So, I'm rewatching some testimony, JA's testimony just after the phone call tape was played and here is the testimony:
Begins with talking about TA grabbing JA's rear end in public when TA perceived that other men may be showing an interest in her....
Nurmi: And the t-shirt he gave you, that was for the times when he wasn't around, is that what your belief was? (Juan objects in the middle, judge overrules)
JA:No, it was a joke (my note...now it is a joke, previously abusive) he wanted me to wear it in public in Huntington Beach, he wanted me to wear it into the lobby and there were other associates there
but I refused, it was embarrassing so I just wore it kind of as pajamas.
BBM
So, she had enough backbone to refuse to follow TA's command to wear this t-shirt in public but didn't have enough backbone to refuse all of the 'rape' type incidents she describes and in any other area of their relationship. A good cross question with this statement would be "Did Travis beat you for not wearing the t-shirt in Huntington Beach?" and "Did Travis yell at you for not wearing the t-shirt in Huntington Beach?" "Did Travis threaten to kill you because you betrayed his command when you didn't wear the t-shirt in Huntington Beach?" If the answer to any of those question is "yes" then ask "Why did you not testify to this on direct when you've consistently testified to every other act of abuse by Travis?"
Or...something like that...of course I don't know what kinds of questions are objectionable but I'm quite confident that the Juan would be able to word those types of questions properly.
Her lies are really getting under my skin and her inconsistencies are piling up. This may be my perception but it almost seems as if Juan has stopped taking notes, I wonder if he's working around the clock with the transcripts after court recesses for the evening.
I also wonder if he checks this amazing website for things he may not have caught on to or didn't think of in the same way...just to get a different perspective.
Things that make you go hmmmmmm.....
Good morning everyone!
