she definitely said 'matt' saw her bruises.

so i'd think being an eyewitness and all.....the jury will wonder why nurmi isn't going to call matt.

 

[A_News_Junkie]

Did she just say Travis would dress up as spiderman?

Yes, she sure did. I heard it.

 

[LotusPawprint]

A comment made a while back here made me want to throw up. This is a victim friendly site, isn't it? Thanks. God Bless Travis.

I'm just going to bump your post.

 

[minor4th]

She cannot distinguish between edify and eulogize. She thinks they are the same word.

I hate to say this, but I think she picked that up from Travis. I watched one of his PPL videos last night, and he used the word "de-edify" him in the same way. Bizarre.

 

[Smelly Squirrel]

She won't be as ready for JM's followups.

 

[BritsKate]

And who would want to save and memorialize something from someone who abused you? It would feel like a brand, A degrading mark. You would want it gone.

Uh huh. I bought a very expensive bottle of wine and had a 'bonfire' myself. :great:

Note: I did not have knickers with my ex's name on them though. For the record.

 

[paperwing]

she is talking FAST and NERVOUS like a kid LYING

Great observation (and I agree completely) I re-watched yesterday's testimony last night... there is something up with the gas cans - if you watch her when KN gets to the gas can questions, she starts swallowing hard, breathing hard and talking SO fast in one answer - it sounded JUST like the voicemail she left on Travis' cell only hours after she killed him.

I can't help but wonder if there's something we don't know or she's afraid will come out but that line of questioning really got to her. In a bad way. imv.

Same here. DH and I have separate emails and/or passwords for websites that we frequent. We have always respected each other's privacy.

I sincerely doubt that they "traded" passwords. Based on her methodology, she somehow spied on or figured out Travis's password.....She was obsessed.

 

[Arishia]

Why The F^*K does she keeps saying they "traded passwords?" I have been with DH for 20 YEARS, and he doesn't have mine/I don't have his...

You know, it was her ultra-familiarity with all aspects of Travis' life that got me interested in this trial in the first place. She knew far more about every nook and cranny of his life than I know about my husband of 25 years.

Jury questions for Jodi Arias

--Starts with the judge asking the lawyers to approach for a sidebar.
--Court is delayed due to technical difficulty, no microphones working.
--Judge is reading the preliminary jury instructions about jury questions and how they are dealt with.
--Questions will be asked in the order they were submitted

1) did mr. alexander pay for a majory of your trips?
Answer: we split it. Sometimes he paid and I paid him back and other times I paid and he paid me back.

2) if he did pay was that a factor in questioning his choices, eg. introduction to others and sleeping arrangements?
Answer: TA created the itineraries (missed the rest)

3) was it his money, his choices? Answer: it was his choices on the church history trips, the choices were mutual as far as 1000 places to see, sometimes it was his money and I would pay him back.

4) why did you put the camera in the washer?
Answer: I don't have memory of that and don't know why I did it.

5) did you ever take pictures of yourself after he hit you?
Answer: no I did not

6) why did you call the cops on your ex who shook you but you never called the cops on Travis?
Answer: it was a very negative experience (with the ex) and then years and years later as far as June 4th there were no phones upstairs and I knew TA would make up for it if I called.

7) why would you continue to sleep with TA after you learned of his child issues?
Answer: that was a side of Travis that he wated to even exist. I was under the impresseion when he was able to sleep with a woman he felt more normal as a man. I had seen so many good qualities. This incident was...(missed all of it)

8) why didn't you just change your gmail password?
Answer: it didn't really become a problem right away and after I moved it did become a problem and I eventually did change my password. we had a conversation on May 22, 2008 that we weren't going to do that anymore.

9) did Travis' closet doors have locks on them? Answer: I don't remember them having any locks. Question: if "no" how did you have time to get the gun down if he was right behind you.
Answer: I don't know if he was right behind me or not I just had the sense he was chasing me.

10) did you record other phone sex conversations?
Answer: yes

11) Ryan Burns testified that he met you at a PPL convention in April 2008 and you had blonde hair? How is that possible?
Answer: Ryan Burns is mistaken about the date.

12) why did you feel so uncomfortable with anal sex with Travis when you had previously tried it?
Answer: in previous relationships it was something we tried once or twice. with Travis that was his preference and that is why I got the KY, it made it less uncomfortable.

