Jodi Arias TAKES THE STAND #26 *may contain graphic and adult content*

[Karmady]

From the video: Is this a photo of Jodi???? If so, I think she has had some definite facial plastic surgery done since this photo especially on her nose, etc.

No. That is not Jodi and I don't think anyone is suggesting that it is.

Me too...let's grab our fifth and some vermouth and a martini shaker and call it a party.
:great:

On my way!! *insert chilled martini glasses here*

Is there any proof Travis attacked JA ?

No! But there was no proof that Mrs. Gore attacked her killer with an ax to start that whole scenario, either. There was proof that the two fought over the ax, but that could have been defensive on Mrs. Gore's part instead of her killer's. You couldn't tell who started it (imho), so that did leave reasonable doubt on that point (which is scary).

That's where jurors start going 'well, but there was overkill, and she covered it up afterwards!' but the killer's defense attorneys were able to convince the jury that her psychology made her freak out when attacked and in the aftermath she was too ashamed and traumatized to go to the police.

Fortunately, I think JA did show enough premeditation, combined with and a history of stalking with other boyfriends and Travis, that the jury will have to see that it was no attack on JA.

The lying in interviews happened in Mrs. Gore's case, too, though! It was still considered self defense within a reasonable doubt. The jury did not throw out the killer's story of the fight even though she was definitely lying to cops and everyone else about being the one who did it in the early days of the investigation.

I am guilty of having called copy "a Xerox". I am so old I remember our entire class sniffing mimeograph fumes from a paper our teacher just finished "running off". We were all trying to get high and didn't realized it!

Oh that mimeograph stuff smelled sooooo good!

:bedtime: Enjoy reading and catching up! ta ta.

But then there is the eye for an eye in the New Testament. So, Jodi stabbed Travis 28/29 times, sliced his throat from ear to ear and shot him in the head and based on the New Testament the same should be done to her, yes? So that means death for Jodi, imo.

MOO

Eye for an eye in New Testament?

I think all that was replaced with loving your neighbor, etc.

and what is the presedent of costa rica???anyone?,,ARIAS

Lol, exactly!

Super common Mexican and Central American surname. Not sure about S.A.? Probably common all over Latin America.

Which movie is this from ? I fell for him and proclaimed "Dog Day Afternoon" my favorite movie for years after I saw it in the theater!

And Justice For All. One of my all time favorites.

No. That is not Jodi and I don't think anyone is suggesting that it is.

I have never ever said that anyone "suggested that it was" her. I was simply asking if it was her and gitana1 answered my question. I deleted my question. Sorry. :blushing: (I feel so misunderstood for a simple question)

 

[Sleuth13]

I know the Doug Grant case. I think he is guilty too. From what I know about it (not a lot of details) things don't add up for it to be suicide. MOO

Thanks for the link, off to read it now.

Here's the 48 hours episode as well. I watched it last weekend. Let me know what you think if you watch it!

NURMI: So I would like to ask you another question so that you can- so to speak - answer what it is that you meant at that point where you – sort of – came into contact with that particular individual who at this point in time was entering your lifestyle which I guess we could possibly characterize as – so to speak –carefree and that you at the same time were – for want of a better phrase- desirous to reciprocate something that I suppose one could with a certain amount of effort consider enthusiasm?

ARIAS: Yes. I noticed this particular individual that most people might consider to be someone of the male persuasion who tended to walk in a direction that turned out to be in the proximity of myself. At that point of time I thought to myself that I could actually see myself sauntering into an area that would in my opinion juxtapose myself with this particular individual. This person came to be known by myself as “Bobby”. I remember that at this point in time I managed to come to speech and said “Hi”. And then this person whose name I recall was “Bobby” looked up with intense brown eyes and with a tiny smirk mouthed the perfectly distinct words that resonated with my spirituality such that it was during the period of time and these words were to be best of my recollection were, I think “well hello yourself”. After Bobby uttered this phrase to me I could not help but notice that he might have been experiencing a strong physiological reaction.

NURMI: OK. Let’s back up a little bit. And so what we would like to get to understand based on your answer is the meaning of this term that you used in describing an interaction between yourself and this individual that seems to have accosted you with the words you have described as “well hello” or something to that effect and this phrase “strong physiological reaction”

Arias: Hmmm The effect was in my mind something that resembled an erection of the male genitalia. But since the angle of visualization of that region where male genitalia are frequently situated was not perfectly optimal so as to allow my eye to pinpoint so to speak the precise nature of this increase bulk located in the crotch region of Bobby's deep blue neatly pressed denim pants that had the label “WRANGLER” on its back.

luv, just do a google image search and you'll see Jodi. She's had blond hair, but now she is a brunette (her natural color). I don't know if she's had any facial plastic surgery, but she definitely got her done.

Holy Cow! Jodi Arias dated the President of Costa Rica?! She's like the Mata Hari of Yreka!:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

OMG! I totally AM a heaux! :thud:

*drags skanky arse to Dr. Drew*

*receives a cosign on my bu********

*goes forth and sins only now with Mr. Knot, who is Super Hot*

*wonders who all the good girls are who brought that average down*.

Mrs. Knot, If you were in Austin right now I'd have you meet me at the Salt Lick tomorrow for story time!!!! This post is awesome!

 

[Karmady]

I have to say I really don't get the "justice needs to be served in this case" mentality. There are hundreds of cold blooded murders committed all over the country every day for no reason at all - drugs, shoes, gang ties, etc. NONE of them get the attention this case and similar get. She's no better or worse than any of those murderers in any real way but that her case is "smexy" and she's not necessarily a person we would expect to do this type of crime. She's an aberration and the real problem with murder in America lies extremely elsewhere, imo.

I'm going to pull a Gus and plead the 5th!

I'm pleading State's Evidence and entering the witless protection program with Gus on that question, as well!:floorlaugh:

I think the CDC's numbers are WRONG! Who did they survey?! Nobody I know!
LOL!

You aren't a heaux!

Like someone said earlier.....being a heaux correlates to how much you are hated by other women! :seeya:

 

[FrayedKnot]

Oh that mimeograph stuff smelled sooooo good!

Mmmmmm, damp, purple smell. In that peculiar ditto font. Fare thee well, my awkwardly spinning, copy-producing behemoth of an office machine. May your formaldehyde fumes forever linger in those now-defunct portions of my brain.

*sniiiiiiiiifffffffff*

Thought I'd come read up on the trial and I see posts about how many sex partners people had etc etc... Wow. :what:

Guess I'll be back later....
