Jodi Arias TAKES THE STAND #25 *may contain graphic and adult content*

[Rosemary Pierce]

I think he is on smoke break.. I will go get him.

LOL, I just had to take a smoke break. Yes Jodi I am a vile human being because I smoke.....what I don't do is slaughter a man in cold blood :seeya:


:moo:

Did anyone else see her mother get up and leave the courtroom about 15 minutes ago? I'm pretty sure I saw that...wait, maybe it was the twin. IDK it was one of them :sigh:

It was her mom

 

[hindsight2020]

Jodi.....He just wasn't that into you!

She didn't get the memo.:floorlaugh:

Juan needs to object to this BS.

Is this a record so far for time on the stand by a defendant? I'm asking seriously.

I dunno if it's a record, but I don't think it is lost at all on the jury that she talks a LOT, but hasn't said a darn thing of relevance to support her "self defense" claims.

I suspect more than a few of them are very annoyed by all this drivel, and want to hear SOMETHING relevant.

I really think that Atty Wilmott should have done this questioning of Jodi. Nurmi is so incredibly painful to listen to. He should consider being a tax attorney, imo.

On the plus side, his tie is better-- no intestines on it today.

ooooo Thank God

The defense keeps asking: Did it hurt that Travis continued to keep their sexual relationship discreet? Why should it? They both knew that what they were doing was a big problem in the Mormon church.

I feel like I have been in the dentist's chair all afternoon.

TA was talking back and forth with a girl on myspace . . . some sexually suggestive info at first but later it was hostile. . .

happened way before they were official

also found out TA was having an affair with a married Mormon woman . . . .

made me question his morals . .. .. we weren't in love, in love, we weren't in love yet . . .

you left his home and went back to Palm Desert . . .yes

hundreds of miles . . . back to the phone calls . . he began to call me at that point. . . between his friends and me and him . . things began to develop a little more rapidly . . . .

already boyfriend and girlfriend . . . . subject of marriage . . . . not necessarily about us but about future marriages . . . instead of saying when I . . he started saying when 'WE' in his hypotheticals . . .

in Feb 2007 still involved in PPL .. . actively or membership purchase? . . . I was actively involved but I was not makin any money . . . .

relationship is flourishing over the phone . . . began to see each other once or twice a month - Icame out to his house in March . . . . . just before convention . .

you said every other week you wouldsee each other
he would come out once a month and I would go to see him

whn did you first have penile vaginal intercourse with TA? I think it would have been April or May . .
travel together yet?
that March when Icame out for convention is when theytraveled together . . . he wanted to show places significant in the church history - went to Kansas City - major airport to sites in Missouri then Navoo, Illinois . . . then drive to Oklahoma city where convention was in the Spring . . . . boyfriend and girlfriend . . . go to KCity . . . difference in behaviors re: affection in Kansas City vs. when home in Arizona .. . he is a little more distant . . . we hold hands sometimes but not often. . . he wouldn't hold my hand very often . .. . would not introduce me to anyone @ convention . . . .

Dan & Desiree Freeman or Mr. Dewey . . . .
in Kansas City he was more affectionate when we were out of towns . . . . we hit multiple places in a day and then spent a day in Navoo . . .

religious land marks . . . . several in the Missouri area . . . spent couple nights on the road. . . . just one hotel room to share - one queen size bed . . . . sexual behaviors - oral sex? I don't remember the nature of it . . . it was not anything different than what we had been doing . . . it only occured once during that portion of the trip.
We went to 3 or 4 places in Missouri then drove to Navoo Illinois . . stayed the night . . spent the whole day . . . then Oklahoma . . . . this was one of the 2 big conventions of the year . . . this one was the Spring.

He was acting like boyfriend on the trips but when got to Oklahom things changed .. . I just sort of became another person there . . . . he told me another time that Convention was crazy . . . we were just all hanging out and he wasn't affectionate . . . Iwas very tired . . . he put a pillow on his lap and let me put my head there . . . he was very flirtatious with another woman . . . it hurt my feelings. . . .

afterward . . . we ended up talking about it . . .
in the past it was difficult for you to bring it up to him.
I didn't bring it up this time . . . he brought it up . . .
we talked a fewminutes . .getting into again made me cry . . . it was very blatent what he did and he was very apologetic . . . .

what about the way he treated you @ this convention? the affectionate behavior in Missour and the convention behavior. . . . intimate in the hotel room to be just one of his buddies in convention . . .

Ummm - I didn't overanalyze it . . . ummm therewere other couples that were holding hands. . it was very mild in comparaison in the way he was flirting with another woman . . .there was a breakout . . . can't remember if that was before or after convention . . .

definately not share a hotel room @ convention. . . . it was not looked good upon to stay in the same hotel room . . . he would stay with a bunch of guys and I would stay with a bunch of people . . . .. I knew that it was a church standard and I knew that we were going against church standard . . . . notthat time - evntually it came up but I didn't . . .

where do yo go directly after convention over?
believe we flew back . . .
might have been other people on those flights - we booked those flights together and it was just us . ..

go back to Palm Desert?
believe that night we got back on Sunday - he used to go to dinner @ his friends house - I stayed Sunday night and left monday . . . . .

when he went to home of his friends - had you met these people before?
no
introduce you as his girlfriend?
no I was just kind of a friend
did that hurt
I don't recall anything particular about it
when you go back to the home introduced as his buddy, was there more sexual activity?
I don' remember @that point

Break for afternoon (TG!!!)

 

[Madeleine74]

The jury will die of boredom. That's why she thought "no one would convict her." Their strategy is to kill off every juror and alternate by boring them to death. And it apparently is working.

 

[minor4th]

Hmm. Wonder what's coming after the break? Usually when the defense lawyer has to remind the judge that it's time for a break, that means they are transitioning into something *important*

 

[luckyme]

Oh good lord. shes crossing her arms defiantley when jury is leaving.

 

[Linda7NJ]

I think that is exactly what he's doing. I was saying this to my husband last night, if you sit there for 3 days (or longer), would you feel like you 'knew' her and wouldn't be as willing to give the DP? I don't know.

Does that make Nurmi a good lawyer? or bad lawyer for boring us to death? I'm not sure.

I think the goal is to spare her the needle.

I get the feeling he'd be happy to strap her down in preparation.

Primary goal of Jodi Arias at this point: Force someone to marry me

Seems that's been her goal since she was around 15 and she met Bobby... Marriage has been a topic in all of the relationships to this point.


She acts like HE was the only one going against the church standard in terms of sex, yet Nurmi makes it seem like Travis was such a jerk for them having separate rooms. She was supposed to be a mormon too, and didn't want to be seen in a bad light.

Not being introduced as a girlfriend isn't a big deal, IMO. Nurmi keeps saying she was introduced as a buddy but I hardly doubt Travis called Jodi that. He probably simply said, "this is Jodi." Jodi didn't care, so why is Nurmi trying so hard to make it seem like this hurt her?

 

[Laceybug]

Ut ohhh.... The ominous "I don't recall" statements have started....

 

[looneymama]

For the past few days I couldn't figure out who Nurmi's voice reminded me of. I just figured it out. His voice reminds me of Randy from "My Name is Earl".

Also, I have this sick feeling in my stomach that they are trying to end it with the sex tape at him saying "You sounded like a 12 year old girl having her first orgasm, that was hot." (if he really did say that) to try and make him look like a pedo and let the jury sit with that all weekend. I really hope I'm wrong...but it feels like something they would do, and that makes me queasy.

 

[Sustained]

This trial and Mr Nurmi 's performance as a trial lawyer should be a part of every law schools education and part of a course "Becoming a Trial Lawyer". This is a prime example of what NOT to do and what not to be.

It is rare to see such an inept abysmal performance as a trial lawyer as you are now seeing Mr Nurni do.

I doubt Mr Nurmi went to any "accreditied law school and it is hard to believe this man actually passed a bar exam.

Neither did Baez and look what that got us ... smile at the jury, say good morning, and bore them to tears - jury will vote not guilty just to get the hell out of Dodge. I hope we don't have another Pinellas 12 here ...

 

[jevipo74]

How clueless can you be? He barely acknowledges you in public and you're still with him? Especially since he makes you "uncomfortable"? You're a genius...buddy.

 

[A_News_Junkie]

Bad move there jodi - she went from her prayer girl hand pose to crossed arms when the jury was dismissed. Wonder if she can tell they are not buying it?

 

[3trees]

What ever happened to Searcy's contempt hearing. did that happen yet?

 

[Curious Me]

He didn't actually say he loved me, but he sent me a worded candy. So, maybe he did love me.
