O/T but I smile each time I see your posts. I loved Dr. Vass! He was the best!

I adore him!
(Sorry about getting so pissy everyone....this trial is hard on me)

Hey Plumeria...I was born and raised in HI...I can still smell the plumerias :)

I didn't know he had been a victim of armed robbery. Now, that I know that I think of Arias there beside him. No expressions of sympathy or caring about what he had gone through. She was too busy trying to get a nap and he was keeping her from getting one.

She was "sleeping " on him. Basically "not aware" of what he was recounting which in it's own right was a chilling and unusual circumstance for one to find oneself in. Her affect? "Ok ok, I've heard this story already and I'm bored". 'Nuff said. What does this have to do with the price of ME?

I think she's meaning to use deify everytime she says edify and de-edify, that is if she wants it to make sense in the context she's using it. She says edify in the context of boosting TA's image, but edify means to basically impart an understanding of a subject (usually moral or religious). Ed-ify think the imparting of education. She's meaning to say she's canonize him, but ends up saying she's illuminating others on him as a moral or religious type subject. Guess that's what you get for trying to learn big words in the big house!

I'm not a linguist, so if I'm wrong and there's another meaning of edify that fits her context please forgive me as I'm not aware of one.

Everybody seems to think this weird use of the word edify is PPL-speak.

We're laughing about this but really, how sick is this woman? How could she have said this today in answer to the jury's question? That she actually thought her artwork would be placed beside a Monet or a Van Gogh? If I wasn't convinced of her warped view of events before, I certainly would be after a response like that. A six-year old child would know better. That was beyond ridiculous.

You are so right, and ridiculous is exactly what it was. But I find humor in her absolute gall. I think she really does think she's a great artiste.

I agree with the many here who have said she's an empty shell. She really doesn't have any character, so she creates one. She's kind, she's thoughtful, she's loving and caring, she's a hard worker (yeah right), a loving daughter (uh huh), a "good person", and a talented photographer/artist (laughing out loud now). It's a recurring theme with her with the religion, the "Rules of Attraction" BS, and everything else she claims to ascribe to. She is an empty husk who lacks any kind of true human personality. She sucks up what she can absorb from those around her to make her appear to be whatever she wants to be at the moment.

I hope and pray she never gets out of prison. I think she is dangerous and, if given a chance, will hurt someone again.

I don't know what canon she had but video capability has been around for a long time now even on point an shoots. Any photographers amongst us?

She mentioned taking the S500 into the house because it had video capability. I've had a few of these (Canon S-series Elf, I believe) and they could take video in 2002-3 when I got my first one.

I only remember her mentioning it because I saw the photo of her holding a camera that looked like mine when in a limo (her myspace page - I broke down and peeked), and when she specified the model I thought, "Ew... she has a camera like mine? I don't like that."

I don't know beyond that but the S-500 is a Canon. Unless Olympus has a camera model with the same name... ?

She's holding what looks like a Canon SLR/Rebel in that spookie selfie. Have one of those too. All the instructions (and icons on the camera/screen itself are in Japanese. I didn't buy it).

Perhaps I misheard but that's my take on the subject. Doesn't help much, I'm afraid.

She did fill the gas cans on her way back. She made the following purchases:

6/6, 3:57 am - SLC Utah - Tesoro; Mastercard 2015, 10.6 gallons, $41.18
6/6, 4:05 am - SLC Utah - Tesoro; Mastercard 2015; Fuel $36.98, 9.58 gallons

However I do think this was part of her plan. She wanted to cover her tracks and use the story that she borrowed the cans for cheaper gas.

The (2) gas cans belonging to DB were empty b/c she used them in N.Arizona - S.Nevada to fill up the car on the way to West Jordan. IMO, she probably ditched the 3rd can after burning the evidence.

Everybody seems to think this weird use of the word edify is PPL-speak.

I think that is correct, having heard Jodi and Travis both use it in the same unusual manner. I believe that Ryan also used "edify" in this way in one of the text messages and/or in his testimony.

106) why would you continue to carry around your journals with you if you thought it was possible others like Travis might find them and read them?
107) why were the laws of attraction so important to follow but the law if chastity was not?
108) do the laws if attraction also apply to recording phone sex conversations?
109) you stated there were times that Travis made you tear out pages where you had written negative things about him. Right before that you stated you would never write negative things about Travis in your journal. Which is correct?

