The scratches on Fred Mueller's face look so familiar. Check out Gerard Baden Clay: http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/day-six-of-committal-hearing-to-determine-if-gerard-baden-clay-will-stand-trial-for-murder-of-wife-allison/story-e6freoof-1226601300871 I think scratches...

Sorry. I'm going to jump back to Dr. Phil, briefly. The discrepancy in reporting the "night before argument" is bugging me a bit. I just want to understand the motivation to deny a real argument or fabricate an imaginary one. It is too big an event to chalk up to memory problems. No...

I live about 1 hour outside of Portland, and it is hard to describe how woodsy it is in this area. We've got prolific evergreens and incredibly aggressive blackberry bushes everywhere, which would make searching very challenging. I'd chalk up the lack of evidence found so far to luck, as...

If you check the first video for Trial Day 22 at around 1:26 you can see her do the same gesture. She has done this gesture at least 3 times, but I can't find the other example, which was prior to Day 22. I think she is either communicating with someone, or she is attempting to get...

Just thinking to myself- I know I don't offer much in the way of sophisticated analysis of the evidence and testimony in this case. That is OK. We do what we can. However, I do frequently note to myself that, if I lost a person I loved in this horrific way, it'd be a comfort to me to...

Maybe everyone else has burned out on the tiger Vs. bear juror question, but I am still thinking about it, because it is the most troublesome juror question of late. I think this was a poorly worded question written in haste. We have to remember that the jurors are writing the questions...

Maybe it has been said? I am so far behind. I don't know what happened to her shoes, but I'm sure she didn't wear them and she burned her socks along with her other clothing. No shoes, no tread pattern to leave behind. If she was barefoot, she'd likely leave a footprint. Just a smidge...

Isn't this the second time she has made this gesture? Is she communicating to someone?

I have been kicking around this idea of 1 plus a spare in the last few days, too. Maybe she thought she could just produce whichever receipts she wanted for proof of her alibi, and she didn't consider that there would be documentation electronically of everything she did. The second set was a...

Do you have anyone in your past who you'd say, "If I end up dead, S/he did it." I do. I jokingly refer to it as my "light stalking" with my friends, but the more I read here, the more I am glad I've covered my tracks. It all sounds familiar. I went out with Man "A" for over 10 years. He...

I know it has been said previously, pages way back. If they can prove premeditation then the self-defense claim is obliterated. To me the most important issue for the prosecution to address is the evidence of premeditation. We know JA killed Travis. The bulk of her defense has been the...

JA seems to do a lot of comparison shopping in the lubricant aisle.

What person would advertise to their roommates, "Hey, FYI-we're having sex in here!"

I think it is a principle of statement analysis to note when mundane or minute information is provided in a story about something horrifying. Most of us would reference the fear and the horror of the moment, not the routine details. I think the example used by statement analysis professionals...

If you listen to this ninja video again: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/04/jodi-arias-crime-scene-photos_n_2412031.html#slide=1989442 At 16.54, Jodi is describing the events leading up to the ninja attack and she is asked about the time of day when she and Travis were trying to look...
