Someone just dropped this picture in my email box of Alyce out for some dinner Tuesday night at Pei Wei with Jennifer Willmott and a third woman who may be Maria Dela Rosa, the mitigation specialist. Apparently, she was receiving some last minute advice before jumping back into the frying pan on Wednesday. Perhaps with three the ladies got egg roll? It seems this meeting was ladies only. Make of that what you will. Thanks for the picture anon friend of Tamaratattles!
I am putting up the Wednesday trial post now because I am up late and wide awake. I sort of have my days and nights backwards these days. Trial is set to begin at 9:30 on Wednesday so after Team Nurmi makes his mistrial motion and Alyce takes a few pee breaks we should be going by 10:30 or so their time.
As always we will be busy updating everyone on the major developments and points of outrage in the comments. Everyone is welcome to join right in! If it is your first post, you’ll have to wait until my lazy butt gets out of bed before they show up! Happy trial watching!
Jodi seems to be loving Alyce’s testimony today:
Love the title “You Can Get Anything You Want At Alyce’s Restaurant (Except a Yes or No Answer…). She is so frustrating to watch.
I’ve never wanted to punch someone I don’t personally know so much in my life. She’s beyond frustrating.
Saying..Alyce’s Restaurant comment, too funny. I’m a very patient person, but I am pulling out my hair at this woman…she’s no professional…she’s just awful..professional witnesses answer the questions posed. If they are SECURE in their conclusions….they can always elaborate on re direct. I’m appalled that LaViolette is allowed to behave this way on the stand, making snarky comments to the Prosecutor, continually calling him Mr Martinez, this is a court of law, not a freaking comedy show..and her fan club in the audience is repulsive. Plus all of the head shaking and mouthing words by Wilmott is just so out of line…I just have a really difficult time understanding why the Judge allows this circus atmosphere….and the DEFENSE WANTS A MISTRIAL…THIS is a train wreck…
I sooooo agree with you ZZ. She’s diminishing herself, her education, her field, etc. trying to argue with him. He’s pulled back and she’s charging ahead. She looks like a dumb ass. Gone is the grandmotherly lady. Instead, we have a sword wielding take charge bad ass from the 60’s. She looks stupid. Just answer the damn question, lady. If he would have responded with the same damn snarky comments, court would have been cancelled for the day and Nurmi would be asking for a mistrial this morning. As for this pic, this is what the citizens of Az are paying 1.4 million dollars for. I guarantee those two will bill their dinner & time to the tax payers of Az. Shameful.
Love it! I wanna change my handle to Sword-wielding Take-Charge Badass!
I’m sick of alice in wonderland alright already so you have a degree we know it just ans. the questions instead of going on and on but I quess at 300.00 an hour why not and why dosnt the judege say stop it and stop explaining other women this is jodie the liar when she told you she stuffed travis is the closet and not the shower dah!! didnt you get it please
You are disgustingly disrespectful. This woman is extremely intelligent and insightful. I have personally had many of the experiences she speaks of and can honestly say she is right on target about everything. You all act like a bunch of headhunters. Jodie killed Travis for a reason. It is obvious nothing was planned out. He was leading a double life and all his money and connections are not going to save his name from that. She shouldn’t have killed him but she did and we need to understand why so people who find themselves victims of men like him can get help before it’s too late.
Ma’am, Jodi planned in finite detail the murder of Travis. Unless your head has been firmly up your ass for the entire trial or you are a relative then you would know that. Alyce Lavilolette opened the door to critisism by LYING for IT. A double life is a man who dresses up like a clown and masturbates while wearing womens under clothes. He was a normal, happy, healthy, sexual HUMAN FUCKING BEING. You madam are a pig and should bury your head in the sand. He NEVER ABUSED JODI, she was the aggressor in EVERY aspect of thier “relationship” (note the sarcasm) They weren’t together, she had her twat hung up on him for 18 months after she dumped him. Get over it, she is a cold blooded bitch and she is going to prison forever, at a minimum. If you were abused, then you know that she was NOT.
Your foul mouth is only exceeded by your lack of brain cells. If you had any background in psychology you would be able to understand the intricacies and dynamics of their relationship better. Take off the rose-colored glasses and look at the facts. Jodi is too smart to bungle a pre-meditated murder. And this was bungled from beginning to end because what ultimately happened was unplanned.