116) you said you bought a gun to commit suicide but never ended up doing so. What stopped you from doing so?
117) you stated you wouldn't want kids with Travis because you would be worried about them. Why then did you tell Leslie you couldn't wait for your kids and Travis' kids to play together at future ppl events?
118) a lot of your answers to the questions you were asked made it seem like you put Travis' feelings and priorities before your own. If that were true why didn't you call for help after you shot Travis?
119) why did you decide to tell the truth two years after the killing?
120) what made you change you mind and tell everyone about Travis' secret-the child picture?
121) you said you were sick to your stomach when you saw Travis with child pictures, so why did you sleep with him again?
122) would you classify your relationship with Travis Alexander as a love/hate relationship?
123) on June 4 2008 after you got up and ran toward the bathroom closet is it possible that Travis picked up the camera and moved it? Could that also explain the delay in his arrival and his anger at the closet door threshold?
124) given that there are guiding principles such as the law of attraction and passing down journals to future generations do you feel the Mormon church encourages burying the truth about issues that may be considered embarrassing?
125) can you give a few examples of what might be considered negative other than those already discussed?
126) how do you determine when you will tell the truth and when you will not tell the truth? What are the determining factors?
127) when did you find Travis' gun? Was it kept loaded in the closet?
128) today, March 5 2013, you stated before lunch that you think you filled the car up first. If you did have the third gas can, as we saw in several hypothetical situations after lunch, do you see it possible to put 8.301 gallons if gas in the car exhibit 237.011 and then 9.59 gallons and 2.74 gallons for a total of 12.368 gallons in the remaining 3 gas cans exhibits 237.012 and 237.013
129) you have described that sex was a way for Travis to relieve stress and later testified that sex was a way to relieve anger. Which is true? How do you know that?
130) would a screwdriver be required to take off the license plates
131) did you find it strange that only your license plate was messed with in that parking lot?
132) if you were travelling to a place you had never been before, meaning Utah, why didn't you map out different towns that would have gas or rest stations?
133) did you ever see a doctor for your memory issues?
134) if you were scared if Travis' anger and violence why would you go upstairs when he was banging his head when you knew he was already mad?
135) did Travis ever tell you he kept his gun loaded?
136) if you did not think the gun was loaded why chance grabbing a gun that might not be loaded? Instead of just running outside?
137) you stated that when you walked out of Starbucks you did not notice anything wrong with the car. How us it that the back license plate ended upside down?
138) why did you plan on going to see John Dixon when you were on your way to Utah to see Ryan?
139) how many men are you willing to be involved with at the same time
140) did you ever seek medical help for your mental condition? Have you ever taken medication for your memory issue? Did you ever tell anyone about your condition prior to the killing?
141) you told us you weren't able to make out the license plate leaning up against the curb because you are nearsighted. What is your prescription in each eye?
142) did anyone ever see you shaking?
143) so any of your journal entries discuss you shaking, blacking out or getting scrambled?
144) you claim to have memory lapses or gaps during times of stress or when you're being grilled. How is it you have such specific memories of violence and yelling by Travis such a long time ago if this is the case

Everybody seems to think this weird use of the word edify is PPL-speak.

I think that the word is used like so many of her words - incorrectly. She likes to make it look like she is such a fabulous linguist. She's just a 2 bit con/killer who somehow discovers words and uses them, hoping that those hearing these words won't know what they mean. (I would have said "big words", but edify isn't that big).
 
  • #813
I wonder if Judge Stephens made Nurmi stay after school today and mop up all of the sewage and horse***** Arias slung at the jury.
 
  • #814
Who's "everybody"?

It's what I understood from those who were posting when the original question came up of why she was using this word. You're right, I shouldn't have used the word everybody.
 
  • #815
Old timey Baptists use "edifying" as an adjective to mean inspiring or soul strengthening, as in "Pastor, your sermon sure was edifying this morning." The word may be used among LDS folks in a unique way too.

That is normal usage. Jodi's usage is unusual and incorrect.
 
  • #816
I adore him!
(Sorry about getting so pissy everyone....this trial is hard on me)

Hey Plumeria...I was born and raised in HI...I can still smell the plumerias :)

Aloha!!:greetings:
 
  • #817
Monet and Van Gogh.................RIGHT JODI :laughcry: :floorlaugh:


ETA: I'm talkin' about Jodi and look at the number of my post :gasp: 666!!!

BBM

I thought I cleared this up in the last thread. They're Claude Monet and Harry Van Gogh from Pasadena. :tsktsk:


Please help me understand why this story was a near death experience for Travis. I think of it more as a premonition. Set me straight okay?:

It was real. A guy was holding a gun to his head during a robbery and he was afraid he was going to die. Maybe that's why she shot him in the head last.
 
  • #818
I thought about the sound of the gun in the bathroom also being especially loud because of the tiled floor and walls. I am so surprised none of the neighbors didn't hear a gun shot!

Well, even though the bathroom windows faces the street, the shot would have been muffled to the outside and, with a single gunshot, it would be hard to tell where it came from.

People might have heard a shot and either thought nothing of it, or thought it too vague to report. And as this was Mesa in June, most likely the only people who could have heard it were either in cars or sitting in air conditioned houses with the windows closed.

That no one reported it after the fact that we know of, suggests no one heard it at all.

CAN ANYBODY HELP REFRESH MY MEMORY ON THIS (FROM 10 LETTERS DISCUSSION THREAD)

I heard/read that she stole TAs journals. They could be used to "copy" his handwriting or scan-copy-paste....
 
  • #820
She may have gathered the bloody towels and other things and the camera got rolled up in it and she threw it ALL in the wash. Amen for that because without that camera card, there's a good chance she would have gotten away with this.

With a bloody handprint on the wall of TA's bathroom and a clump of her hair (root attached) with TA's blood on it at the murder scene? Not.a.chance. She was going to be busted for this murder whether there were pictures or not that day. The pictures just help nail down the timeline and force her into a confession.
