This is the third day this week I have named a post Jodi Arias Trial Day 38. Who can blame me? It starts, it stops, it’s cancelled, it ends early but mostly it drones on and on. Speaking of droning on and on, the domestic violence expert is back. I believe she actually used the phrase “far out” on the stand. She seems to have enjoyed the 1970s very much. I heard on HLN yesterday that she has not ever spoken with Jodi. I may have heard that incorrectly. One of my commenters said that she did speak with Jodi, and that Jodi lied (SHOCKER!) to her about Travis. Specifically, the commenter reports that Jodi referred to the infamous masturbating to little boys story, only she claimed the pictures were on his laptop. His laptop was discovered to have no porn on it. Jodi’s story on the stand changed to Travis having actual pictures of little boys. Those were never found. The commenter says the result of the hearing was that the expert cannot speak to Jodi specifically and her entire testimony will be generalities.
HLN has said several times that this is the seventh domestic violence expert that was approached to testify. The first six refused. Juan Martinez is unusually quiet during testimony. We attribute this to the fact that her generalities about victims of domestic violence seem to be unknowingly describing Travis. I’ve heard this expert is expected to be on the stand “for a few days” and frankly I have completely lost interest.
That said, we will comment and update on the trial today in comments here. I hope everyone feels comfortable jumping in and giving opinions. I often find out new stuff I didn’t know in the comments. On boring days like this we tend to talk about all sorts of trial related things. So keep checking back and keep commenting and we will all get through the boring parts together.
I am with you I have lost interest in watching this lady testify. I live in Florida and today is a beautiful day so I am going outside to prepare my garden for some veggie plants that my mother and I bought today. I will check back in so see what I have missed (everyone here is so wonderful in keeping me informed, thank you all)
So off to the garden.
So jealous of your gardening! It’s nice here too but still chilly. I lost my bell pepper plant this week as it has dropped below freezing more than once. I only put one out as sort of a head start plant. I was sort of expecting it to freeze lol.
Meanwhile, I am glad it froze because because it kills back the damn flea population!
Let me shut up and quit driving the comments off topic.
On topic, that brunette on HLN is ….I just can’t with her.
38 or 48 It does seem endless. What a waste of time with this expert. A little off this topic according to the standards all of my friends and myself have PTSD. Just another way for them to justify themselves. I also heard Jodi say she had a nervous breakdown because she was hyperventilating damn I’ve had twenty of those I must be really sick lol
I have heard both stories about whether this expert has spoken to Jodi too-very confusing. I think it’s safe to say we’re all waiting to see what Juan will do when it’s finally his turn to question this woman!
I’m cooking for a Friday night party today and am so hoping that I will get to watch the trial while I chop, saute and bake!
What the hell is the hold up? Cameras are on but I don’t see Jodi!
HOLY MOLEY the defense is complaining about Juan signing autographs, and posing with a Dr Drew juror…lmao
wait! My live feed is not matching what HLN was just showing. And they had on the same clothes. Okay my live feed is now going. Nurmi is objecting and claiming prosecutorial conduct against Juan for posing with pictures. Nurmi is trying to ask for beth from HLN to come up and testify!
not Beth-Jinkasaurus! Your fave lol
I think Nurmi called her “Ms. Kasuarus”??? LOL kh
I heard that too hehe
Wormy is just jealous, cause no one ask for his autograph
Oh it is Jinkasaurus that is going to take the stand. Finally something interesting. EVERYONE COME BACK AND WATCH THIS!
Juan – just walk to your car and do NOT interact. HLN calm yourselves down you are being ridiculous. Shrek and Fiona – don’t be jealous because you are representing an admitted murderer and no one wants your photo.
Shrek and Fiona! LMFAO…great, great, great wit!
LOL, Shrek and Fiona– genius!
Our tax dollars at work. I dont frickin believe this. kh
They are bringing in the jury. I suspect the judge will ask them a lot of questions.
The judge asked them NOTHING. Not even the usual did you hear anything about the trial!
I should point out that Jinkasaurus looked lovely.
Cute lil ol shashay on her way out too. kh
TT.. I think Nurmi requested time next week to question the jurors individually.
This is absurd!! Although, I also think it’s doubly absurd that this jury isn’t sequestered! Huge mistake in my opinion!
Meanwhile HLN is so bored with this defendant they are showing March Madness.
