TA was not legally bound to her, nor did he have children by her. We have no idea what TA was dealing with before his death. We have no idea what she said to him in private about his family, friends, associates, etc. We do know she threatened to kill herself over TA. To end up dead from a relationship is never getting "off light" no matter what your prior circumstances were. jmo

It's hard to imagine the mental anguish he lived with daily because of Jodi. To be able to still bring light to the world and encourage others even when your own life is a nightmare... speaks volumes about Travis and his character. I think someone here previously said it best... Travis was human. He made mistakes, and he was weak. I don't think that makes any of us worthy of what Jodi did to him...in life or death. MOO

I hope the judge would not allow this sort of "evidence".

If the State does not object and the judge allows it....watch out......Bombshell tonight and it won't be defense. lol

This link is the discussion re: the defense motion to call Lisa to testify and why the prosecution did not call her.

Jodi Arias Trial Day 8 (Full) - YouTube

It begins at: 1:36:40

In case anyone missed it or is interested.

THANK YOU!!!!! That actually cleared up several questions I had as to why the State rested when/where it did!! (For those of you not wanting to watch, prosecution was basically covering their butts later should she get convicted, it'll be less grounds for appeal)

Wiping your nose AND eyes, right? lol
The whole time Jodi is being interviewed by Flores and is doing her "fake" crying, she doesn't have to wipe the whole time.
She was probably smiling when she had her head down thinking,

, "Wow, I'm good now!!!
He wanted tears, I'm giving him my best rendition."

Man alive! Mr. Knot will be home soon and I am a blubbering mess.

Thank goodness Lil Knot is at her Dad's tonight.

I wish I could give Kate and David a big hug right now.

Sorry for the OT. :blushing:

I thought I saw an interview with one of his sisters where the sister said she wanted to see the DP.

Yes she wants Jodi to get death and I hope she gets it.

imo

watching yesterday's in session.A pathologist said that the shooting first was possible. I also noticed that the defense is implying that Jodi stabbed his back as he was coming after her. Essentially she stabbed over the top of his shoulders.
If someone is coming at me I am not stabbing over the top of them. IMO it would be more likely you would go for the chest.

NG had an old babysitter of jodi on her show - IIRC jodi was around 7 babysitter was around 14, she said once jodi hit her brother w/ a bat (didn't even specify if it was wood or plastic) now NG has improved on the story that she beat her brother almost to death ....... NG! :banghead:

I dont know that I take too much stock in the guests of NG that havent been previously mentioned in court or other documents. There are a lot of people out there who want 20 minutes of fame. I'm not saying the baby sitter wasn't legit.. but like the Veronica woman.... it's nothing more than hearsay. You can't convict someone on that. IMHO

I am fascinated by the part of the interrogation video where JA talks about TA in the shower and her being crouched down in front of the bath tub "looking at and deleting pictures." She actually gets up out of her chair, crouches down on the floor and with her hands acts out what she was doing. This is when she talks about the loud ring which turned out to be a gun.

The fact that she acted this out makes me think there is much truth to this little scenario. Was she crouched down next to the tub (with the camera) with a knife/gun in her hand, waiting to jump around the wall to attack? I believe she was crouched down for some reason. It's driving me crazy.

I just can't picture her going from click click taking shower pix to hot red fury that would be required to slice someone's throat. That would take extreme adrenalin and physical strength. Which is why I waiver between a) she shot him first, then it wasn't fatal so she went bat**** crazy and started stabbing; and b) she crouched next to the tub with a knife waiting to ambush him when he stood up to walk out. But then why get him into that sitting position? It seems from the ME report, that the chest wound to the vena cava was slightly upward in trajectory. He would have to have been above her, that is standing, yes?

If she had on those track pants, maybe the knife/gun was in the leg of them, tucked in her sock and she crouched down to get them, pretending to fiddle with the camera.

There always seems to be some truth in Jodi's lies, and I think the prosecution picked up on that pretty quick.

I'm definitely curious to see what ugly things are gonna come up. I think all they have on TA is that he was a womanizer, called JA some choice names and wanted some anal sex. So what?

IMO it won't be the FACTS that upset them, but the defense spin on them.

She'd have to be PlasticMan to pull that one off!

It is strange to me that there is not much out there about JA.

It was worse with the wife of the monster who took Jaycee Dugard. Nothing.

But then again, maybe no one wants to admit to knowing a psycho and their relationship with that person.

It has to be taken with a huge "grain of salt" but I read some remarks from a girl who babysat for JA and her BF of 4 years. The one where the house went into foreclosure.

The sitter said that she never went back and that she was left with detailed instructions on exactly how much the kid could eat.

It could be that for those years, she led a rigid life and did not interact much with anyone?

Why did she drop out of school? People know things. They are not talking.

Snakes are good about slithering around unnoticed... Her taking on his life... becoming a Mormon... A snake is still a snake.. no matter how many times it sheds its skin.

I can't help but believe from what he wrote in his blog and what he told his good friends that he may have had a premonition of his impending death. That is sad to think about because he could have suffered over this long before she killed him. Children who have been physically abused by their parents often would have a sense of what was coming. He may have been sensitive to those signs because of his abusive childhood up until the time he was removed from their home.

I also can't help but think how his family is suffering. To have escaped the childhood abuse only for TA to end up dying in such a tragic death. jmo

Hopefully Juan will help the jury to see that the spin is a bunch of bologna.

I watched that interview. I did not hear that woman say that JA almost beat the brother to death, only that she hit him in the head with a baseball bat. She thought JA was 5 and the brother was 3. Not sure a 5 year-old could do much damage as they don't have the strength. jmo

I also saw it. The babysitter said the bro just had a bump on his head - no mention of going to the ER.

What is the average timeframe before DP is carried out? Something like 20 years? By then, if I'm still here, I'll be like "Who?"

I remember Ted bundy and a few others---but I get what you are saying :twocents: sometimes it seems to long. Back in the day when u got DP they didn't waste much time

At that age I don't think they could inflict any type of damage. jmo

Not the same video I saw earlier but is the same name for boyfriend who will say that Jodi had bruising on her neck allegedly from Travis

I still dont get how any jury would listen to a CELL MATE who has such a long rap sheet. I dont get that at all. But that's just me.... I watched that video and I gotta tell ya.. Every time I see Jodi touch her hair it makes me sick! Ugggghh! I want to hand cuff her hands to her chair!! lol

Just want to say.... I just watched that documentary 'A letter to Zachary', whoever posted that link... owes me a box of kleenex!

Shockingly similiar behaviour to JA though.