I have noticed that most of the commentators on this blog seem to be anything but critical thinkers. Maybe if you had more life experience you would be able to see further than the end of your nose. At age 64 and many cumulative hours of post-grad work in the psychology field it is relatively easy to spot someone who is an expert in the field. This woman has nailed it on the head. Alyce Laviolette has done a terrific job and the infinitesimal mistakes she has made is nothing more than human error–of which I am sure you have been guilty of once or twice! And I’m sorry but she is the dignified one of the two. Martinez is nothing more than a little Napoleon bully who desperately wants to boost his low self-esteem by sending someone to death row–even though she was also a victim in this situation. What a tragedy that would be.
It is obvious you don’t want to face the facts that Travis caused a lot of his own problems by not being able to keep his peter in his pants. He used his pseudo status to gain power over this woman by denigrating, deriding and dismissing her on a continual basis. She was guilty of nothing more than accommodating him in order to gain his affection. His murder was anything but “planned.” They have pretty much established this fact. It is obvious it was a crime of passion committed by a woman who had been pushed beyond the end of her rope. The reason it was so difficult for Travis’s friends to relate to her was because she thought on a higher plane than they did. She is extremely intelligent, articulate, and talented. Being around his friends was most likely terminally boring to her and it was difficult for her not to show it.
It is quite obvious you are a either one of Travis’s phony friends or a member of his family. Everyone of his friends they have interviewed on TV have come across as phony and/or superficial. As the saying goes, “birds of a feather flock together.”
I, on the other hand, don’t know Jodi from Adam. I am merely a person who looks at the facts and goes with my gut. I am not swayed by public opinion nor am I a cow, sheep or pig just following the herd as most are doing because of their inability to think objectively.
Is this the part of the dance where we all don our robes and hoods? I’ll have to pull mine out of moth balls but they certainly have not been stored as long as yours. I love a good game of “I have more advanced degrees than you do”…This seems to be the game you really want to play here. Am I right?
Lol Miss TT. This case has brought many people to professing their education, without taking into account that other posters may also be educated.
If you would like to don your robe, go ahead. I like to stick with facts. If my advanced degrees have taught me to do that, then so be it……..you should not be threatened by that. They are out there for anyone to obtain.
Shut up Alyce.
First you say that you don’t know Jodi from Adam, and then you say, “she is extremely intelligent, articulate, and talented. Being around his friends was most likely terminally boring to her and it was difficult for her not to show it…” I’m sorry, but did you know her personally? Were you involved in their personal relationship? You seem disproportionately angry about defending this woman, and it seems like it’s pushing some personal buttons of your own. But just because you have survived a situation of real domestic violence, doesn’t mean every other woman who claims it is sincere, or ever alleged abuser is as awful as they are accused of being. especially when that person is unable to defend himself in court. I don’t know either of them, so I can’t say what they are like as people.
Let’s go by actions and what we know, since you are accusing us of not being critical thinkers. We know that Travis was insulting, rude, called her names and he and Jodi had an intense and vigorous sexual relationship. But we also know that Jodi Arias enjoyed this sexual relationship, lies consistently, tries to act her way out of situations, manipulated evidence (and people), threatened violence, and, ultimately, murdered someone. Let’s critically think about who’s the victim here, shall we?
I’m disappointed to see this site is nothing more than one big mutual admiration society with only one opinion and a multitude of potty mouths who are not interested in the truth but only in pushing their beliefs onto everyone else. I was hoping this was a place a person could go to see a variety of opinions. It is sad to see that no one uses their education (if they even have one)–doubtful), to express themselves properly. It is also sad to see the level the younger generation has stooped to. I will not be visiting this site again as no one seems to be able to think outside their box. I am terminally bored already. Have fun scratching each other’s backs.
Sincere question @Cassandra since I know you will come back. Do you make your own Kool Aid or do you buy it?
JM ” Ma’am, would you agree that Yes and No are exact opposites, yes or no? ”
ALV ” Mr. Martinez, I am an abuse expert, not a language expert”.
JM ” Well, would you agree that yes and no are a form of a positive and a negative?
