Jodi Arias Trial discussion, #4

[zoey]

I just don't understand the questioning.
How is this going to help his client ?

they need the gunshot first.....but I wish they could talk to to ja and ask her how many times her lines changed.....:banghead:

 

[Worry Wart]

yea, but the amount of blood in that bathroom - is it possible that she didnt track ANY through the closet? I just really find that hard to believe.

I suppose if she removed her shoes before entering the closet.

 

[Davia18]

REALLY !!!
What about his clients accurate testimony !! UGH

 

[TigerBalm]

If they asked this witness what Dr. Horn's opinion was then that would be hearsay, geesh stop already.

 

[Curious Me]

Hope he's (attorney) aggravating the jury as much as he is me. Let's insult the officer.

He's aggravating me!

 

[JSR]

Which is why there are so many socks washed and dried?

Good point!!

 

[popsicle]

the defense is rallying...or do they just think so?

Afternoon testimony
Detective Flores

--Flores is asked if he spoke with the ME, Doctor Horn about this case. The conversation would have taken place August 6, 2009. Doctor Horn testified that he did not remember speaking to Flores.
--In 2009 Flores was asked about the sequencing of injuries by Dr. Horn. Flores answered that the gunshot was possibly first. Flores' anwer was based on a telephone conversation he had with Dr. Horn. Flores asked Horn if Travis would have suffered. Defence is focused on the accuracy of the report. Flores asked Horn if Alexander could be conscious after the gunshot to the head. Flores says it is his understanding of what the situation was.
--Flores also gave past opinions that Travis was shot first and aspirated blood over the sink.
--Flores has heard Dr. Horn's testimony from this week. Heard Dr. Horn testify that he did not remember speaking to Flores previously.
--Flores says he spoke the truth of what he believed at that time. Flores says that if he gave that testimony it was a misunderstanding of what Dr. Horn told him.

and her socks and her skin

 

[tisamystery]

So is that it for today?

I assume the defense's case relies on a story that he was shot first, didn't go down, kept coming after her, until she killed him with a knife. So the defense is trying to refute the ME's opinion that the stabbing happened first.


ETA: They want the jurors to think the ME is changing his story to fit the prosecution's theory. Remember they grilled the ME about this, i.e., "didn't you tell Detective that he was shot first?", and the ME was getting really pissed.

 

[KMouse]

ugh that was painful.
Trying to discredit Flores

I need to go. Continue the good work people. I'll read upon my return

 

[Davia18]

Good thing there is a break, I need it. LOL
I could never be a juror, I would want to stand up and yell.

then how do they refute the blood expert telling us bullet casing landed on top of the blood, the blood was there first. good luck!

 

[TigerBalm]

Who really cares which injury came first.

She slaughtered him. The first would regardless if it was the shot or stab to heart would have killed him. He wasn't attacking her. That's been proven by the blood evidence. IMO

IMO the defense was going to be that Travis went to attack her so she grabbed the gun and shot him, then the gun misfired. Since Travis was still coming after her, she had to stab him 27 times and slash his throat before he would stop. or something lame like that

 

[Linda7NJ]

It's also kinda hard to have all those defensive hand wounds if he's facing the sink standing after being shot.

We know he was in the hallway being stabbed while he was trying to crawl away.

The clean bullet casing is on top of a big thick gob of dried blood in the bathroom.

If that's what they are trying to do I can't wait to hear how stabbing him the back is self defense :waitasec:
