How come some photos they're showing and some they aren't?

I think they were not going to show the public any photos that contained nudity (so we have just seen some of the hands and the feet)

His poor sisters had to leave the Courtroom.

Bless them... :heartbeat:

More dry tissue action and she looked more than once at head wound pics

she stabbed him hard enough in the head to have a divot in the skull bone

Why is she crying.....She was there in person and did this......maybe doesn't like the ugly photos?

Just a few random thoughts and questions...

1. My mom raised a good point on hearing that traces of Jodi's blood were found mixed with Travis's. Mom's question: What made Jodi start bleeding?! ... Here's a good place for the defense to drive home their story, that Jodi had to defend herself.

2. I learned today that Jodi dropped out of high school in the 11th grade. Is this a sign of not being very bright, of having foggy thinking long before meeting Travis? What was going on with her family to have allowed this?

3. Jodi seems like some kind of "personality sponge." I sense that she's ever in search of a leader or guru, someone to attach to. I suspect this because:
a) Her old blogs seemed to mimic Travis's thinking and life outlook. She "grabbed" his Mormon religion in no time flat. And she seemed to rely on Travis to "save her" from a mundane existence, his (short-lived) promises of love and travel excitement. It's as if she felt she was *nothing* without him to validate her existence and tell her ways to think.
b) She now seems to be mimicking her lady attorney... I noticed the other day that Jodi's hairstyle was like her lawyer's. Now today, Jodi's wearing glasses similar to her attorney's.

4. Is there a clinical name for people who repeatedly try to morph into other people's personality?

Borderline personality disorder. They are an empty shell and mimic what is around them. Nothing will fill them up. A thousand cars, a hundred boyfriends. No happiness or fulfillment ever

It's for a purpose, the jury's benefit

Could she have been kicking him to have all the bruising on his legs and ankles??

I was thinking the same thing.

IMO psychopathy best describes it.

It amazes me how she acts like she doesn't want to look at these pictures (even though I've seen her peeking many times) - CA did the same thing. They don't mind KILLING someone, but they can't bear to see the results of killing someone?

Cowardly.

She's such a good, little actress. Just incredible. The heaving body, contorted facial expression, look of anguish.

Yet never, ever any redness or tears.


Unfortunately, I don;t think the jury will notice the fakery. They usually don;t look for things like the presence of tears.

 

[lonetraveler]

don't think so

I wish I could find the statement of one of her male friends who spoke about wounds on her hands and arms. A poster mentioned it earlier so I know I saw it and didn't imagine it. I can fully understand how she would have cuts on her hands with all the stabbing and blood. I simply can not see how on earth the defense is going to show self-defense .

 

[nursebeeme]

she slashed at his face too

 

[popsicle]

JA either needs to stop with the phoney act or spend some time in her cell practicing so she in more believable! It's making me crazy.

 

[nursebeeme]

brutal... skull chips... penetration of the strap muscle 1 and 1/4 inch

 

[LotusPawprint]

Look at her looking :what:

WTH*!@$!

#192 - #199

Grouping of injuries - happened about same time and all oriented same direction. . . . diagonal extending from R shoulder to back.

There are a pair of wounds going the other direction. Could be consistent with individual having his back to attacker- yes

9 injuries clustered together - upper part is post mortem skin slippage

9 stab wounds- deeper than longer- all about 1" deep - going into back parts or ribs and spine - none of them entered chest cavity but w/decomp can't rule that out. They appear to all have been stopped by bones. depends on force of assailant and weapon used how deep and the thickness of his bone also plays a role. they didn't go thru the bone

Buttock area - a little red - lividity - found in a semi-seated position - blood settled to that area.

Gasses forming in the body expelling from decomp - liquid or fluid come out with the gas.

#194 - Look @ right foot. Bruises or blood or discolor? Discolor and mummification.

Left foot and knee area - on the other side - dried parchment like appearance see after death. Left contusion on the ankle area and abbrasion on achilles tendon.

#192 - grouping wounds - head and neck

#195 - shaved some the hair from he head - deep incised wounds very deep go into back of skull - some force applied to these wounds - but if you have a very sharp blade it cuts but it goes to the bone that takes much more force. 2" in both wounds

His hair is very short, it is not long or bushy so it didn't cushion

The edges of one portion of the incised wounds - caused divit in teh skull - bone was chipped away

#199 - the tip of an implement - tp of a knife - bone has been chipped away.

#195 - divit one @ extreme left end of the wound @ the bottom

#198 cansee it there too.

#196 - focus on area down here to the bottom - also to the front of the head on #197 the 2 injuries - towards the front of the head forehead near hairline - you can see his eyebrow in the bottom of the picture. These wounds are all pre-death - all have bleeding associated with it.

#200 and #201 - R side of TA' neck behind the ear . . .

all of these injuries looked @ so far - taken together all the wounds could have been fatal over time.

#200 - stab wound back part of skull behind ear - down intoskull boney area - into the strap muscle 1 1/4"

#202 = back opposite side left side neck another stab wound.

 

[CUCKOOHEAD]

Wonder how the jury is holding up with these photos?

 

[lonetraveler]

Kind of difficult to show self-defense when some of the wounds were made from behind him.
