Verdict Watch 05/06/2013 and 05/07/2013

[Novice Seeker]

Oh...oh...oh I forgot to say..... I posted a note to KCL on the courtroom observers thread. Just got back from a short mission in Afghanistan and it is official that Jodi has gone international. In talking with troops and Afghans the concensus is, she is truly the most vile human speciman know to mankind.

Were there any discussions about RS's testimony of comparing Jodi's pseudo-ptsd to that of a solider suffering from true ptsd?

PAM: How long has Miss Donavan known Jodi and where did they meet?

CASAREZ: OK, good question. Donavan, how long have you known Jodi and where did you meet?

BERING: I`ve known Jodi for -- I want to say almost six years, I believe. I think it was 2007. And I met her when she was - when she first came to Arizona. And she was forgot -- brought here to -- the jail.

Jean Casarez is not the only journalist on this case who is either embellishing, fabricating or perpetuating bald faced lies and/or misrepresentations. Michael Kiefer is the other. There, I said it.

I spent the evening with several of the Alexanders last night and the mood is good, the feeling is optimism and the spirit is that this is all coming to an end soon. Our poster Jayarohh told me yesterday that he has this image in his mind today of all the weight the entire family has been carrying over this trial (and 5 years prior) is instantly transferred to the shoulders of Jodi Arias the moment she is convicted. I told them this last night and there were tears. Tanisha was particularly moved. <3

Thank you so much for that update! They have born the weight so gracefully and with such incredible dignity. All I kept saying to my husband last night was, "That poor family has to wait another day." lease:

Praying that justice for Travis comes TODAY before lunch so JA's peanut butter sandwich won't go down! :twocents:

 

[G&AMom]

I thought it was ALV that could predit the future, read behind messages etc. I'd rather not TBH. Who knows... maybe astral projection follows the law of attraction too?

I think there was something about Jodi and someone (Travis maybe?) getting together via astral projection. Can't remember all the details and now that this case is drawing to a close, I'm trying to get rid of the brain clutter. Although my brain often seems to be completely empty . . . .

....you might need...gasp!....mouth to mouth......:floorlaugh:

Lol, with my luck it would be Nurmi in a rare display of speed and medical acumen who'd beat him to it.

Morning all :seeya: I have a great feeling today, I really do. Today is the day.....I totally feel that. F/U Arias you are done. You can tell your lies to YOURSELF while in that cell for 23 hrs. a day.

Totally O/T Kyle had a terrible night and a terrible nurse.....I wanted to snatch her hair out. He was sleeping on his back and started to throw up.....I freaked out! Apparently he is allergic to codeine. He starts chemo at 11:00.....gotta kill that tumor named "Jodi." Hell she really is cancer.

Sending good vibes and love to the Alexander family.....hang in there! She's done :rockon:

I hope your son is feeling better very soon! It's 11:25 now (ET) and you and Kyle are in my prayers...go get 'em, Kyle!

She said it on the May 10 phone tape.

Remember the juror question asking if all of his "patients" are already dead and he answered "I hope so.." ...hearts broke all over America as women had to give up on their schemes to fake-sick their way into an appointment with Dr. Horn.

I told my husband it was a SHAME that man couldn't see LIVE patients! For some reason, he didn't find that as funny as I did. :blushing:

 

[Ammonitida]

I think Mr. Nurmi performed his own shady performance. It is a matter of trial record that JA stated she returned the gas can to the very same Walmart location, yet Nurmi felt the need to claim she never said that. Was he not paying attention? Is he new? Or did he just lie in open court? Who DOES that? IMO

I feel that Juan should have covered all the bases in the event that Jodi tried to alter her story. Now we know exactly why Nurmi had no questions for Walmart lady. Jodi told him it was a different Walmart. There are two Walmarts in Salinas and both of them should have provided reps to testify that Jodi returned no gas cans. That would have shut Nurmi down because Jodi also said that she did not leave Salinas with that third gas can.

As we all wait for a verdict we can collectively reflect back on this case.
Could JM have done anything better in presenting this case on behalf of the “state”?

