Jodi Ann Arias shot and stabbed her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander to death

[Harlette]

Whuuuuh? Take the babysitter and we'll forgive your $2K debt to us?

what???? i missed - had to go outside?

[Vanilla Ice]

I hate how she says "We had sex" and then gives Big Perm a semi-suggestive glance.

:
vanilla, as opposed to chocolate? had to say it. For those who have their "theories" of innocence: people dislike what she's DONE from day 1. We didn't KNOW her to "dislike" her. Apparently you have inside info we don't. Please, do share. Otherwise we have to form opinions on facts, evidence (forensic & circumstantial) & testimony, all tempered with some common sense

[Teeb]

They had sex in that tiny shower stall?

[beli]

its gonna have to wait until tomorrow

[zeebee]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY END THE DAY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Obs3ssion]

See y'all tomorrow.

[Harlette]

[CreepyGus]

All of this and the ONLY time she cries is when the pics of her vagina were shown in court!

[Trahnse]

Noooo!! I can't watch until late afternoon tomorrow! I'm gonna miss EVERYTHING!!

Is this directed at me?

[ambz]

If this photoshoot was about his "almost 6-pack" why are there no photos of his stomach in the photos from the camera?

He wanted photos to see how hot his body was...because he didn't own a mirror?

that was the worst "professional" photo shoot of his new sculpted body ever

I don't get the babysitter story.

It is a lie Travis told her so she wouldn't be upset with him taking Mimi. Or at least that's what she says to prevent the prosecution from using jealousy about the Cancun trip as a motive.

In her mind he was taking someone who was not a love interest and she did not care.

[Schpadoinkle]

The judge is having a sidebar with Wurmi and asking him if he's gonna speed the fuck up for this week.

[poppym]

This is torturous!!!

[Obs3ssion]

She told Nurmi that she never thought she'd be going to Cancun. Nurmi asked if he knew who Travis was taking, and she said T. told her he was taking his friends' babysitter because he owed them "$2K, 1-2K or a couple thousand dollars" and they would forgive the debt if he agreed to take the babysitter on the trip.

Well said, Ice, Ice, baby!

[Teeb]

NOOOOOOO. I have class tomorrow. Y'all are gonna have to keep a girl updated!

[bermstalker]

Vanilla Sex?? "You scratched them damn CD's" is a valid argument to killing somebody.

Late afternoon

Jodi is still on the stand. Nurmi is still up.( Here we go. Nurmi better NOT backup or I am going to kick him in his balls.)
EX 40- Picture of Travis' office.
EX 36- Office picture
EX 33- Picture of the punching bag

Waking up- they both had sex. They had sex more than once that day. Travis wanted to tie Jodi up. Travis had a smooth green & gold rope. (they had tired before but it didn't work out)
EX 268-part of the rope
EX 269-rope (gold rope)
The rope- Travis tied Jodi up with it. On the bed. His bed is a sleigh bed and they measured the rope and Travis cut it so the rope would go behind the headboard. Jodi didn't think it was unbearable, but not her favorite. Travis wanted to tie her up. Jodi is naked but Travis was not at the time he tied her up. He was wearing his temple garments. Just her wrist are bound. Travis gave her oral sex (oh the horror) State objects

The sex subjects are difficult to talk about. It's hard for Jodi b/c of how the day ended (you think?) Jodi allowed oral sex. Why? (duh,stupid question)now Jodi is trying to figure out how to word her answer. HAHHAHA Saying NO didn't cross her mind. She didn't want to disappoint him.

Jodi asked him to stop b/c he had not shaved. He did stop. They ditched the rope idea. It wasn't do anything for her. Jodi took her wrist out of it. He tossed the rope on the carpet. Travis cut the rope (before the oral) How did Travis cut the rope? One of his knives from the knife block in his kitchen. He placed the knife in the bathroom or nightstand. She doesn't recall which. There are a lot of gaps that day. A lot of things she doesn't remember. (of course)

