Additional Jury Questions from March 7, 2013

Why would you hypothesize about filling a third gas can?

You stated today that you did not have professional help when dealing with your issues yet yesterday you mentioned talking to a psychiatrist about Travis' child 🤬🤬🤬🤬 issues.

You say you waited two years to tell the truth because you were ashamed. Does that mean you are no longer ashamed?

Did you look into a possibility of renting a GPS system when renting the rental car?

In the story of the man and woman attacking Travis you mention talking to him and also mention was T being on all fours. Do you in fact rmember any of those things?

You claim that everything happened so fast and you didn't have time to think so why did you grab the gun from the closet?

How can you say that you don't have memory issues when you stabbed him so many times and slit his throat?

Did Mr. Martinez cause you to shake during his questioning?

Can you please provide an estimate of how many times during the current trial?

After all the lies you have told, why should we believe you now?

What happened to the suicide letters you wrote to your Grandmother?

How can you kiss another man when you knew what you just did to Travis?

Were you in the fog when you were kissing Ryan?

Would you agree that you came away from the June 4th incident unscathed while Travis had a gunshot, his throat cut and stab wounds? (last part is paraphrased)


Nurmi Followup


KN:you were asked about receiving the book of Mormon from T and you had said you read a chapter a day, and there are some other questions that brought up the visits from the missionairies, the basis of some of these questions related to the law of chastity, one of the things you talked about as it related to the book of Mormon, does that contain a sort of list, as it related to premarital sex, activites that are okay or not okay?
JA: it's broad, ????
KN: for example the book of Mormon does not say that oral sex is okay or not okay. It does not spell it out.
JA: correct
You mention the missionairies being younger men that came to your house. And this kind of do's and don'ts list that wasn't in the book of Mormon did they give you anything of that nature?
JA: no, I had pamphlets and as far as the law of chastity goes that was not broken down
KN: when they explained to you from your answers that your take away was penile/vaginal
JA: I considered all kinds of sex, sex but when T explained it, vaginal sex was a place to not go until marriage.
KN: and in terms of going to this place of penile/vaginal intercourse, after these missionaries coming over were you still engaging in sex with DB?
JA: no
KN: part of what he heard in your questioning is that T served to provide you with elaboration if you will on the law of chastity.
JA: yeah he delineated it more
KN: so using oral sex as a continued example, oral sex is okay or not okay, he kind of provided that checklist for you
JA: yes
KN: and based on his teachings if you will, you came away from that, that the law of chastity only prevented penile/vaginal intercourse. after Travis taught you these things
JA: the law of chastity prohibited vaginal intercourse between a man and a woman and that it should be saved for marriage
KN: we heard as you answered these questions, that a guiding principal in your life was the law of attaction, and one of the things that came up, you also started talking about the secret. Is the secret part of the law of attraction?
JA: the secret is a film that came out in 2006. it's exactly the same thing. (book and movie)
KN: is that something you and Travis watched together?
JA: yes, he introduced me to the movie.
KN: but the law of attraction was something you were familiar with before?
JA: yes
KN: now we talked a little bit yesterday about your breakups with your boyfriends and I want to go back through that a little bit. You began with Bobby Juarez, you were 15?
JA: yes
KN: and you said you broke up with him and got back together a few times over the years. Can you explain that?
JA: I broke up with him because I felt the relationship was getting too serious and then after a few years I called him and then he called me back and then...there as a girl that came from Louisiana. and we were always breaking up and getting back together. When I went to Costa Rica that was 8 days I thought that was enough but he came to my job.
KN: and this conversation you just spoke of when you were in a phone booth, how old were you?
JA: I was 19, almost 20
KN: you spoke about this occasion when you gave him groceries after you broke up. Was this before this phone call or after?
JA: it was during one of the several break ups we had. it was before the phone call.
KN: after the phone booth call, you didn't make any other attempts
KN: You were asked about Victor Arias. It sounds like Victor was a gentleman sometime when you were in an off time with Juarez.
JA: it was during a time when I thought I would never see Bobby again
KN: you were asked about a trip you made to spend time with Victor's family in Costa Rica, what were the circumstances? You met Victor in Costa Rica?
JA: I met Victor when I was 16. It was right after my sophmore year and there were posters at the school, I told my parents I was going to Costa Rica and I worked at my Dads restaurant
it was an exchange program, they have some kind of rotating semester system and did extra curricular activities on the weekend.
met Victor during that time
KN: and so when you went to visit, we talked about the continued correspondence with Victor, was there continued communication with his family?
JA: yes, we would email. Victor would email my Mom.
KN: when you went back to Costa Rica was that to rekindle things with Victor?
JA: I was interested in maintaining a friendship, not romantic
KN: you also had a breakup with MM, and we heard about the conversation you had with Bianca and how he was unfaithful to you, that breakup then you had a conversation with MM after you spoke to Bianca.
JA: ummm I went to his father's house and when I show...arrived we...and we went into my car that was parked on the street and had a conversation, we both hugged and cried, we were both sad. it wasn't volatile.
KN: as far as after that conversation when you broke up did you disconnect yourself from MM for a while? did you still converse?
JA: after I sent him a really long email, part of the way I processed it was by writing everything down, I sent him the email about our relationship and how I felt. we talked on the phone but that was after a month.
KN: and afterwards a friendship built?
JA: I don't remember rekindling but he was looking for work and when he knew I was going to be staying in a campground he came with me, not as an intention to get back together with me, he was looking for work.
KN: you mentioned and it was questioned of you yesterday this idea that eventually, this man you were involved with sexually, was more like your brother, is h
JA; with time progressing and the separating, in spring 2002, the restuarant closed and MM's income went away so he moved to Vale Colorado, so I stayed there to earn a little bit of money and then when the season...MM came back to Ventana, and with that space I think he had a trailer and I went over there and we laughed and joked and he thought my blonde hair,

