100 questions from the jury: Arias answering on her 17th day on the stand #76

[rose222]

I just caught something I'd previously missed. JA says she wanted to commit suicide in whatever area and was leaving for that place on the day she was arrested. So she's saying she was arrested the day she wanted to kill herself. Oh boy!

The poster referred to an LDS conference. Was that the conference in question or was it a PPL conference?

Speaking for myself only...when comparing the witnesses...Jodi loses every time. IMO everyone is mistaken..but her! Ryan lied, this guy was mistaken, etc... I think we are past the presumption of innocence part..if I were a juror.

Do you think the defendant had any clue that the jurors were mocking her with certain questions?

She didn't seem to be phased by the implications of some of the questions.

I have personally never seen this degree of crazy. While CA could lie like a rug, she didn't seem delusional. I think she realized she was evil but didn't care. This chick? Well, she seems to believe the BS she spins and spews. The medical field should examine her brain.

P.S. Are the questions almost over?

JA has this ease and an air of nonchalance when testifying. There is absolutely no hint of the seriousness of her crime or her fate in her speech tones, affect or body language. She speaks with a rush of words that suggests she is manic.

Obviously she has no insight into the emotionality that normally attends such discussions. Her testimony and all her bizarre hand movements occur as if she is having a Saturday AM talk with her next door neighbor. Perhaps she regards the jury as her bosom buddies who believe every word uttered from her mouth. She does not readjust her testimony strategy – for her it is full steam ahead.

We know JA is not mentally ill ie suffering from schizophrenia or manic delusions. We know she exemplifies an extreme case of a personality disorder characterized by narcissism. We know she represents a species of psychopathy.
Her behavior over the past several days implies she is probably delusional - ie delusions of grandeur.
She undoubtedly believes her lies are very clever and plausible. My hunch is that if some anointed one came along with whom JA would confide JA would proudly boast how convincingly she BS s here way through this trial. She would describe her various poses including the “battered waif”, the “sobbing martyr”, “ the “sex slave”, the “obedient Mormon”, and the “helpful law abiding citizen”. For her this trial is really an interesting contest that she thinks she can handily win – like the Prison American Idol contest.

She has prepared and vetted the JA “official explanation line” since 2010 and has all facets of this story perfectly memorized. She strongly believes that she is able to convincingly connect all the dots in this case. She has carefully prepared all the elements of “battered woman syndrome”, and TA as “sexual deviant”. She thinks her explanations of all the “seeming” premeditation have been batted down. She is HOPEFUL that her “perception” of TA yelling “kill you *****” coupled with the “I was in MORTAL FEAR” clears up her NEED to use force in the service of self-defense. The over-kill aspect is to be completely avoided due to her abrupt and complete LOSS OF MEMORY.

Consequently she is very pleased with herself and her performance. In the same vein I do not think she is UNAWARE that she is lying. I do not think she is delusional in so far as she TRULY believes her stories.
She is simply a cunning audacious psychopath who is self absorbed , who loves theatrics and who loves duping the unsuspecting.

Has anyone seen this? Probably already posted. Apologies in advance if we're not supposed to post videos.

I thought this was interesting.

:seeya:Hi Y'all! Just got here and see that court is late again........bombshell!
I'm having a hard time turning this case off at night when it is time to sleep. I'll be glad when it is over. March 25 reportedly the start of closing arguments, meaning that jurors probably will not get to deliberate until after the Easter Holidays. I'm looking forward to the rest of the jurors' questions and the new ones that were submitted yesterday.

 

[Paintr]

not so redeeming IMO...IIRC he was just starting up his 'let's protect sexual predators, rapists, etc" law firm and said acting as her attorney would affect him greatly financially...so he is now being paid $225.00 per hour for dragging Travis through the muck and mire.

And from his cases he was familiar with the muck and mire, at least enough to know which details would push people's buttons.

Thank you for clearing that up for me! I hate it that he was wrong but I want facts, not the stuff JA is handing out. TY!

 

[rose222]

I bet the first thing jurors did yesterday after court is to look up the meaning of edify/de-edify. lol.

 

[leebee52]

I wish someone would ask her how she drove from Travis's to the middle of the desert in her "fognesia". How come she kept going the right way? How come she didn't crash?

 

[tlcya]

I am thrilled there are so many questions from the jury. It means they are following the trial rather than sleepwalking through it as I feel another jury in a high profile case did.

They are following intently from eh look of the questions.

This makes me very hopeful that when it is time to deliberate, they will be in there doing their duty much longer than a few hours.

I found that conference, I think it said March 18-22

He was only off a week or so. I wonder if he is still correct on what he saw

http://www.legalshieldcalendar.com/ok
that is a link to a PPL calendar for March 2008. It was March 12-16th

I believe JA said according to her text messages she first dyed her hair on March 21 or 22nd.

The video that was played on Dr. D the last few nights.... I believe that was from March 2008 too, and she was clearly blonde. So he was right that when he met her, she was blonde, he was wrong on the date though. I posted about this last night... because it annoys me that no one checked these calendars before testifying or asking the questions (both Juan and Nurmi) JMO

 

[gitana1]

What time is this supposed to start?

 

[Really?]

:bdsong:

Happy Birthday HO.......I hope you get your wish also:rocker:

 

[hindsight2020]

Just wanna stick my head in here and say HI:seeya: before the threads start taking off.

I can't believe we have heard over 150 questions from the juror, from what I've read and heard, yesterday was a good for the prosecution, although, I can't wait until this pathetic liar gets off the stand, just when you think she can't stick the knife in any further she goes on with the blathering.:furious:

Hopefully, we'll see Juan back in action real soon!
