Jodi Arias TAKES THE STAND #28 *may contain graphic and adult content*

[Really?]

It's very regional I think...I'm also in the US and the only person I know who has one is a cop.

I think it may be regional as well.

However, in Cali , a house I was staying at With guns...actually got home invaded......for the guns...wtf?

We don't own any. DH had enough of them in Vietnam. However, we scored on having local and state police as neighbors :seeya:

They may, but wouldn't that make it look like they are minimizing the crime? That might not sit too well with the jurors. I think for some reason that Jodi may say she doesn't remember what happened-like she was "not there" if you know what I mean. I hope I am wrong.

There it is, S'mom... I've thought about that all along.... Something like: "It was like I was in a dream -- floating above myself, seeing myself down below me. I don't really remember because I think Travis tried to strangle me and everything went black. When I came to, he was dead, I think. I just ran out of there as fast as I could go. Poor me. Yeah, my neck was sore & I couldn't talk. He nearly killed me. Poor me." Then a big nose-blowing by the defendant. Boo- [but no tears] -hoo.

Gus Searcy.

What a clown.

Or he could be a the Court Jester!

:jester:

Na, even though Gus thinks he's lord of the rings he's really the troll under the bridge. I still say he reminds me of Jerry Sandusky.

JM: miss arias, why did you collect the gas cans on the trip ?

 

[Zuri]

:yes: I actually am surprised when I hear someone doesn't own guns, I guess because I know very few people who don't. I'm in the U.S. of course.

Here on the east coast, gun ownership is lower, especially in the suburbs. The only people I know that have guns are LE and military.

Just checking in to see what's going on. Saw this today and it really disturbs me that Jodi is going to sink this low to save her own butt. There are reports out right now that she is going to say that she caught Travis masturbating to photos of young boys.

Something like this would more likely be used during a sentencing phase, but it's not clear how the state wants to use it. I don't know if the state's own expert evaluated Jodi, but if so this type of evaluation might be used to show that she has a lot of risk factors that predict future commission of intimate partner abuse.

This same type of tool is often used by juvenile courts and in determining probation guidelines. Correctional facilities also use these types of tools to evaluate new inmates to determine placement.

This might be a dumb question, but I've never watched a trial before. I keep seeing people mention getting to the "mitigation phase" and don't understand what that is exactly. Is that the same as the sentencing phase? Where if they find her guilty, then she can plead for her life, etc?

On the Southeast coast and in the Southeast in general, it is an entirely different situation. I don't know many homes without a gun.

We don't have one gun in our home, never have and never will. I wasn't raised in a home with guns, never even held one in my hand! Which, when I think of it, was probably a good thing for my ex~husband! :blushing:

 

[KBisMe]

Oh and I think I saw someone say that the lady that's been sitting next to Wilmott is another lawyer who will come into play during mitigation. Did I read that right? Why would a different lawyer be brought in for that phase?

Honestly, I highly doubt it. IMO I get the distinct feeling they can't stand her either.

How far would her prison bling let her go? Maybe they bring her back a burger.... They are saving the Crow-Pie for after the verdict.

 

[JusticeJunkie]

Yes, but it is the defense that is trying to exclude it. My guess would be that the defense SARA evaluation would not have been favorable for Jodi's self defense claim, so the defense is not going to introduce it -- and the state wants to introduce the defense's SARA evaluation to undermine the expert's opinions.

Just a guess, but there are other possibilities I suppose.

This is bring back unpleasant memories of the psych eval for casey. JPerry sealed those.

So true, but Jodi was saying it in the context of trying to FLEE from the 'ninjas'. The only phone call she made after that was to her boyfriend to say she was on her way. They discussed whether to get a movie; which movie. There was no angst in her voice or actions once they finally met.

JA's affect while testifying is the same. No emotion. No angst. No remorse.

Yes. Movies. Blah blah blah, says jodi.

I wanna know how she got the MASSIVE amount of blood off of her and her property between TA and new boyfriend! I have seen some people say she showered over him.

I initially thought this to be plausible but for all you gals out there, we shed hair during a shower. I know I have a pretty good handful of it after ever shower cause mine is processed, and a lot less processed than Jodi's. I don't see how she would have done that. So, how did she clean up so sparkly. Also I think she dyed her hair because blood on bleach blonde hair would change the color, just like dye.

It's called the penalty phase -- and mitigating or aggravating circumstances can be considered. So if she's convicted of first degree murder, the penalty phase will focus on whether she should be sentenced to life or receive the death penalty.

 

[Kensie]

Again, the million dollar question, if Travis was so horrible and mean, why did she keep hanging around him??? JA is the lowest form of life.

I have spent the past 14 hours reading posts. How am I ever going to stay away while at work?????

 

[borndem]

I am almost afraid to watch when Nurmi finally gets to the murder of Travis. I think he might gloss over it quickly while at the same time setting up reasons for why Jodi acted as she did following the murder. Is she going to claim she was in shock, doesn't remember her actions and a whole other train load of BS.
Go get her Juan.

I pray she gets convicted of 1st degree and the DP. Then some one asks her
"How do you feel about that Jodi?"

She'll say: "They'll never execute me because I'm innocent."

Ah gotcha! Is that part done with just the judge? The jury only gives the verdict and the judge determines the sentence?

Let's get back to the subject matter and not veer off into the topic of guns and gun control...This post lands randomly.. :gthanks:
