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

[Arishia]

When you hear someone -- nice helping lady that she is -- generalize like that, just remove the word "men" and substitute "Jews" or "Blacks" for the full effect.

That's the essence of bigotry: Unwarranted generalization from a sample that may or may not be representative to a group that the bigot identifies they belong to, with a heaping great dollop of confirmation bias and selection fallacy to weed out counterexamples.

For example, you can make a great case for black people being criminal, provided you 1. Notice the black criminals 2. Ignore the non-black criminals 3. Disregard more causal categories such as poverty and, well, let's face it, racism. 4. Ignore the black people who aren't criminals.

When you assume all abusers are male, and totally ignore non-male abusers, and discount other factors such as drug use and alcohol abuse that might be more causative than gender, and then define everything in such a way to preserve your biased (perhaps anti-male) world-view, such as by refusing to define any act that is objectively abusive as abusive, provided the person committing said acts has a vagina (and define anything the penile-enabled do as abusive) , you can justify anything to yourself.

Like throwing a dead guy under the bus to help out the nice girl psychopath.

Lol, it's like a card trick. I think I love you. (No worries though, I'm old and married. You're safe.)

I vote we have Lemon Juantini's . . . sour and tart on the lips but the body is sweet for the purpose!

I just read a tweet in which someone said Willmonts voice is causing their garage door keep opening and shutting. hahaha

 

[basilcat]

NO, DON'T. RUN!!!:noooo:

::floorlaugh:
Haha!
I did too and I thought quietly to myself...
"We'll thank god for that!"
...hehehe...still chuckling

I might not even do my "control/alt/delete" trick

:floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

 

[beeshie]

and that isn't offensive to you, that she is testifying for that thing on trial??

I haven't heard her mention Jodi yet so, no.

 

[spcagrl]

It has to have some heat in it...woohoo.

Would that be a JUANTINI?????

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

We have Jodi's journal and in it she expresses her love for him repeatedly. One time right after she refers to their sexual escapade in the bathtub. Her exact words, "I love him, I really do".

My response was in answer to a question about whether or not Jodi and/or Travis said, "I love you." I replied that Jodi believed herself to be "in love, in love" with Travis but that I doubted that he reciprocated.

Reposting this from early this morning...Is this perhaps the origin of the Spidey lie?

As it has been said of JA " In every lie there is some truth" So now we have a
picture of a cute little boy in the arms of his father and his is wearing the "
Spidey briefs". So is this the one that "fluttered" from his bed that fit so well in her story? And how cruel was it to send 20 Irises to his Grandmother when
TA was 20 when his Dad died?!!

[KarmicLaw]

I guarantee some form of jalapeño juice in the Juantini

This. girl. is. on. FIYAH!!! We really should make this our post conviction celebration drink.

 

[rose222]

6 minutes left! Why not use it?!

 

[leebee52]

THank you judge.

 

[Bittiness39]

Me? I don't know anything- I'm half bombed on champagne and Hershey eggs.

:great: yes! Awesome! :rocker:

 

[DairyGirl]

Do you think anyone in the jury feels this way?

 

[prima.facie]

*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*

 

[Sulamith]

I always thought that story was odd too. He put the Cinnabon on her car? In a bag - with a pink printed out recipe? Oh, and a gift card too!

He may have bought her a Cinnabon, but I believe she glorified her story.

MOO

Might have happened. Here is a news story about how one man tried to ask a woman to a dance: http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/56057670-78/police-bomb-temple-george.html.csp

 

[sumbunny]

Lets think about this...First witness claims JA has PTSD, this one is telling DV stories of other people.

Now any normal person experiencing all that, would be in pieces as these witnesses talk about stories that resemble their experience.

I do believe JA is creating a new masterpiece for ebay to sell

 

[wenwe4]

Children growing up in abusive homes . . . in abusive families . . do these children grow up to be abusers themselves . . . we don't have everyone in our programs.
objection - sustained
a child's personality does that make a difference?
objection
court will recess . . .until 10:45 tomorrow morning because the court has a matter to take up @ 10am.

The Juan Martinez Facebook page just posted this: "The Motion for Protective Order - request by Arias against HLN Beth Karas, Paul Matadeen, and ABC Shana Drukerman, will be heard 3/27 @ 9 am in a closed hearing."

What is all that about?? Arias is taking out a protective order against Beth???[/QUOTE]

Beth is the last person in the world that an order of protection would be granted for...IMO

Why are these hearings closed? My question is somewhat rhetorical since 50% of this public trial seems to be non-public.

 

[redkatrampant]

Ok. I give. Where is my corkscrew?
