Today is the day we have been waiting for. The prosecution is about to make minced meat out of Jodi Arias. I am trying not to get too excited because the way this trial is going, Jodi could suddenly take ill, or plead guilty or someone on the legal teams could get hit by a bus…. It seems like we are always taken to the edge and then nothing happens. The prosecutor has a reputation of being VERY aggressive to everyone on the stand. In fact during the prosecution’s case I felt he was pretty hard on his own witnesses so I fully expect this to be a blood bath.
The past couple days we have been nice and chatty here in these threads and that is awesome. Today I hope to add some specifics since it seems that In Session is off the air in some areas and people are wanting updates so if you have the time and want to include updates in your comments as to what is going on that would be great. I lost my Internet A LOT yesterday and In Session seems to deliberately run commercials in during the good parts. So let’s try to keep each other up to speed. Ask questions if you miss stuff and if I saw it I will fill you in. Grab your popcorn boys and girls, it’s almost time!
thank you SO much TT, for keeping a thread open to those of us, who, along with you, are super interested in this trial! #PinsAndNeedles
Totally Agree!
I hope he’s not such a bull-dog that he turns the jury off. Nothing worst than a overly exaggerated, animated and yelling person to turn ppl off.
I’m at home today so I’m watching on tv (trutv) not over the computer. I can fill in if needed. I’m not a fast typist. But, will jump in if you don’t post a critical moment b/c then I’ll know you’re connection is acting up.
Omg!!! I already love him. Screw my errands I can’t leave!!!
they are in a side bar —
And we are off. He is already going in on Jodi. For some reason he started with her calling her sister stupid on the phone call and is showing pictures of her and her sister. He is moving some photos into evidence and defense objected (lack of foundation) sidebar. Photos were admitted.
I think the reason they go to side bar so much is to give Jodi time to think of how she will answer Martinez.
side bar over
omg he is questioning her about her memory or lack thereof
Jodi is composed but a little bit…..smartassy…sort of. She wants to add things and he wants yes or no answers.
Yes, I think she is too, but won’t win any points with the jury acting like that. I bet she was hell for her parents growing up! Ugh!
he asked her if she felt it was ok that she went to travis’ house after they broke up, he just said she peeked into travis’ house!
the jury knows she was a spying on travis after they broke up
holy crap, she just said she was lokking in his window and travis’ was making out with another girl and it upset her – mind you they were broken up!
Love it! ” judge she won’t answer the question!!”
Jodi is not exactly smirking, but she has that erie smile on her face.. she’s smug.
I’ve noticed she is always trying to suppress that creepy smile when she talks about their sex escapades. I think she enjoyed every bit of the sex and loves talking about it in front of the world. Definitely a sociopath.
upset she saw him making out, she called her father crying and upset. she later talked to travis b/c it upset her. he asked her why she talked to travis if they were broken up. he called her territoral. she said no. he called her jealous, she said she was not.
btw her hair is more adult today.
ugh…her hair is fugly. I heard Nancy G refer to her as “stunning” on her show. Maybe it’s me, but I find her mousy and highly unattractive. She does not have one nice feature. Even her mannerisms annoy me.
he’s calling her out on her lies. she admitted she lied about a text message to travis to try and make travis jealous. this is going to be good!
Almost seems like she is trying to make the prosecutor sound stupid, but instead it’s backfiring and making her sound stupid. You know what monogamy means.
Also, LOL at her needing confirmation from someone else that he was dead.
he asked her if she an travis were monogomous and about her ending up in burns’ bed.
he’s calling her out on her hand
in another side bar. most likely to address the bent finger or lack of….
Holy smoke!!! This prosecutor is on fire! I had to take a double take at the tv when his first statement was “This is a picture of you and your dumb sister!”. All within 60 seconds. She looks like she will explode any moment…. but you can tell she is restraining herself.
I noticed that too and wished she had!
This man Juan Martinez is my new hero. He’s a bit argumentative but I have a feeling the whole jury is cheering him on. She’s a psychopath and is smirking because she thinks she is smarter than everyone. LOVE THIS and I have a damn meeting I have to go to! Fill us in Tamara.
another sidebar, still talking about the finger…she’s holding her own but definately not in command of the courtroom.
