I was just wondering.... is it possible that the only real problem here is that Alyce has a warped outlook on Snow White? :blushing:

More then just Snow White

:moo:

My biggest problem w the trial, as a very inexperienced court watcher, is that 2people went into a room. One came out. That's the story. But, both prosecution and defense have added so much that there's a sandstorm swirling, making it impossible to see those 2 people.

I hope on closing Mr Martinez calms the storm.

I want to know where she got the 9mm and what it really was for and how she explained attaching it to under the hood of the car.

And, um, not in the trunk where one might carry it unless you are licensed to carry a weapon. Which she is not.

That's just weird. Although I did have a friend that put food in foil and drove around with it inside the hood of the car to see if it would cook. They saw that on tv. I can't recall the outcome.

Yep, you absolutely can cook just about anything on an engine block. Short trips, hot dogs, warm up stuff; longer trips, you can cook a roast. Now, wrapping stuff properly so that you don't end up with a disaster is pretty important.

You know, the taped to the underside of the hood is genuinely odd. It would not be quickly accessible for defense, naturally, and only accessible at all if the car was stopped with the hood up. I considered a potential "assassinate the CHP guy pulling me over for Travis' murder," scenario, but discarded that immediately. My guess is she just wanted to have it hidden well enough that it couldn't be easily found if she did stop anywhere and somebody tossed the car. At any rate, it doesn't make sense -- the police obviously found it and would have if they had searched the car in any case, so I don't think she was attempting to hide it from them. Weird.

:cow:

Oh yes, that was noticeable. You might also note how she stares pleadingly at the jury when they go in or out of the courtroom. It's as if she wants to make some kind of connection.

But back to your point: Lisa is now in a good place, it seems, happily married with a very young child. She's still on maternity leave from her job. It's pathetic because Lisa has everything that Jodi probably wanted.

I admired both witnesses that were ex-girlfriends of Travis', actually.

Yes I've seen how she looks pleadingly at the jury, and from everything I've read, they don't even look in her direction. I felt bad for Lisa, cuz you could see the shock on her face when JM showed the pic of Travis' deeply cut throat (that the DT peed their pants about). And I noticed she never looked at JA throughout her testimony.

Regarding the gun taped inside the engine compartment and her not having a permit for open carry. What type of vehicle had she rented that time, if anyone knows? Perhaps it did not have a trunk and was a hatchback where the rear could be accessed behind the back seat?

Just a thought which might explain why it was in the engine.

MOO

Condensation has to do with humidity. As an HVAC mechanic its something we are concerned with, especially in indoor swimming pools where we have de -humidification units that prevent condensation from forming on the windows etc. Same thing in ice rinks...

So you're saying that he had a de-humidifier in the shower?

The easiest answer to this is that the door was open and he allowed this pictures. She played into his new body transformation ego, and he bought it. Simple.

 

[LambChop]

Whether it's hot or cold, you'll see condensation on glass. It even happens on a car during rain. It happens on drinking glasses. It happens on windows. Doesn't matter the temperature. Even if it's just the water changing states because his body temperature is causing the water to go from liquid to gas, condensation is going to happen.

I don't think it's reasonable to assume the temperature in the house, what temperature Travis liked his showers etc. If it was so hot outside, he must have had on the air conditioner. If he had on the air conditioner and it was cool, then why can't he take a warm or hot shower? I'm very confused by this assumption that he can't.

Whether he has liquid soap on the shelf doesn't matter. We didn't see him use a single bit of it in that 8 minutes. This man was not taking a normal shower. He was posing for pictures. How does Jodi get all those different angles and also be doing it from a spot where he cannot see her?

And even if you don't believe the glass will get condensation, it WILL get streaked up with water. And there is no evidence of that in these pictures.

I live in the south and when it gets hot not every homeowner keeps their home at 65 degrees. And showers are usually warm but not hot and for the record there is no steam in my bathroom when the shower is going. Also with an open door water would be all over the place and I do not see Travis doing that in his new home or on a floor Jodi said is very slippery when it's wet. The last pictures with him sitting and you can't see his face you can see that the door is open there. Either way those are not poses for the camera that Jodi claims were inspired by a Calvin Klein photo shoot. Not even close. jmo

Would you look at her? I try to avoid her gaze and I'm watching her on a screen. :what:

Jodi never does anything logical.

This is the last photo taken of him alive.
The next photo in the sequence is the photo of the ceiling.

This is the same photo taken at 5:30:30, just lightened.
Juan was removing the photo from the over heard.

You can see his legs are NOT crossed, his right foot is flat on the shower floor.

His arm is outstretched in front of him, the angle of the photo is not possible if he were taking it.

And the shower door is open as it has been the whole time.

Right some gentleman called in and made that comment that he always carries gas can with him because of the fear of getting stuck on the road with no gas in the desert.

Carrying a can of gas is a foolish thing to do. "Gasoline is more hazardous than dynamite." This is a statement in a blaster's handbook that my husband used. (He was licensed to blast inside the city limits of Phoenix for construction purposes.)

These days we have cell phones if we need help.:twocents:

 

[anagrammy]

There's been endless discussion about the "accomplice" theory, and I'm sure we'll have more. I can't see it myself, for the reason you point out here. I cannot imagine that she wouldn't simply have tossed him right under the bus as soon as she realized she was going to be charged with capital murder. Some argue that she can't do it now, because she's claimed self-defense. That's true -- but doesn't explain why she'd sit in jail all this time awaiting trial when her ticket out was simply tagging the other person and making deal for immunity for testimony. I'm not saying it would have been easy or that the "accomplice" or "accomplices" wouldn't have had good evidence preventing her from skating. It just defies logic to me that she would take a chance on a death sentence given that she has established she has no higher priority than herself and her needs.

:cow:

Because the accomplice kept the gun and her bloody clothes as insurance?

Has John come home yet? I read a post where I thought you said in 2 days but that has been a while. Think about the situation often and wondered and hoped he was i your new home with dad.

Australia!?!?

No wonder I have so many communications issues on that site.

You see, I don't speak Australian. :whoosh:

I do speak it, but only conversationally. It's a toughy.

I agree with TigerBalm, there's no reason to believe what this person puts forward via a facebook page if unsubstantiated by sources. Even if she ( I believe it's a 'she') did receive some sort of tip, until it's official, I wouldn't take it as gospel.

That said, I really do want to hear from MM. It feels like a whole other facet of this story is yet to be told.

 

[SassyMom]

LOL No!

Here are Jodi's mom and BFF yuckin' it up at the murder trial after their daughter and friend slaughter-murdered Travis Alexander.

Cued at the point:

I would think having an active cell phone in the car with you with gas can would be dangerous since the cans are vented.
