The CNN livestream for the Jodi Arias trial is now showing live aerial views of the landslide near Seattle. Thoughts and prayers for WS members who live in the area. Be safe.
 
:computer:
hi everybody!!! Are we ready for this?
Oh look.....little more than an hour until lunch recess :waiting:
 
We say fixin' too but no one here has the Texas drawl like in Dallas and places like that. In Dallas the "carry" people to the lake, they don't drive em.

Lol, my originally from TN grandmother always said "carry", and she didn't shop at Publix, she "traded" there. :floorlaugh:
 
Yes! And in an ideal world experts on both sides would not manipulate the truth - only present it.

In my ideal world "experts" woudl be hired and administered by the courts so they would have no idea which side they were working for. They'd be given a list of objectives & questions (with some dummy ones thrown in so as not to tip the hat on which side wanted them) and their opinions would be binding.

Attorneys to risk dis-barment if they tell their client which witness is supposed to be on their side or anything like that. So, you know, Jodi wouldn't know who to tell what lie to.

Attorneys have zero personal contact wiht the witnesses, written only.

I'd love to see how some of these case turned out if the witnesses were being paid by the court.

Just an idea/dream
 
What ALV is saying about people going along with sexual degradation, that even when consent is given it can be abusive (bc the person is only going along with it to keep the other from being angry) is true. But it was just as likely Jodi degrading Travis as the other way around.

There was never any threat to Jodi personally from Travis in terms of her going along to what he wanted to do. She clearly had an agenda. You don't live with someone for 4 years and the minute you start to have financial problems you head out the door to look in greener pastures. This is what Jodi did. Her actions were to get into another relationship that provided her with security and advancement. Has nothing to do with domestic violence. She had no problem, whatsoever, leaving Darryl and she claims he was good to her. Jodi was done with him the minute he became useless to her. There did not seem to be any working on a resolution to their problems she just put an end to her relationship with Darryl without skipping a beat and went on to her next sexual partner.

Travis having just met Jodi I do not think just burst into her bedroom at the Hughes. I believe he was invited if it ever happened. Also I can't help but think that the Hughes may have some testimony about that night and their thoughts that it never actually happened the way Jodi portrays it. jmo
 
But bs ribbons are ok for the defendant supporters ....pffft
 
Oops almost forgot....
:welcome: sll new members!!!!!
 
I call someone a sell out when they use their "expertise" to defend someone who is beyond bad, guilty, caught on camera slaughtering a human being.

I suppose someone has to do it. My guess is that their fee's are a bit (a lot) more than those experts on the side of the prosecution. Wanna bet?

They are defending the PURELY evil even if it goes against their expertise. Then to throw book titles around is just.........vile.

THAT is the difference to me.


From FrayedKnot [Brought over from last thread]Okay, this ^ is why I thought only the DT paid their experts! But I was wrong.
So what does that mean in regard to JM's experts? (Which I just found out also get paid to testify). Are y'all going to call them
$ellouts, too?

No snark, I just really want to know if they will get picked on for getting paid, too.

I have to say that I do not think any psychological expert testimony should be allowed in court UNLESS it is based on info from before the crime was committed - like if someone has documented life long psych problems.

There are simply no hard scientific standards for psych evaluations.
There is no scientifically proven method of lie detection; the accuracy of a psych eval is dependent on the honest reporting of the evaluated.
 
I'm present . . . tardy . .. not absent . . .
 
*shiver* my disrespect burns like the heat of one thousand raging fires. it's all making sense to me now.


If only she had considered the domestic violence in her own home when raising a monster, it might not have come to this.
 
I am sure this has been discussed...

But is it possible that the "thing" that made Travis so angry, to send those May 26th texts, because she taped the phone sex and was blackmailing him with it?

I mean, has it been proven that he in fact knew she was taping that call?

This is my belief as well.
 
I'm not annoyed with it. I think in this case that standard has been WELL met. And we haven't yet heard rebuttal even.

Agree, what jury member is going to find it "reasonable" a self proclaimed victim of DV stalks her abuser.