On the live feed, Alyce is sharing some of her favorite movies, Like The Buring Bed and such. Jesus.
So did anyone notice that the defense, Arias and the witness are all color coordindated with red, black and cream?? Funny the court reporter matches too.
Apparently Juan has only ever walked out the front doors of the courthouse this one time and that was when he was approached. I’m sure he won’t be doing that again. However let’s all rejoice because I HOPE Jodi takes it all in and realizes that if “The Prosecutor” is so beloved, she’s up a creek!
And now the witness is a movie expert. She forgot to bring up FATAL ATTRACTION and SINGLE WHITE FEMALE…
Why is the def witness critiquing movies? kh
Nope, can’t be bothered with live feed. Will let it drone on in the background on HLN. I’m going to use my computer to look up container gardening on balconies and pictures of jon Hamm’s pants instead…
Why is Jodi wearing that fugly shiny shirt! It’s RED DAY for the defense. Did she not get the memo? Plus, lots of people are wearing red for marriage equality… does Jodi hate the gays? Just kidding. About her hating the gays. Not about the red for marriage equality thing. Why isn’t the lesbian wearing red today?
lol the lesbian has a red shirt on
What the heck does the defense want Juan to do when he is approached nicely and asked for an autograph and photo — snarl “no!” and stalk away? The man is gracious, calm and content and obviously treats people with respect, preferring to act with dignity than to be crass and huffy. I see no evidence of “rock star” arrogance in him whatsoever.
Here we go buckle your seatbelts. Witness is talking directly about Jodi now. Met with her 44 hours in the jail, (more than good doctor who was testing her). And she reviewed 7 hours of UNEDITED 48 Hours footage. Boy do I want to see THAT – they need to subpoena it!
What is it with all these “Expert Witnesses” sending Jodi books and magazines???? kh
Oh, dear. The DV lady “likes” people. Gawd. I wonder if she videoed any of her 44 hours talking to Jodi and listening to lies. Oh, and she reviewed Dr. Dildo’s reports in her work for Jodi.
Lordy…the DV lady has sent a magazine subscription and books to our Jodi. I guess the better to smuggle messages out of the jail.
Juan is giving paycheck for the prosecutor misconduct attempt this morning and objecting to everything lol
Soooo… Jodi is the victim and the survivor here? I am expecting a flash mob to pop up, all wearing red, singing “He Had It Coming” from the musical “Chicago” and dancing down the aisles at any moment.
kh
Tee heee I will if you will 🙂
LMAO!! Why not?! it’s the only thing missing from this circus!!
I lost a lot of coffee to that one… haha!
Ha! I see the red shirt on the witness now. I was sort of distracted by the Japanese kimono thing over it.
Why doesn’t WILMOTT have her DAMN QUESTIONS READY? It always seems like she is thinking, “Gee what should I ask her now?”
So sick of the blame the parents issue. I got the wooden spoon, fly swatters, pick my own switch from a tree, got hid over the head with a hairbrush for not sitting still, got the belt, and I’m just fine!
Okay fine. I am sort of a whackadoodle.
BUT I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ALL STABBY ON ANYONE!
yet.
Oh nooo! It’s a combo “daddy’s a molester” (casey anthony) and “mommy and daddy were mean to me” (menendez bros) defense! Gag me! kh
My mother used to use a fly swatter on me! That stopped when I was 12 years old and taller than her. I snatched it out of her hand one day, and she never tried that again.
UPDATE ON YESTERDAY’S HEARING:
The defense lost. The defense’s court costs will be released to the public. Should be interesting on HLN this afternoon/tonight.
Wow this witness has an amazing memory of hearsay from the last five years. I hope a fog doesn’t roll in.
I’m SO glad the defense lost and has lost TWICE in two days. Might as well make it consistent when they lose the BIG ONE.
Why did we need this five minute break? I thought the atty might need to pee but she is still in there at sidebar…
Meanwhile, I just added an interesting picture to the post above. A picture of Jodi’s broken finger that she can’t flatten out….
If every young woman who ever fell for the “It’s not actual intercourse if we do it in the butt” line or waited impatiently for a phone call after the deed was done had the same reaction as Jodi…………… well, there just wouldn’t be that many men left in the world now would there?
kh
LOL…so true.
