SIDEBAR #29- Arias/Alexander forum

[Love Never Fails]

Do you think Wilmont and Nurmi will have people pounding down their doors for representation because they're just so good. Nope this maybe the high point of their careers. The rest will be spent defending child molesters and felons. They were piss poor lawyers that lost a death penalty case. They brought new meaning to<modsnip> lawyers.

They lost because they had nothing to work with. They kept her on the stand for 18 days!

Hi all. I need to vent about something so what better place than the sidebar ? I will prob post this in the depression forum too bc I did make an appointment with a therapist out here so I could talk to them about this. I haven't posted in awhile bc I have been so busy w three kids under three and we just moved 8 hours away to ohio. I am so miserable here. We are in a very nice town, family friendly, nice people, etc.. But it's not home. I am a major homebody and was completely opposed to this move. My husband took a job out here to be closer to his dad and I am sick over it. He is an only child and i think has dad issues from his childhood, i think his dad was behind pressuring him to take this job here but my husband denies it. My whole family and i am very close to and I wanted my kids to grow up where I grew up...not here. I seriously contemplate taking the kids and getting on I-80 and driving back to where I grew up every single day. Everyone says to give it a few months and I am trying. I go to the gym, have been making friends, going to start job searching as soon as the baby is 12 weeks old, but i just don't see myself staying here. My husband basically gave me no choice and we moved 2 weeks after my son was born. I just want to go home . Has anyone else ever experienced this? I told myself if i don't feel better in a year I'm taking the kids back home with or without my husband. I told him we could move out here to try it but that if i don't like it we are moving back and he agreed to this. Am I completely insane? He's a cop it's not like we moved here for some huge pay raise or a transfer or better work opportunity. It was a lateral employment move. I'm just so angry and i really don't feel in my heart that this move was a good idea. I did it for my kids and to keep the family together. Ugh i feel bad complaining but I need to vent

Could be the "Baby Blues" or postpartum depression.

As far as "keeping the family together", ask anyone who's parents have divorced after the kids turned 18 or left home........most will say it was NOT good. Been there, done that.

What's really undeniable, is that if this trial had actually BEEN tried in the media, CMJA would already BE on death row.
The argument that it hurt the defense is total BS. The live coverage did nothing but prevent some not so savory witnesses to show their faces, and a few "experts" to get knocked off their pedestals...........which was a "good thing".

That being said, I think there should be a criteria in which networks can categorize their programs: NG, JVM, and their ilk shouldn't EVER be considered "responsible journalism" or MSM. It's "ENTERTAINMENT", it's NOT "reality", it's not "truth", it's a highly opinionated, not entirely accurate, ratings grabber. They're like "infomercials" and should have a disclaimer at the bottom of their programs.
How many times, throughout the CMJA trail, did HLN "anchors" misrepresent what was said on the stand just minutes after it was said? And this "HLN after Dark"......talk about some lame hosts, jurors and re-enactments. I watched 2 of them, the shelf in the closet and the "how did she kill Travis"..........common sense went out the window.
Irresponsible reporting. CMJA was not a "beauty", she was an unemployed, social climbing waitress. How many times could snippets of that stupid sex tape be played? Was that REALLY that pivotal in this case? Or the cheesy pics of CMJA in a t-shirt?

I really wonder if CMJA has her panties in a bunch now because there ISN'T going to be live coverage? Being the narcissist that she is, she just lost her world wide stage. You know that's got to chap her hide. Sheriff Joe's got a "No Interviews" rule on her so she just got her "face time" totally eliminated.
Yep, "What's a girl to do?"

Like everyone else that has commented to you - at least he agreed to moving back if you didn't want to live there! That's quite a GOOD start! Good Luck in your job hunt, and hope you find something you really like!

Waiting for that pony to emerge!!

Willmott's private practice will probably shrivel, so she'll have to continue working for the public defenders' office. She'll wind up being stuck with clients who are stuck with her.

Nurmi may wind up defending sex offenders, but that's already his bread and butter.
http://maricopasexcrimes.com/

Speaking of butter -- and this has nothing whatsoever to do with the trial -- every now and then I go on a brief but delightful full-fat dairy binge. I am at this very moment literally licking melting butter off the fingers of one hand while I type with the other. I toasted up a couple buttermilk biscuits left over from last night's double batch, spread butter on both, put a blob of blackberry jam on one and a drizzle of honey on the other. I'm washing down all this insanely caloric wonderfulness with a giant mug of strong, freshly ground, freshly brewed coffee, into which I poured a generous shot of actual cream. I'll go back to real life in a couple of days, if my heart holds out, but for now... life is yummy.

Jodi will never again get to eat anything this good!

