That's the tactic. The DT has to re-think their strategy with Dr. DeMarte.

Well the DT hasn't learned anything then because while they are doing their thinking - so is JM and everytime this has occurred in the past the man has come out loaded for bear and without mercy. Big mistake if this is a fake out excuse. Dumb dumb dumb.
 
Can someone tell us why doesn't the Judge explain to the court what is the issue that caused trial to be cancelled???

I don't know for sure but I would assume it's because the jury may hold it against her if they knew she was the cause of the delay?

Then she wouldn't get a fair trial. (And it is all about Jodi you know.)

:)
 
Why would you "love" this? This is an attitude I have a hard time understanding. If Jodi had fulfilled her potential, and became a happy, healthy and successful person, then she wouldn't have killed a man. Wanting to see justice done is very different from gloating over a sad, failed life that took another life down with it. To me, this is something to cry, not laugh, about.

I loved it yesterday and I'll tell you why. We have spent weeks watching the utter anguish of Travis' loved ones having to hear their beloved, slaughtered brother, nephew, friend, be trashed in the most disgusting, horrific ways - murdered twice in a sense - in one of the nastiest defenses I've heard in a long time. We have sat here for weeks and watched that murderer smirk and laugh and smile and toss her hair while she attempts to destroy the memory of a man who can no longer defend himself. We have sat for weeks watching jodi arias enjoy every last moment of it and every last moment of the pain it is causing Travis' family.

The cruelty of that, the inhumanity of that is something I will not forget. It causes anger and it causes a desire to see the source of the pain pay for what she has done, or at least to see her come to the realization that the ugly, putrid life of hers that she felt was so superior to Travis' and to all who loved him, that she had the right to butcher him like a Christmas hog, is really meaningless and laughable and wasted and will remain so until she dies and goes to hell.

I value compassion and empathy. Ask those who know me: I am one of the biggest bleeding hearts around. My heart hurts for other for the smallest things - things sometimes they don't even know may be pitiable by others.

But a heart can only take so much and those of us vested in this case and watching the unceasing suffering this monster has caused, well, I think we have a good excuse for feeling a bit of glee at the thought that the monster before us may feel an ounce of what she dished out.

I hope that's clear.

If it were JM, the defence team would be on it immediately, demanding a mistrial and prosecutorial misconduct.

I don't believe she said it. It's beyond the pale. Surely, Wilmott is not stupid.

I agree. I love all of ya'll but JM did not say a bad word. A professional of her caliber - that's right, she's an attorney in a death penalty trial and she has been around the block a time or two- has vastly more self-control than that. No way in H. E. double hockey sticks would such a word ever slip from her mouth before the court.
 
I think when this trial is over, we may see new changes in the ways trials are covered. The influence of sites like W sleutths...court spectators trying to be part of the case..the media focus. I would not at all be surprised that on appeal, JA is granted a new trial becuase of this circus. It must have been like this in the infamous Dr. Sam Sheperd case in the 1950's which as a result ended up making new law as it went to the Supreme Court( not JA's trial but issues surrounding it)

Huh?? This case hasn't had near the media coverage as OJ, Scott Peterson, Casey Anthony.....not even close.
 
maybe dd stuck a starbucks stirrer stick in between the pages of the paper she returned to jw and ja saw it and came down with the i'll never get out of jail blues. ok,ok,ok just kidding. lol

i agree ja is using sick to control all these people. it's worked twice, most likely she will try it again. moo
 
Can someone tell us why doesn't the Judge explain to the court what is the issue that caused trial to be cancelled???

She doesn't want to prejudice the jury against the defendant. Look how frustrated we are ...and we can go about our lives.

Jury pretty much held hostage to their commitment to the trial and JA is dragging it out (IMO) and this seems to happen when things are not going well for the defendant again my opinion.

But basically the Judge doesn't want the jury to hold this against JA.
 
Well at lest I am listening to this morning's cross.

I still don't see any Wilmott "I gotcha" moments!
 
I claim and fully take ownership of having malice toward JA. Thanks to the rules of this forum, I have not typed many things I have thought. I respect this site, the owners, admins and mods more than I can say.
This site is victim friendly. We are required to follow the rules in order to participate. We are allowed to have differing opinions but we are only allowed to respond to the post, not the poster.
No one that runs this forum has ever even hinted at telling anyone what they should or shouldn't feel.
When it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and carps all over the place....it's a duck.
I have malice for JA. Had it yesterday. Will have it again tomorrow.
I have love and admiration for Travis Alexander and his family, loved ones and friends.
I don't like JA. I don't have any good vibes for her.
 
Since DT delays seem to be an ongoing tactic, I think one of things the judge can do is use Fridays to make up hours missed during the week. Another thing she could enforce is to make up hours by starting earlier or staying late. If the consequence is going to be dragging your butt in there early, then perhaps the shenanigans will stop. If no consequences are applied, then nothing will change. I also think the jury should be told each and every time just who is wasting their valuable time. :twocents:
 
I made dinner during the lunch break....NOW what am I gonna do???
 
Can someone tell us why doesn't the Judge explain to the court what is the issue that caused trial to be cancelled???

It could be considered 'prejudicial' if they told the jury that the killer had a headache. In other words, they might resent her for wasting their time.

But I think they already know it was because of her that the day was cut short. And they already resent her, imo.
 
