trial day 37: the defense continues its case in chief #108

Enough for everyone!

Yes, this is standard defense trial fare. In every murder trial I've ever watched it was either the victim themselves or (in the case of a child who was murdered) the family who was disparaged in some way as a defense tactic. Really, it's all defense attorneys can do to try and make their murdering client less evil. IF they can make a jury hate the victim then they (think/believe) they can get their client off or at least a lesser conviction. Most of the time it fails. Most people use common sense and most juries follow the instructions and the law to decide their verdicts.

This is such a standard strategy it's not even interesting. All the vitriol and anger is wasted because no one believes this crap and it won't help the murdering monster in the end.

It's not personal. It really isn't. I know it *feels* personal, but it's just typical defense flotsam.

This testimony does matter and can sway a juror. It worked for FCA when they accused GA of molestation. The jury bought it, hook..line..and sinker. The murderer got off.

It disgusts me because there is ZERO evidence that Travis ever abused JA. Zero! He is dead and can't speak for himself. The pedophile claims were unforgivable, now we have to hear he abused the murderer, with no evidence.

These "standard" defense wh0res, are shameful to their professions. They aide in allowing very sick people walking amongst us. IMO - there should be some type of proof offered to back up these outrageous claims.

My anger comes from trashing a victim. In this case, one who can't defend himself. These types of false allegations makes the court look like a circus and sometimes it does work. I'm sick of the circus acts in the courtroom. Hopefully, it won't work in this case. Even a mistrial in this case, will have a huge impact on Travis's family. They deserve justice, they deserve peace. The offender has all the rights and it pisses some me off. You shouldn't be allowed to make things up in court..there should be some boundaries.

:moo:

I get the feeling Alyce is a bunny rabbit eating grass and Juan is the lion lurking in the tall weeds waiting to attack. You? #JodiArias

Ok her stories are getting old...old....old.

They are just running down the clock !

 

[VALee]

ALV will get a complete picture once JM fills her in...

 

[missgulfsouth]

She does that a lot -- I think it's her lower lip she sucks on and she doesn't actually have anything in her mouth. Saw that on the stand too!

MOO

Mel

What, she think she's so hot that she has to kiss herself now, too?

 

[ZsaZsa]

Would someone please explain about the 'death threats' to those of us who just got here PLEASE....TIA

We don't know any more than they all went back into chambers for ten minutes- lots of us speculating as to why- then HLN said death threats had been received against the DT..... they all came back out and we're still wondering WTH?

 

[Novice Seeker]

Do not describe how you would counsel Travis in your hypothetical mind for issues that did not exist

 

[Horace Finklestein]

Cycle of violence from 1979 lol not used much today...yeah.

 

[angela]

I was actually anxious to hear what AL had to say but this is they most boring thing I have ever heard! I don't find it interesting or relevant at all and I take domestic violence very seriously. Are we going to hear details of every case she has ever worked on?

 

[SusieD]

totally turnd the self-serving, self-promoting thing off.

Eveyone else think she's still the cat's pajamas? Sure am glad I'm not a juror
