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

[I doubt it]

Hodi doesn't get her pencils and paper in her holding cell!

And she's been sitting on a concrete slab for 2 days waiting.

And she's been sitting on a concrete slab for 2 days waiting.

YES! Makes the waiting for us so much easier, knowing she's uncomfortable!

I have noticed Beth likes to wear blue often as she has very startling blue eyes. At least that is what I have witnessed in person. She was wearing light blue yesterday as well. I have tried to boycott HLN so those observations are over the years including during the CA trial and a couple times I have watched the channel this trial.

Judge Perry is going to be on NG tonight!

Not to bring it up as it is kind of OT but did anyone read yesterday that Melvin Perry said that he was shocked with the verdict in that trial and thought that the prosecution had enough evidence to convict of M1? He went on further to say that the DT were clearly not the better attorneys. What does that say when the judge even thought you got it wrong?

then why didn't he throw it out and do a directed verdict?? he was allowed to do it

[Brillig]

I think it's one juror. Probably a male. Probably the same one Jodi always stared at and the one nurmi was talking to during closing ( looked like he stared at one juror)

Plus, you could tell there was one juror that was thinking passion/rage from the jury questions.

I think there is a chance of one holdout as well, but I would have guessed it was more likely a woman.

I would like to share that Jinosaurus' blue dress is really fabulous!

Back to Breaking News that one juror got a Sprite instead of a Diet Coke!

One of Nancy Grace's minions is probably reading this forum, and soon we will hear that Sprite factoid shouted out as a bombshell tonight!

[AnnieBelle]

Tomorrow is another day. *sigh*

[Harlette]

idk - i am not worried or think its a hold out - there was 5 months worth of testimony, over 600 pieces of evidence, and the long ass jury instructions - they could just be going over every thing, being thorough - i have said all a long there wouldn't be a verdict b4 wed. - i can see some jurors not being hold outs but want to discuss all the evidence b4 they vote

[CreepyGus]

then why didn't he throw it out and do a directed verdict?? he was allowed to do it

You can only do a directed verdict if the jury returns guilty....cannot do it for a not guilty verdict.

I loved that Judge Belvin came out with the truth like that.

Don't worry babe. I will be working so of course, the verdict will come. LOL

[Mochachino]

Thats one of the biggest things for me. The stab wounds in the back. If someone attacked me, Id do whatever I had to do to save myself and GTFO. If that persons back was to me for even a second I would run my ass out and AWAY! AND CALL THE COPS! Total bullshit.

I am in agreement with everyone saying how its been a long trial, lots of testimony to go over, these few hours arent really anything to worry about it. But my lack of patience is KILLLLLLLLING me. I am the most impatient person. Too bad we all cant be together at some bar, watching the trial, drinking a few and bs'ing about all this! lol

OT (im sorry, please skip if you arent Mochachino and please dont yell at me) Your avatar makes me smile every time I see it! Doxies are the BEST ever. I had one and she was the most amazing animal I had ever known!

Today (even though I picked thursday am for verdict) I am completely becoming ever more impatient with this jury. Just like I can't fathom Jodi's evilness, I can't fathom WHAT could keep this jury from a verdict of M1 by now????
It would be cool to get together for drinks...at some cool named bar. I'm not clever w/ names. lol Even better hanging out celebrating for justice for Travis.


(OT for meowzerz) Thanks! I'm glad Mocha makes somone other than me smile. She's my doxie doggie soulmate! She loves cats almost as much as other dogs.

[HelloItsMe]

Did they go home for the day?

[Freaktab]

Bombshell tonight:
Arias taking to Twitter, insulting Juan Martinez and.... ME!

Ego trip for NANCY!

[faq_q]

Judge Perry is going to be on NG (yes?) tonight!

If that is a question...I don't know the answer...lol. If he is on there, he loses some respect points in my opinion.

then why didn't he throw it out and do a directed verdict?? he was allowed to do it

I think that is on a guilty verdict but I could be wrong.

I loved that Judge Belvin came out with the truth like that.

Dammit....fucking autocorrect Apple POS! Thanks for correcting me, did know his name by the way

[Mochachino]

Oops I meant to reply to the first post I quoted. From Mochachino:


I remember it being brought up during the trial that Travis had allegedly had money troubles. I believe he may have either refinanced or had been trying to refinance the house. I have no doubt that a big part of that reason was Jodi.