They had regular sex and there were pictures. Vanilla sex?? (WTF) She actually called it vanilla sex. The vanilla sex was after the pictures were taken
Photos
The Braid picture with the saucer sized nipples. Travis thought it was hot.
EX 164- I think it's the porn ones. What a stupid idiot she was. That's what Jodi thinks about that picture.
There's no pubic hair-Why? Travis didn't like hair. She removed it at his request.
EX 165- Porn photos-Travis suggested all the poses. It was not her favorite part of the day.
EX 169- Travis was directing these poses. Travis was into it. She doesn't Know if she was happy making him happy.
EX 166- He wanted a picture of them having sex. He wanted Jodi to put it on a timer. She couldn't figure it out. (she' a professional)
EX 167- another attempt.
They had planned to make a video of them having sex. That's not why she went to Mesa to make a sex video. It was Travis' idea. The video was made. They used her camera b/c they couldn't figure out his timer. They deleted the video that day. These all occurred around 1-1:30 on the 4th. Jodi knew nobody was home (she is told to speak up by her attorney)

They have sex on his bed. Afterwards, they watched the sex video then deleted it. Jodi got in the shower. Travis went downstairs. Jodi gets dressed. She is starting to get ready to hit the road. The luggage went back in the car at some point. Travis was in the kitchen, then his office.

Jodi came downstairs. She was putting her stuff back in the car. His bedding was in the washer. She can't remember who put them there, but she thinks maybe her. They washed the sheets always after sex.

She's getting ready to leave. She doesn't remember the time. After the car is packed-what were you wearing-NO. I don't remember. Maybe a tank top and some pants.
She went into the office to chill with him. She had CD's. Picture CD's. They were scratched and he got upset. He put them in the CD drive. His computer had a virus. Jodi was laying on the floor next to his chair playing with the dog. The images were F'ed up. They were not coming up right. He tried another one. He's mad b/c they are scratched. The new CD does the same thing again. Travis' tone, movements and everything changed. He was pissed. Jodi had seen the signs before. He flung the CD at the wall. It hit Jodi in the head.
EX 36- The office.
EX 40- The office. She is showing where she was laying at.

Travis was pissed. Jodi was worried. Jodi thinks she did something stupid. The dog left the room and he always does when Travis gets mad. Jodi was tense. Jodi stood. She went to rub his back. Travis stood up. He bent Jodi over the desk. EX 40, again. He grabbed her arms. Spun her around. Travis was pissed off. Jodi was scared. He twisted her right arm and twisted it behind her back. She didn't feel pain. Jodi didn't say anything. She didn't want to piss him off.
He pressed his penis up against her butt. They were wearing clothes. Jodi doesn't recall if he said anything. He does a little grinding. Then he started pulling Jodi's pants down. He wanted sex. Jodi did want to have sex with him at the time. She was relieved b/c it was better than him being mad.

They had sex again. Travis pulled her pants down past her butt. He cums on her back-lower back. Jodi is saying she was willing to do anything to avoid a fight. She wasn't able to avoid a fight the rest of the day? NO, I was not able to avoid it.

After he cums on your back, do you feel used? A little bit when he said go clean yourself up. After-she stayed in the bathroom a few minutes. He was in his office. Bathroom downstairs is where Jodi was cleaning herself up. Jodi did not hear Travis in his office while she was in the bathroom. Jodi wanted to say goodbye to him and hang out now that he was in a better mood. They went upstairs to do more pictures.

Approach (judge) (the state was doing a lot of objections)

Nurmi keeps saying cumming on her back and the state keeps objection. HAHAHA. Nurmi is getting pissed.

Jodi just wanted to part ways on a happy note. No tears. Travis was calm when she went back to the office. They went upstairs to take pictures. Cancun trip-Travis wanted to win the trip. He was working out. He was 240 the prior summer. He lost a lot of weight. He wanted photos. Jodi was not going to Cancun with him. Jodi thought Travis was taking a friend's babysitter (hmmm, motive) Travis wore a body bug. Upper arm.

EX 167-The duct tape picture. AKA body bug
It was Jodi's suggestion to take the pictures of his body that he proud of. She wanted to make him happy. The pictures going to be taken in the shower. Her camera was packed. His camera was used so he could keep the photos. Master bathroom

Jury is dismissed for the day.

She hasn't done anything to make people like or believe her, apart from a few that believe her shit!

[marycontrary]

She's committed suicide today. Her testimony is so unbelievable. The whole thing makes no sense whatsoever. If he was such a sex freak, we would have had a dozen pictures of his dick. She was the freak in the room. The whole butt rape thing is pissing me off. Anal rape hurts and bleeds and you aren't okay when it's over. She better hope there are no real rape victims on the jury

[Vanilla Ice]

Is this directed at me?

