What did you think of the cross examination of Arias? Vote and discuss here.
I thought it was awesome. No question.
I believe his closing argument will be one for the record books, too.
I thought it was brilliant! He locked her into her version where she was standing in the room and where Travis allegedly was standing (lies). He proved her to be a prolific and charming lier. He showed her changes in demeanor. He showed her obsessiveness. He showed the defense evidence of the sexual encounters to be mutual and that she was the one who was aggressive. He showed her as aggressive, spiteful, and hateful. He showed her attempts to manipulate her story to fit the forensic evidence. He showed her past problems with money, holding jobs, and relationships. He showed her trending history of spying, snooping, and confronting in relationships with men. He showed that she has a rather photographic and long lived memory that seems to fade when the it does not serve her purpose.
Oh my goodness I guess I'm in the minority here. I voted that he did a good job but sure could have left out things. At points he got into those verbal battles with Jodi and his ego got in the way. It was nonsense and had no part in the case. He had to win those arguments. He took a very long time to get to a very short distance round and round he went.
I do look forward to his summation. That should be a direct line with no wandering around to her guilt. Just moo.

Juan Martinez is a master in the courtroom. He is by far the best prosecutor I've ever seen. There's nobody more organized, passionate and prepared than Juan. Law students should have to watch this trial just to see him in action.
I thought it was great! :great:
I particularly enjoyed the parts that were brought out that showed Travis:
1. Loaned her money and tried to help her
2. Never abused her. If anything she abused him
3. Cared so much for others ie: Stopping to get a homeless person some food.
4. He was not a pedophile.
I know there are more, but those are the ones that stick out at me right now.
