The semi-automatic is the kind prone to jamming. This is the kind with a clip full of bullets, not the rotary kind. In order to shoot it the first time you put the clip in, you have to do 2 things first: 1)take the safety off and 2)cock the gun by pulling back on the barrell to get the bullet up into the chamber to be fired.
Jodi probably didn't know any of that and that's why the gun wouldn't fire the first time she pulled the trigger.
The other kind, the rotary kind, you just point and shoot, and are much more reliable.
So it is plausible that Jodi tried to shoot Travis and the gun jammed. And maybe she really believes she killed him in self-defense after that.
This trial is driving me crazy. I was watching some of the videos this morning. Nurmi takes forever to ask a question. It's not just with Jodi, it's everyone. He's terrible, besides being a disgusting pig.
