weekend discussion: discuss the trial here #139

[cubbeegirl]

I thought I saw all of the pics from the trial. I don't recall ever seeing the "jewel" pics.

I am so sorry about your mother...(((( HUGGS )))))

 

[momof7]

I had a lot going on with my moms passing and missed most of this weeks trial. Mind if I ask what "stuff" with Sam?

Hi chijojo, I am very sorry about your mom.

Others will chime in, but from what I know, ALV approached Sam as she was exiting the witness stand and said something to her. Court was over for the day and no jury was present. There has been speculation to what was said but I don't think confirmed at this time.

I believe Katie was in the courtroom and did witness it happen. Hopefully she can enlighten you more. Unfortunately, these threads move so fast that when I have to work I sometimes move through them fast myself and may have missed something in the meantime.

I've been thinking about this statement and the previous sentence:

I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND HOW EVIL I THINK YOU ARE.

I can't imagine the horror of circumstances that would have moved Travis to make such statements. Without going into detail, there have been people in my life who hurt me and I'm sure it's true for almost everyone that we may have thought these things from time to time. But to say them to someone? What would that take?

Anyone willing to admit that they've made a similar statement and the situation underlying it?

It's that series of angry statements that led me to conclude Jodi made up the story about Travis and the child photo. He would never have spoken to someone (like that) if that person had the power to destroy him.

As to why or what made him so angry? I doubt we will learn anything during the trial. It was probably ruled too prejudicial.

Ok, so I missed that there was a mistrial motion from the DT because their witness approached a family member.

I know about the incident but didn't know this. Why/How could that even be possible?

Sorry if it wasn't clear. Meant that no one knows. That it could be anything from a DT mistrial request to ALV talking to Sam and anything in between. Not a mistrial request because of the incident with Sam.

If something happened to me and my character was based solely on my Internet browsing history during this trial, I would be screwed.

Casey was a way better liar and actress. Casey could act for the jury!

The smartest thing Casey did was not take the stand. Unlike Einstein, she knew better

Thank you, but no need for condolences..I know WS'ers have the hugest (is that a word?) hearts.

Just so you know, JVM is just as capable of making your ears bleed even when she's on someone else's show.

She was on Early Start (?) this morning and she was yelling and practically lunging at my screen just as she does on her own show.

I may be wrong but didn't JA say he was angry over a picture?

In one text, Travis said a comment Jodi made about a picture (from her Facebook page?) made her look bad. Maybe you're referring to something else. Oh, there's also the photo she took of him in the shower where he's facing the camera. She said "he hates it" even though he was dead within a minute.

Thank you. As I have stated in an earlier post, the Geek Squad almost outed me one day in Best Buy when they fixed my laptop.

I can only say...I lied. Well it was not a lie, I just threw out reasonable doubt that my kid is in college and well research is research. :floorlaugh:

no, there's not, as far as i know. in reading the legal thread, it doesn't look like whatever ALV is returning for has to do with sam at all.

the DT has a mistrial motion and part of it concerns the 'intimidation' of its experts, and claims it's preventing them from giving JA the representation she's entitled to. that MIGHT be what this is about. but AZ lawyer seems to think it's something else she's pissed the judge off about and she's under subpoena to return about that. we'll find out some day, i'm sure.

Seriously. Just random google searches I do from a thought or curiosity/question that may pop in my head, not necessarily relating to a personal interest.

True...we really have no idea how Casey would have performed on the stand...and for that I am sorry ...

 

[Nosey Parker]

Did you miss when the judge stated ...very firmly ...in a dismissive manner ...that THIS matter was a priority?

She then ordered her to be present

My first husband was very abusive and controlling. I was beat up almost daily and once when I was pregnant. It was so bad I woke up the next morning all bloody and he said I hope you f’n die. I crawled out of bed and went to my dad who took me to the hospital. I had a beautiful baby girl who only lived 16 days. I went home one morning and he was asleep and the gas heater was on fire. I went to car and thought how easy it would be just to leave and I shocked myself so bad that I knew if I was thinking like that I needed to get out. I went back in and woke him up and he put out the fire. Soon after I met a wonderful man who saved me and I have been happily married to him 38 years. You DON’T go back to an abuser once you are free!!

Thank you! I forget to check that thread as often as I should. That would make sense.

Another one of those 'As the World Turns' things. It should be interesting.

Jodi said Travis was angry that she'd left a picture at his house when she moved back to Yreka. She always seemed to leave something there to give her a reason to return, like telling Flores she'd like to get a few things she'd left there. I think Jodi testified on direct that TA's late May rant was in response to her renewed efforts to give him imaginary pedo pamphlets to help him with his nonexistent problem.

I am so sorry for your loss. No one should have to live under those circumstances or lose their child. God Bless you.

O/T I am tired I now know why you have kids when your young!!!! I have just been engaging a beautiful sweet little boy (daughter's b/f little boy 7 yrs old). *shooooooo I am tired*.

I am ready for a nap. lol

My bosses at my last job both had kids quite late in life (by my standards, anyway). One of them was separated and a lot of the women he was dating were still looking to have kids. I said to the other one, would you marry someone who wanted to start all over with a baby at your age? He said yes. Go figure.
