trial day 50: REBUTTAL; #152

[BritsKate]

Which is a huge Jodi lie.

IMO he didn't call the police or kick Jodi out because he was embarrassed. Something similar happened to me with an ex. I just wanted to keep the peace and not have a scene, so I didn't say anything when he decided to sleep on my sofa with a house full of cousins. I bunked with my sister and three of my cousins, so I wasn't worried for my safety. Perhaps I should have been, but thankfully, he was a harmless nut.

I think too that Jodi manipulates a perpetual victimhood. In reality, we don't know what she said to Travis but many of his friends and family have talked about how generous, trusting, and just a really nice, big-hearted guy he could be. I can see Jodi recounting how everyone before him had hurt, wronged, and/or abused her and manipulating Travis' best intentions to help her out somehow.

Eeewwww! Was JM stroking JA's HAIR????????

Better change that to JW. I almost stroked out when I read it as JM.

 

[MistyM]

[katiecoolady]

I thought I was hallucinating!! YES she was!!! eeeeewwwwwwwwww

Dear Lord I went in to such an immediate fog on that I am still kind of traumatized. Is it 5:00 yet? lease:

 

[BeachGirlFromPA]

Eeewwww! Was JM stroking JA's HAIR????????

YES. Color me skeeved....I knew it was JW...

 

[Gypsy Road]

He let her back in cause he liked her sex even if he didn't like her. Period

Yes!!!! THIS!!! Thank you!!!

 

[SyraKelly]

the jury questions are next

 

[PattyMI]

Eeewwww! Was JW stroking JA's HAIR????????

Yes. Eeewwwww!

 

[Hopeful One]

I can't wait to hear these questions! I'm jumping out of my skin!
I need to know what the jury's thinking! Now.

They're thinking something very different than they were with ALV. I can't even count the questions they had for her.

 

[Phoebeb]

I guess JW let the hiding behind the tree go because it sounds a bit less insane than sleeping under it!

...Or DOES it?... :laugh:

 

[HarvestMoon]

I noticed the same thing! That jaw is tight and she is trying her best to appear like she isn't paying attention, but you are right - she is seething mad!!!

No wonder she gets migraines.

 

[hindsight2020]

Did anyone start a pool on the number of juror questions yet?
My guess is..................5


ETA: Whoops - see them going thru them - I'll change to 12

My guess is 20-30

 

[lil_buddy]

I think the jury appreciates him for doing so. JMO

ITA... especially since the psych (all of it) testimony is really irrelevant - interesting & amusing, but irrelevant.

 

[chijojo]

Juan un-did every point JW was TRYING to make in what? 30 minutes?

 

[rose222]

Better change that to JW. I almost stroked out when I read it as JM.

LOL. That would kill me!

 

[momtective]

Eeewwww! Was JW stroking JA's HAIR????????

I saw that and my first thought was "OMGosh, not another attorney "mommie-ing" her client!" One trial of this was more than I could handle.

 

[Donnareit]

Eeewwww! Was JW stroking JA's HAIR????????

Now THAT might cause Jodi to snap like a bowl of breakfast cereal. kay:

Oh oops. I thought it was JM was stroking JW's hair. Well heck.

This would be an example of not maintaining bounderies.. Just like JA with Christmas Tree...

My 'friend' had his brother & SIL in town over holiday his ex showed up.. stayed the WHOLE weekend even tho NO ONE spoke to her or included her in activities but he was upset & embarrassed didn't want to cause a seen yet again... Someone who didn't know how to maintain a boundary.. THEY are NO LONGER your family once you leave & divorce Hello???

 

[Maryann123]

Travis had a large amount of folks over and Jodi bounced in and introduced herself as his girlfriend..he said nope and there is no room for you here, He gave up his bedroom to two of the women and he slept in his office. Jodi didn't leave, but slept under the tree and said Travis slept on the floor and held her hand all night.

Can you imagine waking up to that under your tree on Christmas morning?

 

[makayla]

isn't rude for JA and JW to chitty-chat while the jury comes in and out?

the defense is devoid of manners in general . . .
