Read a post last night that the whole point of this testimony is aimed at the old lady on the jury who will fall for the JA victim of Travis stuff. RELAX!
I am an old lady! Have kids the same age as JA and Travis...I know what goes on and I do not live under a rock! I am just as angry as the rest of you and believe that Travis was and continues to be the true victim here.
Once JM gets to cross, the old lady will realize the true story ..might have already figured it out

Might I add that 'old ladies', and I more than fall under that category (try ancient), are usually more prone to cling to the death penalty as a viable punishment than the younger generations. I think Nurmi might have problems with that old lady.

No according to the media it was Jodi herself. Her testimony had stopped short of meeting Travis. And she is now refusing to testify with anyone in the Courtroom. Apparently this time she's "shy" eyeroll ....

When/where did we hear this from?

I just have to say something while we are waiting. One oddity that still rings in my mind is why Dr. DeMarte didn't diagnose Jodi Arias as a sociopath. I mean she clearly does have Borderline traits but these Axis 2 personality disorders often overlap and clearly she has slipped far in to the sociopathic realm (to me). Borderlines often have emotions all over the place and are high drama people--Jodi is scarier because she's so flat and unaffected. People ask her to leave a party or something and she casually sits in the kitchen calmly. She's clearly busted with photos of herself at the crime scene that she created and she sits there unflinching sliding right in to the next story seamlessly. This is all sociopathic behavior (and she's truly the worst I've ever seen). Scott Peterson also had that same bland blase attitude even when sentenced. They just don't feel things like normal people.

I guess I'm just really really wanting that term to uttered out loud in that courtroom by someone because, to me, it's the elephant in the room and someone has to call it.

Travis was bang on when he called her a sociopath. At least his words were read out aloud in court. I'd love for Demarte to use that term in reference to Arias.

I read it on some tweet yesterday can't remember who it came from but it was a reporter.

 

[~Lyric~]

Reporter William Pitts, 12 news:

Does who Travis Alexander was make his murder any different?

Will it make any difference if the defense can prove that Travis Alexander was a womanizer instead of a virgin? Does that somehow make his suffering less horrific or more excusable? What if he really was abusive to women? That's not a defense, considering the first jury didn't believe it. But that's apparently the hope here ... make the victim less likable. And there's only one way to do it: go after the victim.

JA must HATE seeing two jurors from her Murder Trial in the audience. Too bad for JA!! :jail:

I don't really understand the difference between those two "paths" as so many ppl have different distinctions but I'd venture to guess she's basically all of them. Aka EVIL.

Judge Stephens is still cranking through other cases. I hope she knows she is keeping #JodiArias waiting.

Thanks for that...finally the Republic (azcentral) has a reporter on their site who has some fairness and is asking questions vs. reporting bias. And of course I had to tweet that to them. lol

Judge explains we are behind due to interpreter issues and pushes the last case off to another day. #JodiArias should be up soon.

Juan and the attorneys move to their seats. Maria is chatting with #JodiArias mother.

IMO, they're the same thing.

Me too. She has a lot of sociopathic tendencies and she exhibited them for all to see. But the cold callous planning,to be so violent begun when she stole grandpa's gun---that crossed over into psychopath. And of course on that bloody fateful night, FULL ON RAGING PSYCHO.



ETA: interesting chart showing a comparison between the terms

I think a trait that stands out and clearly a distinction between them is 'empathy' a sociopath is capable of feelings and a psychopath is not, and my belief is this killer is devoid of feelings.
