Geragos was saying he should have just covered the murder and planning. Other TH's have been saying that too, that he should have not asked about the sex stuff. That's garbage. He had to address the defense argument of abuse. He did it well I believe.
I agree with you. And if Juan hdn't addressed the sex stuff, he would have been conceding that Travis was a deviant and giving the defense an excuse for her attack on him.
The prosecution needed to show that she was lying about that nonsense. I think that ALL of the male jurors will be disgusted by that behavior. Pretty much every male has in innate fear of being falsely accused of rape and/or child abuse. And Jodi not only murdered her ex lover, but she then went to trash his reputation with that BS.
I consider Juan a hero for getting down into the dirt with her to call her out. And in the final portion of his cross, he got her to admit with a smile on her face, that all of their sex was mutual, and enjoyable.
It is going to be next to impossible for those 'battered women' experts to make her out to be a victim, imo. We all know of horribly abused women who finally snap. But they usually have witnesses and pictures of bruises and police reports and they are usually dependent upon their abusers, having children by them and living with them.
Jodi had no reason to feel trapped by him nor any reason to even be there that night. She has no evidence of any prior attacks or injuries, and the broken finger story is just a joke now.