ALV ” If you say so”.
JM ” No, I want you to tell me”.
ALV ” Mr. Martinez, yes is a form of a word that within a certain context can mean anything”.
JM ” Ma’am, can we agree that yes is a positive?”
ALV “A nod up and down is a form of that word, Mr. Martinez”
JM ” Can you even say the word ‘yes’?”
ALV ” Ok”.
JM ” No I want you to say the word , ‘yes’.”
ALV “Sure”
JM ” Ma’am, look at my mouth and say the same word, “yes”.
ALV ” I need my glasses”.
Bolded so no one misses it. BRAVA! It’s like we are back in the courtroom!
I can’t remember the last time I wished for a ‘like’ button on a comment so much!
Thanks Liz!
LOL Nancy if I didn’t know better I would swear I was reading the actual transcript from Friday. Absolute perfection worthy of an award. Thank you!!!
Thanks! I’ll do some more “transcripts” after tomorrows court antics.
“……so after Team Nurmi makes his mistrial motion and Alyce takes a few pee breaks we should be going by 10:30 or so their time.”
Don’t forget, she’ll have to be excused from the stand at least once to go find her eyeglasses.
kh
Dr. Drew is going to have a lip reading expert on tonight to tell us everything that Jodi was saying in court yesterday.
I was on another Arias blog and one poster claimed that when Martinez was asking Lavoilette about the fight and who started it, the camera was on Jodi and she mouthed the words to Wilmott: “I hate that motherf**er” and that the camera was on her when she said it.
Anyone else see this?
I have to work today. Hope to catch up with all the court happenings this afternoon.
I thought that I saw it but questioned my own eyes. I couldn’t believe she would do that in court. I guess someone else saw it too.
I didn’t see it either Memyself, but I’m sure he feels the same way. If he doesn’t, I have enough hate for that filthy, disgusting bitch that it’s enough to go around. Besides, I wouldn’t be surprised if she did say it, I’d hate someone if he was onto my lying, disgusting, psychotic, manipulative, whorish, murdering ass as well. Bitch has no sympathy for snuffing someone out in the prime of his life, but she hates someone for trying to get justice. Screw that psychotic whore.
I understand your passion, but your language is just plain frightening.
Of course she hate Juan she going to hate the defense in the end
That’s hilarious, MeMyself…didn’t see that but “saw”her say “sustained “when Wilmott objected ( one of a gazillion times), and before the Judge made the call!! I will try to watch Dr Drews show to listen to the lip reader, as well…hope Mark Eiglarsh is on, too…love that guy!
I loved it when he insisted “biased” WAS the “right word”. And the other day when he asked if whether or not the prosecutor’s being angry would affect her testimony. A person who is cunning in arguing semantics can win even when that person is wrong, and while I think she’s a decent match for JM, it gives me so much satisfaction that he hasn’t gotten tripped up on any of her bullshit.
He’s also great at taking a witness’s bs and taking it in a whole nother different but damning direction. I just really like this dude.
Oh and I thought Alice’s Restaurant was very obscure. Did Rodney Alcala make it known? I mean that’s the only way I know of it.
Acala? He had nothing to do with Alices Restaurant.
Alices’s Restaurant was originally in Stockbridge Mass. area. The owner Alice Brock was friends with Arlo Guthrie who wrote a song about it.
“Alice’s Restaurant” is a hippie-era classic long song by Arlo Guthrie that is now traditionally played on Thanksgiving. It’s awesome!
One of the most telling moments of the trial yesterday was when ALV said to JM, “If you were in one of my groups, I would put you in time out”. REALLY??? Does she put adult men in time out? How ludicrous! I don’t care if they are abusers, you don’t use time outs for adults. I bet ALV has used time outs more than I have and I’m a retired kindergarten teacher.
She is revealing her man-hater self and the fact the she does not accept the emotion of assertion. Mr. Martinez iis assertive with her and this is a behavior she claims to teach people. Yet when she meets a person with a healthy self esteem who is not hesitant to set boundaries and limits with her and is not intimidated by her, she tries to over power him and shame him. Yet she claims that jealousy is an acceptable emotion and the behavior is what determines whether or not it is acceptable or not. She is a hypocrite. I only hope the jury is taking note.
