Jodi Arias Trial: New Witnesses May Reveal Defense Strategy- Prosecution Omissions
*BLINK DISCUSSES THE JODI ARIAS TRIAL TONIGHT LIVE AT 9PM ON THE DANA PRETZER SHOW
Phoenix, AZ- In a terse exchange prior to the hiatus in the Arias trial, the defense repeated their contention that they want The Honorable Sherry Stephens to order a directed verdict or a mistrial in the State’s case against Jodi Arias.
As reported exclusively by BOC it does seem the prosecution missed quite a bit of potential evidence including a possible motive- the duct tape around Travis’s right arm. Was it the final straw that made Jodi Arias snap as she was allegedly taking photos of Travis in the shower without his knowledge?
There was also an exparte hearing held in Judge Stephen’s chambers, however, the contents of those minutes have not yet been filed- although the docket suggests they have. The defense is now testing Jodi Arias’s canon camera for some undisclosed reason.
With the defense preparing to start its case next week in spite of the outstanding motions before the court- have the prosecution’s actions harmed their case?
The issue at the forefront seems to hinge on something that the prosecution never introduced- On Purpose, says Prosecutor Juan Martinez.
The prosecution’s very first witness, Maria Hall, who was the female friend attending the Cancun trip with Alexander on June 10th, told the court that Travis told her he had been stalked while on a date with another girl and had his tires slashed. The intimation before the court was clear regardless of the defense attempts to point out that Travis never said it was Jodi who was responsible.
Nancy Grace and Jane Velez Mitchell lit up their HLN evening roster discussing Arias’s stalker behavior with several associates of Alexander. Dr. Karl Hiatt said one Sunday he was told that he had his tires slashed and that it was possible that something might escalate and he may not show up for dinner as a result.
Outside the presence of the jury Juan Martinez argued that they did not call the witness who Travis was on that particular date with because he did not want to create “an inflammatory” situation for the jury causing an appellate issue.
However, Martinez also lets it slip that Lisa Andrews Daidone does not want to testify and the defense tells the judge the prosecution has withheld her contact information from them and THEY intend to call her. Daidone recently deleted her FB profile and other social media sites in her name.
Does it make any sense to anyone why a prosecutor would not call a witness who could place a dangerous weapon in the hands of a person committing a destructive and openly violent act who they allege is guilty of doing exactly that for exactly the same reasons in the instant case?
From Daidone’s bog entry in 2008:
”…So because Heavenly Father allowed this to happen, I have grown in such a way that I couldn’t have otherwise, or at least not as quickly. While if you asked me a few months from now if I could go back would I change it, I would say “Absolutely,” I’m not sure how much I would actually change about it. Of course I wouldn’t want Travis to be taken. I might even opt for Jodi to be popped instead. But who am I to decide the fate of the hundreds of people that have been effected by this? It’s hard
to say which way is better. Travis always talked about Opportunity Cost. He spoke of how his time could be used best, to benefit the maximum amount of people. I’m sure he wishes he could have done more while he was here, but I don’t think he regrets leaving. He is doing something amazing up in the Spirit World. I know it. I can feel it. He is continuing to learn and progress. He’s helping others to do the same. He is the same wonderful, creative, spontaneous, caring, gentle, driven, foe- paint-loving, show-tune-singing man that I fell in love with…”
Is it because in the 48 Hours Mystery program so frequently noted by the defense Detective Flores openly states there was no evidence whatsoever that Jodi was involved in that incident after he repeats his theory that Travis was shot first? Both these statements made by the lead detective in the case on national television directly conflict with the prosecution’s case as testified by Esteban Flores.
NO.
Is it because they already know who was responsible for the multiple tire slashing incidents and presenting that information might corroborate a story told to them by Arias in the past?
In her own words, Lisa Andrews Daidone began dating Travis Alexander in July 2007. According to the minutes filed from trial January 16th, the tire slashing incident was in December 2007, both Alexander and Andrew’s tires were slashed and the individual came to the front door . Martinez states Andrews will testify to these facts. Prior to dating Alexander, Daidone was dating a common friend and member of their Mormon ward- Steve Bell. Arias claims she and Travis began dating February 2, 2007.
Daidone will not go into how she and Travis began dating, or why, but there is a Steve Bell connected to this group that has had some serious troubles with the law immediately preceding the break up, and many following.
