trial day 42: the defense continues its case in chief #128

[HarvestMoon]

Being an Einstein and all, the killer probably had to leave high school, she was just too smart for her teachers.

I took my laptop to the computer store and bought a "dongle" that allows me to show my laptop screen on my old-but-big-screen tv. I plug that up, then I run a red and white audio cord from my laptop to my stereo speakers.

Now I have trial coverage with NO COMMERCIALS on my tv and Surround Sound loud enough to be heard over running water.

rock on with you bad self..:rocker:

 

[G&AMom]

I just finished posting the last of the transcripts of Jodi's interrogation videos, for them as wants them.

I really found myself endlessly fascinated by her. For example, it's really obvious that she's just playing with Detective Blaney, she really wants Det. Flores to question her. At first I thought it was just because Flores was a man, and that's true, but it's also clear that she wanted to talk to him because he was in contact with Travis' family. I think she couldn't wait to get all the details of how they were suffering. JMO

 

[garthmax]

I finally got it!! After listening again to JM and Snow White questioning, he asks if ALV if she questioned anyone else in the Fairy Tale. She said NO. Just like the Fairy Tale of JA Hope the jury figured out the subtlety.

Does this mean Nurmi is going to get his way?

The manifesto attributed to Arias was not entered into evidence Monday. The contents of it remain unclear. The Huffington Post has filed an official request with the prosecutor's office for a copy of the manifesto, but an official there said it could take some time for the request to be approved.

"In light of the prosecutor's ethical duties under ER 3.6, the State is seeking guidance from the Court on the nature and degree to which future public records requests could or should be fulfilled for the duration of the trial. Accordingly, the County Attorney's Office will cease fulfilling public records requests for materials in this case until such determination is made. While County Attorney Bill Montgomery fully respects the fundamental rights of a free press in our community, he is equally compelled to ensure a fair trial for Ms. Arias and any other defendant in similar circumstances. We'll follow up with you when we get a ruling and let you know what we’re able to release," Maricopa County Attorney's Office spokesman Jerry Cobb told HuffPost.

They will cease fulfilling public information requests????? REALLY??

 

[TotallyObsessed]

BBM~ Yes, I believe it is also.


If there was in fact 82,000 electronic exchanges between Travis and Jodi that it is alot to sift through.

The majority could just be one line text messages back and forth. I know from having my DD on my phone plan - that gal can do some texting. Most young people can. I would rather talk than text, but I have seen my bill (unlimited texting thank God) and in a month she can have 2,000

Couple random thoughts/questions I wanted to throw down here...

1. Just how much is HLN charging advertisers for commercial spots during this trial, relative to how much they would normally charge in those time slots?

2. Does anyone else find it mildly amusing how the judge will sometimes say "ooo-overruled", as if she isn't quite sure?

3. I can only imagine how hilarious it would be if Jodi remained her own lawyer. If she had though, could she still take the stand? How would she question herself?

4. I've seen Jodi's youtube page with the one video of Travis posted on 06/12/08. The account was created on May 29th, one day after the staged break-in and three days after the huge text fight. Does anyone think there is any significance to her opening the account at that time, or a coincidence?

Yes! I noticed that too!!

 

[raisincharlie]

Any guesses as to how LONG JA's manifesto is? I thought about that rambling email to Abe. Just think how wordy and windy this woman will be in what she thinks is her crowning literary achievement?!? :blushing:

I would bet the manifesto is longer than the 18 page letter she used to inflict pain on TA's Grandmum. It will make less sense than everything else she has written and it will contain zero truth. Easy bet.

RE #4 - I think she created a Youtube channel because she intended to post all the stuff she had on Travis, the recorded phone call, any video and photos she had of him, basically blackmail him.

 

[shane13]

from what her parents said, getting high, and from what Jodi has shown us, having sex....

:facepalm:
genius

Thanks.
And wasn't she allegedly growing it?
Breaking the very first rule--don't get high on your own supply.

Anagrammy, thank you thank you. Watching the computer screen hurts my eyes so much after awhile. TV screen would be so much better! I shall go in search of a dongle - love that word

 

[Tracey4AU]

Good morning, y'all! :seeya:

Today's drinking game:

Every time ALV says the word "CONTEXT", take a swig. We'll be chit-faced by noon Az time. :cheers:

 

[kaRN]

Oh me too!!! I love me some Det. Flores!!

How classy and hubalistic is he!!
I do this all day to my screen :blowkiss: but he hasn't detected me yet lol!

 

[G&AMom]

I think its weird how some televised trials turn into circuses and some don't. And then some non-televised trials turn into circuses.

Well, obviously the salacious sex talk helped. And there's the fact that it's a woman killing a man, and an attractive young woman, at that (most men seem to think she was attractive in the photos from before -- now, not so much). And the whole self-defense, DV aspect makes it personal for many. But I'm sure there's a lot more to it than that. It's like why some missing persons get so much press and some don't. I don't think there's any way to predict or totally understand why things happen.

Does anybody else think Juan is slow boiling this witness on the stand?

1st day - he reminds her of her lowly education being represented as higher than it actually is. Bound to get her blood warming.
2nd day - he calls her a lie-ah-, sorry a lie detector.

I loved the second one as he chose his words and the way he said it very carefully. He was always going to compare her to a human lie detector, but using the word lie, then his ah, then the words lie detector.
Lie-ah!

Up to a simmer now, if she did indeed catch that the way I did.

She'll be at boiling point by the time Juan finishes with her. Hoping to see her lose her temper or start ranting at that point lease:

I read it to mean for the duration of the trial (makes sense to me too as the jury is not sequestered). Could you imagine if this thing had to start all over again?

arias neighbor tells all

Thanks for the link!

I wish they would have asked the neighbor if she noticed any bandages on either of JA's hands. IIRC, it was brought out in testimony at some point that she did have a bandage or bandages on one of her hands while out to dinner in Salt Lake. It would be interesting to know if she was still wearing bandages and on which hand.

Kinda like the Frog in the Water she told us about. Problem is, she really cannot jump out even if she wanted to.

You'd think a genius would find wiping tables at Margaritaville rather tedious. LOL!

Well that depends on the table and the table cloth.
Jodi was obviously pondering the fabric of spacetime. (General relativity)

 

[katiecoolady]

It also depends on the gender of the victims. Are they male martians?

I'm sorry Mr. Martinez, I don't know the age of the Martians.