YAY! Welcome to TT, Sandy! I was starting to wonder if there was something wrong with me (well something ELSE wrong with me) because I don’t see Juan as any more aggressive than any other lawyer dealing with a hostile witness. Sometimes people talk about him “shouting” and I am asking myself “THAT was shouting?” I think it has to do with the size of the family you were raised in…
i stumbled on a blog that had jodi as a waitress and JM trying to order a burger. It was hilarias. Im trying to refind it to share. If ya’ll have seen it help me relocate it. Goes good with the alyces resturaunt theme
Morning(ish) trial watchers! Glad you like the post today. The Alyce’s restaurant reference came from the lovely source that sent the picture. I just added the YES OR NO! part! I’m lucky to have people who send me things on pretty much anything I write about! (And then I take all the credit! ) Hope everyone has a great day, now let’s get this trial started!
ALV is fond of refering to movies. I would luv for JM to refer to Primal Fear with Ed Norton and Richard Gere. I found a great web site, kristinarandle.com…..check it out, it’s very interesting.
@Eve When someone is convicted and given a chance to make a statement in court, whatever you call that, Rodney Alcala played that song. Pretty sure there is footage online of that day in court, cuz I remember seeing it on youtube.
i am aware of that, but i wouldnt want to associate that animal with a song , a restaurant and a place where i lived for many years.
🙂
Less than 2 minutes of testimony, two side bars, and the jury is sent back out so that Juan can argue with the judge about Alyce’s lack of answering the questions. Not only is the jury sent out for three minutes but so are the CAMERAS I’m off to read tweets and report back.
if ja wrote she was fearful of Travis that would be on giant tv highlighted in red. Since TRavis wrote he was fearful it does not mean a thing?
I wonder if the picture above is going to be discussed as the defense prepping the witness for the stand. I am not sure if they are allowed to do that or now.
I wonder also. Yesterday he cut off the power of ALV’s testimony because she did not know the previous testimony of sworn witnesses. Is it legal for JW to tell her those things or would that violate the judge’s order to witnesses to stay away from the trial? Doesn’t matter much because JM doesn’t backpeddle. He’ll be on to something new today. He’ll be coming from their blind side… which is every side the defense has!
since she is an exert are the rules different on what they can do outside of court? You said the state most likely paid the tab for dinner can they bill for those hours too?
When JM is questioning a witness after the judge has ruled at a sidebar, if JW is looking down and writing, she is not happy. And, what’s with KN? Can he get farther from Jodi and still be sitting at the defense’s table?
I am so tired of this biased witness, but I can’t wait to hear the jury questions for ALV. I must have a sickness, wanting to watch a woman destroy her career by answering questions as biased and disrespectful as she can. Have a great day everyone!
I’m sick of her too. He’s making good progress today though! He’s shoving that chart up her ass. He’s talking about her stalking her, looking into his windows, him being afraid of her. And, she is like a not knowing which way to go, but has to admit certain things…… I love it! Now, he’s onto the journals. Go Juan go…..
‘shoving that chart up her ass’? God. I’ve read enough.
Just a few minutes of this atrocity of false testimony and I’m about to blow a blood vessel. The eye rolls and Wilma’s sour puss aren’t lost on the jury. I’m thoroughly disgusted that the Judge isn’t getting this crap under control, unless letting the jury see the evasive crap and Alyce’s snark is a good window into Jodi’s dark soul with false DV.
Nurmi has not wanted this case for quite some time. He’s stuck with it. As for what the defense can talk to the expert about (and I am no expert, and will defer to those here who are…) MY legal expertise that I have from watching too many trials on tv 🙂 , leads me to believe that they CANNOT discuss other witness testimony with the expert but that they can prep her extensively for cross. They cannot tell her what to say, but they can say “if you don’t feel like you can give a yes or no answer then say that.” or “he’s going to come at you, don’t let him get to you.” or “You can use your notes that say Jodi is the victim as much as you want… ” or whatever. In reality no one except those present know what was discussed at dinner.
