trial day 37: the defense continues its case in chief #107

[websurfer]

Sister abuse sisters too...some that is...

 

[robc]

She keeps talking in terms of families and couples. Travis and JA were neither. I really don't see the point in this.

MOO

hopefully JM will make this perfectly clear in 2 weeks when he gets to cross this witness.

 

[TotallyObsessed]

I'll bet she listened to John Denver on the 8-track in her Pinto on the way to court.

I did!

 

[BeachGirlFromPA]

Name calling and disrespect. Of course that's justification for butchering a human being.

 

[rose222]

Holy hell. Why is it that everyone in Jodi's front row wearing blue ribbons!!!

To confuse everyone? Mock?

 

[elementary]

I actually like this lady, so far. I wonder how she was ever convinced to testify for Jodi? :waitasec:

I think it's important to listen to what she's selling, not how she's selling it.

 

[ILikeToBendPages]

So she's saying Jodi could of become "aggressive" over time because Travis was abusive? But but dr. Jodi lied to you. Grrrrrrr.

 

[cricket49]

This is a crazy question, but did Ms. Laviolette speak to Jodi or just go over the case notes?

I actually like this lady, so far. I wonder how she was ever convinced to testify for Jodi? :waitasec:

I wondered about that as well. Perhaps she was swayed by the death penalty. She seems to be compassionate enough for that to be a factor. Also JA is quite "compelling" in her stories and all what she told her fits the criteria.

 

[Sunny_In_AZ]

Seriously?

Yes I am dead serious. I can see her Aunt and everyone to the left has blue ribbons on. I can't see her mom though.

 

[Liebchenmutti]

Stalking is listed under TERRORISM--Jodi's a terrorist.

 

[Horace Finklestein]

Interesting. IMO, there's no evidence whatsoever that Jodi was ever abused. By anyone. Ever. Perhaps this expert is so entrenched in her Patriarchal Terrorism model that she no longer can discern a liar like Jodi.

Yeah she's so narrowly focused.

 

[katiecoolady]

Don't forget! This jury is watching this continuum on the heels of the first time they've heard of Jodi Arias' violence (other than the killing) against another person. Her mother. They just heard this yesterday!

 

[lil_buddy]

Look at you all up to speed and knowledgable! I'm so proud you're rocking it!

I'm here to compensate for your distaste for link-posting, Linda.

 

[commspecialist]

JA's stare is so unnerving, I think I read in a post about psychopaths that intense stares with the occasional fake smiles are very common? :|

 

[A_News_Junkie]

Exactly. And Juan Martinez will fit Jodi Arias right in to it neatly and nicely as an ABUSIVE PERSON to not only Travis, but her own mother.

Juan can easily fit JODI into the terrorism stalking continuum!!!!! Me smells a backfire!!!!!!!!! :great:

 

[Sigh Sister]

Holy hell. Why is it that everyone in Jodi's front row wearing blue ribbons!!!

Nevermind.........

 

[Horace Finklestein]

This is wildly arbitrary. "They tend to do more name calling" oh and how is that measured?

 

[KathrynL]

Just checking in. It doesn't look like I missed anything important.
My son has to check into the hospital after school for a biopsy tomorrow morning. The x-rays show that it looks like a bone tumor on his arm. I am scared to death. Wish us luck.

My cousin's daughter had a bone mass on her leg, and it was benign. I hope the same for your son. Good luck!

 

[scmom]

Character assassination. Very good, this is exactly what the DT has been doing the whole trial.
