the dragging picture!!!!!!!

 

[LotusPawprint]

The camera was right side up... so it "fell" to the ground right side up?

 

[nursebeeme]

camera was upside down for foot shot

 

[nursebeeme]

camera was still off the ground for the ceiling shot

bingo

 

[BritsKate]

Exhibit 162 is the photo of Travis bleeding on the floor. It was upside down. 17:32:16.

Wonder if her sick twisted mind was trying to keep a hold of the camera to take photos of the entire slaying

 

[creepingskills]

She is so sick.
She is very proud of herself in those videos.
Yuck

YES! I'm almost finished watching today's proceedings and I couldn't believe how obviously satisfied she was with herself for denying the gun on video! That was probably the last moment she felt "in control" of the investigation, IMO. I can only imagine how smug she was after all those phone calls to police as a concerned friend. Ugh.

I hope we see more of her interrogation. For the first time, the cracks began to show. IMO She didn't think LE would link the robbery with Travis' murder. After the first few questions, she seemed to be upset because she was so caught off guard. Or maybe she was caught off guard that she couldn't talk herself OUT of it.

photos that I captured in order beginning at 5:22 PM on 6/4/2008.

How long were these pics taken after sex photos?

 

[UESwifey]

I never saw the whole dragging picture before, I've only seen it cropped - there's a zipper all the way to the left that looks like when you are wearing a light jacket and you can zipper the outer pockets. If this were a "pant leg" as reported on IS then there would be a random zipper in the middle of the pant. I am so convinced she was not actually dragging at that point, but kneeling over him slashing his throat - his arm up in defense. Heartbreaking. MOO.

 

[nursebeeme]

there was more than one picture of the shoe/floor it seems?

 

[BritsKate]

There's a later shot (17:33:32) that looks to me to be the shower door. There's a mass the prosecutor pointed out with red lines by the door - it's very blurry. The camera was on the ground.

 

[norest4thewicked]

My stupid live feed stopped before I saw the last photo shown. Did anyone get a screen shot of what it was?

 

[nursebeeme]

still hiding her face... even for the computer stuff

 

[TorisMom003]

There's a later shot (17:33:32) that looks to me to be the shower door. There's a mass the prosecutor pointed out with red lines by the door - it's very blurry. The camera was on the ground.

Witness said that it was a pic of the floor baseboard. To me it looked like the shower door track though.

January 14, 2012 afternoon testimony

(Missed the first few minutes, had to refresh the page)
--Multiple ways of deleting images. Only some of the photos were deleted. This would have been done by choice. There are multiple steps (five) in deleting images.
--The not deleted photos, the witness does not know what they were offhand.
--The forensic software is used to see all the images that were not deleted. There were photos of Travis in the shower and photos of a man and a woman engaged in sexual activity.

--photos were most likely taken using one's right hand, otherwise the camera operator would have to reach around.

The lighting for #140 is darker than #142, the setting may have been changed by the camera operator.

--Camera does have a zoom so it is unknown how close the photos were taken.

Other photos recovered from unallocated portion of the memory stick of the camera.
#161, #162, #163
#161--5:31:14, 45 seconds later. Photo of a ceiling and the upper wall portion of the bathroom. Can see what looks like the shower door . No floor trim seen in the photo. Was the camera right side up when this was taken? Yes.
Can it be determined if the photo was taken right side up? Yes.
Melendez' opinion is that the camera is 2-3 feet, waist high, off the ground when the last two photos were taken.
#162--5:32:16, 62 seconds later. Was the camera right side up or upside down? Camera was upside down when the photo was taken. Floor can be seen in the photo. (This is the much debated photo of Travis being dragged?)
Det. Melendez has worked on hundreds of thousands of photographs in his career. He is therefore able to form an opinion on where the camera was to take these photos. This photo was taken on the ground.
#163--5:33:13. Photo of the floor, can see a mass with reddish lines in the top left corner. Can see the floor. This photo was taken upside down. Camera would have been on the ground.

More photos (5:22 PM - 5:29 PM on 6/4/2008)

 

[BritsKate]

Witness said that it was a pic of the floor baseboard. To me it looked like the shower door track though.

Missed that, thanks, that's what it had looked like to me too.

 

[TorisMom003]

Did the witness say that the last use of the computer was on June 4th? And the murder was on June 8th? Did I get that right or mishear?

 

[K_Z]

I apologize for jumping in and asking a random question, but I just began following this case about 2 weeks ago. I've read about half this thread getting up to speed, and reading elsewhere as well.

Does Jodi Arias have any family members or friends supporting her or in court? Are her parents living? Are the grandparents in court?

TIA.
