jodi arias TAKES THE STAND FOR 14TH DAY #69*may contain graphic and adult content*

[TigerBalm]

I missed all of today's testimony. What were they trying to prove by having Jodi stand with the female prosecutor?

That her finger just like in the photo with her sister Angela

 

[shefner]

Is that a not-so-subtle dig at those of us who have been posting tonight? :floorlaugh:

Pink Panther was referring to me.....I'm the sane one.

 

[Pink Panther]

I hear ya, but saying it was difficult for him to turn down sex with a woman he told friends he was afraid would kill him just because he was a healthy 30-year-old guy.....eeeehhhhh.....I feel uncomfortable about that.

Because it harkens back to the days when women were blamed for their own rapes because they were wearing miniskirts or a low cut top and the rapist was "just being a guy".

NOT saying in any WAY, SHAPE, or FORM that TA was a rapist. I am just saying that argument is a slippery slope. And one that could perpetuate dangerous stereotypes for both genders.

MOO

"Dangerous stereotypes for both genders..."

Why would one believe that she was invited and expected to show up at 4 in the morning?

Why would one believe that they would chill for a bit and just go to bed?

Why would one believe that they would wake up and have any sort of sexual/intimate involvement (apart from 6 very hinky photographs that show NO interaction between the two)?

Why would one believe any of her carp if she wasn't a woman?

TURN IT ALL AROUND.

If he had shown up at her house under the same circumstances, what would one believe?

Ehem. Really. Think about it.

The ONLY reason one thinks about and accepts this carp IS because she's a woman.

moo

Where is there a case for "Battered Men's Syndrome"? Are we getting to that lowest common denominator too?

:floorlaugh:

Ugh, Nurmi has ruined that nice question for me!!!

You and me both my friend, you and me both!

 

[joyceandjay]

Difference is, those girls you want to warn aren't psychopaths. Jodi is one. I've experienced all of what you're describing and I' m sure many of us have. We didn't butcher a guy and lie our a$$ off about it for years and then throw in a nice accusation of pedophilia to slaughter him after death.

You're talking about normal girls and the lessons are good. But jodi is another breed, IMO.

Yea totally hear ya!! I can't even imagine how some one less a woman (loose term) can be capable of that. I just wonder when if ever she thought to her self "What the F am I doing"? Probably not... right!!:waitasec:

 

[katydid23]

Okay, on March 3rd (yesterday) somebody from "Team Jodi" on that website (won't link to it) says that Jodi asked her to relay the message that BCarr is a loser, is not a friend & everything that he says is a lie. I guess we can make of it what we will.

I am curious now. Wasn't there a link somewhere showing that he had been a frequent visitor of hers in jail?

Was there proof or was he lying about that?

Did Huffington ever check out his claims that he was a frequent visitor of hers?

Yikes. Does that mean the rest of us are insane? :gasp:

Well I already knew that. :great:

Some here are very nutty. Unfortunately, they find me to be a target because I'm so sane it makes them look a lot more insane. Just sayin'.

'Nuff said.

Mormon ninjas now.....right. :waitasec:

No, it's true. I can produce a video. Go to the 3:37 mark and see for yourself.

[Truth Detector]

You can tell her "vocabulary" isn't rooted in knowledge outside of a rudimentary reading of Webster's Dictionary and maybe even a thesaurus by the way she uses words. She doesn't use them in the common/appropriate context not only that but there are times she uses them inappropriately. While you can learn words from a dictionary it's a whole different level to be able to use them with accuracy and appropriateness. For some reason I'm blanking right now on examples, but I've found myself noting her inappropriate or odd use of words on several occasions.

Today, when she said that Travis "sweared" at her.

She also preferred "ravish" to "rape" when answering Nurmi's question about what she wanted Travis to do to her.

rav·ish

Verb

Seize and carry off (someone) by force.

(of a man) Force (a woman or girl) to have sexual intercourse against her will.

Synonyms
violate - enrapture - abduct - enchant - bewitch

Typical Jodi Ann Arias...

Yes Steely, I can relate. They are very jealous of our sanity club.

 

[Whisperer]

Jodi hedges on her height and that wilmott character hedges on her height...hmmm. Now, look at the chairs where they sit (thanks to tv pointing it out). Jodi sits 5 inches shorter than her short attorney.

Just like with casey, they want her to look like a child...deja vu..ala fca....unable to battle the huge travis, who stood all of 5'9".

What a game with these attorneys and their props. The more the jurors see the defendent, the less likely they will want to find her guilty. That was the reason the defense in casey's case moved the table..put it directly in front of the jury. Of course, this move also elimiated the prosecutor from showing hugh photos of the crime.

Then we have the media who will help them. We will now have photo ops of the two girls together making them appear sisterly. These shennaghins are wrong. This whole country has gone mad!

You know you have watched too much of this trial when:

Snip...

3. When in the future you hear the word "anal" in any context a very unpleasant picture will come into your head. (admit it)

...

I didn't need the trial for this.

 

[Pink Panther]

Funny! Been there done that first hand! I will never be "roped in" again...

LOL

ETA - Once you've seen the number, you know it.

: )

 

[BeachGirlFromPA]

You know you have watched too much of this trial when:

1. Your husband gets amorous and you tell him "I am so sick of hearing about sex".

2. You know that for the rest of your life when you see a tootsie roll, JA face will come into your head (bad).

3. When in the future you hear the word "anal" in any context a very unpleasant picture will come into your head. (admit it)

4. When JA put her arm around her DT today, everyone on this board flinched and got creepy goosebumps like she actually touched you.

5. When you get in your shower, you re-enact the murder in your head.



Feel free to add on...

You now don't give a rat's bum how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.....
You can't eat a hot dog without glancing down the hallway and giggling....

Um. Even the emus are saner than a few of us. I've got NO problem admitting it...

They still taste good though. :biggrin:

If Jodi had married Travis I think she would have spent him to the verge of bankruptcy and then killed him for the insurance money. JMO

I think he may already have been in some financial straits due to the housing market...he had taken out a second mortgage on his house and was (per comments to JA via text) worried about keeping his house.

So it's a very possible scenario. :what:

 

[panthera]

me either. i think it was obsession. in her mind, he was the one. on the sex tape, she practically asked him to marry her. in some places on the tape i have the feeling she was crying, but pretending to laugh. according to paul stern whom she borrowed money from to go to see travis, she was all in a panic because he was seeing other people. the obsession drove her to kill him or like some put it, if i can't have him, nobody can.

Agree, and obsession to the point that in her mind, if she murdered him, she would forever be joined with him. She would be the one who ended his life here on Earth, and in a morbid way, be bonded for eternity.

MOO
