trial day 39: the defense continues its case in chief #116

[Angelina Frost]

I may have to steal your line...with your kind permission. That is fabulous, and so true.:rocker:

Absolutely.

 

[Stolat]

Was the faith what connected her to Ryan Burns?

Yes...faith that he'd be a good sucker for an alibi

 

[JRS_JD2L]

"So deeply in love with him"...but NOT his girlfriend?

Yes, kind of in a "I will not be ignored, Travis" kind of deep love.

 

[Beccaboo]

Is this for real? I feel like I'm in "Groundhog Day"... or He!! :boohoo:

:floorlaugh: BBM I said those extact words to my hubby about 2 minutes ago

 

[Softail]

:doh: Well duh she likes the trips. I could have told you that!

 

[katiedid2]

Have any of you ever seen attorneys drag on and on repeating over and over?
New nickname pete and repeat.

 

[SheltieMom1]

I am baffled at how this witness and DrS seem to be treating this like they have a personal stake in it. I don't think I've ever seen expert witnesses "try so hard" or seem to be so invested.

They're invested alright, to the tune of $250-300 per hour of testimony, plus additional for research and interview and preparation time. Gah!

 

[Horace Finklestein]

Trips are so fun unless TA tries to lighten her backpack, then it's crazy anger on her part.

 

[Tipstaff]

So now the witness is again speaking for TA. " He does trips 'really well' and she knows this HOW?

 

[Kensie]

With every person that has gone over this stupid journal, we about have it memorized.
Why are we beating a dead horse????

 

[scmom]

"They, they, they" She doesn't know squat about "they" except what the DT is paying her to know.

 

[KMouse]

ALV: "they do trips really well", "it's a strong point in their relationship".

Yeah Alyce, like one time at band camp where JA drove over 1000 miles to slaughter Travis?

 

[momtective]

This woman talks about this stuff like she was actually there! How is it that this is allowed?

 

[wenwe4]

May 2007 to June 2007 - ALV said JA and TA were still in a relationship and still a couple. ALV reviewed JA's journals and emails. . . . June 5, 2007 diary entry -

ALV discusses JA writing about TA experience and his testimony about eternal fathers and his own father . . .what it meant to JA for someone so strong and jovial that it touched her heart that he was so sweet - touched her spiritually and she realized she was deeply in love with TA.

she have any misgivings? . . . impressions she has begun to feel suspicious - tA has been flirtatious with other women and there have been times he did not introduce her to other females . . . .

what are your impressions TA make her feel better . .. both feel lucky to be with each other . . . she thinks that really great.

significance of this particular writing - she is feeling insecure and she reassured . . . she is bonded spiritually . . . they are connected thru faith . . .spirituality.

another writing Jun 10 2007 journal writing . . . ALV recalls this journal writing . . . impressions? about time they go out for karoke - JA sings My Guy for TA . . . he likes it and appreciates her singing ability. . . . her using this talent to make an impression on TA and she feels special with TA . . . he has made her feel more special than anyone in her life. . . this is one example

significance: . . . feeling special is really important thing - we get into relationship - connecting place for relationship and further bonds together . . . .JA further bonded to TA

in June JA finds out TA was being unfaithful to her . . . JA became suspicious . . confessing she looked@ his text messages = numerous texts sexual in content - setting up future and previous rendezvous with other women . .. . they were planning a trip and she didn't want to ruin the trip so she didn't bring it up right away . . . she texted this other woman and said "Jodi cuddling with TA" . . .

June diary she is writing about suspicions . . . she looked @ texts on TA's cell. . . she wants to enjoy the trip and doesn't want to throw a monkey wrench into trip - she waits to confront him until after trip.

they enjoy trips - a strong point in their relationship . . .

 

[JusticeJunkie]

Nothing bad about Travis, though, right??? That's what JA said!
She said she NEVER wrote anything bad about Travis.

How can ALV possibly tell that story, and not see the stalking behavior of her own client?

 

[bexlex]

I wish the Hughes' would stop talking to anyone, they're obviously watching the trial. It's been mentioned here and on FB which I am sure the DT are monitoring, so that pretty much means they will be exposed if they get on the stand as unreliable witnesses, which is sad because perhaps they had something they could have shared that would have helped restore Travis' good name.

I've yet to see anyone post a conclusive link.... it's all "I hear". I truly doubt they are communicating to anyone. Someone claiming falsehoods on FB doesn't equal proof.

 

[Horace Finklestein]

Isn't snooping the text messages stalking behavior?

 

[Arishia]

"She looked at his text messages" aka she snuck onto Travis' phone while he wasn't watching it and then began to threaten other females he had called.

But that was spontaneous and she felt embarrassed about it, so it's ok.
ETA: She said she was embarrassed and felt bad about slaughtering Travis, so that's ok too?

 

[Wolfpack Fan]

I can't stand listening to JW or ALV!! I'm sick of both of them and Nurmi!!! I might stop watching until Juan is up for cross.

 

[SweetT]

Hell Yea she's not gonna say anything prior to the trip..She didnt want to give up a free Trip FGS!