Could the mystery stalker have been on her end and NOT Arias? If so, you can bet the defense will be bringing that issue into court next week and providing the jury with this eye opening gem- expected to cause further problems with the State’s theory.
That’s not all, unfortunately.
Thomas Brown, a former roommate of Travis Alexander in the home of his murder, was interviewed up to three times by Detective Flores whereby he told them that Jodi had open access to the home when he was around and the Arias he knew was completely shy and somewhat awkwardly withdrawn. He was having a hard time picturing her do this without help and he told cops that.
He also told them something about Travis being shocked to get the call that Jodi Arias was standing outside the home the early morning hours of June 4, 2008 and that he had been up all night performing some sort of protection rite. Brown’s information was not included in any information given to the defense and he was not even aware his name came up in the investigation by Jodi Arias herself. I would expect that issue to surface promptly as well.
Gus Searcy, $100K ring earner for Prepaid Legal Services and now Legal Shield was noticed to be available this week for interview. Travis was scheduled to be on the conference call with Searcy at 6:45PM the evening of his murder.
Artful Dodging
While the trial is in hiatus, one are of Jodi Arias’s life is quite active and well, pecuniary.
Arias, through her family, has taken to EBay to sell her personally rendered offerings the macabre set is snatching up for a few hundred clams a piece during the trial.
It is believed to be managed by Arias’s mother Sandy, who uploaded images to Arias’s MySpace after her incarceration to include one of Gary Alexander- Travis’s older brother.
The defense portion of the Jodi Arias trial for the murder of Travis Alexander led by Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott will begin its case January 29th.

Well, nevermind the robbery aspect. I guess this was what the secret meetng was about. How awful.
I sure don’t understand the judge’s ruling on this.

Arias will apparently accuse TA on Monday of lewd acts (masturbating) while looking at pictures of young boys.
_______________________________________________________________
This is what I was afraid of. Whatever J and T’s sexual relationship was, it was bad for both of them on so many levels, but THIS accusation is just over the top and Travis is not here to defend himself. His computer had no porn on it. Detectives found no pictures. How can she be allowed to say these things?

Ragdoll,
Chicken soup and rest, rest, rest. Chicken soup really works! It’s not just an old wive’s tale!
The stolen laptop is a suspicious coincidence. What will they do?
how can her attorneys let her sit up there and lie about travis liking young boys. i’m so disturbed right now and am sending prayers to the family of travis alexander. i guess as long as she said it the defense attorney has to take her word. i’m sure martinez will ask her on cross why she continued to stay with him or why she didn’t report him, unless she’s using this story/lie to build up to what caused their alleged fight that led to travis’ murder. i’m praying that this backfires and turns the jury against her and also doesn’t do her any favors in the penalty phase.

—————————————————————–
It’s another “degrade Travis” tactic by the defense. I feel soooo very sad for the Alexander family sitting in the courtroom having to listen to the “down and dirty” smut stories coming out of Jodi’s mouth. Sensationalism at its finest maybe. Justice for Travis? Hopefully after Martinez does his cross.
Does she have photos of Travis masturbating to young boy pics? With her track record of lying, I don’t know why anyone would allow her to make just any old claims about Travis. Last I checked, it still isn’t legal to murder a pedophile or a guy who just wanted sex without marriage. I know the judge wants to eliminate possible future appeals, but this is so beyond the scope of what this trial is supposed to be about. Travis should NOT be on trial and she should have to provide CREDIBLE evidence he attacked her first before she played out the Psycho-esque slaughter on him.
I do hope we can muddle through the balance of BS from the defense case and get back to the charges against Arias. She plotted and planned, begged, borrowed & stole to murder him: borrowed money and gas cans to get to the murder scene, packed a stolen gun, at least one knife, changed her appearance to avoid identification, had wild jungle sex on camera as a prelude to stabbing her victim 29 times, slit his throat ear-to-ear, shot him in the head. The state has a photo-essay of her Murder Day, including an actual photo of the murder and dragging the body to the shower. She left a bloody palm print, fled the state, disposed of SOME of the evidence (duh), then hopped atop her next potential victim.
The jury has hours of interrogation videos of her making up a new story every time she saw more evidence against her. Now she is trying to get the jury to believe the appalling annihilation of a naked man in the shower was justified because he just wasn’t that into her, but did succumb to the temptation of having sex with her. I hope, too, the state reminds the jury that she hacked into his social media accounts, broke into his phone to spy on him, crawled in his home through the doggy door, showed up unannounced, let herself in and confronted him with Lisa, stole his passwords, accessed his bank accounts…gawd I don’t think she deserves this time on the stand stabbing Travis in the back all over again.
