BBMTo this day, Jodi admits Travis was a great person...and that she loves him.
This sounds like an abuse victim.
But I need some expert information....
"Sounds like" is the operative term here. JA is a mimic, and she studies. She's certainly been educated on DV, how victims may behave, phrase things, react in certain ways, use specific keywords/terminology... Perhaps they used the clicker-training method, because she seems to have the rote words and pretend emotions down but they just don't come off as anything close to sincere or authentic. Because, I believe, they simply aren't authentic. I think she's trying her best, but imv it's woefully inadequate.
Again, her complete lack of credibility hurts her with this as well. We have numerous examples (video, audio, witness testimony, forensics, documentation) of the unbelievable and casual way she lies, prolifically...
If her 'seeming like' an abuse victim was at all authentic or had even the feeblest hint of corroboration, then - despite her lying, I think this trial would have a very different feel to it.
She's a lousy actress, imv, because she truly does not feel emotion or empathy. The only things she feels are:
--Her own satisfaction or happiness when she gets her way - and I believe that's all that matters to her.
--Rage/Revenge - she is consumed with jealousy not for fear of having her heart broken or self-esteem crushed, but because she feels a sense of ownership, possession (people are objects to use and siphon from). I believe she felt entitled to Travis, and Travis' life. It was something she wanted. When she was denied by Travis (something she wasn't used to and couldn't handle), in her mind it was payback time. In the most ultimate terms that can be realized.
