Jury noticed - they had question about her prescription. BTW, her explanation of glasses doesn't jive. Those are reading glasses. I know for sure because I have copy of my prescription. For nearsighted it is measured like 20/20. Prescription would be 35/100 (ex.). Her explanation was that for reading glasses which are available at stores. Either she borrowed from cellies, bought in Commissary, or Mommy Dearest got her several pairs.
[QUOTE=wasthinking;3357432]How would anyone know that? Clergy don't out their own. I think that is BS.
True, it could be BS, however if a congregant of mine was murdered and his reputation was literally being dragged through the mud, I'd let that information slip out.
BETH KARAS: Well, the defense started grilling the very first witness called by the state, Mimi Hall, Marie Hall. She was the one who was supposed to go to Cancun with Travis Alexander. They were scheduled to leave the day after the body was found, June 10th, 2008.
They were questioning her about it because I believe they`re going to try to show that Travis Alexander was conflicted, and that maybe he was into -- yes, he was self-hating and that he couldn`t resist the temptation of being with Jodi and he took it out on her by being abusive to her. So it`s important to understand the tenets of Mormonism and how you`re not supposed to engage in premarital sex and he really was on the road to redemption at the time he was killed, I`m told.
Could be BS. I think a lot of this stuff will be cleared up after the trial when people really start talking.
My favorite line from NG was when she was questioning Simko about his original attraction to Jodi;
SIMKO: You know, and that`s the thing. I can speak from experience of being in her presence. When I was around her and, I mean, I was smitten. I mean I liked her personally. I was like, OK, she`s really hot, she`s nice, and we just really connected conversationally. And one of the things that this gentleman said was --
GRACE: In other words she asked you a lot of questions about you?
LOL! Ask the guy a lot of questions about himself. Oldest trick in the book!![]()
If you look at the pics of the hallway there doesn't seem to be any blood smears down the center of it. The blood smears are on either side but not in the center. She could have used the towel for both. Then she could used the tshirt and his religious garments to wipe her feet and wrap up the towel and her socks to take it all to the washer so it didn't drip blood down the stairs and into the laundry room. I think she dropped the towel on top of the camera and when she scooped it all up that's how the camera ended up in the washer.
Imagine how freaked she must have been she realized she didn't have the camera or at least the memory card
Sorry that isn't true. There was a court order for her to be transported to an optical Center from the Judge. I want to say about two years ago. You can see it on the court history files.

No one, because he made it all up. I don't believe Chris Hughes threatened him at all. Gus is a lying attention whoredom.
Good catch. It does look like him.
You say opening statements? Can you post a link, I've only ever heard the audio.
Your "amen" was for this:

loonywop, it is generally frowned upon to compliment your own posts. It is hilarious though. Perhaps it was a mistake?
Welcome!

See my profile page for the location of my "Dear Diary" posts in the Jodi thread. http://mydeathspace.com/vb/member.php?82091-Justice11
Just because of what I have been able to observe with Jodi, so far, I am thinking she didn't want to catch him by surprise when she attacked...I thing she got her rush to see the fear in his eyes. To have him die, knowing that she was going to have HER way when it came to his life. She was about to give him the most intense message she intended to deliver...and dammit, he WAS going to pay attention to her, this time. That is the Jodi that I have come to see.
In recent crime sceen pics is that screen from TA's house? Can anyone direct me to pics of her Grandparents house taken after break-in? Saw briefly-looked like house from Hoarders.

[QUOTE=wasthinking;3357517]I know I've seen people say that, but there is blood in the middle and there aren't drag marks through it is the defining thing to me.
I was looking at this picture. It gives a full view of the hallway

Argh. Sorry, I am incapable of taking a screen shot. On this link, scroll to bottom of pictures. First picture before the knives is a long view of the hallway.

Still can't understand her answer about glasses. Reading glasses would be 2.25/2.75. When I got glasses last year I was nearsighted in 1 eye plus I needed glasses to read. For distance 100/125, reading 2.25/2.25. She may have just got it confused, but my vision loss was so severe I saw 2 different Drs. Still doesn't explain all the different glasses she wore at beginning of trial. I truly think she is wearing them for effect. Everytime she touches them I want to slap her. Wilmont does same thing, Stabby mimics her mannerisms as we all have seen.
hum, not sure, that's not a full view when I click it. I got one that says bad link and the other goes to a pic but it is just the north end, like the first one I posted already.
If you go to tabularasa's library, they are all there and you can see, there is no clear path or drag smears in the middle of the hall. The north end is the only end she tried to clean up or turn him around in. Interesting to note that is also the end they found her print on the wall facing north and the hair right across from that.