Interesting. If Nurmi didn’t want this case, he should find another line of work, IMO. In every profession one dedicates himself/herself to, there will always be clients and projects that are not ideal. You take them and you give your all, your “A” game. Again, my opinion. I have a PITA client but I do remain grateful that he does come to me for work. He’s a challenge, a pip, but at the end of the day, I have work and he helps me pay my bills.
but shouldn’t they be talking in Jennifer wilnots office/ not out in public
Jodi’s demeanor is way different from yesterday. Yesterday we got some sort of simmering angry spice. Today, we have smug Jodi back who is smiling shall we say flirtatiously with Alyce.
She was smiling at all the talk of fear. Travis feared her, being afraid of her, etc. See, she likes being the aggressor. She’s smug that she was the predator and he her prey. Disgusting bitch. Now, we just learned she told AL that she and Travis was in the closet when he was shot. Truth is a foreign language to her.
BTW They just read the email where Travis said she was a sociopath and the worst thing to ever happen to him – she’s not smiling now.
I updated with a picture of Jodi’s smug face. I will add in more pictures to the original post as I see interesting ones..
susan her answer would have to be the 35 years of man hating bias. As a man i gotta say that alyce and her friend both would make a strapon go limp
Martinez never asked the judge to treat ANYONE as a hostile witness. Most judges would not allow his style of questioning in their courtrooms unless they were given permission and for a specific line of questions.
This trial is a joke, a huge waste of taxpayers money and seems like there is no end in sight.
I agree this expert Laviolette is not being effective as in she should of said, yes, Jodi has lied at times , but i believe there was domestic violence.
What i really find upsetting is the comments about her looks, her clothes and possible sexual orientation.
It clearly shows how immature and hateful our country still seems to be.
Of course i realize my opinion isnt going to be popular (not that i care) but i felt it had to be said.
And…..any good lawyer could of questioned Laviolette effectively and been done in one day.
Eve, I also don’t like to comment on one’s looks or possible sexual orientation (that never meant a hill of beans to me anyway). Ms. LaViolette did sign on to be an expert witness for this case, when six others before her flatly declined. I would imagine that Ms. LV knows what she has signed on for.
That said, witnesses often tend to forget that even though they may be for the prosecution or for the defense — their testimony is for the jury. Would one (or she in this case) not want to be as forthright in answering JM’s questions for the sake of jury understanding and clarity? Isn’t a witness’ ultimate responsibility for the jury? I may be wrong, but I do know that if I was ever called as a witness, I would keep that jury ultimate in my mind to ensure they have as much clarity from my testimony as I can give them.
I totally agree Dlister. I am really saddened and bewildered why someone who has helped so many and has years of experience would not be totally forthright. Mostly because i believe she has been one of the few experts of her field who has truly made a difference in helping abuse victims. (not talking about court appearances)
No one made a comment about how Martinez tried to discount her credentials and experience. its below the belt and totally unprofessional.
No, it’s common practice to discount your opposing expert’s credentials and experience when they LIE on their CV.
And don’t think that if LaVIolette had a criminal record of any sort, that wouldn’t have been raised as well. Professional and competent attorneys find out everything there is to know about experts hired by the opposing parties. It’s the incompetent and unprofessional ones who don’t.
Yeah, just like Jennifer Wimott did, right?? One day and done, huh?
There is nothing wrong with her credentials. Its another thing to discount or question if there is something wrong with them.
And……do you really think anyone would hire an expert with a criminal record?
Yes, I have seen it happen. (They were fired shortly after it came out during their deposition.)
Don’t worry about your opinion being popular, Eve. I hope that everyone feels comfortable stating their opinions here. I am interested in all possible interpretations of what we are seeing here. It gives a lot of insight to what the jury is thinking. We all like to think that the jury is seeing things the same way we are and we have been shown time and time again that is not the case.
So please keep sharing! 🙂
Thank you Tamara.
As i said, i dont care what anyone thinks of my opinions, its more of enjoying your site and not wanting to leave, lol.
I hope there is a level headed jury or at least a few people who arent thinking this trial is a WWE fight. That seems to be the mentality of so many.
I guess i am scared because our country seems to be getting dumber and dumber.
finally after all these days the judge says just answer his question and jw can follow up to elaborate. Should have happened 1st day of cross
God bless whoever snapped that pic! Ha!
