jodi arias TAKES THE STAND FOR 13TH DAY #63 *may contain graphic and adult content*

[Lexington]

i'm bummed that we didn't find out why travis called her a sociopath.

And what he was referring to when he said she scammed him.

 

[Zuri]

Right. He did. I think she said 5'-5"...Remember the picture he showed of her and TA side-by-side? She and TA looked to be the same height? Was TA 5-5"? Has his height been listed anywhere?

His height was listed as 69" in the autopsy report

 

[sewsroses]

Look at her face after Juan close, she almost smirks again, looks like she is thinking I won.

 

[TigerBalm]

Can Juan call JA to the stand again during rebuttal?

No, the state cannot call the defendant to the stand, only the defense can.

The reason the Judge wants the transcripts to remain sealed apparently has something to do with privacy of witness and jurors as well as case strategy.

From wenwe4's transcript (snipped):

yes but he wants it sealed for appeals if she gets DP....hence my comment

 

[Schuby]

Not impressed at all today! I was expecting way more from JM...

Wow, I thought he hit a home run, interested to know what disappointed you?

A primary characteristic of PTSD is the inability to stop re-living the trauma over and over. Not amnesia. The inability to get gruesome images, sounds and smells out of your mind. Again, not amnesia.

So I'm interested to see how a paid shill characterizes all this.

Thank you. PTSD IS RELIVING EVERY DETAIL.....bless you!

She was looking hideous when she stood up today! Those pathetic pants...ya know she just hated her wardrobe!

Only women would notice and comment on her clothing. Guys, on the other hand, are hoping for blouse buttons to burst, or for her to lean forward a bit more, or for hints that the courtroom is chilly.

The thing is, barring her psychopathic obsession with TA, she was a gorgeous young female who could have enjoyed all sorts of free sex with all sorts of willing and able men of all ages. Her downfall was due to her insecurity and attaching herself to a man whose religious morality conflicted with hers. TA should've been just a one-night stand, then she should have just moved on to others. If she stuck with that plan, she could've been married with kids by now.

I believe Jodi's downfall was due to the choice she made to use her beauty to manipulate men as a life strategy instead of understanding that "a man is not a retirement plan." Her goal of attaching herself to a prosperous man and making herself indispensible to him sexually failed because eventually, even shallow men are smothered by her possessiveness and repelled by her cold, calculated mirroring of their interests.

Remember when she was still in high school, she marches up to a strange man at a carnival and then chases him using warnings of a religious Armageddon as the reason for repeatedly calling him. Jodi used religion as part of the chum she threw in the water to make herself look "deep" or "spiritual", i.e., desirable as a wife.

When these men didn't think marrying a queen was a good idea, she became furious and felt used, felt like a prostitute. Those who have tried this strategy and even some who become prostitutes can be shown that their emptiness can be filled by developing their own interests and skills and a life that reflects their own core beliefs.

The sociopath has no such core and is just a manipulative actress. Jodi could have become a wedding planner, but it's a lot of work and you have to have a schedule, make appointments and keep them. That's a high-paying job, but she really wanted to be a trophy wife and felt entitled to the man of her choice because of her beauty and pseudo personality. So she pretended to be a photographer. There is no evidence that she sold even one photo, let alone supported herself this way.

I think she was actually turning tricks to support herself.

Jodi hung on to MM until he found someone else, hung on to DB until she found someone equally rich/attractive who might marry her. You notice she was perfectly willing to leave DB AND A CHILD that she had lived with as a stepmother for some four years-- no bond. SHe was climbing a ladder and he did not want to marry her, even if she was a three-hole wonder.

When Travis put her in a rented room and booted her out of his glamorous lifestyle, of course she could not stand the humiliation of being his castoff. Seeing him with his new love, probably a Mormon virgin. She had offered him her kinky, well-used lady bits and he passed. Also, remember that his rejection meant she might not be so "eligible" in Mormon circles or at Prepaid Legal. And they were the only circles she had in Arizona-- even her roommate had rejected her because of her promiscuity and violent behavior. She knew everyone in the ward knew it was her. He was going to get off scott free and everyone thought she was a *****.

