:floorlaugh::floorlaugh: There's also that tropical/ floral Hawaii theme perhaps to both....Is it a mitigation specialist requirement or something that they have to wear a low cut blouse?
Beth is saying she interviewed Travis' roommate, Tyler in 2011, and he spoke to her about what she thinks is the nasty e-mail we heard from Travis to Arias yesterday.
She believes the reason Travis was so mad was because Arias had hacked into is e-mail or some other kind of media.
This is the one Tyler asked of Travis, 'Wow, are you sure you want to sent that?".
Just want to say I found it amusing in a horrified kind of way when JW had ALv on the stand. LOLing at the absurdity of it. What was the point of having her testify if all she did was read excepts from a journal and turn to JW for the answer.
JW would ask, would you describe this as "escalation" and ALv would say "yes, I would call it escalation."
Then JW would ask "is this part of the continuum that you described to us" and ALv would answer "yes, that's exactly it."
Did my ears deceive or did ALv also say at one point that "in this case it takes ONE to tango." Meaning that Travis was abusive all on his own and Jodi did not contribute to the dynamics at all. So was he talking to himself?!
Oh-em-gee! Someone should tell this "expert" that it does take TWO to tango, otherwise its just that hippie chick at the festival (you know the one) who dances to every song all by herself.
Okay rant over.
I totally agree. This is different from a common person on the street saying the mistruths she is parroting. Because of her credentials, her testimony is being given more weight. What a horrible misuse of a talented and fruitful life's work.She is clearly using her credentials to push an agenda and nothing else. That's NOT how it's supposed to be.
i think one of the most shocking things i've seen in a trial is when she said jodi was the victim, not travis. I realize she tried to parse that to mean that ta abused her up until the murder (which was so suspiciously glossed over, as if it were a minor detail), but the fact that she doesn't acknowledge a brutal murder as abuse or as a culmination of the obvious stalking, controlling, threatening of friends, etc, is mind bendingly scary and idiotic. I can't believe they are allowing this to take place.
I knew from the start this would be bad just from looking at her 20 page cv, but this is unimaginably sick.to anyone questioning jm's aggressive approach...you would do well imo to take a step back and consider and absorb what this witness is doing. No one in jm's postion would not be infuriated because she knows exactly what she's doing. She knows it's intellectually dishonest, and does not care. To me, this is worthy of the legislature setting stricter guidelines on who can testify as an expert.
<modsnip> this is the gods honest truth. If Juan asked me if we could subpoena god, I would answer yes.

I can't wait to see what JM has in store. Considering what evidence her last attempt at destroying evidence brought (the camera), her smashed up computer may equally delight us. CAN NOT WAITWe have a lot of company.
There was much excitement and speculation around JA's electronic/digital 'prints' since Mr. Computer Forensics was added to the Prosecutions rebuttal witness list.
What else does Juan have on the lying torture-murderess?
As she admits to having TA's password(s), how many of these messages being read in court and accepted/stipulated as legitimate, may JA have actually composed herself while logged into TA's account(s)?
I was SHOCKED when her followers guffawed out LOUD when ALV said, "Mr. Martinez, are you angry at me?" How RUDE and insensitive and disrespectful and immature and all of the other words I can't think of right now.
This isn't a comedy show - it's a MURDER TRIAL!!!!!! If you're going to LAUGH in the courtroom, take your a$$ home.
Sorry but it made me REALLY angry.
The license plate thing had me a little bit stumped. Then it hit me. Y'all probably already figured it out, but it's just now sinking in for me.
Jodi stole some license plates to escape detection. When she replaced her real ones on the car for the legit part of her trip, in haste put it on upside down.
Which song Veritas Vita? 'You owe me nothing in return' or 'You oughta know'? I don't remember.
For weeks, the only Mitigation Specialist of record has been Sue Stodola.

The Burning Bed and Jodi Arias: The Abuse Defense Gone Wrong

I totally agree. I hadn't really thought about it all that much, but since reading some of the entries I've found online after the release of the 600 pages, I'm completely convinced that's exactly what she did. She already has what's been called hypergraphia, so it would be an easy task for her to completely make up a new journal in a relatively short period of time. She would have the original journal at her side to re-create actual events with specific dates, but adding a bunch of new entries to cover her story. However, the only quibble I have is that IF she re-wrote it, why not incorporate the phony battering stories. Maybe I'm missing something obvious here...
My poor husband let me pose him in the shower to get angles right, ...
The resting of her chin on her hands is a position she often assumed in direct. I think it's just comfortable for her.
i do believe AZLawyer said Mitigation WITNESS as opposed to SPECIALIST
