Maybe the juror thought they had their own backyard fight club or something

I love how the judge always says "we will start promptly at..."
I don't think she knows the real definition of "promptly"
My boyfriend I are the same height. I use that trick all the time when we take pictures, I stand in front of him, bend my knees a little bit and lean to him. That makes him look taller.
But then this one and a few others she looks only a bit shoter:
Besides the question about UFC I quite liked the questions from the jury.
Here are the juror questions:
What is ufc fight night?
A: UFC fighting championship. Every time T. would have a big fight night, pot luck food, etc. and it was a big party for everyone to hang out.
Were the arguments between T. and J. any different than arguments between other couples?
A: No.
Were they normal with respect to the way they fought from your experience?
A: Yes.
Did you ever see T. hit J. or be abusive?
A: No.
Aside from Jodi were there others from both groups not included in Travis's parties?
A: My sister on occasion, Aaron who was a roommate...
Did you ever hear T. call J. names?
A: No.
Did you ever see T. physically harm J?
A: No.

Welcome!
I hear ya!I love how Dan is creeping in the background of both pics, haha.
I think so too. I really think she wasn't that much shorter from him. I see more of a difference between my bf and I and I could totally take his ass on in a death match.
Ugh, this means I have to go to the grocery store now that it's recess...and its snowing. Yay Indiana weather.
I don't know if this was on purpose but,
Welcome Eagle!
Dogs are a good judge of character. Hold a picture of Jodi up and see if your dog snarls.

