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

[alyoop]

Hell, yesterday she was interrupting the damn Judge!

Its totally nutty! I have never seen a trial, defendant, defense, circus like this! (headbang)

[poppym]

Yes he is!!!!!

Goodie Goodie Gum Drops! Can't wait for Nurmi's post trial book: '10 Steps to Alienating a Jury' - Foreward By Jennifer Willmott

[Jinkasaurus]

Nurmi just wants to get as many $225 hours logged as possible.... that is why he is keeping her on the stand so long.

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.

the place was soaked with blood if she wanted to be the real "get away with murder" type she would have wiped the scene of bleach and took his body with her and buried it in the desert.She's a hack and there's overwhelming evidence she was there and killed him in cold blood.

Pywackett:
I thought the theory was that she removed her license plates completely so she could not be tracked, and then like a dumbass, put them back on upside down by accident. No?


Sorry...can't multi-quote for some reason.

I would notice a strange car with no license plate (since that it out of the norm in my neighborhood) but it seems Jodi might think that she was pulling something over on someone by removing it. What an ass for putting it on upside down! LOL.

Pywackett: I has a cat growing up named Pywackett...he was the most awesome laid back cat ever! Thought I would share...LOL

Yeah, who knows what she was thinking. For all we know, she could have taken the license plates off another car, switched them with the rental car, and then back. My first cat was Pywackett too, a siamese. Named after the cat in the book and movie and play Bell, Book and Candle. The name has stuck with me ever since.

[alyoop]

yoo hoo defense team.... murder, she murdered Travis, can we get there puhlease? for the love of GOD get there, i don't GAF about STEVE carrol and her dates

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

Will Nurmi ask her about John Dixon's fabulous art gallery where her trashy jacked up EBAY art would hang upon the walls in between Van Gogh's and Monet's?

[IMHO]

She is contradicting herself again, I thought her head got scrambled when people raised their voices so how can she recall the arguments with Travis??

[Harlette]

nurmi only says about 40 words in 1 minute time span almost takes 2 secs to say 1 word - thats how bored i am of his talking

[JOLfan]

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

I tell my family I want my headstone to read:

"Come together...right now...over me".

~side note~ I'm a *bit* of a Beatles fan! LOL.

Its totally nutty! I have never seen a trial, defendant, defense, circus like this! (headbang)

I thought the Casey Anthony case was bad but this is outrageous!

[poppym]

He is, but he probably won't be able to until next Wed. (the next day court is in session). Seems Nurmi is determined to take up the rest of the day. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Next Wednesday??????? Why????????? Fuck!!!!!!!!! This will never end!!!!!!!! The never ending trial!!!!!!!

[Obs3ssion]

Jodi keeps blaming so many actions on having "poor self esteem at that time" - in 2007 and 2008 - since that time she's slaughtered someone and spent 4 1/2 years in jail, so are we supposed to believe that her self esteem has improved so much since "that time?"

[Sylvian]

So at a guess Juan will not get a chance to ask her questions till next week.

*snipped for space*

Great post. Giving herself an alibi in Utah is very interesting.

[***JiLL***]

I'm kind of looking forward to the 5 day break. Gets me back to real life for a few minutes

[helloagain]

I thought the Casey Anthony case was bad but this is outrageous!

The judge on the CA case WOULD NOT have allowed this bullshit.

[phantompoet]

Is Nurmi talking extra slow today on purpose? Have things .... progress with..... Mr Carrol Mr Burns..... blah blah blah

Me too. I wonder if Mike will close this thread after midnight tonight until early on Wednesday? (Wishful thinking on my part. This thread gets a little crazy when we have long breaks. )

I think that is where my mom got the name also!

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

Bwhahaha Stabby says that she would have transferred her "all access pass" to her body to another.

She chose the words,. Can't make this shit up!

[Justice11]

Jodi talks about the expectations of the Mormon church in regards to marriage as if she had been raised in the church. Give me a break.
