trial day 39: the defense continues its case in chief #117

[NIN]

Jodi is uglier than usual today.

Maybe the alternate reality is a fairytale ; she's turning into a witch and her insides are coming to the surface and she is getting exposed.

It's the Law of Attraction at work.

You know, this is bugging me. I've been to traffic court and it was NO NONSENSE!
No Big Gulp cups, no giggling, no talking, no smirking. No one DARED disrespect the court in such a way. IMHO this judge needs to take control of her courtroom. Attorneys need to SIT UP respectfully in their chairs. NO drinks brought into courtroom. No coloring by defendant. No GIGGLING or talking. No spectators dressing like they are going to the club. Mitigation Specialist not looking like hooker. Attorneys NOT smirking constantly. All of this behavior is remarkably disrespectful to the court and to the victim's family. I am really sick of it.

I was shocked to hear that the dress code is much laxer than in Texas. We've never thought of doing anything like these people do. We would be told to go home and change.

I am watching HLNn(which I said I wouldn't do)
I am having an adult beverage (which I said I wouldn't do...much...)
I am ordering pizza (which i shouldn't do)
I feel this behavior shows that I have a shrunken hippocampus, PTSD and am really sad that in 10th grade I liked a boy who didn't like me back....

Maybe I should read "the Secret".....

:liar:

:giggle:

My boyfriend just yelled at the TV "So what it doesn't give her the right to kill!" He hates ALV so he's in the other room watching wrestling. I'm stuck with a fat orange cat watching this. Oh I called my cat fat. If he weren't male , that could be abusive.

My friend watching this with me said earlier that if Arias gets away with this defense then she has places to go and people to see and then it's time to take care of business.

I have no words for today, just...

I honestly have never watched a case where I get so angry but with this case I find myself getting more and more angry everyday.

This is the most vile, wicked, defense Ive ever seen. Arias not only brutally murdered this man but she has revictimized him over and over in death. I find that reprehensible and unforgivable.

I have always felt she deserved death but more and more each day I am convinced that is the only way true justice will be served in this case.

What she has put Travis' loved one through all of these years shows she is evil to the core and she has no soul.

IMO

 

[VALee]

another lie busted today, ALV said JA told TA no when she was awakened during an 'encounter' That was NOT what JA said during her testimony.

 

[Donnareit]

Can someone please tell me what month ALV/JW are discussing now? Last I checked in, they had gotten to Aug. 2007. Any chance they reached 2008 by the end of the day?

Nope. October I think, but they could circle back.

 

[SmoothOperator]

jmo but i saw ALV totally studying the jury several times today and IMO her face was priceless total look of discomfort..moo she knows her words are lost on the jurors at this point..moo she knows!

 

[JusticeJunkie]

I don't hate her, but she is a like a house of cards falling down.

IMO she is not helping Jodi at all.

I should have said despise - speaking only for myself. It was just funny when NG has been saying ALV was doing pretty well, but she blew her gasket over ALV today.
I can't stand what she is saying about Travis, and when she parrots JA's lies - it just sends me.
And right or wrong, it angers me that she is doing so much harm to peeps she has worked her entire life to help. It's really sad.

It's the Law of Attraction at work.

Funny, funny, funny.:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

 

[JusticeJunkie]

But wasnt the memorial before the funeral? And the charge for tire repair before the charge for airfair? So she got a flat then took a plane to the memorial but she claimed the flat was the morning of funeral

The memorial was after the funeral in this case.

 

[DairyGirl]

We've made it from late Aug to early Sep, still in 2007.

I thought I heard October mentioned? Maybe I was dreaming.

 

[Maryann123]

I"ve been away from the computer for several hours now, and I'm sure somebody else has already said this, but......... How can we contact tri-color, or juror number 5? I'm sure she is feeling guilty, or ashamed, or whatever. I want to tell her that I don't know how she made it this far. Listening to this BS day in and day out, without saying a word? No way! I would have been kicked off the jury way before this! She is my hero! She called the defense on this bunch of (bleep) and I admire her. Way to go Tri-color! Now, come out, come out where ever you are.

I don't hate her, but she is a like a house of cards falling down.

BBM

And that is a good thing.



MOO

 

[KPinMN]

I really feel bad #5 for getting booted off the jury today. She was simply a victim of the DT witch hunt, but probably feels terrible like she somehow failed.

 

[VALee]

Nope. October I think, but they could circle back.

And I suspect the closer we get to June, the lonnnnnnger this drivel is going to run, I bet JW keeps her on cross all next week.

This is a poor defense move, sacrificing quality, squelch the jury with quantity and repeats, over and over. Rookie mistakes.

:anguish: I would rather be listening to Dick S again then listen to Alyce LV
At least he didn't murder Travis all over again, like Alyce is.

If he did sorry my hippocampus has made me forget.

 

[Rocco]

HA! :floorlaugh: :floorlaugh: I don't know if you were being sarcastic but, no there is a way to go. What a waste of time! :banghead:

I'm watching Nancy Grace and I think I just got my answer----they're now talking about events that occured in Sept. 2007. They must be going through her journal day by day. I'm thinking getting through this testimony is going to take longer than it took to write 'Gone With the Wind'.

 

[Donnareit]

Compared to good judges I have seen this one doesn't take any ownership of her courtroom. It's like she's just another participant rather than someone who "owns" that space and no one has any doubt about it.

It's like "a" courtroom rather than "Judge Samuels' courtroom.

More like a classroom really. But I would not want to be in her shoes ever.
