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

[jojomonkey]

My word, she sounds like a first class psycho. Kicking a hole in the wall because someone won't switch shifts with her? What a drama queen!

I think it's beyond "normal" drama queen - this woman totally flips out when she's told "NO" and has to be in control of e every situation she's in. Can you imagine this monster as a child? Reminds me of that freaky video of Casey as a child - shudder.

At this point I kind of do feel for her mom - I think Jodi was a much stronger and bigger personality than her parents could handle. I think they walked on eggshells a lot very similar to the way Cindy and George parented Casey. She was a terrorist to her family for sure.

I've seen it before, some kids can be so headstrong and unbreakable that the parents are at a complete loss as to how to handle them. Punishments don't work with kids like this. I can see Jodi as a child remaining totally stone-faced if and when she was ever spanked. I would love someone in her family to come forward and throw her under the bus.

Hi Websleuths! Thanks for such a great site.

Hi peeps, and thank you for all the insight and sharing here. I found this site back in January when I quickly grew tired of the THs on TV avout this case, and made this the go-to place for info. Now when ask if new info disclosed on HLN is true, I check it out here!! (Yeah WS!!)

Jodie knows right from wrong. She had a plan and carried it out. She wanted to own Travis and probably thinks she does. I got news for her, what she did was take his life, but in doing so made the whole world aware of this young man, and now he is an inspiration to many. His desire to motivate and become all you can be, no excuses, is a legacy that even Jodie cannot take from him.

Justice for Travis!!! and may his family finally have peace after this murdering JA goes to her fate on DR, and Travis lives on in all our hearts! Go Juan!!

WELCOME!! Thanks for your great post!

I've given up trying to figure out JA's mind, but ALV's SHOULD be easier. But it's not.
Why would she risk a long, outstanding career, and her reputation of exemplarily help to those in need to testify on behalf of this piece of carp?
She's had enough experience with DV victims to know Arias is not among them - so.........why? I don't get it.
Any ideas?

Didn't she originally come on as a mitigation consultant? Maybe she's against the death penalty?

 

[Tabasco 1121]

I wonder if she shot him and he went down in the shower? He wasn't dead, he was able to get out, go to sink, maybe she's stabbing him in the back and head, then he turns around, she stabs him in the heart, on his knees trying to get away , final slash his throat. A person doing the throat slash takes time to cut through all the ligaments etc etc. I'm only guessing. How horrible.

I originally thought that her plan all along was to shoot him in the shower and leave him in there dead with no mess. Like you, and the ME's testimony, he was able to move somewhat after he was shot...addled...but maybe ambulant for a few minutes. But then, where did the knife come from? I can guess that she brought it for "back up". I can't finish this scene in my head.
:facepalm:

WELCOME to WS, Karraster!! You're right about Travis- may his legacy continue.

This is the picture that bothers me. (Hope it comes through. This is the first time I've tried to post one.)
Why would he be sitting down in such a small shower stall?

Dang. I can't get the image to post, but you all know the one I'm talking about.

needs to go just before http

just so ya know :)

 

[TotallyObsessed]

Newbie here. I've been lurking for awhile and joined recently. I'm glad you brought this up because someone on the IS FB page provided a link to the picture of Travis sitting in the shower and questioned the silver object in the bottom right hand of the photo. They wondered if it was the barrel of a 25. Has this been discussed previously? If so I apologize, but there's so much info on here I wouldn't know where to look. Here's a link to the picture.

Welcome. Apologize if this has already been answered.

That photo is a photo of a photo that show's JM's pen pointing to something.

 

[ILikeToBendPages]

That thing likes to kick, eh?

Morning all, Jodi said she took judo classes when she as younger. Maybe she was just practicing?

A doctor said modern gluten is the perfect poison!
Yes and 1 in 7 people have a gluten intolerance, 1 in 133 have celiac disease. Most aren't aware of it b/c they are misdiagnosed or don't have symptoms (there are 300 symptoms).
You have to cut it out completely though, then you will notice how it effects your body and not want to feel like poo so won't eat it.

It has been pretty easy for me to eat paleo and has helped.
Grass fed meats, organic veggies, fruits and nuts.
There are so many sites online for yummy recipes as well.



I wonder how the hearing is going in front of the other judge, hopefully we will hear soon.
T minus 1 hr 25 mins until the jurors are due back.

Yep, I cut way way back on carbs as well. The reason we see so much gluten intolerance these days, and in my opinion, why people are fatter than ever, is because the wheat we eat now is nothing like the wheat that was produced in the past. It's been genetically modified so that the gluten content is like 30 times higher than it was originally. Our bodies are unable to process that much at once, so side effects start...

I dont get it either but she must believe her or its $$. It's beyond me....

 

[RadarLuv]

The talking heads have consistently reported that ALV has never spoken with JA.

I know of no evidence which indicates that the two have ever met.

I believe that she has NOT talked to Jodi, but has be fully and thoroughly briefed on the entire case and every detail surrounding it, including TA family history, as we heard her refer to them yesterday.


This way, JM can't bust them for that.

She still is not relevant as any "EXPERT".

 

[minor4th]

Just snooping around in the case history and noticed that the judge did order Walmart and Tesoro to provide their records to the defense:

3/14/2013* ORD - Order - Party (001)* 3/18/2013* *
NOTE: THAT TESORO COMPANIES INC PROVIDE TO COUNSEL FOR MS.ARIAS THE DAILY TRANSACTION RECORDS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY AND ALL TRANSACTIONS THAT TOOK PLACE 06/06/08 IN THEIR STORE LOCATED @ 1699 W NORTH TEMPLE, SALT LAKE CITY UTAH.

3/14/2013* ORD - Order - Party (001)* 3/18/2013* *
NOTE: THAT WAL-MART INC PROVIDE TO COUNSEL FOR MS.ARIAS THE DAILY TRANSACTION RECORDS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY AND ALL RETURN TRANSACTIONS THAT TOOK PLACE 06/03/08 IN THEIR STORE LOCATED AT 1800 N MAIN SALINAS CALIFORNIA 93906

Off to visit mom in the hospital..... Have a wonderful afternoon everyone!

 

[FrayedKnot]

I've been wondering if she interviewed Arias for the SARA evaluation, and not a guestimate on Travis.

It appears neither DeMarte nor LaViolette can opine on Travis, but I haven't seen anything yet that says DeMarte cannot introduce a SARA on Arias. lease:

So, now does DeMarte testify for free since she is an expert witness for the prosecution? How does that work? Only DT has paid experts? Anyone know?

 

[crime cases addict]

If it's the barrel of a gun in the photo, she was holding the camera. No "accidental" photo there.

I am sure the police would have noticed also. If it is a gun you know JM will have a blowup of the picture on rebuttal.:twocents:

She has talked to Jodi. Juan has her notes from her interviews with Jodi.

For a counsellor and advocate reaching retirement age? $$$$$ ding!

 

[Myvice]

would there be any way to e-mail this to JM? (the pic of spidy underwear)

I would love to see Juan show the pic and say that maybe THIS is the pic Jodi saw that she thought was *advertiser censored*.

:welcome4::welcome3::welcome5:

everyone is very helpful to each other..

That's an ink pen.

 

[momof7]

Gee, I sure hope she had it saved to a flash drive or a cloud. I understand the concern of her notes getting "out there" but her file should be backed up elsewhere.

I would imagine that both the PT and DT have copies of anything she had done. They would need to prepare for her teestimony.

But I don'tknow that to be fact, just an assumption on my part.
