jodi arias TAKES THE STAND FOR 10TH DAY #54 *may contain graphic and adult content*

[Pensfan]

These are the symptoms of someone who has abandonment issues:

Unstable, intense and difficult relationships

Poor self-image (DEFINITELY NOT JODI -REMEMBER THE PHOTOS)

Self-destructive, impulsive behavior

Suicidal threats or attempts (NOPE, SHE LOVES HERSELF TOO MUCH)

Self-mutilation (SHE WOULD NEVER DISFIGURE HERSELF)

Extreme mood reactions, including intense, inappropriate anger

Feeling empty or alone

Fear of abandonment

On NG, Mark Klaas just summoned up the irises... they are the cheapest flower to send someone and the story was made up.

I don't doubt the baby name story is made up. However that Jodi came up with the story is disturbing. Even more disturbing is sending flowers and a letter to the grieving family of the person you savagly murdered. This one act is extremely chilling. Poor family.

She has to toy with everybody. She can never just walk away and leave things. Even after the murder she attempting to communicate with everybody under the sun. I don't want to say she is a cat toying with her prey because I love animals....but you get my point.

Mostly lurking however had to comment on this. A very wise counselor once told me that you can never ever beat someone like (Jodi) at their own game. JM is trying to keep her off script and off balance. She will suck him in and keep the script right on her track if JM doesn't throw her off.

Exactly ! I feel he is doing a very good job of it so far...what say you ?

 

[Observer in AZ]

We will have to agree to disagree. Jodi is a narcissist and psychopath aka a monster. She is not a sad little puppy that is afraid of abandonment. Remember that she dumped Darryl (lived with him 4 years) at the first sign that he had financial problems. (She never attached to him because she CAN'T attach to anyone. She only loves herself.) She planned to kill Travis because he had the "audacity" to insult/reject her. Nobody is allowed to insult a narcissist without experiencing some form of punishment.

Narcissistic personality disorder:
• Are self-centered and boastful
• Seek constant attention and admiration
• Consider themselves better than others
• Exaggerate their talents and achievements
• Believe that they are entitled to special treatment
• Are easily hurt but may not show it
• Set unrealistic goals
• May take advantage of others to achieve their goals
Other common traits of narcissistic personality disorder include the following:
• Preoccupation with fantasies that focus on unlimited success, power, intelligence, beauty, or love
• Belief that he or she is "special" and unique, and can only be understood by other special people
• Expectation that others will automatically go along with what he or she wants
• Inability to recognize or identify with the feelings, needs, and viewpoints of others
• Envy of others or a belief that others are envious of him or her
• Hypersensitivity to insults (real or imagined), criticism, or defeat, possibly reacting with rage, shame, and humiliation
• Arrogant behavior and/or attitude

PEN didn't realize you were in the field what do you think of borderline? I know there doesn't appear to be drug use but promiscuity gambling on men quick get rich schemes etc

 

[FrayedKnot]

Jodi rattles off the baby girls' names they discussed: Iris, Hinkley, Megan, Reagan......

A little freaky that John Hinkley shot President Reagan.

If you ask me, JA pulled these names out of her arse, and her murderous subconscious came sliding out with them.

I thought Hinkley was a big fancy pants Mormon leader? Is that not right?

I thought an LDS member said it was a pretty common trend to name kids after LDS leaders. :waitasec:

Also, Reagan was one of Travis' heroes. He was a huge fan of 80's capitalism.

So I don't think those were among JA's many lies.

 

[Curious Me]

The only abuse story I believe so far is the one with Jodi sitting on a washing machine while Travis runs upstairs to bang his head on a door and repeating something to himself in absolute frustration with Jodi.

 

[Pensfan]

snipped from SteelyDan's post #199

That struck me. A normal human's thought would be "I have never killed anyone before and so . . ."

Not he was the FIRST person I ever killed ?

More of JA not seeming to quite be able to carry off a normal human response.

That made the hair on my arms stand up too.

 

[tlcya]

uggh, the 18 page "short and sweet" note to TA's grandma is further evidence of her psychotic inability to let TA go, trying to reach out and connect to grandma in some sick twisted bid to stay close to TA even in death.


This chick seriously freaks me out. Like a physical shudder, a hair on the back of the neck with her wrongness ness.

 

[Intermezzo]

One of them is saying the stupidest things in JA's defense. She said " JM may be proving that she is a liar, but that doesn't mAke her a murderer." HUH?

