Just because a crime scene is disorganized does not make it not premeditated. I think she intended to keep it in the shower but he got out and fought. It got messy. She tried to clean up but she knew she had to get out of there.

I know, it's such a strange combo of this dark, horrible, gruesome murder juxtaposed with the pure entertainment and comedic side of it, plus the baffling evilness that is Jodi. It's like nothing else I've ever seen. I feel guilty for laughing but really, how can you help it?
Sorry for posting again so quickly tonight, guys.
I wondered when the defense put up the texts why they were reminding people that Travis was calling Jodi a liar. This is not really a good thing to remind the jury of. Especially if you read through the text and see that Travis was obviously hurt and angry, and (I think) somewhat bewildered by her behavior.
He's not being nice, but it seems like he may have had a reason or two to be angry.
I'm also curious to know if anyone knows what the picture of Jodi was that Travis was commenting on. The one where she supposedly looked like a whore?
And one more thought for the evening: Does anyone else think that Travis may have had a bit of a "white knight" syndrome when it came to Jodi? Like she came off to him as needy and lonely, with a sad history, and he wanted to try to make things better for her? And that's why he kept allowing her into his life? Obviously, I think the sex was a huge part of why he kept her around, but I can't help but wonder if, because of how crappy his home life had been, he didn't open his heart and home to Jodi so much because he truly wanted to help her?
Thanks you Justice! Your diary entries make my day! Look forward to them. I literally LOL
Based on your report of what they said, I'm guessing they came from the JAII site!
Oh, absolutely. With all the short weeks, short days, long approaches, late starts, etc, I think this case might not be done until early May. Hopefully I'm wrong. But, I absolutely see it going three more weeks.

I agree. Unfortunately AT LEAST three more weeks. I feel horrible for his family who are determined (and rightfully so) to be there through the whole trial. They are really struggling financially as well as emotionally. I hope for them its over sooner than 3 weeks so they can go back home and get back to some semblance of normal.
Guest on Dr. Drew just said she "confabulated"!![]()
I do think it is "possible" that she used a knife from Travis' kitchen. She could have put it in her backpack or purse at any point during the day (whether that was 10 minutes before the attack or hours before).
However, I think it is more likely that she brought a knife with her, either a hunting/Bowie type knife with a crossguard between the blade and handle, or a knuckle knife with finger holes in the handle. I think a hunting/Bowie knife is most likely, since they are easy to obtain.
The reason I think this is because I find it unlikely that she could have stabbed Travis 28 times and slit his throat that deeply using a kitchen knife without her hand ever slipping off the blade and cutting her own hand. Especially once the knife was slicked up with blood (which it clearly had to be at some point). Yet all Stabby had were a couple very tiny cuts on one hand that were coverable by a regular bandaid. I don't think this would be possible unless there was something to prevent her hand from slipping off the handle and onto the blade while she was stabbing.
Kitchen knives, even big ones, are not designed for stabbing.

This IS the best site ever, even the squabbles are intelligent.
Every time I see Travis's family my heart goes out to them and I hope they can receive the answers they want. When (not if) Jodi is convicted of premeditated murder is there a possibility before the penalty phase a deal could be made. I'm thinking Jodi could tell the true story in exchange for lwop. Either way she goes out in a casket.
Good points! I don't know much about knives.....for some reason, they have always scared me to death. But I have often wondered how she managed to do so much damage without getting more than a couple of shallow cuts on her hands. It would make sense, if she used a type of knife like you mention. I have also thought that she must have been wielding one heck of a weapon, because he was a young and healthy man, yet he could not overtake her. It gives me chills to think of what actually happened, there.
I know Stabby's excuse for having a 9mm gun was to protect herself from gold-mining psycho rapists, but what was her excuse for the knives?

I think the other thing that draws us in to these trials is trying to rationalize the fact that one human can do this to another. And then there is the aspect of looking at something so menacing and scary head-on. It kinda reminds me of the exhibit by the artist Damien Hirst called The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living. One of the pieces was this huge tiger shark in a clear glass case with it mouth opened as if it were going to eat you. It was death up close and personal but without the risk. Such is the case of our interest here. We can be horrified, shocked,and appalled by this crime. We can look death right in her silly face and to an extent laugh at her, but at a safe distance.
