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

[Sylvian]

I almost cried when Deanna said "He has a dog"

Me too. She's lovely, kind face and lovely voice.

Why did Nurmi ask the cash question to the gas witness? I don't know where he was going with that one.

He did just do a blow through his mouth gesture like this is so tough.

[ImBatman!]

I am going to post this one more time just so I don't get anymore backlash! I sent my post about Deanna prematurely. I did not mean to insinuate anything about her! I was more looking at how far Travis veered off his norm. Deanna was perfect for him and they looked very happy when they were together! Jodi ruins everything and every one!

BRILLIG. .... I agree ...coconut can be Charming and wickedly funny.

Why did Nurmi ask the cash question to the gas witness? I don't know where he was going with that one.

Because Einstein-smart stabby would have made a cash purchase if she was trying to hide the gas cans. Sorry, the my client is too smart to make those kinds of mistakes isn't working for me.

Wow..that would mean perhaps tomorrow? Course if there is the sur-rebuttal, we are looking at 10 more days with the defense grinding it all to a halt w their questions.

I think ten days is optimistic if it is allowed.

[bete noire]

And just look at the way he is looking at her.........

THIS.
He looks completely SMITTEN.

=(

They probably remained wonderful friends for a long time (he did leave her his dog, after all), if not gotten back together. Jodi DOES ruin everything... even chances.

probably in the year 2017

No kidding.

I almost cried when Deanna said "He has a dog"

So sad.
Even sadder when you think the poor dog was stuck downstairs all those days, probable sensing/smelling something was wrong with his owner.

Least he is in a good home now.

HLN defense guest is talking about the gas cans. His point was "she was on her way home. It does not make much a difference." I am curious about why the cans are so important other than just one more lie.

[***JiLL***]

I feel like Juan is keeping his questioning short and sweet, the defense will make fools of themselves, Juan will re-cross to re-iterate important points, tidy up some loose ends and be finished with the witness.

I'll tell you what, when you look at the overall package, I think Deanna was the most attractive woman/person/wife we've seen. I think she's pretty and I hope he had a good reason to let her get away.

I totally agree with you, coconut. I think she is very attractive, and her physical attraction is only one facet of her appeal. She speaks eloquently, with obvious intellect. She presents as kind, honest, even tempered, loyal.

I don't trust the defense at all.

Poor Deanna. I predict Nurmi will ask her;
Did Mr. Alexander ever call you a whore? a skank? a three hole wonder? Did he tell you that you sounded like a 12 year old girl having her first orgasm?

Mainly to show the jury that she lied to them. That's pretty important.

Deanna is seriously a lovely person. Plus she is taking care of Naps which means she's an awesome Pug person too

[MartyT]

I'm surprised that Martinez did not ask Deanna about her interactions with Jodi. Would it be something that was not allowed? I remember at least one incident where Jodi was there and creeped Deanna out or something?

If it isn't allowed, I hope that it is as obvious to the jury. Today has been devastating for the defense. Arias lied shamelessly to the jury and the prosecution has highlighted this succinctly and repeatedly.

Premeditation, premeditation, premeditation has been the clarion call to the jury from Martinez since he opened. Personally, I think she started to plan the murder before the sex tape - even before she moved back to California. The gas cans, the stolen gun and mountains of lies allow a jury to apply common sense and deliver premeditated murder. Sure, there may be one dumb enough not to see it but I am hopeful that Arias will pay an appropriate price for her wickedness.

Deanna is more attractive than Arias in every way. Being human is a huge advantage.

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

I am with you on that ... I am wondering how they will approach her ... she seems so sweet. Defense team is unscrupulous though

They're going to have to be careful or risk pissing off the jury. The jury sees sweet Deanna and then looks over at lying murderous Stabby. Quite the comparison.

Curious as to how far they will try to go though. Would have loved it if JM could've asked how she felt about Alyce characterizing her relationship with TA and that Alyce thought TA was abusive towards her.

[Poppycock]

;/

[poppym]

If looks could kill.

The look Stabby gave as her eyes followed Deanna out of the court room was murderous

Can anyone tell me when closing arguments are going to take place?

She is such an arrogant piece of junk.

Have you noticed how intense JA gets with her coloring books when she's uncomfortable with who is on the stand! My partner just said, 'what the hell is she doing'?

Stabby, Stabby!

Well said, coconut.

(Posts like this are why we love him. And the funny ones. See, he doesn't always stir the pot!)

Ooohhh, but it's so much fun when he does!

[sheesh]

Because Einstein-smart stabby would have made a cash purchase if she was trying to hide the gas cans. Sorry, the my client is too smart to make those kinds of mistakes isn't working for me.

And because it's normal course of business for someone to intersperse multiple credit and cash purchases

It shows her attempt to coverup her travels in Arizona pre murder. Cans had been emptied.

Goes to premeditation.

Yep, she exudes no nastiness, just normalcy. No way this schoolteacher chose to spend all that time with an abuser.

How lovely is it that Deanna has Napolean now. How appropriate.

HLN defense guy, Dwain Cates, is an idiot. I would call LYING to a juror question a pretty big deal, that DOES make a difference.

Day 1 ~vs~ Day 51

[Harlette]

really makes you wonder if jodi was never in the picture, if traviz would have ended up marrying deanna, i have always thought it might have ended up that way

Some people just want to see rainbows everywhere. Don't worry about it. You are one of my favorite posters in this thread.

I think all of their defense attorney guests are idiots. I can't stand to watch them.
