trial day 40: the defense continues its case in chief #119

[shane13]

You and me both. I have chronic insomnia, but since daylights savings time it has been worse, even though I like the longer afternoons. I don't get it. I may head that way in a minute and try to :countsheep: anyway.

If doing any caffeine-consider going to zero on that.
Consider sleep apnea test=polysomnograph. They now have much available for home testing--see even Amazon.

And lastly, sorry to say, for some people looking at TV or computer screen excites areas of the brain.

See--everything is Jodi's fault.

I just re-read fFlores's investigative report and something stood out to me. In yh

The interview with RB he said the trip from Yreka to Utah had been planned for about 2weeks. Travis's text to JA where he called her a sociopath was only about a week before the murder. I have assumed that the text was the catalyst for her to decide to kill him. Now I really am starting to believe that her plans started a lot earlier than late May. After seeing her fake journal entries about being happy for Travis that he found someone (Mimi) in February I am more then convinced that that was when she decided that he would die before he married anyone but her.
I also firmly believe that on June 4, 2008 she believed that Travis and Mimi's wedding was a done deal. I don't believe she found out that Mimi told Travis that she just wanted to be friends until after she killed him. She knew that if Travis was married they would never have sex again and that was her only tie to him. She couldn't stand the thought of losing him to another woman.

I just thought of something.

Other than JA, have we heard of anyone else bringing up the marriage to Mimi subject?

This got me wondering...

Knowing what we know now (re: Travis knew she was snooping in his online social accounts and email), is it possible that Travis set JA up?

We now know that

**Mimi was only going to Cancun as a friend and made certain Travis knew
**Mimi did not feel the same about Travis, as he did about her
**JA was (allegedly) booked to go on that trip, but was removed
**JA was hacking Travis's email accounts

Did Travis set JA up? Did he make a phony email (or post, or similar) about marriage to Mimi, in order to get JA off his back?

It just seems so strange that JA would be the ONLY person he would mention this too (re: Mimi may be the ONE).

That's the one that had her home broken into and had her laptop stolen (with Arias files?), right? For her sake, I hoped she backed up her files safely. Juan would be :banghead:

It is. But she lives in a very sketch area and I'm sure whatever was on her laptop was already in the hands of her office and the pros, not to mention backed-up electronically. Just a coincidence. I'd bet on it.

I'm with ya! I don't do well with season changes myself. Lucky to get 4 hours....and I'm "trained in meditation":facepalm:

I tried to sleep earlier, but between this case and n. korea blab blab....my brain is overloaded.

Blessings to you and everyone!!!!

ETA: autocorrect inserted the word "neanderthal" into my post....weird...or maybe Willie will take us baaaaccckkkk that far....

She had about 6 weeks between the killing and her arrest. Since she didn't seem to be working she had plenty of time to remove, rewrite and revise. I know know what she wrote in but I can see her buying the exact same thing and writing a whole new journal that makes it look like she would be the last person to kill Travis. I also believe she began thinking of killing Travis for a long time and most likely at that point realized that she could use the journals to prove she didn't have a problem with him.

I agree. We cannot trust anything she wrote in any of those journals. Also, since she claimed to have TA's various passwords, she could have written herself some of the e-mails and/or revised them.

Well, get ready to laugh, but my husband keeps a journal and he's done this for at least 20 years. He writes things like, changed furnace filters, dinner at Outback, painted back bedroom. No "dear diary" stuff. He says it's to help him keep track of things. I make fun of him, and always call it his diary. He isn't amused.

I keep my notes about stuff like that on my computer nowadays. But mine is more like "stored splints for plantar faciitis in the garage top shelf. "

I would really be interested in seeing what she found when she hacked his email that made him so mad. ( May 26 text)

 

[sourgrapes]

Granted, I am not a big fan of AL, but it really bothers me to read all of the sexist comments dealing with her looks and her age.

Where are you reading these? Websleuthers have been pretty fair in this arena I mean, I've seen some joking about IBS, her testimony, her antics, but very little about her age or looks. We had a few off-color remarks in the very beginning (read: before and first day of testimony), but have been quite pc since.

Perhaps I jumped in too soon and you're actually just coming here to rant about another site?

Be careful about the shelves you stand on to grab those splints...you might just give yourself a reason to need them.

 

[mobius99]

Am I high or did Jodi testify that she also had Travis' pin # for his bank account?

 

[katiecoolady]

Yes, she's not a scientist, she's a social worker/advocate.

Or something.

There needs to be a "Lol" button as well as a thanks button!!

Dated May 18, 2008 We know Jodi was mad that Travis would not give Jodi credit in his book like he did for another gal. That had to send her into a rage, too.

[wsreader]

HLN showed diary pages of JA earlier. One thing struck me. After writing about men cheating on her and being so awful, blah, blah, blah, she wrote "I'm going to stop writing about this... I could JUST RIP OUT THE LAST FEW PAGES, but I'll refrain from doing that". It seems to me SHE is the one that tore out her own journal pages and once again she's trying to place blame on Travis for "making" her tear out pages. Wish JM could bust ALV with that quote.

 

[Truth Detector]

ALV also rewrote the entire story of JA walking in on TA's 'mastubatory event' today. Weird thing was I rewatched JA's entire cross on that topic last night and today it was retold by ALV and it was an entirely new story. She repeated today JA caught him looking at photos on his computer and also threw in a tidbit about TA borrowing money from JA that day. On cross JA stated she was at work and came over to help him put away xmas decorations but didn't know what time. She stated TA was desperate to speak to her and yet there were no calls from him. She sends TA a text that day asking if he had made the deposit, he says yes and she answers thanks so much, I'll make it worth your while or something like that. No evidence that JA had been asked or did loan TA money, that's for sure.

BBM

No, today ALV cleaned up some of that with JW.

ALV said that she had misspoken about the computer and that JA had told her that it was a paper picture of a naked little boy IIRC, (not a little boy in underwear, as JA fabricated it on cross). ALV blamed her error on an invalid assumption she made due to "young people" using computers these days. ALV had already told the jury that she doesn't "speak email."

 

[katydid23]

So Jodi wonders if Travis is going to get a gun, but he comes back with a splint for her finger?

How absurd is that? In that scenario, how would Travis even know she needed one? And why would he happen to have one lying around?

And this splint does not HELP her finger? It just remains crooked as hell?

ALV says Jodi didn't get help for it because she'd have to tell on her partner? I hope the jury remembers that Jodi lies to benefit herself. So why couldn't she lie to a doctor if she would lie to the police?

And it was so ridiculous for ALV to give her expert opinion about DV victims not getting medical help to protect their abusers. OBVIOUSLY, if Jodi had 2 black eyes and bruises around her neck, she would have a hard time explaining that to the emergency room docs. But a simple broken finger? She couldn't think up a believable excuse for that?

Love this drawing, although shes drawn too pretty for what she really looks like.

[Mrs G Norris]

I feel sick after hearing from her parents a little, and seeing a snippet of her writings (trying to catch up after a busy day so sure I've missed a lot). I'm just horrified at how 'demented' Jodi was, she is worse than I thought, it's awful. Reminds me of the day I saw the autopsy pictures for the first time, like a huge reality check on how messed up some people can be, it's sad, and it's horrific at the same time.

Question: I heard someone discussing that Jodi had grown weed on the roof at her mom's as a teen .. where did this story come from?