I can’t WAIT to watch Nancy Grace tonight lol!
Thanks for all the great updates everyone!! This cross examination is going to be great. Tamara, my channel finally came on…thank goodness. And, you are so right, she is looking very smug today.
Whaaa my whittle finger hurt…so I sliced and diced Him 27 times!
Oooopsie! Forgot I was keeping a journal…. another gap I suppose….
talking about her journal and nothing being in the journal about travis’ hurting her finger!
she admits she loved him in the journal but nothing about the man she loved, hurting her! boom! bam! wow! pow! lol….
some ppl just need a little make-up. i wonder if she didn’t sleep last night – in order to look like she’s the walking dead.
another sidebar, this time regarding her journal and it’s entries…
she’s trying to be sly in her answers and he’s not having it….
she wrote in her journal that she turned down 4 dates.
nothing happening, she is reading a journal entry — boy she reads slow…..
I just started following this case in the past few days… This girl is smug as hell on the witness stand .
These breaks with Jean Casarez and Mike Brooks are so annoying.
first of all who keeps journals anymore! that is a terrible idea if you are one day planning on murdering your ex-boyfriend.
not doubt she’s trying to conjure up some lies in her head right now…..
did anyone see that guy passing a note to the bailiff?
what guy? She’s the slowest reader in America, so I went to get me something to eat. Come back and they are on recess. Did I miss anything?
This has got to be excruciatingly painful for Travis’ family to watch her on the stand. I don’t know if I could sit there and watch her … sitting there all smug and with that smirk on her face. She just comes across as having no remorse. I wonder if the jurors see that in her too? I would love to know what the jurors are thinking right now!
If she realizes he busted her major lie about the finger, she will wipe that smug look off her face.
Okay, lovin Juan Martinez! He is a pitbull! Had her hands shaking within minutes of questioning…. but then here come all these sidebars…. she is able to regain her composer!!! If he gets on a roll with all the pics he will rattle her for sure!!!
No doubt she will compose and relax her nerves during the break. However, her testimony was so full of lies and bull that no amount of composure will save her. She is dead girl walking.
These are great posts! I’m at work and can’t live stream trial on computer – blocked – so I’m enjoying everyone’s comments on trial/prosecutor today!
The big take away from today:
She testified previously that Travis threw her down & kicked how and that’s how her finger became bent. Yet, today he got her to admit the injury happened in June.
“Ma’am isn’t it true the injury happened in June not January?” Her response “yes”
Also, the jury knows about some of the crazy stuff that she’s done…especially her stalking of him. An abused woman doesn’t stalk their abuser. If someone is controlling you, you don’t go to them.
Chopping away at her lies little by little.
Is it just me or is Jodi sitting more upright and poised for a fight with the Prosecutor as opposed to when she was practically cowering and pathetic while her attorney was babying her on the stand? I think her ability to “keep it together” will not withstand this entire cross examination.
she seems the same to me
court is back in session
Excellent, just got out of a meeting. Let’s discuss the camera, gun, rope, knife, gas cans, rental car, and her not remembering any of it.
back on the stand talking about her not mentioning the pop rocks or any other kinky crap in her journal….not mention of the finger in the journal either…..basically going over her journal.
TT, Are you out running errands or still watching? About to get juicy I think. Pitbull will want to leave the jury with somethign really bad to think about all night…
she wrote in her journal about fullfilling every fantasy they could.
she wrote “we” in her journal regarding the sex fantasies, instead of him or his fantasies. in other words, she thought up some of those things too. yet, she tried to make him out to be some kinky unconventional guy.
He’s getting upset and animated and she’s more collected…he just got her to admit she liked some of their sexual escapades….
I’m back from errands but still working at home afk for the most part.
Hey, P could you combine some of your posts so that they are longer but less frequent? I only ask because after 100 comments the page changes, which I guess is fine… but it would be easier for people to read if things were more bunched up. 🙂 And thanks for the reporting!
