jodi arias TAKES THE STAND FOR 12TH DAY #58 *may contain graphic and adult content*

[jevipo74]

Why does she need to keep documentation of encounters she has with her various men? It's insane!

 

[SAgal]

Real Question: What does it mean when JA is "adjusting" these men - Travis and Ryan? What's is involved in "adjusting?" Thanks.

 

[smeck]

Text messages are a treasure trove for the prosecution. Its amazing how technology has change murder trials.

 

[Truth Detector]

Wow, so JM is making the case that Ryan Burns would have been her next bloodbath had she not been arrested!

She was picking up with Ryan precisely where she left off with Travis.

 

[TartLemon]

Did Travis ever travel for a specific visit with Jodi? Seems she always went to him.

 

[lonetraveler]

I really like it when Juan gets her to read her own text mgs. to the jury. Makes her show ownership. :moo:

 

[Love Never Fails]

Yeah, what the heck was that all about? I wasn't on the boards yet at that point but saw the testimony. She "lost" her phone 8 days after the recording (8 days, not 7... according to her) and then it "resurfaced" a few years later?

What's the deal there?

It tells me she wanted a new phone so she lied and reported it stolen so insurance would buy her a new phone. And also that she wanted to save her old phone so could could replay that sex tape and not be disturbed by a phone call while she was listening to it over and over and over and.....
You get the idea.
She ripped off the insurance company. Why am I not surprised?

 

[K_Z]

Wait for it-- I think she is going to "admit" that she is "not a good liar."

 

[lil_buddy]

did u see how her face fell when JM switched gears from sex to the murder?

 

[rose222]

I have no idea what adjusting means. Health-wise or sexually? I don't know!

 

[oceanblueeyes]

She is a vicious murderer. But watching the prosecutor treat her like she was a worm under a magnifying glass makes me uncomfortable.

It delights me that he is uncovering the real murderess.

IMO

 

[Steely Dan]

How about giggly gespatcho?

 

[marciec]

I just can't understand how she discerns that this jury would be approving or would take her side when she's so verbally difficult - NEVER answering a direct question but showing herself to be SOOOO defiant and indignant of anyone's authority over her. I mean, isn't her entire case based on 'poor poor pitiful me'? But it's like she's completely forgotten that, no??

 

[LotusPawprint]

She's ruined cinnabon yesterday and biscotti today. Oi.

How many other tasty pastries will she ruin before her testimony is over??

 

[Beccaboo]

"I think I was inconsistant with my lies." No truer words have ever come out of Jodi's mouth

 

[Weebles]

She admitted she was inconsistant in her lies. Wonder if in her mind it was good to lie about her lies because a double negative makes a positive and therefore they are no longer lies

 

[Tulessa]

Get out the wooden spoon! :floorlaugh:

Or the Ky! :floorlaugh: :floorlaugh: :floorlaugh:

I'm not sure this kind of talk making you feel uncomfortable makes you a prude. A prude, to me, won't even consider anything outside of vanilla sex, including foreplay...it's intercourse for the sole purpose of reproduction and nothing else...that, to me, is a prude. It's natural to be embarrassed to be looking into the window of someone else's sex life, in fact I would think it strange if everyone didn't feel a tad embarrassed by this talk.

I know I turned BEET red when Juan used the "p" word, but I did NOT turn beet red when Jodi used it. Figure that out. Ah ha ha ha

I think I am the most bothered by it knowing that it would have killed Travis to know we, let alone his family, are hearing it.

As some have said, she is killing him a 4th time here in court.

 

[Stolat]

IMO, Jodi is laughing and smirking because she has "forced" the prosecutor to say "embarrassing" sex slang in open court. She doesn't get it that he is impeaching her. She thinks she is winning because he is blurting out sex slang, and that he is "shocked" by that.

She has forced the entire court system to focus on her SEX activities.

She is hoping that the jury can't get beyond the SHOCK of the sex slang.

I see the immature side of her, yes - but I also see defiance. She undoubedtly is clever enough to see (once he whammies her) that he has busted her on a lie. I think we are seeing an involuntary defense mechanism on her part to cope with her emotional register of guilt and shame for lying which she refuses to feel or display.

My mom was a high school teacher and I sometimes sat in her class waiting for her to take me home end of day. She had a few rowdy boys she had to send to detention and as she was publicly reprimanding them on their disrespectful behavior *I* could tell they were embarrassed, however they refused to acknowledge that emotion in their demeanor and instead they would smile, smirk, or even laugh. This was to put on a tough guy "you can't hurt me" facade.


I get the exact same vibe of "you can't hurt me" from Jodi too.

 

[BritsKate]

God almighty ... she begs him to call her, text her .. so often.

Which lends a lot of validity to those here who believe she was the abusive personality in this relationship.

Beyond 'neediness' abuse is all about control. Abusers paint it as neediness, concern, jealousy or anger in order to have the victim comply to seemingly unreasonable demands. At the heart of it though it's simply about control.

MOO
