Jodi Arias Trial 12/18

December 18, 2014 by tamaratattles 22 Comments

Geffner has a very inappropriate affect for someone testifying about murder and violence.
Geffner has a very inappropriate affect for someone testifying about murder and violence.

We started nearly half an hour late because Jodi was late for some reason. Or something. Willmott is really worried about all of the potential for impeaching this ridiculous witness so she brings up a few more of his past issues in previous cases that will make him look bad so he can talk without Juan freaking him out and making him spill his water. You know like the last time we did this.

Then we moved on to reading Jodi’s journals again. Jodi loves Travis but he says such terrible things to her. She knows she should leave him but she can’t. She self blames. We get numerous snippets of stories of arguments meant to show that Travis was an asshole. Or a twenty something guy as they are called in more civilized circles.

Jodi liked to practice The Law of Attraction a philosophy that she erroneous thinks means never speak of or write down bad things and pretend like life is wonderful until it is. Or until the level of  denial and stuffing shit down causes you to go batshit and stab someone 27 times and try to decapitate them and then shoot them in the head.  This includes her thinking that Travis thinks she would say yes if he proposed. She says she would need a significantly larger amount of courting and bible study.

Jodi journals that she has a headache. Geffner says the headache was caused by the horrific stress that Travis placed upon her. I’m not making this shit up. It looks like we are just going to read this entire journal today so the defense can stretch things out until the holiday break.

jodifingerTravis’s grandmother was very ill. Jodi would drop him off to go stay with her but he would not let her meet him. She was making her a Christmas present because she was so distraught she was ill. She would sneak in late at night to cuddle with him at Grandma’s house.  Jodi wanted cuddling. Travis wanted sex.

12/04/07: “I don’t know where it comes from! I must be sick, I just want to die .. how easily I’m swayed 2darkness.~JodiArias  Geffner says that Jodi’s ex-boyfriend Matt kept telling her to seek mental help.

12/08/07  Jodi is severely depressed and contemplating suicide. Meanwhile, Travis is in a bad mood because his tires have been slashed  twice in two days. Jodi helped pay for new tires and offered Travis her stun gun because he was trying to stake out the car to find the mad slasher. I think this is news about the stun gun. Also, Juan has a witness that will testify Travis told her Jodi was the slasher. Duh.

By January, Jodi was back in a good place with Travis. They exchanged “I love you” texts on NYE and that was apparently good enough for her. There was a disagreement between the lawyers over some money that Jodi deposited into their joint account. Thoughts of marriage reconsidered at least in Jodi’s mind.

Then we approach the great kiddie porn incident of 2008.  Despite her journal entry two days later saying “there was nothing interesting to report.” This is when Travis allegedly broke her finger. She did not seek medical attention. Willmott says this was not in the journal because of her whole “Law of Attraction” thing.  Geffner says another time in this time period (we are still in January of 2008) Travis body slammed her.

In February, it is Travis’s turn to be suicidal, according to Jodi. He is depressed and sorry he called Jodi a “fucking loser.”

*LUNCH*  (sort of)

Jodi Juan so over it.

The jury leaves and Juan gets to question Geffner outside of the presence of the jury about diagnosing someone he has never met through text messages and journals written my a mentally ill murderer.

February of 08  I guess is where we are now. It’s  Tootsie Pop Sexy Time!  Jodi wrote that was closure for her and that Travis has a new sidepiece named Mimi and she (Mimi) doesn’t need to know about their 8 months of sexually deviant encounters. Jodi claims Travis backhanded her for moving back to Yreka.(In March?) There was a trip to Vegas for Jodi (not Travis) in there somewhere. The tweeters are worn out and not tweeting as much. The problem with the backhanding story that in her journal she describes that encounter with no violence and “three gentle kisses.” Also she was staying in the house while he was dating Mimi and she was just fine with Mimi? Really? That is the witness who will testify that Jodi slashed Travis’ tires when they were dating.

