Jodi is telling it mostly like it was as much as we don't want to believe it. The story she tells to 48 Hours about the ninja tells the tale just take out the ninjas and swap a few things around. It's remarkable since it really hasn't changed at all except for a few details here and there. Watched in hindsight with everything else that came out of the trial is almost identical. It's all in there. One of the things that's not really ever discussed is TA's motive to go after her either for the camera or the lunge with the gun. After their dalliance, JA was leaving TA that day to see another man and he already knew it. I think that rankled him. On top of that she dropped and possible broke his camera that he needed for the trip. The klutz had already destroyed one of his cars and possibly broken his other things in the past. They both over reacted that day. She could have gone there to kill him anyway but the scenario just doesn't play out that way. There are all these questions that keeps coming up. Why would TA have a gun and why would his friends not know? If true, his story when JA was sleeping on his lap in the video is all the motivation he needs to have a small concealable gun. That story probably explain why he'd even charge JA in the bathroom. Not trying to TA bash, but trying to find a scenario that fits the blood trail. He has the gun and doesn't tell anyone cause really? You have a pea shooter and we shoot rifles in the desert? He has a reason to have the gun and not tell others about it.
Sequence:
She does drop the camera and he picks her up and tosses her down. Fearful she runs away and he grabs the camera then goes after her. I seriously doubt he meant her any serious harm.
Based on time stamps of photos it appears the camera moves down the hallway from the bedroom to the bathroom. That's cause he put the camera down there before going into the closet after her.
She then shoots him and the blood gets on the window blinds and under the area where the scales end up. I was shocked JM says he was shot pretty much the same place JA said he was but that appears to be what the blood trail indicates anyway.
He's down on all fours as JA demonstrated to DF and wipes at his forehead. He's basically done at this point, but he manages to his feet and bleeds over sink and spits up blood. The ME really messed up or if he was accurate in the report, the bullet never penetrated the brain. Haven't seen the shock value pics JM used on RG on the last day of testimony, but he couldn't tell by that alone the trajectory of the bullet. I'd think an entry/exit wound should be obvious even to RG and if it isn't what does that mean? TA was not as incapacitated as he should have been or we'd expected him to be.
At this point TA wants JA dead and she knows it. He chases her down the hall probably suffering some of the defensive hand wounds but he does knock her to the ground by JM's "rainbow". This is where she goes into the stabbing frenzy. While wrestling on the floor she delivers the knife wounds over his right shoulder. She gets most of them in but the pain forces him to try to get off her and this is when she gets the straight stabs to the chest and torso. But as he rolls off her, his blooded back and shoulder leaves the rainbow smear against the wall. It's consistent with the wounds to his right shoulder and him bracing with his right arm against the wall. You can literally see his body outlined on the wall. Even the possible blood from the bullet to the head. Ouch!
In the foot photo he's not dead yet. I think he's got her by the right hand or she has him but I don't think he's dead but that's when she does get away from beneath him and kicks the camera taking the picture. The rest is pretty much same as everyone else thinks. Though I think she did the coup de grace with him in the same orientation as in the foot photo. I think the wound appears deeper on the right that then left consistent again with a lefty wielding the weapon.
About the blood in to the toilet room. That's really TA wiping blood from his head wound like sweat then flicking the blood off his hands and leaving the pattern on the lower end of the door and toilet while he as by the sink. Really bad day that.
It's a good thing KM added the manslaughter charges.
Also I think JA suffered from the 'fog'. The fog is a memory issue after the fact same as PTSD. She can't currently recall the memories cause the were not stored properly. This does happen. If she's to be believe on this, she clearly remembers everything happening until she really thought she was going to die. Those things are very strongly etched in, but things after are fuzzy or don't exists or just can't be recalled. This probably happens when the brain short circuits when neither fight or flight is possible and imminent danger still exists. These things happen. I know.
