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

Nurmi would be wise to skip the redirect and move on to his "expert" witnesses. We'll just get more smugness perfect memory on redirect, and more dissembling on recross.

[songbirdsong]

every time my dad walks through the room he stops and does a martinez 'right' count. he just got up to 9 questions ending with 'right' in a row.

my whole family now punctuates every question with 'right'.

I keep wanting to say "Well, ma'am" like he does when the judge shoots down Nurmi's objections.

Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on our forum. Once Dimple blossom makes 50 posts an hour, the bomb is armed. If Dimple blossom's posts drop below 50 per hour, it blows up. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?

Toss it to taylorerenee

all day everyone keeps talking about how the defense gets re-direct and then the pros gets to cross-re and then there are all the other witnesses. i feel like this is going to go on for at least 3 more months.

does anyone else have a guess on this?

has there ever been an estimate of how long this will on on?

It was listed to April ........... and that was before Nurmi slowed the clock to a crawl. Nurmi is back up and then all his other witnesses, Juan's cross of them and then Juan's rebuttal, then closings.
Plus this is PartTime court! We have a long road to go yet imo.

Knowing she wrote it after she murdered him, makes is beyond cruel to me.

[Karlita]

I don't think he will. The pictures show it was only minutes from life to his death, she admits she killed him, so why tread into doubt waters.

I think he will, or I hope he does anyway. I believe he will use the pictures timeline in a collage and then go over what she says happened during that less than 2 minute timeframe from first photo alive to last photo dead and go over all the BS she spewed today of the events and will show it would be impossible for all that to happen in that short span of seconds.

Yep, rough day. Plus she's missed dinner. Also,
-that's a reeaaly tight skirt on lil miss Wilmott
-hatchet face Martinez cracked a smile!

I noticed Jodi was eating something at the defense table after she testified. Maybe someone brought her a snack (or a chewable Xanax).

[jingles]

I felt the same way about JM too... He didn't make her continue to read the text, he went on to finish reading it.

*tears*

[Jinkasaurus]

much thanks! DAYUM - that is ONE CREEEPY email to send to someone after you just murdered them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think she was swilling water around in her mouth, I noticed after she picked up a cup of water. Why she was doing that for so long I don't know. Day left a bad taste in her mouth maybe?

I don't see an advantage in it for either side. She's admited she did it. And, Juan got her to admit today, her version 5, Travis was dead / not moving right after she shot him.
We'll have to see what Nurmi comes up with for Juan to counter.

[smashie]

For real I was waiting 4 a juror to stand up in the middle of court like fuck it I cnt listen to this bitch ne more!

Lmao.... so was I ! I think I actually got a headache from watching her today.

I saw that too and wondered what she was eating. Toblerone?

I think he has to. I mean, personally, after today, I can't see how anyone would still believe it could've been self-defense. But it's a possibility that someone is still sympathizing with her on the jury. Especially after he crocodile tears today. It's important to show that no way in hell could things have happened the way Jodi said. They need to show that in less than 2 minutes, Travis' has had his throat slashed and is being dragged by Jodi.

What that also says to me -- that Jodi is dragging Travis -- is that the majority of wounds have already been inflicted by that point. He is either unconscious or conscious but very very weakened at that point. He had to have been, otherwise he would've been fighting back, or at least squirming and making the dragging that much more difficult.

[acertaingirl]

I wish Juan had thrown a Toblerone at her when he had finished

Agreed, I actually think that aspect is vital to completely disproving the possibility of self-defense. No stone left uncovered and all that jazz.

If it didn't matter, than why go through the whole story today?? To show that details of it didn't make sense and that it was off! Adding to that the fact that the ENTIRE scenario PLUS all the stabbing had to have taken place within 2 minutes proves that her claims of "never lying from the stand" are false. It proves that her whole story of self-defense does not work. And I think basing that around the hard evidence of the photo timestamps makes it a very poignant distinction that would be difficult for any juror to doubt.

Seeing what she did to Travis is heartbreaking. I can only imagine the pain his family is going through. All of this because Jodi thinks she will get out of jail young enough to marry and have children. She totally trashed his reputation. I pray this jury throws her in jail for the rest of her life.

Totally agree!
I think he'll bring it all home in closing and show that her story of events could not possibly have happened in self defense, but in an attack that started right at the last alive pic.

Well, she is used to getting candy after someone leaves a bad taste in her mouth, but we know she can't have toblerones in her brown bag.

First part of your response, I totally agree. I just cannot comprehend in less than 2 minutes he can be sitting in the shower stall and then being dragged back to the bathroom dead. He wasnt chasing her from the bathroom she was chasing him because he was running away from her and he was already fatally injured at that point. I feel he was running down the hall to get away and just started losing strength and maybe fell or stumbled down and was literally crawling into the bedroom when she grabbed his head back and slit his throat.
Second part, I think he was dead when she was dragging him back to the bathroom. If he wasnt totally dead he was pretty damn near checked out at that point. He had already been stabbed in the heart and 28 other stabs to his body and then almost decapitated. Doubt he was still alive after the throat slashing.

Exactly, I totally agree. Has to be hammered home right at the close.

Damn...a toddler kept me from watching the last 15 minutes of the cross...thank god for youtube!

Oh boy, Abe is coming up on Dr. Drew. Can't wait to hear what he has to say about today. Should be interesting.
