Best new term in days!! I would rep you again if I could...

Nobody believes a word out of your mouth. Why do you keep talking? -- ABC Interviewer to JA
The part that impressed me, even though she got a little defensive talking about it (understandable), was how she owned up to it and did the penance. Then she stopped. She didn't try to hide or work the system. I can respect that. She came clean in the eyes of the church as well as on the stand.
I will give Nurmi a little credt as well, he could have gotten more graphic and more personal. He didn't ask her about her sexual experiences before Travis, whether she was a virgin, what kind of sex they had, and so forth. He never asked about other men. Nurms had to get in his three hole wonder moment but that's just his go-to phrase. Juan has gas cans and Nurmi has three hole wonder. I guess with three gas cans you have three holes so there you go. Like attracts like.
And yet, Jodi, Wilmott, Nurmi and even Matt McCartney have all made unsubstantiated claims about Travis and his sex life, and no problem there? It was all Jodi's word.
And here we have a long-time friend and girlfriend of Travis' who said he never was that way, never treated her that way. I suppose we are to believe a proven liar and sociopathic stalker who murdered the man, instead?
Surely we should hear Travis' voice, his point of view. But sadly we cannot, because Jodi murdered him. So, instead we have a woman who has no proven history of being a lying liar who lies, giving her experience with Travis. I think I'll take Deanna's word over Jodi's.

I could be wrong, but I believe the majority of what Melendez testified to last time was the camera and the recovered photos from the camera. I don't remember any testimony about what was or wasn't on T's computer until Dworkin, I believe.
Ah but how brightly Deanna shone in court. Arias' vile smirking in front of the jury just served to tighten the noose further around her neck. Deanna's honesty and dignity was truly beautiful and provided a stark contrast to the ugliness of Arias' dead, ugly personality. Doing the right thing is powerful. Justice for Travis Alexander, his family and friends is a step closer today because of Deanna Reid.

Listen to the testimony. Travis never lied about being a 'virgin.' People asked, he chuckled a bit, deflected the question and let them believe what they wanted to believe. The question did not come up in a clinical setting. It was a bunch of high-school locker room banter. It's called normal--well maybe a little more than normal amongst a group of horny mormons who are dreaming of the day.

Exactly what did Nurmi do over the long week? Can't believe how unprepared he is.
Im sure Ill be ripped a new one.. or put on ignore.. but I think it needs to be said.
A lot of people here are quick to jump on the "make fun of the defense" train. Anyone that comes to help them is nothing but shit, ugly, gay, fat, gross, lazy, liar.. blah blah blah. So why when someone says something negative about the people you like, are they trolls? I agree with Biggie, she is not a good looking girl. If she was there working for the defense, I guarantee all of you would be ripping on her weight, looks ect. You get pissed when people say any thing positive about the defense and even more pissed when someone puts down the prosecution. I understand there are trolls, but to bad mouth someone because he made a mean comment is ridiculous. I have seen far FAR worse coming from regular non-troll posters here.
Now, if you will excuse me, I need to wash the dirty off for defending someone pro JA.
Karma is only a bitch if you are!
ROFLMAO the mind never forgets some things.
Lets try Robert Brown that was added to the rebuttal list recently

when was it established that being a virgin but telling people, or insinuating that you are a virgin, that equals living a lie. being virginal, being a virgin really has no relevance, other than it shows that Travis was pretty horny. WITH stabby. horny 30 yr old man. Normal. IMO, yes. living a lie? hmmm, I guess if I believed he was screwing EVERYTHING but the vacuum cleaner. And telling everyone who would listen he WAS a virgin. yes, then living a lie. Not spilling everysingle detail, like stabby, so his friends had NO clue he was NOT a virgin, virginal. I don't think that is LIVING a lie.
Meanwhile, I think lying to yourself in journals, to everyone around you. THAT is living a LIE. Just my opinion.
No one is on the stand....
LOL omg. I thought for sure Jodi was going to claim a migraine. NVM
He did have to go there. The defense has nothing else but to try and paint Jodi as the victim and Travis as someone who deserved to be murdered.
Unfortunately for Nurms, all the questioning of Travis' exes made one thing clear. That even though he may have crossed boundaries, or tried to (violating chastity, grabbing Mimi's butt), he was never egregious in crossing them; he felt bad for it; and he repented.
With Jodi, he found someone who mutually enjoyed it. In the defense's eyes, that makes Jodi a victim whom Travis disrespected. In my eyes, that made Jodi someone who enjoyed exploiting Travis' weaknesses and helping him indulge in them. I have no doubt that -- based on his behavior with all of his other exes -- if Jodi said she did not enjoy something, felt bad or didn't want to do it anymore, that he would've respected that and not done those things. That's what he did with every other woman. To me, that's Travis' pattern.
He was certainly far from a saint, but who isn't. But he was respectful and regretful of bad behavior and tried not to do it again. Until he met someone who was just as into that behavior as he was and didn't tell him it was wrong, don't do it, stop, etc. They were equals in that sexual relationship.

FIVE Witnesses today! Compared to the two months the defense took to essentially present three (yes there were more than three but it took 'em two just for three!)
That was purely for Stabby, at Stabby's direction no doubt. One more twist of the knife, so to speak
Indeed! Don't feed the trolls!
You're right. JM will clean it up on redirect if NUrmi doesn't realize his error during cross.
Deanna Reid has more class in her baby toe than Stabby has in her whole body. I have tremendous respect for her.
Maybe JM recalled Melendez to set the stage for Browning?
