Let me add on to this: mods have to SLEEP. So that means if one of us is not around that does not mean you get to run all willy nilly all around saying naughty things. I am just saying this as a warning.. because even if something is posted when no one is looking... we see it eventually....

I'm perplexed about something. ALV had her cheerleading team in the courtroom when she was testilying, then word was she was in an emerg room one weekend for heart palpitations due to stress caused by the social media backlash about her testilying, she testified she doesnt use computers, but now she has a twitter account? Her last tweet was yesterday.

Why would anyone who is complaining about stress from social media backlash create a twitter account?

And if she doesn't use computers, how is she posting to her twitter acct? :floorlaugh:

Exactly...I want to swear and scream about this but I can't. Damn.

Why would premeditation be off the table because of the eyeball reflection photo? All it does is show that at that moment JA was taking a photo of Travis in the shower and apparently not holding a gun or knife on him. The prosecution has never once believed that he was aware at that time of any upcoming assault and that it was in fact a surprise attack soon after that photo was taken. The knife could have been hidden anywhere in that bathroom from JA to grab and surprise attack him with it between the time that photo of his face was taken and the attack started. That was a much longer period of time, by the way, than the defense said that he lunged for her, body slammed her, wrestled with her on the floor, she ran to the closet, lunged up the shelves to grab a non-existent gun off the back of the top shelf that may or may not have been in a non-estistent holdster, and run back to the bathroom to shoot him.

Of course JM would stipulate that in that eyeball photo she wasn't holding a gun or knife on him because it has never been the prosecution's theory that she was. Their theory has always been that she had the knife hidden near by and that sometime between that photo of his face and the bathroom ceiling photo she grabbed the knife and surprise attacked him with it. The prosecution's theory has nothing at all to do with premeditation. Premeditated murders happen every day where the murder was planned in advance of the killing where the victim was surprise attacked by a hidden or concealed weapon. The prosecution has never believed that at the time the photo of Travis's face was taken that there was a weapon held on him or that he was aware that an attack was imminent. That has only been strange speculation here and now apparently by the defense. It means nothing and does nothing to change the prosecution's theory of what occurred because the prosecution has never believed that at the time that photo was taken JA was holding him at knife or gun point.

:rocker:

I think they have hair salons in prison.

Nope...koolaide is as close to hair dye as she's ever gonna get. Maybe once it's grey she can put some red or blue streaks in it.

No more strawberry fraps from Starbucks...

No more Cinnabons...

No iPhone 6 on up.....

I remember the Judge telling ALV that they would speak today. They spoke. I wonder if ALV tried to convince the Judge that she was not able to attend hearing tomorrow as originally scheduled for medical reasons. In Arizona, doesn't the Judge have the power to appoint a court-appointed doctor ?

No idea what the impact of this trial will be on ALV. Probably no more testimony in courts of law, but based on her history that wasn't something she did very often in her 29 years to begin with, soooo. She'll still have her private practice and various groups. Eventually the hatred will fade away as this case fades away and someone else will emerge to become the dastardly defense witness in some other high profile case. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Thank you for posting this. My heart just melted. I am sick that the beast slaughtered Travis.

In this picture, Travis looks like an older version of my son. I feel like I am going to be sick. RIP Travis.

Sorry, but I think she will get a male on the outside. Someone will declare their love for her. I posted the other day that an acquaintance of mine has a father sentenced to life in prison and his dad has been married 4 times while in a prison. Beyond comprehension for me.

That type thing is why I hope Jodi ends up on death row where contacts are strictly limited. With LWOP the inmates start out in maximum custody, but gradually work their way up over time to much less restriction. I think w/good behavior maximum custody ends in as little as two years.

I love Dr Drew's little callouts

Shout Out (to aunt)
Shout out (not as loud) to dad

No, it has been established that it's a baby veloca raptor peaking out from it's egg.

koopa troopa

on the enlarged photo of Travis eye....

IMO, it shows the camera near Jodi's face but it's like it's in mid-air and her arms appear to be stretching out behind her back.

IMO, she hit the camera button & let go of the camera & as the camera was falling she pulled out her weapon or weapons from behind her back.

You mean the toilet bowl? That doesn't count.

 

[creepingskills]

Exactly...I want to swear and scream about this but I can't. Damn.

Do we know if this is really ALV? It looks real. And I'm pretty sure she shouldn't have been tweeting about the case before being released from the judge.:furious:

 

[Sedonia Sunset]

FWIW...I see a gun.

I see a duck.

 

[Madeleine74]

JA has been in jail for almost 5 years. She hasn't had access to all those little pleasures ($tarbucks, etc). So a conviction isn't going to be anything new except it makes it official and she'll be in state prison rather than Sheriff Joe's jail. She's already used to being in a cell and doing without.

Good One - I understand completely :facepalm:

I know. Strange. She really should look after her mental health if it sent her to the ER just last week.

 

[StephanieHartPI]

I think they have hair salons in prison.

I think so too. I think the prisoners work at stylists. (barbers etc)

 

[wasnt_me]

You made me want to cry!

He was so handsome. I am so angry about his death.
