JUAN COMPLETES HIS CLOSING ARGUMENT............AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!! *ROOOOOOAR!!!!!!

[Freaktab]

Reminds me of Led Zeppelin
DAZED & CONFUSED

Been Dazed and Confused for so long it's not true.
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
soul of a woman was created below.

You hurt and abuse tellin' all of your lies.
Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize.

Damn it Cocopop! Stabby will not ruin Led Zeppelin!

I think the only way we will see real tears from Jodi is if she is sentenced to death. Anything else, and I believe she won't break down. If she has any real belief in the afterlife -- aside from her phony Mormon act -- I think death is the only thing she fears because, well, the idea of eternal damnation and hell would probably do that to a person.

I'm sure she would love to walk free, but I don't think she's had it so bad in jail. Prison will be tougher for sure, but she would still have friends/family visits, tv and library privileges, her ability to make her little drawings. And, most importantly, she will retain her fans who will look at her as a martyr; and she will no doubt have friends in prison, other criminals who are sympathetic to her; other people she can manipulate.

This reminds me of Dumb and Dumber! I wonder if Jen can ride a mini bike after selling the shaggin waggin?

I have been watching trials for about 25 years, or so. This is one of the best prosecutions that I have ever seen. He did an EXCELLENT job, and his explanations of murder in the 1st, and what they need to find, was in a language that anyone could understand. I am confident that there won't be any doubt in their minds as to what points they must find or agree on. Nicely done, JM! God, I wish I knew where to get an autographed portrait of my hero! As to the defense, they look deflated. With good reason. Not so many smirks and smiles today, huh, Jodi??!!

[Sneakers the Wonder Dog]

Now, what does her family do? Go to a nearby restaurant and try to think of something to say? Do they bemoan that damned gun? Do they talk about the weather? Do they talk about what a damned fool Jodi is? Or does their collective heart ache for travis?

Try and decide how they're going to divvy up the crap they've been storing for her?

Try and figure out who would actually pay cold hard $$$ for the forged pedo letters?

[songbirdsong]

I think Palin is going to ask Juan for his autograph after this!

She might be beginning to completely disassociate herself from Stabby. She knows it is over!

I think you're exactly right. Nurmi appears to have done so a long time ago and became resigned to the fact that she was his fuck-up cross to bear. Willmott? She's just now coming around.

---

The explanation of how triple-killing someone = premeditation really hit it home, at least in my opinion. I guess that was a result of my own flawed understanding of the term. The difference in demeanor and presentation on the part of Martinez was incredible and effective (granted, I'm a fangirl and want to carry him around in my pocket).

I feel much better about this than I did this morning.

[Brillig]

i actually clapped out loud even though i am alone watching this in my living room

Me too. I couldn't help myself.

Great minds think alike? Either that, or maybe we are both loons...

[gypsy1197]

JW looked absolutely defeated. Thought the murderess was actually gonna cry after the jury left. She and her "team" know they're screwed. Bye bye Jodi, hello needle.

Juan was amazingly amazing! Brilliant, powerful closing.

God bless the Alexanders, this was an extremely emotional day for them.

even the Juan haters are singing a new tune... pretty much unanimous agreement that he did a stellar job today.

Precisely why I'm hoping for the death penalty. I don't care how long she sits on Death Row while appealing her case....I only care that it's WHERE she sits her evil ass down until she takes her trip down along the green mile. She does not deserve any more than that.

Maybe it is a good sign, but someone by the name of Travis is going to lease my property!!

Juan Martinez says she planned the murder starting on May 26th.

Jodi looks up.

This time we feel a sudden wave of cold static. Then we see the switch.

See her skin go slick and buttery. We watch her jaw reshape and her coloring stop. Then Jodi's eyes begin to drift apart.

The right eye unplugs and drifts lazy to the edge of the table, reading the darkness there, tracking the back and forth and back. The left eye watches him. Peeking at him and the photo of Travis's back. The wax head twists and turns to the gallery. It mouths something. We've seen it do this before. it doesnt remind us of anything human.

Sitting next to her are her attorneys. The court officer with his finger on the stun button. Her mom, aunt, brother, and grandmother sit behind her and to the left along with donovan her only friend in the world. We arent feeling any kind of fear. They don't sense evil in the woman in front of them. It's not rage or murderous lust. its blankness, a horrible nothing. A wall has fallen. There is nothing behind it. In this moment we know. Jodi is not Jodi. We never knew her, it is because there is nothing to know.

Chillingly Vivid. I'll buy your book....all you have to do is write it.

[Brillig]

And I just have to say it....

[denn]

Anyone doubt that Nurmi will finish up in time for Martinez to finish his closing after him tomorrow? I do. Wonder how the judge plans on handling that.

I was wondering the same thing.

[Youngblood]

Peeking at the pictures. She loves to admire the handiwork that she begged Flores to let her see.

This is great!

[deanna1247]

same here because when the Judge read them earlier it was confusing as hell. at least to me.

I loved that too! Hopefully, Mr. N won't get them all confused about it again tomorrow.

[phantompoet]

did he ever mention the fact that travis attic was empty and no boxes? So no boxes no ornaments no ornaments no angel no angel no pedo story

[AnnieBelle]

Now, where IS my sake!!!!

[Reaper-Creeper]

And up next is.......



Jen and Jodi!

[Ruthven]

Of all the days I miss the most of! I managed to catch 20 min a few hours ago, including some highlights on HLN and the last half hour. It made me love this man even more. Juan was fantastic. An absolute legend in my eyes.

Immensely written Metis. And chillingly accurate.

Juan is done, and he was BRILLIANT!

BRAVO JUAN BRAVO !!!

Applause, Applause! Really powerful Mr Martinez!

Applauding here too ladies! Then to see Travis all smiley and alive, and picturing the image Juan put on screen, I was, and still am, so choked.

This family have to be living on their last nerve, may the get the justice they deserve. I BELIEVE 100% they will.

[denn]

So either way, if Travis had a gun or didn't have one, she is screwed. I think she realized that as JM was reading the juror instructions.

reps x a gazillion....I shouldn't have to spread it.

not an exact quote but classic: "call me crazy but if someone comes in my house and starts to stab me they are no longer welcome"
