[*Originally Posted by*ImBatman!*Samantha and the entire family have my deepest respect. They knew what kind of shit storm they were walking into AND decided to go ahead!! I don't know that I would have this kind of strength.]

I would have already gotten kicked out for smacking someone for laughing..my kids say they can't take me anywhere. The Alexander sibs are really a classy bunch considering circumstances they were raised in.. I pray that they will eventually find some peace and comfort after this ordeal.

Did ALV actually testify that everything Jodi did was all because Travis was so abusive? I've seen her attribute Travis's 'abuse' on his past (which I believe did cloud his judgement in relationships, and how he handled himself), but I don't recall her ever saying, "Yes, the abuse would have made Jodi move. The abuse and control was so powerful that she had to drive over a thousand miles to see him on a whim, etc."

I didn't see it, but maybe some of you did? Or was ALV just there to make the case for Travis being an abuser?

Short answer: Yes, that is pretty much what ALV said. Jodi has no choice, Travis made her do it.

I am such a crass individual compared them....

Please tell me this means she's going to wrap up after the break.

some people have trouble letting go.

The thing that cannot be explained away by all of the defense testimony, so far? On June 4th, 2008, Jodi Arias was alive and well, with a couple of minor cuts on her fingers. Travis lay dead in the midst of a bloodbath, multiple stab wounds (including defense wounds) and a slashed throat and a gunshot wound to his temple.

Sorry to ask again but did any of you guys hear who just said "Questions"? Just after recess was mentioned? maybe they will commence them after break?

I heard it. I wonder if the judge was receiving more juror questions just then.
I was hoping tho that this break was requested by JW so that when they come back she can wrap up re-direct and start discussing juror questions.

You should have gone with your first instincts, Alyce.

sorry luvit can't help, I have my sound off when JW is up. I hope someone lets me know if she ever sits the F down.

So was the full interrogation of Mama & Papa Arias ever released?

ECHO! Echo. echo. echo....

Faq's twitter said he bailed at 3pm and went home for a snooze.

She has her precious in her lap and she's writing/drawing with her golf pencil

I see the resemblance so clearly now

Sure you can. Some of Jodi's behaviors were stalking. Others were not.

Travis was at times stalked -- so was I.

Travis at times engaged the woman who had stalked him -- so did I.

Travis had sex with her even when she arrived uninvited -- so did I.

Travis was not afraid that Jodi might physically harm him -- neither was I.

My ex who stalked me for a period of time did not murder me. His did.

It's not black or white. These are fluid relationships, ever changing.

Great post.

I didn't see it, but maybe some of you did? Or was ALV just there to make the case for Travis being an abuser?

I'm sure that was purpose but I just didn't see it. I heard no testimony about how TA's magical guilting made Stabby drive 1000 miles to go see someone Alyce says she was so afraid of.

The Judge perhaps? Asking for juror questions to be brought to her?

[*Originally Posted by*CreepyGus*Alyce talking about Travis having a pattern of making sarcastic comments shows him to be an abuser.Hmmmm, I remember Alyce's pattern of making sarcastic comments to Martinez....]

That's funny..I was told by my therapist that sarcasm is a coping mechanism for dealing with the pain and unhappiness that I feel. Wonder what textbook Lavatory's interpretation of sarcasm came from? Oh wait..would it be her own Snow White fairy tale book? Bitch Please!!

Try HLN's website. I kind of forgot about them.

This is what I DON'T get about ALV.....why, on earth, would she apologize to Jodi for reading the journals? That just sounds SO odd to me. She is apologizing for reviewing the evidence in a criminal case that is part of her job that she's been retained for?? WTF....that makes NO sense.

[Peace Corpse]

I think he was not completely serious "OMG she won't leave me alone!". Travis was playing these other women, telling them "Jodi was a stalker", and at the same time maintaining an emotional/sexual relationship with Jodi the stalker. He put his dick in his stalker's butthole. Jodi was not a stalker because he maintained and invited contact.

It was a ploy to make himself look more attractive to these other women. Hey look, I'm so amazing that I can't get rid of an old girlfriend. It's also great cover for why you are still in contact with an ex as a fuckbuddy. Don't ask me how I know that.

Martinez is getting busted for calling her a stalker, but he scored points by just talking about it.

Jodi did stalk him but it doesn't seem based on the evidence we know thus far, that Travis was afraid of her. I think Travis knew and accepted Jodi was stalking him. It just seems as if he was completely in denial re: the danger this posed to him.

Jodi's ugly blue shirt looks like a waitress uniform

Short answer: Yes, that is pretty much what ALV said. Jodi has no choice, Travis made her do it.

I just hope this puts a rejection stamp on DV defense for murders. If not, I have some great tips for those that want to stabby someone.

True but it is a Herp enhancing color. Brings out the red.

[queenaevadamthng]

In my best Austin Powers voice, "She looks like a man, baybee!"

[Brillig]

I see the resemblance so clearly now

Even the spindly arms and odd, large knuckled hands are the same.

Just sayin'...

I'm a little late in the game here, is that creature in the lime green a male or female?

Okay, a quick recap of my experience. I did not take notes so I will provide you what I have from memory, Poppycock will have much more later! It was so great meeting her, we had a great conversation. So, here goes.....Juan is a very small man! Nurmi is freaking huge! Stabby is a waif at this point, really tiny. i watched her watch the jurors when they exited and she really is studying close. Courtroom is fairly large, from tv, it looks like where Stabby sits is close to the gallery observers when in fact it is probably about 20 feet or so. I had an aisle seat next to one HLN correspondent and Katie Wicks. Spent a lot of time taking to both of them during breaks. By the way, Katie is a very sweet woman. Seats were comfortable, maybe leather or some sort of pleather movie theater type. The jury box is rather large, they have seats that swivel, saw several jurors swiveling around as they were listening. Juror 2 seems to spend a lot of time looking at Stabby, juror 7 seems like he has checked out. It is weird to see juror 5 seat empty. Juror i believe 9 has a ponytail and really seems antsy, have not seen him take any notes. Actually, no questions were put in the box while i was there.The afternoon session started out with Juan and I have to tell you, he is not loud at all. In fact, you can barely hear him. ALV you can hear fine since she has a mic in front of her. Juan questioned for about 30 minutes till no more questions. Redirect, I could hardly keep my eyes open. During one of the breaks I was standing right next to ALV while she was talking to her friends. I also walked out for the 10 minute recess with Flores. I did not say anything because I was warned by a trial regular to be very careful what you say even when not in the courtroom. I have no pictures, sadly because that same trial regular told me that they watch for people even outside taking pictures and will make you delete them on the spot. Poppycock, not knowing this got a bunch of pictures and as far as I know did not have to delete them. Lucky for her. I did get my business card autographed by Katie and she wrote justice for Travis and her name. Travis family look really worn down. Stabby's mother was her usual self, chewing gum and smiling and laughing. I remember more but for now, you can ask me whatever questions you have and I will answer them as well as I can. Thanks.

Thats a female. Jodi's new BFF (not counting her lesbian lovers in jail)
