trial day 45: the defense continues its case in chief #135

[Abe Froman]

I can't get any of the live feeding links on page 1 to work. Does anyone have a different link that I can try?

WOW!

@WildAboutTrial $10 says Alyce claims Juan is being battering her, committing psychological abuse. #wildabouttrial #jodiarias

Knew that was coming. I figured that long delay Monday was ALV complaining to the judge about his aggression being unacceptable to her and that that the judge must have told him to go through her instead of pressing ALV when her answers were not responsive.

 

[Hope4More]

@WildAboutTrial Oh boy.... is the smell of "Defense motions for another mistrial" in the air? #jodiarias #wildabouttrial

Would be amazed if the DT doesn't run with the story about witness harassment.

The crime scene/autopsy photos leave no room for possible manipulation. ALV took on this case because she believed it. She will go on believing in JA.

JMO - I am not at all sure by what you mean by ALV taking the case because she believed it. If you mean she believed there was DV - okay, I would agree. There are however many contradictions and I have no doubt this woman is smart enough to see them.

For example, within the first hour of her being on the stand she stated that her method was to talk with both persons (independently) involved because this is how she gets the best information closest to the truth. She did not do that in this case. Granted Travis was killed, however, she made zero effort to speak with friends or even past girlfriends to get the "context" or "big picture" of the man. Instead she relied on the words of Jodi and even worse some text messages, emails, and i. ms. as well as one recording. There is no possible way for her to know the actual meaning of the written words without proper context. She never got that, she did not even try to get it, and she was totally unwilling to even consider that it is possible that Jodi may well have prompted such words or escalated the words based on actions or unknown inputs outside of the written documents. She also applied differing standards when comparing Jodi's words and Travis' - how can this possibly be consistent with a search for the truth ?

Perhaps she was just bulled up - but she could never put the word "truth" in the same sentence as Jodi Arias. Yesterday when JM was asking if she believed Jodi told the truth - she could never say it. She found her credible or believeable instead. Semantics sure, but truth goes beyond credible and believable. She could not say it. Bottom line, she could not assign the word truth to Jodi but she spent hours assassinating the character of Travis Alexander, completely without proof and with very little truth. Character assassination, based on her own continuum is abuse.

I'm just a cabbage patch punk - don't know any of this fancy brain stuff, don't want to either, but what was clear to me is her entire testimony was centered on one thing only, and that certainly was not the truth. She did take an oath to do so.

This is great! Says what I always thought but couldn't verbalized for lack of education on the science. In a real life threatening situation Jodi's body could only support ONE of two reactions: fight OR flight. The fact that she has testified to doing both in short order only proves she was NOT in a life threatening situation.

Period. Short, sweet, simple.

Wish Juan would just simply present the same.

Katiecoo texted me back from court and said she has heard no such thing!

As funny as Wildabouttrial is, he is still as a journalist. Btw, I think he deleted his betting post about abuse. Too late though as it was already picked up.

ETA - Somewhat amused Nurmi and JW are apparently in salmon. WAT is the only one who posts this joke and they know he tweets about fashion. It's just another sign how much the DT are paying attention to the media.

Nurmi just walked in, black suit with a full on salmon shirt. Looks awesome! He must have got my messages to wear salmon today. #JodiArias

People have to scroll over to the right.

Not really a big deal to me but it may be more of an issue with those on portable devices.

Sorry to beat this horse but is there a recommended image size? I think from now on I will post small pics with links to larger ones

@ wild about trial...ALV is here!

 

[Karraster]

WOW Let me tell ya - going through your own past posts....... QUITE the experience!
Really opens your eyes to what you've said - sometimes in the heat of the moment. I was cringing at some of mine before I had to hit my own red triangle.
It feels very much like going to confession - or in the alternative, that moment just before death when your life flashes in front of your eyes.
You really got to give it a try. I wouldn't want you to miss the experience I just had. (And I'm not even done yet) LOL

I think we knew that would happening.
Taking it with a grain of salt.

Alyce is in court today according to Wild about trial tweet.

As an Expert Witness surely ALV could at least admit there are two sides to an argument. She will stubbornly only see things from the defendant's perspective. As the Prosecutor has said many times, her 'fall back' position is always with the defendant. That is a big factor in people's frustration with her.

Even at a very late stage she could have shown signs of impartiality and come out with an element of honour. JM has given her countless opportunities to concede that some positions could be looked at from TA's perspective, yet she won't.

On occasions she deflected questions over sex, stalking etc, saying, "I was hired to give my opinion on domestic violence. I'm not an expert on anything else." But there is overlap and it's all connected. She set herself up as an expert, and an intelligent Prosecutor poked holes in her case. What is more important, her reputation and career, or the outcome for the defendant.

The jury will effectively decide that.

I totally agree. Alv had the opportunity to interview other people in this case and chose not to. At best her assessment is incomplete, at worst it's dishonest.

And, IMO, it's 2013 and like it or not, social media with its real time transfer of information reaching far and wide is our reality. I have seen terrible things stated about the victim, his family, the prosecutor and others. Alv took this case willingly, was/is paid handsomely and unfortunately has to suffer the consequences of her decision. Additionally, she openly tries to mock a man who is doing his job to serve the people of Arizona. Others suffer through no fault or effort of their own making. I'll keep my sympathy for them only.
