Jodi Arias TAKES THE STAND #32 *may contain graphic and adult content*

[SAgal]

I cannot believe the Defense Team fought to have this "sex tape" included in this trial. In my opinion - this tape does nothing to prove that Jodie Arias was the victim of any type of Domestic Violence. Jodie initiates most of the "sexual talk" and it's obvious: She's enjoying the "sex talk" as much, IF NOT MORE, than Travis. Actually - it appears poor Travis is trying to get off the phone to get some sleep, and Jodie WILL NOT STFU!!

 

[GobBluth]

The #1 thing that the DT had going for them, was that TA isn't alive to defend himself, or to show his character and personality. Up until now, he was just John Q. Anyman.

Now, the photos of him have a soul behind the eyes, one with kindness, humor, desires, humanity. He was engaged in what JA said, was complimentary of her, and he was charismatic. Heck, the guy broke out in song. I think the DT might have made their biggest mistake today. IMO.

 

[minor4th]

she called him and recoreded him, right (re: he wasn't calling her and he didn't know he was being recorded)

what was the date of the call? did they mention that?

As a reminder, here is what was said in defense opening statement about this phone call:

You’ll actually hear a recorded phone call, recorded call between Travis and Jodi that’s very explicit. And this phone call is made just a couple of weeks before Travis dies. It’s clear in this phone call that the both of them are talking about how they’re going to marry, find somebody and marry somebody else. Jodi very clearly knows that Travis is not going to marry her, and she’s not going to marry Travis. And they discuss it. Travis talks about how he’s going to Cancun with somebody else. Jodi knew that, and she expresses absolutely no dismay about it whatsoever. And this is just weeks before he dies. Most importantly, when you hear this call, it’s crucial to understand the difference, the difference between the type of person Travis portrayed himself to be versus the things that he said on this recorded call. Because while he was supposed to be this virginal Mormon man, who didn’t want to have any type of relationship with Jodi and she just wouldn’t leave him alone, in this phone call he talks about his fantasies – his fantasies with Jodi of tying her to a tree and putting it – forgive me – in her all the way. That’s Travis. And then, when Jodi pretends to climax during this phone call, Travis tells her that she sounds like a twelve year old girl who was having an orgasm for the first time. And then he tells her it’s so hot.

 

[Bada Bing]

most likely for the same whacked reason she said the thing about Carl (her brother) and also the fake ninja threats (and notes) to her family.

She is one strange bird...

She tried to beat Carl to death with a baseball bat. Seems like she doesn't like Carl and is projecting the "" thing.

 

[HarvestMoon]

Where does Nurmi go from here?

 

[vikinggrl]

She really n e v e r s h u t s u p , he had to be an incredibly patient man.

 

[Turnadot]

Bless Travis' family; he is so loved. Their strength is amazing.

 

[KMouse]

What did we learn from that?

They definitely had vaginal sex with her slip sliding on top
He did it between her breasts
She introduced him to KY
He had never masturbated before he met her and how old was he? Wow.

<slow clap>

"Of the mess you left when you went away! It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know"

Creepy!

Creeps me out!

So creepy....UGH!

( also creepy when she talks about the end of Spiderman)

She has offended her mother, father. brother, grandfather's name, sister, homosexuals, mormons, the prudish, and ninjas, as well as all people who are victims of domestic abuse.

I think it's time for a little shout of to the real star witness recording the real crime here- the little camera that could. Thank god for that camera.
Thank god for that camera.

 

[PASA]

To those saying he sounds "wasted". He's tired and is probably laying down in bed while talking. I've heard plenty of friends sound like that, especially if calling them in the middle of the night when they're sleeping.

From my understanding, Travis didn't even drink coffee let alone drugs and alcohol. He actually said earlier in this recording that he stayed away from a certain group of people because all they did was drink and he's not into that.

Respectfully jumping off your post--

I agree. I think it was she who called and woke him up in the middle of the night.

 

[Davia18]

MaMa Bee think we need new thread, this thing has went crazy.

 

[Ms.Heather]

She coincidentally likes nearly EVERYTHING he does, AFTER he does.

she called him and recoreded him, right (re: he wasn't calling her and he didn't know he was being recorded)

what was the date of the call? did they mention that?

No Date, but I'm assuming sometime April/May of 2008 because he is talking about his upcoming trip to Cancun in the beginning... and he was killed before his trip happened.

RECESS

Thank you KMouse for having the patience to listen and transcribe all of this for us. I truly fell asleep, woke up when my elbow slipped off the desk, so I think I missed at least 1/3rd of it. Talk about some dirty talking girl, goodness me! No wonder she didn't want anybody to hear this! :what:

 

[JSR]

How is Nurmi going to pull her out of this one?

He's not. She's done. Completely toast.

I don't think they planned to have the whole tape played in Court. Just snippets.

Any ground they might have gained is now completely lost.

 

[Davia18]

I feel very good about today, each day I am so annoyed by the end of the day listening to JA worrying about the jury buying any of this but today I truly feel Travis will have justice.

 

[AspenSong]

After listening to all that, to me that had to be for blackmail. Maybe she was trying to blackmail him into marrying her...something about that whole thing seemed totally put on in that matter. Maybe at this point she wasn't planning on killing him yet...she just was grasping at straws to keep him and maybe days later, whatever, he made it clear again that she wasn't going to end up being Mrs. Alexander, Ever and she snapped.
I don't know. Seems to me she was trying too hard the whole time... she was obsessed with him. Obvious observations.

What's sadder to me is Travis just sounds like a guy. He reminds me so much of a guy I would have had a horrible crush on, funny, silly.....he even reminds me a LOT of an old boyfriend that I don't think I ever really got over, despite "growing up" and getting married. Just sad. Sad sad sad.
I think girly just popped her goose in the oven and cooked it, thoroughly.
That just endeared Travis to everyone listening IMO.

 

[HarvestMoon]

She was so over eager to please him, "goodnite honey." He sounded bored and not interested in her.

 

[somethinghere]

I would just like to say that the most despicable parts of this trial have been made easier to digest by all of you. You all are some of the wittiest, funniest, SMARTEST, well-grounded people I've never had the chance to meet.

Thank you for making me smile and laugh when I was ready to puke or cry (or both); for pointing out details a detective might've passed by; and for being a very charming bunch of people. I can't always keep up with the threads and comment at the same time, but I do read them as much as I can and wanted to express that I enjoy all of you so very much.

:blowkiss:

 

[Melanie]

Hi Sleuthers,

I've been in bed not feeling well, and IS isn't even close to playing the tape. Where have you all heard it. Is it available anywhere. Sorry to bother.

Hugs,

Mel

I never followed this case and I've been trying to catch up in the past week. Unfortunately the only days I was able to view the proceedings were yesterday and today. Poor Travis and his family.

Someone posted Travis' blog within the last two days and I read his last entry on May 18th 2008, 17 days before his murder. That post brought this whole thing home for me as to what her motivation was. He basically said in his blog that he was tired of dating the "type of women" he had been and was ready to start dating a woman who was marriage material. For someone like Jodi, whom it appears to me was doing everything in her power to snag him, that had to be devastating and had to make her extremely angry and sent her over the edge. He basically dismissed her as a two bit tramp and was now going to seriously start looking for a respectable woman to spend his life with. I think she made up her mind to do this after reading that blog.

I assume that this was all presented by the prosecution?

http://travisalexander.blogspot.ca/

MOO

I totally agree it was the blog that started her death march to his front door.

What surprises me is that Travis would have let her see the blog. Was there a password or something to read his blog that he didnt think she had or something. Or maybe he never told her about the blog and she found out about it.
