Day 35: pt 3
JW/Dr Sam
The more that JW tries to explain the problems with Dr Samuels, the more attention she is calling to them.
“ how do you assess someone who is lying to you?
By the consistency of the reportingÂ…the diary, text messages, e-mails, reports from othersÂ…[ ArenÂ’t these just more lies ? ]
Q: “ maybe she didn’t write negative stuff cuz there wasn’t anything?’
JW: did u use other ancillary things besides the journal to see if there was anything negative?
DS–:I did
JW; “ text messages—for example #444”
TA says “no not call me ,do not text me, either fess up or feel my wrath… “
JW; Is this not threatening behavior? Are thses comments hurtful and mean?
Here is another TEXT FIGHT. She reads more angry texts, and you can see Jodi doing her ‘victim’ face.
So she reads off this entire tirade of TravisÂ’s, where he is obviously freaked out by herÂ…AND THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HELP THE DEFENSE?
Here it is = she hoped he would CHANGE. I bet we hear a lot of tht from ALV next week. Jodi was hurt and shamed by mean Travis, but she never said anything negative because she hoped he would ‘change.’
This proves she has low self esteem and is not assertive according to the doctor. I wonder what ALV will say about low self esteem and non assertiveness? LOL
===================================================
HERE IS THE IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION THAT HAS BEEN CREATED FOR ALV.
On one hand, we have these journals and these anecdotes on 48 Hrs and these police interviews, where Jodi herself explains the wonderful and loving kindnesses expressed by Travis. We hear how he always reached out to generously help those in need, both strangers and friends, and he gave her a place to store her things and a place to stay when she was moving, and the lovely Cinnabon story, and the Cinderella story of the night they met, where he invited her to the Executive Ball and the night he treated her like a goddess with the candles and rose petals...etc etc.
And even though he gave into sin and temptation with Jodi, he had a highly motivated and successful demeanor, lots of friends and an active religious life.
We have to contrast this positive information with the 'dirt' that Jodi is attempting to muddy him up with. And it is really hard to believe much of it. For corroboration, they keep going back to the 'hurtful' stuff he wrote when he calls her a sociopath and tells her to get lost because she is ruining his life with her evilness. I don't think that helps her case that much.
It tends to make her look just as bad if not worse. And the ONLY other dirt we have on Travis comes from Jodi's lying mouth. That's it. Her 'word' that he looks at pix of lil boys.
And it is only her word that he 'choked her out.' And kicked her in the finger. Oh, and 'backhanded' her in the neck while they were driving. I think that is the extent of it, until that fateful day that he became a deadly ball of fury, and she had to slaughter him.
So we have all stories and this evidence and this corroboration of these kind hearted, generous actions of Travis throughout his life and NO one coming forward to say he broke their finger or choked them out. Except Jodi. And it is odd, because Jodi spent the last several years PROTECTING Travis's reputation. That is why she never reported his abuse or told anyone he was a pedophile, including his friends who had little kids. She did not even write about any of it in her journal, she was so protective of his good name. But I guess now she just decided to come clean and tell the world how evil he really was. :waitasec:
So ALV has quite the task. She has to convince the jury that the only person who knew the 'real' Travis was Jodi. He fooled all of the rest of the world for all those years. But Jodi is telling the truth now, no more alternate realities for her. Is ALV going to try and sell that story to the jury?
was on Travis' computer. This to me will be a key piece of information. JM already asked Jodi if that is what she told Ms. LaViolette - which of course Jodi denied ever telling her that. For me, how this is addressed will give me an indication of how to view her. Right now, I can't have any opinion about her at all, I can only hope if she is true to her work, she will be professional on the stand with no agenda other than the truth.
