Jodi Arias Murder Trial

[CaptMarge]

Do you guys mind if I join your group, I've been watching the trial as much as I can! I', very sad for Travis and his family. I have decided not to decide on her guilt until Juan Martinez finishes his cross examination. If anyone can get to the root of evil in Jodi Arias I feel it will be him. I'm so sad that this poor girl has ruined so many lives because she couldn't function without a man. It's like she had no identity from an early age without a male. She likes to be controlled by men and that's why she became so obsessed. I wish the new evidence found admissible on Friday was instead denied. Juan Martinez left out the whole Stalking episode for the sake of prejudicial influence, I think the new evidence falls into the same category, that ans I really believe since it can't be 100% proven it is hearsay! Well that's just what I'm interpreting up to today, we'll see about tomorrow!

Do you folks who watched the Casey Anthony trial remember hearing that the defense attorneys had a team of people perusing social media for comments about the trial and its players? And determined that people thought George was "creepy" (why, I don't know...I never thought he was!) and they played that idea up? I wonder how much that might figure in to this trial, on either side, and how much in general in trials these days. Like, did the defense know about that Cameron Diaz scene where she's dancing in Spiderman underwear? Do they now know because it was brought up on TV and probably tweets/online? Did the prosecutor know? Does HE know now because of social media?

Anyway...everyone get a good night's sleep; it's hard enough to stay awake during this questioning. I bet it will be easy to stay awake for the cross-examination! '

One more thing...about that Nurni (sp?) guy saying "I'm confused..." I interpreted that to mean that what JA was saying might be something the jury would be confused about, and he's just asking her to further explain, so that supposedly the jury will "get it". I think it's a style of questioning, not that what she's saying isn't what he expected her to say.

And this one for Travis supporters:



I think these are kinda over the top, but I read someone believes Jodi colored her hair in the shower after the killing and with Travis' body BECAUSE spattered blood on bleached blonde hair will dye it so she had to cover those spots that got on her hair when she killed him.

With all the public interest in this case, I wonder if the State or Defense really has time/manpower to sift thru all the cazy social media for feedback.

I'm back for more drama. There is about 45 minutes until testimony. I need groceries for dinner but can't decide if I should run to the store quick or let everybody suffer with a dinner scrounged up! Looks like another week of not accomplishing much!

There's always the hour and a half lunch break for that kinda stuff.

I'm having a hard time buying that she would have thought through a premeditated murder to the extent that she'd have hair dye on hand, or notice after she violently killed him that she had blood in her hair that she needed to cover with dye, and then do it. Interesting theory tho.

Oh, I think there are plenty of people (law students?) who can easily watch InSession or the HLN shows that pick apart this trial and get at least basic information that they can further analyze, like for instance, the Spiderman underwear, and I think that's a BIG finding. The defense is making a huge deal of this underwear, and we know that JA/TA and friends were into movies. If the prosecutors didn't know before about that scene from Charlie's Angels, those shows brought it out, and they know now. Also, they could easily follow someone on Twitter, or read Websleuths...those people are pretty amazing.

Now that I think about it tho, she MUST have showered to get all that blood off. Ack, was she in the shower with his dead body? Honestly, I don't think it would faze her.

The Spiderman underwear from the movie isn't the first use of a movie scene in Jodi's story, there's been chatter about Lost Boys and some other movie. Maybe I'm just too old for this kinda crap and have faith that Martinez is using real evidence to convict Arias.

And I'm having a hard time believing that anyone thinks blood will dye bleached blonde hair.

Just some thoughts..
I heard about her allegedly walking in on him ..his acts..pix etc.
She could have walked out...
And if she didnt...
Why have relations with him? and
well, why would there 20 minutes ?? spread of time of taking pix of him in shower (and she clearly had NO issues with him taking pix of HER in those positions ..)
As far as Undies..I think she took those pix and Made them....they were photographed a month AFTER the the murder..
Gee, sound like another alleged"back up story to abuse??"
Kinda like...I wasnt there
I was there but others came in
Oh yeah, I was there but it was self defense...
and then
She CALLS his phone AFTER the murder and plays like she had no idea he was dead?????
Uh....another try at an alibi..
Kinda like OOps...I got lost
OOps my phone battery died

I think she really freaked when she realized he prob dumped her for good that day/night....he wanted to move on...she could not hold him with sex any longer despite her best efforts???

The total DISrespect to this guys memory is DISgusting...my heart aches for his family and friends....
and Could you imagine what that girl (blonde witness, she was 19 at the time..a Mom, now married with a baby) who saw Jodi come into the home unannounced, had a security break at her house is thinkimg...
Thank Goodness she broke it off with Travis or she likely would also not be here...
The defendant is going to need to come up with a Much stronger reason with Hard proof for me to have any doubt she did not pre-plan, murder and cover it up as best as she could...
I cant wait to here cross...............but think thats gonna be several days while the defense spouts the nonsense to muddy the case...........

I'm not saying that Martinez is picking apart flimsy info found on the Internet to hurl at JA. The underwear was just an example of what the prosecutor MAY have found out from social media, and I thought of that because it reminded me of what was said about the Casey Anthony case and social media. And I do think it's "real" evidence that the Spiderman underwear likely came about as a result of a private joke, or whatever, after they watched the movie, rather than some weird perversion on the part of Travis Alexander off the top of his head. And that's important, since the defense's whole defense is to highlight Travis Alexander's perversion.

Jodi's father and brother are in court, front row, with Jodi's mother. Are her parents still together or divorced? Don't remember.

Ahhh back just in time. It's cold and blustery out, time to curl up for a good murder mystery. Why did it take 5 years to get a court date and was Jodi ever given a plea bargain like life in jail?

As an aside, the picture of Travis and Jodi in the water, where her hand is around his throat is a bit unsettling. It's so possessive.

Oddly enough, I know quite a few girls who think its cute to wear boys underwear....underroos. I'm sure guys would find it hot but more because of the body underneath and not the actual undies.im inclined to think it was the inside joke though.

Oh, I see where you're approaching it from and while it's a good theory (hell, at this point everyone is trying to make "sense"of this murder), I think Martinez will assert there's no porno adult or child connected to Travis except thru Jodi's lies, he can prove that, all the other minutiae is mindless.

The parents are still married.

Some years ago she tried to get a deal of 2nd degree with less than the maximum sentence, but it wasn't offered and the prosecution declined her offer.

How funny! I was noticing the same things. Her hair and glasses irritate me the most about her looks.

Who is the guy in the middle of those two girls? Is that a brother or brother in law of Travis? He looks so annoyed.

[BearcatsFan]

Oh puh-leeze! So he wants her to wear little boy's undies during sexual encounters? Implying that the undies make him think of little boys while she's wearing them? The whole notion of this is disgusting - she's smearing his reputation to try and save herself.

I hope the prosecution can check to see if he really did get VS catalogs in the mail.

Can't believe I'm sitting here listening to another day of "Ummmmm ... lie lie lie. Ummmm ... lie lie lie."