Eve we all have opinions that not everybody may like but this is america and feel free to express yours. If nothing else it helps to keep the debate going and by doing that we get to see other sides of the conversation
I missed why we are at break is this a regular break? Does Alyce have to pee again? Whut I miss?
Yes she did…after about 30 minutes of testimony! What does that tell you, besides she has a weak bladder? And, if I may remind you younger women, something does indeed change with your bladder control after you become a ‘woman of a certain age’.
I am 36 and 3 kids later, my bladder is shot to hell. I have wondered if alyce had a spastic bowel or something… She gets nervous and she has an upset stomach…
could very well be a situation like that…got to be a whole lot of stress being on stand with Juan at you…
yes it does! you younger gals don’t have to deal with this yet – and if you’re of a certain age and had kids – bladder is indeed shot to hell!!
She either has to pee, get her phone or turn off her phone or puke. Such a professional lady.
Alyce may have IBS – if so, when you gotta go, you gotta go. Stress can trigger it. Could you imagine being on that stand – JM must’ve scared the shit out of her.
I joke about Alyce and her potty breaks… but I am that girl that can’t make it through a movie in the theatre without having to pee and always have to pic a time to go where I won’t miss anything. I am also the fastest pee-er EVER. Ask anyone. It’s my hidden talent. 🙂
bathroom break? Guess the depends fill quick when loading them with bricks. Thought she was getting taller
Bwaaaahahaha, Steve!! You said it!!
This kind of degrading talk should be obliterated.
Okay, now I’m laughing. Cassandra are you really that much of a tightass?
I’m guessing that Nurmi helped Jodi with her BS about the pedophilia tactic. Then when Travis’ computer drive was inspected, they found nothing. Therefore they had to update the testimony.
I’m thinking Jodi did all that updating on pedophilia computer vs. hard copy picture on her own…guess Jodi “misspoke” as Alyce would say
On the issue of “porking a little girl” that Alyce grossly yelled out, I’m gobsmacked. And no objections from Wilma and Jodi. And she refers to the illegal audiotaping that Jodi made while she was jazzing Travis up on the phone. Well, let’s be frank. When a woman plays sexy games on the phone, she controls the conversation and takes it wherever she pleases. I’m nauseated by this crap. Alyce must be trying for a bonus paycheck for torturing Travis’ family.
I’m not watching, the recaps are WAY better. Did she refer to Jodi as a little girl that Travis was porking??!! This is the same lady that said she was uncomfortable talking about sex and that’s what she blurts out?
Yes. She said, “porking a little girl”. She was trying to make Travis’ “pedophilia” aimed at little boys AND little girls, via Jodi’s phone tape. If I recall, yesterday Alyce thought it was Travis who taped the phone convo instead of Jodi.
I’ll never be able to hear the word “pork” without giggling. Damn you, Alyce. And, Tamara, your “Objection….fairytale” will become a classic.
I thought it was funny how she neglected to remember that Jodi loved being the little girl, complete with moans. These fantasies were most likely ones they’d used before, ones that Jodi liked and condoned or even created.
Regarding your comment about the “illegal audiotaping that Jodi made while she was jazzing Travis up on the phone”. The lawyers on HLN said that in Arizona, both parties must be aware they are being recorded, BUT, in California it is only required that ONE person be aware. Because Jodi was in California when she recorded the sex tape, it is considered legal, and so was allowed into evidence for the trial.
notice how Alyce never uses certain words, such as, “I was wrong” or “I didn’t know about that incident” – she will say I “Misspoke” or “I was not given that information” – misspoke? certainly tries to soften her previous testimony when caught in contradictions to make it appear less than important…
You people have me kegeling for my life to avoid future overactive bladder issues.
kegel girl! kegel! I used to think that was a load of crap when I was younger..now I maybe wished I had done those “exercises”…..
Did anyone hear what happened (if anything) when ALV spoke to Travis sister after court was done the other day. I understand that’s a big no-no, but can’t find anything about what happened other then JM was on it?
Whatever was done about it was done Monday in chambers. I guess we won’t know until after the trial. Like you, I understand that this is a big deal in Arizona. They have very up to date victim rights laws there.
question i hope jury asks… If the roles were reversed and Travis did jodis actions and jodi made his would you be defending Travis?
Good one Steve. I’d like to hear the answer to that one.
