If you mean how to post YT videos, I discovered when I tried to include JUST a link, that it's almost impossible NOT to post the entire video! Just copy and paste the URL from the top of the video into any message here. That is all. You don't have to click anything else or enclose it in a link...

I don't see how it would affect her appeals. She can express regret for ending his life and still claim self-defense, can't she? In fact, isn't that how we know she doesn't regret murdering him? If he truly had temporarily snapped after she dropped his camera, wouldn't she regret such a...

Loving these classic performance gems :heart: :heart: (keep them coming!) but to answer Elle's question: She just made an innocent joke after it was brought out in court how much Alyce LaViolette was being paid. Don't quote me but I believe it happened when they were all hauled in chambers (no...

Very good article (it wasn't that long, really), and I agreed with all but the last two paragraphs. Nothing the jurors can do will "make amends" or help anyone "grow human once more." Going back to Adam and Eve, Cain slew Abel. And so it has gone for thousands of years. Wicked people will...

Attorney Nurmi said she is going to talk about her life before she met Travis. Which, if true, sounds an awful lot like, "If only I hadn't met him," doesn't it? That it was his fault he came into her life and caused her to become a murderer? She was such a sweet and wholesome teenager...

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. - I believed her when she told Detective Flores Travis didn't own a gun, that his only weapons were his fists. - I believed her when she told Maureen Maher of CBS that Travis used to get annoyed with her that she kept her rear-view mirror facing her...

I listened to Dan Gibbs' entire interview on DD. He did not seem the least bit confused. He said certain things she said seemed plausible, but nothing in regard to the murder. He didn't buy a single thing she claimed about that. He specifically said (1) JA spent too long on the witness stand and...

Oh she's always been full of BS. "If I harmed Travis I would beg for the death penalty." JM hasn't quoted her on that (yet) but he still might. Linda Kenney Baden referred to her as a "rattlesnake" and a "praying mantis" in the latest CBS/48 Hours special on the case, and said trashing the...

"After her conviction, Arias told a reporter that she would prefer to die quickly than to live a long life in prison. A source close to Arias tells PEOPLE that, after reflecting on what she said, Arias would prefer a life sentence over execution. "...

I don't believe that was JA's actual cell, but one laid out identical to it, decorated 'with the thing [sic] a prisoner would have:' From CNN Transcripts: JVM: "I also just completed a tour of the Estrella Jail, went into a jail cell identical to that Jodi Arias is in right now. It`s very...

I don't know of any testimony that the knife edge was serrated, or even hints at it. As far as where his throat was cut, the prosecution believes it occurred at the end of the hallway, on the carpeting, due to the voluminous amount of blood there. If it had been cut at the sink, he wouldn't...

Even Troy Hayden, the Fox reporter who got the exclusive interview with JA was confused. When Greta asked him what was meant by "Felony murder," he replied that it was "because Jodi stole Travis' gun" after murdering him. Which surprised Greta and, as we here know, was an incomplete and...

What, one is not enough? Well, obviously the perfect storm. Something about Travis captivated her and held her captive to her emotions and romantic notions about him. And she went over the edge when he pushed back, hard, on May 26, characterizing her in unflattering terms that fueled her anger...

There is no alley behind Travis' house. Looking out the back of his house (the sliding glass door faces the back): She may have used the garage code and parked in the garage. That way neither she nor her car would have been seen by any neighbors at all. From the garage, one enters...

There is forensic computer corroboration she told Detective Flores the truth on July 16, 2008, about arriving at TA's house around 4 am on June 4 and observing him watch several YouTube videos. From the July 16, 2008 interrogation video [refer to the WS Transcripts thread]: "10:12 JA: Travis...