***we don't even really hug..or then we didn't***(slip up there???)

that was then and we are different now
and we are able to maintain a friendship.

Letting her ramble. Ramble on. Everytime Vinnie or Jean talks about Curt Nurmi, I think they are saying "Bert and Ernie."

Me too!!! Glad I'm not the only one!
 
  • #1,923
Wonder if JM wanted to object to the question 'did Mr. Martinez make you shake' I can only imagine how JM will get grief from his co-workers and pals.

Oh Juan .....you make me shake!!!!

I'd think he's probably used to that by now. :floorlaugh:

If I were up against him I'd be terrified. Not because of any abuse issues I have, just because he's damn good at his job.
 
  • #1,924
Anyone know when the hypothetical gas can usage was discussed? I went back to the media thread but can't find it. I don't even know if it was JM vs. JA or KN vs. JA. TIA

If you look at Huffington's post daily blogs on the trial, they have time-stamped posts of what questions were asked when, sort of like tweets.

I can't believe she's sticking with Travis saying "f***ing kill you, b****" and continuing to attack her - AFTER she shot him IN. THE. HEAD.

And she didn't think she hit him - she thought she hit the wall (said yesterday, anyway)... so WHY didn't she shoot him again? If she was afraid for her life, with a loaded gun in her hand... why wouldn't she use it to protect herself?

I think there were a couple of questions that were 'trick' questions - the gun box being one of them. Jury's on the ball.



OOOOH, I SO want Juan to ask her that one. Can we do a huddle??
 
  • #1,926
Ok so I can tell based off the HILARIOUS posts in this thread that we are all feeling very relieved after hearing the jury questions???

I kept thinking in the back of my mind they have to convict her right? And then a split second later a little voice would say well you thought that about Casey Anthony too.

Hearing these questions there is absolutely no question in my mind that they are NOT letting her walk. And I gather by their disdain for her they are going to be giving her death.
 
  • #1,927
You know she never shook. Not once. I think they were just trying to catch her in another lie.

I took it as another dig from a Juanette Juror. I wonder if it is the same juror asking all the sarcastic questions.

Maybe the same one that she corrected on the stand earlier - "Well, actually it wasn't a psychiatrist, it was a psychologist" (you stupid juror).
 
  • #1,928
I'll drink to that :toast: and add that Arias is quite adept at amphilogism (let's hear Jodi use that word in a sentence ;)).

Thanks for the new word. That's one I didn't know and it's a beaut! Jodi to a T.

Her trip to Costa Rica to visit the ex bf family is more like

Stalker returns to confront the guy. If he was living at home, he took off when he heard she was coming.

