No one is innocent. TA seemed usually focused on sex and immature about their relationship. But he doesn't come off as a controlling aggressive violent person.
As far as "likes", who knows what Jodi liked. On the sex tape she seems to feign liking pretty much anything he does. She never seems to have been honest about her likes. On the stand we hear her say she wanted to make him happy. She did this or that to make him happy. But it comes down to she wasn't happy doing these things.
The lies and long descriptions she creates ring as self serving exagerrations and tall tales. Her attempt to paint herself as an abused woman is insulting to anyone who has been thru it.
So, yeah, the truth of the story may fall somewhere between TA's side and JA's side but JA is off the scale dangerous. If she hadn't flipped out with him it would have been some other guy or their girlfriend. She is conniving, manipulative and down right evil.
From the behaviors she demonstrated and what his friends witnessed, it's clear that TA wasn't naive. He knew she was obsessed on some level, or at least could see that she was set on having his heart (how could you not know after her gushing on that call). I think the problem was, as demonstrated on the sex tape so loudly, that she just made everything too easy and available for him.
Maybe because of his sexual morality system (guilt for violating it) he felt some sort of responsibility when (if) she started tire slashing. I think maybe he felt a combination of difficultly resisting such easy sexual offers and some guilt for his *perceived* involvement in the creation this situation. Jodi loves to play the guilt game as well, perhaps he was stuck in such a cycle.
Just speculating, MOO