I like how Martinez snuck in that Cameron Diaz wore little boy underwear in the movie. Though, what a memory!
A little off topic though, David Otunga and his fine self on HLN. New York must be slapping herself every day.
I just got home from work and trying to catch up. I see Alyce is up to her usual bullshit…
Hey, how many times did she have to get off the stand to get her glasses today?
Don’t know how many times she retrieved her glasses Memyself, but her phone went off.
WHAAAAAAAAAT? Her phone actually went off in the courtroom when she was on the stand? Wow! Add that to the list of unprofessional things that Laviolette has done. I knew I should have played hookey from work today! 🙂
It was hilarious when her phone went off. The entire courtroom went silent, and everyone was looking around like “it’s not mine, is it yours?” It took about 30 seconds of the ring tone playing, before poor old Alyce said “My phone needs to be turned off”, to someone over behind the defense table. The whole thing was priceless!
Go back to your business folks, Juan is done and Wilmont is up again…
It seems as if Wilmont is moving fairly fast. So, we could get to the jury questions today. Keep your fingers crossed.
All Juan had to do is play that recording with yet another different story told to Laviolette, follow it up with say…..10 more instances where Jodi has lied and then ask her if there was a chance Jodi lied to her too. Clean, quick and he would of made the only point he had to.
Instead he spends days arguing and creating yet another cluster-f___
Wow I didn’t know the witness was allowed to be socializing with the prosecution during the proceedings. Really sick of this witness though. Evidently she’s a man hater anyway. Lets get on with it.
Did you see the clip of her hugging Nurmi last week? I know they are on the same team but I don;t think it’s very professional of them to be hugging like that.
Does anyone else find Wilmonts voice annoying? She sounds like she inhales helium frequently. Perhaps it’s just that the entire defense and their “so called experts” have infuriated me to a point of complete intolerance.
I find her demeanor annoying….
Sorry, I’m having some computer issues today… Did Willmott get finished with redirect today?
Did the Judge admonish Jodi and Lavoilette for their behavior/gestures yesterday or something? I am watching Lav up there being questioned by Wilmott and she is stone face serious, not happily giggling and bantering with her answers like she usually does when answering Wilmott. When the camera is on Jodi, she is stone face serious. Also, Wilmott is no longer lip to lip with her and whispering and smililng together.
Another recess? Didnt they just have one like fifteen minutes ago? Perhaps if Laviolette would wear some Depends while testifying, we could avoid these breaks.
I am almost as sick of hearing the HLN hosts sat “you won’t miss a thing”as I am of Alyce. Just in case anyone has been in a coma for the past 30 years and doesnt understand the concept of pause, I think it’s safe to say that after hearing “so you won’t miss a thing” every time they hit pause ,which is like a gazillion times, I think they get it. It’s driving me mad. Thank God I tape the trial every day and watch it later, fast forwarding through all of the bs. Anyone watching it live, I don’t know how you.do it!
I am so glad you mentioned that! And what about the comment by Jane Velez Mitchell and others saying “when we return on the other side”! It makes me just as crazy. They are reporters and should have more of a vocabulary. I used to enjoy HLN but it is all commercials now. Galanos now refers to having to pay the bills so someone must have said something about that.
Thank you guys for calling attention to those insipid catch and release phrases.how about a fresh approach?like,”you won’t miss a moment of testimony.just hours of your life to commercial hell”.
LOL, Mitch! That was great. Yeah, HLN will be sure that you don’t miss a minute of the trial but in between the minutes they will air about five minutes of commercials. Or one of their hacks will ‘splain to you what you just heard and understood very well.
You can watch the court proceedings in realtime. I watch every day no commercials. Nothing bleeped out. Just google live stream Jodi Arias Trial. Hope this helps.
Does anyone notice Jody’s self important expression as she writes notes in a maniciacal frenzy to Give to Wilmont? She can’t
hide her expression of how important she thinks her note taking is.
As if her words are still important.
Jodi arias will go free at the end of all this, or at worst have a hung jury.
What have you been watching? How on earth can you justify that? You must be a friend or relative of JA. Or are you getting paid too?
I sure hope and pray she does not go free my fear is she could kill again.
I missed most of prosecutions case,can anyone tell me if they searched the rental car and if so was blood found in car and trunk?if not that would prove her to be liar as well as did they check Travis bank acct.at time she supposedly leant him money.If he had a healthy balance he would not borrow money from a part time waitress!Travis was afraid of Jodi but afraid of pissing her off too much because he knew she would tell church about their sex!Poor guy!She really is evil to the bone!
I am so glad that Juan just caught this wench in an out and out lie. I know that she would have remembered how many times she had testified in court on behalf of a man and upon questioning she did in fact remember that it was ZERO, even though her initial answer was ONE or TWO. Then she started going back and forth with Juan saying “I don’t know what your question is”. Come on…..She knows what his question is and what all his previous questions have been. She is just using her stalling/misunderstanding technique to benefit the defendent.
If I were a juror, I would place little or no weight on her testimony at this point.
Thank you, Juan!
Dearest Cassandra (I mean, Faye) wants us all to know that we are “one big mutual admiration society with only one opinion and a multitude of potty mouths who are not interested in the truth[.]” That’s a typical blow back from the weak, who faced with opposition to their views or opinions, throw out an insult to those who disagree and then huff out the door. But I’ll cop to the potty mouth because I’m not the frigid prude that apparently Cassandra is.
She claims that “no one uses their education (if they even have one)–doubtful), to express themselves properly.” Sadly, her education has apparently just convinced herself that she is better than anyone else. The worst kind of educated, in my book.
She also appears to presume that most of the commenters of younger, lamenting how “sad [it is] to see the level the younger generation has stooped to.” Lady, just because you’re “old” doesn’t mean that the rest of us are young chickens without a brain. I’m sure the viewpoints expressed here are representative of pretty much all economic, social, ethnic, gender, and educational backgrounds. We are the fortunate ones, not you.
She sashays out the door with the Faye-like expression that she “will not be visiting this site again as no one seems to be able to think outside their box. I am terminally bored already.” Got only one response to that: Don’t let the “X” button on your computer screen hit your ass on the way out. Night, night, Alyce.
“of younger” should be “are younger”
ok – here is my 2 cents worth. I approached this with an open mind, and part of me felt sorry for Jodi, as she could’ve been my sister, daughter, granddaughter …. however, IMO I don’t believe that just after 18 mos of an on/off, long distance and mainly physical relationship at that, didn’t make her to be the manipulator that she is, in such a short period of time. She has honed those skill for years, and appears to be a big part of her character. Jodi is still trying to manipulate things (via her tweets, msg in magazines etc. Though not illegal, it’s consistent for her. Leopards don’t change their spots. She blames everyone and everything….her mom, her dad, Travis, religion, ex-boyfriends.
Perhaps she did not “plan” to stab Travis all 27 times, but I believe she did have a plan to shoot him. If you watch the interrogation tape where she came up with the ninja story, she said “they said “finish the job””. When the gun jammed or was out of bullets, she grabbed the knife or vice versa. She planned kill him since she stole her grandparents gun. It may not have gone as planned, in detail, but I believe she planned none-the-less.
She said she did not plan on visiting Travis on her way to Utah. Do you believe that….really? Several calls were made to him when she was “on the road” & he returned them.She stopped by the salon in CA to get a mani/pedi and (I’d bet money that she also got a bikin wax – cause that was Travis’ preference. Don’t most salons have a log/register to sign when you walk in – Name: Appointment?: y/n time: Service: Mani/Pedi/ Wax ? (Every nail salons I’ve ever went to used them.) Not that proves premeditation – anymore than having 3 gas cans. Wonder if they could find that register/log, and see: June 3, 2008- Jodi – appt. no – mani/pedi/wax.
Choose your behavior, choose your consequences. I am not a Travis relative, or friend , nor a Jodi hater., but there are just too many coincidences for me to buy the domestic abuse, self-defense theroy…Just sayin.
Could you please explain what a Mitigation Specialist does in general, so I know and understand. Thank you.
I hope Jodi gets a much lower sentence. How do you know what Travis was really like behind closed doors? I believe Jodi was abused by him. Don’t be too quick to judge Jodi, because you don’t know all the answers. I am a woman myself and I think the women hate Jodi because they are jealous of her. Shame on you!
