trial day 50: REBUTTAL; #151

Because it's not hurting him. Never interrupt your adversary when they are shooting themselves in the foot.

Absolutely.

 

[GoAskAllie]

this is insane, why is the Judge allowing this and why isn't JM objecting much?

Because it gives him even more ammo to work with during re-direct.

If JW thinks that repeatedly using phrases like 'she had to kill him"...and "she had to shoot him" is going to endear her to the jury, she better think again. In her Opening Statement she had the audacity to say JA "was FORCED to kill Travis Alexander". I wonder is she (JW) even realizes what she is saying, or how she would feel if it was Her brother who was brutally murdered by this evil client of hers! She knows there was no self-defense or battered woman. How does she sleep at night???

I may be wrong but I believe she dreams of big freakin stacks of dollar bills! :moo::moo::moo:

Ok, so I have been trying to come up with a logical reason behind the defense team's strategy here. I think they are dragging this out just to give Jodi a few extra months to live. Think about it.

And thanks to Wilmott we all now know about Ester Hichs.

As someone who had a year and a half relationship with a bona fide Borderline Personality (forensically diagnosed after the fact by a therapist) I will share this little bit of relationship goodness.

Like a proper borderline I existed in two states: Hero and Villian. When I was a villian, which could happen at a moments notice, I became responsible for all her troubles, even ones that predated me. In this state she was incredibly vindictive. Remember, I didn't know she was BPD at the time and, confirmation bias aside, her behavior only makes sense within the frameword of BPD. Anyway, when she was feeling particularly slighted she would expend all necessary energy to provoke me. There was a learning curve to learning not to be suckered in by this, which was hard because she, in keeping with her diagnosis, knew what buttons to press.

One thing I refuse to do in a relationship is have "relationship critical" conversations via text message. She's one of the reasons for that. Eventually some of my exasperated texts came to a person of authority who, to their credit, recognized she was nuts. Part of their questioning what a terrible, horrible person I was was recognition that my "abusive" texts existed in isolation. She never provided the texts leading up to them, which is a great big red flag.

If you want to know how the story ends, I eventually became afraid of her vindictiveness and her knack for revenge by proxy and, after some false starts in the "I will just be your supportive acquaintance" department, I completely and utterly cut off all contact with her.

That Wilmott is attempting to make a case that Travis was abusive, even if he used "unhealthy" language, by isolating his text that were reactions to Jodi's Borderline behavior, intrusiveness, vindictiveness and just plain crazy shows what a sac de scum Wilmott is.

Seriously, it makes you want to hand a date the MMPI and have her fill it out before the salad comes.

Gee--sounds like you dated my mom!:floorlaugh: My wonderful mother would bait me, insult me, be rude to me until I exploded with profanity, then she would cower and act like I was beating her with a baseball bat. Just for fun. I never knew which woman I'd be meeting--the happy, magnanimous, fun loving lady or the witch. She provokes my little brother much the same way. Their particular abuse is so evil because it makes the victims look crazy, abusive and cruel--when it is actually the BPD's who are the bad guys.

I had to cut off all contact 5 years ago when she started to manipulate my small children--sorry mother--you may not torment and abuse my children. And I just ran out of energy having 3 small kids and having to deal with my mother's constant need for attention.

I have only recently begun to be able to think about my mother without feeling overwhelming rage--that is a hallmark of victims of these people. They always look innocent and sane while the victims are perceived as "abusers." Travis' reaction to JA's abusive manipulations was not over the top to me--I've been in his shoes.

My mother NEVER respected any boundaries I tried to set. Being intruded on and disregarded and run over by these people is crazy-making. They lie, they manipulate and they are always looking to cause a reaction in the people around them just to alleive their emptiness.

Wow--sorry for the novel!

What a thing to say, JW, "....after she had to kill Mr. Alexander. Wow, JW, scoring points with the jury, I'm sure.

Kindly disagree! I think the jury can see thru the DT desperation to force witnesses to testify to their satisfaction! By. Keeping the experts on forever! Question overkill.

i think jw is getting more and more frustrated because dd is no pushover. dd stands firm in her knowledge and jw can't shake her. :moo:

I'm worried that JW won't stop until she feels she "won". We could be here until the 12th of Never. :banghead:

What a thing to say, JW, "....after she had to kill Mr. Alexander. Wow, JW, scoring points with the jury, I'm sure.

I had the frustrating experience of spending an hour on a rowing machine trying to listen to the live feed, which started and stopped, giving me 10 seconds of dialogue and 30 seconds of nothing. I caught bits and pieces, including Wilmott asking Dr. DeMarte "So, are you saying when Travis Alexander came out of the shower and attacked..."

Really, Wilmott?

"So you don't think someone would see blood on their hands and think something bad happened...?"

Seriously, Wilmott?

"So are you saying that..." and says something almost entirely unlike what DeMarte said except, maybe, it's in English.

Hey why not "I know you are but what am I?" Wilmott.

 

[snowshuze]

You know what is going to be REALLY SAD.... the DT's closing arguments. I shake at the mere thought of what kind of doo doo they will try to use to convince this jury JA HAD to KILL and SLAUGHTER Travis.

I know that closing argument is going to be grueling and sickening for all of us and for his family. We will be needing to wrap our arms around each other and hang tight as not to lose our minds, on those (what I believe will be excrutiating Closing Arguments.)

I am happy in the fact that their Closing Arguments will be the last time we ever have to hear the DTs voices again.

God help us all.

The good news is that closing arguments will have a time limit.

감사합니다 친구!

You are welcome

Now that it is lunch maybe the thread has slowed enough that someone might be able to answer a question:

I read earlier that DT put in ANOTHER motion for mistrial this morning. I couldn't tell if they really did or the person was joking. Does anyone know?
TIA

PS Dr D is AWESOME!

No, DT didn't file another motion for mistrial. http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/CivilCourtCases/caseInfo.asp?casenumber=CR2008-031021

I'm sure she sleeps just fine after cashing her paycheck and going shopping for all those expensive clothes she wears!!!:moo:

 

[VictimsSide]

Is it Groundhogs Day and nobody told me??????

 

[prima.facie]

I have a strong suspicion that JA is so vengeful, she is causing a lot of the delays purposely. In her mind it's getting even with the tax payers costing AZ more money every time she and the DT pulls a stunt as we've seen. She is so delighting in getting even, as the same attitude with killing TA. She makes people miserable and makes them pay. :woohoo:

I don't think she has even entertained the idea of tax payers and them paying for all of this.

I think she 1. loves being out of jail (who wouldn't) 2. loves the attention 3. loves that she is on TV being seen around the world 3. loves that she can sit around drawing and writing w/out interruption of whats going on in court 4. loves the attention and 5. loves the attention.

If in fact she is doing whatever possible to drag this out, I believe that is why. Once she is sentenced she is behind bars and a horrible daily prison routine and knows she will be forgotten about....

As in 'JW' is just a total train wreck today, bless her heart!

But JW is a train that doesn't know when to apply the breaks. So, she keeps derailing herself over and over and over.
