Sure, a circle of manipulation.

Does anyone else feel Juan should have used this witness to ask questions such has had he ever seen bruises on her or ever see Travis raise his voice with her ?
Since she is claiming self defense just feel Juan should have used this witness to discredit her claim. JMO

That hasn't been claimed yet in evidence, only in opening statements.
The PA can only ask about areas covered by the particular witnesses's testimiony on the cross.

I did wonder if the DT would be alluding to that with the high neck, long sleeves line of questioning, as opposed to her being sexuallly provactive in manner and dress, but they did not follow through with that line of questioning.

I dont know if I will be able to stomach IS when Jean Casarus is on. She is on her defending the defendant blah blah blah and trying to build the defense attorneys and the defense witnesses up just like when she jumped into the pocket of Mason and is still hanging on.:furious:

 

[JSR]

Exactly!

Remember what Gus said yesterday (or Chris Hughes said he said) he had information that could blow this case wide open. It could hurt her or help her... free her or fry her. Ummm really?

Not one person on that jury is going to think it was ok nor innocent for a grown, married, much older, not very attractive balding old man, to offer to have a beautiful young woman he was 'mentoring' (who by the way wasn't even in GS underline or whatever they call it) to have her come stay at his 'motorhome' for a day, night, and a day- especially after a break up with a boyfriend.

Talk about the shark going after the kill. Rebound anyone. He looks like the dirty old man that he is, I can guarantee it.

Hmmm, interesting... meeting her in Pasadena for 10 minutes to give her a phone in between dropping off his children at school and picking them up.

Yorba Linda to Pasadena is about a 30 minute drive. So, an hour drive for a 10 minute meeting! Why didn't he just overnight her the phone, that's what most people would do.

I wonder if his wife knew about the visit Jodi made to his motorhome to spend the night, or the gift of the phone?

If this is all they got then they are screwed- which I already knew they were but this is some solid proof now.

The drive from Yorba Linda to Pasadena is more like an hour, WITHOUT traffic. It's a nightmare with traffic.

Well it sure started out dismal for the defense.

Don't you think the defense was hoping he would give them information that would support their theory of TA as abusive? And then all he really did was to promote himself. I think the Dt and Pt both feel this guy was a toal waste of court time. I feel the jury must be scratching their heads about now.

I think somewhere in storage JA has a box full of digi cam memory cards full of all sorts of "interesting" photographs. As a "photographer" I'm sure she loved capturing her "subjects" and "memories". Maybe her mother will put those up on Ebay at some point. I'll have to burn my eyes.

I agree. I like Beth Karas so much. But Jean gets on my last nerve.

Not only is he the "Lord of the Rings" but I think that would make him the "Circle Jerk".

Risky though because this witness may lie and say he did ..or he may actually have seen bruises on Jodi, and you don't want the jury to attribute that to Travis by implication.

Since this court has banker's hours I will miss this afternoon.....post away folks and hopefully I can read here tonight!!!

Unless I missed something?

And she was so afraid of him that she went to see him.

Look at it this way... He said he was there when she got the phone call from TA and JA went outside to talk to TA on the phone. IF TA was the abuser she is saying he is, She wouldnt have went outside to talk to him. She would have sat right there with Gus for PROOF that he was abusive toward her. Right? Where are all of her witnesses to the abuse? Obviously Gus wasn't one of them.

 

[Martin L]

Very good points/questions.

Welcome.

Thank you

I guess Jodi is a better time manager.

Keep in mind Travis was hit in the heart, shot in the head and had his head almost cut off. Three fatal wounds.
Two of which the ME testified would have rendered him unable to put up any sort of purposeful fight.

She also had a secure space and a slippery surface on her side. ...edit to say, and a gun.

[tsitra01]

I am so tired of hearing J Casarez (sp) get her hair all in a wad because the Prosecutor raised his voice at Gus, the swarmy witness who was side tracking questions.
She apparently was not listening to testimony but was jumping on a jury member who was, regarding the question about Mr. Hughes. Very good question considering he did not mentor ones on Mr. Hughes team.
I'll take comments from Beth over Jean anyday.

 

[minor4th]

I think the defense is just trying to put on witnesses who had some kind of relationship with Jodi and didn't hate her or have anything bad to say about her -- to try to humanize her somewhat and let the jury believe that she was not universally hated and shunned.

I'd be lying if I said it didn't enter my mind. :innocent:

Is it just me or does this German-ish sounding expert here look surprised to anyone else? (On In Session)