No normal woman travels all the way to Costa Rica to visit his "family" she did her signature return to the scene crap.
 
  • #1,930
Not if they see him live in this trial. I have always wondered if Jose Biaz has had another client since Casey?

Wasn't Jose Biaz crowing about representing the guy from Maryland who went to one of the islands in the Caribbean with a friend. The girl friend disappeared in low tide no rip tides kind of water. The guy had taken out boo coos of accidental death coverage from American Express. The coverage was not being paid due to circumstances. Don't know if they paid out or not. The woman is still missing.

I have a feeling Jodi was insistent on taking the stand believing she could manipulate the jury into believing her story.

Most psychopaths are further (unknowingly) enabled by their loved ones. Instead of being held accountable for their actions people dismiss or discount them. Dealing with one can be exhausting, terrifying, and very confusing.

I think this is very likely the first time Jodi has been called to task for her actions, and because manipulating and lying has always gotten her out of trouble or gotten her what she wanted before, she likely believed this time would be no different.

She can't see, of course, that people who love you are a lot more tolerant and forgiving, therefore easier to manipulate, than 18 strangers.

Totally agree. I think the only thing that can be done is to catch them early, stay on top of them, and make sure they have consistent consequences for their behavior.

What does this have to do with the price of tea in china!

Lol...as I previously stated...
Perhaps the defense strategy is to use this Chines Water Torture to get someone (jury, gallery, etc.) to crack and cause a mistrial? That's what her baby-daddy-2b says she expects mistrial.... :floorlaugh::floorlaugh:
 
  • #1,935
If I were on the jury I'd feel like the only power I had to stop this nonsense would be to GLARE at both Nurmi and the defendant. Would a juror get in trouble for that? Pretty sure it would send the message to SHUT UP and stop making us endure this for another second!
 
  • #1,936
I'd think he's probably used to that by now. :floorlaugh:

If I were up against him I'd be terrified. Not because of any abuse issues I have, just because he's damn good at his job.

Only if I were a big fat lying liar :floorlaugh:
 
  • #1,937
My only concern with her getting LWOP is that her delusion will keep her ignorant to her predicament. Travis is no longer here, but she gets to be housed, clothed, fed and crowned winner of Prison ***** Idol?

Doesn't seem fair imo.
 
  • #1,938
I even ran that by my hubby.....she said once she shot him in the face he got really mad.....

My husband was like yeah, I tend to get a little miffed when I get shot in the head too. I'd probably yell too, you know, that's the usual thing I do when I get shot in the head.

I am thinking the ME will be in the rebuttal case

squire (skwr)
n.
1. A man who attends or escorts a woman; a gallant.

4. A young nobleman attendant upon a knight and ranked next below a knight in feudal hierarchy. :waitasec:

Oh ok, I've called escorts before. Sorry KCL I aplogize.

Ok but you must admit, I have some awesome decibels. :great:

And stop talking to me...I'm trying to get dressed!!! Sir Steely! :what:

:runaway:

The Law of Attraction says Jodi will get what she gives out (basically). Like live streaming karma--at least that's how I think of it. I like the Law of Attraction, but it is not about what you say, but how you really think. Arias has it fundamentally wrong--the way she's explaining it, you would think all you had to do was pass out candy to get candy.

It's about creating a reality that matches the inner person. In this case it mandates the death penalty for Arias, no joke. She is completely disconnected from other people.

The juror who asked about her parents is trying to estimate the severity of her disconnect. Even those who have suffered breaches with parents have emotions about the disconnect. JA demonstrated none. She might as well have been talking about her feelings regarding the lack of use of the Dewey Decimal System.

Regarding her aunt--golly it's so hard for a sociopath to be a really good actress. "COME ON DOWN, Auntie.....it's my murder trial and you're on camera!" Her attorney didn't coach her on this one -- or maybe she is going off script on her answers because no big fat guy is going to tell her what to say when can use words like "delineated" and "ideation".

Pseudo-intellectual Arias does not realize that the only place "ideation" is used is in the medical world describing a mental state of suicide. NOBODY other than medical professionals use "ideation." It shows that she's been googling the proper state of mind to describe for her phony testimony.

Or talking to other inmates.. They are such good resources for testimony, words to use, etc. *roll eyes full sarcasm*
