May I say that I am so glad that JA did that interview. It just validates everything I thought I knew about her. She is a sick, perverted, evil, arrogant person who feels the whole world should revolve only for her. She feels she is smarter, better and can fool anyone she wants to. She just...

Nonsense IMHO. JM got JA to state that she went to the same Wallmart to return the gas can. She lied and Jaun proved it with the evidence. It would have done no good to have gotten the records from the other Salinas WM because her story would then changed to a WM in the next town. This is the...

I say bring'em on. There is nothing this witness can say or do to get JA out of a premeditated murder conviction. She could have been abused, have PTSD, BPD, Aids, Herpes, Aids, Crabs, whatever but it will make no difference whatever. Jaun has the evidence to prove that she planned and...

Sounds like he may try to suggest she could have gone back after the murder to straighten things up after the murder while she was in the fog. Desperate IMO.

I don't think he was referring to yesterday's hearing but to a hearing prior to ALV testifying.

A very significant development today was the motion to deny the admittance of the closet evidence. If this testimony and pictures gets in then it is over for Ms. Arias. She can't claim self defense if she doesn't get a gun from the closet and she can't get the gun if the shelf can't bear her...

What is the significance of the ME's testimony that the shot was last? The Defense did not bring in a ME of their own to dispute the state's ME claim on the shot so how can they counter that testimony. They have only the testimony of the accused. Is there anything they can do to mitigate the...

The business of prosecuting is all about winning cases and putting away the bad guys. If Mr. Martinez's interrogation style is what helps him win cases then great.

Isn't being a good interrogator essential to being a good prosecutor?

How was Jodi emotionally abused? Did Travis call her up when she had asked him to stop? Did he stalk her? Did he purposely try to say things to hurt her that he knew was not true? Did he post things about her publicly to cause her pain and embarrassment? Yes emotional abuse is real but Jodi...

How can one be subject to emotional and verbal abuse when they are not living under the same roof as the alleged abuser? If Ms. Arias wanted to end the abuse she could have just stopped responding to the victim's emails, texts etcetera. The problem with you trying to equate emotional abuse...

ALV can't call anyone a psychopath because she doesn't have the credentials to do so as Mr. Martinez pointed out in his cross today. In fact the only thing she can call anyone is an abuser because that is not in the DSM. Which Mr. Martinez also got on the record.

She has also not heard one bit of evidence that even hints at Travis being physically abusive. I believe you are being dangerously naive. This is a murder case and the only evidence that should matter to a jury is what actually can be proven. There is no evidence, other than the from the...