PS if anything, Jodi is smugger than ever. Smartassy with a huge grin.
she’s trying to be cute and short with the prosecutor.
Ohhh no she didn’t!!! She just smarted off to the Prosecutor…. pissing him off is not going well for her…. GUHHH!!!
i know this girl is crazy…i love their exchange regarding the reading of the journal can calling the police.
still talking about the tootsie roll pop and pop rock sex….
still talking about the tootsie roll pop and pop rock sex, and how if she didn’t like it or want it, she never wrote down anything to indicate that.
lol, he just asked her if she knew what a crime part…this is so funny. she is so ignorant and out of her league.
needs he’s getting her to admit how “SHE” feels about braids and pig-tails, as opposed to how travis felt about them…this is so funny….tune in if you can folks.
in intermission or sidebar….so basically a few minutes ago, he asked her if she called the police regarding anyone reading her journal. she said no that’s not a crime. he said, so are you a lawyer now. do you know what a crime is……now we are back.
now playing a part from the so called-sex tape. and he’s asking her about the braids again.
still talking about the braids, she said something was implied. he said implied, well let’s play it again! this girl is such an idiot.
This poor family has to listen to the dead man’s VOICE talking dirty to her while she sits there and smirks. She should be bawling right now, taht’s why she’s a psychopath. Paris Hilton is a better actress. Her attorney is desperately trying to stay engaged throwing in an objection now and then. And looses…
he just asked if the reason she didn’t log into her journal the finger incident and the pop-rock inident is b/c they didn’t happen.
she said they did happen….he asked her if it happened then if she got medical attention.
he asked her if she went crying to her dad about travis making out with another girl, why didn’t she tell her father about travis breaking her finger.
now bringing up her walking in on travis pleasuring himself while looking at a young boy and how she didn’t even write that in the journal! bam!
he asked her a question, she just said – i already answered your question. see liars got irritated when you catch them in their lies.
She is clearly going right back at the Prosecutor… Basically showing she isn’t fearful of men… This is showing within a short period of time when confronted she loses control… Now comparing Juan to Travis in the tone and volume of how he is talking to her… Just dug her grave!!!
I sooooo agree Sammie. If she can go toe for toe, she wasn’t fearful of Travis’ at all. She’s cute and short in her answers, almost arrogant in her responses. No way she was a wavering wall flower that abused by Travis.
asked her if she called child protective services when she saw him looking at pics of little boys, she didn’t go to the police dept. or no one even though she made a big deal out of it in her testimony…..
basically, she wrote in her journal how nothing noteworthy happened…so he is questioning her on her pop-rock story, the pedophile story, the broken finger story, etc. if all those things did happen, that she would have wrote about them in her dairy and she didn’t. essentially, he’s calling her a liar.
she thinks she’s cute, she’s about to laugh.
he just told her she can remember all about the sex, but little of anything else. they are in an exchange regarding her memory and she thinks she’s cute. she’s trying to take this guy on.
he asked her when she has a memory problem and she said when men like you are screaming at me. well, he just caught her in a lie. if travis was screaming at her during all of his rages, then how does she remember those encounters so well? she told you she was an idiot….regardless, now they are in side-bar.
that should read when does she has a memory problem.
prosecutor is not talking in a lower more deliberate tone.
Great – how did I get dragged in to this? #Mimi
I was just thinking that Mimi.
This chick is out of her tree. This is what it would have been like if Casey A. had taken the stand. Baez was smarter than I gave him credit. This one is going down.
no kidding Sunny….
nothing going on in court right now, just reading over text messages.
tree??? LMFAO…. I was wondering what color the sky was in “Jodi Land”? The facial expressions she is engaging in with the jury is completely inappropriate.
and she’s trying to be a smart ass while looking directly at the jury. huge phucking mistake!
…and it isn’t even her tree. It’s a movie reference. Johnny Dep, my love.
he asked her if she was a practicing mormon, she said “yes, sort of”
he’s using the text messages to completely burst her masturbation lie.
another side bar
I don’t think she realizes how stupid she looks, hopefully the jury isn’t from pinellas az..lol..I thought I was over the trauma.
