I'm confused! I thought your original post indicated that HLN was talking about an engagement ring yet showing a picture of Travis pointing to the CTR ring. If that isn't the case, then please disregard my theory involving the CTR ring and why Travis may have agreed to see Jodi. He simply could have taken it off to clean the floors. Jodi claimed he was doing that during her visit and the roommates also reported that furniture on the main level had been moved, yet not put back in place. I hate to say anything negative about these roommates, but if had been me, I would have thought it STRANGE that Travis had gone to Cancun without his cell phone, laptop, watch and ring (especially one that he always wore). How many red flags do you need?????[/QUOTE]
BBM: Which is why the testimony from DrD calling bullchit on Jodi coming out of her "fog" 4-5 hours later, seeing a little blood her hands and leaping to the conclusion "I knew I killed him."
My point is those roomies didn't see/smell strange things and leap to the conclusion that Travis was hurt much less murdered in his room. In the same way that Jodi could not have come out of her fog and said what she said. The brain does not compute that way, according to DrD.
BTW, I don't believe that DrD used the word fog ever in her testimony.
Especially important because they showed him her booking photo.. with dark hair.. he remembered her... as a blonde.Thanks! I was about to post that.
BBM - I suspect one is more likely to survive a bear attack over a tiger attack (i.e. the Champawatat tigress killed over 200 people before being driven out of Nepal). Tigers mean to kill. Bears are more inclined to react in protection.
I really think if she could kill Juan, she would. That is how psycho she is. She has put all her anger of being locked up, all that anger and hatred, into Juan. She has taken it from Travis and put it onto Juan now. You can definately see it in her tense jaw, in her expressions, and in the way she sometimes looks over at him to see when he's writing something down.
Then, on the other hand, with her "protector" Wilmott she is exactly opposite - making sweet faces, looking lovingly at her, sharing jokes with her, being her "assistant lawyer." I really feel as though she feels like Wilmott is her mom. Psycho, that's all I can say.
I don't see logically how real things attributed to JA are too prejudicial. It's like saying to a jury, we want you to determine guilt or innocence but we're going to keep you from knowing what you need to know to do so. You jurors cannot know the facts but everyone else on the planet can.
But only 5 scraggly bangs though, ok? lol
Jodi is guilty. She already admitted it. It wasn't self defense. She is a very mentally deranged person. I have believed she was guilty since hearing on the news years ago that a man was stabbed by his girlfriend 29 times, had his throat slit, and was shot in the head. I thought, OMG, how sick can this girl be? There is NO reason, no excuse to overcome that.
After all these weeks of trial, and this week of Dr. d's testimony, I am finding I have more questions than answers. And NONE of it comes from the defense team.
I keep wondering why the judge has kept so much testimony out of this trial? Why is so much prejudicial? Are they all, I mean ALL trying to get a lesser charge for Jodi?
I love, love JM. He is brilliant. But so much testimony has been left out. Why? The jurors are intelligent. But now after Dr. D, and the only diagnosis of BPD, how does a jury sentence her to death?
I too think there is a juror, maybe more than one, who has questions. Don't misunderstand, I believe 1000% she will be found guilty of premediated, first degree murder. And she will be punished for her crime.
Jodi may receive LWOP. In the end, she will have to answer to God. I would like to believe she would become repentant and remorseful and apologize to Travis' family and friends, and the people of Arizona, for the denials, the lies and the slaughter, all she has put them through.
She had owned a car, though, and the registration could still be in her wallet along with all the other forgotten stuff, like we all do (or at least I do!).
But you reminded me of one of the rather odd things JA said to Det. Flores during his interrogation of her:
Jodi: They got my driver’s license. It has a P.O. Box on it. And they got my registration from my purse, which was the purse I was using at the time, which has my parent’s address on it.
I still can't figure out why she said that part I bolded above. What other purse would she have had with her but the one she was using at the time? Maybe to explain why her registration wasn't in the purse she had when they arrested her? I find it a constant struggle to figure out why she says what she says.
Me, too.
There are many reasons why people commit crimes. Sometimes I have had empathy for (ok, Les Misérables notwithstanding, lol) a few criminals who've explained why they felt it was necessary to do XYZ. I don't agree but I get why it was done or at least understand the reasoning behind it. Again, I don't condone it.
Having said that, while I understand and accept everyone's right to a defense, there is no reason on God's green earth for sexual assault and child molestation. Sure, some are public defenders and they're assigned the cases but JW advertises on her website that she's tried and won serious felony charges that include sexual assault and child molestation.
I don't respect her and my contempt for her runneth over.
Flame away.
Too bad the defense is too inept to present a competent challenge.
This makes perfect sense. So WHY couldn't, why didn't, JM introduce this evidence early on?!!!
That is a basic symptomology of a low-functioning BPD. To them, you're either all good or all bad.....no shades of grey. Then combine it with rage and some comorbidity, and you have voila! = JA.
But here is the catch---> my prediction is that JA will turn on Wilm*tt and Nurm* and we may get to see it when the verdict is announced OR we'll read about the hateful mail she sends them, or interviews from jail where she tries to angrily ruin them.
When they lock her away, it will not be the end of us hearing about JA.
Ugh. :banghead:
Probably because he couldn't do anything more than speculate as to the contents of the May 26th phone calls. We know something set Travis off in a big way at that time, but we don't know what -- and Jodi isn't going to tell us (not that at this point we could believe her no matter what she said.) It would have been very nice to be able to present a precipitant event to the jury, but there was no solid foundation. Even were he able to prove she had stolen the ring (and absent of her own statement regarding that there is no basis for fact there), he wouldn't have been able to tie that to her trip to Mesa without some corroborating evidence (such as a text message) from Travis or JA.
:cow:
I have to keep reminding myself that jurors haven't had a discussion about the case yet. Can you imagine the day of deliberations? Bet they are busting to talk!:woohoo:
Can you give more information about how to locate this twitter conversation please? I looked up on twitter but couldn't find anything related to this case. Thank you!
ITA with everything you wrote here.
If there is anyone there who doesn't believe this is murder one after the stalking, the gas cans, the cell phone turned off, the car rental from Redding, the hair dying, the upside down license plate, the theft of the gun w/ the caliber matching the bullet taken from TA's head, the 29 stab wounds, the near decapitation, the shot to the head, the change of weapons, the defendant's hand print in a mixture of her blood and the blood of TA, the hair stuck in blood, the efforts to clean the crime scene, the photos she deleted from the camera that was thrown in the washer, the removal of the weapons from the scene, hooking up with RB after the murder....
Sending a dead man an email, a text, a phone call, sending TA's grandmother 20 irises, lying to the police and a 1000 other things, if after ALL that, a juror doesn't get it? Nothing will help.
If there is actually someone in that group who could be that unintelligent, oblivious and COMPLETELY void of ANY measure of common sense, there is no recourse on earth to obtain justice for anyone. Ever.
