I believe she was in Yerka ---
That's what I thought. Thanks.
I believe she was in Yerka ---
Honestly folks, I'm getting very very worried. I am really afraid that the jury's going to be sympathetic and let her off. I know this is heresy but I don't think that the prosecution is laying out a logical case - he's all over the place, and he lets his disgust for her show too much. I hope to god I'm wrong.
The words they used were "not to observe" overweight people. It's in the part about controlling your weight. I believe in positive thinking, but I do not believe that bad things will happen to you because you thought them into existence. As a cancer survivor, I take issue with that book saying I brought my cancer on myself because I didn't think enough positive thoughts.
I'm reading a lot of criticism of Juan (not necessarily here, but all over the media and other blog sites) -- his pit bull sparring...he's argumentative, sarcastic, spending too much time on moot points, etc.
I don't know if this criticism is altogether valid.
I'm quite happy that he's pissy. A man's life was snuffed out and the woman that did it ADMITTED it, has lied continually, and is slandering the dead something mercilessly. If there's ever a situation where a prosecutor is allowed this behavior, it's certainly this one and I think jurors will understand his anger and passion.
HOWEVER, I do hope he starts painting a picture of how she willfully and purposely plotted his death on that faithful day (and then wrap this image up with a neat little bow). I think jurors NEED that (just look at the Anthony trial). I think they need that because juries are stupider than we give them credit for. I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but I do think a lot of people lack the skills to conclude things for themselves.
I think it was after she killed Travis. Not sure exactly when
JA was in Mesa two weeks before she killed him?
Morning peeps! Here ya go!
Hi Laces-- I agree with you on many points; it drives me bonkers when Juan keeps saying "right" after each statement or question; i thought the point of cross is to get your point across, maker her look like the lying murderer she is and move on. this constant right right right, makes me crazy; he does not need to do that; he is making his points but i think he is also losing some of his momentum by constantly having to get her to admit he is right; the whole courtroom knows she is lying; Juan, make your point and move on. I think Juan's style works most of the time; but this defendant is different and i think he should have modified his style a bit. He is obviously a great prosecutor as evidenced by his record, which is proven to be successful. This woman can't just say yes or no, it is ummmm, well not exactly or well, ummm, not yesterday, but it was the day before (and all that kind of stuff); she is a nightmare.
I disagree about Jodi though; she loves her attempts at one-upping the prosecutor. she is a sociopath IMO and she cannot bear not to look smarter than everybody else including the prosecutor. I don't think her attitude is helping her but she can't help herself. she is smug, she is confident, and she believes she is going to beat this.
:floorlaugh:
I believe in the spring when Travis told her to move to Anartica.....
So if she thinks Travis's alleged attraction to boys "sickening".
And in the next few minutes she also could not resist her sexual attraction to him.
Why doesnt Juan just ask what that says about her that she has a sick sexual attraction to pedophiles? Takes a sicko pervert to be attracted to one - right????
Its my birthday today! and I'm making a special birthday wish that JM has an outstanding day and can put this beech away today. I'm hoping that he brings up the day she killed TA and makes it clear in no uncertain terms that JA killed him 3x that day. Premeditation on the first attempt, second attempt and third attempt. NO if, ands or buts. Nothing left up to doubt. I hope I get my wish!
JM's "trying" to get the pic of her pre-boob job into evidence was masterful.
He got her to say that DB had taken it. (Previous nude pics with other men.)
He got her to ask him what this had to do with things. (She's rude and snarky again.)
He asked if her if it wasn't a sexual photograph? (We will never know but it might be.)
She then said that it was a pre-op photo and a medical photo.
(Which once again showed the jury that she's a LIAR. DB took a "medical" photo of her?)
And, the evidence didn't even get in!
: )
ETA - It also reminded the jurors that she's had a boob job and BEST OF ALL, it really made her uncomfortable knowing that the picture might be shown.
OtMorning peeps.... :coffeews: hope we don't get a "Ms. Arias is sick, your Honor" BS....
IMO that would be a bad move, because it might open the door for the defense to tell the jury that, yes, that's right, Jodi is sick. She's not a cold-blooded killer, she's sick.So if she thinks Travis's alleged attraction to boys "sickening".
And in the next few minutes she also could not resist her sexual attraction to him.

She testified on direct that she thought by having sex with him, she would be "helping" him overcome those urges. Dr. Arias...sexpert.
I never read "The Secret". Does it suggest that if your lover has rejected you that you should stab him 29 times, slit his throat from ear to ear and shoot him in the head? Just wondering...
I must not be watching the same trial. I dont want him to stop. I want him to keep on keeping on and taking a bite out of her everytime she speaks.
We have court watchers in the courtroom. They have seen no juror having sympathy for the murderess. I imagine the jury is sick and tired that she cant answer one damn question honestly and forthrightly.
The more she talks the more it shows her arrogance and her guilt.
Of course she isnt going to break under pressure. She is a vile sociopath but she does reveal herself. Little by little she lets the mask slip.
Juan Martinez is amazing and more skilled than any other Prosecutor Ive ever seen. When she jumps in the weeds he jumps in with her..'machete in hand'........and he doesnt hesitate. No matter what tangent she jumps into he has questions about that and when she knows he is harming her she jumps into the weeds on another tangent and he stays right with her and has questions about whatever she says even when she is trying hard to change the subject. Priceless.
Not every Prosecutor could be this nimble and quick minded but he knows this case like the back of his hand.
IMO

This is not the movie "Primal Fear". Jodi doesn not have "multiple personalities". Kirk Nurmi is not Richard Gere. Jodi is neither Aaron, nor Roy.
Jodi is a garden variety, evil psychopath who is currently twisting in the wind, desperately trying to manipulate her way out of the mess she created. IMO.
