trial day 38: the defense continues its case in chief #112

[Karraster]

Personally I wonder if the bunny in the pot is going to be called as a witness next week. Actually jurors COULD have seen her. With her "positive bunny" t shirt. And would she be required to testify in costume?

The irony is I saw her in the background yesterday from her sidewalk perch....right over the left shoulder of none other than Jean Casarez. Lol

Katiecoolady thank you for being there, supporting the family and reporting back to us. I've read some of your story, as much as possible for the time I've been here. My hat's off to you. (hugs and blessings)

Can you feel her evil? Lordy, she spooks the carp out of me seein her on TV?:seeya: JA, that is, hehe, I don't get a good vib from JC though either, but consider her not that physically dangerous. Was she up to? just publicity?

 

[katiecoolady]

I think it's always been that way. Each side goes at it with their fiercest advocacy and bias, and the truth is supposed to be shaken out in the process.

I can't find the post where you posted the videos but I'm sitting here lol all over again...thank you!!!

(((((((hugs)))))))))

Don't give up. There are some really nice people out there. Maybe someone special looking for you!

It really isn't about giving up. I just realized that I was happier without that "someone special". I've always been pretty much of a loner anyway. I don't really like the idea of sharing my life with someone special. I like doing what I want, when I want, and how I want. Relationships are hard and involve a hell of a lot of compromise, neither of which I want to do. I've got my friends. Sex is easy to find if I want that (though I'm way passed my wild oats stage, so I actually don't care so much about that unless I come across someone that just happens to spark the old juices flowing). I really mostly prefer my own company. I do very "social" kind of work though now I'm moving into bartending, but that's just as social, so when I'm not working I like being alone with my pooch and my hobbies and SILENCE.

I figure when/if I get old I'd like to have a companion though not necessarily male or female, and I don't care if it's a "special someone" or not. But I HAVE to have my own personal space, and so help me if said companion DARES to hang the toilet paper the wrong way or put the toothpaste tube on the wrong side of the sink, they're OUT. Don't even get me started about if they even THINK about putting an empty ice cude tray back in the freezer!

Hiya! Yes I do feel the evil off JA...I saw most days of her on the stand....shivers.

I dunno about JC..she was kinda used as a pawn in a ridiculous argument here..she testified accurately and it was just a big ol bloviation from a Blovinator. That's my story anyway..:seeya:

I've lived my whole life not at all far from Valley Forge Park. I used to walk there a lot with my dog. Once the weather gets nice again I'll have to take my current pooch there though he prefers the smaller closer park we go to all the time with the river.

My first real boyfriend cheated on me. EVERYONE knew it but me. I didn't find out until he actually brought the girl to the house we were living in together with a couple of other roommates at the time... he didn't tell her about me either. I was sooooooo humiliated not only to find out he'd been cheating on me for months but that everyone knew it and I had to act politely to that girl. Looking back though I feel sorry for her as well since she was pretty much in the same humilitating place that I was since all the time she was seeing him she knew nothing at all about me. Once I finally found out his/our friends just couldn't wait to give me all the embarrassing dirt that was going on that I had been totally oblivious to which only served to make me feel like the world's biggest fool, and I swear they finally decided to tell me all this stuf because they were gloating over it. I also lost my whole circle of friends because they were all also his friends and they'd obviously decided to stick with him. I felt so totally betrayed not just by him but everyone I knew, and there was nothing I could do but slink away alone in total shame.

Ever since I've only ever had one serious boyfriend, and that one also cheated on me, and as soon as I found out I dumped him and he spent years stalking me. After that one, I've only ever casually dated. Both of those experiences really made me have huge trust issues with men but also made me realize I prefer my own company and that of real friends anyway.

Yeah, that kind of abuse IS abuse and it CAN effect how you deal with relationships in the future. Anymore I kind of think of men like kleenex... useful, expendable and disposable. I have a lot of male friends (much more than women friends) but I don't think I ever want to do the relationship thing again.

Just catching up with some posts. I'm so sorry to hear of your experiences, and I do understand the emotional attachment and then losing someone that we never thought we may ever be apart from.

It hurts. Yeah, it hurts real bad. But please don't give up on all men being this way. There are many good people out there that would never consider cheating on a true girlfriend. I for one am in this category and was just brought up that way. When my first true girlfriend many years ago cheated on me, i was devastated, and I have to admit, it hurts even to this day.

But I kept trying to find the right person and finally did and have been happily married for many years. And one of the great things about getting old with a partner is it gets to the point that cheating is not even an option because we are so old nobody would want either one of us now. :floorlaugh:

But seriously, there are good people out there that would stay faithful. So please dont give up. I do agree with you that you have to be very selective though and that is a good thing. Hang in there. Cheers :rocker:

 

[ElleElle]

Yes, but he also contacted Gus Searcy to get some dirt on what he was testifying.

