Hi all!

My strategy in the hubby dept. was to get him hooked on the trial which he is!

He gets home from work, plants himself on the couch (snacks are involved lol).

Say's "so whats been happening with JA today?" And proceeds to watch commenting all the way. One more thing, I got him to join WS so now he can't complain! But he gave up on that a long time ago:floorlaugh:

I used the same strategy in reverse as wifey is now more obsessed than I am. LOL :floorlaugh:

screaming at Jodi is a shared occurance now. LOL

Dr. Samuels has a big gray bag that he pulls along with him that hopefully has all of his notes in order. #JodiArias

Lets hope he disinfected before dragging it in today.

I'll be happy if we don't have to hear her speak a word today. The incessant Betty Boop like tone combined with continuous giggling tests my gag reflex.

I wonder if she's purposely doing that to ingratiate herself to the jury or is legitimately oblivious. Can't decide.

:floorlaugh:Betty Boop that's exactly who she resembles good catch!

On a more serious note it seems to me the only two who know how to dress tastefully and appropriately are the judge ... Gotta love that basic black robe, very classy ... And Juan Martinez who can rock a prosecutor's wardrobe better than most I've seen. :great:

HLN is becoming such an obnoxious channel regarding this trial. I am sure at one time all the commentators whether they be attorneys, LE, etc had very successful careers. IMO, now they could all be on Jerry Springer. I think I am most disappointed with Vinnie (reminds me of a used car salesman) - "HLN after Dark" is like a REALLY bad infomercial and they are bad at best. Thank God, Mark Eiglarsh has not diminished himself a bit, in my eyes. His comments about Travis after watching his stand up routine on Dr. Drew was so touching to me~

I agree-they have turned this whole trial into a three ring circus.

 

[SunnyinMO]

Would someone please post the link to CNN (I think) to watch the trial on a nearly full screen. I thought I had saved it but can't seem to find it. TIA!!

 

[Hopeful One]

Well, my whole morning has been screwed up and I'm not prepped for court at all. I'm all discombobulated.

Shelby, are you in a fog??

 

[JusticeJunkie]

We've got the SEAL!!!

I feel your pain! Adult daughter who lives three hours away is really sick (terrible respiratory infection plus an allergic reaction to an antibiotic), I can't be close to her for fear of me getting sick, it snowed, it's cold, didn't sleep last night worrying about her, and an hour ago one of my Puggles pooped on the floor....this day had better improve! Made me think of that post yesterday about a steaming pile of 'stuff' = mistrial! :facepalm:

Bringing this over from the last thread:

I think for a lot of people the problem is rationalizing that he could have felt that way but still saw her, cared for her, or had sex with her. (Depending on your personal theory as there are many.)

It doesn't make sense. It defies all logic and sense of reason. So does abuse though and many things we like to think we'd never do, tolerate or overlook abuse victims are compelled to do, tolerate and overlook. It isn't about inherent strength, willpower, or assertiveness. That comes later for victims as they become survivors.

While still in the abuse, or just coming out of it, many of their actions or inaction are a direct result of the abuse itself.

JMO and FWIW

ETA: A really good example I often use is me screaming bloody murder to my ex-husband in public if he was going to kill me to just get on with it already. It was irrational and foolish, and something I'm not likely to do again, but at the time I was hurting, angry, confused, exhausted and absolutely drained from the threats.

I can see someone in TA's position being really torn. So many factors pushing him away from her, yet pulling him back at the same time.

TA's other girlfriend, Lisa, criticized him for wanting too many compliments. JA gave him all of this and more. Seems she quenched something his soul thirsted for: adoration and unadulterated attention.

If TA was abused as a child, I could see how being "over-loved" by someone (e.g., JA) would be difficult to walk away from. It's hard to be "mean" to someone who loves you more than anyone else ever has.

But the more you see of the bizarre extent they'll go to keep you, the more you realize that you really don't want to be loved that hard: it's not safe.

It'll be fascinating to see if JM manages to "flip the script" on the DV expert. Would love to see him somehow establish that it was TA who was harassed, manipulated, and threatened over time by JA.

I love that photo, I was born in the year of the rat... Can I steal it please?

 

[laniefi]

Nor does mine!

Mine neither...oh well he has interests I could care less about so oh well!!!

Besides, we have each other!

 

[Liebchenmutti]

Someone on the last thread asked if JA was tested for malingering. I'm kind of dumb.... What is that?

Faking an illness or condition--in her case PTSD

She is a liar, so most probably tried to appear a certain way on the tests to get the outcome she wanted

Finally got it up at azcentral too !!

Yeehaw
