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

[Sylvian]

It just brings tears to my eyes

[bermstalker]

That is something I don't understand.. how these people she is incarcerated with can believe her cock and bull story. They all held up signs saying "free Jodi." How mentally unstable they are. They must be. One look in her eyes and you can see the emptiness and cold within. She has been telling the story of his abuse to them and each one believed it. Hook, line and sinker. One has to wonder if that is for their own self preservation or if they are that stupid.

I don't ever want her to get out and hurt anyone else. I want Travis' family to find some peace that while they lost this man who was so great, kind and wonderful in their world, the person responsible will NEVER see the light of day again. This is what I pray for.

Didn't you know? All criminals in jail are innocent.

Truth be told, most criminals know more about the law than we do. My brother has spend a fair amount of time in and out of the system in his younger days. There's two things they have plenty of time for-weightlifting and learning. They usually have access to a full law library. They use it too. My brother said there is usually one or two guys in the system that are SUPER smart. You can go to them and they will help you with what filings or motions you need to do. My brother said you never wanted to depend on the appointed attorney




Question-If Jodi is found guilty, will she be tranferred to prison?
I take it she's just in the local jail, right? I suspect she may find prison living a little different than jail living.

When she gets found guilty, which is a given, yes, she will be transferred to a prison :D I'm hoping death row and if not, TENT CITY baby!!!

Okay, I have to admit, I got a little excited of thought she would be put in Maricopa Counties Tent City program, as I doubt, or maybe they do put murderers there, but fuck I would love to have her suffer there in the heat for LIFE Without Parole!

OOh now that's scarily similar. Just watched a vid about Wendi Andriano who was successfully prosecuted by JM. She even went the self defense route followed by the librarian look in court as well as giving the same treatment in court, being evasive and not giving direct answers. Sound familiar?!

He's seen this before, he's gonna do this!

THIS! I just had watched this too yesterday!!! LOVE this dude, he's legit!!

[Dimple blossom]

What I just adore about Juan Martinez, he has PASSION for what he does, it's not just some job he has. You can see it through his soul, the passion and justice he is seeking for people that have been murdered and who he is speaking for that he doesn't even know. I have so much respect for that man.

[I doubt it]

I may be remembering incorrectly but I thought that during the phone call he had agreed that he was coming to see her? He said that she was definitely on the top of the list of whatever things and places he needed to do. I wish that he would have had someone that he could have confided all of his secrets to so we could know what he was struggling with. I can't help thinking if he too was not worried about the judgement of others that he could have reached out for help in what he surely was beginning to recognize as a toxic situation that he did not know how to deal with.

That's probably how Jodi had her hooks in him so deep. If he was exposed he would have probably lost his standing in the Mormon Church. I don't know much about Mormons.

There's been a documentary on TV where a woman believes the Mormons are a cult brainwashing her man against women. So, she follows him when he goes on a Mission to England. She brings along 2 men friends and rents a cottage out in the country. They kidnap him and she ties him to a bed and rapes him for several days. It was a big scandal and in all the tabloids, especially in England. This was back in the 60' or 70's. So, the documentary been on the last 6 months or so. I think it's called "Tabloid" or something like that. Has anyone else seen it?

But the LDS are so strict about sex, especially involving their elders, and I believe Jodi knew this.
My husband wonders why Travis wasn't already married at age 30. He thinks his church would have been encouraging him to get married long before that. Just his opinion.

Prediction.

I think that she is going to continue being a snarky, smug, wiseass even though her DT has probably been telling her to cut it out. Although I love the look when she is painted in a corner. I wish there was more time for him to finish the point on "getting someone to lie for her"before the end of day. I don't like that she had the 3 days to sit and come up with a story for it. We all know she is going to spin some bullshit.

I think that Juan is going to methodically expose her lies. I know some people are kind of like but he knows what he is doing. He knows who and what he is dealing with. I agree that the coup de grace is going to be in closing statement.

Yes, I COMPLETELY agree with you Rockabillychick! I know JM was making connections to the magazines, and solidifying some good points about Matt...but I'm with you, I wish he would've wrapped it all up nicely, and left the jury with a sense that Jodi is very deceitful. Now like you said, she and her DT have had 3 whole days, to spin this in their favor, come up with some warped story to explain it all away. I also agree with Jinkasaurus that there won't be any big "A-Ha" or Law & Order moments where he busts out all this crazy shit and slams it in her face. I wish that would happen...but he will be methodical and take his sweet time with proving these points. You're right, he knows what the hell he's doing...and I'm sure he's had to cross examine beasts of her kind in his past... I have a lot of faith in him.

shitty video but this is what i thought of

HAHAHAHA!!! Good one!!

Mormon or not, irrelevant. She slit his throat almost to the point of decapitation, stabbed him almost 30 times (including his heart) and shot him in the face. Nothing about Jodi matters after that heinous murder. No justifications. All her lies, again, irrelevant to her heinous murder.