I said this before...Nurmi ALWAYS thinks he has to follow up...either he is a complete control freak or he is just trying to milk his paycheck ($225 per hour, paid by public defenders office.)
Either way, I find it annoying!
Day 3 of Defense.
Jodi is wearing black
Daniel Freeman (brother of Dess and friend of Travis) is first up on the stand. Defense up first.
Dates were wrong from yesterday. Dan fixes them. He lived with Travis when he returned from his mission. More talk about church stuff. Info about becoming a member of the church. Dan loves to talk about church. Lots of talk about how to baptism somebody. Travis was an elder in the church. Dan was not present when Jodi was baptized.
Trip- Travis and Jodi were acting as a couple? YES. Do you recall behavior with them being a couple? YES, except when we stopped to eat, while there Travis made a joking comment to the waitress that he was not dating Jodi. He was flirting with the waitress. Jodi was sitting there. Did you think Travis was dating Lisa? NO. Dan noticed no tension on the trip beside comment at dinner.
Did you become aware of a time they were no longing dating? YES. Fight nights and Jodi was not there and Lisa was. I was aware that Travis was still hanging around Jodi. Did you know of Jodi and Travis taking trips together? YES. Balloon festival and church history tour.
Approach (Judge) after Big Dude ask if Jodi just joined the Mormon faith to hang out with Travis. Juan objected.
Dan hung out with Jodi without Travis? YES. Jodi also hung out with Dan?s family. Jodi helped the Dan?s foster sister with photography. They talked a lot about faith and church. Dan doesn?t feel Jodi was lying about being Mormon and the faith. Dan became close with Jodi? YES. (LOL) Did you ever have a romance interest in Jodi? NO, she became a sister.
Jodi moving to CA-Still talked to Dan. Hung out at Dan?s house. Did you make contact after Travis died? YES. Dan called Jodi to tell her about Travis? death. Jodi was silent on the phone. She started to cry.
Def finish
Cross-State: You don?t know Jodi?s motivations when she was baptized? NO. Did you know Jodi was having oral sex? NO. They are not ready to be baptized, Dan said.
Jodi began to cry? Babble is what Dan said to describe Jodi. Where you close with Jodi? YES. Did she tell you she killed Travis? NO.
Travis had to talk with Jodi? YES about breaking up. Then Jodi moved to CA? YES.
Backpack-was full of Jodi?s things? YES. Way to heavy. Dan took stuff out. Not Travis. Jodi became upset. Did she have any other reason to be mad? NO. Dan removed makeup, lotion, hand sanitizer, hair things. 10-15 pds worth of things. Jodi went upstairs after Travis made a comment. Then Jodi became emotional. They were upstairs for 20 minutes before Dan went upstairs to get them. Quite during the drive. Finally they calmed down.
Hammocks and sleeping bags. Dan noticed more tension between Jodi and Travis. They had words but Dan didn?t hear what they said. 1 ? hours before they joined Dan and Dess. Poor Dan didn?t have anybody to invite other than his sister at the time. Travis did NOT want to be alone with Jodi which is why Dan would go (Dan said this)
Travis was about 5 8. Dan is 6 2. Travis was not fat, but fit. Jodi was a little taller than Travis
Redirect
Dan being a chaperone for the trip- Depends on who you talk to if it was because of the ?church? rule. No sleeping in the same room. It?s better if you have more people traveling with you? YES. Did Jodi force her way on the trip? NO.
Travis fitness-Worked out regular? YES. Was he strong? YES. Punching Bag? YES. Powerful punch? YES.
Oral Sex? Position in church? Being worthy of being in high position? NO they would not be worthy. (I guess they are saying Travis had a high position in the church and he was breaking the rules that made him not worthy if others would have known about the sexual stuff Travis was doing) Travis could have been kicked out of the church? YES.
Entire time you know both Travis and Jodi-Was Jodi stalking Travis? NO, but I heard from others. Jodi was confused about her relationship with Travis. Dan never saw any stalking. Dan thinks Jodi loved Travis. (Objection from state a few times, then question is reworded) Dan then states Jodi loves Travis but was confused about her relationship with Travis.
Jury questions (hope I can get them all)
What is UFC? Duh (worst question ever)
Arguments any different than any other couple? NO
Did Travis hit Jodi? NO
Were People were excluded from group nights besides Jodi? YES, my sister and another guy (didn?t hear name)
Travis Call names to Jodi? NO
Harm Jodi? NO
Follow up Defense
Explain UFC? Mixed martial arts. Brutal fights
LUNCH
Welcome! My doggies keep me company watching the trial too! And they ALWAYS agree with me! ;)
Been lurking and finally jumping on. I knew both Travis and Jodi casually. To clarify, from the times I met and spoke with Jodi, I recall her being about my same height or close. I am 5'7". The grand canyon pic is on uneven ground, so that's hard to judge by. I have been pretty obsessed with this case since day one because I knew them both. To this day, I still remember my shock when I heard about Travis, and more so when I heard about Jodi. I had really liked her and she is very likeable in person. But I really hope she gets first degree because it is obvious she planned this, tried to cover it up on multiple occasions and the killing was beyond brutal!! That's no self defense. And while I didn't particularly like Travis (came across as arrogant, cocky and like a player - which I now know is true - so I wasn't interested), he sure as hell didn't deserve anything CLOSE to such a horrific end. So sad!
There are a few Facebook friends of mine who are mormons and they love visiting the prison, so it doesn't surprise me that the Freemans go visit Jodi. Maybe they're trying to help save her soul from the pits of hell. Welcome new MDS members!
A friend of my Mormon co-worker has competed in the UFC (not a big name guy or anything...).But he watches violence!!! Therefore he cannot be a good Mormon!!!
Welcome!!! and thanks for your input!!
so.... did i miss the defense?
Welcome!!
Welcome, Chelsey... It seems Jodi must be very likable in person. It's actually true of lots of sociopaths--they're quite charming in person (but it's just a persona--they convey who they think people want them to be).
Yeah, I don't get that. I have no desire to go visit someone in jail! There is a couple here that was arrested and AZ is planning to try them for Murder 1 because they locked a little 10 year old girl Amy in a footlocker and she died. They were the kind of people that tried to go to the church in hopes to get money, and many of the members tried to help them (not financially for various reasons, but by donating things). They actually kept writing to the ward trying to get visitors in jail. I knew them fairly well and I don't think you could pay me to go visit them after discovering all the horrible tortures they put this girl through. Man, I know three people being tried for Murder 1 - how the hell did that freaking happen?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? WHAT?!?!?! (I may be a bad person, but I have no desire to "save their souls" or Jodi's - they deserve the pits of hellx10!)
Thanks for the welcome!!! :)
Welcome!
OMB if one more person calls her jodi Alexander I'm going to.....I don't know... It's pissing me off.
