trial day 45: the defense continues its case in chief #136

[ilovewings]

that last question, scary and sounds like a juror on Jodi's side- intimating that Jodi saw no other way out but killing Travis - ewwww- don't like that question one bit

 

[otto]

Is it possible for the survivor to be the perpetrator?

Great Question ... rambling answer ... sounds like she's saying no.

Don't disparage don't disparage don't disparage don't disparage..... rinse repeat.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Didn't AL just say 2 minutes ago that, in her experience, she sees the victim lash out with words or by hitting, but not with a weapon.

Now, she's got one case when the victim killed the abuser?

 

[Frigga]

This woman excuses a lot of behavior for "teenage" related. Wow!

 

[bexlex]

In light of all the prior testimony the jury has heard, ALV's very selective lens makes her comments seem unreliable. I think her answers clearly help the prosecution. She does not get what the jury has already seen and witnessed from Jodi. In that sense, I hurt for her every time she talks. Every word points out that she is out of touch with what the jury has already discovered. It discounts her testimony incredibly.

She seems to know nothing about Travis, his life, personal history.

that question is devastating!!!!

she saw NO WAY OUT!!!! TA had to go so she could get on with her pathetic little life.

 

[marciec]

Pray whoever asked that stupid question is an alternate!!!

 

[Soliloquy]

I could be senile, but I thought the testimony was that Jodi kicked her mother when her mother came to Mesa to help her pack to move back to Yreka in April, 2008, not as a teenager. Does anyone else remember?

 

[susietigger]

I would like for the jury to ask do you feel that a man being a player should be put to death?

 

[ShadyLady]

And so now Travis was evil because he was a salesman?

I think Jodi could NOT let go of Travis till she killed him...love the question.

 

[garthmax]

Okay ALV just stepped in it with JA anger as an adult not a teenager. She had no clue about the adult violance to her mother.

 

[spcagrl]

Abusive Jodi. Not as a teenager. She's lying here.

I think.....hope.....the jury knows that she did not call her sister names or kick her mother as a teenager.

 

[nerdy]

I think some of these questions may just be digging deeper into ALV's experience with any OTHER DV victims who "snapped" - not necessarily expressing sympathy for JA. Like I would want to know "ok how many times have you seen this actually happen? Prove your chops!" kinda thing.

 

[VALee]

This is ridiculous, DT had their turn, twice, now they have to approach every other question, bah...

 

[Lorelilly]

Priceless, unsupported opinion ... possibly everything Violette has said is unsupported opinion. Might her career be over at the end of this?

If there is a GOD it will be!

 

[katiedid2]

I feel so bad for the Alexander family. The brother just makes me want to run up and hug him. He tries to be so brave.

 

[gauntlet]

Remember these questions were the ones in the early days of ALV's testimony. Expect the tone to change!

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

so Jodi has PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED PEOPLE AND ANIMALS AND SHE IS NOT ABUSIVE??????????

I read somewhere that Jodi has had several violations while in jail. I don't think that she is a model prisoner. I don't know if she's had physical altercations, but it's possible.

Mischaracterizing Lisa Andrews testimony but whatever...

But the jury will remember Lisa's testimony. Surely they can see how this woman has lied, otherwise we have another Casey Anthony jury.