Whew, I feel better now LOL. I have 4,000 miles under my belt! This country is majestically beautiful, but the inside of my home is the prettiest sight by far! Hoping and praying Travis’ family gets the justice they seek. This woman should not be turned back into society because she is dangerous in a Black Widow kind of way.
Neither Jodi or Travis are clean in regards to sexual activities. He probably found out very quickly that Jodi had a fixation on sex and he took advantage of it. Jodi was looking for a person with money to take care of her. She wanted to be Mrs. Alexander and would do anything to get there. When it didn’t happen, more than likely Travis told her he was going to move on without her and that triggered the reaction that ended in his death. I think the knife and gun were in her vehicle for quite a while prior to their use.
Is this testimony a made up story that has been rehearsed until Jodie can just make it a part of her reality and present it as truth? Some of it is truth, but most may be just imagination. If you are a sociopath, the diference between fiction and truth is non-existant.
The prosecution will more than likely have information to refute enough of the testimony so that the jury will understand the portion that is fiction.
I would think that the mental health expert would have both paper and electronic backup for the material on the stolen laptop. Any professional that makes their living from computers would IMO never work without backup of the data. It is simply too easy to copy the data to a thumb drive in a USB port.

I haven’t had the flu for years. My son had it last w/e. I was laying next to him when he COUGHED a gaggle of flu spores (I got that from Anderson Cooper…LOL) into my face. I knew I was toast. Didn’t take more than 24 hours before the symptoms began.
Despite taking my vites, drinking fluids, washing hands and purelling the crap off my skin….I’ll just chalk this up to being at the right place at the right time (speaking from the A strain’s point of view).
I hate hospitals. I’ll do what I have to stay out of them.
Sorry to be off topic, y’all. I certainly don’t mean to be disrespectful to Travis’ or this thread.
I found the following comment on TA’s My Space page made by Chad Perkins 6 years ago. No way to know if he was kidding or why the comment was posted. I wonder if his post gave JA the idea to paint TA as a pedophile.

Chad Perkins
Twas two nights before Christmas, and all through the greater Phoenix area, Travis was cruising for underage boys to make his Christmas more cozy. Have fun, just don’t violate the terms of your probation!
6 years ago
Since when was it a crime to masturbate (in private)? And what does it have to do with her slicing and dicing him to death?
It’s been close to five years since Travis was murdered. What happened to Jodi’s rights to a “speedy trial” according to the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution?
@ATG Unfortunately, I know a number of professionals who don’t do adequate back-ups and assume their laptops will never crash or be stolen.
In this case, however, the expert should have already provided a copy to the prosecutor’s office.
I am sure of that. In most cases redundant “lab” on forensic evidence of any kind is protocol.
B
Hopefully Target has counsel retained (grin). I was in there this evening and lo & behold on an endcap of a main aisle is a huge display of boy shorts (young womens’ underwear) – Superman, Spider-Man, Hello Kitty and various solids. I’ve worn boy shorts for years, and boy short 2-piece swimsuits. They are just more comfortable and flattering on my physique.
Arias is grasping. The pedophilia in Mormanism is documented and she’s going for it. Reprehensible. I say bring on the proofs, otherwise go home. Cannot wait for cross. I hope Martinez has had time to be sure he nails it.
B, I respect your thought that the defense counsel is probably not responsible for the stolen laptop, however Arias is in jail… planning and scheming… and inmates have connections to the outside. That does not seem like such a far reach to me. It is otherwise suspect. A psychological finding on Arias could very well impede her fabrications and more importantly, her outcome.
These findings are turned over in discovery, there is no need.
I don’t dispute it is POSSIBLE it is Arais motivated, but to be honest, but I do not believe Nurmi is risking a law license for Jodi Arias with his first case in private practice.

Hi- careful to all the snow diggers. Glad you are doing better Ragdoll, I wondered where you were when psycho took the stand-lol.
I am so utterly stressed over the sordid abuse the Alexander family is being subject to on a continual basis-and so hoping it is all pointing to a greater good in the end. It is my understanding that both sides, the Pros & Def. have an understanding of where each side intends to go with their case as long as they can make a legal basis for presenting such. This last bit- Pedo pics- is the head twister for all. Whatever the precedent for allowing this- this evidence will then be the catalyst that shows JA had all this stress ( 2 occasions I believe) and that he threatened her not to reveal this to his church or authorities and caused her to defend herself, blah blah blah. Poor Travis- all he did was say he the road jack like so many do, and look where it got him, got his family?
The biggest barrier we have if one is pro Pros.is that there are jurors that can relate to her or believe her stories of forced or coerced sexual escapades with Travis. I personally do not. In the simple form as she would point out- she has a lengthy history of lying, she has a lengthy history of sexual partners vs Travis, she has hx of anal sex, she has hx of seeking out by travel, blah blah. I think their sexual activity would normally be NORMAL for many young ppl, except she is abnormal, noted by many people. She threatened to get ugly if she didn’t get her way and she is doing exactly that- she is very dangerous and needs to be removed from society, permanently.
Good morning Blink & Blinksters
@ To Ragdoll: get well soon
Eloise said: “She threatened to get ugly if she didn’t get her way and she is doing exactly that- she is very dangerous and needs to be removed from society, permanently.”
Well said! She is weaving a distorted story, hoping to manipulate the jury into thinking less of Travis and more of her ‘poor, little, innocent me – I had to defend myself against this wicked man’. Oh – she’s just too creepy for words. I literally can’t stand to watch her.
I’ll start watching again when the prosecution crosses. That’s what I’m waitin’ for! Get her!!

Did I hear right? Arias is taking her lies to include Travis’ and young boys (no graphics). If so, I have the rage. This is the sort of thing I hope bites that b*tch in her @$$. She seems to lack the common sense that one needs proof and embellishments won’t pass as such.
She blew it. Despite all the obstacles the pro’s have against them, fem bot is d@mning herself and I have not one doubt she will be found guilty. NO WAY the jury doesn’t see her for what she truly is. I have faith in them and the system.
Love y’all.

Absolutely agree. Only reason that I’m not posting a defense of her is that I don’t want it to be misconstrued as supporting the self-defense claim. You expressed my perspective very well.
Hello Lizzy, & Classygal says:
February 7, 2013 at 8:51 pm
thank you both for having the courage to speak up-
I do not want my posts to be misinterpreted to be a support for Jodi Arias or her newest claims of self defense.
That isnt what I believe in the slightest- we as yet still havent heard the self defense story although they probably are leading up to it laying the ground work-
My thoughts are more in a defense to all victims and their families who have to get up and defend themselves and their pasts
People like Morgan Harrington who have been dragged thru the mud each and every time someone ventures to wonder if she didnt somehow contribute to her own rape and murder
Her attire questioned
her “propensity to hook-up”
her # of boyfriends
her drinking
her flirtatiousness.
Eloise you wrote in part:

See it is a very slippery slope….. that type of language if used in MH case or a rape case would be wrong- and a shame …but in this case hey she was more experienced, she went to him….she had anal intercourse before….she has lied before….
When we try to protect Travis the true victim here by degrading Arias for her past we are not helping Travis and we are not helping all other victims and their families who have to defend themselves from the lies and innuendos of their rapists and killers.
Youre either a temptress or a slut which obviously will lead to murder (this case)
or you werent really a victim you have a past a sex life which may have been overly flirtatious, or the history may have included anal and oral and pics and hey for good measure lets throw in talk about weird fetishes or s&m or
thoughts about young boys..
See what I mean?
Jodi is sitting up there right now talking about rape and little boys underwear and all that crap-
its not right -
I just dont want us to use Jodi Arias sex life against her otherwise we are dangerously close to making moral and value judgments against Travis- which is what this Defense WANTS
and we are most definitely on the road to making moral judgments of thousands of victims of rape/murder who have much the same backgrounds and are forced to defend their character and their reputations because of just such a past
None of this should matter- and when WE the people make it matter it becomes easier for the wrong people to be hurt.
Lets work to make it less easy for the bad guy to throw up this kind of “defense”-
Your past sex history does not mean you wanted to be used and tossed away or that you asked to be raped
nor does it mean you should be murdered
AJMO
Peace
Re: Testimony from JA today. What does any of today’s testimony have to do with her brutally murdering Travis? Where is the evidence he was murdered in self defense? I believe what JA is saying but see no justification for his brutal murder. She has a serious mental condition. Unfortunately she’s being tried fon two counts of murder.
