godddddd i'm only on page 274 KILL ME JODI
I don't think Travis knew about half of the shower pics when she was taking them. I think he did catch her and told her to knock it off and that is where it could have started to escalate. Jodi wasn't a bad photographer, I can't see her purposely taking such bad pics.
Travis and Jodi were toxic to each other. I think that Travis might have led Jodi on a bit, by continuing to sleep with her. She used sex in order to get what she wanted, which was Travis' undying (no pun intended) attention. When she was finally desperate enough she made the decision to see if he was going to choose to have her, or if not, nobody would. She was on the wire with his Cancun trip coming up. That killed her. Mexico and an area not too far from Cancun is in the "1000 Places to See Before You Die" book that her and Travis read and were already visiting those destinations.
I think that when she didn't get the hint and probably stalker called him or harassed him of FB, he had to be harsh with her because he, like anyone would be annoyed. I've said some pretty mean things when I am annoyed or mad. I would hate to have those words used against my character in the case that something would happen to me. I think he had an unstable home life in his formative years and then was sucked into the Mormon religion which further stunts young adults from seeking out normal sexual experimentation. He deviated from it, but damn, he was 30 years old. His peers were already married off and he was the "old man" in the ward. Getting married at 20 years old helps those kids get their "feelings" out. Being celibate all though your 20's into your 30's? No thanks. It's bad enough they can't drink, smoke or swear.
Jodi's ex boyfriend got off easy because I don't think she ever really liked him a whole lot. He was just someone that could advance her in life. I couldn't imagine having a house with someone for 5 years, getting to know their child from when they were a baby and just taking off and washing my hands of them like I never knew them. That alone shows that Jodi has something wrong with her. I think she always did, but Travis is finally what made her snap. She's a pretty girl who always got what she wanted and Travis offended her and everything she thinks and has known by rejecting her.
Sorry for the TL;DR. Just some thoughts.
Agree.
Agree with this as well.
Nah, flashes are not always used. They really mess up pictures. I use my flash less than 50% of the time.
I have one sister I am really close with. I love her to pieces. She would never do this...if she did I would expect her to own up. I have another sister who makes really bad personal choices...she and I almost never talk and are not closeat all. I don't need to have her craziness and bad choices in my life and in my immediate family's life. I still love her, but don't know if I could if she did what Jodi did.
Exactly. I have a really great camera that I barely know how to use. I'm always tinkering with getting good shots.
I don't debate the shower pics very much because I don't think it makes much of a difference. He either posed for the pics or she someone snuck in and took them. Doesn't affect the case much either way.
Having said that, I strongly feel that he posed for the shower pics. That the pictures were crappy can be explained many ways. She might just take crappy photos.
What I think is this...she was so hyped on adrenaline knowing what was coming next she couldn't focus on actually getting great shots. I think this because I believe that she premeditated the murder. She lured him into the vulnerable position of being naked and wet in the shower to make it easier to get the jump on him. If you look at all the shower pics, you will notice that they are taken from different angles. Some are straight on, some appear to be taken below and above the subject. Some seen to be taken more to the left and some more to the right. I don't think all these angles can be had from a sneaky position around the corner or whatnot.
But, again...doesn't really affect the case either way.
i actually really agree with this. crazy girls are crazy. you have to be extreme to get your point across. i know too, that they can usually get a guy in bed, no matter how often he says he's not into them. guys are just built that way. i imagine it's even harder when you've tapped it before and it's good. even more so when you know that if you're not tapping that, you can't/won't be tapping anything else.
i see it that way as well - as a mormon trying to be better and stronger in his faith, he's not actually trying to notch up his bedpost. i think once he ended the jodi affair, he'd go back to being celibate and that must've been a really hard decision and strong motivator to continue with crazy..
Hahaha, been there, don't that! The 12 days ff of trial helped me catch up. :)
I agree with you on everything except the sheer pics. (But, that isn't really a big favor in the case, in my opinion.)
Oops...should say "somehow"

I am here because I know Jodi Arias from when we worked together at Denny?s Restaurant in Yreka, CA?back in 1997-2001. I still live here in Yreka, CA but I haven?t seen Jodi since our Denny?s days almost eleven-and-a-half years ago now. I know for awhile she lived in Medford ,OR & worked as a food-server at Apple-bees. The last time I tried to reach her was sometime between 2006-2007 when I talked with her sister who told me she (Jodi) moved to Monterey, CA. Anyway, the next time I see her was 2 or 3 days ago now?on the news being tried in a capital murder case?Holy S**t!!! That?s what went through my mind at first?then OMG blonde hair does not suit her one bit?where is that sweetheart of a young lady hat I used to know? I don?t know when or where it took place exactly, & I still continue to view Jodi as a friend, so don?t get me wrong here in what I am about to say! At some point in the years since I last actually spoke with or interacted with Jodi, she became possessed by ore than one evil entity?she tells different stories & changes her story as another entity takes over?these people she refers to as a 3rd party are actually how she as another person recalls things from her memory of it through the eyes of that or the other entity?when she refers to being lost?she truly was?because she was taken over by a very powerful entity..the one that is strong is quite evil, in the sexual deviant sort of way?and quite capable of murder because it gets off on it!! Please don?t look at me like I?m crazy!! I see the torture behind Jodi?s eyes?I remember her to very much a sweetheart of a young lady 12 years ago?she had a glowing smile & spirit that I don?t see in her now!! 12 years ago Jodi was radiant & even more beautiful than she is now? ow it?s just face vale beauty & nothing more?12 years ago SHE WAS GORGEOUS!!!! She has lost the innocence in that beauty?no pun intended here!! I am sorry?very sorry to imagine that Jodi will spend the rest of her life in prison?whether she gets the death penalty or life in prison?she will die in one of those horrible places?and that makes me very sad!! Jodi is extremely intelligent & talented?I feel to lose her in the system like this is a horrible waste!! I really want to send her some letters of encouragement?if anyone knows the inmate information and the address to send it to, please email me at: [email protected]
Thank you! Sincerely, Gayla Ann Lynch / [email protected]
I absolutely agree that girls are on a different level of crazy. I was crazy. Now I'm too lazy to put forth the effort.![]()
Sorry, my phone took away paragraph breaks when I copied/pasted. And it won't let me edit.
Oh...don't even get me started on you two!!
I do jest..but for reference for the both of you...I went to the University of New Mexico for my bachelor's degrees one in Criminology and one in Art History. I completed my Master of Science in Counseling at University of Phoenix and now I am back at University of New Mexico for my Doctorate PsyD. Notice I did not abbreviate!!!
Thank you for fixing that, animosity!
Sorry to bring the penis pictures up again..But to me it looks like the picture was taken upside down. Or the guy in court is holding it upside down.
Look at it. You can see his legs, and I also think you can't hold your hand that way if it wasn't upside down. Because of the upside down thing, it looks like this penis isn't hard. If that's the case, it can't be TA's penis. His one was pretty small compared to this one. And I also think it looks like an African American guy. TA was really pale. Bad lighting, maybe. But that doesn't explain the difference in size.
Compare it to the other picture:
Doesn't look like the same penis to me. It looks thinner. I think this one could be TA's.
I can't believe I stared at those pictures for a couple of minutes and now explaining what I think I see. It doesn't even make a difference if it's his or not lol.
I've actuallly thought about it many times...it's not a pleasant thought but in reality someone has to have the guts and brains to do it. No, on that note...Im really thinking Jodi is getting inadequate defense and that they are just doing what is minimally required of the defense to do which could lead to many appeals in the long run.
her parents own their own restaurant - i wonder why they never hired her? - her brother works there
