That's fucking ridiculous Pattis friend lied and said she had MS. She has HEROIN BITCH all over her forehead. A chick I used to go to school with did heroin before class, and she had the same glazed over half open eyes. She feel asleep all the time and finally got kicked out of school.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Good.
If Jodi's mom is a witness, she is subject to cross examination and impeachment. In the videotaped interview with her just after Jodi was arrested, she said several very damning and damaging things about Jodi, and those could all be brought in by the prosecution. Also, I think it is possible that the prosecution could also bring up that Jodi's mom tried to sell the forged and inadmissible "pedophile letters" to the National Enquirer, to show what kind of a person she is and what kind of morals she does or does not have, so that the jury could determine how much weight to give her testimony.
Klaus Maria Brandauer = famous German actor. Just sayin'. So perhaps we are back to square one?
Were you crying when you were stabbing him? --SuperJuan Martinez
Nobody believes a word out of your mouth. Why do you keep talking? -- ABC Interviewer to JA
here is another part that you might find interesting, and I don't know if it was even brought up in court when talking about her supposed low esteem:
"Most importantly, for a period of approximately 10 days, Jodi acted as her own lawyer. She fired her defense team and decided that she, and she alone, would become the defense attorney. She went to court and acted as her attorney. Her life was on the line and though she had never gone to law school, she chose herself as the best attorney available. Is this someone with low self-esteem? Jodi was a high school dropout, with no life accomplishments, yet she believed that she was better equipped to represent herself in a death penalty case, than a team of highly skilled lawyers."
Here are a few things about her team's request to withdraw. It makes sense, I think:
from http://news.yahoo.com/emotional-day-...004642505.htmlLos Angeles-area criminal defense lawyer Mark Geragos said Arias' attorneys have a conflict of interest with their efforts to keep their client off death row and Arias' assertion that she'd rather die for her crime.
"It's not highly unusual," he said. "There are cases where defendants make decisions that they're better off on death row, but that puts the lawyer in a conflicted position. You've got a duty as a lawyer to bring the conflict of interest to the courts and disclose it."
Added Phoenix criminal defense lawyer Julio Laboy: "It would be something I would do in my major felony cases if I found that a client was actually working against me and not working with her defense."
From http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_1...-minutes-show/Her attorneys must convince jurors she shouldn't be executed. But during a closed-door meeting with the judge on Tuesday, Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott sought permission to withdraw from the case, the minutes state.
Defense attorneys told CBS News' Crimesider this week that working to save the life of a defendant who wants to be executed can be problematic.
"Usually, you're in lock step with your client where you're moving toward the same goal, but in this case...now you're no longer together," California criminal defense attorney Michael Cardoza told CBS News' Crimesider. "You're working at odds, and that makes the job very difficult."
In capital cases, experts say, the predicament is far from unheard of.
Regardless of what this says, does anybody really believe she wants to die? Nope.
Maybe someone here can explain why the supporters for JA claim to support her because it was based on domestic violence, WTF? How does one wrap their head around that, and honestly believe that this was justified? I am floored that these sick people honestly think the family are the sick and twisted ones. Coming from a family with domestic violence issues, it sickens me to see this crap. I applaud the Alexander family for saying what they said and dealing with this all the way they have. I would not have dealt with itthe same way.
After seeing pictures of arias' abode, I recall hearing that when a convict is transferred to the prison facility from the co jail, they cannot take personal effects such as letters, drawings, pictures, etc.,.. Someone will have to pick it up or it gets mailed. 5 years of junk will be a lot!

the theory that is talked about in that psychologytoday blog is a very common theory amongst parents of adult children who have the same behavior's as JA, with the exception of murder! No parent wants to believe that they brought a sociopath into the world, that their lovely cute little baby & loving child that they have so many beautiful memories of.......... it's heartbreaking and unimaginable for a parent to accept.
shes going grey huh?
"Were you crying when you were stabbing him? How about when you cut his throat, were you crying then?"
"The difference between a Stumbling Block and Stepping Stone is the Character of the individual walking the path"
I think the majority of Arias' supporters are uninformed people. They haven't read all the facts and they haven't seen all the evidence. As you stated, they have chosen to believe a lady who appears to be fragile enough to be abused. If they would read and research, I am sure their views would change. Unfortunately you cannot fix stupid ;)
I don't know very much about trials, but a prosecutor cross-examing mitigation witnesses sounds strange to me. It seems unfair to the defendant (legally speaking) to have the prosecution try to discredit friends or family over subjective things such as good memories or a prior history of good feelings toward a defendant. Who knows, though.
This writer makes very interesting points and, from a layman's point of view, she makes a very good case against a BPD diagnosis, and a very good case for an Antisocial Personality Disorder diagnosis. Very interesting...
I don't think Jodi is smiling at all in this example, or anytime the camera was on her today. I think she was crying and that she was very sad. (I'm not defending her, but I thought she felt very emotional today.)
I believe your right! I've read a lot of the posts over at JAII to try and figure out what makes these sheeple tick, there have been a few people that have posted very rational and lengthy explanatory posts in the hopes of enlightening their fellow followers on the truth but the sheeple masses pounce all over them and call them "haters" and to shut up! so they so & then go right back into sheeple mode! it's kind of disturbing! they refer to those that want justice for Travis as "haters" & "pedo lovers".......
Will Juan be able to show her post-verdict interview?
Okay, another mistake... in my last post I was replying to the video PopRocks posted, and I mistakenly didn't reply to the last quote I posted. Sorry for the confusion.
