Yes, I totally agree.
The way she stole her relatives .25 handgun a week before the killing of Travis is proof to me that she had this all planned out.
No question that was premeditated and very carefully planned out. "Carefully," of course, doesn't necessarily mean "well." Jodi's special mix of stupidity and psychopathy doomed her from the start. Sadly, it doomed Travis as well.
When I started to write this, I was going to mention the photo disk (disks?) she brought to give to Travis -- another sign of premeditation. Why bring the disk if she wasn't planning to go to Mesa? Of course she was planning to go to Mesa. Everything else was just scaffolding. She claims the decision to go to Mesa was last-minute, and that she went because Travis said he'd be sad otherwise. Hardly. She also claims, IIRC, that she brought the disk because Travis wanted to see the pictures. Hardly. The disk is an important part of her plan, though, because it was scratched, Travis couldn't see the pictures, he lost his temper, threw the disk at the wall, broke the disk, lost his temper some more. I forget if this led up to the "anal sex to calm him down" story or if that was another time. What I'm wondering now is if there really was a disk. Were pieces of a broken photo disk found in the office? Did Jodi make up the disk, because "I stopped by as a favor to him because he wanted the disk" sounds better than "I stopped by to murder him in cold blood?"
She can't say it was a last-minute visit if she brought the disk. She needs the disk in her story because she uses it to show (well, "show") that Travis had a volatile temper and she used "angry sex" to calm him down. (Better that then take a beating or a body slam, I think she said.)
Anyone know if the police found the disk?
