The State v. Jodi Arias: break in trial until 28 January 2013 #13 *ADULT CONTENT*

[LambChop]

There's this:

After those incidents, his new girlfriend received a harassing email from a "John Doe." Alexander suspected that Arias was responsible, and told friends that he suspected Arias had hacked into his Facebook account.​

And then:

"[Arias] was totally obsessed with him," Alexander’s close friend Sky Hughes told The Huffington Post. "She wouldn't let him go. Whenever he would try to sever all ties, she would threaten to kill herself ... He would tell her he didn't want anything to do with her, and she would show up at his house. We knew it was her. We didn't want it to be her, but [we] just knew it was."​

Who do you think was telling the friends these details about what was going on?

Friends have maintained that the relationship between Alexander and Arias was tumultuous, with Alexander trying to distance himself from Arias to no avail.​

Such distance that they kept sexting and having phone sex, and he even let her in and took nude photos with her, showered with her, and allegedly had sex with her?

I think she's as crazy as they come, but the entire thing doesn't wholly make sense.

I do not see where he trashed her. I see where he was trying to end a relationship with her and his friends knew it. The remarks about their alleged sex are just that and I just do not understand why people can't get past it as it has nothing to do with his death. She killed him because she could not have him not because of sex, his religion, or anything else. She wanted him and he rejected her. Something she clearly was not use to. I do not see anyone admitting he trashed her other than his final email to her to get her to stop. And, frankly, who can blame him. He tried everything else.

I hope Juan reminds the jury in his closing argument that this has nothing to do with sex other than it was a tool used by Jodi to try to control TA. It did not work, so she killed him. jmo

I personally agree, I just hope for his family and for him (assuming the mormon faith was still what he wanted to live by when he died) that he was not ex communicated. Just seems like salt in the wound.

Perhaps given the manner of his death the Church will chose not to excommunicate and consider that his repentance. I really don't know.

Does anyone know just how much $ Jodi was going to have to pay Travis back for the BMW she would never be able to drive. It really stood out to me today how much that was on her mind in the days immediately after his murder. Enough to ask the detective about it and FB Travis sister Tanisha to ask her about it. I am really beginning to wonder how much wiping that debt clean played into her plan.

You may have a point. I found it odd that during one of her conversations w/ the detective that she mentioned she wanted to get into the house to get some of the things she left behind. (Please don't make me find link)

It doesn't seem like anyone is defending JA. Some are being objective and waiting to review all the facts from both sides.

I concur. I am trying to wait for the evidence and leave emotions out of it. I do not deal in speculations or hunches (hell, I don't even like guessing what I will wear tomorrow). That does not make me a Jodi fan, or a Travis hater. It makes me, perhaps, the perfect juror :blushing:


Do I like the defendant better than I like the victim or viceversa? I don't like either of them. Both of them, in my eyes, had pretty sh1tty way of relating and treating one another. But whether I like them or not, that is not evidence.

I want the DT to present whatever case they have. They have to. Otherwise, we should just do away with the criminal justice system and lynch people.

Peace, and popcorn to y'all.

Except for when mr gus searcy walks into a room... still cant get over her smiling today. :notgood:

Dang, I missed that! :what:

 

[JusticeJunkie]

Polly,
Forgot to add that Juan was like a mad dog and a leash to Gus, and minced him up darn good. GO JUAN!!!!

 

[kscornfed]

I am so amazed at the number of people who want to give JA the benefit of the doubt. She already admitted to slaughtering him!!!!!!!

Does it matter why??? She must be locked away for good. Take a look at the many ways she killed him for crying out loud!!!!

i just keep saying the same thing to myself:

he was sitting in the shower, naked, defenseless and unarmed. a minute and a half later, he'd been butchered and shot.

that's really all i need to know.

I also think some of us on here have devoted more time to learning the facts of this case. Some have a firmer grasp on the timing and how Jodi developed her reputation all on her own before she even committed the final crime.

Jodi did say Travis would be alive today if he had never met her.

