Jodi Ann Arias shot and stabbed her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander to death (Part II)

[NCBlonde]

Huh? Now Nurms is back to arguing the shot came first; and if it came first Travis was unconscious. So, how did someone who is unconscious stand at the sink and move down the hall? Just, wow.

[Sea2Sky]

this line is going no where b/c there's no where to go.

[M Joy]

yeah they have nothing but hey at least they're trying?

Yah. They think the jury that all agreed to 1st degree premeditated murder will think that being stabbed 27 times and having throat cut wouldn't hurt because of adrenaline. They still think they're idiots.
I hope JM can use Jodi's post conviction interview in the next phase

I'm finding it interesting all the things that the DT is now agreeing with the state about. I hope the jury is picking up on all this.

[Mochachino]

This was a great move by JM. Silence for two minutes as they think about the damage she inflicted on TA. Brilliant.

@elizabetherwin 51s

Martinez says those two minutes were an eternity for Travis Alexander.

Was hoping he would do something with those 2 min! Home run from Juan! I feel a little over confident after this morning and think like Joy (10 min)

Just STFD Nurm. It's over! Listening to your whining is giving me a migraine.

[alyoop]

wow Nurmi really missed the point Juan made about the razor blade and her thinking that the nick stung. jeez.

[eliqueang]

when she commited suicide? Oh nurmi, even he wishes it was true

[I doubt it]

i simply cannot believe JW is actually going to attempt to prove that this killing was not cruel. her presence is basically futile at this point and anything out of her mouth is in vain.

Nah, she left it to Nurmi!

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh I missed the first 45 min. Did they actually start on time? Who is Ian looking at?

Automatically tuning out Nurmi - wonder if jury does too.

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

Nurmi trying to retry the defense case. He knows/remembers they came back with a unanimous Pre Meditated verdict right? Is he is a fog?

[dizzyp]

that really was powerful the 2 min of silence.. on two levels.. how much havoc she caused in that time but also a certain reverence for the memory of Travis. That's how I felt... very moving.

[Lady MacBeth]

um, nurmi, NEWSFLASH!! the jury REJECTED your episode defense. It was premeditated.

[ImBatman!]

i do. i think they really crossed the line of decency when they went into pedophlia and abuse. they had access to ALL of the writings and ALL of the friend interviews. They had no reasonable grounds to pursue that defense.

I agree...it wasn't about them though...it's what the defendant wants. Jodi wanted that.

[alyoop]

mental condition? so BPD gets you to the fog too? is that what he is saying Dr Demarte said?
Im sorry, but that was the worst argument for NOT being an act of cruelty I have ever heard. ever.

[nicola]

I remember hearing a while back that one of the inmates that knew stabby at the jail had said she told her that she had dismembered Travis and disposed of him in the desert. Always made me wonder if there was some truth there and she had initially tried to going by the wounds to his neck.

[Mochachino]

What are the chances Nurmi wraps up by noon? Nope, not happening. There is not much material for him to work with that would prove that the murder was not "especially" cruel.

He is a pro at drawn out jibber jabber.

BTW why is Jodi's mom is taking notes?

[AlisonL]

Nurmi's closing is a joke. I'm sorry, but he really just looks like an ass here. He's saying the DT takes issue with Dr. Demarte's dx, but they're now trying to use it? Can't have it both ways, dude. STFU.

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

Donavan is looking especially troll under the bridge today

[Bellaboo]

Because she's not crying.

Nurmi's going to lose the fight with his shirt buttons any time now

If one of those buttons blow, someone could lose an eye with the force of the projectile

[poppym]

Can anyone tell me when the Victim Impact Statements come into things? Is it part of this aggravation phase?

[MartyT]

yeah they have nothing but hey at least they're trying?

I have always felt that Nurmi disliked Arias from his body language alone. They DT speculated that the jury knew it which is partly why the they used the 'nine out of ten days' line. Nurmi and Willmott gave it their best shot. Even Willmott looks fed up with Arias now... unable to keep up the fake concern routine. She is unhappy that the DT wouldn't stoop nearly as low as she wanted them to. They will be attacked by her next. I hope the jury return quickly this time.

[DP64]

OMG JA is trying to look like she is sick and about to pass out. Pathetic.

[Cara]

It was falling asleep and smacking gum during JM's closing. Super classy.

[Sea2Sky]

somethings darkly amusing about Arias shaking her head NO.

[alyoop]

Is she about to nod off?

Where the hell does she think she is?

[snowfallsoon]

The doctor never said adrenaline prevents feeling pain, did he?

Nurmi tried very hard to separate himself from Jodi early on.