13) you took pictures of the shirt and shorts, did you take pictures of the spiderman underwear? Answer: I didn't take pictures because it was embarassing. I didn't want people to know it was a problem of his.

14) you told DB you wanted to wait until marriage to have sex, if that were the case why did you have sex with Travis?
Answer: My understanding at the time, the missionaries didn't overly preach about chastity, Travis and I had intimate conversations, vaginal sex is off limits and everything else is not frowned upon (paraphrasing)

15) Travis stated in the phone sex, he did not like Spiderman why did he send you Spiderman underwear?
Answer: I don't know why they were spiderman, the year prior, there was a child he was close with that really liked spiderman, Martinez objects

16) why would you tell Leslie you wanted your children to play with Travis' if you felt T was into younger children?
Answer: I wanted to edify Travis only in good ways. Statement was made on June 5th. I wanted him to be ????

17) if you had bruises, why is it that no one else said anything to you about the bruises.
Answer: there was a PPL associate that made a joke about it, we were at a business briefing, I felt like I got beet red, thought the makeup was covering them. I was putting more makeup on. (She said something about Matt seeing them too but I was mixed up as she was talking about a PPL convention)

18) if you were so nearsighted, how were you able to drive?
Answer: I never had a problem driving, I could see where I was going on the freeway but had to get closer to see signs. in 2010 I put on glases and everything was sharp.

19) in Travis' text to Jodi, exhibit 44, he talks about the mysterious man that wrote to you, who is this man?
Answer: steve carroll, he wrote me a very nice email whichwent to my gmail account, I never met steve,

20) did T think it was someone you lied about? Answer: I think he did

21) you took a photo of the pink t-shirt and undies
Answer: they were taken in July I knew my time was winding down and by that point I heard several rumours that said I was obsessed. if somebody finds these it looks strange, they were sentimental to me, they were special.

22) you testified that Travis gave you the book of Mormon did you read it thoroughly?
Answer:I attempted to read one chapter a day and finished it about 8 months later. I started in January.

23) does the book of Mormon go into detail about the vow of chastity? Answer: doesn't go into detail. uses terms such as whoredom and being unclean.

24) who intitiated contact after the vaious break ups, start with Bobby.
Answer: with Bobby we broke up and got together so many times it would be hard to remember. one time I was packing and driving away, he lived in Montague, small town, he had nothing, no food no money, I sort of initiated...I bought groceries and left them at the door. he called me as he knew it was me.

 

[SusieD]

I'm just saying a juror asked about the book of Mormon and if there is a Mormon juror, they may have less respect for Travis because of his actions.

I doubt they would feel he should be slaughtered for pre-marital sex.

They're not the Taliban.

 

[Nali87]

I liked the questions so far, especially:


1. Travis said he didn't like spiderman - WHy would he get you spiderman underwear?
2. Did the closet doors have locks on them!? (You lived there and you don't know?)
3. If you had anal sex before, why was it uncomfortable with Travis? (You enjoy anal, don't cha?)
4. In all your previous relationships, who tried to make up? (You've always been a stalker Jodi?)
5. If you took pictures, why didn't you take any of your bruises?
6. If you called the cops on a previous boyfriend that hit you, why not Travis?
7. If you thought Travis was a pedophile, why would you want your future kids around him!?
8. Why did you put the camera in the washer!?


etc, etc.

 

[SuperTmo]

Did she just say Travis would dress up as spiderman?

YES! And the camera was on Sam on HLN and I'm pretty sure Sam's eyes opened a little wider in surprise...

 

[ButForFortune]

Dont know about you guys but it sure doesn't take me 8 months to read a book.

Ha ha - I noted that also. She said she tried to read a chapter a day, right? How many chapters does the Book of Mormon have!!??

 

[kscornfed]

I just don't know if the jury has seen?heard it. Anyone tell me???

no, because nobody's proven she wrote it. just like the tires.

 

[Smelly Squirrel]

I just don't know if the jury has seen?heard it. Anyone tell me???

No, they have not. The tire slashing neither.

[ScarlettScarpetta]

I'm impressed with the variety and scope of questions. These jurors take their job seriously and are going to do the right thing.

Me too. I think the questions show that they are paying attention and that no detail is escaping them. I think the questions they are asking are ones we have asked or wanted to. And they all back up the premeditated case. Not self defense.

I feel better now hearing the questions so far.

 

[Sigh Sister]

Did she just say Travis would dress up as spiderman?

I understood her to mean that the little boy liked to dress up as spiderman.
