verdict watch 5/8/2013 #3

[laniefi]

32 years here:
I would say the keys for us have been
Love
Respect
A spirit of compromise
ALWAYS having each others back, even when we disagree -we always refer to ourselves as Team (last name).
Faith
Trustworthiness
Communication
Early rules established included: no name calling in anger, no hitting below the belt with the "soft spots" the other has shared with you, no undercutting the other's authority or decision in front of our children and no using one parent as the "bad guy" ie: you just wait til your father gets home

You know it is ironic you say that. I had a 20 something in my office last week who has been married all of a year and she told me she calls her husband nasty names.

Now I have been upset with Mr. Lanie a few times, but have NEVER ever called him a name or sworn at him.

I am a believer in the "treat people how you want to be treated" mentality. Not to mention that now we have a 2 1/2 year old around...

I told the lady who was in my office that if she continues along that path, then she won't have to worry about celebrating their 2nd anniversary.

Yes, Mrs. Lanie is brutally honest sometimes....

i thought he covered 2 and 3 just fine. as for chris, there's some reason they didn't use him. we just don't know what it was. i also wish he'd been given the opportunity to explain those emails.

IMHO Chris Hughes was not called to the stand by JM because doing so would have opened up many other cans of worms for the DT and the information JM could get from CH was not worth handing him over to Nurmi.

:seeya: And can you imagine the "super duper mood" everyone will be in when we hear the words :

:drumroll: . GUILTY - 1st DEGREE . :drumroll:​

:great:

:seeyaGC-add when Jodi starts yelling--I HAVE A MIGRAINE I HAVE A MIGRAINE!!!:floorlaugh:

 

[laniefi]

Shrimp po' boy is probably one of my favorite sammiches of all time. It was my Friday staple for lunch when I lived in New Orleans. Only time in my life that I had extra weight on me.

UGH, so hungry (in my best Homer Simpson voice)....

 

[Sleuth5]

I want to know what the jury is wearing today.

I expect them to be clothed, though deliberations might move faster if they chose to go au naturel.

 

[Midnight Meddler]

all excellent issues. one of the issues i wish Juan had addressed is the question that keeps coming up by the THs: if she wanted to kill him why didn't she just shoot him right away when she got there.

Wish he had said more about that too...

His roommate Zach was home - guns are loud and attract attention, knives don't. Also, you'd have to believe her story if you think he knew she was coming, let her in, kissed her 3 times gently, the sexual deviant that he is, and then went to sleep. :banghead:

 

[deedee21]

Colt Iv seen other pictures of jodi in pigtails. She was wearing a cap with pig tails and a white jacket in another picture with pigtails.

 

[nyvictoria]

She did talk about the cookies! She said it was like something out of Stepford Wives! She's all class Deanna Reid. Wish she could have been on all hour.

Did she say this in court?

 

[Suzanna]

Hopeful, I don't know if this has been answered, it is hard to keep up with this thread.

Deeana said Travis had commitment issues, related to his upbringing. He had difficulty letting himself be loved unconditionally. That was my understanding of why they did not get married.

that made me so sad, I think she, Travis and Naps could have been happy together.

 

[MidwestMama]

I agree with everything you said but have to add Sense of Humor to your list. You have to enjoy each other's company and laugh, a lot.

You are right!
Sense of humor is HUGE.
Sometimes the most frustrating, irritating moments are relieved when one of us burst out in laughter.
I can think of many of those times, esp while our kids were younger and ornery :facepalm: :floorlaugh:

 

[mommy2]

He touched on it, but he didn't drive it home. At least not to my satisfaction. Jodi wanted Travis to be aware, and suffer with each and every stab wound. She didn't want him to die immediately. It was all about him paying for what he had done to her. No way she shot him first. He wouldn't know what hit him, and she wanted him to be completely aware of what was happening to him. Sorta like how I feel about her getting the needle. She deserves a worse punishment.

ITA. Jodi is just straight up psycho. I hope one of the jurors say, "You wanna know why *I* know that it was premeditated? There's TOO many coincidences. Do you really think she stabbed him 29 times, the same exact age that Travis was, by accident? I think not."

Everything JA does is for a reason. Come on jury... Murder 1, NOTHING less!

 

[SassyMom]

I'm still in a 'fog' over the pics on Travis's camera. Juan stated that JA was not in a fog when she took the time to selectively delete certain photos after she murdered Travis. I think there were 90 pics remaining. If she did perform 'selective editing' why did she leave the gross naked pics on the camera?

Is it possible that the pics of TA and JA were not taken on June 4? The color of JA's pigtails looks much lighter to me than the pic of her after she left the salon in Salinas.
The pigtails seem strangely out of character to me. First of all, JA was in a rush to complete her mission and get to Ryan Burns. She spent some time and $$$ to have her hair colored and styled. Why would she ruin it with pigtails? She looked pretty ratty in the photos - I'm sure she would have had to wash her hair and blow dry it before she left for SLC. Then again, she probably had to wash all the blood splatter out of her hair. I still can't believe they had sex that day - twice! Why didn't she delete the pics?

Oh, and one other thing that caught my attention: when Det. Flores told JA that he had a time-stamped photo of her - naked with pigtails, JA replied "Pigtails"??? She sounded genuinely surprised about the pigtails. Not the fact that there were pics of her taken on the day of the murder...but about the pigtails. She asked him if they could have been taken on another day.

I'm probably barking up the wrong tree, but I can't understand why she didn't delete the pics. Makes no sense....to coin a phrase.

Can we all agree that "she sounded genuinely" is a complete oxy moron with this wonky chick?

Oh, Nurse I love that candle. I bought one for my mom and then went back and bought one for me too!

 

[Chester_from_THM]

LOL!

After getting it wrong in my first marriage I got it right and married the love of my life and my seventh grade sweetheart.

I DO loves my man! Swoon! I have been so blessed for the last 30 years. Its been the easiest and most enjoyable journey of our lives. Life is good!

Justice for Travis who should have had a chance to find the love of his life too or finally realize he belonged all along with Deanna.

IMO

I have a similar story, ocean.

Going on 25 years with my soulmate.

We are roasting a turkey today, and the whole house smells like Thanksgiving. I wonder if that is a sign?

:seeya:

:banghead:Judge siedlin drives me nuts he's very judgemental about juan he criticises everyone, isn't he the one that broke down at cried at Anna Nicole trial

:seeya: I agree ... he is one that I will NOT watch !

And he has been very very critical of Mr. Martinez ... he's just jealous !

:moo:

 

[kkdj]

Pigtails used to keep keep hair from all over crime scene too. Also so Travis couldn't grab her hair by the roots and fight back.

And so it tied in with her may 10th blackmail setup regarding the 12 year old.
Jodi makes me sick!!!

If you do get married there will come a time you cant sleep well unless you know your partner is lying right beside you. My hubby is a very early riser (4am) but he is so mindful that I am sleeping and he is very quiet and lets me sleep as long as I want to (6 or 7 am)

I think happy marriages consist of really liking the person they are married to and learn to understand that everything is not a battle that needs winning or fighting. Don't expect perfection unless you are willing to be perfect yourself. Be willing to compromise and be understanding. Show them that you love them and they will show you love in return. Always respect and honor them. Be their best friend who they can trust with their life and finances. Remember they are the partner you will have holding your hand when you leave this earth. There to support your achievements and supports you in time of need. Always remember why you fell in love with them and never try to change what drew you to them in the first place.

Just some of the things I think makes a happy marriage.

Thank you oceanblueeyes for this advice. I'll remember it for life and hopefully one day soon I'll have the opportunity to put this advice into practice!