Thanks for the updates P. I wouldn’t even follow if not for Tamara posting on it but it is a very bizarre trial. And I love bizarre.
Hopefully, the jurors are smarter in AZ.
He just asked her if her lack of memory has to do with the questions or the volume of the speaker and she just said “NO” What?! She said it had to do with the length of the questions. She didn’t say that a few minutes ago.
He is still working to burst her lie regarding the masturbation. No mention of masturbation in any of her TEXT messages that day.
basically, she is saying he called her all day trying to get in touch with her but she didn’t return his calls. records show when he called her, she called him back. all of these missed calls or ignored calls she’s claiming, are not showing up in the records.
she’s trying to be cute and distinguish b/w cell and landline. she knows her ass is busted.
Does anyone know if she was offered any kind of plea deal before the trial? Her attorneys should have advised her to take it!
I’m not aware of any plea. I would think though if they did, she turned it down. Remember, this is someone who wanted to represent herself.
Early they reported her attorneys offered a second degree murder plea and Juan Martinez turned it down due to the “overkill” factor….
They went on to say her attorneys wanted 2nd degree murder which had a max of 22 yrs. With good behavior and over population and what not it would end up being 16 yrs. But they wanted time served (4 yrs). The max she would serve than would be 12 more years and Mr. Martinez declined their offer. He wanted her on the stand and he wants her to pay!
OMG, she said she went over to his house and they had sex after seeing him with the pic of the little boy. records show she texted him and she wanted to see HIM. he in turn told her, he was going to be out! She texted him back to ask how long he would be out…..in other words, busted her in her lie. And another text is showing HE gave her money.
in other words, when would she have went to his house? when did he text her about wanting her to come over? it’s now in those text messages that for sure.
now on a break for 20 minutes. looks as though they were about to bring in more telephone records, possibly landline records this time – b/c she insist there were plenty of calls from travis – even tho the records do not show that.
I did not know that she tried to represent herself, until Tamara told us yesterday. You are right…if she was narcissistic enough to think that she could provide herself great counsel with her own legal expertise, she would never take a plea.
I think it was something about the pictures that made her change her mind about representing herself.
my understanding was that she tried to get admitted into evidence, some forged (presumably forged by jodi herself) letters that she asserted were from Travis, wherein he allegedly admits to having pedophilic (sp?) thoughts/tendencies. when that submission was denied into evidence by the judge (due to the issue of forgery and the fact that jodi could not produce any of the ‘original’ correspondence), she then told the judge that she was, “in over her head”, and additional council was provided.
I don’t know I see it differently. Look she is crackerdog for sure but Martinez seems scattered. He’s being dragged into her scum, arguing over semantics. It’s petty and off putting. Let her talk and she will hang herself. Her obsessiveness is oozing out. She was beaming when answering “yes” to “did Travis ejaculate twice that night”?. It was like, see me, my power, that was me. I am special.
Where is her father? Where are Travis’ parents?
She does smirk a lot. Don’t know where her dad is today. But, his parents are both deceased I believe. I read someplace that he was raised by his grandparents.
Im so glad you brought this all up. The only shows i watch are RH, BBW, BBWLA, Mob Wives, and 48 Hours Mystery, so id heard about this case but didnt even know shed dropped the story about the intruders. After the episode i even talked to my boyf about its being the first one id seen with such little mystery. I started getting more angry with this woman after reading about the pedophilia allegation, and seeing the photo of the body in the shower. Im shocked by people defending her… There were outrageous comments on abcnews. Wonder if last year those same people were saying Kaylee Anthony “deserved it”.
Since coming back from lunch, they have been discussing aspects of her testimony. Nothing that she testified to such as: pop-rock sex, child porn, beatings/abuse, broken finger, etc. was ever written in her diary and never discussed with anyone.
She was saying she never disclosed anything regarding Travis. He asked her if she remembered asking someone if they disclosed to the prosecution that she saw Travis watching porn on the computer. Of course she didn’t remember it.
Overall, his tone is since there is a lack of phy proof regarding all the things she testified to, then how are we to believe they happened as she say they did. In other words, she’s a liar. She insists they did happen though.
