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

[LotusPawprint]

KMouse, Wenwe have you been around for the last three hours or so?

If so I'll just search the thread for your posts, I'm curious to see what questions the jury had for Lisa.

 

[atthelake]

Whaaa? Whaaa? One juror.........oh yeah, someone approached them inappropriately. Got it......What is #2?

 

[Boodles]

Yes. Good thing he wasn't a young woman, though, or we'd all be using words like ", , Holland Tunnel, , etc. ".

...kinda like is being said about JA....just sayin'

 

[Pensfan]

Could they have been birth control pills and he was embarrassed by the relationship?

If they were BCP, he should have left them in her purse and insisted she take them every day. Image Jodi as a mom! :shiver:

 

[Curious Me]

Hoping Juan will take the boring witness Daniel, and make him new and improved.

Today had a slower pace, but the testimony of Lisa had a big impact on the jurors, IMO.

I applaud you, Lisa. Credible, nice, loving, and very truthful. Much happiness for you and your family.

I thought California court hours were short- Arizona even has us beat! Late court start times, long lunch and out of there by 4:30. Wish I had a job like that!

she's reminding me of lance ito the way she runs her courtroom. me no like.

IF TA would ever dared to call Lisa names, or threaten her, he would ruin his reputation with the Mormon single's community. He probably would not have gotten a date with any of the eligible single Mormon women. Word spreads fast, I know. I think TA had to go outside of his Mormon single group to score. JA was a convert...not a "born in the covenant" Mormon.

Neither was Travis?

OMG... I thought the same thing! I would hit the ceiling if my boyfriend's pal took it upon himself to ramble through my purse or luggage. This guy has some stuff going on with him.

What grown man does that? I wouldn't even ramble through my MOTHER's belongings without asking her permission.

My own son knows not to go into my purse, even when I tell him to grab some $. I don't go through his things, he doesn't go through mine. Common sense. The jury will be suspicious of a guy who goes through some girls backpack. Not a good defense witness, which suits me just fine. :twocents: JMO

Ok out now - gotta go get a drink- the guy I tangled with is coming near me - eegads- lemme outta here - have an event to get to now so will write my whole synopsis tomorrow for what it's worth - ill be back in the am and have an automatic in

And, through this trial I just realized that my girlfriend of two years is Mormon. Or at least, "used to be". We've talked about religion, and this was never brought up. I wonder why.

 

[polleypockets]

did katie ever say why some one thought the judge was being unconstitutional?

 

[seattlechiquita]

Thank you.

I have stayed away from this thread for a few days now because I felt my anger and blood pressure rising over all of the incessant " shaming" and critiquing of her "lady parts".

Jeebus. We have a whole generation of young girls who think they need to be ashamed of the way their bodies look, ashamed of they way they feel about desiring sex, and that weighing more than 100 lbs. is a fate worse than death. 16 year olds begging for plastic surgery because they read garbage like that.

Jodi Arias is a vile murderer. Maybe calling her ugly, saying she has cellulite, dark labia and a fat, nasty nose makes some folks feel better. IDK. It seems irrelevant to me.

And calling her a nasty because she has sex (with men who nobody has labeled "" or "") has ZERO to do with the heinous act she committed on Travis.

I have a daughter as do many of you. Someone might call her fat. Or say her hair is ugly. Or that her nose is wonky or she has cankles. Or when she is older and likes a boy and they kiss, some jealous girl might call her a .

And the posts I am reading here will certainly help to perpetuate the double standards and terrible self-esteem that so many young women battle these days. That makes me cry for not just my daughter , but for all the young girls who get to be held to this unattainable standard some people have set.

I could care less about Jodi. But I do care about what we say to one another as women and sisters when we exempt men from any wrongdoing and instead point at other women and call "".

We ought to be discussing the awful thing Jodi did to Travis. Not making up nicknames for her genitalia or " shaming" her for doing the EXACT same things in bed that the victim did!

Sorry for the OT and the rant. And I will go back to lurking.

Oh -
And MOO

I couldn't have said it better.

 

[KMouse]

omg, I was seriously waiting for him to say that he found a big industrial sized bottle of .... KY lol

How would he even know what it was?

 

[minor4th]

In theory, hearsay isn't allowed because the State and/or the defendant are unable to question the person who made the original statement. (It's a violation of the constitutional clause that says a defendant has the right to confront his accusers.)

In practice, however, there are so many exceptions to the hearsay rule that even some of my lawyer friends can't name them all without checking a law book.

The reason hearsay is not allowed as evidence is because hearsay statements are unreliable (people lie when they aren't under oath, and people make self-serving statements).

The many exceptions to hearsay are mostly based on the inherent reliability of certain types of out-of-court statements. For example, a statement made against one's own interest (e.g., Abe told me he killed Bob would likely not be said by Abe unless it were true); statements made in relation to a medical diagnosis; statements contained in certain official recorded documents; "excited utterances" --such as, "Ouch, a truck just ran over my leg"; and there are other exceptions that I'm sure no one is too interested in hearing about lol

Not that kind of escort.

Nope, still waiting to hear

 

[BritsKate]

Watch what you say. I felt that way several times during the KC trial.

Yeah, I know. I often wonder if the jury hadn't been sequestered and allowed to ask questions if the outcome may not have been different.

It's not right to assume that just becuse the trial doesn't begin until 10:30 that they're not working. Lots of other things could be happening either in relation to this trial that are not to be televised, like evidentiary hearings, or the judge could be making rulings in other cases. Just sayin'.

 

[Quester]

I think I've been in a trance, beginning with the low talker and ending with the too much trivial talker.

Please, DT, don't repeat this tomorrow.

 

[KMouse]

This witness said "pills" in the backpack and then backtracked pretty quickly. I bet those were birth control pills.

Brother - today's testimony re incidents of "abuse". How many times was his temper lost over what, weeks and months? Two? Three? If it was me they were testifying about there would be much more than that, possibly 100!:blushing: And guess what? No one is afraid of me!

How would Daniel know they were birth contol pills unless he took the time to read the packaging.

Going through a stranger's belongings is bizarre! He creeped me out.
