aggravation phase #9 - VERDICT - Extreme Cruelty PROVEN

[Bravo]

I don't know if I'll be able to get through that without an Ativan. It's going to be SO SAD. It's hard enough just seeing them in the gallery. Ugh.

I know. I always seem to move thru phases during Trials. After the horror of the pictures of Travis what bothers me now is poor Travis seeing her evil face and listening to her evil rant. The terror he must have felt :stormingmad: Travis's Sisters pain has tore me up more days than I can count. Now it's Steven who just brings me to my knees.

i think KN and JW want jodi to get the DP....i mean why else in this world would you call an ex-inmate to save someones life?!

i suppose it could be worse,donovan could be up there,or mr carr wherever he has went :facepalm:

JMO but I think they are going to try to shop how she could be helpful to inmates if she is given LWOP..she got her GED, so they can say how she could help others get their GED.........what else have hey got!

Others have posted the video of yesterday's post-verdict reaction by JA, and I wonder if anyone mentioned how Jodi looks pleadingly at JW who does not turn to face her client. I sensed that Jodi was :stormingmad: that JW seems to be done with her and wants nothing more to do with the convicted murderer who is now eligible for the DP. JW definitely tried to keep her distance from the defendant yesterday and no longer wants to be BFF with Jodi. This will not sit well with Ms. Arias. :moo:

We definitely haven't heard the last of this. The upcoming story is going to be all about her attempts to ruin both of them. And you can mark my words on that! (Lord, I hate saying that now.)

Yes he was. HE was at MY house :blushing:

 

[Hopeful One]

Me too. Didn't Mark call last night?

No, that jerk!!! He was too busy chatting it up on DD. Apparently he doesn't have time for me.

There is no way JA is going to pass up one last chance to speak. She will never apologize. She will go out in a blaze of crazy.

 

[Smelly Squirrel]

Their request to withdraw puts their dilemna on the record and deprives CMJA of her only chance to appeal based on ineffective counsel.

They wouldn't do it for that purpose.

Ugh!! You two!! :slapfight:

 

[Dum-Dum Sucker]

I'm not. But ...I rejoice in the siblings ability to finally speak out. It should be cathartic and a bit empowering for them.

It will be interesting to watch Jodi's reaction...

I hope the killer is made to sit up straight and pay strict attention.

Going through my music collection I came across this mashup and it made me think of think of the Alexander Family....I pray they get through this day with strength and courage

She may have asked her family not to take the stand so that she can enforce the damsel in distress routine. Look, no one cares about me, not my family, no one. I was abused and no one cared, first by my family and then by my boyfriends. All that to garner sympathy from the jury. I think she may try and I emphasize try to show remorse today. It will not come across as real remorse. It will be just words and come across as that, the jury has her number.

I don't see any other way. She's done IMO. Practicing my breathing exercises, in through the nose and out through the mouth to get through this. It's going to be hard to listen to today, it will be all junk.

That could work. I mean, it's not like they have a lot of options at this point but whatever tactic the defense uses, it's going to be apparent, to the jury, that her family has supported her by showing up for court everyday. Still grasping at straws, I think.

 

[Sleuth5]

The question is - was it a sincere attempt to withdraw or was it a strategic move for a delay and/or setting a place or two at the appeal table.

Charlie, I'm agreeing with you, and in the words of Darren Kavinoky, this one was entirely "strategery,"™®, intended to lay foundation for future appeals.

Thank you for telling it straight as a parent who has endured many years of despair and sorrow in dealing with a child who is out of control and beyond help. Most parents never have to deal with a child like this.

Judging is easy unless they have walked in your shoes.

(Sneaking in from work again......)

I don't have any children. Got married at 40 and it was just too late! We have moved on and that was 11 years ago.

Cricket49 you were responding to a post that mentioned nature/nurture.


I have one younger sister (by 7years) and a younger brother (by 4 years).

We were all brought up in the same home. My mother went through a lot despair and anguish with my brother--he was "diagnosed" as "hyperactive"--that's what they called it back in the day. He was always in trouble. I mean I could tell you stories. AND NO he did not kill anybody..My mother did every thing she could do for him, doctors, family therapy (ugh!). He did what he wanted anyway.

The point is nature vs nurture. Why did my brother do bad things and me and my sister did not?? Answer is, to me, he was just born that way.

Arias was going to be who she is, turn out like she did...no matter what!

And God Bless you cricket49 for whatever it is you are going through or have gone through. I saw what my mother went through with my brother!!!

 

[jojomonkey]

I agree. She probably won't apologize, because JA does not like being wrong, and admitting guilt would be admitting she was wrong. But Little Missy SO likes to be the super-center of attention. She may show remorse just to grab the spotlight by shocking the hell out of everybody!

It's possible. I would imagine her DT and MS have all told her by now that the more remorseful she appears the better it will be for her. I just don't think she can fake remorse, she's even a horrible fake crier. I would love to see a complete breakdown from her but I am not holding my breath.

She thinks she's putting on a face of strength and control but really it just makes her look more alien and cold-hearted. Show some humanity and maybe she'll get LWOP, but so far the jury has seen none.

Those things are what I can't get past either. It's running through my mind a billion times a day. Sometimes I think life would be easier if we weren't so caring and soft-hearted.

 

[Sleuth5]

And it did!!! :floorlaugh:

:floorlaugh: Boing.

 

[SunnyinMO]

Wait a minute.....help me out, folks.


I just went and read Beth K's twitter and I can't find where she says that Jodi's mom isn't speaking on her behalf.

Can someone link me up?

I did the same thing and couldn't find it either...now I am going to check her facebook

It will only go in one ear and out the other. I think she's probably stare straight ahead with her reptilian tongue darting out...rarely blinking her dead shark eyes.

Empathy isn't on her make-up.
