"I Lurrrrvvv modern technology! I've just arrived on an Island off the coast of Africa, and I'm reading you all!!!*
I know that sounds obvious to some, but I have lived a sheltered life on my "drizzly wee Island" (J/K Coconut)!
Wifi is fair so hope I can still get the live stream!*
Loving ALL you intelligent JA threaders! Especially Sneakers, who, as we all know, is Omnipresent!"
Hi Poppy! How exciting, I'm off to Mauritius in 2 weeks and I can't wait to escape the drizzly island either! The hotel has wifi on the beach so if this is still ongoing I'll be able to keep up :)
Good catch everyone on the video of Jodi using 'we' on her California travels. Just something that stuck out on her verbal sparring on cross-she was asked a time when she arrived 'cant say exactly, but before Jack went to school' but when asked what time he's at school she answers quick as a flash 'I don't know'. Nothing of importance but the way she likes to play around, toying with words amazes me.....you can imagine when she and Travis were having a barney that she would have a huge capacity to push buttons, and also then have the verbal dexterity to sweet talk her way back into his good books.
Looking forward to the continuation of trial from tomorrow onwards, and to Coconuts' posts-you've been on fire ;)
Something else you might try if you are going to the trial, the light rail has Park & Ride lots where you can park for free and ride the light rail in. It costs $4 for an all day pass. Personally, I love the light rail and hate parking downtown, so that would be my choice.

I am totally with you. I will let others do the research on that on so I don't have to.
Jodi's drawing are of student quality. She has some talent, but she has not learned how to use it quite yet.
I went to school with a guy who wanted to be an artist but he could barely draw. His work was way worse than Jodi's. But he stuck with it and practiced; he worked really hard at it. By the time he graduated, he was one of the best in the class! I was amazed. Anyway, point being, she has potential, but she's definitely drawing at the student level right now. Nobody would buy those if she hadn't killed Travis.

May she never have the privilege of seeing a real Christmas tree again. I agree that while her antics should not be the focus of the jury, they should be able to see her better, especially during the numerous, endless, batshit crazy sidebars. I don't expect to hear any phony remorse from her during sentencing due to the appellate process. She showed none during her testimony and tried her best to trash TA. I hope the jury caught every inconsistency while she was on the stand and the blatant bias of her "experts". TA's character was assassinated by Stabby and her stooges. The stooges who constantly shouted CONTEXT twisted everything to comport to Stabby's story. In retrospect, the whole Defense was ludicrous, but it did distract and distance the jury from the brutality of the murder. DT managed to drag it out (3 witnesses) for almost 3 months. I barely remember the handful of other witnesses the Defense called. I think we are all longing for a good Rebuttal witness to bring this trial back around to the brutal murder of Travis Alexander. When it comes down to deliberations I can't see how any juror will be able get around the law even if they consider self-defense. The slit throat defies self-defense, and I can only see that as a deliberate act intended to kill TA who was already down and mortally wounded. Fuck her and her PTSD, fog, BWS, and every other piece of shit defense thrown against the wall. This is a game to her, and she thinks she is winning. All the better for us to be able to watch her when the verdict comes in.
I hope the Alexanders are aware of this.
Completely agree. Her being called a "professional" photographer is like the rest of us claiming to be dentiss because we brush out teeth.
Very clever. This one of Donavan cracks me up.

Meeting Jodi Arias: First impressions never lie, or do they?
Back then, Jodi was vibrant; outgoing and cheerful; a young woman convinced of her innocence and adamant her case would never go before a jury.
Even with the increasing media attention, I was able to get in touch with Jodi's family simply by looking them up in the phone book and they were surprisingly receptive to my calls. Over the next few days, I would speak with both Jodi and her family at length, slowly gaining their trust.
After about a week, Jodi finally agreed to meet with me for what would be her first television interview.http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_1...ie-or-do-they/As a journalist, I had covered my share of crime stories across the country but I had never met someone so excited to be interviewed as Jodi. And it was clear she had some experience behind the camera, even giving my crew direction. "If you need to I would be willing to stop so they can fix the shot. If I get shiny let's take a break", she said," I'd rather it be like no chains, if possible. So, that'd be good."
Agree with everything but bolded part...to me the murder, especially the 9 stabs to the back and slit throat, screams RAGE. I picture her in a furious frenzy stabbing his back over and over, STAB STAB STAB...then the coup de grace, yanking his head back and savagely slicing his throat ear to ear..."take THAT, you bastard!"
I do think things will begin to move quickly now that they have gotten through all the Psych expert witnesses. The rest should be pretty straightforward and we'll be back to the murder and premeditation.
I do think JM will bring it back around and line by line summarize to remind the jury of witnesses. I hope he adds in that last email she sent to Travis after killing him saying 'hope you aren't still upset"
That was 90% of her testimony, claiming Travis was upsest over every imaginary lie she could invent. Then labeled him with it one last time .......... AFTER HE WAS DEAD

Fascinating article! Thanks for posting.
Darryl Brewer actually met with Jonathan Leach around the time of the 48 Hours interview. It came out in JM's cross exam of Darryl that they met over dinner. JM asked DB if getting money for Jodi was discussed and I don't recall the answer, maybe 'I don't know' or an objection by the defense.
I'd love to know all the stuff JM knows about this case but hasn't been allowed to bring into the trial. I hope he writes a book when it's all over, or at least gives a very long magazine interview!
somewhere around there's a guy that worked with JA and Darryl Brewer. Brewer lied about them not dating until 2002.
might be in all this stuff https://twitter.com/josemcyntire/media/grid

I wouldn't count on him writing a book, he has had some pretty high profile cases in the past and not written about them. I think he is all business. I kinda like that about him. He will probably move on from this and go directly into another case. I too would like to know what he knows, it is obvious that plenty of evidence is being left out due to it being too prejudicial.
Thanks lisam2013 for finding this gem:

^^^ im surprised of the nice comments people are leaving on this site. its just a matter of time before the MOB finds it.Some kind folks have already left messages for Trudy Richards (the person who is peddling JA's "art")

So THAT's what she's been writing! No thanks! The ramblings of a lunatic would be interesting... if the lunatic wasn't such a liar.
Jodi is getting her models from magazines photos. Ah, yes...I remember using magazine photos in art class.... in 8th grade!
Love this artist. Captures her soul, doesn't it? Someone should def. send it to her. I think Willmott should get hers sent too!

Jodi's are ridiculously juvenile.

I'm a watercolorist. I've done lots of pencil work, but I find it's too controlled. I like the challenges that paint gives me. Jodi's art is reminiscent of tracing stuff kids were doing in middle school. I'd like to see her do something free hand. I don't think she has the vision one needs for it tho.
This is my friend's baby. I love painting children.
And my dog. Love interesting faces.
This painting was from a photo I found back in 1986. I was 18 when I painted this.
NOT tooting my own horn. I just really hate what Jodi is doing. So does the entire art community. Her stuff is only selling because it's murderbilla. It would never sell otherwise.
Sorry, thought I saw this answered but seems I was imagining things. I can't paste from my tablet so doing it from memory, but I think it's