She’s being a smart ass for some of the testimony. She’s having a hard time with some of her answers b/c when you lie, you have to shape your response to fit into whatever lie you gave – my opinion only. As far as her being stressed when ppl yell at her or in situations of stress as she told the prosecutor, I ask again, how can she remember other things so well? Those situations were equally as stressful… I hope the jury caught onto that.
Still on break for the next five minutes….
back in session
HEY P!!!!! CAN YOU MAKE YOUR POST LONGER BUT LESS FREQUENT? THAT IS DON’T POST AFTER EVERY FEW WORDS BUT AFTER A FEW SENTENCES? THANKS!
sorry for caps I think you missed my earlier request
she’s looking down, has a blank look on his face, almost sad…..
As predicted, looking over more telephone records…
Patricia (P) PLEASE SCROLL UP AND READ MY COMMENTS!!!!
I can’t believe her attorneys wouldn’t check the phone records b4 letting her get on the stand to tell that lie about him calling her non-stop.
another side bar….
I missed your earlier post. My apologies. Will do.
Ohhh wowwww…..
There was a hearing regarding Travis being a pedo. He asked her if she tried to get someone to lie during that hearing, she said “no”.
Brief side-bar
Now looking thru some magazine…
Now another side-bar
She’s looking sad and blank faced again.
Basically, is she lying about Travis and was she trying to get other ppl to lie about him?
Still in side-bar…..
Omg!! The magazines!!!
Remember when she said some guard pushed her into doing some interview? He is asking her who that was. She doesn’t know. Then she changed it to the guard encouraged her to do the interview.
She wrote something in a magazine that read “directly contradicts what I’ve been saying for over a yr”. Another entry said “you fucked up what you told my attorney the other day” Another entry says: “Get down here and see me asap before you talk to them again and before”
The are looking at the magazine b/c it contains hand written notes. And the above quotes are from her, stuff that she wrote. How will she ever explain her way out of this one?
Side bar
Back from side bar
She wrote cryptic notes in a magazine – as criminals do – and these are some of those notes. Do they reference her trying to get together her story about Travis?
Ha, ha, haaa….not as smart as she thought.
He dropped that subject. I wonder if he will revisit during the rebuttal. Maybe he will call the person that she tried to convince to lie!!!!
Also, dod you notice that he spent a lot of time asking about getting some cosmetic stuff done in monterey? He asked if they did hair at that salon ….. Maybe she got her hair dyed there!
P, is this a twitter account? You are annoying me with your constant updates and I agree with TT. I would rather give opinion and observation. I don’t need to read every single little thing.
Well, damn, you don’t need to be rude about it. Certainly don’t mean to annoy Queen Eleanor. I would apologize but it’s not your blog & my intent was to keep those who didn’t have access updated so I won’t.
To all others: the trial is in recess until Monday. They left off at June 2-3. So, Monday should be good.
Tamara, certainly didn’t mean to hijack your blog. Eleanor, you know what you can do.
Have a good evening everyone.
Good day,
Patricia
thank you for the updates P ! you were only trying to be helpful, i appreciate your input! 🙂
Sorry, Patricia, but you ignored TT, several times. Go on Twitter. And you know what YOU can do. 🙂
She didn’t ignore her, she simply didn’t see it. Big difference. But again, you’re not the blog owner so you we can ignore.
I didnt mind your updates….in fact appreciated them. Ppl dont have to read what they dont want to
Eleanor: No clue who you are and I don’t really care. Since TT only asked P to consolidate posts (and she eventually did), not stop entirely, I don’t see what the problem is. Saying yo agree with her changes nothing. Stop ass kissing. It will get you nowhere.
P – thanks for the updates. I really wasn’t following the trial until the posts started here on the blog about it.
Listen, Karma, I don’t know or care who YOU are. You are a hypocrite chiming in, after telling me that it’s between TT and P. My post is between me and P.
My opinion is that I found P’s constant posts to be invasive and irritating. And I stand by it. Therefore, you vapid twat, that is not “ass kissing.”