[I doubt it]

I completely agree with you. I think also she just uses words like "monogamous" and "spiritual" to sound smarter for the sake of just sounding smart. Case in point, when she was being cross-examined by JM, she kept saying the reason she confronted Travis about the make-out incident was because he was still "courting" her. Who freaking says that? He was still trying to date me. We were still in a sexual relationship. Sure. He was trying to "court" me?

Maybe she's been watching "Twilight"

I don't see how this could have ended in any other way than the way it did. She wasn't going to go quietly. For this to end differently she needed to meet someone who was superior to Travis but I don't think someone higher up the food chain would have given her a second glance.
I mean to listen to the sex tape between her and Travis you almost have to venture a guess that she was his first. I think this because he thought her vajay jay and her anus were good looking. The men I have showed it to have all said it is disgusting. That it looks worn out and used. She knew he wanted out, but she wanted him so badly she was willing to be this sex toy because she really thought that she could change his mind about her and realize that she was his "other half." What she didn't realize was that she didn't have him mesmerized by her 3 holes. He wanted more than she would ever become. She will never feel sorry for short-changing Travis of the life he should have had. She will only feel sorry for herself.

I compare what she did with Travis to a teacher seducing a student. He knew little about sex than what she taught him.

Did you see my post about Travis getting irritated with her while he was in the shower (thus his facial expression), but then he gets out of shower, and as he is towel-drying his hair (eyes covered with towel), she puts the knife into his chest. I believe the autopsy report shows that the main wound in his chest came from a slightly lower level.

For some reason, this scenario makes a lot of sense to me - it would be when he is close to Jodi, but not ready to defend himself, and as soon as she made the first stab, then all the self-defense wounds come in.

A theory that makes sense, at last!

[Dimple blossom]

Nooo lol her lies ARE relevant haha, I have sleepy eyes, my bad. Came out wrong. I'm tired.

I was replying to the question of Travis talking to someone to get help - nothing about Jodi - just her hold on him, why he let her in.

TO ALL THE LOVELY MEMBERS OF MDS:
What do you think this week will bring us... Do you think the predictions are true, that Jodi will be meeker acting tomorrow, lose most of that shitty smugness (courtesy of her defense team coaching her sorry ass over the weekend)?? Or do you think she's still got a fire under her ass for Juan...and will challenge him to the end? Do you think there will be waves of arrogance from her, with waves of apologetic, teary testimony? I guess we'll all find out tomorrow, I'm just curious about the predictions in here. You have all been spot on, this entire trial! you all!

I'm sure she'll start out trying to act like a meek little wallflower. How long will it last, that is the question!

I grew up with many of my Mormon friends (and other Christian friends) using the term courting. My circles overlapped with Travis', so maybe that was a regional trend? Common in religious kids at the least.

There you go spoiling all our fun with FACTS.

About PREDICTIONS. Last week a drinking game was proposed, taking a drink whenever JM said "Right" We could continue, but substituting soda, coffee, cake, whatever instead of liquor. (Actually, 1 cup of coffee makes me crazy these days)
Or we can try to predict when she cracks.
Any ideas?

Hi guys and girls. Been reading this forum for a couple weeks now, and finally decided to register. But I'm not one for much foreplay, so let's put it in already, right?

This case has been sticking in my head day and night since I read about it on Radaronline in January. I really feel like I have been this girl. Following a man around, hoping against all odds he would love me too, realizing it wasn't love and the ensuing heartbreak. The first day of trial I actually watched, I felt such sympathy for her, I cried that night thinking about it.

However, as the days went on, and the defendant took the stand, the sympathy turned to abject horror at my own naivety. Her body language screams to me (just a house mom, barely high school educated) that she is of course a liar, obviously a whore, and in the end but probably from the beginning, a sociopath. I am quite confident that unless half the jury is asleep, she will get the DP.

One other side note. I keep hearing on HLN that they want people to email, or call in their questions for Jodi Arias. But they have way too many commercials, so fuck 'em, I'll post my question here.

If Jodi could go back in time, ANYTIME, and change the course of events today, I wonder how far back she would go. That day? The day she met Travis? Her "abusive" childhood? I think her answer would be very telling.

Welcome. I personally don't think she would go back, she was obsessed with Travis, loved the kinky sex and I don't think she regrets killing him either. If she couldn't have him, noone else could.

[I doubt it]

I found this on Huffington, it shows TA's closet with a stool. I don't know when it was taken.
Maybe the closet was like a dressing room and may have had locks?

I agree. If anything she'd go back to the killing day to relive it (and make sure the camera didn't survive this time).

They both enjoyed the sex. Travis was a 30 yr old male letting his little mind rule his world. The phone sex tape proved he was no innocent in that dept. Maybe his legacy will be a warning to a few men, beware! If it acts like a nut, talks like a nut, it's probably not worth that piece of ass. Never know when it is just a free ride or death!
