snipped for space.
I am on board with you and totally agree with your theories.
I do believe the gun shot came first. I also believe like you, she went to Mesa with an ultimatum.
I too don't understand how a 5'6" 125lb woman was able to control a 5'9" 200lb man who also, worked out! This is where I consider she might've had help at this juncture. Just not sure and I know it's not a popular theory but it's certainly possible.
We also have to acknowledge, we don't know everything. Some areas are being kept quiet so perhaps the State feels she had help too? Again, we really don't know what they know or at minimum, theorize.
I can't help but think Darryl, Matt and Gus know more than what was told. Here again, they might be in Juan's back pocket to seal-the-deal, in rebuttal?
Does anyone know whether the interrogation tapes of Matt McCartney/Flores were made public? Will they ever be or is that confidential?
I have a feeling, Juan-the-man might pull out the nail-in-the-coffin witness rebuttal with Matt. I keep reading that for immunity, he admitted to forging those pedophile letters that Arias want's us to believe were authored by Travis which was the lamest most far-fetched story she could've drummed up.
I think everything she accused Travis of....she herself was guilty of. Right down to taking it in her back-door!!! I think she pretended or even perhaps actually LIKED it but turned it all around. As long as she was offering that option, Travis probably felt it wasn't going too much against his Mormon beliefs and that was...vaginal sex. Who knows.
I think she played the innocent school girl (lollipops, pigtails and Brazilian wax) while engaging in sex with Travis. Hence the pedophile notion!
There's so much more that it literally exhausts me to think/type it all out.
