So it's for sure a migraine on JA's part that got court cancelled??? Has anyone ever heard of SUCK IT UP????? I cannot believe she's allowed to direct the courtroom this way. Unreal.

I suspect she made the rope up to go along with one of the stories LaViolette will be telling about abuse victims and how they just go along with everything.
For those of us that are left on the board today, I have a question for anyone. These two pics show a tiny piece of rope, but I don't see any references for the pics??
I've tried to upload them here, will see if it works. I'm just wondering what these pics are? Looks to be on TA staircase?? Anyone have a comment? Were these ever discussed anywhere? Thank you.:seeya:
I have no idea.. I don't remember anything form before the last week..lol.. I think it was said no pillow was missing or something and I don't know if it matched anything with the other pillows in the house
Did I just hear this right? That the killer is claiming she is being made to wake up too early for court.
Just to preface what I am going to say I will say this: I think JA is guilty of premeditated murder and she is a despicable human being, but she does deserve a fair trial. I don't think it is right that anyone should have to get up that early and then have to participate in their own defense.
Let's just say, if it was someone else and that someone else was innocent and was facing the DP, would that be fair? NO. And besides, the way I see it, it is a Constitutional issue. And this sheriff is on some power trip.
IIRC those were not rope fibres but tassels from decorative pillows in Travis's bedroom.
Where did you hear that JA is on tranquilizers?Honestly I think that she believes that she doesn't deserve to be punished. She doesn't care that she hurt anyone, she feels he deserved it. JMO of course, but it just seems that way to me. No wonder they have her on strong medications (tranquilizers IIRC?), I think she would have snapped a bit in the courtroom, if not.
LaViolette DID interview Jodi & she DID lie to Alyce about computer pics. Of course later changing story to match computer forensic evidence. Here's more info:
During Juan's cross of Jodi on Day 21, Juan mentions the hearing on August 8, 2011. This hearing was where Jodi tried to get Matt McCartney to lie for her about pedophilia accusations against Travis & attempted to slip magazines to him. LaViolette was in this same hearing & told Juan Martinez during questioning that Jodi had told her Travis was masturbating to images on a laptop (not pieces of paper on bed).
Separately, accounts say that Juan was furious about LaViolette's testimony and immediately filed a motion to preclude LaViolette from testifying about Travis Alexander in any way. Mainly because her testimony would be based on a lie from Jodi. Prosecutor could prove this was a lie because it directly contradicted Jodi saying she saw Travis masturbating to pictures on his bed NOT images on laptop.
On August 15, 2011, the judge granted the state's motion to preclude LaViolette from speaking about Travis and limiting her testimony about main issues of abuse.
Separately, I seem to recall that Jean Casarez was recently on HLN speaking about this same hearing where LaViolette and Juan got into it pretty heavily and that LaViolette didn't fare well against him. Apparently Jean didn't think LaViolette would hold up against Juan much better than on that day when he gets her on cross. Does anyone have that video?

The reason they're using the rope lie is to get a knife upstairs. I think those fibers found gave them the idea.

Where did you hear that JA is on tranquilizers?
Do you remember what one she's on?
One juror asked: "Is Ms. Arias taking medication to treat this terrible PTSD disorder?"
"At various times she was on a tranquilizer, was on an anti-depressant, sometimes medication is suggested for PTSD, depending upon the nature of the symptoms. For example, some people experience intense anxiety, so one form of medication might be prescribed, some others might be experiencing depression, so another type of medication might be prescribed…but I was not involved with the treatment. That was left to the jail psychiatrist and therapist to provide her with that medication. The reason that I know she was on this medication is because she told me… and medical records reflected that," said Samuels.
More sidebars and delays than trial. The jurors aren't going to take long in reaching a verdict.
So is JA supposed to receive SPECIAL TREATMENT from the jail and court ??
(I certainly do not mean to jump on you about this ... I'm just sitting here with my jaw dropped because JA and/or her family thinks she should be treated any differently than any other prisoner housed at the jail and being transported to court daily)
I think not.
Maricopa County has been housing, feeding, transporting their inmates to court for years & years.
The courthouse runs the same basic way ... day and day out.
Thousands & thousands of inmates are handled and processed thru their system - from jail to court and back to jail at the end of the day.
I'm sure none of the prisoners like getting up early, or enjoy the food the are served.
This ain't the Ritz Carlton.