I missed the first 30 mins. of testimony today, came in when Nurmi was questioning Arias about Travis having sex with her while she slept. What? Is she calling that rape? How long did she stay asleep? Was she on Ambien? What did I miss, did she already testify as to the photos of young boys?
I have not seen nor heard that Travis had any photos of young boys on this computer, and I am hearing on HLN this is Deanna’s computer??
I believe that the intimation was that the sex act occurring while she was sleeping was that it was not consensual.
From where I sit we are a long way away from a nexus to this murder.
B
Mom3.0, you’re right about JA’s sex life, and frankly I don’t care what she and another consenting adult did. That alone doesn’t make her a bad person or guilty of murder.
Same goes for Travis. I cannot fathom why the judge would allow allegations of his possible pedophilia inclinations without some sort of proof – computer, cell, etc. That’s just unconscionable and devastating for his family. And those allegations can never be made to go away entirely.
Sure she deserves to present a defense, but this is just sickening.
And I wear boyshorts, love them! They are the most comfortable fit I’ve found.
Are the boyshorts Travis gave JA definitely for boys and not women?
Oh, Ragdoll, I just read you were hospitalized!!!! Please be well, sweetie!!!!!
wow I feel like I’m in the twilight zone watching this. Jodi arias is pure evil. I am home on maternity leave and only watch when my newborn or 16 month old are taking naps because i’m terrified to subject either of them to even hearing this woman’s voice. thanks to this website I have become even more aware of how important it is to teach our children to listen to their satellites. my daughter is 16 months old, my son 7 weeks and as the mother of a son I find it terrifying what the lies of a woman scorned could do to a young man. (i know a man scorned can be just as bad). thank you blink for reminding me and others on this site how important our satellites are.
Amen Sunshine!
B
Is it just me but is the defense trying to drag this out? He looks at his watch while asking questions?
Details she remenbers is just ridiculous, off the wall, and childish.
I think he wants to end with the recording at the end of the day for jurors to go home with that.
Absolutely digesting that JA is allowed to sit up there and spew her crap without a scintilla of proof.
Nurmi with his constant reference to “boys underwear”.
Get over it dude … Woman wear boy shorts all the time, they’re very much in style.
The way Nurmi describes them they sound like tighty-whitey little boys underwear.
I hope Juan brings in pairs of various “boy shorts” to hold up in front of the jury –and ask JA if these were the types of undies she wore.
Boy shorts are sold in every women’s lingerie section … From Target –> Victoria’s Secret –> Neiman Marcus.
(yes, even the kind with Superman/Spiderman/other cartoon characters on them)
Boy shorts are extremely comfortable and look flattering on many women’s body types.
Shoot, many cute bathing suits are of the “boy short” style.
I have to turn off her droning “poor pitiful me” testimony after short periods of time.
She’s a cold hearted murderer … Who now is determined to murder his reputation when he’s not there to defend himself,
There s ZERO corroboration of ANY of her statements (lies).
Dang auto correct …
That’s supposed to be “disgusting” … Not digesting.
Yes, she remembers some amazingly insignificant details, then can’t remember more important info, like when they first had intercourse.
Her descriptions today of 2007 trips, fights, etc were so copious, so exhaustively elaborate. IJDK, this smacks of obsessive stalker behavior.
The “talking heads” are driving me nuts. Since when did a photo of a five year old boy in his underwear equal porn?
Since she needed a defense to a vicious and brutal murder.
Agreed on the talking heads- my word already.
B
Is there any evidence JA has a broken ring finger left hand?
Today’s testimony was so…….I don’t even know how to classify it.
It would appear that the victim had his faults, we all do. We are all guilty of doing things we regret or are ashamed of at one point or another during our lives, but I do not believe some of the horrendous accusations that she word vomited on the stand today. Interesting that she seems to be the only person on the planet that he ever laid a hand on and she is the only person aware of his preference for boys…
I get that she is fighting for her life and is going to do anything she can to save her own @$$, but there is a line and today she sprinted across that line and didn’t look back.
I hope that Martinez uses every piece of ammunition he has against her on cross. While a lot of us are hoping for that Jack Nicholson “you can’t handle the truth” moment on cross where she snaps and admits she did this not in self defenses….im afraid it will be anticlimactic in the end, but I do think he will be able to shine the light for the jury…
I’m just thoroughly appalled at what was said today….I truly feel sooo badly for the families getting drug into her delusions.
@Ragdoll hope your feeling better soon!!!
I could have predicted that the little boy would be in boy’s underwear. I am waiting to hear her say he dressed her up like Kato the houseboy in “Pink Panther” and he would enter in one of his nice suits and engage in martial arts fighting before sex. It would seem to me he would prefer a houseboy to a buxom blond French maid with “ummm I think her leg was up on a chair” ….you think she would remember that knowing the picture was about to be shown….fantasy.
I don’t know this jury but Jodi seems to telling one lie after another
If I sit here thinking she is just telling tales to get off
How can anyone else believe her
I broke a finger years ago and the dr put a bar in and it shows no sign of ever being broken today
So why didn’t she have it fixed
She just does not make sense
Driving home to throw up because she doesn’t want to throw up on the way home
Why. Not
Just lies
That story about the front porch play acting or what ever Is just not believable
@ Twtich, palerider and Mom3.0
Thank you all for your kind words. God bless your hearts!
Lovin on all of you! xo xo xo
I’m actually done with watching this garbage. She’s lovin the attention and the stage to twist and weave her stories. I truly believe she’s loving her moment BECAUSE…it’s all about her.
I can’t take it anymore. I can’t take Travis’ life and character being drug through the mud at the expense of a freak of nature. In fact, it proves she cares about no one except herself. I don’t care what’s within her or WHY she does what she does. Travis doesn’t deserve this bs. If I can honour his memory in some small way, I’ll tune out ‘This is your sex life with Jodi Arias’ and focus on a positive outcome for the one she murdered.
I would love to see this end with the Hannibal Lecter mask on her fugly lyin mug.
Iyla and Malty,
Regarding her “broken finger” she allegedly received when Travis allegedly kicked her: In her interview with Flores where she is wearing the orange jumpsuit and telling the fable of the 2 intruders, he asks her if she sustained any injuries during the attack. She replies ” yes” and proceeds to point to her finger ( what appears to be the same finger on her left hand that she held up in court today) and continues on to tell him that ( paraphrasing) she was hurt during the attack and her finger has not been the same, or is now deformed or can’t close it all the way like the others. She even has him touch it saying something like ‘all you can feel is bone’. I hope they play this back during cross !!!
Ragdoll,
Get well soon, friendy!
I hope Martinez takes each stab wound and says to JA, how did that stab make you feel? and that one? And how exactly did you feel as the blood ran down your arm Ma’m?
RE: Mom3.0 says:
February 11, 2013 at 1:22 pm
I am not quite sure what point I made that you were responding to or not-
But I would never compare Morgan to Jodi Arias in this lifetime or thereafter. Actually, I feel the same toward Travis as I do Morgan- both slaughtered in the prime of their lives.
I feel the the Defense, prompted by JA’s lack of a defense have placed her sexual history at the forefront of this case, which I personally think has no bearing whatsoever to the case at hand. But, if we are then left to have to analyze the evidence like this jury will, thus far, evidence suggests to me, she may have been a bit more worldly than he. But I guess that will be left for the jurors to decide.
You said:
I just dont want us to use Jodi Arias sex life against her otherwise we are dangerously close to making moral and value judgments against Travis- which is what this Defense WANTS
Me: Why is that against Travis? I guess we have to take the leap to believe all her stories- which I can’t do-I believe there will be many of these tales that will be countered in rebuttal, so then how do we deal with what is the truth and what is spun to save her life?
You also said:
and we are most definitely on the road to making moral judgments of thousands of victims of rape/murder who have much the same backgrounds and are forced to defend their character and their reputations because of just such a past
Me:
I think this already happens. I think it is very awful for the typical rape victim, mainly females, to have to face their attacker & explain why they didn’t ask for it. I have seen where ppl have written and I agree, if Travis was a woman, we wouldn’t be doing this ridiculous dance, the perp. would be arrested and be sentenced already, but bc it is a female on male crime, it just couldn’t be- almost like reverse discrimination. That isn’t fair either. It’s very sad case.
Didn’t Jodi say during interrogation that she had no reason to hurt him (mumble) “He never raped me”. Isnt that now what she’s claiming? Rape?
So many here have commented that her sex life, and his don’t matter in this trial but the reality is that sex does hurt other people and it stirs up emotions. Why do you think there are crimes of passion committed? Because people get emotionally involved and have sex, and then, those emotions get tied into things when they find out the other person is cheating on them, or doing something else to them (real or imagined). Jodi’s sex life matters…her stories create a pattern of how she behaves with men. Travis’s sex life is unknown (except for the naked pictures of him taken the day of the murder), because he kept it hidden from others. But the bottom line is that nobody should be murdered because they rejected another person…and I believe that’s why Jodi murdered him.
