Hi everyone, I introduced myself a while back and I've finally caught up!

The tape makes no sense to me either....if the Judge said all or nothing, then surely the defense would have been better off with nothing and leaving the contents to the jurors' imaginations? Is there some reason they wouldn't have been permitted to withdraw the entry of the tape?

I think that decision was reached yesterday (all or nothing with the tape)

They were doomed either way

1) don't play it and all you have are words from a liar

2) play it all and you have words from a liar and a few things makes sense (but not much at all)

:twocents:

A classic case of a man thinking with the wrong head.

During that whole secretly recorded call, she planned on destroying him. It's so disturbing to listen to. I pray that Jodi is convicted and severely punished. It will be the greatest travesty of justice since O.J if she is acquitted.

With all due respect, we have a more recent miscarriage of justice than OJ even. The Casey Anthony verdict...

First of all, just want to say you guys are incredibly awesome on this website! I am retired, addicted to this case, and I still can't seem to stay up with the threads. Couple of questions that no doubt have been covered and I just missed it. 1) I think sometime in Tuesday's testimony, JA actually said (and I thought it just slipped out) her "goal" was to marry him. When I heard that, I thought well of course. She pulled out all the 'sex' stops trying to catch him. His world was something new to our little small-time girl...the trips, the money, etc. Anyway, it seemed significant to me at the moment for her to admit that. 2) Has anyone made headway figuring out the receipts, deposits, etc? I cannot/will not believe she loaned him money. She.did.not.have.money! 3) I thought back in my day I was pretty 'cool' but after yesterday's tape, I guess I really am a June Cleaver LOL

Bryan Carr says that they met years ago through a mutual friend. They befriended each other on Facebook and finally met face to face a year ago when he drove down from Prescott (Arizona) to meet her in jail.

:floorlaugh: thanks! I don't get IS. I was wondering how disappointed Vinnie was going to be.

The way I see this is that the Judge will do certain things out of respect for the family, like play the tape in the jury's presence only. The family decided they would rather have everyone hear this and declined the judge's consideration in this matter.

In Arizona victims do have a say in some aspects of a criminal trial. Victims are afforded certain rights by Arizona's constitution. They are even allowed to be represented by counsel and participate in the case like a party to some degree.

I'll just let the lawyer speak above.

I wonder why Jody didn't ask Travis why if he didn't like Spiderman did he send her Spiderman underwear the previous Valentine's day.

Very good point - because she sur does manage to bring up just about every other past memory!!!

I think this may be more proof that the briefs are just a fabrication, along with the fake iron-on t-shirt/undies

Biblical reference to Esther

Esther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Being in the Mormon community where many name children after the bible, I wouldn't be surprised if there were 10000 Esthers in Mesa.

To me, it seems like an authentic automatic reaction she has. She does it with Nurmi, too.

My take on it is that she does it to appear gentle and shy. A passive apologetic sweet young lady. How could a girl that is forever apologizing be capable of doing any harm to anyone? Please. I can see right through her act.

If she were to show her true self and her spontaneous reactions then we would all be horrified. Monster is such a light word for what she really is.

Good morning Sleuthers! I got lost and couldn't find the thread. I keep up with this trial at home and at work and didn't work yesterday so the last link I had here at work was for the #30 thread on Monday. Usually I just go to the last page and follow the links to the next but for some reason the link at the end of #30 for the next thread didn't work.

The sex tape wasn't anywhere near as bad as I had anticipated. I was so worried that it was going to destroy the image of Travis. I heard that Jodi was so upset yesterday because the defense only wanted a small portion of the tape played and the prosecution pushed for the entire tape to be played. So much for her 'threats' in the plea deal we read. (I couldnt find the link for that on the timeline page) I wonder if Travis' family pushed Juan to play the entire tape? It sure doesn't look good for Jodi. She thinks she is so smart and her plans just keep back firing on her! She thought she would play the part where Travis mentioned she sounded like a 12 year old girl.. and her entire family got to hear how deviant SHE really is. Must have been humiliating with most of her family there, especially in front of her dad.

The tape put to rest the idea that Travis sent her 'little boys underwear'
Travis mentions that he does not like superman. There was no mention of boys superman underwear or that she wore them for him. IF he really had sent them to her for valentines day the would have been mentioned in the tape! *ding dong... Hello?*

I thought the defense calling Lisa was huge... Lisa's testimony did NOT help the defense and sex tape is an even more huge black eye for the defense! MOO

The sex tape was from May 2008. Jodi had to have recorded it *knowing* she had plans of destroying Travis AND his reputation. The timing is just too coincidental. The taping of the conversation may have been the first link in the chain of events leading to Travis' murder.

I got tears in my eyes hearing Travis sing. The tape made him more personable... So sad that he had to die the way that he did. I hope this jury makes the right call.
*Justice for Travis*

I absolutely agree with you, Lacey. There was no mention of most of what her testimony, and further her defense, is wrapped around. Yet, if your primary motivation is to destroy someone wouldn't you intentionally weave every single thing they've ever done wrong in?

I know I certainly would want record of the most damning evidence I could compile against him.

he better get his story straight...:waitasec:

Did he give a conflicting story? Link please! lease:

:floorlaugh: thanks! I don't get IS. I was wondering how disappointed Vinnie was going to be.

LOLOL he did a good imitation of Jodi right now too..."Here's a guy who wants to go to sleep and she is all revved up" and then does a great imitation of her talking. Dying laughing....I wish so much I could find this on YoutTube.

I dont know if this has been talked about yet... I saw last night people posting about Ester (Esther) - I was watching JVM last week and there was a woman on her show named Ester who lived with Travis in 2005, she was down on her luck and he took her in. She said staying with him a "few days" turned into 30 days. She didnt allude to anything between her and TA, just that they were close and like BFF's - i will see if I can find a face for you guys...

Also - I believe that we will hear of the day today - Ive heard rumors on twitter that JM gets her tomorrow.... lease:

Good catch, but her name was "Elisha", I believe!

ARIAS: Well, .. . . . as can readily be ascertained by any 3rd party observer who has measured the response and reaction times of those kind of individuals who have found themselves in precarious situations which almost always invite some sort of imminent attack – so to speak ….it is not at all difficult to replicate these physiological eruptions. And since I was a member of that particular coterie that is being carefully studied for heart rhythm and pulse amplitude I realized that a shock wave emanated from the extremity that was my wrist and this nerve discomfort was transported up through my neck region so as to result in a kind of discomfiture that resided somewhere in my head region. But because I had found myself to be largely unconscious I had to sort of "come to" - by that I would mean - when my mind had finally regained a full panoply of consciousness I estimated the noisome stimuli that my head felt was truly real. But I'm not quite sure about that last part.

It's part of her act. :furious:

Because its all a big fat lie!

Personally I think it's an act for the jury, to show how subservient she is to men.