On the HLN link, scroll to bottom of pictures. First picture before the knives is a long view of the hallway.
I only wear very slight reading glasses from the drugstore (1.0 - - and those only for very fine print), so I am not familiar with various prescriptions for serious glasses. However, if she has worn several different pairs during the trial, I think that would tend to indicate that they are probably reading glasses from the drugstore? I doubt most inmates get to have multiple pairs of prescription glasses?
Does anyone have more info on this? How many different pairs has she worn during the trial?
I had assumed that one of the main purposes of the glasses was to make her look frumpy and librarianish, and less like a kinky, seductive, stalker. Just like her super frumpy clothing choices.
This one? That isnt untouched crime scene like tab's library is. This is after they worked the scene and laid down papers to walk on, fingerprinted and did the luminol and everything.
And all markers are removed.
FYI, to get the link to the exact pic at HLN, bring the pic up like you normally would, then right click, select properties, copy the URL from there and you get the link for putting it in here.

There is no way Travis knew she was coming on June 4. She couldn’t tell him because he might tell someone and that would be a problem. I also question that she arrived at 4:00 am. That would be too risky that the roommate would see her there or Travis would see the roommate in the morning and tell him she was there. I think she waited for the roommate to leave for work before going in. Why go through all the trouble of hiding your presence in Arizona and then bump into the roommate.
I think what she told Flores in her second interview was mostly true regarding how the day went. He was cleaning and doing other stuff She was waiting to get him in the shower. She could have easily killed him in his sleep but she wanted him to suffer. In her mind, he needed to pay and she wanted him to know what was coming.
As far as the knife goes, she had to bring a knife with some kind of handle that protects your fingers or she improvised some kind of handle to protect her fingers. A kitchen knife would have been so saturated with blood that her hands would have slid down the handle and her hands would have been severely cut up much more than a couple of cuts. It takes a lot of force to do what she did and not receive severe wounds to the hands without some kind of protection.
Keep in mind that the last photo of Travis in the shower was the “accidental” photo taken at 5:30:30 of his lower half. If she attacks him immediately after that photo, that adds 44 seconds to the attack. The next photo is at 5:31:14. They believe the camera was 5-6 inches off the ground which would make sense if she’s bending over to stab him in the seated position. I think she’s already stabbing him in the shower at that point and may still have the camera in her hand and snapped that picture. Travis may have even kicked it from her hand.
If the attack starts at 5:30:30 while he is sitting in the shower, this explains the wounds to his chest and the defensive wounds on his hands. He had wounds on his feet and legs and may have been trying to kick her while sitting in the shower. I think he managed to get up and rush her like a “linebacker” (she always puts a little truth in there, helps her remember her BS). If he goes at her head first, that could explain the cuts to his head and may be when the 5:31:14 picture was taken and the camera goes flying.
At that point they are both down like she said (she always puts a little truth in there, helps her remember her BS). He managed to get to the sink and get to his feet. She couldn’t believe it and started stabbing him in the back at that point. As he crawled down the hallway she continued to stab him. When he got to end of the tile is when she finished him off with the throat cut. She drags him back to the shower. Dragging someone that is soaked from being in the shower and also soaked in blood across a tile floor is not very difficult.
He was making the death noises and it freaked her out. She couldn’t believe he was still alive. At that point, she has a cut to her fingers and is exhausted. She decides to shoot him to end it. I don’t think she ever thought Travis could put up the fight that he did. It is amazing considering all of his injuries.
I think her plan was to kill him earlier in the day but he was cleaning and doing other things. She had to wait for him to shower. Because he showered so late, she had very little time to clean and did it frantically. If he showered earlier, she would have much more time to clean which was probably her plan. I also believe when she takes the last photo of him looking into the camera, she already has the knife out. JMO
Like everyone else, this is just my speculation. No one will ever really know.
[QUOTE=Jillee;3357500] Yikes, NG? lol I'll believe Nancy Disgrace the same day I start believing Arias.
"I was told".. isn't any proof a Bishop broke his oath on confidences. I don't believe a Bishop would do that murder or no murder. It's rumors just like the gabage about JA's tshirt was a group shirt and then Sky testifed is wasn't or that JA stole his journals and we find out Sky had them and the court ordered her to hand them over to the Def or she crawled through doggie doors only to find out he always left his regular door unlock and a lot of people including JA could walk in anytime.

Can't be, Martinez brought out at trial there was no other blood found through the crime techs testimony. I don't think that is Travis' bed or dresser bottom either.
TA's mattress doesn't have those plastic guards on it.
This bed has not footboard, TAs does
His bedroom furniture is a different stain color

[QUOTING JILLEE: I'd still like to hear what she says if she decided to tell what really happened. As long as it fit the evidence. As far as her going after him when his back was turned-Maybe that wasn't a vulnerable enough position for her. Maybe he turned around too quickly? Lawd,who knows. I think that she didn't kill him in his sleep because of the roommates; and she wanted one last hurrah with him. Once she got there, she settled in. At the end, something was said and she remembered why she came.]
I don't think that is likely to happen, ever...As long as she has that carrot to dangle she will keep that card up her sleeve.