(I don't mean to sound like a jerk. Lots of people don't ever have food like this and I try to help, where and how I can. I have no problem at all with the idea of Jodi eating prison food for the rest of her life. She should feel lucky to have it.)

 

[Nore]

Don't think I've ever read anything by George, but if the above is standard for him, I've been lucky. From that blog he says "What people don't realize is that few of these wounds were mortal". That's his defense? How many mortal wounds does it take in England for it to be murder, George?:thinking:

--------------
Hi LinTX
Right!! how many things does she have to slit before it's bad? People in England do not think this way.I don't know what the hello part he is from!! They do not know much about a trial til it is over.:thinking:

OK T, first - OMG, my mouth is watering for biscuits with butter/blackberry or honey - yummmm . . . ok, so I will just gulp my diet pepsi and pretend to be satiated (sic?).

Nurmi's practice that focuses on defending sex offenders must present a real dilemma for him when defending JA. He knows she was a willing participant in the relationship with TA. It really takes a special ability for an Atty to represent someone with this type of allegation against them. I know that I still want really good Attys out there who are willing and able and excel in this area - god forbid someone close to me were ever to be accused of this crime! Nurmi must recognize the "holes" (so sorry for that wording) in JA's story about being forced into sexual acts by TA.

ok - I better not say anymore, I really meant for this post to be a serious one but I don't think I can pull it off at this point. carry on

Just a quick rant~~still cant believe DH hasn't been prescribed anti depressant. Totally shocked!!!!!

i am very surprised, since so many doctors are too quick to prescribe them. how is DH doing, Zoey? Are you doing OK? This must be such a drain on your energy level. I do hope you are able to get some decent rest.

I am pizzed that psychiatrist appears to only be addressing him having problems sleeping. He is doing ok ~~ there are times we are walking on eggshells around here. Afraid of "triggers". He is still in intensive therapy (thankfully he is going by himself cause I need my time ( hope that doesn't sound heartless but...)
I'm still stressed but ~~i am hoping that I will be able to run away November 18th--just crazy around here. Ohhhhhhhh his older brother told my SIL that it was to bad he didn't have a gun!!! I'm still dealing with that one! DH admires brother. Gag me!

Zoey...I am so sorry. Did they even offer it, or could your hubby have said no? Whatever and when ever, they give him meds...read it on the side effects so you know what to watch for. I hope he gets something soon.
Will continue to pray for both of you and the family and friends...with love...Lynn and BonnieBubbles who sends many slurps and tail wags.

Zoey, that doesn't sound the least bit heartless! You definitely need some alone time, sweetie. Don't ever feel bad for that. I am glad for you that he can get himself to the appointments and that he is willingly going. Still, it seems even a mild anxiety med could help with sleeplessness, but be carful if anything is offered. Read up on side effects before starting anything.

I do wish I had better words of comfort. I well understand how "walking on eggshells" makes us exhausted and tense. It is not a good feeling at all.

Your BIL deserves a good slap! I am shocked....especially if DH has such respect for his brother. How dare he repay him that way! I am so sorry, Zoey. You have enough to deal with.

:therethere:

Hi Zoey. Have been thinking about you but have.had my hands full for days now and have barely posted.

About sleeping pill. Are you familiar with Melatonin? Its over the counter, completely natural, has zero side effects, and it works!

Dosage is important. Too many mgs and it can actually prevent sleep. 3-6 mgs works best for most folks, taken an hour before bedtime.

Let me know if you'd like any more info...

Zoloft is for sleep and We&#314;lbutrin is for anxiety, or so my doctor said. Wanted me to take it when my daughter was in hospital. I said no.

 

[ILikeToBendPages]

Wellbutrin was not a drug for me. It made me angry and pissed all the time (only took it a few weeks) and aggressive. It's also used to help stop smoking.

Sertraline (Zoloft) is primarily prescribed for major depressive disorder in adult outpatients as well as obsessive&#8211;compulsive, panic, and social anxiety disorders in both adults and children. I don't think it's used for sleep, Melatonin does work, also benadryl is a common in many sleep aids. Try a little lavender in a candle before you go to bed, or I use the Febreez that has it in.

I've given him that also tried tylenol pm~~he sash prescribed trazadone but that is making him groggy. I'm leary of anti depressants only because he has so far to drive.

 

[Love Never Fails]

I have a serious question. What do we do to stay in touch when this trial is over? There are these screen names running though my thoughts daily. I wonder how y'all are, if you are well, what your thoughts are on the happenings in court, etc. and I was never on WS until the Arias trial. I hate that she gave all of us a common thread. I would much rather know that Travis is alive and we had never known the name of Jodi Arias. Too late for that. I cannot wait for Jodi to receive her sentence. But I am really going to miss everyone. Am I crazy?
