I hope the jury keeps in mind it's meant to discredit Travis. jmo

I don't get it either. I think she and Nurmi will preemptively explain the recording as her taking potential steps to report him as a pedo (ugh, hate typing that). Which of course is bull. IMO she has to give some reason why she taped it. Can't say she taped it for personal pleasure. It will have to play into her fear of him being an abusive monster.
I don't know, I just know there will be some disgusting excuse for why she recorded it.

Thank you ALL so very much for the updates! I cannot watch or hear today so I really appreciate you all. My stomach is in knots thinking about Travis' family. My heart goes out to them. I am having such a difficult time w this trial. I'm praying justice will prevail.

 

[HarvestMoon]

Personally, I think a person should be able to make a face ( give a natural response) after all is the defense worried that much about the validity of their client's testimony?

56 minutes until lunch

from last thread (paraphrased): Travis' family was warned not to show reaction to testimony (one tweet said it may be the murder details.. there is also hints that the sex tapes are played today)

[TigerBalm]

We got a new thread, court still has the seal.
Judge in chambers with the parties

 

[dog.gone.cute]

:furious: I just read at the end of the previous thread that TA's family was told not to show any emotion in court :furious:

This family has shown tremendous restraint in that courtroom -- considering all the FILTH and LIES they have had to listen to from Jodi ...

And NOW they have to listen to even more FILTH and LIES from Jodi, as well as the murder of Travis ...

lease: for the Family and Friends ...

Excerpts from 'A Natural State of Psychopathy' by Laura Knight-Jadzyk

Psychopaths lie for the sake of lying. They can convey the deepest heart-felt message without meaning a word of it. They can also tell the most outrageous stories simply in order to be at the center of attention and to get what they want.

The psychopath seems to be full of something akin to deep greed. They manifest this inner state in many ways. One of the most common ways is to steal something of value to their victim (valuables), or to hurt/slander the victim or something or someone the victim loves. In the psychopath's mind, this is justified because the victim crossed him, did not give him what he wanted, or rejected him (or her).

Psychopaths are incapable of feeling concern or remorse for the consequences of their actions. They can calmly rationalize their insensitive and bizarre behavior all the while attributing malice to everyone but themselves. When caught in a lie, they will manipulate others or stories to their own advantage without any fear of being found out - even if it is obvious to everyone around them that they WILL be found out.

Psychopaths are masters at faking emotions in order to manipulate others. One psychologist reported that if you actually catch them in the act of committing a crime, or telling a lie, "they will immediately justify their actions by self pity and blaming another, by creating a heart-rending scene of faked emotional feelings." These fake emotions are only for effect, as the careful observer will note. The Psychopath considers getting their way or getting out of trouble using faked emotions as a victory over another person.

Psychopaths are experts at using people. They can ask anything of anyone without embarrassment and because of their outgoing seducing friendliness, their use of "poor innocent me! I am such a GOOD person and I have been treated so BADLY!" the victim invariably gets sucked into giving the psychopath what they ask for - no matter how outrageous.

Psychopaths cannot feel fear for themselves, much less empathy for others. Most normal people, when they are about to do something dangerous, illegal, or immoral, feel a rush of worry, nervousness, or fear. Guilt may overwhelm them and prevent them from even committing the deed. The psychopath feels little or nothing.

Points to ponder while we continue listening to Jodi's version of events.

as I mentioned in prior thread that yesterday her dad and mom both gave Travis family a look to kill---wasn't a friendly look--I think they should aslo be cautioned not to laugh and giggle all the time--:banghead:

Everyone is patiently awaiting the return of the Judge, the defense and #JodiArias. Light whispering can be hear along with a few yawns.

 

[Anita Richman]

Is one of the reasons the sex tapes are allowed is because it corroborates the sexual relationship? Just from reading here I know there is a lot of disbelief (due to all of her lies) about every part of her story. Is it ok'd to confirm things she's said?

 

[Really?]

The Guy Joe Jackson ? on HLN just made a good point. The tape may actually show JA to be aggressive. It could be a Looooooooooong recording ---------> which in turn may help Mr. Juanderful get justice for Travis.
