The State v. Jodi Arias: break in trial until 28 January 2013 #17 *ADULT CONTENT*

[bodyfx]

I do understand the conflict Travis was having and his need to keep quiet regarding Jodi PLUS why he did not go to police. If they are like JW's, it is very frowned upon

I should clarify: it is frowned upon because the elders appoint 3 to sit in on a discression and hearing and then carry out their judgement. They feel that God's spirit moves them to make a correct judgement rather than the matter going to court and an actual judge and jury make a decision. Understand I am speaking of minor indiscressions. So he would handle them himself as quiet as possible thus not put the religion, he represented, in a bad light. I mean if it is like the religion I was raised in.

I agree that it does not matter whether Travis was gay or not. That is why I prefaced my original comment with, "Not that this matters even one tiny bit."

I just feel that Jodi is misplacing Travis as a pedofile, when really he may have just been bi-sexual.

Unfortunately, I can kind of relate to Jodi. I was in a relationship with a man that I felt was bi-sexual. I never had any proof. On the surface everything appeared normal. He would have had sex fives times a day if I could have handled it.

Like Jodi, I became hypervigilant to everything he said because I felt like he was not being honest with me. I also became very suspicious because of the gnawing feeling I had that he was hiding something from me.

Unlike Jodi, I broke up with him. It was very hard to do, but I did not want to go on living like that. I wanted to be in a relationship where I felt comfortable, not all tied up inside.

Good for you girl moving on & not obsessing!! I replied earlier, but for those who didn't see here's a clip for something to think about:

Being bi is something many men choose to hide - i know first hand from one of my besties. Don't take my word for it -go to Craig's List and look up the personals Men looking for Men -- the majority of them are married or in a relationship with a woman but looking to meet men at the gym or on their lunch hours for a quickie!! Shocking but true.

We will never know what TA may have been struggling with and it's neither here nor there as to what his sexual preferences were, but I am deeply saddened that while he is gone and can do nothing about it we all have access to his naked pictures - his private sex pics and then those pics showing the hell he went through bleeding out throughout his house. It just doesn't seen fair or right :/

I know. I've got the long drive, twice today. They'll probaby put Arias on this afternoon AND/OR play the sex tape.

Hey guys

Thanks for all your posts from yesterday and today, am going to join you all in watching the rest of the trial today

 

[HarvestMoon]

At 3 hours in actual court time per day @ best, this is going to take 4ever.

There was that one time Jodi sneaked in and watched Travis and a woman sleeping in the bean bag chairs in the loft.

Seriously? How did this come out? Did they wake up and saw her?

 

[SkiptomyLu]

Whoa - did you see this on his page?


"The lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil. But in the end she is as bitter as poison, as dangerous as a double-edged sword.

Yes!!! And his banner is a praying mantis.

:thud: Why DIDN'T YOU go on Dr. Drew?! Is the bailiff flirting back?

More importantly... is the bailiff hot????

 

[kscornfed]

Amusing but scary...I was reading of an appeal a couple of days back in which an attorney had fallen asleep.

The conviction was upheld.

texas case? because i know of a well known case here where that happened.

NG is on HLN . . . . interviewing an inmate (female) who loves NG's show and watches trials . . . she said JA defended herself and killed him before he could kill her . . . NG just laid down on an inmate bed (with her boots on the bed) . . . . then NG opened an inmate milk sniff and ate th PB off of some inmate's sandwich. Wonder who went without lunch since that just screwed up Joe Arpia's (sic?) lunch budget for the month.

Sorry - just irks me that NG feels the need to help herself to others food, bed, space . . . . I bet she would have a hissy fit if the situation were reversed and she had an inmate playing the three bears in her bed.

First, I am so sorry what you went through in not being supported when raising abuse issues. That would be an awful experience, especially when it is a church family you trust and expect to stand by you.

I can only speak for myself, but, as a Mormon, I have been proud of what Lisa wrote. She loved Travis and it must have been hard for her to love him and still maintain the sexual standards she wanted to have. Instead of giving in for what would make someone else happy, she stood by her values.

Honestly, as a Mormon, I bet that's what Travis liked about her. I bet he admired her strength. On the one hand, Jodi is throwing herself at him. And, on the other, there is someone who has self respect who says she is going to do what she wants to do, when she wants to do it. No matter what - sex, ethics, anything - that is a difficult stand to take when you really care about someone else. I am proud of her and I can see why he liked her.

I hurt for her because I can see that she saw Travis as conflicted and wanted to stay on her own path. I believe she hoped he would choose that path, too. Now that he is gone, I am sure she still cares deeply for him and is pained to read this email listing all his flaws which were important at the time in their personal relationship but seem so unimportant now that he is gone. I personally would not like my break up emails read and aired all over the world.

But, I am with the rest of you. I think she will benefit the prosecution more. She seems able to use her strength to convey all of this for what it was - a break up - and not let the defense carry her down the abuse trail.

And, just to add, in the Mormon world, touching her rearend could be simply patting her on the rump. A devout Mormon girl would be offended by that. I think the defense read that as grabbing her, but it could have been something that is relatively minor to everyone else.

Great post! I agree with all you've said.

Welcome aboard!

I'm not Mormon but I hate being patted, fondled, grabbed in public! My husband knows I can't stand inappropriate touching in public.

I like Lisa very much, her parents did a great job! She's not some subservient air headed bobble head. She had respect for herself, her faith and those she cares about.
