I'm sure the jury is scratching their heads, thinking "WTF was THAT all about?" The only one who really knows is Jodi. I think the defense wants that in there, as evidence of the premeditation theory. But, it proves nothing. Only that the weapons had to be pretty darned close at hand, because he is on the floor and bleeding heavily within a few minutes. So, that could actually be in FAVOR of the pre-med, as that brings the timeline in even more tightly.
Oh I'm not worried about that. I am sure he has a good reason for agreeing to it.
How much time is there between 5:29:20 and the ceiling shot? I think there was plenty of time between those photos to retreive a weapon from wherever she had it.
ETA: 5:31:14. Almost 2 minutes between those two photos.

My best guess is that Juan stipulated that for the defense because the photo guy can't even prove that is the image of a person let alone a person with a knife or gun. It would not make sense to question the guy to death for either sides. Prosecution can't say it's Stabby with a knife or gun and defense can't say it is in fact even Stabby. Maybe I am indifferent but I think it was a good decision to keep us from that torture and let us get to rebuttal.
I think this stipulation was the Prosecution's compromise. This is the reason the DT wanted to admit the stupid reflection rubbish, as Nurmi stated to Sherry when she asked. They've probably settled on, "Well why don't we just stipulate that to the Jury (and confuse the fuck out of them), instead of Bryan 'Photoshop Expert' testifying?" Both parties have agreed. IMO
Why did JM agree to the stipulation that the image is not of Stabby holding a knife or gun in her hand???? Why didn't he fight it??
The point is the defense is going to argue that her story was true. She was taking a photo of him, he got angry and attacked her. Defense attnys are saying this is huge for the defense. I am wondering about this judge.

Ok then if camera guy is not testifying, why didn't the Defense rest? They brought the jury in for the stipulation, and they could have announced "The Defense Rests". I hope we don't have to sit through camera guy tomorrow.
Because that picture doesn't show shit. that is why. It doesn't show her holding anything. That doesn't mean that she had the weapons hidden in her clothes, she had plenty of time from that pic to when the killing started (5:29:20 to 5:31:14-pic of the ceiling) to get the knife and start the butchering.
I agree. That's my opinion as well. It's the only thing that makes sense. I suppose it really doesn't matter as long as there is no further testimony regarding the issue. But, I will be really pissed at Juan if this 'expert' gets up there tomorrow and spews his shit. Obviously Travis is still alive in the picture, and there's that other pic with Travis sitting down in the shower (which he also appears to be alive). I dunno...I just have to believe Juan got something rather substantial in return for this stipulation.
:o)
I have had a jury trial in my divorce case. I was suing my divorce attorney. You never know what the hell those jurors are thinking. Just gives them something more to look at, in spite of there appears to be just flashes of bright in the reflection.
Does this mean that the image with the drawing on it cannot be shown?
There is a minute 10 seconds from the Travis face pic to the sitting in the shower pic. That's when she got her weapons and told him to sit down in the shower.
Plenty of time. HLN makes a big deal out of everything, that's part of the reason for all of the fuckery this morning with the "misconduct" charges.
Let the defense think they have their "win", based on the time sequence between the close up of TA's face and the ceiling shot that leaves plenty of time for her to retrieve her knife, which I think she had in her purse or backpack beside the bathtub or in it.
