Any bets as to whether La V will show up today or not? I do not trust this person.

I know, I know, I watch too much TV, but are there any criminologists out there?
If it were just the stabbing of TA, I could see possibly trying to say Travis was killed in a moment of rage.
But the slitting of his throat was savage and sadistic. Combined with the gunshot, it blows the rage theory for me because these actions are distinctly different, counter to my idea of blinding rage. Using a knife was so personal.
I do believe that she left CA fully intending to slaughter him in the most gruesome way possible.
And the way she left his body?
I was really annoyed yesterday when an HLN played excerpts from the parents' interviews where they clearly were prepared to accept Det. Flores's statement that he had overwhelming evidence that Jodi had killed Travis. One of the commentators said that parents like that explain how Jodi got the way she is. Really? Travis would be alive if Jodi's parents had been in denial about their daughter's sociopathy?
The parents were right to accept what Det. Flores said. It was the truth! I am sure they were thinking about all the lies, the rules breaking, the time she got mad at her little brother and took a baseball bat to him, her lack of empathy for others. She isn't normal and they knew that.

I'm hoping for a question or two concerning JAs propensity for LYING, then no further questions. That would totally LIMIT redirect.The only words I want to hear out of JW's mouth today is "NO FURTHER QUESTIONS!". lease: Then she can sit down and STFU!!!!! I KNOW I am not alone!
I'm finally watching the most recent testimony by ALV (going forward I'll only be watching JM because I can not stomach this carp anymore.)
It is getting beyond old. I'm doing real life stuff with HLN in the background until it's JMs turn.
But I have a question. I'm curious what you all think would happen if JM goes up and asks ALV if JA had never told her that Travis was abusive then what is it about all those (endlesss) journal entries, text messages and other evidence that would have convinced her Travis was abusive? In other words, if a known liar (JA) hadn't said Travis was abusive, what hard evidence is there that he was. Curious what ridiculous answer she would come up with...
:seeya:
February 2008 he said he wanted to buy a gun -- but according to Jodi's testimony he already had a gun as of 2007. Oops
Oh, folks - I have to admit - I am just so darn tired of everything with this trial....
:sigh:
The world around me begins to blur, colors fade and I can hear faint harp music...I am beginning to enter "Alyce's World"
I can't even imagine having someone like JA as a daughter. The creepiness factor alone gives me the chills.
I remember when my sister was a teenager and crazy on alcohol and drugs constantly. I was afraid of her. Her temper was horrible and unpredictable. I moved in with my now-husband right after high school because I was scared to live with her (she was 14 at the time).
So to have to live with a JA, their emotions, rages, unpredictability.... how do people do it??
I don't believe she did that Schuby. That would be overstepping her bounds.
Other dismissed jurors have come out to talk to the media in other cases and I have never seen one case where it was grounds for a mistrial or even an issue on appeal.
Remember the intact jury is admonished that they cannot watch anything in the media or read/talk about it anywhere with anyone.
I'm sure she did inform her she was free to speak with the media now but it was her choice if she did or not and the dismissed juror decided on her own that she will only do so once a verdict is rendered.
IMO
"Jodi had a lot of, a lot of, plans for her future. How could she mess it up, and do somethin' that you said she did?"
Even with Sandy Arias, it was all about St. Jodi of Arias.
Never a single thought about the man who was stabbed, sliced, slashed and shot, and then left by her daughter to rot in a shower stall.
My thoughts exactly! I'm anticipating a very looooooong weekend ahead of us....

You are so right!! JA's mom even said it would be worse for JA's family if JA committed suicide than what Travis' family was going through. I didn't see the mom or dad mention anything about how awful it was for Travis or his family. It was all about JA and her family. Of course, we haven't seen all of the tapes, but from what we've seen, it's still all about JA.
So let's take some bets on what the colour theme of choice is today for the DT?
I think ALV may have suffered from an attack of IBS brought on by that little slip regarding testimony. I think she may have to put on some Depends before JM begins his cross-examination which is sure to bring on more IBS attacks.
Good morning peeps!!IMO, she has bigger things to worry about than one little slip. Her credibility as a DV "professional" is on the line and she MUST sense that. I mean, her entire CAREER is about to be put under a microscope.
Maybe it all sounded a lot plausible in her head as she prepared. Then, when she started talking, she thought, "Heavens! I sound NUTS!" Or maybe she really IS sick. The problem for the DT is that they've cried wolf so many times, nobody believes them OR their client.
Truly, though, ALV is a bright enough person not to have fallen hook, line and sinker for this. She doesn't believe it. Nobody in her right mind would believe it with the evidence presented. She's privy to info on the slashed tires, anonymous email, etc. She saw those police interviews with the parents. She KNOWS.
ALV is egotistical, though. I've seen sparks of it during her testimony. Little jabs thrown after the bell, er, objection. She probably thought she was SMART enough she could convince OTHERS to buy it. She also thought JA would do a better job of "selling it" on the stand before she even got up there. She was never supposed to be the "star witness." THAT was supposed to be JA.
Every time ALV looks at the jury, she realizes she is digging herself in deeper and deeper. These people are over it. And JW is so excruciatingly slow in her questioning, she is stuck up there for days on end just dreading Juan Martinez and knowing he is going to nail her down on every point.
Still, the fact is she seems more concerned with self-preservation than with the damage she is doing to TA's family and to the real victims of DV. Not unlike a certain person who stayed on the stand for 18 days. :moo:
