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

[Karmady]

Glad to hear Travis' friend say the anal sex on baptism day just flat out didn't happen. I don't believe it did either. Nor do I believe that they had oral sex the first time they met up at the Hughes' house.

Maybe those things happened later on, but no way do I believe that those things happened in the time frame she described.

How in the world would that person know what happened and what didn't?

Jodi has proven that she is a pro at embellishing.

This chick can even bedazzle her own lies with more lies.

 

[borndem]

Predators study their prey. Jodi assessed her prey and then faked the emotion that her victim wanted. If Travis responded positively to women with happy-go-lucky personalities, Jodi then acted like she was happy-go-lucky.

Remember that Darryl said Jodi's personality started to change in their last few months. Jodi stopped giving Darryl the personality that he wanted. Jodi no longer needed Darryl, who was running out of money, so she stopped acting.

Thanks, Pensfan -- And the more they do it, the better they get. (Ted Bundy had a pretty good run.) And there's also the sex in Jodi's case.

It's not due out until Oct, 2013 according to Amazon

Picture Perfect: The True Story of a Beautiful Photographer, Her Mormon Lover, and a Deadly Obsession
Picture Perfect: The True Story of a Beautiful Photographer, Her Mormon Lover, and a Deadly Obsession: Shanna Hogan: 9781250003539: Amazon.com: Books[Mass+Market+Paperback]

that time line maybe a little optimistic imo - ja might still be on the stand and this rate not including the plethora of rebuttal witnesses from martinez and the extra witnesses he could call because of all the doors that were inadvertently by jodi because of her constant rambling

 

[Pensfan]

Guy on Dr Drew named Paul Stern -- saying Jodi was frantic just before she went to visit Travis and asked him to borrow money. He loaned her money.

Sorry if this has already been covered

Jodi didn't need much money except for her fast food, Starbucks, and gasoline for this trip. How much money did Jodi get from this poor guy? tia

So, if I'm a juror and have been paying attention, here's what would stand out to me and what I would want to know:

1. Jodi has engaged in weird stalking behavior in nearly every relationship she's had.

Bobby -- after Bobby left the library computer, Jodi took Bobby to his friend's house, and then returned to the library, where she accidentally hit the back button on the library computer and happened to bring up Bobby's hotmail account -- at which time she proceeded to actually read the emails in his account. She then printed off the emails and took them to Bobby and confronted him about them.

Matt -- While hanging out with Matt's Dad's girlfriend, she just happened to see pics of Matt with another girl, B. THEN, 2 people she didn't even know approached her and took a vote to tell her Matt was cheating on her. She called in sick to work, drove to another state to confront Matt and this Bianca girl -- Matt wasn't there, but "Steve" found it necessary to go warn Bianca. She confronted her at her home and talked to her for an hour and a half.

Travis -- she kept hitting back button on his computer until she ended up in his email account. She then proceeded to read every email between him and a female. Saw that he was flirting with girls about making out and was having "affair" with married LDS woman.

She snooped through his text messages when he was napping.

She logged on to his Facebook and Gmail accounts way after they were broken up and after she had moved back to California. She explained that Travis had given her the passwords to "re-establish trust" months after they had broken up. This is not believable.

She listened to Travis' voicemails 4 hours after she murdered him.

2. She moved in with every boy she dated.

3. Every time she got pissed, she packed up and moved, usually to another city. She was pissed at her parents for grounding her, so she quit school and moved in with a vampire and his elderly hoarder parents/grandparents. She was pissed at Bobby so she moved out and went back to visit Victor. She was pissed at Matt so she moved again to another city to get away from him.

4. Every time she broke up with a boy, she got back together with him and continued to have sex with him -- sometimes moved back in with him, and continued hanging out with his friends and family.

5. Every time she got a new boyfriend, she got a new religion

6. All of the "cheating", which led to the snooping and confrontations seems to have taken place after Jodi and her boyfriend-du-jour had already broken up. She just didn't seem to accept the breakup and continued to expect the ex boyfriends to be "faithful" even after the relationship ended.


So you put all this in context, and if I were on that jury, I would think the last visit to Travis was not something Travis knew about or invited. Based on her pattern with other boyfriends, as a jury member, I would believe that she went to confront Travis because she was pissed. I would think about how she behaved with other boyfriends and consider that she took a gun and knife with her this time -- and it would be pretty clear that she was so pissed that she drove several hundred miles to confront Travis and kill him.

The thank you button isn't enough. Great post!

Wow, that's awesome! Well it will surely be The Jodi Show all next week (she may still be on direct...they were predicting two more full days of direct). I think it's only Mon-Wed next week too...am I right on this?

I think PASA knows the process better than me...PASA (who I had the good fortune of meeting today :seeya: ) are you still in the house?

I know! Thanks Katiecoo! I was planning for Tuesday/Wednesday. My kiddo's have Monday off so I plan to be here with them to have some fun and head out Tuesday early morning, after I get everyone off to school! I am planning on driving back home early Thursday. So, I guess Wednesday will be the day. I'll cross my fingers and hope the universe is on my side for getting in!

Pasa- any advice? TIA

There is a hearing tomorrow - so, no jodi on the stand. I think if that hearing runs past 3pm EST when InSession goes off the air - then HLN will take over coverage. If the hearing is over, they will re-hash and replay the weeks events till JVM at 7pmEST.

I read somewhere that this hearing will not be aired to the public.Anyone know for sure?

 

[sourgrapes]

There was zero and nakedness on Travis's devices.

EXACTLY!

Which is the point I was making in the reason I believe the photos are not of Travis's member! The tech guy's testimony will prove it.

 

[Dum-Dum Sucker]

Those were the days. Trial coverage all day. And excellent reporters and commentary.

:heartluv: I still have all my videotapes of the Court TV coverage of the Scott Peterson case. Still watch em too. My hubby calls me crazy.

Just received a text saying "Bill thinks next week will be packed". Bill's Dr. Drew's fun producer.

I'm texting w/ the other katie right now.

(another reason to hate being out of town next week...any chance you can come over another week as well? Closing arguments?)

 

[borndem]

Thanks TigerBalm! Yep that was my seat. Wonder what we were looking at there...maybe JA coming or going.

coolady -- After reading what you said about Tanisha/Tenisha (sp?) yesterday, I watched her, and she does not take her eyes off Jodi. I feel sure that Jodi has seen it, seen it, seen it, but she just chatters on. Jodi is a cold, cold human being.

Oh, his poor, poor family. So brave and so haunted, IMO. But you, katiecool, you know.

He spun her around..... It's her theme song apparently

How long did they actually know each other before they first met at the Hughes'? She has babbled on so much, it's really hard to remember it all.

watching this Doc on Dr. Drew showing, or explaining how easy it was for JA to kill Travis. At the beginning of this case, when I was talking to my husband about it, I said how does someone that size slit his throat like that? that deep? And I know she did it, but at the beginning I really did have that little bit of a thought 'how could she do that'. Anyway... my husband is a hunter (animals ... just to clarify lol), and he told me, you would be surprised how easy it is.
That is pretty much what this doc just said, that at that point,because of the loss of blood, etc., it would have been fairly easy for JA.

Wow that's devotion. Cuz there were no cameras in that courtroom! Just outside reporting!

Yes, I do. Ohyeah she just stares at her and I would not want that stare on me. But this defendant has no humanness to her. So who the he** knows where that all goes.

 

[Dum-Dum Sucker]

Fred Graham! Who was that middle aged dark haired defense attorney (who always pissed me off but I did like her too)?

God were we spoiled or what?

Rikki Klieman??

1. I hope that it was backed up.
2. I hope that they catch the culprit.
3. In other cases, I might dismiss this a coincidence. In this one, I have second, third, and fourth thoughts: Jodie and her friends indulged in forgery. What's a little housebreaking to safe a friend's life?

Wonder if the laptop had a GPS locator on it?

I must say I thought Tanisha looked stunning today!
