Maybe she wanted to have more receipts for her, "business" write-off.
Where will we ever see a better example of Poetic Justice, than if Mr. Martinez demonstrates that Jodi Ann Arias, despite the fact that she has had almost five years to devise and perfect all of her fabrications about the life and death of Travis Alexander and then launch them into the world with her accomplished rhetoric and exceptional memory, she is going to Death Row because she lies about gas cans. Beautiful!!!

why was she filling the gas cans in Utah?
Where did she go from there? Could she have gone back to AZ?
Oh, and when you return something to Walmart they circle the item on the original receipt
and staple it to the new one which you have to sign.
I don't think the gas cans mean much in the whole story. It makes no sense why she would fill the gas cans back up on 6/6. We know from the evidence, she filled those gas cans up at least 2 times. She filled them up on the 3rd and then again on the 6th. The 3rd makes sense if the state is saying it was a plan-but it makes NO sense for the 6th. Now, on the 6th- that was the cheapest she paid for gas during her whole trip @ $3.85 a gallon. I guess some could say she used them to fill her car up between SLC and Redding. That doesn't make sense because she stopped later and filled her car up again. She also filled it up again the next day in Redding before returning the car.Maybe she wanted to have more receipts for her, "business" write-off.
At this point, I think she was just an idiot that drove around with a powder keg in her trunk. After all, she is the same idiot that used her debit card to go kill somebody.
I did the trip this morning on maps. It's amazing the amount of driving she did to murder him. This is the map I made. The place markers are the places she stopped.

This is somebody else's image and I am not sure where/who it comes from. I guess the pink outline is a maybe??? spot she drove. IDK.
HLN was incorrect, or perhaps they just assumed that Nurmi would finish up with her and his remaining witnesses by Monday (hard to believe they'd think that)!
Juan still has to finish up his questioning of Jodi (plus it appears the jury has more questions), then Nurmi will continue his case with his 2 remaining witnesses, a psychologist and a battered woman/abuse expert, then there will be recross of these witnesses by JM (and knowing Nurmi, redirect). I think the defense will then "rest." After that, Juan puts on his rebuttal case. I can't imagine that happening (rebuttal) for another 2 weeks at least, considering the infamously short court weeks and Nurmi's penchant for dragging things out. Nurmi will take DAYS with his last 2 witnesses, as the so called abuse JA suffered at the hands of Travis is the foundation of their "self defense" case.
Yep, I was going to say there are tons of truck stops, and every truck stop has a shower, it would've been easy to get cleaned up, for whatever had remained.
Since she had a suitcase with clothing, it's certainly possible that it was left in the house and didn't go into the car until she left. Or, she simply could've grabbed a T-shirt and sweat pants from Travis' clothing. A hoodie over her head and you wouldn't see any kind of blood. If you are traveling at night, no one is paying attention that you are wearing sweats and a hoodie. No one would've given her a second glance if she popped in a truck stop and caught a shower.

i am still kind of confused.... was travis shot or stabbed first?
because i remember the investigator (48 hours interview) saying the gun was fired first but somehow i recall the forensics expert (trial) saying that either the throat slashing or the gun wound may have been deadly but he could not say what came first?
Could the pink line be where Jodi claims she was, having gone hours in the wrong direction?I don't think the gas cans mean much in the whole story.

Yes, that was a hell of a ridiculous drive. It might've made sense to drive to Ryan if Travis was on the way, but he was not. She drove like 1,000 miles to get to Travis, then 700-some miles to Ryan, then another 700 from Ryan back to her home in Yreka.
Kinda funny that she traveled in a circle though, just like she does in her testimony on the stand. Maybe she is just completely incapable of getting from Point A to Point B, physically or mentally.

Noooooooo!!This is the best thing ever said, tears girlYou're amazing and I feel the exact same way, absolutely What a cold person to say something like that, just like Jodi :/

(Question: What's a 'brah?" Is it one of those things that Jodi Arias saw the woman hooking/unhooking while she was peeping through the window of Travis's house the night she went to get her Social Security card back?)

It could be as simple as Jodi Arias was loading up on cheap gas and it was safe to do so on her debit/credit card in Salt Lake City. Remember, she had no cash left (unless she stole some from Travis) and was also otherwise pretty well tapped out. Then, when she got back to Redding, she also had her own car at her brother's house which was probably low on gas. The fifteen gallons she had in the cans was not enough to fill up both the rental car and her own car, so she had to buy some gas in Redding. That's the transaction you speak about. No?

A brilliant question! Absolut pure f***ing elegance in it's symmetry and simplicity in contrast to Kirk Nurmi's and Jodi Arias's hours of discombobulation that preceded it. It's right up there with the best lines that have ever been written for the stage. Context is everything. Martinez timing was perfect and in a few words he trashed Nurmi and Jodi Arias. That was a beautiful moment and I compliment you for honing right in on it.

That is possible.
Before she left Yreka for her brother's house/rental car, she stopped and put gas in her car.
Wasn't that amazing??!! Had re-watched that end of the day clip, a few times! To be tripped up, by of all things...a lie about the purchase of a gas can. Wow!
This one is awesome. I can picture it happening because I was feeling the same way as it was going down! LOVE IT!
it looks like shes stabbing the inside of her nose with her fingernail in order to bring on more tears/watery eyes.Whatever Jodi was reading was causing her (and her nose) quite a bit of problems.
I wondered why she was calling me a bra, too!!! Or maybe she meant bruddah, thinking I was her bruddah? ;)A simple little rule to live by! Do not get into pissing contests with skunks.

Pulling out nose hairs has a nice effect, too!!!
I definitely agree with you. I call her Skunt. That's what she is. Welcome
ME testified that his opinion is that the gunshot came last, due to the fact that he found no sign of internal bleeding in the cranium (indicating the person was likely already dead) and that the specific wound would have made him lose consciousness and incapacitate him within seconds.

You're spot on with this Ian. Juan was masterful pointing out the many occasions she lied to the jury in response to their own questions. Leaving that with the jury over the five day trial break was a stroke of genius.
Yeah! But how much did she put in in Yreka? She would have burned off a chunk of that driving to Redding on June 2, and by the time she drove back to Yreka on June 7, most of it would have been gone. Anticipating that, she perhaps decided to save herself a few scarce dollars and fill it back up with cheap gas hauled from Utah. No?

I don't think the issue is why she filled up the cans again in SLC. The issue is that she told the jury she returned one of the cans to Walmart.

Well! At least you dodged "hotti biscotti." Watch out for it!!!!

it does have a certain ring to it.
Marshmallow here is the one I liken to Ed Gein... Originally Posted by Heartbroken1

Remember, at that time, she wasn't confessing to anything. Proving the gas can deception shores up the element of Premeditation and that leads to the Death Chamber.
