I've never seen photos like these shown on TV/news, In Session, or on HuffPo, Crimesider, etc. They're always blurred almost to the point where you can't see anything at all (I'm thinking, for example, of the photos they showed of the girl in CA who supposedly bound/hung herself over the rich guy's balcony after his son had fallen down the stairs and died a few days earlier). What is different about this case - or is this just a new direction the world is going in? Is it the fact that it happened almost 5 years ago, they figure enough time has elapsed that it shouldn't bother people as much? I just don't get it.
    I wondered this as well.
    I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to. - Donnie Darko

    My initial response to your previous post was going to be that he was a man so the thought of getting laid probably persuaded him to let her come over

    Uguhughugh. I do agree that when other people stress out that's when you realize it's serious and it gets scary. I just think of fingers coming off and tendons getting severed and I'm all like this:



    That fucking hand picture makes me shudder the most out of everything they have shown.

    I was only 4 and I remember saying "hey look" as I looked down and watched my top become soaked in blood whilst my elder sister screamed bloody murder

    Hands and heads are bloody. Was it determined they thought he died of blood loss?

    I think I recall the ME saying that. He said that 3 (I think) wounds would be considered fatal and that he bled out.

    It's like, he had a ton of other injuries that would cause him to die but the blood loss was primary.

    Getting stabbed in the heart makes me shudder. His poor family. This is too public, ya know?

    Having all of the crime scene pictures out there for anyone to see and total strangers combing through every little detail to speculate must be hard. Every time I watch the trial I think that the family must be so strong to sit there through everything and not leap across the divider and beat the shit out of Jodi. If it was my relative, I don't think I'd have the self control to sit there.

    I agree with that. Travis got a taste of the poon and didn't want it to go away. He was probably addicted to her in that way, which makes sense as to why he would keep letting her come around even though he knew she was a hot mess.

    Straight up. I couldn't hold it together and I would have thrown a chair at her fucking face by now. I know on the FB page they said it's open to the public and that they are trying to make it look like more people are on Jodi's side? I know we are supposed to be going to California next month. I don't know how long the trial lasts, but I would totally be creepy and sit on his side for a day to show support.

    I think she was a freak and would submit to whatever he wanted. He probably knew once he settled down with a "good girl" he wouldn't be able to do those types of things again.

    I saw Travis's sister trying to arrange for more people to go because she said they keep moving Travis's supporters over to the other side of the court with Jodi's supporters and it makes it look like he has less people there for him.

    I'm not sure either, but I think there were twenty deleted pictures total, most of them being pictures they both posed for in the bedroom. I'm not sure how many shower pics there were.

    I had a similar injury, and it did not hurt at all at first. It took a long time for it to start hurting, actually, and when it did, it was more of a throbbing pain. Travis would have been dead before he felt anything probably (of course I don't know for sure though). However, the psychological pain was probably immense.

    I think it's the "good girls" who are freaks.

    That's true. I've always heard "not to stick your dick in crazy" but they are the best in bed. I'm just a lapsed Catholic.

    Leapy: That's the post I saw. Why the fuck would they do that? It's so bizarre to me.

    Oh, definitely! That was pretty apparent when the defense's opening statement was all about the anal. She was really in it to win it!

    That makes me feel bad for his family too. I don't want graphic detail about anything my brother has done. Again:



    Catholic school wouldn't take me. What does that say about my behavior as a child?

    As someone who grew up Mormon I think this was part of it but I think the other part was - She was his first. He had never crossed that line before. In the Mormon church premarital sex is a BIG sin. Being pure is very important. I know from experience how guilty you feel when you cross that line. It is easy to rationalize going back to your first because you've already crossed that line with that person. You've still only been with ONE person. Its easier to tell a future spouse that you've only been with 1 person no matter how many times you've been with them. I think he was addicted to her.
    I'm not sure it makes a ton of sense to someone outside of the Mormon faith. Think about this when you talk to someone and the subject of sexual partners comes up. The number of partners is discussed not how often they had sex with each individual one. He knew he could have sex with her. And when he was feeling horny she was an easy person to call (no pun intended) I bet you any amount of money he felt guilty after each encounter they had but just couldn't resist giving in to her.

    My significant other got kicked out of Catholic school for running a Playboy trading/selling ring in 3rd grade. If we have a kid, it's going to be tough.

    I think that's probably easy to understand for anyone who was brought up in a religion that thinks premarital sex is a sin. LDS is not the only one.

    I'm not totally convinced Jodi was his first. I'm not totally convinced she wasn't either. My thought process is knowing premarital sex is a big deal in his religion, he isn't going to tell people he has had a sexual partner. I think if he felt that guilty, he isn't going to tell anyone. Even his best friend. I don't think we will ever know.
