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

[JSR]

If you recall Ashton got yelled at more than once for making faces and laughing when Baez made comments. After the trial some of the jurors said they were put off by that.

And Baez did the same in the Courtroom and so did the defendant (they just weren't caught and weren't reprimanded for it).

They were also taken in, if you recall, by Baez saying hello to them every morning (which if I recall were against the Judge's Courtroom procedures). One juror (the foreman) even commented on how he was upset that the prosecutor didn't do the same.

Frankly if I was on a jury I wouldn't care how the manner of the extraction of the relevant testimony came I would just want to hear it. I honestly really don't care about theatrics one way or another. And I believe that's how all jurors should be as well.

There are even jury instructions read to jurors that indicate that feelings should not affect their verdict. A jury is not entitled to let any feelings of liking or disliking any of the individuals in the case (including the attorneys) affect or bias their verdict. The Pinellas 12 were wrong to do it and if this jury does it they would be just as wrong.

Maybe some of the $800 came from Uncle Gus?:moo:

If we are thinking this ^^^ the jury is probably thinking it too.

Hello everyone :wave: Did I miss anything life altering?

Nope.

Someone who knows them both (male) on one of the shows I watched yesterday said he had no doubt Jodi and Gus had had a physical relationship at one point- anyone else see this? Typing from under the dryer lol

 

[Laceybug]

if they were taking notes and noted that jodi is asking for help for someone not on her own team they easily could have jotted the name down and asked the question.

I am not worried.

As noted... she went to him for help for building a team.. NOT help from Travis or his alleged abuse. AND the Defense asked him if the turtleneck and long sleeves was appropriate for the weather. Gus answered "It was appropriate for the weather at the time" meaning she was dressed in long sleeves and turtle neck because of the weather... NOT to hide bruises. Juan might want to thank him for that one. :moo:

This is why it is good to state "per HLN" or whatever in your post, so people know where the info is coming froml

Noted! I'll do that in the future.

Folks, the transcripts from this morning are in the media thread (where you can read where CH's name did in fact come up)

Mr Nurmi,

Objection

Not a dime - JA is part of Mr. Hughes' team and Im part of pinacle.
Don't have direct access to her W-2' or know how much she is making -
No

TAlked about 2nd meeting with her - convention @ LV or Oklahoma City - 3 or 4 day meeting asked about her attire . . . . asked if people are expected todress professionally -

No

No

Slacks and turtleneck and long sleeves
Appropriate for the weather at the time.

1 juror question -
counsel approach

Has Mr.Hughes ever helped any of the agents working under you?
No
How many Diamond members, ED, and ring earners and junior members?
I know 1500 ED . . . . TA was one of those

Noon recess until 1:25

That's what I expected.



In Session is asking how the Jury knew about Hughes. He's never been mentioned during the trial that the jury sat in on. Someone must have ignored the admonition.

Off to shower so I'll fall behind again.

Bolded by me

 

[MandyLeigh]

That was riveting. The court room floor must be a lot shinier this after noon after Mr. Martinez wiped the floor with Searcy's behind in cross. :rocker:

Now if you don't mind I must prepare for my trip to that freezing cold Las Vegas. I'm packing nothing but turtle necks and jeans, I'm trying to look professional. :great:

It wouldn't surprise me if they did.
Um if you put the clothes in the dryer they will dry much quicker then if you put them under it.

Ewwwww! It's lunch time here... suddenly I have no appetite. That's just gross!

Maybe They "golfed" together and ol Gus got a one in hole... Or is it a hole in one?

Lol

I think the jury asking how many people are at each level helps show this was a pyramid! Only a few at the top making quite a bit of money and the other, not making squat. Did he say 450,000 in the "company", yet only a few at the higher levels? No longer a circle or triangle, that's a pyramid!

Jury - 1
Gus - 0

Hello everyone :wave: Did I miss anything life altering?

Only if you teach highschool Geometry! :floorlaugh:

Bolded by me

TY for the bolded quote in context about CH.
It seems like such a brief, obscure mention of CH for a juror to ask the question about him.
What do you think?

 

[KMouse]

I'm not sure if we can broadbrush 450,000 as being sleazy.

There are a lot of people that get sucked into MLM companies with good intentions. Part of the way these companies work is to make sure the underlings see all the glitz and displays of wealth etc.

To liken being invited to a PPL banquet to being invited to the white house is :banghead: but people get sucked in.

I know somebody that is at the top of a division in a MLM skin care company. I always see Facebook posts from her about $100,000 earners coming over to do motivational speaking.

So... She just met Gus .... How did it come to pass she ended up sleeping in his motor home?

Exactly!

Remember what Gus said yesterday (or Chris Hughes said he said) he had information that could blow this case wide open. It could hurt her or help her... free her or fry her. Ummm really?

Not one person on that jury is going to think it was ok nor innocent for a grown, married, much older, not very attractive balding old man, to offer to have a beautiful young woman he was 'mentoring' (who by the way wasn't even in GS underline or whatever they call it) to have her come stay at his 'motorhome' for a day, night, and a day- especially after a break up with a boyfriend.

Talk about the shark going after the kill. Rebound anyone. He looks like the dirty old man that he is, I can guarantee it.

Hmmm, interesting... meeting her in Pasadena for 10 minutes to give her a phone in between dropping off his children at school and picking them up.

Yorba Linda to Pasadena is about a 30 minute drive. So, an hour drive for a 10 minute meeting! Why didn't he just overnight her the phone, that's what most people would do.

I wonder if his wife knew about the visit Jodi made to his motorhome to spend the night, or the gift of the phone?

If this is all they got then they are screwed- which I already knew they were but this is some solid proof now.