That evil bitch! That she could be the reason for that too! She managed to take literally everything possible from Travis.

[sheesh]

Bombshell tonight!

Live video of the Arias jury from inside the deliberation room!

jinkasoras should have decided to become a telanovella star instead of a legal reporter - gawd this woman is an idiot!!

good story lorizfree.

anyone else ever see a dead body?????? (funeral homes dont count). i did. it was my elderly neighbor in the upstairs apartment. hadn't seen her in a few days, so we went up to check on her. found her between two beds half dressed. apparently she was getting dressed and died. it wasn't smelly or anything. she was really skinny so there wasn't much to decompose i guess.

I sincerely don't even know how many now. Right before that experience, my father shot himself (thankfully I didn't see that one), 2003, I watched my step dad die..2005, I watched my mom die...I became a Caregiver, and have been present with and cared for more dying people and their families than I can count..My best friend died from alcoholism @ 36 in 2008, in 2009, my sons ex-girlfriend lived down the street. Her mom had just started drinking again after 5 years sober, then her mom's boyfriend got a really aggressive form of cancer. The night he died, my son's ex-girlfriend asked me to come to her house, because her mom had just gotten home from her boyfriends passing. When I got there, she was completely fucked up. She had obviously been drinking, but was cognizant enough to walk around and slur talk. She went outside with me, and told me she took some of the boyfriends morphine. I barely knew her, but recommended to her daughter that we call an ambulance. Her daughter said she would be so angry if we did. I can honestly say that's the worst decision I've ever made. I got the mom in the bed. I checked her vitals. She kept wanting to get out of bed to take her meds, and I told her she needed to skip her meds that night. I again recommended we call an ambulance. I should have just done it, but I didn't. I thought everything was stable when I left. At 9 am the next morning, my son's ex-girlfriend was screaming and banging on my door, and when I got to her, she said she thought her mom was dead. My son, his X, her name is Taylor, and I got in my van as fast as I could, and the paramedics were pulling up just as we were. I ran in the house and her mom was on the floor in front of the couch with rigor setting in. She was in a sitting position, like she was sitting on the couch but on the floor. Taylors' current boyfriend had called 911 and attempted to give her CPR(God bless that kid) as Taylor was running up to my house. When I saw her, I just stood there as the paramedics started doing their thing. I'll tell ya, I have never experienced a guilt more horrible than that. I found out several weeks later, that she OD'd on morphine from the mom's boyfriend hospice kit. Had I called an ambulance, she would have been alive.
I've actually attended beautiful deaths, if you can imagine. People who were in the natural dying process, making sure all the family that wanted to be there would be there...making sure my patients were free of pain and as comfortable as possible...walking a family through the dying process, because it can be terrifying if you've never seen it. As twisted as it sounds, I've had my most spiritual experiences, when being with my dying patients and their families. Even when the families couldn't or couldn't handle being there, I WAS their family and loved one. I see death very differently now. I've watched birth and I've watched death. They are incredibly similar in many ways. I see death as the birth of the spirit now. I've often felt as though I've seen the spirit leave, when all of the sudden their eyes would open as wide as they possibly could, as if they were seeing the most incredible thing imaginable. Then the eyes go blank. Sorry, I could go on, but I'll spare you. Now I'm watching my brother die of alcoholism. He's still functioning, but his liver isn't well.
Anyway, just so you all know, I have a really twisted sense of humor. Probably my coping mechanism. So if I make fun of something terribly offensive to you, I apologize ahead of time.

WTF is NG doing talking about a potential acquittal on TV???

[songbirdsong]

Damn you, jury. 13 hours and nada. Here's to tomorrow.

[wasthinking]

I suspect we have an asshole hold out. A liar that said they could consider a DP case and really 'don't believe in the DP' yada yada.
With a Pinellas brain "I'll show the lynch mobs" atttitude.

[Wishmich]

Or 4 or 5.

Don't forget Casey Anthony, OJ Simpson juries.

Knucklehead juries can nullify all facts/arguments/logic/reason ..... the truth.

Ugh. Just got home from a horrid day at work and this is the first post I see. I am going to pull a Jodi on myself if they don't give her M1. Ok, I won't really. It might sting.
Is there anything good today?