Lots of bickering between the two of them in March. Travis says Jodi is constantly stressing him every day. Jodi says he hangs up on her all the time and needs to stop that. Basically, Jodi is obsessed with Travis 24/7 and he just wants to fuck her when he feels like it.

Geffner says the fifth incidence of abuse was April 1, 2008 when he body slammed her and choked her out. She was supposed to have left for Yreka I think but stayed a few extra days at Travis’ house. Geffner says when abuse victims finally make the break the violence escalates.

Jodi finally goes to Yreka and the fighting continues to escalate. And then they go back to sexting. Lather. Wretch. Repeat. March 10, 2008 the Sex Tape. Ugh.

A return to some google chats where Travis is angry with Jodi for going through his Facebook page (with his password) he says he feels like she “stabbed him in the back!” Did he really say that? He accused her of deleting a letter he had written to Lisa. Three hole wonder comment. Stuff we’ve heard a million times. Geffner is all “see how abusive Travis was?”

We end at the part where Jodi wrote that Travis was very lonely and really wanted her to come visit him while she is in Utah visiting Ryan. Jodi just said no. Shouldn’t that right there be enough to let anyone know the entire journal is delusional?

Thankfully, I can now spend the next two week making fun of Nene’s wigs and stuff because this crap is on hiatus until January 5, 2015.

    it seems to me 97% of what the defense is using makes jodi look like the bad guy she is. maybe the whole strategy will be that jodi is so delusional she couldnt help but kill him. thats how crazy she is please dont kill her back. wow. when will will her secret testimony be public? thanks for doing this, it must be frustrating to sift through all the BS presented. the dr gets 3 weeks to prep fir Juans questions in front of the jury then?

      ​The tweeters were all like “the defense is dragging this out so that Juan can’t come back at him before the break” and I was thinking now Juan has two weeks to poke holes in everything he said.

      This giggling goober is no match for Juan. I would have done his testimony in a day MAX if I were the defense let Juan crucify him. Redirect, and then try to pull a GOOD mitigation witness out of my ass. Like the mother (who may be one not willing to testify publicly for her own child.)

      Anthony Bourdain is on my TV. That is all I need to unwind. And this box of wind. Anthony Bourdain and this box of wine that is all I need. And my big old hound dog Banjo. Anthony Bourdain, this box of wine, my big ole hound dog, Banjo and a blue Tiffany Box that I shake occasionally. That is all I need.

    Do you know who else practiced the Laws of Attraction (at least for awhile)? Elliot Rodger. Coincidences can be eerie. I read the link you provided to his manifesto.

      I kind of want to believe in the Law of Attraction…

      (let’s talk about me some more 🙂

      When I used to socialize I like to play pool. I was not great, but I could get a ball in sometimes. I was much better after two beers. Then I could see the ball going in the hole before I made my shot. It worked.

      I guess my point is ​1. being slightly but not a lot drunk helps. B. Visualizing what you expect to happen positively helps.

      4. Delusional thinking is not the same thing as the Law of Attraction.

        Maybe it does work! You visualize crazed horrific retribution against whose whom have “wronged” you (as in premeditated murder) and you are able to do things you never believed you could. And in return, you receive justice and/or death. I thought I would through some karma in there!

      ​Thanks Capt’n. No one is holding my feet to the fire. These posts don’t even make a blip in my view radar. I am just riding it out to the end. I can’t stop reporting it.

      Today I felt like my holiday Vacay started!

      Yes, those of us who go by the rules of society can enjoy our holidays with family and friends. Good food, festivities, opening presents in our pajamas on Christmas morning, luxuriating with coffee and Christmas breakfast goodies. And maybe some special gifts for and from our loved ones. Jodi – NOT SO MUCH!

    Oh, I was going to give my thoughts on Jodi, but got carried away with my Christmas wishes….
    I was going to say, I feel like Jodi truly thought that Travis was going to ask her to marry him for Christmas. When that didn’t happen, she built up a rage over it, then he started to see another woman a few months later, because she was acting all psycho over the non proposal at Xmas, and she snapped (because she’s psycho) and now has having one of the longest trials ever, because Arizona..
