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

[elamir]

I missed some of toerags testibalony....but did the skank question come from left field or was it about something Jodi said on a prior day?

[AnnieBelle]

What was most obvious to me was that the majority of their questions were inquiring why Jodi did not choice the more sensible alternative to each particular situation. That tells me that they are not quite buying her story of events as she has testified. I really REALLY think this is a good sign in how the jury has viewed her testimony. I'll bet that Nurmi is thinking it may have been the better choice to NOT have her take the stand. She has no defense.....she had a million chances to retreat and get away from him. No one forced her to put up with his "abuse and meanness." Guilty as charged, 100%.

When/where was Travis shown talking about a near death experience with Jodi in his lap?

MJoy posted this yesterday.

Wow welldone Bermie!

[eliqueang]

Just wanted to share this. My cat is being very patient but even he's giving the side ear to her BS.

[denn]

I believe she got him to agree to pose for shower pics. She lured him into a sitting position (that's last pic of him alive).She then reached in and stabbed him in the chest. He managed to escape shower, was standing at sink, she's stabbing in back and head, shoots him in head. He staggers down the hall, she can't believe he's still alive. He falls on all fours, she grabs him by back of head and reaches under and slits his throat. I think she waited to use gun until she had to use because, Damn It He Just Wouldn't Die

I think if that had been the case, he would have busted out of the shower and perhaps damaged the door. I think she knew his routine. Get him to pose in shower. AFTER that, he dries his hair. Best time to get him. It would have been very easy to have hit her in the face if she was bending over to get his chest.

Recess

I agree! The skank question was the best!!! Sounds like something we would ask!

[Jadedmile]

Now I'm wondering if the reason Jodi shot him in the temple, is because of his story of the holdup! She's creepy enough... Uuughh, and I feel creepy for even THINKING of it...

[denn]

Will she really tell how she got him after this is over??

[marycontrary]

ps - I don't wanna throw anyone under the bus, but um...

Sharon Crabtree Peterson = cheating
Casa Ramos = doesn't fill out forms for employee injuries
Matt McCartney = owns unregistered guns
Travis Alexander = likes spidey undies and kids

Who is next?

Don't forget Shantain Lay (however it's spelled)..I wouldn't want my name associated with any of it

[M Joy]

when did she ever write travis was obscenely mean to me in her journal - she jus keeps making things up on the fly!

I noticed that too. I wonder if she brings up new things, can they be then introduced into evidence later? i.e. Jodi stated she wrote that "Travis was obscenely mean to me" in her journal.
Of course that could mean he was getting upset with her because of her B.S. or any number of things!

[ImBatman!]

Im still LMAO at the skank question!

[Ian 1]

What were we saying on this thread, over many weeks, about the dignity of the People of the State of Arizona? These jurors are proving our point. Bless 'em.

[Poppycock]

wait - she said they started carrying water and gas cans when they moved to palm dessert because it was so hot - wouldn't the gas cans blow up?

Thankfully the jurors live in Arizona and know she is full of shit on that one. There are gas stations everywhere just like anywhere else. I doubt any on the jury carry gas cans full of gas on road trips. Water maybe, in case you break down.

I thought i heard her start to answer a question about what was happening after the gunshot that was going to expose her 'blackout' lie when Juan objected, and she started over, correcting herself. dammit.

[GuiltyasSin]

Wouldn't suicide be considered homicide in the eyes of "God" in most Christian-based religions?? I am not certain how Mormons feel about suicide but I know most Christian based religions consider suicide a homicide so then if that is the case then she still wouldn't be innocent in the eyes of God and that little theory she had is a FAIL!!

It is creepy but actually she shot him just above his right eyebrow.

[MadameX]

After hearing their questions, I am confident this jury will find justice for Travis...

[marycontrary]

If you notice the shelves in the closet are adjustable and held in place with pins. The are probably pressed wood painted to look like solid wood. If they managed to hold over 110 pounds of weight without breaking, they certainly would have flipped up with her having her foot on the edge. The back of the shelf would have flipped up.

Mormon beliefs in this regard are aligned with Christianity...

[AnnieBelle]

Jodi loves to believe that she is SO awesome, that she hand picks and polishes each interlocking puzzle piece of her charmed life as she goes along!

[mydeathspace]

Have you guys seen those new AT&T "It's not complicated" commercials with the kids? I feel like the little girl who goes on and on and on and on.... is Jodi adding extra details into her bullshit answers.

[wasthinking]

I have to say...she is giving all my anti-socials a very bad name.....my clients are way more smoothe!

lol, the forensic shrink I linked iirc said she's a Borderline . I don't know the fine line labels, crazy evil works for me. Lock her up and get a needle

[Jadedmile]

Before I have to go deal with the lump in my throat! I have a treasured snapshot taken almost fifty years ago of an almost identical scene. Only it was me lying with my head on my late wife's lap just a few months before we married. A dear friend in the group took it to capture the moment. It was a candid shot and we didn't know she was taking it. We lasted that whole fifty years 'till she passed away just three years ago. She gave me a life and a love that I could never believe I would ever have or deserve. The snapshot sits in a frame on a shelf in our place in Palm Springs and is the first thing anyone sees when they come through the door. Because it's there--she's there. It keeps the moment and the love alive. Contrast that with what Travis's loved ones will feel if they ever see this video. Never forget to be grateful.

So sorry :( I pray that my husband never has to live without me; not that I want to live without HIM, just that honestly, I don't think he could handle the loss all that well and I can't stand the thought of him missing me like I miss my Gma and my Aunt that passed. Much worse for a wife/husband... Hugs to you Mr... :)

You'd think Jodi would be more grateful that he was willing to be that affectionate with her in public... Travis didn't seem like the type that would've felt very comfortable with her clinging onto him like a spider monkey everywhere he went.

[bermstalker]

Just think...Now Nurmi gets to question her on all these questions.