I sure hope and pray the Jury sees through the Defense plot. Those boy cut looking PJs were Travi’s way of being sexy…it wasnt because he likes boys. I think the issue is that probably most of the men and women sitting on this jury have never adventurous with sex and cant imagine most of what Jodi is describing to them. They have to be judging Jodi and Travis both. But I hope and pray they are smart enough to conclude that Jodi is a liar, and a deviant who murdered Travis in cold blood. I dont know how Travi’s family can bear listening to her. She’s disgusting…but she will use anything her Defense team suggests or that she can think up in order to save herself from the death penalty. Anything.

Agree with you SOTT … the more JA rambles on with her lies = more ammunition for Juan to use during rebuttal.
As painful as it is to listen to JA lie and degrade Travis over and over again on the stand … She’s cooking her own goose. MOO.
I too remember JA telling Flores about how that same exact finger was injured by the “ninja’s” back when she was sticking with that version of events that fateful night.
She’s getting over her head now – trying to keep up with all the LIES she’s told.
All this will come back to bite her in the arse during cross.
My opinion … IF she does truly have some finger deformity, it was likely caused by the bloody, slippery life in her hands the night she brutally murdered Travis. Knife likely slipped and she cut her own finger as she was stabbing Travis. MOO
@SOTT
I have gotten lost here just when was Travis suppose to kick her finger and the popcycle stick treatment
Travis was suppose to have done because she had no insurance
Why not just go get it fixed Travis must have some money
Yet again she says he needs to ask her for money
I do remember the thing with that couple was suppose hurt her finger
My question is how long has she had this finger with out getting it fixed
I may be nit pickin but it is the little things she says that hit me as lies
Like that Front porch story to much
Then the French Maid store
Spider man shorts for Valintines day
Just a few comments from the faithful reader, and sometimes poster.
I feel sick too, after todays testimony by JA. She just keeps on cutting his throat from ear to ear, doesnt she? Sick, sick…..
I did more watching of TA’s family’s expressions today than I have before, and the pain on their faces just makes ME want to cry. I certainly hope that the jury can go to deliberations with an ability to slosh through all of Jodi’s childish confabulations and see the truth in why this man was killed so brutally. Do NOT want to see a “c word” replay. Keep on keeping on folks!
Okay I finished watching todays testimony.
I have to say I am feeling extreme sympathy for Jodi Arias’ father and little brother.
I do hope her little brother is in some form of therapy- it must be hard to be in his position even before sitting in court today.
It is such a shame that Jodi Arais is still hurting so many people-
My prayers to both families as both are victims of her actions.
Next I would like to call BS on Jodi’s testimony today Irt Travis little boy pics and “the incident” with her finger
The facts just dont line up.
Jodi testified under oath that she was over at Travis’ helping him place boxes in the attic he playfully and lovingly gave her a glass angel-
This is one of the ONLY loving generous stories she has told about Travis during the entirety of her “remembrances”
As a woman who has testified she “craved” affection add to that she was supposedly “afraid” of angering Travis with her lack of gratitude I submit that THE very LAST thing she would have ever have done is to forget that most prized tangible artifact of Travis’ “love” and kindness to her.
Then take into account that she testified under oath that she called Travis not only on his cell but also on his house phone to let him know she was on her way back…
Imagine for a moment that you Travis and are about to do something that is
1 against the law
2 that is against your religion
3 against your own moral fiber
$ something that requires a certain state of mind and mood…
If the phone was ringing would you continue on with your actions or would you be thwarted by the ringing phone and take it as a sign to stop or would you cont on?
next
Jodi testified it took her about 10 minutes to arrive back at the home
imagine you were Travis in this compromised state- in the midst of doing something that was so wrong in so many ways- at the first sound of the car in the driveway…the front door opening..the footsteps on the tile floor…the footsteps up the stairway…the sound of your bedroom door knob turning… I imagine a key in the lock…for who wouldnt lock the door in such a state?…add to that the soundof the dog…
at no point are you-was travis alerted to being discovered?
Yeah not buying it…
and then we can add to that-
We are to believe immediately after Jodi was there helping that Travis instantly felt in the mood and wanted to masturbate to a bunch of little boy pics so he immediately disrobed- didnt lock the door found all his hidden stash wasnt scared off by repeated phone calls and began and continued on in less than ten minutes?
