Closing Arguments- thread #172

[Chelly]

Sorry if asked and answered. Having trouble keeping up with the pace:

Did Jodi's granny have a tissue wrapped around a certain finger displayed by her face?

You know, Tanisha doesn't usually crack during testimony. She's wearing her fierce face and I understand. But today when the camera panned and she was bawling, my heart dropped.

And The Butcher of Mesa sits scribbling, flipping her hair and looking disinterested.

Scribble on you murdering beast. They're prepping that table for you right now.

OMG for your nom de plume for Arias.

 

[Colt46]

That is sad. Reality must be setting in for her. Hearing Juan putting it all together cannot be easy for her.

It's the first time in her life that she has ever been held accountable for her evil deeds! I, for one, am enjoying watching her squirm! What is she going to do after Mommy Jennifer is no longer there to stroke her hair and giggle with her? Too bad there won't be any cameras on death row!

 

[Ransom]

I thought there was a post upthread that said court wasn't even open on the weekend.

Will go back and look.

I posted it. HLN, CNN, AZ central, WAT, etc. have all said the courthouse doesn't stay open on the weekends because of lack of $ for security.

I guess we'll see what the judge says.

 

[Angelina Frost]

I think that JM will go for the rest of today. The DT will go tomorrow and you know how looonnnggg they'll be. So hopefully JM will have the last say on Monday and then the jury will deliberate.

This would be ideal, I agree with you. Let them hear both sides- the truth side first, then the uke: side. Eat cookies, drink beer and rest over the weekend. Back to truth on Monday.

Murder 1. :jail:

 

[darcedarce]

I think she genuinely cares for Jodi which is a HUGE mistake for her to make. I think that is why Nurmi is doing closing. JW has been coming across as desperate and too emotionally involved.

Yes, it's been very odd to see, to say the least.

 

[nursebeeme]

Can her mom testify for her in the sentencing phase? She'll beg for JA's life. It'll be like the interrogation videos.

it will be worse because I bet she changes her story. that is just my opinion however.:twocents:

I hope she does the RIGHT THING and tells the TRUTH to the jury. I am hoping for this.

 

[Bernina]

But does your son and his friends skate in crowded suburban shopping centers located off a highway?

:floorlaugh: Anywhere there's sidewalk! The only time he and his friends where ever arrested was when they accidentally skate boarded into an under ground "Lawyer's" parking garage that had been staked out by LE for a drug bust.

But you have a point, usually municipalities restrict skate boarders from shopping centers.:blushing:

Nervous twirling of a Kleenex some have suggested.

 

[SusieD]

I think she stole from him. The banking stuff is not adding up to me yet. So, I think she did something horrible to him that way, and he got mad...so she decided to come up with the pedophile and releasing the recording thing.

I think it will come out soon what exactly that was.

I think whatever it was, Travis had tangible proof. Jodi would think she could lie her way out of most accusations. He had something she couldn't lie her way out of.

 

[leebee52]

So much for the TV attorney's who kept criticizing JM for his voracious style.

 

[missmazzy]

Hopefully she won't start out by saying "I'm gonna puke".:floorlaugh:

 

[basilcat]

What is absolutly amazing is that Juan is doing all this from memory...

Juan is an elephant... he never forgets!

A gorgeous 6 foot 2" Elephant with the heart of a lion......

 

[SuperTmo]

I really can't work out how JA's mom. I feel for her *but* she's chosen the most public place possible to show people how she is feeling . Also, that's such a contrast to her court room demeanour been the same over the last few months.

Maybe she's not feeling defeated... maybe she's just shocked after seeing the connect the dots game Juan is playing.

My doggie watching the Attack Cat video


Hope I don't blow margins.. really trying not too!!

If I saw it correctly it was woven tightly around her finger.

 

[gauntlet]

Interesting thoughts Nurse. I was betting on her taking the blame for JA's problems.

 

[DAWN TREADER]

A pipe in my house exploded the other day and I have been dealing with thaaaaat.

I am glad to be back.:drumroll:

bring on this VERDICT already!

:seeya: Nurse

Glad you are back on board and I second that emotion to bring on this verdict - it's been a long time coming.

 

[leebee52]

Maybe she's not feeling defeated... maybe she's just shocked after seeing the connect the dots game Juan is playing.

Maybe she's secretly happy that JA will be put away.

 

[Hopeful One]

Puhleeze!! Don't flame me for blowing margins or showing something you've all ready seen.... I've been sleuthing' and I'm tense... And nobody is posting puppies anymore. and I have to go to work in a couple hours...and I'm down to my last nerve. Thank you...just sayin'

I don't get it??
