trial day 44: the defense continues its case in chief #133

[seguek9]

Oooh yummy David Otunga on HLN....my eyes feel better hew:

 

[sammijo]

Psssst, Jodi has woven JW's mind into her own and has total control over 1 of her attorneys. Maybe Nurmi is hiding a wooden stake and a holy cross and Jodi can't figure out what to do next...

Shame, Lorelilly! I'm sitting in my car in line at school to pick up my son, and I burst out laughing at your post. Now people are giving me the crazy eye. Lol!!

I loved it, btw. Wooden stakes and holy crosses...good times on Team Jodi.

The correct word is "verbiage", pronounced "ver - b - age"

"Verbage" is incorrect (unless you are being facetious and slangy):

Slang Dictionary

verbage
/ver'b*j/ n. A deliberate misspelling and mispronunciation of verbiage that assimilates it to the word `garbage'.

I really wish I could speak to Juan. Unless there is some proof that I don't know about, I don't believe TA and JA had sex before he was killed. The pictures taken in the bedroom don't prove anything. The comforter is still on the bed. The pics of Jodi could have been done by her w/camera set on a timer. The pics of Travis look more like she took them after making him lie down on the bed (no erection). I tend to believe Travis was under duress from the moment Jodi arrived. If they had slept first as she says, why is the bed made??

The reason this is important is because the theory that they slept together that day discredits Travis' fear of Jodi. They really need to take another look at this. I believe Travis was indeed scared of Jodi at that point. I don't think he would have slept with her at that point. I think she slipped into his house day and held him under duress from that point on. Again, if they slept first as she says, why is the bed already made?? If Travis was "into" the pics being taken on the bed....why no erection?

I have been wondering this all along, do they have proof that they were together, I don't think Travis wanted to be around her at all.

Sam started crying when Juan was talking about family orgins.I think she started to think about what Travis went through then!Poor girl

I wonder if the judge saw her crying and that was the reason she called a ten min recess? Poor girl.

 

[SCSam]

I wonder if someone in jail contacted LE about the journals.....perhaps implicating there was something of interest to Le in them??

Let's hope we find out... soon.

 

[Amster]

I don't like HLN

 

[Nosey Parker]

I have a jury question, although I doubt it would get through the defence screening.

"Before this case, how many murder trials have you testified in on behalf of the accused, where you knew the defence would be trashing of the victim?"

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

A thought for parents here:

Can you imagine having ALV as your child's teacher? When you meet her at open house at the beginning of the school year, she's all smiles, warm, friendly, just like many of us felt about the expert witness when she began her testimony. Turns out that it's clearly her way or the highway and that she will not budge when discussing your child during parent/teacher conference. ALV would make up her mind and tell you what she thinks about your child, his/her strengths but probably mostly weaknesses, and completely disregard anything that you have to say. I sincerely hope that none of you have experienced or will ever have to deal with this type of teacher, but carp happens. :moo:

I saw this the other day and asked my sister if she saw this. I searched for it and made this quick video. I have never done this but after watching it, it seems more apparent that she was on the edge.

Tell me what you think, I slowed down the "flip off" but even in real time, it is quick but vigorous.

[Rosemary Pierce]

I have to run to the store and hope to get back before court starts. Wish me luck!

OMG Steely is on the loose.....we need to alert the authorities!

 

[JayB12]

In a few days we are having a huge festival near here...

It's called Pork In The Park I'm just sayin'..........

:floorlaugh:

Please tell me this isn't a nudist-sponsored event.

 

[Nosey Parker]

I wonder if the judge saw her crying and that was the reason she called a ten min recess? Poor girl.

No, it was ALV requesting another potty break during a side bar.

 

[Lorelilly]

I've also noticed the close-talking and deep eye contact between JA and JW. I'm not one that gets weird about women having a close relationship; I am sensing something different here than just "friendship". At the very least, I think there is a girl-crush going on at the defense table.

Well as long as Juan and Det Flores aren't making googly eyes at each other it's all good in this hood.:rocker:

 

[basilcat]

I have to run to the store and hope to get back before court starts. Wish me luck!

:floorlaugh::floorlaugh:
Good Luck!
You're going at a quick clip... So you should have time.....:floorlaugh:

 

[atm9533]

today is the first time I have ever heard about JA accusing her father of inappropriate sexual behaviour, or that he approacher her in a sexual manner. Has anyone ever heard this made up crap before. Does her sister ever come to the trial anymore?

 

[A_News_Junkie]

You wrote a brilliant post and did some A++++ sleuthing IMO

Ah, thanks Gauntlet - see sometimes I am more than just a pretty picture! (joke about all my picture making!)........ speaking of which, someone wrote me and said not everyone in here reads the observer thread and asked if I could post my chart here. So - here goes.....another picture kinda thingy of mine! LOL (mods - if this is cross posting feel free to remove! I don't want a vacay!)

 

[zoey]

I just asked siri to tell me what porking is and she responded:

"There are 2 places for escort services within 10 miles of your location. Would you like me to call for you?"

I said "No siri, stand down girl."

LOL.

Suri means well---

 

[gauntlet]

You know, since she has no soul maybe she picked this "movie" persona to try on, and she liked it and will use it till it's of no more use and then take that mask off and put another one on. She truly is Evil personified. Thank you for the wealth of information. You Sleuths are incredible!

A News Junkie did an awesome job of that research. I used to work with a sociopath and he was constantly watching and quoting films etc. A good friend of mine is a psychologist of the PHD type! and said that sociopaths are known to often watch films so they can how to deal with emotions.

I missed most of the past half hour or so due to a storm shutting me down. Did I miss anything important??

Here's the last half hour or so of court this morning. I missed it too when my neighbour called :banghead:
