Interesting point of view, Jose believes Stabby's mother was trying to help her escape from the police before she was arrested.....

IMO JA's mom never would have mentioned the gun to the cops if she wanted to help her get away. I dont think she would have been so negative in the interrogation tapes if she was trying to help her either.
I think it is a mothers natural instinct to protect her own. I don't think it is bad that she is supporting her. She is, after all, still her mom. I would be devastated if my daughter ever did something like this, but I would still love her and want to be there for her.

#Jodiarias brief in Support of motion for surrebuttal
Factial Backround
Over the defense objection, this Court allowed the state to present evidence via Dr. J aneen De Marte regarding Borderline Personality. The state failed to present any evidence of personality disorder in its case-in-chief. The defense presented no evidence regarding Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) during its case-in-chief. During argument the state pointed out that the defense witness, Dr. Richard Samuels testified during questioning that at one point early in his evaluation, he questioned whether BPD would be appropriate. No further questions about BPD were asked. Dr. Samuels did not testify to his reasons why he ultimately did not diagnose BPD. During the state's rebuttal testimony, the state was allowed to delve in depth into Dr. Demarte's diagnosis of BPD. She testified about BPD in general, the traits commonly associated with BPD, and why she believed that BPD was an appropriate diagnosis for Ms. Arias. The state claimed that it was proper rebuttal to the defense expert's diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). However, PTSD is not a personality disorder, so the state was not rebutting a diagnosis of one personality disorder over another. On cross exa.tnination of Dr. De Marte, defense counsel presented her vvith her own testing scores that support a PTSD diagnosis and do not support a BPD diagnosis. However, because the state did not introduce this evidence in its case~ in-chief, defense is unable to counter the state's witness and is left with Dr. DeMarte's inexperienced opinions that are in complete contradiction to defense expert's opinion
LEGAL ARGUMENT The purpose of surrebuttal testimony is to explain and rebut new evidence allowed in the state's rebuttal case or to impeach the evidence presented in rebuttal. State v. Steelman, 120 Ariz. 301,585 P.2d 1213 (1978). If a court allows new evidence to be introduced in state's rebuttal, a defendant should be allowed to introduce contradictory evidence in surrebuttal. State v. Young, 116 Ariz. 385, ii I ::~ 569 P .2d 815 (1977). Furthermore. surrebuttal should always be allowed when it is meant eSJ)ecia!l? to counter new and uncontradicted evidence put on b?y the prosecution in its rebuttal. People v. Martinez, 181 Colo. 27,506 P.2d 744 (1973). ~ l;; ~ ~ 15 Surrebuttal evidence should be allowed when it is not cumulative. State v. ~ < ~ 3E ~ 16 l7 Talmadge, 196 Ariz. 436, 999 P.2d 192 (2000); State v. Jensen, 153 Ariz. 171, 18 179, 73 5 P .2d 781, 789 ( 1987). The evidence that the defense seeks to admit is not cumulative. Rather it is directly related to Dr. De Marte's diagnosis of BPD and her own testing scores of Ms. Arias. No such evidence has been previously entered
CONCLUSION Therefore, Ms. Arias by and through defense counsel undersigned hereby notices her surrebuttal witness and requests this Court to allow surrebuttal evidence for the foregoing reasons
....and from that information, it's easy enough to step into Travis's shoes at that moment and let go of all the restraints that were part of his character and, uncharacteristically, just explode. Travis treated Arias as though she was his most intimate confidante then suddenly came to the full realization that she was nothing but a destructive alien presence in his life! To his detriment, he couldn't maintain that view for more than a few days. When his inherent character took back over, he allowed his natural disbelief in the possibility that devils like her actually walked the earth to re-establish itself within him. He opened the door to her a few days later and that was the end of him.
You can see from his writings about his mother that he perceived harm as coming only from persons affected by some externally induced phenomenon. The evil was the drugs, not the mother. He lived with that conviction and it served him well. The concept, revealed in his e-mail 'rant' with Arias, that someone could be perpetually and inherently evil to the core was alien to him and not one he could sustain. In a nutshell, Travis was unable to surrender his belief in the essential goodness of people. A perfect target for a Psycho! Even while Arias was murdering him, Travis manifested his disbelief in the presence of pure evil by turning to her for help.

Defense has come out of chambers, Flores, Juan and Steven went back in to chambers. Spectators were just let in
I'm really hoping for a productive day today. One day closer to a verdict. I think JM should call Jodi one last time to have her remind everyone how smug she is and how she truly believes she's a victim.

Has anyone seen the seal yet? All I've got is a black screen on the feed.
Some commentators have said that I don't talk to Jodi. Fuck yeah, I don't. I pee standing up and I value my house, my BMW, and my life way too much to risk it!
I also have some other reasons.
1. My boy Gus called dibs. I don't know why, but he called it. Bro Code. I can't violate that. Bros before hos, everybody knows.
2. Mrs. N. She told me it's a no fly zone. The future mother of my children, the woman who put a ring on it. She makes the rules. I am 100% taken and a business hug could send the wrong message. Just ask Abe Abdelwhatever.
3. A certain Mormon husband and wife team at a certain company. I got an email from them warning me to stay away from that woman. I do what they say.
4. Attorney client privilege. I'm privileged to be an attorney and I just don't want to talk to her.
5. She might tell me the truth. What would I do then? I'm not sure I would recognize the truth at this point, and there is only a small chance she would tell it, but it's just safe lawyering to shield myself from that possibility.

I hope he doesn't show up at all, much less in a sport shirt and tie, that is WRONG!
Also, JW ought to try some soft curl in her hair, I am tired of the scarecrow look!
THis is one week after they became official? What was she referring to that was troubling him?
Love the Spanish! Yeah, I'm actually back on the 4th but I am going to request the Monday after off so I can go. Are you saying you would go on the 6th as well? I might even think about the full day but you know what that circus looks like at lunch
