The State v. Jodi Arias: break in trial until 28 January 2013 #15 *ADULT CONTENT*

[LaneGirl]

what the h_ll to the jury care about how many people are in that company? i do not get why the question was asked. worthless babble. sad.

GS didn't help anyone else out but he did help JA whom he met only a couple of times. Jury maybe wondering about that?

I wouldn't think $100,000 annual income is a lot of money if living in California!

It is if you don't even have to get out of bed! I suppose he continues to invent things, teach his dogs to frisbee catch, magic tricks at kids party's

One hour ago we were on pg 3 . . . . . . now pg 26! Wow!

There is a lot that can be said of Gus. :angel:

 

[Pensfan]

If anything, I'm left wondering why she stayed at his place and why he gave her a phone....how much of an impact did his help have on her ppl performance?

Did Jodi get any promotions after going to Gus' house for his "help:?

There's one person who gets to seek justice for Travis after all these years, all the legal delays, all of the investigation and work, all of JA's lies and manipulation and tactics, all of the pain and torture Travis' family has been through.
That's Juan.
He knows the facts of this case and the tactics and excuses the defense and their witnesses/experts and attempting to sell. He knows he (likely) gets ONE shot. It's him alone on this case, no co-counsel. He is clearly an experienced, accomplished professional who doesn't use notes, knows the law inside and out, has a gameplan for each witness and the trial, and I trust he knows how to win and how to handle a jury.

As someone said yesterday- this isn't his first rodeo. Respectfully, while some might feel put off by him, the jurors will be advised and reminded that personal feelings towards the attorneys cannot factor into their verdict or deliberation. Juan knows what he's doing. He has proven the charges above and beyond IMO and will rebutt the defense case successfully IMO and if someone feels uncomfortable because of Juan that may not affect ones verdict.

This is a little troubling -- the jury asked if Mr Hughes was one of Gus' earners or however you put it. How does the jury know anything at all about Mr Hughes? He has not been a witness and the jury is supposed to have not been exposed to any media about the case.

I asked the same thing earlier. Does anyone know if Hughes was ever brought up in this trial?

Also, if Searcy is such a super star earner...why the mobile home?

Is it a travel trailer, or is that his only home?

Not necessarily!! Some jurors have been spotted rolling their eyes - probably bc they can feel his frustration!! Maybe they recognize Juan wants to cut through this pointles bull***** and get justice! After-all, if JA didn't put everyone through the damn ringer with all of her stories of what happened & just owned up to it, no-one would be here now dealing with this!!

Until you've been to trial yourself, let alone sat up there at the table with your client(s) and attorney(s) and gone through all the motions you may want to remember you may not know what works best... I'm not an "expert" but believe me, some jurors appreciate Juan's technique.

Well, others here agree with me. And the experts on HLN agree with me.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[Laceybug]

he is speaking for Travis Alexander.

Whatever it takes.

Amen! If it were MY child or brother I would want a bull dog NOT a lizard in the courtroom fighting for them!!

Someone else mentioned this a page or so back. I'm not up to speed at all with this case - could anyone who is, answer this please?

 

[oceanblueeyes]

And mind you the testimony we JUST heard is the result of a prosecutor misconduct hearing. Remember him telling Hughes he has "information that could either hurt her or set her free?" Right ....

:floorlaugh: Well I think Juan could have lived forever without knowing that stupid information.

So he was going to commit prosecutorial misconduct and a possibility of being disbarred for this fruit loop? Baaaaaaaaaaawhaaaaaaaaaaaa I am amazed how desperate the defense is.

IMO

I'm not sure yet exactly how I feel about it. But I'm thinking that Juan wanted discredit the guy to the jury by showing them he IS the type of guy to not only participate in a slimy business and but to be proud of it. Those kinds of shady characters are not as trustworthy. By doing that, Juan is showing the jury that you won't be able to believe other testimony that comes out of his mouth. Juan is saying, "He's that kind of guy".

don't forget that Travis was also in that business. So I don't think it benefited them at all to harp on it.

I got the sense that he owns a spiffy large, long, and wide motor home, IN ADDITION to his bricks and mortar home. Sounded to me like he traveled between Las Vegas and OK to those PPL gatherings in his large, long, and wide motor home.

I don't think his motorhome (large, long, and wide) is his primary residence.

Oh I dont think that means that the jury will be turned off David. A lot of people like to see a liar exposed.

I have had very hard hitting prosecutors on cases where I was a juror. It never entered into the verdict in fact I admired them when they exposed things. In fact the Judge will tell the jury not to hold it against either lawyer if they disaprove of their behavior. This verdict will be based upon the overwhelming amount of evidence entered.

IMO

Exactly! Agreed!

off topic but some of those rigs can cost $300G and up...

 

[thefragile7393]

Yes but sadly its not about what you like. Its about how it comes off to the jury. If the defense were doing the same thing people would be complaining. Its not professional IMHO. If a DA can't get his point across with comming off as a <redacted> than he or she needs to find a new line of work.

we don't know how the jury will or will not react. If someone is going to be all unhappy about a lawyer's style and ignore the facts then please don't ever serve on a jury. Juries need people who can cut through emotions and focus on content, not style. No one is here for a popularity contest-it is a DP trial. Ideally all gloves should be off but defense hasn't even put theirs on.

It was actually a motor home, not a mobile home.

 

[lonetraveler]

Wonder if the IRS is listening in. Legendary parties? Interesting. Gus is losing it.

Yep, makes you think that Jodi came knocking and the motorhome was rocking.

 

[m00c0w]

Looks like a juror might get booted.