Perfectly said khintx! IF this all even happened and IF a majority of women even did what skank did…
Well, the DV expert said that Jodi’s father was manipulative and controlling and didn’t want her mom to spend time with others. He wanted all of her attention.
Seems like Jodi followed in his footsteps

#JodiArias DV expert reviewing emails: some are missing. #Arias Judge blocked those. Lets see how far this gets
Ok Recessed until tuesday 12:30 ET. Judge and attorneys are going to call each juror back individually presumably to ask them if they saw or heard anythign about Juan this morning. I hope Juan uses the back door and studies hard all weekend for cross.
for real?? These people have more time off than actual time listening to testimony! I was hoping to hear Juan grill this DV expert this afternoon!
Can one of you smart phone people explain to a reader who is new to smart phones how to get to the comment section and how to comment? Please and thank you.
Also did no one scroll back up to see the new Jodi fingers picture? I thought you guys would be interested in that!
Omg I looked at her hands and the finger is most definitely straight! So much so that the tip is pointing back. Wow what a liar Jodi is.
Is the trial already over for today?
I just got home. Did I miss any testimony today?
nope…..Jodi killed Juan so the trial is on hold
🙂
the dv expert used the movie “enough” in that j-lo premeditates the murder of her abusive ex thats a good reference for jodi. give JM more ammo please
Jodis dv expert has been in the courtroom since jan 2 waiting to testify and able to hear all testimony, has she been able to bill the $300 an hour she gets for courttime? Ive worked where i had to travel and be on call to move equip and i was paid my 8 hour day even if i never left motel. How many hours has the case drug on since jan 2? Thats gotta be a BIG payday for her and more reason to drag her feet explaining stuff
Steven, none of what you just posted is true. The witnesses are not allowed in the courtroom before they testify. They are also instructed not to watch any media related to the case. She is only paid for her time reviewing the case, interviewing jodi and testifying.
I think Dr.Laviolette and Defense Attorney Nurmi use the same barber.
Is anyone watching HLN right now? Nancy is showing video of JA doing hand stands in the interrogation room, singing DIDO (aww, love Dido) and going through the trash can. Don’t tell me she’s going to start acting crazy to get a lesser sentence. I still can’t look at her forced frumpy face and not see the horrid picture that was his last few minutes alive. & GUESS WHAT? I can do that with my finger too, bend it so that it looks not so straight. This girl has no defense…are they really resulting to finger tricks and not thinking of the countless stab wounds and near decapitation? Where is the respect for the victim? Got me fired up, what a damn NUT!
Nevermind, I saw this was old news geez she is a nut fo sho, FO SHO! I have to admit, this is riveting stuff. The more articles I read reviewing the trial details, the more I realize that she really thought she would get away with it! Serious delusions, I just can’t! I doubt she was ever truly suicidal, she didn’t want to die, she just wanted to get off Scott free and find a new boyfriend to cling on. Yikes!
forgive me if i was wrong thought that beth or jink on hln said that the dv lady and det flores were able to be in court
I missed court today so I’m going to try and locate it online someplace. I just wanted to comment that if anyone is interested, that wierd 3-hole wonder is innocent site has court documents of hearings concerning the case and other documents. The examination of the 10 letters that she wanted to admit into evidence and proof that she wrote them, and not Travis, is also on the site…. In any case, after reading the plea deal proposal, it’s clear to me why Juan hates her so much!
As for the witness, I expect Juan to bring that up Jodi originally told Alyce and another lady that the images of young kids was on the computer! Additionally, I wonder why it wasn’t brought up that Jodi washed the sheets. Washing sheets, taking the weapons, faking letters, lying, etc. are not the actions of a battered woman defending herself.
I can’t wait for the cross of this witness.
Yes her cover-up alone shows guilt. If it was truly an accident, she woulda called 911 and been found crying in a corner. I am not sure if you can call it premeditation, maybe her decision to murder him was a quick one in the moment? Call it satisfaction then, as she showed no remorse. Even without definitively proving premed she is still guilty. (Although I think common sense dictates premeditation here, with the gas tanks, water bottles, and stalking..)
Dang, I forgot, tell your smart phone user to try downloading Opera mobile version….must be the mobile version. It’s half way down the page – at least it was when I downloaded it.
learned how to comment but now cant read past the #46 comment my phone is like watchimg hln an hour behind.