I think she was steaming over this and when she went down from the Executive Director's Big Ring dinner back to her grandmother's spare room and life as a waitress, she was incensed. She would not be powerless, she would show Travis how powerful she was. She would get her revenge by ruining his oh-so-perfect life as a hypocrite.

IMO she tried to blackmail him and when that failed, she felt she had to kill him to keep him from telling people what she had done with the sex photos (which I believe were staged by her). She would be excommunicated from the Mormon church, banned from Prepaid Legal and life at Grandma's would be it.

What is amazing to me is that sociopaths think they are so much smarter than everyone else. They actually believe that people cannot see what they are doing. "Duping delight" is absolutely right. It is a form of entertainment for the sociopath with great satisfaction afterward, like you or I would enjoy a terrific meal and a fine glass of wine.

WHen you have one in your family, it is terrifying to see it up close. My heart breaks for Travis' family. I know what it's like to live with a scar like that. I lost a son the same age as Travis and I think of him every day even though it was almost twenty years ago.

For those people unsure what the media was trying to get released it was the hearing on the 10 letters which TA supposedly wrote about being a pedophile. More of Jodi frame up of Travis.

You can read the court final ruling at the link posted below. It proves that Jodi Arias wrote the letters in question herself. JODI WROTE THE LETTERS and that is what the press is after. Court documents does not show the letters themselves but it does show what was ultimately decided about who wrote them.

Clink on the document in top left and it will come up without having to download anything. The court judgement starts on page 11.

As many times as Nurmi and Jodi have brought up the letters, I think that it is only right that the Court ruling on them is made public even without showing the letters themselves. In the interest of Justice that ruling should be admitted into the court record for the jury to see and take into consideration in determining if what JA says about TA being a pedophile has ANY truth behind it.

I don't think the jury will see this but they will when they get done. I sure hope they convict her of first degree. They'll be sorry if they don't when they see what she did with the phony letters.

 

[NotMyselfNEMore]

If the redirect brings up anything new then there can be a recross.




gitana1 answered this a few pages back. If Nurmi brings up anything new on redirect, then JM can recross.

Sorry - I think I asked this, too - didn't see the first one - thanks!

 

[Hatfield]

If she gets out of jail free, NOT, she needs to get a job with a basketball team. Grabbing a gun from atop a closet that is 9 feet high is pretty impressive for someone 5'6".

I mentioned before that i wish Juan would have brought in an exact replica of the closet shelves and then ask her to climb up there. I bet she couldnt do it. Or at least it would be very difficult for her.

You have to have at least 1 hand on shelf so you dont fall backwards and at least 1 or 2 feet to get balance.

It would have showed how long it would take to reach that spot.
I almost doubt she could even do it. Get to that far back corner at top.

Me too....:waitasec:

Really?

lol...I think we've found Jodi's next victim.

I get the sneaking suspicion that you may think JA is not as guilty as we do. Would love to hear your rationale.

My computer hates docstoc and refuses to allow me to view the documents.
Anyone care to take a screen shot of the ruling and post it?

TIA

 

[panthera]

Watching NG......

JA is crying because she was trapped in a corner. Tears for herself, not Travis.



MOO

 

[thistle]

thanks so much! . . . . no one in my life understands this obsession with me! I guess I feel better doing something and keeping busy - so comments like this keep me going .

I will probably not be able to transcribe much (if at all next week) so I will be hoping someone will be willing to jump in and back up KMouse and others!

it helps to have more than 1 person - there is no way me to keep up with every word (thank god they repeat themselves frequently!)

I (for one) am honestly looking forward to transcribing someone who doesn't talk as fast! both of them talk so fast . . . . . and they talk over each other frequently!

Thank you again, wenwe4, you deserve a break, trying to keep up with this testimony is difficult! We all (especially those of us who are not that fast on the uptake) appreciate what you do...

 

[A_News_Junkie]

Could those pants be grounds for a mistrial?

LOL - but, I bet they were a big part of the reason she didn't want to show the line-backer pose!
