trial day 39: the defense continues its case in chief #117

[shane13]

Anyone know how many days all told so far ALV has testified and how many more she is expected to testify?

 

[FrayedKnot]

So juror 5
Liked Jodie, tried to coach her? If so why get rid of her?

Why do we assume the DT was the one demanding her exit?

Perhaps JM saw something hinky, or the Judge got wind of some impropriety.

<modsnip>

 

[AlanCFA]

I hope the ejection off the jury island makes the remaining survivors all the angrier at JA.

I don't. Jodi is guilty of murder, but she should be judged based on the evidence. A juror's ejection should neither benefit nor hurt any defendant, not even Jodi.

 

[thefragile7393]

But other places don't effect ALV's almighty pocketbook.

Maybe...but maybe not. When I see stuff like that it makes me want to see if what the critics say is true in the pages of the book or not. so i may actually buy it to see....or at least see if the library has it. I am contrary like that though.

The DT filed a motion. It has been posted.

 

[Pensfan]

Wow...do you think that was an early attempt by JA supporters to get rid of this woman?

Absolutely.

 

[Sulamith]

That's what I'm curious about too. Jodie said her parents didnt have alot of money. I wonder how are they affording lodging?
I highly doubt anyone's opened up their home to them. And since ebay is no longer displaying her art for sale. It's not cheap living in a hotel,including meals.

IDK how JA's family is affording lodging. Does anybody know if the Mormon church/Relief Society has opened up homes/contributed $$ toward the Alexander familly. I see Tanisha is a temple Mormon now, don't know if the other six siblings converted to Mormonism. The Mormon church is very wealthy and I hope TA's family gets some contributions towards motel rooms from the Mormon church.

 

[TXHoney]

I remember that too. That's really odd that she's booted now for supporting the prosecution. Maybe she was trying to give Jodi incorrect clues? That would be pretty brazen. Hmm.

As backwards as the DT seems to see everything, I'm sure that they would perceive an involuntary "no way" shaking of the head as an attempt to throw Jodi or the other jurors off. I've done that no way headshake many times myself since watching this trial.

 

[ctmom]

BTW
Did jodi ever return the gas cans to darryl?

 

[Nhic]

Believe it or not you have just described the state of our Mental Heath System. Even if Sandi knew Jodi's condition at an early age...There is NO WHERE to turn for help.

Hard to believe in this day of pharmaceuticals for every ache, pain, and sore toe that JA couldn't have been prescribed something to control her rages or other psycho behavior.

 

[DairyGirl]

That's it, he said she has "other" or "several" personality disorders. I'm sure I remember him saying that because at the time I thought WHOA why isn't Juan asking him to elaborate?

He said something like she has a personality disorder not otherwise specified. Which to me meant he better not specify that that disorder was likely anti social personality disorder.

 

[SheltieMom1]

I don't know why but I think she hates both of her parents and has for a long time. She cant really love anyone. Psychopaths aren't capable of bonding and loving someone. If she didn't get her way she probably raged. When they enabled her things were fine but when they didn't it was hell to pay in that family.

IMO

Hmmm, sounds like a young lady from Orlando...

 

[Dum-Dum Sucker]

Why is Jodi wearing a sweater? It was @90º in Phoenix today.

Scratches from her feral cat???

Oh,,,wait............

 

[TXHoney]

And JA is as happy as can be tonight with all the points she thinks she's scored. In fact, she may be right and we may all have egg on our faces a few weeks down the road. She might have lucked out with another jury catastrophe of the likes that we've already seen.

moo

I can only hope you're wrong.

This is the first trial I've watched, and likely to be the last. I really can't invest the time, being self-employed. If the verdict comes back anything less than the DP, I'm going to be soooooo upset with the very system I worked in for 25 years.

Jodi Arias trial update: Was excused juror already in hot water?

<Sniped>
“The one with multi-colored hair is attempting to coach Arias from the jury box. She shakes her head no, no, no to tell Jodi not to answer a question,” the caller alleged in the message on Stephens' voicemail.

The caller then asks the judge if the alleged actions are permissible and if it should be looked into.

The caller continues on to say that “it’s the woman with pink and blue hair and she’s trying to coach Arias, trying to influence Arias’ answers from the jury…”

RBBM:

I hope we hear from KatieCooLady, PASA and any others who were in court !

We're in a huge "blame the parent" culture. It isn't always the parent's fault and to assume that it's always the case is very erronous.

Nope. I don't think we're in a "blame the parent" culture at all. Far from it. We won't blame anyone anymore; including the culprit.

Did you listen today? The guy that got killed, slashed to death was painted as a piece of chite. The courts allow it because she, who has admitted to slitting his throat from ear to ear was abused by 4 (four) incidents that she claims and that no one else was there to witness or collaborate. Except for a die-hard DV expert who is trying to make her point about the DEATH PENALTY that she so strongly has negative views about???

Gross.

I'm not watching tomorrow. Probably not Thursday either as I think they'll drag it out to the end of the week.

Interesting the father said Jodi was only strange the past year or so. The mother said Jodi has mental problems and her friends would call mom in the middle of the night and tell her Jodi needs help.

I think the mom saw through Jodi more than the father did. The mom had to deal with Jodi more and that is why their relationship was strained.

Yes he said the last year or so but, I believe the intervieww was done in 2008 so that would be the year she was in AZ.

Remember this pro-tip kids, don't assume other people are assuming when you haven't done your homework.

Jodie was an adult, her parents can't force it on her.
I've heard tell that people with mental illness have a high sex drive. I don't know that to be a fact, since I'm not mental, but if this trial doesn't end soon I may end up nuts.
I can't take hearing or seeing any more of Jodie's sex exploits.

Thanks! I have been wading thru the last 4 threads and making notes on the back of my class notes, lol!

Wait. So then what is the prob with #5 giving JA signals and signs? I just read she was doing that. I am soooooo confused. Why would the DT object to a JA-friendly juror?