Tere is nothing wrong with her, this is all a front. Jodi is an actress and can make herself turn into anything. And she is scared of Dr.D.


I agree and I think there is something much more deviant going on. I truly think they want to drag this case on as long as possible to keep having jurors removed until there is too few.

Think about it. So far, the defense has managed to remove 1themselves. Then another juror had to bail already. So, the more time they can drag this out, the more chance the defense has to try to get more jurors removed.

I am totally convinced their goal is to get under 12, and thus mistrial.
Jodi's fake illness is just ACT IV in this play.

Watch her be sick the rest of the week now is my guess.
 
I always feel for the jurors when they are made to wait for hours just to be sent home. Or when they are called in just to wait 2 hours, get called to the box for 5 minutes to be told they are going home with no testimony. I would be piZZed because I got up early, showered and all, drove to the courthouse for nothing when I could have just slept in for a change.

As I understand it, a lot of the jurors are older people. This must be taking a huge toll on some of them healthwise. Look at Juror #11, a man 70 yrs old I think. If not for all the delays he could have done his jury time to fruition and been a happy man for doing his duty and seeing it through to the end. But so many Defense team dirty antics and it has dragged on for so danged long! Just ridiculous. :banghead:
 
My guess is Jodi has been holding back an anger outburst...got pale from holding her breath and biting her lip.... I quickly googled and found the following article:

HOW TO RESTRAIN YOURSELF FROM AN OUTBURST

Everybody gets angry at times. Yet, there is an awful lot of anger going around––it is estimated that one in five Americans has an anger management problem. As for having an outburst, a time when a person melts down in front of everyone present and yells, screams, hits out or abuses others, this is destructive anger at its most potent. It hurts you and it hurts others, in physical, emotional and social ways.

Having an outburst is nothing but negative––it's something to expect in toddlers, who have very limited ways to express themselves. But if you're old enough to read this article with no problems, you're too old to be having such outbursts, regardless of your temper, pride or sense of being "in the right". Learning to restrain yourself and to retrain your approach to challenging situations is the mature way forward to a calmer life.

-Tensed muscles, especially around your face and neck; tightening fists
-Teeth grinding and jaw clenching
-Sweating
-Skin color changes, such as reddening or *going totally pale*
-Shaking ("shaking in anger" is a well known term)
-Goosebumps
-You can feel your heart racing, your thoughts going blank
-The pitch of your voice changes
-Dizziness or light headed
-Stomach aches or a sudden feeling of diarrhea
-Feeling temperature extremes.

Notice your emotional reactions and your actions. There are more giveaway signs of anger and a potential outburst shown in feelings and reactions. If you can learn to spot these, you can learn to quell your anger faster. Some of these may include:

Feeling upset, anxious, wanting to get away, sad, resentful, guilty, terrified, wanting to hurt someone or something and wanting a habitual relaxant such as a cigarette or alcoholic drink, even a prescribed tranquilizer you keep at hand and take at will; and
Actions such as pacing, rubbing your head, sarcasm, losing your sense of humor, becoming abusive or abrasive, yelling or crying, making a fist.

Physically restrain yourself. If you're speaking to someone and ready to burst, don't say anything. Hold your breath or bite your tongue if you have to.

If your anger is directed toward an object (like the above picture of a woman screaming at her cell phone) and you feel yourself about to throw it, hold your hand down with your other one.

Make a fist (don't let go of the object) and slam it against your chest or stomach if you have to (try not to be too hard, as you may hurt yourself).

If you're ready to kick someone or something, stomp on your foot and hold it there.

I have no pity for her, but Jodi really is looking very drawn and she's lost weight, and she wasn't heavy to begin with. I suspect the food in the jail is just awful. Probably not sleeping well either (may she never have another good night's sleep for the rest of her life). I figure it's her due punishment. However, we don't actually know that the reason they quit for the day is that she's sick, right? But she looks awful. Maybe she's hoping for pity from the jury?
 
if this is about her being sick, i say she's doing it because it's all she CAN do to exercise control. stop the music! this is about ME and i'm SICK so go home and cool your heels, janeen. i'm in charge here.

heck, she might decide to be sick tomorrow too, just for good measure. did you hear her attempt at a cough?

Yes, noticed the fake cough - She waited to do this right when the jurors were coming back into the courtroom and after she coughed, JW flipped around and looked at JA and turned back around with kind of a smirk IMO. JA immediately panned the jurors to see if they noticed her cough, probably seeking sympathy. JMO
 
Jodi's not sick... she's just pale and greasy like an inmate.

I just watched and it appeared to me that she was doing something with her throat (swallowing real hard) like she was trying to make herself cough when the Jury came in.

Judge looked like she wanted to slap someone.

I missed a lot today... anything big? TIA.

It was a forced cough at that. If she claims to have a sore throat the jail will know it. Whenever the testimony is not going her way she gets sick. As if the jury can't figure that out.
 
The biggest change in Jodi's appearance I've seen is between last Friday and this Monday. like people here have said, her mask is gone. It was fully removed on Monday and Tuesday. She's starting to shrink and shrivel. She looks like a snail without its shell with nowhere to hide.

I remember during the interrogation with Flores (at the beginning) she said "I feel so powerless in here". I bet she is feeling the same now.