Last I heard, her only way to stay off Death Row is to be BELIEVABLE about her self defense claims. If JM does prove she is a pathological liar, then she has no defense.

This same female defense attorney said something else really stupid too, on NG. She was saying what a poor, battered victim JA was, and NG said, " But Travis was the victim, not Jodi. She slit his throat"

" But the prosecutor hasn't proven that yet" she said. SERIOUSLY? Has this TH even looked at the facts of this case?

BBM

That line was used during on the show in 2011 during Casey Anthony's trial I don't remember if it was J Weintraub or S Honowitz that said it, but it was one of them

 

[Pink Panther]

Yeah ... Thought I heard that too.
20 pages of LIES - way to keep it short & sweet JA.

Poor Grandma (and entire Alexander family) ... Dig that knife in deeper and twist it JA.
Killing Travis over and over again ... making his poor family listen to her lies ... Having the gall to send flowers to an old woman who lost her Grandson in the most horrific way, attending his memorial service.


I have SO much respect for the Alexander family. How they sit there each day to find justice for dear Travis.

18 pages long? Are you sure about that? Has this letter come into evidence?

 

[TotallyObsessed]

Forced myself to watch this clip, and it's very striking how she can smile and yet there's no "there" there, because of her eyes. They don't even look human, more like a shark's...

Quint (the fisherman character in the movie "Jaws"): "And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya...."

OMG Just watched this. ”smile and Say cheese”. They should have pled insanity.

 

[Anita Richman]

Picture this: Jodi gets the death penalty and when asked for any last words..............she starts out with the spoon story ............and goes on and on and on.

I think she'd start off with the WOMB story and go on and on and on! LOL "And in the 20th week, I was sucking my thumb (which is early, most fetus don't do that) and I was getting a lot of praise from the midwife and the obstetrican, but my parents weren't very impressed. They weren't against it, they just weren't overly excited about my superior thumb sucking skills, which at that point I didn't know, but was I going to turn that into one of my most popular party tricks."

 

[KittyMomOf5]

He had me this morning. This afternoon he had me until Bobby came back into place. I won't always agree with everything on how he does stuff...to me its no big deal. He isn't a perfect man, he isn't going to do everything perfectly...this isn't Law and Order or a John Grisham movie. I do know that it is the evidence the jury must look at...and not either attorney's style. It still wanted to smack Jodi towards the end...I literally had had it with her and Numi and those stupid sidebars. I think if you gave Juan all of a 24 hour day he would hammer at her all 24 hours LOL.

I'd like to know how the dude unwinds after a day of dealing with her...and could he please pass those tips on to us LOL??? If many here are feeling the same way after just WATCHING her I can only imagine how hard it is for those in the courtroom.

It's got to involve a lot of rum...IMO.... :great:

 

[Callisto]

I can't wait til he asks her about the shower pictures and why they are so crappy and poor quality. I think if he criticizes her photography skills she will get pissed and it will be at the right time, right before JM gets to the murder so she will get pissed right before he hammers her over her BS about running and the gun and whatnot

My gut tells me the jury will find her Guilty of 1st degree murder. The judge will assess the Penalty at Death by lethal injection.

It will be her first death sentence given. Her reasoning will be dramatic and she will reveal she believes she killed him in cold blood, intricately planning his murder and brutally nearly dismembering him and stuffing him in the shower in a rage killing she has never seen the likes of.

She is not buying a second of this.

The jury is the one that has to decide if she is given death. They will do that in the sentencing phase which will be another mini-trial within itself. If they recommend death then the Judge will go with their decision imo. She can reduce it to LWOP but she isnt going to do that. I have felt all along this Judge thinks she is guilty as hell. She cant raise it to death though if they voted for LWOP. The USSC said only a jury of 12 can decide if a defendant should get the death penalty.

IMO

 

[ILikeToBendPages]

I'm going back through Jodi on the tapes and she talks about children names and says Hinkley, Megan and Reagan. John Hinkley shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981

 

[KMouse]

Picture this: Jodi gets the death penalty and when asked for any last words..............she starts out with the spoon story ............and goes on and on and on.

Well one thing we know is that she will never atone for her sins and will never take any responsibility and have any remorse. The quicker she goes the better.

 

[kscornfed]

18 pages long? Are you sure about that? Has this letter come into evidence?

Can you believe it? I'm afraid it's not coming in.

 

[katiedid2]

When she is sent to state prison.

Oh thank you I forgot about that
