Jodi Ann Arias shot and stabbed her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander to death (Part II)

[wasthinking]

Here are her actual journal entries

Thanks for the screen shots guys/gals! Donovan oozes criminal because she is a criminal.

something is off with this journal, it's suspect if you ask me. Feels too plotted out or at least this part does. She could have easily rewrote this to go with her stolen gun and ninja knife.

imo most of her journal entries were probably re written way after the fact because alot of them dont make sense with what she says

[Freethinker]

Okay, so I have secured the day off for Monday! I will get to the courthouse at 6am and hope that I get into the trial. Any thoughts on what I should wear? A t-shirt with a huge blue ribbon that says JusticeforTravis? Or maybe a t-shirt with the logo Stabby ?

Is there court Monday?

I think you're right! The writing seems staged, and there are details in there that wouldn't need to be there if you were talking to yourself! Like, in reference to the passwords: "....that we exchanged eons ago".

Is there court Monday?

Yes. Court is scheduled Monday - Thursday next week @ 9:30AM MST (as of now)

Also in case anyone missed this morning ...

Morning Session, Includes motion to sequester jury.

[*crickets*]

Open the stalking door wide open, why don't you!

Not only opened the door, Wilmott rolled out a red carpet leading up to it.

Nurmi is just going to piss off the jurors if he's eyeing them constantly. All the jurors must mind their P's and Q's cause Nurmi and Jodi have their eyes glued to them like hawks ready to strike.
That's gonna bite the defense in the ass when it comes down to deliberations.

[gecko am]

I realized something during the forced break. I was sorting some sewing supplies, and came across some "decorative rope" (the same kind Stabby says they used for their bondage games on June 4th). That stuff is a pain in the ass to work with, in part because it is very slippery, which would make it problematic for bondage. But even more important, it unravels like a mofo within moments of cutting it. Which is why when you buy it, they measure it out, then put a piece of masking tape around it at the spot to be cut, then cut across the tape wrap, leaving tape on the end of the piece you are buying and also on the length that stays on the reel. If you cut this stuff and skip the tape, the whole thing will untwist itself and unravel very quickly.

But Stabby never mentioned any tape. She just says they cut it with the big knife from the kitchen. Stabby does not say "and then it all unraveled, and it made working with it really difficult". But it would have. Really. No way around that without tape.

I realize this is a small detail, but I actually think it proves the whole rope story is made up.

Good observation Brillig!

Alyce will be out sick, Juaniphobia

[TeamRenew]

I kinda tuned out. Have Wilmott & Alyce gotten to the part where Travis caused these high gas prices & North Korea acting all weird yet, since everything he did caused irreparable destruction, apparently?

Am gonna assume you are being serious. Judge Stevens has said she will no longer fight the blue ribbons because JA's family and friends are wearing the purple ribbons. If you wear anything provocative they wont let you in.

The Juan-flu

Easy answer to that...

Represent!

Their best hope is a mistrial. If they can only get 6 more jurors out, it's a done deal!

[M Joy]

Nurmi listed juror #s 1, 4, 6, 17, & 13 as having been approached by (or were in the vicinity of) HLN cameras this morning, right?

there's 5 more that he probably wants to get kicked off.

[jingles]

HLN going to play opening statements tomorrow - since no court tomorrow.
I've heard most of them, but I hate that JM's doesn't start until like 15 min in on all the youtube videos. Hopefully someone can make a new video with the opening statements in their entirety

HLN just played a snippet of Juan's opening. I had heard the partial audio, but to see him in action was riveting, and it was definitely a part of his opening I had never heard before. He explained to the jury how she "thanked him" for his kindess by slitting his throat, shooting him in the head...Something along those lines, I'm really NOT doing it justice, but it should be great viewing.

[faq_q]

Ha. either way you would probably not be allowed in. that would be fun to go the trial! Especially since JM should definitely be cross-ing at that point

I thought about that so my plan is to wear a shirt over it then take the shirt off at about 4:25. Do you think they will hold me in contempt? Promise? I'm not afraid to make a statement if so.

