trial day 37: the defense continues its case in chief #109

[Allyne Smithe]

How can this woman be a practicing psychotherapist without a license?:waitasec:

She's a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, not a psychotherapist.

 

[gngr~snap]

She is one sick puppy! :furious:

Also, to add to the boy's underwear lie. She said Travis bought her a pair of little boy underwear. There is no way this woman could have fit her bottom into a pair. I am very small and I have trouble fitting into a small men's pants(like an athletic pant - no stretch). Women have hips and most mens clothes are made straight because that is how they are built. Jodi had hips/curves at the time she was with Travis. Little boys --- NO WAY!

She probably did catch Travis "looking" at that picture and CRYING!!!
Psycho would even be jealous of his dead father because he still loved and missed him IMO

HOW sick can she get?????

 

[scorpio24]

For those paying attention we realize by now, sprinkled within the web of lies there lays (lies?) some twisted truth.

I personally thought Jodi's redundant proclamation to Travis' enjoyment to Spiderman might've come from her ex (much older) boyfriend Daryl's son. I thought perhaps this little 10 year old boy was seen wearing such clothing and Jodi took that truth, twisted in the lie, then called it her own.

But now.....here is a photo of Travis wearing the exact underwear that Jodi is using against him. I hope Mr Martinez sees this as I have, and uses it somehow to remind the jury just how sick and dangerous Jodi Ann Arias is in this world.
I sincerely means this when I say it: Death will be a step up in Jodis' spiritual evolution because her soul is stuck on scary here on Earth!

I swear, I'm going back to her MySpace page to make sure The Usual Suspects isn't listed as one of her favorite movies! JA is JUST LIKE Kevin Spacey's character! Just weaves a twisted story around whatever is available! :furious:

:giggle: We must be on the same schedule: check the news, post and read WS.

You forgot :coffeecup:

I heard 10 years old on one of the HLN shows last night - but I had read the message his grandmother left on the memorial site, where she says she was grateful to have had him with her since he was 8 years old.
I'm thinking his grandmother knew better about that, but it's possible she might not have had official custody, or not known he was there for good until he was a little older. I suppose it's also possible she made a mistake about how old he was - but Grandma's usually right (at least mine always was - I didn't appreciate that until she was gone).
I hope that helps, for what it's worth. I've been confused about this too, so if somebody knows for sure, please feel free to correct.

Thanks!!

I just re-read his blog and he states he ran away from home when he was 10 and never went back. So I'm assuming he stayed with his grandmother after that.

Do you have a link where I can view this memorial site?

Thanks gngr~snap !!

I found this, and I am assuming this is another picture of little Travis as a child. I can't find a smilie for crying, or I would insert it here.

Pamela Elizabeth Morgan Alexander
1953-2005

 

[Hopeful One]

I wonder if it's not the right person? In this obit, she doesn't list being preceded in death by Travis, which I find a little strange if she raised him.

 

[sammie]

I am guessing...but the link said she was a psyh assistant. It may be when she went for advanced degrees..that licesne would no longer be applicable. I had a friend who was a licesed social worker. Her record showed her licesned was 'cancelled." However, she earned a PH.d in pschy and was licesned under a different section. Also some master's level counselors call themselves pscholtherapists but do not have Ph.D. part of her

She does not have an advanced degree. But she does have her license as a marriage and family therapist.

My DH still works part-time and often from home since he retired. I have been retired 13 years and have done a lot of full-time trial watching. Prior to that, I taped the OJ trial and any other trial that caught my eye. Summer vacations were for trial-watching with housework done during breaks and lunch.

So, he's used to it and very understanding. Sometimes, he gets interested in a case because I'll fill him in on the basics. Now, when he's home, he still follows some of them lightly. This one, he will not touch! He does ask sometimes why I am hollerin' my loudest at the screen!

Other than that, he is getting cooking lessons and I have a large stash of pre-cooked meals in the big freezer downstairs. He now knows how to heat them up. He's up for delivery when I don't have the energy to put a meal together.

When people ask me what I do, I tell them I'm a retired educator and my present avocation is trial watching. Starts a lot of good conversations!

We even plan our vacations around trials. In this case, we put off our cruise until the middle of June, just in case!

I'm so pleased I married him. But, I do understand how trial watching can cause marital strife. I'm glad you both ended up laughing!

I am very fortunate to have the adorable easy going hubby I do. He has always made sure he is interested in my hobbies like I am his. While he still works fulltime and I've been retired the last four years he always ask me about the case I'm watching at the particular time. I use to watch live trials a lot but only get interested in one or two big cases a year now.

He usually doesn't watch them with me. He doesn't like the TH shows either but if I want to watch them then he just goes and watches TV in another room.

However due to the time difference in the trial and us living on the east coast when he comes in from work its still in progress so he began to watch the evening portion with me about a month ago. He said the reason he likes to watch is because of Juan Martinez and finds him to be a great Prosecutor. He has his hard set opinions about the DT of course.

We have come to talk about Travis as if he was our own loved one. We both are so horrified that this could happen to this young man with so much promise. He cant stand Jodi and neither can I so we aren't at odds about the case whatsoever. We both want her to receive the death penalty because she is so deserving of it.

So all is good at Ocean's home.

I think it is normal to just list your children and the number of grandchildren. There are too many to list.

No, Pamela Alexander was Travis' MOTHER

Norma was his Grandmother, who I believe passed away in 2008/2009??

I love your hubby!! He sounds a lot like mine (we are beyond blessed, aren't we??) but I still can't get him interested in the trial. He has started asking me questions though but I think it's just to pacify me.

I'm seeing things to this effect all over this board...can anyone offer any details? I tried to find it, but came up empty handed.

Who initiated this and when? The defense in response to JD's SARA assessment and then the state in response to the ruling?

I'd like to know exactly what may not be allowed, because it would seem as if this strategy may backfire with the jury. They are expecting an expert to offer an opinion and when none comes, they'll be wondering "what was that all about?"

Testimony yesterday stirred up a lot of memories and made it hard to fall asleep last night. : (

12/7/12 minutes (http://www.courtminutes.maricopa.gov/docs/Criminal/122012/m5544446.pdf
Defendant’s Motion in Limine to Preclude Dr. Demarte’s Conclusions Pursuant to “SARA” is discussed.
IT IS ORDERED setting the matter for Oral Argument on 02/08/2013 at 1:30 p.m

2/7/13 minutes http://www.courtminutes.maricopa.gov/docs/Criminal/022013/m5626597.pdf

Court Reporter, Jovanna Roman, is present.
Counsel present argument on timeliness as stated on the record.
Alice Laviolette, appearing telephonically, is sworn and testifies.
The witness testimony being concluded, the telephone call is terminated.
IT IS ORDERED denying the State’s Motion in Limine.

Still can't pull together the whole picture here.

Right, I was going off another obit that someone posted. TA wasn't listed as preceding her in death (the grandmother, if it's the right person), which I found odd.

I know, I was referring to another obit posted by another poster.

Here is his grandmother's obit ~

She died Feb 10 2005
Travis was alive.
