I think in her mind she wasn't "trapping" him. She thought if she could just do a little more, be more like the women he actually wanted, that he would see he was "supposed" to be with her.

I am sure this was what she was trying to do. But in my opinion, you need to look at the reason she acted like that. She wasn't in love with him, she didn't want to change him because she loved him. It would be different if she was a woman sticking with a man, hoping beyond hope that somehow she could get this guy to commit because she genuinely cared for him. Jodi wanted him to come to the conclusion that SHE was the woman for him for her own selfish reasons. And that is why I could never view her actions as anything other but manipulative.

TA says Jodi's and his situation is difficult but she's moving in 2 weeks so that will take care of a few things #jodiarias #3tvarias

Bet the queen isn't happy hearing that text again lol

For me, sex makes a relationship intimate and exclusive. Others may disagree. It depends on the beliefs of the people involved.

On the other hand, stating the relationship had ended and moving 1000 miles away would, for me, end any claim to exclusivity I had on him.

I think I'm arguing with myself.:thinking:

I guess that's not how I see it. I've had sex with men I wasn't exclusive with or planned on ever being exclusive with. Sex can be about fun to some people who aren't in a relationship.

TA didn't have a wife. And I am not sure that he and Jodi were seriously dating at this time either.

JA had a plan to ensure that he never would.

She executed it.

Now it's time for another execution.

Texts from an unidentified woman in March in which they are arranging for her to come to Alexander's house at 1 a.m. to "rape" him.

I can't even imagine what was going through JA's mind when she read them...and we know she did. Well the first thing she did was attempt to move back to CA right? After moving in with him for a few days with all her stuff in a U-Haul parked outside. While he gently "encouraged" her to go back home. Is there any evidence that JA was still giving it away to TA during this time period? Did she try to go "chaste" with him so he would miss it? Or had he cut her off because he was getting a bad vibe from their "friends with benefits" arrangement?

MOO

The juror question = What does this have to do with mitigation?

(It won't be read.)

Question: I'm thinking = If these are private text messages how would that have affected Jodi since she did not know about them?

 

[grammieto5]

I think in her mind she wasn't "trapping" him. She thought if she could just do a little more, be more like the women he actually wanted, that he would see he was "supposed" to be with her.

HA! This murderer could never be like them. Never! And she knew that!

 

[memoriesbymichelle]

So Geffner says it's not important who the texts are from, only thing that's important is the content. I don't get that.

But context is also very important as are inflections which cannot be "heard" in text messages. And as far as what Geff said, I personally think he is trying to say that the fact that Travis was texting, sexting, other women at the same time he is "exclusive" with Jodi is what made her "snap" or something like that.

 

[Nosey Parker]

If these are authentic, how did Travis 'find' so many willing women in his community? Sounds like he hooked up with an 'escort' type chat group or something. All irrelevant, I know. If the jury's not brainwashed by now, JW, they never will be. Give it up!

I thought she was his dirty secret. Yet Lisa, this woman and plenty of folk seem to know or have a suspicion of what was going on.

What a chivalrous way of saying the girl who stalks me and anyone I date is moving, thank God, so you won't have to worry about your tires being slashed or her crawling through the doggy door or popping out of hiding from the closet or lurking outside the window to spy on us .

:seeya: Just thought of something when I read your post, TD!


Last night, on the Justice for Travis FB/State vs. Arias FB, the following was posted:


Penalty Hearing in a Capital Case -- Procedure

If a jury finds one or more aggravating circumstances, the penalty proceedings shall proceed as follows:

(1) The defense may make an opening statement;

(2) The state may then make an opening statement or may defer such opening statement until the close of the defense's evidence;

(3) The victim's survivors may make a statement relating to the characteristics of the victim and the impact of the crime on the victim's family, but may not offer any opinion regarding the appropriate sentence to be imposed;

(4) The defense shall offer evidence in support of mitigation;

(5) The state may then make an opening statement if it was deferred, and offer any evidence relevant to mitigation;

(6) The defense may offer evidence in rebuttal, unless the court, upon a showing of good cause, allows a case-in-chief to be reopened;

(7) The defendant may present statements of allocution to the jury;

(8) The parties may present argument, the defense having the opening and closing;

(9) The judge shall then charge the jury;

With the permission of court, the parties may agree to any other method of proceeding.


*** Number 4 above.


Maybe AZLawyer can weigh in on this

TIA !

[10] With the permission of court, the parties may agree to any other method of proceeding.


Yeah well, to me it looks like they skipped straight to #10, 'cause this certainly doesn't resemble a bona fide #4.

Thanks for following this morning.

Jodi's dad, when questioned by Flores, told EF about the time Jodi looked in Travis's window and saw him with another girl. She had called home crying, and her mother wasn't there. So she talked with her father. He told Flores something about how Jodi was going to marry Travis. Mr. Arias had never even seen a picture of Travis.

I guess that's not how I see it. I've had sex with men I wasn't exclusive with or planned on ever being exclusive with. Sex can be about fun to some people who aren't in a relationship.

You tramp. Not me, I'm pure as the driven snow. Giggle, snort, cough. I barely typed that with a straight face.
