trial day 51: REBUTTAL; #157

[Truth Detector]

Wonder what the hold up is?

Par for the course.

While we wait, I think I'll sketch with one of Jodi's little golf pencils...

Oh wouldn't it be thrilling to hear Juan next say, "The state calls Matt McCartney"?
lease:

I vacillate on whether or not MM will or should testify. Seems like a guy who could be a loose canon. No telling what he'd say once he's on the witness stand. :moo:

The Surebuttal is a JOKE. They have NO right to have yet ANOTHER DR come in as the State did NOT bring in new evidence, they only brought in their OWN Dr. to refute what the Defense DR's diagnosed her with. Therefore the Defense has NO right to have yet another DR. come in. That is how I am looking at this anyway. I kind of think the Defense motion for Surebuttal might get denied! Let's hope! If it doesn't that is going to be another 2 weeks!

Response:
I never thought Travis was an abusive person, however that's not to say he couldn't have been. I think he chose NOT to be, and I also think his grandmother's influence has been woefully under reported in this trial. Though I discount just about everything ALV had to say about the Travis and Jodi relationship and about them as individuals, some children who witness abuse or are abused themselves grow up to be abusers, abused or both. Moreover, many of us learn to "cope" with chaos and/or think drama or chaos is normal in our relationships. Sadly, we relate to the adrenaline rush and can find healthy relationships "boring" unless or until we figure it out. I think it was that part of Travis who was drawn to Jodi and her drama. She was sexual (and he wrestled with normal male urges of guys his age) and probably unlike any woman he had ever met. Exciting at first, but doesn't take him long to figure out that he's in over his head. While I think he came to understand fairly soon that she wasn't what he was looking for in a wife, I don't think he realized just how off/dangerous she really was until it was too late.

I agree 100%. I think TA had just as much chance of being an abuser as he was to be the person he was, he chose not to be. It sounds like, from his blogs, he was really starting to look inward...who he really wanted to be, what kind of life. He probably enjoyed the excitement JA brought to the table after what seems to be a comfortable loving relationship with Deana. It didn't take him to long to remember he was missing nothing.

Buenas Tardes WS Family!:seeya: Anyone have a link to a post that can catch me up? How did the morning session go? Were there any decisions on the manslaughter charge added and Dr. Robert Watshisface added for surrebuttal? If not tis ok. I checked youtube, nothing up yet for today's morning trial so I decided to ask here =D TIA :seeya::rockon:

Oh Geez! Jodi has her glasses down on the end of her nose.

 

[usnuzuloose]

That same defense attorney said ' ALL Juan proved was that the gas can was not returned to THAT Walmart---but there are several in the area.'

Ummm...Mr Defense Attorney sir, the defendant SWORE under oath that she took it back to THAT specific Walmart. End.Of.Story. :liar:

If you are looking at the same map I see, there is only one in Salinas. They don't have a Walmart in Monterey or around. The other one on the map is in Marina, which is a heck of a drive. The reason I know this is I go there all the time. I live 3 hours, so it is our get away place.

 

[ILikeToBendPages]

just take the damn glasses off Jodi

 

[tomato]

Another sidebar after the noon recess?!

 

[Nosey Parker]

Here we go again, with Stephens and Nurmi playing the 'Mother May I?' game!

 

[beeshie]

Unless Juan asked her about their sexual relationship, I don't think Nurmi can bring it up...right? He can't cross examine her on something that has not already been addressed...I think. Now, If she should happen to mention it...it may be fair game. I don't know anything about this stuff...just guessing.

Me either, but it seems it would be beyond the scope of direct. (I am not a lawyer)
