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

[Agus]

I'm starting to think she is not that smart. REally, her rambling goes beyond just being evasive.

[poppym]

I think there's a fine line a judge walks between both sides of a case, but Judge Stephens seems to lose her footing quite often. However, she's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. If she doesn't ask the witness to cooperate, then she's hindering the prosecution's case. She also doesn't want to seem like she's favoring the prosecution and have the case thrown out. I certainly wouldn't want to be the judge in such a high profile case such as this. I don't fully agree with the way she handles (or doesn't handle as the case may be) her courtroom, but God knows the amount of fury that would come if she were to recuse herself or if the case were to be thrown out over something she did or didn't do.

And you know she's gotta be tired of this crap, just like the rest of us. She just doesn't have the luxury of showing or expressing it. :)

Very true! I wouldn't want to be in her shoes!

"lying after the murder- oops, i meant the killing"

[NCBlonde]

Isn't that early on about her boyfriend cheating, and she went to confront him? Or am I getting ahead of myself with all the sidebars?

Yeah. She went to confront Matt McCartney about Bianca. There was some mention of some guy that she kind of mocked because he was gay, somehow in that situation? Was his name Steve? I can't remember.


I get what Martinez is saying, but I wish he would say it as such: "Isn't kind of a coincidence that a woman would have 2 of her boyfriends exposed as cheater by people who sought her out at work?"

This whole day with Alyce can be summed up with this:

[gecko am]

Anyone see if Juror 5 is in the audience?

I haven't seen her (perhaps the Judge told her not to come) and I don't see Donovan and Co. today either (after their outburst on Friday).
Anyone else see them today?

This whole day with Alyce can be summed up with this:

my thoughts exactly!!

"After the murder... after the killing, I apologize"

Another classic JM line.

WOO HOO!
ALV just walked right into the history of lying discussion!
SHE started the conversation!

The defense and their experts opening the door and rolling out the welcome mats all over the place.

Shut the fucking front door! Did Alyce just say the only one with a history of lying is TA? Are you fucking kidding me?

[Harlette]

wtf?? what is travis history of lying!@!! she never talked to him or verified any thing that jodi said was the truth!!!! FACEPALM!

"After the murder... after the killing, I apologize"

I know!
It seems the more she tries to avoid the question that was ACTUALLY asked
she ends up saying something really outrageous!

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

The defense is objecting to Alyce speculating? Her entire direct testimony was speculation!

[TeamRenew]

Shut the fucking front door! Did Alyce just say the only one with a history of lying is TA? Are you fucking kidding me?

ha yep!

wtf

[lorizfree]

I betcha Jodi's parents would have something to say about her history of being a liar.

YUP, Travis (the victim) is the liar!!!

[Jem]

She's so obvious that she doesn't want to slip up when Juan asks a question and she answers as though he asked her something else. It's a tactic we've all used when we don't want to get into trouble, you change the subject or try to steer someone off track when they're questioning you. The jury will pick up on that.

[poppym]

I never understood the background to all this! She made up a fictional character to deflect form the fact that she found out about Lisa Andrews by her own devious snooping and following? Is that right?

Wow! Bias much. I know a guy who was battered. He hated to tell anyone for fear of not being believed, of being afraid to defend himself for fear if she suffered an injury he would be held as a perpetrator. He was terrified one day she'd hit him with a frying pan or something and seriously injure him.

Granted it is often the shoe on the other foot, but it does happen that the man is the battered one.

[royals02]

I think I get it...Travis was pissed with JA story that "someone" came into her job and told her about Lisa...however he is really pissed because he knows she hacked into his phone or email and THATS how she knew about Lisa

[Justice11]

Justice, I was getting ready to get really pissed a you 1:47pm edited version of Jodi's diary. I'm just skimming though today postings.I thought it was someone who was not looking at the court proceedings.

I'm confused.

Please someone tell me what this is?

MOT ? Motion ? Party (001)

NOTE: MOTION TO PRECLUDE; ANY AND ALL EVIDENCE RELATED ANY WEIGHT ASSESSMENTS OR TESTING ON SHELVING AT PLACE OF DEATH
I found it on the JAI(GUILTY)I site. This was something I picked up on immediately at the end of Jodi's testimony. The shelves that Jodi claimed to step on in the closet to get the gun are resting steps. If she put her foot on the front, the front would lift up from the back, dropping everything from that shelf on the floor. In other words, there are 4 little pegs that the shelf is resting on top of that would NOT hold weight when stepped on. I almost spit my pepsi out when Juan said that. This could be very interesting and very incriminating for Jodi,

Love this! Hope it happens! Of course the defense would try to block it. Pathetic. They are SO afraid of the truth.

I'm starting to think Nurmi keeps filing motions to drive up the billing hours. Some of these are ridiculous.

I absolutely believe this is the case.

"Are you done with your answer?"
"Now answer my question"

Does Jodi have huge hands or is it just me that thinks so?

She has man hands.

Maybe she's mega burned out, but I agree! She doesn't appear to be the figure in control in this court room.

Yeah, I like her, but she seems way out of her league.


Oh, Travis is the liar???? GTFO of here.

ETA: Jodi is shooting Martinez some nasty looks.

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

Hope jury sees that the defense is objecting to TA's words being used only where it doesn't they can't twist it to their benefit.

Yes, that's exactly right.

Remember that according to her, he is not the victim.

Exactly. JM got that out even with Alyce avoiding answering his questions.