ANSWER- “maybe; but unlikely”.

As pundits have complained in the past JM could have stayed out of the weeds and not pursued every tangent that the defense introduced in order to obfuscate. The jury, however, appears to have remained on course and were able to extract the essentials. This assumption is based on the quality of questions they posed.

I believe ME Horn was relatively weak. There is good reason for this.
After all, Horn, as Medical Examiner had to do hundreds of autopsies for the Phoenix police. To him, TA in June 2008 was merely another dead body. Horn pursued his usual and ordinary routine. Naturally he did NOT understand how crucial the question of wound timing would become. Also Horn in June 2008 did not realize the GSW to the frontal lobe would be a critical part of the state’s case. I firmly believe that in retrospect Horn could have done a much BETTER job analyzing the head wound and could have made findings about the substance of brain.

That said however, the ME presentation of evidence was sufficient to prove the state’s case of murder and indeed murder 1.

Nah, the he&& you say! :floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:
You have been so cool at getting your message across without actually getting your message across! Feels good, doesn't it? :rockon:

 

[G&AMom]

Hey Beaglemania, a big Salute to you. Yes it is amazing that what this creature has done has gone global.

But remember she wanted to be famous......I say ship her over to Afghan and drop her off and see how long she lasts.

I think the people of Afghanistan have enough problems, they don't need more. As do our men and women serving there.

Plus, the more I hear about Sheriff Joe, the more I think she's right where she belongs. :drumroll:

This is utterly incomprehensible to me. Why, in good conscience, would someone want to side with a murderer? Why root for someone who destroyed scores of lives?

I wouldn't have believed they were doing that, but they really are. The motivation behind it still escapes me though. It's just sick and sad.

 

[KMouse]

Donovan admitted she is tweeting on her behalf. ja does NOT have access to a computer. Donovan said she and ja talk every evening and she tells Donovan what to tweet.

I just read the latest tweets. OMG
That you-know-what got a dig in at the family for rejecting the plea deal.

here is the only thing that freaked me out...

at some point in closing...it seems that Juan allowed himself to be sucked into jodi's rabbitt hole, for purely hypothetical reasons... when he switched it up and spoke of jodi taking travis's gun and murdering him in his own home.

that could be a little confusing for the jury...almost as much as nurmo's manslaughter claim at the end of his argument.

seems jodi has made everyone kind of lose it with her insanity.

BBM: I screamed, "YES, YES, YES" at my TV when Juan said that. He was just showing that even if the jury believed Travis had a .25 caliber gun and Jodi used it to shoot him she could still be guilty of 1st Degree Murder. But it would be "Felony 1st Degree Murder" because the moment she took his gun and shot him she became an "unwelcome guest", the gun became a "burgled gun", and a person (Travis') was killed in the commission of this burglary.

The beauty of this is that she's screwed, whether she brought Grandpa's gun with her or she used Travis' (imaginary) gun.:great:

 

[ElleElle]

The work boat here too. :rocker: I'm not far away from tapa talk though.

I woke up with a good feeling. I feel renewed and refreshed. I feel a sense of hope.

Once "GUILTY- Premeditated First Degree Murder is said out loud.

I can't wait to see her face! She will melt.

Hey I am at work too but we can dream and celebrate later!:rockon:

I'm sad that I'm back at work today and can't sit down with a Mike's Hard Black Cherry Lemonade while I'm waiting. Wah. :sigh:

I suppose I could crack one open at my desk but I'm guessing the boss would frown on that.

 

[PMLsmom]

OT - Where is Quester the timekeeper, and Weebles for the warm fuzzy fixes?????

 

[Sustained]

Jodi has won and she knows it. Juan botched the case when he conspired with Dr. Horn to score a cheap shot against Jody. Unfortunately, this cheap shot was nonsensical crap (knife-first) and now the jury will either acquit on self-defense or convict of manslaughter. I'm 99.999% confident of that.

I'm 99.999% confident that you're wrong. Juan botched the case ? What trial have you been watching ?