 

[oceanblueeyes]

My belief is that God would love Travis anyway. If Travis' own faith would exclude him, other faiths will welcome him, even in death!

God tells us we must abide not only by His law but the laws of the land.

I think God not only loves Travis totally but He made sure that justice would be served here on earth by making sure the camera revealed what had happened to him.

I believe in divine intervention.

Just like when Laci and Connor miraculously came back to shore over 4 months after Scott Peterson had murdered them.

This is another case of divine intervention, imo.

He gave us all free will and He was not a part of what happened to Travis but He does work miracles and intervenes at times.

 

[belimom]

I know it's asking too much to ask for a summary of today's events, so I'll ask if anything significant was divulged or did anything interesting happen? TIA!

 

[polleypockets]

ok was so what is the proseucor misconduct then?? because chris called guy and said he knew he was on defense witness list?

 

[Carol2]

Why does it matter whether they had sex or what method of sex? Is this a legitimate reason to kill someone? SHE is the one who traveled from California to Arizona to see him. She brought weapons, colored her hair, etc. IMO she knew exactly what she was going to do to him. Again, it makes no difference to me what kind of sex they had. To me it's not cause for murder.

It doesn't matter whatsoever to the murder or the trial. Not one iota. It only matters in order to make this discussion valid. It is much less so, in my opinion, if we ignore facts. Saying "I don't see any proof whatsoever that they had sex" while ignoring tons and tons of evidence that they did indeed have sex is kind of like what the Pinellas 12 did. I only responded in order to keep the whole discussion in line with what we do know.

Your point is well taken. Sex or no sex, it has no bearing on the fact that she murdered him.

 

[Anita Richman]

Was that the woman whose husband was an attorney and then she buried him in the backyard?!?!?! She tied him up and in the middle of sex stabbed him OVER 200 TIMES!!!! (Turns out my secretary went to high school school with the victim and said he was the nicest guy!! Super sad!!)

Apparently that lady had a better argument for self defense (her husband's former fiancee testified that she had suffered abuse by him, as well) and other people had witnessed bruises, etc. Plus he had so much cocaine in his system that it had not metabolized out of his body and was there when his body was exhumed.

I wish this prosecutor was going for LWOP; as it has been noted by other posters, in AZ, that is the ONLY way to ensure JA will never walk free again.

Question for a Mod: Could we have today's proceedings broken out from this conglomerate thread? I know it was short, but I think it's going to get lost in these ninety-something pages.

:seeya:

sorry guys!!! I missed today! I will start and new thread and go back and copy over court stuff to the media thread!

(did I miss anything good?!)

:waitasec:

Good question.

If the prosecution acted inappropriately or in an unfair manner, Arias could avoid criminal liability. At this point, it is unclear exactly what Nurmi is accusing Martinez of doing wrong.

Thank you for allowing me to post my ridiculousness.

Also, since I couldn't get Juan to participate in the recreation of my visual, this is the next best thing:

Okay I have a different take on today.

WHY is Chris Hughes contacting someone who is going to be a(nother) witness in the case? Did he not know that is a big no-no? And where did Skye Hughes get the info about Gus S. being a witness, and why can't she keep her mouth shut (either)?

Yes, Gus is sleazy, but the Hughes are making things worse by gossiping and trying to get info and then passing it along. Making remarks about anyone in the case (including the lawyers) to another potential witness is really stupid. Doesn't matter if their observations about Nurmi are correct or not, it was not their place to instigate contact with Gus S. And they did. And they not only instigated contact, they specifically asked about his being a witness in this case. Not okay.

So I hold the 2 of them (Chris & Skye Hughes) accountable for this cluster****. Isn't it common sense that if you believe you will be a witness in a murder trial you keep your mouth shut? And that means, say nothing to anyone? That's the only way to protect the integrity of a case. Not just when a judge tells you to, but from the beginning. You talk to the police, you talk to the district attorney or whoever is working on the case, and then you shut up about what you know or what you hear for as long as it takes for a legal case to be resolved. If it's years, like this one, then it's years. You say nothing except to the case principals and only when asked. Sheesh.
