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

[Brillig]

I had a therapist tell me years ago that my sarcastic humor/gallow humor (or as my mother refers to it as "my sick sense of humor")is a coping mechanism that ppl use to deal with terrible things happening in their lives.

Yep. That hits the nail on the head.

HLN has built a true to scale model of the murder area. On the HLN after dark on Monday-they are going to act the scene out.

HLN has also been playing the fog horn sounds when they come back from breaks. LOL.

[Justice11]

So, for real, no court today?? I guess I will have to keep cleaning my house. Sigh.

[*crickets*]

I think it's so sad that on May 26th he texted her telling her she was evil and a sociopath and she was the worst thing that ever happened to him and then on June 4th he agrees to see her. I'd love to know how she weaseled her way into it. Promise of sex and a car payment? Still wouldn't have been worth it if he thought that way about her. Ugh that part bothers me.

Don't forget that two days after that text msg the gun was 'stolen' from the grandparents...

[*Originally Posted by*bermstalker**me too.Then I kept saying Ohhhh her feet are so dirty on the bottom.I don't know why they didn't go with the crazy defense. It probably would have worked better for her.]

Dirty feet are one of those things that just positively gross me out. I don't ever go barefoot myself. Even in my own house with clean floors. My house crocs are even outside the shower for when I get out..and yes if you are wondering I'm a tad bit OCD about cooties.

[Brillig]

I noticed the feet right away too! LOL
I kind of wonder if she was doing this just for the camera...but she was crying moments before? Maybe this is her real true self. After all, I don't believe she was ever sad about murdering Travis. She was just bored and trying to entertain herself. Freak.

I do not think she was doing it for the camera when she was alone. I think her bizarro actions when alone were the real Jodi.

I think the crying moments before was her trying to manipulate Detective Flores. "Poor me, look, I am crying and vulnerable, take pity".

She truly is chilling. It is rare to get to see a sociopath in such an unguarded and real moment. They spend their whole lives trying to hide that and appear normal.

googled those 'lyrics' nothing comes up.

I did too and I believe this is the song:
Dido ? Here With Me

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
I don't want to move a thing
[B]It might change my memory[/B]

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want but I can't hide
I won't go I won't sleep
I can't breathe until you're resting here with me
I won't leave I can't hide
I cannot be until you're resting here with me

I don't want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed,
Risk forgetting all that's been

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want,
But I can't hide
I won't go, I won't sleep,

I can't breathe,
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave, I can't hide,
I cannot be until you're resting here with me

Indeed. I hope Juan really emphasizes that fact in his closing argument.

[Ian 1]

First thing in my mind when I saw her do the handstand was "OMG her feet are FILTHY" LOL

Don't take us there. Please! Next image we'll be conjuring up is those dirty feet wrapped around some stud's you know what and it's all downhill to barfville from there. That's a PTSD inducing sight if ever there was one. Ugh!! I gotta get off this site and go do some work--even if I don't have a job! I've been turning my old clients away and now I'm going to be seeking 'em out and begging them to give me something to do. Time for a mental health break.

[ChelseyDawn]

Here is the song she is singing. Kinda creepy considering her obsession with Travis (good song though)

What a coincidence!!

[rachy]

i just saw the headstand video eww at her feet!

I think that was the day that sealed TA fate. I am sure that with that text, along with finding out about his Cancun trip with another girl she thought to herself "You are gonna pay now Futher Mucker!"

[TulsaTime]

She ruined another good song. Jodi ruins everything!!!

[Poppycock]

you should read - idk if she did anything - there was no evidence she was involved, even from the 2 guys on deathrow who committed it said she wasn't involved. only evidence was that Det. he said she confessed, but there was no video tape in interrogation, no witnesses, he interrogated her alone w/ no observers, and threw all his notes out - and at that time he testify there was already 8 cases rulings overturned for lying on the stand or police misconduct

RE Debra Milke's DP conviction overturned in AZ yesterday:

to try and make this brief, i have a friend that was a neighbor of Milke's and her son even played with Christopher; Debra Milke had a roommate, Susie Stinson who is still one of my friend's best friends. I have met Susie a few times. Susie and Milke were single mothers that met on a classified ad and became roommates. I discussed Debra with Susie one time when I was with my friend in Rocky Point Mexico. She told me that Debra despised her son and had no emotion or love for him. That he would seek attention, and she would push him away; if he crawed on her lap, she would shove him off. Susie testifed in the trial, you can google her. She believes the mother asked the two minions to do what they did, tell little Christopher he was going to see Santa, then take him in the desert and shoot him, which they did. I called my friend yesterday when i heard this on the radio. She was upset, but not surprised as she said they have been trying to find a way off DR for Milke for 20 years. This time it worked. Another witness testified that Debra had said she wanted rid of her son, that he was impeding her life. Much like CA.

Thanks a heap Ian for that mental pic. As if my Anti-foot fetish wasn't bad enough. I really gotta learn to quit eating when reading this forum.

I'm thinking Alanis Morissette has a valid civil suit against JA

I think so too.

I also think that the part that infuriated Stabby most of all was being "seen" by Travis for what she truly is (a sociopath) and called out on it. Sociopaths spend their whole lives trying to cover up who they really are and appear normal. I think Travis seeing through her disguise and calling her out on it so specifically was the absolute final straw that set this all in motion.

[JOLfan]

After watching most of yesterday's testimony if I was a juror I would ask the following:

1. On the test that Jodi took with the "trick questions" what were the questions that were put in the test to see if a person is faking it and how did Jodi answer them compared to how they should be answered if the person was not faking it.

2. Do people that experience PTSD usually experience remorse from the event? What, if any, is the relationship between remorse and PTSD?

I'm not sure if these were covered in the bits of testimony that I missed. This working thing is really starting to cramp my trial viewing! LOL.

[I doubt it]

PHOENIX (AP) ? A federal appeals court on Thursday threw out the convictions of a woman sentenced to death in the notorious 1989 killing of her 4-year-old son, ruling that the case was tainted by a detective with a history of lying under oath.




How pathetic, a crooked cop steals justice from a toddler's murder.

Well, now there's only 2 women on death row, we know they have a spot for Jodi.

[AnnieBelle]

Hi everyone!

I have been coming to this site for awhile and finally decided to make an account. I have been following the Jodi Arias case and when I saw these drinks at the grocery store... I about died laughing! Can anybody get Jodi a can of this stuff? lol

I think this is really funny! She should have bought THESE instead of strawberry frappacchinos!! LOL
Welcome, Shawna!

We can only be comforted with the thought that Karma is most definitely a bitch & my strong belief that hell is specifically designed for each individual sent there. I picture CA being duct taped in a foul smelling trash bag scratching and fighting for air for an eternity.

Her knew what he was dealing with -- that he was dealing with fire -- and he continued to dance with the devil. And paid for it with his life.

Word of warning to men out there. Say "no" to crazy beautiful. It's sometimes difficult for young men to do.
