Right so basically they are saying she emailed jodi saying Travis was abusive?
I will believe it when I read them or hear it from the Hughes mouth.
This is the guy they told to ditch jodi and they didnt want her near their kids?? So she overheard,well when I say overheard I mean eavesdropped and had a hissy fit??

The email is just one piece of information from the Hughes in terms of Travis's relationship with JA. It may be that we see Skye on the stand.
When the Hughes first met JA, they were impressed in large part because Travis was happy. They cared very much about him. They talk about this in interviews.
From what we can gather, the Mormon culture of dating is very different from the mainstream. Singles are encouraged to date without becoming exclusive until they meet a suitable partner with marriage potential. Travis was approaching 30 and was very marriage minded. When ALv testified in court today about Travis' upbringing and counseling, these are dear friends talking to one another and yes, his upbringing would likely have some impact on interpersonal relationships.
Prior to the January email exchange, based on televised interviews, Skye related that JA had lengthy conversation with her about the relationship with Travis and how it wasn't going the way she wanted it to. Perhaps because of past relationships that didn't last, Skye as a woman was sympathetic to JA.
As time progressed, the Hughes became less comfortable with JA and saw her as the poisonous one in the relationship. Too clingy and inappropriate physical contact. They confronted him one night after JA had gone to bed and spoke for an hour and a half. Skye realized that JA was listening outside the door and motioned this to others. When the door was opened, JA gave them a look that frightened the Hughes enough to forbid Travis to ever bring JA to their home or anywhere near their children.
ALV is testifying to one point in time; as time progressed and with more information, the Hughes had an entirely different assessment of the situation.
I don't think this particular testimony is insurmountable.