You need to work on your reading comprehension as nowhere did I say it was between TT and P. Congrats on reading words that weren’t there. And yes, you were ass kissing.
Oooh aah an idiot on the big old internets called me a twat. Waaaa. Try again?
TT actually asked commenters to keep us updated if they could, and while I also found the constant one line updates annoying, it was clear that P was just trying to be helpful. Being a twat to her is totally uncessary. Also, learn the meaning of the word hypocrite, because Karma wasn’t being one.
Thank you Karma and the others for the support. Eleanor, actually it was b/w Tamara and I. Tamara as the blog owner and myself as the contributor. No one asked for your two cents. In fact, you interjected AFTER the fact – after I understood what was acceptable. By the time you butted in, I saw her message and course corrected. There was no need for you to get involved. And, no I did NOT ignore her. I just didn’t see the post.
The matter is now over, so I’m over it. But for you to get bent out of shape about someone else commenting on the matter is laughable. So Queen Eleanor can comment on a matter but no one else can? Get real. Next time mind your own business before you get bent out of shape at someone else for commenting.
Now that I know what’s acceptable Tamara, if I can contribute Monday I would be happy to. If I can’t I’ll be here reading it just like others. My apologies again and I don’t want to spam your blog so now I’m done with the matter.
Have a great weekend all.
Patricia
how simple it would be to just scroll past comments that you don’t want to read.
Y’all crack me up. I sort of agree with everyone. I really appreciated P’s updates but the shortness of them was a bit annoying…ie “she’s looking down”. New comment “at some phone records…” etc. It’s much more cohesive when you post A LOT less times with more information from a readability standpoint. ALSO, all those posts sort of over inflate the comments… and cause my views software to over inflate my numbers… lots of reasons.
But it’s all straightened out now. No need for a blood bath. Can’t we all just get along and hate on Jodi? 🙂 I wat EVERYONE back on Monday when I hopefully won’t be so busy. It’s spring cleaning time at Chez Tamara for like the first time in ….welll you don’t want to know. I am covered in bleach and paint. blech.
Wow I had heard about this trial but these last couple of weeks or so have lacked the time to watch. I appreciate the updates and enjoyed reading them. I hope to be able to watch it when it resumes next week..I love stuff like this and I am sure its a matter of time before ID does a special on it…deadly women or something like that lol
The updates where great today Thank you. The opinions about the trial were also appreciated. I hope the jury sees the smugness and the lies like we do. I just don’t see her getting away with this and if she doesn’t get the death penalty she deserves at least to spend the rest of her natural life behind bars.
This girl is really scary. She’s fighting for her life and she’s smirking and squabbling with the prosecutor!!! She is definitely nuts… No doubt about it. She thinks she’s smarter than him and she’s trying to frazzle him. Is this what she did to Travis?
She’s not shaking and trembling like a chiwawa now! She is so sick she believes her lies
I see a future hour- or two-hour “Snapped” episode in our future!!
Can anyone answer the following questions for me?
Who is this Bryan Carr (who was on JVM last night) and how long has he known Jodi Arias?
Also why don’t they have court on Fridays?
i don’t know how long that Carr dude claims to have known Jodi, or who he is (other than a dunderfuck) but i know the presiding judge has other cases on her docket, so that may be why the Arias court case isn’t heard on fridays.
Who is this guy Bryan Carr and how long has he known JOdi? He was on JVM last night.
It seems Bryan Carr knew her through mutual friend on FaceBook but that he he finally meet her face to face a little over a year ago when he went to visit her in jail. He said he feels a real connection to her because his own sister suffered through a volatile relationship so he understands where Jodi is coming from. I think he’s a sicko looking for a hit of fame!
OMG, he’s such a desperate, empty-headed famewhore. What a POS. He “falls” for her notoriety (and pretty face) and now he “knows” her. He can kiss a horse’s hairy, dingleberry riddled ass! I agree that he’s a sicko!
Ill be relying on updates! Big winter storm hit mid-West yesterday/last night and the cable is out!! I’m pissed!!
I hope you and your family are safe and nothing was harmed or destroyed, Emma!
