100 questions from the jury: Arias answering on her 16th day on the stand #75

[Pensfan]

I have the same RX as Jodi.

I can see distance up to 5-7 feet without my glasses but it is blurry. Up close I can see fine.

Do you have to take off your glasses to read? tia

When it's potty humor, like the definition of "," I defer to my kids. It's just not funny to me at my age. Under any circumstances for any reason -- especially in a murder trial. That a juror would ask a question like that is a sad commentary on the quality of jurors in Maricopa county, imo. Yes, let's define "" so we can decide whether to sentence you to death. Seriously??? My point was that even my 14 yo gets that.

I don't think the juror asked the question for any reason other than frustration and to send a couched message to Jodi. It has nothing to do with how the juror will arrive at a decision about Jodi's guilt IMO

I cannot imagine being on this jury for all these weeks, being subjected to so much inane, irrelevant testimony about sexual issues and what I perceive to be shameless lying, self-serving testimony from the defendant -- and having no outlet to vent or decompress or even process all the information and experience of being a juror. It's got to be incredibly stressful, boring, tedious, among other things -- I'm not going to begrudge a juror for letting out some frustration in this manner.

I understand why you do not think it's funny, but I also understand why others, like me, find a bit of humorous stress relief in the way this question was posed.

You know what upset me? Last night, I can't remember what show - It was either Nancy Grace or Dr. Drew, but while they were replaying an interview that Tanisha and did - they had a split screen and audio of Jodi singing that dang song! You could barely hear over it to hear Tanisha!! It was really disrespectful of the producer to do that. I'm still mad about it tonight.

Emotional manipulation. The opposite of respect for their subject matter OR the viewers. Pandering. Too bad, they destroy their own credibility. Dr. Drew is quickly putting himself into the category of Dr. Phil.

You guys, I'm sorry I'm really trying to behave over here, but I keep randomly cracking up every time I think about the question "What is your understanding of the word ""?" :floorlaugh::rocker::great:

It has been randomly popping back into my head all night and I start laughing all over again. At this point my husband just rolls his eyes.

:dance::laugh:

There was a call at 8:16 p.m. on June 3 from Jodi to Travis that lasted 2 minutes. She claims this is when she told him that she is coming to Arizona (at his request/guilting). Her phone then went silent for 20 hours.

I do not believe she told him she was coming because that would have given Travis 8 hours to tell someone else that Jodi was coming, and she was very determined to be a ghost in Arizona.

Exactly!!!!!!!

The question about Ryan Burns saying when he met Jodi in March of 2008 at a PPL convention and her hair was blonde... And she had a typical snooty answer... Something like,

"anyone who knows anything, know that the PPL convention is in April every year NOT March so Ryan is obviously mistaken"​

Well, apparently Jodi is the one who doesn't know what she is taking about!!! Take a look at this!! In 2008 the convention was in MARCH!!

Ryan had said it was in April. Jodi today said it was in March.

These questions are funnier than the ones we thought they'd ask ... seriously funny stuff, these guys are just like us it's amazing.

80) what is your understanding of the word ""?
81) why did you share housing with Matt at the time you were in a relationship w Travis?
82) were there any girls living there that you could've roomed with?
83) how could you be a sister to Matt, a man you'd had sex with in the past?

115) during cross examination you were asked if you were crying when you stabbed Travis and you said no. How would you know if you had a memory gap at that time?

I can't believe I missed these live .. absolutely hilarious!!!!

They're just taunting her before they put her to death or away for life like we would have given the chance .. I love this jury, it's brilliant!!

Edifice is a noun derived from the verb edify I believe. Minor4th is correct, JA is using the word incorrectly and inappropriately.

I know JA is using edify incorrectly. Why do you think edifice is derived from edify? Can you provide a source to support this statement?

I read that both these words are derived from the latin word aedificāre to build

edifice |ˈedəfis|
noun formal
1 a building, esp. a large, imposing one.
2 a complex system of beliefs: the concepts on which the edifice of capitalism was built.

edify |ˈedəˌfī|
verb ( edifies, edifying, edified ) [ with obj. ] formal
instruct or improve (someone) morally or intellectually.

That's not what she said. Ryan said the convention was in April and Jodi confirmed it was in March before she dyed her hair.

 

[ElleElle]

Yup. Driving without my glasses @ night would be very difficult, especially if I am driving unfamiliar streets etc.

I just asked my husband - his Rx is the same. He confirmed no driving without...esp at night.

 

[polleypockets]

From what I have heard he is fine. A girl friend of his... Her name starts with a D has him.

My sister's vision is so awful I asked her what her numbers are she is: -7.25 left eye and -6.50 right eye... She always wears contacts but if she has an issue and needs glasses she wears the glasses in the shower because the fog is better than being without her glasses! I asked her to try and gauge JA's vision impairment but my sister's is so much worse I really can't use her as a comparison so thanks for the reference! Your daughters numbers are much more similar!

I'm -6.00 in the left eye and -5.00 with a -1.25 astigmatism in the right eye. I don't shower with glasses or contacts in, but I have everything set up in the shower so that I already know where it is. I can's speak to JA's prescription exactly, but I find it unlikely she didn't know her vision wasn't good. PLUS, she's around my age and in school the school nurse checked our vision once or twice a year even in high school so I can't see how it wasn't caught before if she indeed is nearsighted.

Oops! Never mind.. I think got it backwards... Yuck... jodi was right...

Did we ever figure out where "" even came from? Was that word used previously in the case? I don't remember it, but it must have been, no? Would a juror just outright ask that? I think that's why it was so shocking. None of us really remember that word being used before today and it could have been worded much more eloquently.

Nope! Tells me what that juror thinks of her sexual behavior. And I don't consider it "-shaming" in this case, because she is a psychopathic/sociopathic murderer.

Sad commentary on the quality of jurors in Maricopa county? Maybe it was an elderly juror who honestly didn't know what the word meant? I doubt my grandmother would know the definition of a .

He wanted nothing to do with this "Thing" anymore. She is toast in my opinion! She forgets throwing the camera into the washing macine? Get Real. She didn't even want to become Mormon. What a farce!

Imagine not being able to make your house or rent payment because of Jodi's continuous lies. :furious: (The State of Arizona is not a state that requires employers to reimburse employees for time lost while on jury duty.)

I do think I heard it mentioned, that Travis (of course) called someone that, or maybe her that as a joke, or some-such.