I wish we knew who as in the car with him when Jodi called to say she killed Travis. :facepalm:

Not shady, but yes, a little defensive. Nurmi had lied to him in the past and Chris called him out on it. I think I would be a little testy as well if someone told me that my best friend was a 100% Guaranteed pedofile to get me to talk with him, and I find out later that he lied.

 

[Karraster]

I wish we could post these on the main page. Tooooo funny!

LOL Past the 2 minute mark, side bar and still he's diggin, Now if an anti-perspirant company could make an ad out of that! Man, did he ever need his "Right Guard" that day!!!:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

I understand exactly what you are saying, but I am so glad I did hook up at one point and had my 3 children. They are the joys of my life and ones I let into my space. I am so glad to have them especially since I am older. You really need someone to grow old with. Should I say I need someone to grow old with. I have my dogs but they are not my two legged children. I have my space, but I also have my support system in my boys. jmo

Michael Kiefer tweeted the following...

The importance of the email is that the Hughes advised Arias to move on from her relationship with Alexander because he is abusive to women.

As I said, it's referenced and excerpted in a motion from the defense from more than a year ago

Check my story tomorrow. The court docs are from 2011. They were e-mails from 2007 and prosecution downplayed or denied existed..


Okay, I am going to say it, I don't know him but I don't like his 'attitude.'

He might want to check the date of email. It was Jan 21, 2007. ja in her journals made it sound like everything was okie dokie...

 

[KandyKane]

(BBM) and he spent years stalking me. Yes, that "stalking " part is abuse...sounds like someone who is currently on trial in Arizona.

Do you understand the concept of there being a wide range of emotional abuse?

And actually stalking is considered a form of domestic violence and is a crime.

[Allyne Smithe]

A few posters speculate the abuse excuse may resonate with a juror or two and result in a hung jury.

I have found that the human brain is endlessly creative and a person can come up with reason after reason why their theory is valid, even when presented with roadblocks. For instance:

"Travis did not take those photos with her that day."

But the photos are date and timestamped.

"She changed the date and time on the camera."

The digital time is set at the factory. It cannot be changed by the user.

"She uploaded photos from a previous day onto TA's camera. Has anyone checked what color hair she had other times?"

But the EXIF data on the memory card shows they were taken that day on that camera.

"She put the old photos on TA's laptop and photographed them from his laptop."

But that would be evident to a forensic examiner.

"She used a tripod in TA's bedroom while he was asleep."
"Maybe she put the camera on his armoire and used the timer."

But the armoire was too far away, at the wrong position to have taken those photos.
He wasn't asleep, he's not in the first full-length photo of her on his bed. Lightened, the photo shows the full width of the bed and beyond, to the chair.

"She took them of herself in the bathroom, or on the floor next to his bed."

But the the first photo shows her on the bed, leaning up against the headboard.

"He was downstairs getting something to eat. Or he was in the bathroom."

But there's only 50 seconds between the last closeup of JA and the first shot of TA lying on the bed.

"His hand is blurry; the KY Jelly is blurry. He sees the camera and throws it off to the side."

But everything in that pic is blurry. The white part of his pillow next to the KY Jelly is just as blurry. It had to blown up from a tiny thumbnail. Those are always blurry when enlarged.

"Well he doesn't look happy." "Her braids look messed up."

And I venture to guess very few, if any, minds have been changed by the above discussion. Am I wrong?

 

[Sherazhad]

I wonder if it was one of those magazines good ole' Alyce sent that Jodi tried to send out of the jail with coded messages on?
I dislike Alyce more than Samuels, she talks in generalisations- i.e. the one with the strong family, religion is usually the abuser as they have the power. Juan will get a real expert on there in rebuttal, one I'm sure who has not sent books & magazines to jail, as poor Jodi gets bored don't you know?

 

[Tulessa]

There will be a hearing on the evidence in this case tuesday. Interesting..........

There was an article earlier tonight that was posted that did say there would be another IS employee that will testify. let me see if I can find it.

http://news.yahoo.com/allegations-misconduct-sidetrack-arias-trial-231253785.html

there were a few things that stuck out to me in that article:

Another In Session employee is set to be questioned by the judge when the trial resumes Tuesday.

Within an hour of testimony ending Thursday, the juror who has been seen in the past outside the courthouse after trial sat eating ice cream on a bench near a group of spectators who were waiting for the prosecutor.

just want to say thank you to Nurse and all mods bc i know newbies like me are a handful and you have made it seemless, it's hard to stick to the TOS at first, we keep forgetting , and you are so friendly and kind about it that we all want to behave for you and keep coming back. Mods rock imo :rocker: ok off to bed now for me :seeya:

Only in the face shot, sitting down, I do see disbelief/shock. I think in that moment he knew something was up. And that was Jodie's fav picture. MOO.

I think the only IS employee left is Beth since Jean already testified. I find that most attorneys who deal in high profile cases end up with big heads. To put them in the same category as rock stars is a joke.

i know, i know, and i totally disagree, i see it as just retroactive projection, you wouldn't be saying that if you didn't know he was killed.

but it's futile to argue it, so peace to you.
