suicide letters

[elamir]

wow, I was right for once, suicide letters coming in, but Nurmi bringing them in

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

I'm going to start a drinking game...whenever Nurmi picks his nose I'm taking a shot of something. Either that or I am going to throw up. Drinking sounds more fun.

Tequila shots!

[Tenacious-G]

Oh, I get it. Nurmi is trying to re-rehabilitate the witness! Nothing to see here!

[Harlette]

Holy Shit! It's just a replay of when Jodi first got on the stand.

i don't understand?? isn't nurmie to the point of dimishing returns w/ jodi being up on the stand?? that the jury is soo sick of her they aren't paying any more attention?? wuldn't it be better off getting her to shut up and put some experts up there?

[elamir]

Well whoever said she was crying because of herself nailed it.

me me me me me me!

oh soz a bit of Joditus there :)

Who cares about the suicide letters? She killed a man, she is on trial for a DEATH PENALTY case. Shoulda done it and save all of us a bunch of time and frustration. I don't see anyone feeling sorry for her after what she has done.

[Shahoolie11]

OMG.......
"...masturbating while talking to me." ??????? Is everything from her fucking past sexual in nature?!??!? Jesus H. Her life has sucked, is sad and terribly boring.
She's such a motherfucking HOG.

[Justice11]

I got money that she made these "suicide" letters toady at lunch!!!

I wouldn't be at all surprised. Today was the FIRST we have EVER heard of suicide letters.

ETA: Why wouldn't Nurmi have introduced them when he had her on direct the first time? These supposed suicide letters are fake, fake, fake.

I'm behind on my feed because I was having fun with screenshots. Are they allowing them in???

[dianalyn]

Yes, he gets to question her on her answers, right after Nurmi. And then I think that's it for her unless the jurors get to ask her more, we could continue in this cycle! But JM will always get his turn.

I honestly am sick to death of the words "Ms Arias you may take the stand"

[elamir]

Now you'll see some tears folks, and it will be all about her. Hope the jury takes note.

[***JiLL***]

I am so over this bitch.

[andrea0121]

You think her team would advise her that it looks bad that she only cries over shit that pertains to her, not Travis' mutilated body. Where's her hair curtain now? She always brought it out with Travis' pictures.

[M Joy]

Ok she's reading and crying on the stand. So wasn't she reading and crying during the sidebar awhile ago?
trying to get sympathy from this jury. I think its too late

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

Seriously? Just spent however long at the defense table reading these letters - out loud to herself!

[Jinkasaurus]

I'm thinking the jury might be wishing she did commit suicide at this point!

[Twinmutha]

Here goes the water works

[Dimple blossom]

I wouldn't be at all surprised. Today was the FIRST we have EVER heard of suicide letters.

I know right, exactly, totally from left field!!

[helloagain]

Drink until you throw up. Win Win.

[marycontrary]

I don't think depressed and suicidal people care what their head stone says

[Shahoolie11]

Didn't someone once say, only sociopaths cry for themselves??
Whenever the tears come out, it's in reference to something that affected HER negatively...no one else. She's in love with the mirror.

[andreanna]

I hate that she described him as having "passed away". No, byotch, he was murdered.

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

Travis didn't "pass away", crazy bitch. You MURDERED him.

[Sylvian]

This shouldn't even be allowed. She makes me sick.

[NCBlonde]

Regarding the license plate, I do not believe she would totally take it off. That would be a very good way to get the attention of police. She didn't want that to happen, before she got to murder Travis.

I only see 2 reasons for the license plate bs, and both of them involve turning it upside down.

1. She wanted to make it harder to read the numbers, and even the state, in case anyone saw her fleeing the scene.

2. She wanted to draw the attention of police, in Utah, so that she would get pulled over and have "proof" that she was in Utah, so that she could use that as part of her alibi. Oh she was with Ryan Burns and couldn't have killed Travis, look here's a police officer for proof.

I lean more towards option 1, but 2 has its merits. How much better of an alibi could you have than a police officer saying "she was in Utah, not in Mesa". I think she was betting on his roommates not finding him until the following evening, or longer (because they didn't interact much), and she won that bet. They didn't discover him for 5 days after his murder.

I'm sure Jodi figured she could explain away the dna and hair -- like she tried to -- by saying that she was at Travis' all the time, so of course she would have left dna behind. Of course, it was the bloody handprint and the pictures that tripped up her alibi. But, she thought she got rid of the pictures by "washing" the camera, and she probably didn't realize the bloody handprint or assumed they wouldn't be able to match the print to her.

I think, that without those timestamped pictures, they would've had a harder time pinning down time of death, since he went unnoticed by people in the house for 5 days. She thought she had planned it all out -- different car that wouldn't be noticed, different hair color, no receipts or video of her stopping for gas in Arizona, spending time with Ryan Burns and popping up at the convention. It's possible she thought there was little or no evidence of her being at the scene and between the cop and Ryan, she had an alibi of being in Utah, so she couldn't have killed Travis.

Clearly she isn't half as smart as she thinks she is.
