, follow through with it........................oh right, you can't because CMJA doesn't have it. :facepalm:
CMJA's journal sounds like the "Diary of a Mad Woman", ie. someone who *believes* there's a lot more to this relationship than there really is.
But does any of this have anything to do with "Mitigating Factors"? Uh, no. :thinking:
CMJA murders Travis 1 year after they have broken up. What kind of individual does that? I think the jury will see CMJA is incredibly jealous and manipulative (Go De Marte with the BPD!!!!), whether they give her Death, LWOP or hung......I don't think any of them will believe she ever belongs in society.:jail:
Juan will get this mitigation back on track, when ever that happens, oh say, in April 2015? If all he did was play the "48 Hour Mystery" episode and her post sentencing interview with Troy Hayden, the jury would feel insulted that CMJA and the DT tried to feed them a line of BS.
JMO.:truce:
BBM The defense is "showing"/trying to "show" that TA was manipulating poor, delicate , cuddly
and therefore, abusing her (one of her new mitigation factors). Pfttt
