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

Has anyone seen another photo of Jodi with braids besides these two? My husband and I cannot find any other and have a theory re the braids that has nothing to do with Travis thinking they were hot. We think the braids show premeditation, in that she did her hair that way to try and control her leaving forensic evidence (hair) behind. She couldn't wear a shower cap or hair net because that would have alerted Travis to her being up to something. So she had to think out of the box and came up with the braids. With this type of "do" even if Travis pulled her hair, she's thinking it stays in the braid, plus during sex, no hairs left behind either. She seemed weird when hearing from Flores that they had a hair recovered from the crime scene. We caught that during our first viewing of the interview after she was arrested, and it stuck out in our minds as a possible puzzle piece, because of her reaction. Since I have only seen two photos of her in braids, which contradicts her saying she wore them because Travis liked them, it seems weird. If he dug her hair that way, and she was trying hard to get him, then we should be seeing lots of braid photos from their travels, not just two....one day of murder....one a long time ago.

I don't know if anyone has answered yet, cause I am about 20 pages behind! But, Travis and Jodi did talk about the braids in their phone sex call, and he said that he loved them, or something of the sort.

So, while I agree it could have definitely been that she put her hair in a style where she thought it was was unlikely to fall out and leave evidence, we do know that Travis liked the braids.

I do think that she wore her hair that way before him though.

I haven't been able to watch a lot of the trial, but I am neglecting work in order to watch Jodi get her ass handed to her today.

Juan Martinez is expertly exposing all of Jodi Arias's self-serving 'euphemisms' into outright 'mendacity.' There, I said It.

[Its Me De]

I <3 Juan!!!

Look at the tendons in her neck tightening up while she is watching her video with Flores.

[phantompoet]

she was wearing her CRT ring while killing Travis? :ghost:

[Kristinella]

Ugh, CTR "Choose The Right" Mormon promise ring bullshit.

[Rockabillychick]

You can see her formulating her lie as she is watching the video....

[Chopstix]

Juan reminds me of Kermit the Frog.

[***JiLL***]

She's probably picturing in her mind right now all of the ways she'd like to slice and dice Juan.

nurmie is gettin ready to object I think lol

According to Beth K. and Mike on InSession, Jodi did not say she locked the bathroom door. Also they say she did not step on the bench, she said she climbed up using those shoe shelves close to the corner of the closet. Problem is, nothing is disturbed on those shelves.

(And an aside...Travis sure had a shitload of shoes! My husband has maybe 6-8 pairs.)

You mean the door from the bathroom to the closet?

If so, then yeah, it's even more unbelievable that Travis would go out of the bathroom, down the hall, and into his room, to the other side of the closet, rather than just opening the bathroom side and following Jodi.

Nurmi just pooped his pants....

Upon further research about "choose the right" I just realized that I sent my goddaughter a mormon precious moment. D:

[Harlette]

can he pull up the transcript of her testimony that she is changing right now?

[Chopstix]

If she is impeached, what does that mean? Would the jury be instructed to ignore all of her testimony?

It might be satisfying to see him get aggressive with her, but so far Jodi has held up well and frustrated a lot of his efforts.

I don't like the prosecution strategy here. Too emotional and disorganized.

here comes the journal

[raisedbywolves]

She looks a little less smirky now.

yes they can be given that choice

I think the disorganization is to confuse her and make her contradict herself/trip her up. If he follows a logical sequence she'll see things coming and have a chance to forumlate an answer. By going from one thing to another she likely won't even be able to remember what she had said 10 minutes before.

I like the prosecutions strategy over the defense... at least it doesn't seem to be long winded and completely pointless! (yet)

[raisedbywolves]

yes they can be given that choice

Can they also add perjury to her charges?

[BLue]

bitch's hands are SHAKING!!! like a chihuahua

She has. And this is genius to the prosecutions case. Once they call up the expert on battered women and domestic violence, according to Jodi's OWN WORDS, if she were a battered woman she would be visibly shaking in reaction to JM's examination. But she's not, she's almost confrontational back with him. So proof that the battered woman excuse/meek little Jodi was neither