OK, I just figured out why Jodi Arias aggravates me. She always over-answers. I love the way Martinez will constantly say, “I didn’t ask you …” in a clear attempt to obtain precise responses. Chick cannot answer any question straight. She always adds unneccessary mumbo jumbo. I think she does this out of sheer hubris and arrogance believing herself to be so intelligent. I hope Martinez absolutely fillets this one by the time he’s done. I love his aggression and he needs to keep it up, not lay off. the jury is not supposed to like or dislike him but are supposed to review and judge on facts only.
Liars always offer too many details as well. It’s just one of their tells.
Some of the announcers keep mentioning how intelligent she is but I’m not seeing it. She seems very unpolished, frequently misuses words and in fact has a very basic vocabulary. Someone should have told her not to use the phrase “pissed off” in her testimony. It sounds very low rent.
So agree with you! Oh and did you notice she could not help herself when she announced with glee to Martinez that she wasn’t stressed “except during sex.” To me, that was a flag of what she was really all about — fatal attraction. do you agree? what are your thoughts?
Absolutely a fatal attraction. In the phone tape Travis complimented her about something sexual and the way she answered “really!?”….she sounded like an over-anxious giddy school girl. Seems she was willing to go along with anything just to be with him.
I think she is very well-spoken for someone who is essentially self-taught after dropping out of high school. She supposedly has taught herself Spanish while in jail.
I have a few problems with this case. You would think that premeditated murder would include a clean up plan or an attempt to make it look like a break-in.
Also the prosecution thinks that the stabbing happened BEFORE the gunshot and I just do’t think she is physically capable of stabbing a live man so many times with incurring some injuries herself at the very least.
I think they are claiming that she did in fact hurt her hand in the attack. She had two fingers bandaged at her new boyfriends house (cant remember his name)
look at her hubris, she thinks she’s too intelligent and far above the law, and she had a clean up plan in place, the new man? the costco case of water? she stopped in arizona on this road trip between california and arizona. she isn’t as smart as she attempts to portray herself, and she’s not even aware of it. that much was clear in her attempts to go head to head with Martinez Thursday
Yeah, but that was likely a result of all her stabbing. If he could have gotten at her there should have been big bruises, nail claws…something. Doncha think?
The new boyfriend also said that she wore long sleeve shirts when she was visiting him. Which he bought was odd because it was in hot weather. So she could have had other injuries that she covered up. He also claimed on the stand that she was a lot stronger than she looked.
I believe he said they only made out while she was there…another indication that she might have been trying to hide defensive wounds beneath her clothing.
And as far as her strength, if being able to move a deceased body is any indication of one’s strength, then she must have the strength of 10 average women. I say this bc my bf had a seizure and when I called 911 they told me to move him from the sofa to the floor. I put the phone down and tried and I could not move his dead weight even an inch and he wasn’t nearly as big as Travis. Most people don’t realize how hard it is to move a body, so I’d guess that she was incredibly strong
she killed Travis in a bathroom, all tile, he was wet, and bloody, not hard to drag a body that’s slippery…
Speaking of nails I gotta say when they keep showing the shower pic of his back, it looks like he has nail/claw marks all down his back. Do/did you see it too?
I am completely intrigued with the pics in the shower. Glad you brought them up, dlister! The photos show what i perceive as terror in his eyes. The one where he has his arms across his chest appear as though she has him posing in a coffin! This is purely speculation however, I have no doubt he was well aware he was not involved in something provocative but more of a life or death scenario! Who poses with fists clenched folded across their chest when they are having a sexual encounter… Just my thoughts before tomorrow….
I think she shot him first and he was still alive so she started stabbing him.I also think he was trying to get away from her because most wounds are on his back.He finally fell right outside bathroom and she cut his throat.She probably intended to kill/shoot him in the shower so there would not be a mess in bath or on her, but like I said Travis didn’t die at first and tried to protect himself the best he could with a bullet in his head. I wanted to jump in the tv screen and slap her.Surprised judge didn’t call her out on being so argumentative. GO MARTEINEZ!
the bullet was the last thing, there was no hemmorhaging around it because he’d already bled out.