No; Sorry, it's my 1st post. Trying to get used to this while watching trial. 1st part of my comment was meant as a joke re the sex

[Tenacious-G]

She told Nurmi that she never thought she'd be going to Cancun. Nurmi asked if he knew who Travis was taking, and she said T. told her he was taking his friends' babysitter because he owed them "$2K, 1-2K or a couple thousand dollars" and they would forgive the debt if he agreed to take the babysitter on the trip.

Yeah I had to run dowstairs cuz the goggies were cannibalizing each other. Thanks for the explanation.

[M Joy]

Figures. She's actually going to talk about the murder tomorrow. and tomorrow is the one day I'll be tied up in meetings at the office.

[Ian 1]

What do the French call it? Post coital [B]Tristesse?[B]The melancholy that sets in after an intense session of sex! You can see it in Travis languid pose in that first picture of him on the bed with his privates showing. I think Jodi caught him by surprise in that particular picture and it appears to me than he didn't like what she was doing. In the second photo, it looks like he's waving her off. It could not have been very long before Travis started to send out signals that he wanted the visit to end. What could more obvious than telling Jodi to get up and get off the bed 'cause he wanted to wash the sheets and probably that she'd better get going on up to Salt Lake. He stripped the bed, (she probably helped him, trying to hang on as long as she could), carried the bedding downstairs and loaded them into the washer. Travis went to his office to take care of some business or other, Jodi followed him and they soon did the dirty for the last time with Jodi bent over Travis desk. When that was over the wash cycle was probably finished and Travis loaded the sheets into the dryer. By this time he was long past the 'melancholy.' He probably told Jody that he wanted to go back upstairs to shower and clean-up while the sheets were drying and then remake his bed. It was most likely at this point that Jodi realized that Travis was calling it quits. It was over. Travis wanted her out of there. All of those same feelings she went through when she left with the U-Haul in April came flooding back--along with the fury. Travis went upstairs and climbed into the shower. Jodi got dressed, got the gun and the knife and the camera. She went into the bathroom and started snapping pictures of Travis in the shower without his consent (just like she used to do with the old guy she lived with in Palm Desert,) desperately trying to get him to play some more 'cute' games and elicit some reaction from Travis that she could read as a sign that he was not rejecting her. Travis probably got even more annoyed at what she was doing by trying to start the game up again and probably told her to cut it out and get on her way. For Jodi, that was the last straw. She put her plan into action and started stabbing. At one point, in confusion and disbelief, Travis probably said, "I can't feel my legs." That was probably at the bedroom end of the hallway when she was trying to stop him from escaping and to drag him back to the bathroom and perhaps encouraging him to go along with her. By this time Travis strength was almost at an end and he was desperate for help. Jodi was the only one there to appeal to. We've all heard of cases where victims in their extremis appealed to their murderers for help; they were in such shock that they couldn't comprehend what was really happening to them. It was either around here or after she got him back into the shower, Jodi slit Travis' throat.

Once Jodi got Travis back into the shower, she shot him in the head. Perhaps it was overkill on her part, but I think she did it principally to throw the police investigation off and give her a back-up defense and put some legs under the two Ninja story--one with a gun, one with a knife-- she had dreamed up in advance in the event the cops penetrated all of her subterfuges and somehow figured out she had been there. Jodi then gathered up Travis's clothes and his camera, deleted the pictures as best she could, set the latch on the bedroom door to lock behind her, went downstairs, threw his clothes into the washer, tossed in the camera, (trying to both destroy the images and to make it appear that the camera got into the washing machine be being accidentally mixed up with the laundry), doused everything with bleach, turned the wash cycle on, and high-tailed it out of Travis house.

Jodi's plan was thought out from start to finish. She just didn't execute it all that well. That spells cold-blooded, premeditated murder to me.

One of the most poignant images to me is Travis's cry, (according to Jodi and I think it's true except she inserted into the Ninja lie), his cry that he couldn't 'feel' his legs. Then we see those same legs in the autopsy pictures. Strong, well-developed, youthful legs that this monstrous creature sapped of all their strength in virtual seconds.

I brought this back up to remind myself, and those others who thought the same, this is how it really happened.
