I've read through as many pages as I could here - it looks like I'm not the only one picking apart JA's rendition of what happened June 4th and having it not work at all.
I wish I had the skills to create a 3D recreation that shows her movements and his (supposed) movements all to scale within the hall/rooms - and follow her account of things like "I ran down the hall" - I have a hall the same length, with a similar layout (angled door on one end) and it would take maybe a second and a half to get from being on the floor to the opposite end - especially if running for you life.
She says she is more IN the bathroom than Travis (she's by the tub, he's in the shower which is closer to the bedroom door - and out).
She drops the camera, from her crouched position (?) or waist high - how is she showing photos to Travis (who's in a running shower) while taking great care to keep the camera from getting wet(?), didn't break it, obviously - and he gets out of the shower (soaking wet and naked), lifts her up by the tub area - and slams her to the tile on the bathroom floor.
She rolls, gets up, runs down the hall (not into the closet via the door next to the shower) and can HEAR Travis running after her. That 'chase scene' would be so momentary... a running adult making maybe 2 - tops 3 - strides to reach the other end.
So she gets to the end of the hall and runs into the closet at the bedroom end - when the bedroom door leading out of the house is nearly equidistant - but a left turn instead of a right into the closet. She closes the door behind her, intending 'to run through the opposite end' (her testimony) - which would be through the door leading into the bathroom... no outlet - no door to the outside in the bathroom. And Travis is either back in the bathroom or could be in a split second. And she'd be cornered. My bet is there aren't locks on the closet doors - and she didn't say she locked the door just shut it. No lock on our walk-in closet (different layout, but similarly made home, so I don't know about locks).
She says, "As soon I got in there [the closet], I began to run" - the closet is shorter than the hall, which at it's longest measure is about 12'. Add the shelving and angled doors on either end of the closet, and you're talking about a floor area about 8-9'. How do you 'begin' running in such a small space? Oh! To get the gun on the very top shelf on the wall of the closet closest to the shower.
And then she runs out "the other door" (her testimony) - not sure which is the 'other' at this point... other than the one she went in (bedroom side) would be through the door that opens into the bathroom. Or does "the other door" mean something else? Whichever door, she ran out as he was opening the door - and the 'chase' is on again... so she turns around and points the gun at him so he'd stop. He's still completely wet and naked - apparently too full of rage to see if his camera works. (sigh).
What is Travis doing all this time? Just pacing in the hall - waiting for her? Banging on the bedroom-closet door? Or the 'other' closet door?
Nurmi says, "You told us you grabbed the gun and got OUT through the closet." "Yes." Didn't think she shot him, just that he was mad because the gun discharged "went off" accidentally. BuII. Even if this was the scenario and he was shot first during this closet-hall-closet chase scene, he was shot in the temple and she would have noticed because he would have bled profusely, I believe. Contrary to the ME's findings.
And then fade to black - no memory of stabbing Travis, dragging him, nothing.
She 'wakes up' in the desert with blood all over her hands.
No. She could not have gotten through the house (doors, run the dishwasher, washing machine, or move through the house leaving NO blood evidence (except a minute amount on the washer). I don't believe this. She had to have washed before she left the house. Period.
It just doesn't seem to work in this world and it's rules of physics, time, reason, forensics, (thanks to our firearms-knowledgeable WSers) weapon 'behaviour' and common sense to name a few.
A 3D rendition of her explanation would be awesome, I think it would really illustrate how what she said simply wouldn't work and didn't happen as she claims.
What is so unbelievable is just how many scenarios there are within this crime that are just as disjointed and not credible. Just stunning.
I'd say 'you can't make this stuff up' but actually, that's ALL that can be done with JA's set of 'facts', because you certainly can't make them fit reality on any meaningful level... not imv.