BTW where did Travis supposedly get these photographs? there was a pile- “on the bed”…yet Jodi testified he was “on the bed” gee seems likely when you are breaking so many laws- spiritual and others you would be facing the doorway with the proof of your “deviance” in full view..with an unlocked door
Keep in mind we are supposed to assume these some kind of dirty pics- yet Travis had them in his possession- a man that is smart enough to keep his computer clean?
Yeah not buying it especially since it wouldnt be such a stretch for Travis to find the same sort of pics not dirty just boys in underwear- these pics coulf be found through an “innocent” search of Walmarts website or KMarts or Targets or Sears or any other online shopping site which features children modeling clothing to include underwear-
BUT no Travis had to have these pics to hold yet he wasnt holding them…was he? and this lone dropped pic just happened to waft over toward Jodi face up “like papers tend to do”
and BTW Travis had no problem in buying little boys underwear for Arias so why the hell wouldnt he just keep his “shopping” fetish on the up and up and on the comp. Easily explained away as a fad at that time for his “secret lover” Jodi…keep the pics on the comp where it would be no big deal and could never be discovered by someone walking into his bedroom unannounced… Simply close the lap top and all evidence is gone or is easily explained away
TOTAL BS Jodi
On to “the “incident” with Jodi’s finger- again I call total BS
ANYONE and I mean ANYONE that has ever had an injury to the ribs let alone a kick to them- realizes that that broken finger which Arias is trying to say she obtained in the same “incident” as the kick although AFTER Arais “remembrance” just isnt factual-
AS the last hurt Arias would be moaning about at the time would be her “broken” finger- She wouldnt have been making any “yelps” over her hurt finger she would be in EXCRUCIATING pain from the KICK to her ribs- and Arias would not be holding her finger and crawling to look down at Travis at the doorway- She would be in Excruciating pain just trying to breathe any movement would have sent her head spinning-
and if she happeded to hold up her hand to block the next kick to her ribs I submit more than one finger would have been injured and broken…
add to that she would have not been thinking of her finger pain in the following days either- she would have been focused on the rib pain she would have been sore for many days regardless if it was bruised ribs or cracked ribs or whatever- SO NOPE I call BS again Jodi-
and I truly hope the jury can take the time to logically look at these two stories and work their way thru the Illogical timeline and the injuries and the pain and sequence of events because if they do they will realize that it just does not add up to the truth.
AJMO
Peace

Regarding the broken finger. Probably got broken during the brutally murderous attack on TA. I pray the prosecution nails her to the wall. She belongs in prison without parole. She’s not mentally fit to walk the streets.
A little truth in a lot of lies –
I cannot find where I thought I read a long time ago that Travis was into kickboxing. It’s also been stated that JA is in good physical condition. I can see someone in her position wanting to be an “equal” and therefore engaging in horseplay. Palms out (“I can take it. Give me what you’ve got!”) and something hitting just right to cause an injury. (I know this from a similar experience!) Competitive horseplay like this is also a kind of flirtation.
Unfortunately, I also know what it is like to have violent physical wounds, including broken ribs and bruised/beaten ribs. It hurts to breathe. It doesn’t always bruise. It is extremely difficult to act normal around those who know you best for any period of time. Your body moves differently, slower, restricted. It takes a long time to heal. And when there is an opportunity to escape, you RUN LIKE HELL AND NEVER LOOK BACK. I do not understand how she is getting away with making accusations with no proof. She is lying. She doesn’t own her statements with her words. She isn’t credible and Travis is not the one on trial.
This is all so frustrating!
Ragdoll…DON’T MAKE ME COME TAKE CARE OF YOU!!
(wait…are you a better patient than my husband??)
*Btw, y’all…hubby is back at work after breaking his leg for the first full day. He ALMOST got sucked in to the trial. ALMOST!!
He changed the channel and there it was. I said something very snarky and he says “Ohhh..is that the crazy b that stabbed her bf over and over”
He watched it for 5 minutes and then changed it. LOL..**
Ok, I’m ready to just get this over with. How is the judge letting it drone on and on…and on…and on….zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Is the jury complaining at all?
I would be if I were on the jury.
I can’t wait for cross.
The phone sex tapes: I understand JA taped the sex phone conversations with Travis. If true, to me it suggests premeditation.