Easy answer to that...

That's a good one!

Find out what the DT are wearing and color match!

Now, that would be a neat trick!

Is there court Monday?

Yes, it's on the docket....woohoo!

[elamir]

Easy answer to that...

that would be pretty fucking awesome, can you imagine Ann Campbell's and Donovan's's face? LOL

[faq_q]

Oh, I have my ways and yes I am serious I am going.

[Justice11]

Wait a minute, rewind .... erase.

It's a replay of this morning. My bad.

Someone earlier asked which, so here's what Nurmi said: Jurors number 1,4,6,17, maybe 13 were possibly photographed.

No real basis for it other than photographer was in proximity of jurors.

I think Stabby has something cooking with Donovan. This morning she was watching the jury file in, and after they were seated, she looked back at Donovan very quickly and smirked. Just now before recess, she watched them file out and then again, looked back at Donovan, slight nod or acknowledgement and tried to cover a smile.

I really think the baliff or the judge should be more aware of these exchanges. Donovan oozes criminal, and imo IT shouldn't be allowed in the courtroom in such close proximity to IT's co-'whore'-t.

I definitely agree that something might be going on with Jodi and Donovan. I missed this morning, but I just watched the YouTube video showing Jodi watching the jury enter and then watching them exit. Each time she turns and gives Donovan a very distinctive look.

Maybe Donovan is going to try to photograph the jurors and then get them published on the Internet or news? Combine this with Nurmi asking for a mistrial and sequestration of the jury this morning. I could totally see Jodi trying to cause a mistrial.

Hmmmmm, we will have to wait and see what happens. If I were the prosecution, I'd consider hiring a private detective to follow Donovan for the next few days.

[Brillig]

Her roomie gave her a tickle before court. And yes...I believe every member of the jury should be allowed to smack that smirk off her face. One=by-one, single file line. I'll bring up the rear.

Like that scene from the movie Airplane!, where all the passengers line up to smack the hysterical woman.

I think you're right! The writing seems staged, and there are details in there that wouldn't need to be there if you were talking to yourself! Like, in reference to the passwords: "....that we exchanged eons ago".

I agree. There are several points where it seems odd, not the kind of things people say to themselves in a diary/journal.

I suppose she would have had time to manufacture a fake journal between the date of the murder and when she was arrested. The clever way to do that would be to just buy a new journal to start fresh, copy most of the entries verbatim, and stick in the details you feel you need in new entries or additions to old ones, so that it all appears seamless. On the other hand, before she was arrested, I think she probably thought she would get away with her crime, so faking a journal at that point seems odd. Unless she was concerned they were suspicious of her, or just wanted to hedge her bets just in case the worst happened?

I doubt they they would have let her have the original of her journal in jail, even when she was acting as her own attorney for a week, and not sure that would have been enough time for her to make changes anyway.

It's a mystery.

[Doll-Face]

The only diary entry that came thru for me was May 22, 2008, and goes up to page 8, nothing more. Anyone else ever see any part of this diary entry before today? I don't remember it, but my memory is foggy and facts are running together and over each other. This entry is very wordy compared to her other entries and even appears to be more informational than the others we've seen. To me that's odd, like someone else said, a setup, written after the murder laying out facts so no one would read it and suspect her...as they'd "had the talk." She really thought she would get away with it. She didn't know she'd left evidence at the scene! The entry makes it sound like she was over Travis, yet HE was still interested. Very odd. Especially in light of what we have heard and seen in trial and media.

[Freethinker]

I guess ALV's seminar is just one day then. Not much rest for her in the next few days, especially with the seminar in the middle. And then JUAN!!!!

[I doubt it]

Juror 5 was turned in by an anonymous phone call, saying she was giving Jodi signals. Some think Donovan made the call.
