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

[Crazy Lady]

I actually did this at one time in my life. When I was a teenager I had a journal and wrote all kinds of crazy things in it. I read it as a 20-something, got embarrassed by my teenage angst and drama and then destroyed it. I regret it today.

I wish mine was from when I was a teen, I would laugh at what I thought was life ending. I keep one now.

she sent flowers to the grandmother of the person she killed, that's mafia shit there damn

Right? The Iceman cometh.

Also, the reason I think she drinks her water like a robot is so the jury can see her alleged jacked up finger. If she was to pick it up like a normal human being, her ring finger would be on the judge's side, not the jury's side of the cup.

My live feed is on a delay. She's just now talking about how in her journal she writes that she wishes she would have made different decisions.
I'm sure Travis wishes you'd made different decisions too, Jodi.

Yes I noticed she ended that little segment by saying "we would all be in different places now". Meaning not at her murder trial right?
I get the feeling she was planning on killing him in March!

Who is the brother with the black hair who never takes his eyes off of Jodi? She should definitely be afraid of that man- I have never seen such pure hatred on anyone's face. Not that I blame him but I have noticed he never flinches, never looks away from her, doesn't seem to blink.

I got a journal as a kid for a birthday present. I would constantly tear out papers as I wrote because even then I realized how lame my life was and how I had no desire to revisit that shit at any point in life.

Wowwww. By sending gma flowers she just wanted to further push herself away from being implicated. Cold blooded.

couldn't agree more. i don't think this line of questioning is doing anything other than making her look more cold and calculating. she's got to explain why her own diary doesn't contain anything to corroborate her story and why she chose to send flowers to the grandmother of her murder victim? wow. still not seeing the abject terror and fear for her life.....

I think his name is Steven. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I know it's not appropriate, but he's definitely a cutie.
His lip is always up in a snarl. I keep telling hubby it looks like he's smelling a fart.

[smurfy]

This has convinced me to destroy my journal. Unlike Jodi, I write things that upset me. It's got to be burned.

I kinda thought that was the point of a journal. I mean.. not JUST the bad stuff, but you write down the stuff that you wouldn't necessarily talk to people about. I don't understand keeping a diary full of BS, why lie to yourself?

[I doubt it]

Steven looks especially angry today, the whole family does. It's time for Jodi to get off the stand.

What did Jodi just say to get a 5 min recess?

ETA:

Nearly 5 min sidebar ends & #JodiArias asks to have a word w/ Nurmi. #Arias judge calls 5 min recess

I get that abnimission (sp?) is telling the jury to remember not to discuss the trial with the media, all their other rules, etc. but what is the spelling of it or the exact definition? I has a dumb. Blame school.

In this world of Metaphoric Speech, we are (most of us) struggling to think of something to which we can compare this demented, execrable character Jodi Ann Arias. I said it earlier on this thread, about 500+ pages ago, but feel like repeating myself after seeing and hearing the proceedings yesterday and this morning. In September, 2006, this trollop hitched a ride to Las Vegas where she met the naive Mr. Travis Alexander, and proceeded to destroy his life by guiding him down roads she had traveled in her short and dissolute existence that Travis Alexander didn't even know were on the map. Jodi Arias is a seasoned moral degenerate that guided Travis to his tragic death and she is the instrument that ended it.

Now! Ask me what I really think.

Wowwww. By sending gma flowers she just wanted to further push herself away from being implicated. Cold blooded.

i still think she thought she was going to get to play the poor almost widow, trye love of travis' life and would be the center of every ones attention - guess she didn't realize every one hated her s much

Also, the reason I think she drinks her water like a robot is so the jury can see her alleged jacked up finger. If she was to pick it up like a normal human being, her ring finger would be on the judge's side, not the jury's side of the cup.

luckily she has forgotten and straighten that finger wa to many times already

It's admonition. It's a warning.

[Jinkasaurus]

Anyone else wish a sinkhole would open up right under Jodi's chair right about now?

[phantompoet]

nurmi's tie looked extra psychedelic today

[tiggrrl72077]

Private like in the Catholic Church, or would the bishop be calling in Travis about his ministry?

You are right, The bishop would have contacted Travis to ask if it was true or not. Travis would have been given the opportunity to confirm or deny it.

ADMONITIONA fancy word for caution or warning.

I was just about to post this same thing. Jodi should be afraid of him. I would be!
I don't blame him one bit either.

ETA: I made mention of him staring Jodi down in my recent "Dear Diary" post. Instead of having her be afraid, I had her thinking that Steven was attracted to her. NOTHING could be further from the truth of course!

i think i might love you.

She is so damn disrespectful.....I had noticed that when referring to Detective Flores...she always said "flores"..never used his title.....NOW...she refers to Juan Martinez and she calls him "Juan".....besides being a lying murderer I just hate the person that she is

[AnnieBelle]

In my humble opinion, Nurmi needs to get her off the stand. At this point, I believe the only purpose this testimony is serving is to highlight that Jodi DID have the freedom of choice. She gave it conscious though. She pondered it. She had free will, and there was nothing holding her back. The "abused and manipulated" version of her defense claim has long ago vanished. I feel that the longer she's on the stand, the more apparent it is becoming that their original defense has been pretty much nullified. She is digging her own grave, and I believe she is almost through to China.

[Harlette]

so what was the objection and the 5 min recess about??

[Artemis]

I can't stand Arias's legal team either...but to their credit, they don't really have much to work with.

Exactly. I don't hate them because they represent Jodi - someone has to. I just think they're quite dull. Not even attempting to watch redirect.
