I’m confused. I thought there was a hearing today on something. I had commitments to keep in THE WORLD today (ugh) and was unable to keep up with things and sorting things out is problematic. To make matters worse Obama was in Pheonix today and there were protests and such so my “Jodi” list is full of reports on that. So I am going to just hit the highlights of the day.
In the main ring, we had testimony in front of the jury today. That’s right. The defense called a witness they somehow feel will provide mitigating testimony and the jury listened to the witness. That is almost like a normal trial. Except it wasn’t. The dude was the guy who didn’t want to testify using his real name. So they called him John Smith. Some tweeters speculated that the Amish style beard he was sporting was a fake. So it’s possible he used a fake name and wore a disguise. Because, Arizona. John Smith testified that porn sites had been accessed by the laptop and viruses were also present. He claims there were two different copies of the hard drive one in 2008 and one made in 2009. Apparently, the defense was only given the 2009 one That one had been modified in some way.
Blah, blah, blah. Computer stuff. We get it. Travis looked at porn. 
Juan’s first question on cross, “Dude, what’s your name?” Nurmi objects. Because, Arizona. Sidebar.
During the sidebar, over in ring three, the Arizona Supreme Court ordered that the secret transcripts of Jodi’s secret testimony be released to the public. I’m not sure how they all found out at that precise moment, but all hell broke loose. A recess was called. The witness left with Nurmi. And Jodi freaked out on Willmott. She REALLY thought she was going to get to have secret testimony. We should have the transcripts today or tomorrow. YAY!
Back in the center ring, everyone gets their panties unwadded and John Smith is back on the stand. He tells Juan his name is John Smith. Well that was anticlimactic. But things get very heated, very fast. Juan pointed out that the Mesa PD guy had to show Smith how to access the drive because he couldn’t do it. Nurmi blows a gasket and loud bantering between attorneys ensued. Martinez goes hard on the witness who seems to be a meek, polite sort of fellow. Calls him incompetent. Rapid fire questions. Does his YES OR NO? speil. Poor guy is probably pissing himself. Juan gets him to admit he was asked to testify for the first time after Christmas week.
Nurmi does a little re-direct and it is time to go home. So Smith is told to return on Wednesday. Apparently, there will be another witness on Monday. Or something. Tomorrow there is an afternoon hearing on the defense’s latest motion to dismiss. AKA giant waste of time.
The transcripts are four hundred pages. I think they are charging a dollar a page for them. I want someone to publish them online so I can read them this weekend. My early part of the week is already slammed next week.
TT. First Thank godness Obama left my city today. He arrived last evening. As far as the trial….aside from this being Az speculation here is they are doing everything twice to try and avoid any type of appeals later down the road.
Whether or not the porn access actually happened, is there anything to suggest that Jodi looked at the porn sites on this laptop too, with or without Travis being in the same room? She seems to have had access to his passwords. She may have also sent him the porn from websites.
Something’s rotten in the state of Arizona…
The whole porn thing is a waste of time. Nurmi says it is relevant because Martinez used the lack of porn in the first round as proof that Jodi like about the jacking off to little boys story. This jury has no idea what was going on and Juan berating all the witnesses is not a good look. It seems like they are getting ANGRY Juan instead of the Juan that calming outwits the defense and wins the jury.

The deal about the porn on TA’s computer is that it first showed up AFTER the defense checked it out. Would Nurmi do that? In a heartbeat.
I read that JA totally freaked when she found out that the Arizona Supreme Court said for the 2nd time that she can’t testify incognito. You’re right, TT, she is so use to manipulating people she thought she was going to win this one, too.
So you read my post?
I just went back to make sure that the information had not fallen out of the post that I wrote above. Nope. There it is. Right there in the post.
And yet… people keep posting they read “somewhere” that Jodi freaked out in court.
did anyone check to see if Travis’s computer was accessed by remote?
Yeah, yeah , he looked at porn. BFD! Last time I checked, it wasn’t a crime. Stabbing, shooting and leaving your lover dead in the shower is.
You are so right can you tell these. group of brainless lawyers .why did they not bring this up before.
I am going to be on the look out for Jodi’s secret testimony. If she was freaking out so bad, it’s gotta be good….
Per Monica Lindstrom, and quite ironically, the Supreme Court TWEETED OUT the denial of the stay! So I guess Wormy, Willnotshutup, and/or Chacha saw that. 🙂
Yeah, I get how the tweeters knew but the attorneys were in a sidebar with the judge when the tweet happened. I didn’t follow that part. I think the recess initially started for another reason and during the recess Wilmott check her email/twitter.
Yay, Supreme Court! COA rules IT was no one special. Don’t stop stomp on Our Constitution! At least some courts know how to function properly in Arizona! Can they please show SS how too make rapid decisions and maintain control of their courtrooms? Also let her know it’s normal to deny motions full of BS! Oh, and the biggest one, don’t show preferential treatment to a convicted 1st degree premeditated murderer. Doesn’t look good and not really in line with the law. Almost forgot, release the secret transcript it doesn’t mean in a week. Means immediately! There are alot of volunteers lined up to run copies. LOL:)
So from Nurmi’s perspective, Travis looking at porn sites implies that Jodi’s life should be spared, or a mistrial should be declared. Never mind that Jodi brutally murdered Travis, but since he’s dead and all, let’s worry about Jodi, and her rights. I think KN has more of a vendetta against Juan, than he cares about what happens to Jodi.
What’s so frustrating to watch, is all the tactics that Nurmi is using to delay the trial, and mislead the jurors. He’s throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. Why the Judge is even entertaining his ridiculous motions is absurd.
If you are an experienced Judge, who knows what you are doing, why be overly concerned about appeals? Shouldn’t this Judge be confident enough in her abilities to make decisions that might not favor the CONVICTED MURDER but are proper according to the law? I am seriously wondering about that. I am not sure Judge Stephens is the Ring Master in this circus.
I’m DYING to find out what Jodi’s secret testimony was! Especially if she is all freaked out. Made my day, I’m bouncing in my chair at work. I have loved your blog for a long time TT, thanks for all your efforts.
I read that she says she lied in the first trial. About what is anyone’s guess. I felt she lied about 99.9% of the time. So, she is now saying she lied about lies but isn’t lying now. What a crock.
I heard JA was really upset after she heard about the smack down the AZ Supreme Court ruled on. Court watchers ssid that was the most upset they ever saw her even from trial 1.
Lee, did you even read my post? Or are you here just to regale us with things you heard somewhere?

that would be good since she told the first jury she lied about her story “to everyone, but not you”, and then told this jury she lied to the first jury but not going to lie to this jury. i want to see what Juan had to say during her testimony
Thanks for hangin in there TT. I wonder if this trial will ever be over.
I want to follow the rules. Please forgive me, again. I promise I’m not doing it to make your life worse. Do you want me to cite the source or not say what I have read? There was one juicy nugget that I have not read anywhere else on the justice for Travis site. I want to share but I guess I don’t know how. There was only 1 comment @ JA’s private testimony. There is nothing to validate it, but it was an interesting comment on what Jodi might have said in her secret testimony.
The whole trial is so different than the trial last year. I wish we could still have those instant comments on a public trial. Sometimes we could barely keep up with the constantly changing testimony. One thing remains the same. JA is C-R-A-Z-Y!
The case being delayed over pornography on the computer is ridiculous! Jodi wants to prove that Travis viewed pornography? Why doesn’t Juan Martinez show the jurors the pictures that she took that were pornographic the day she murdered Travis. Her vagina plastered in the first trial her labia lips on full screen mode so much that women identified her parts as abnormal looking like giant portabello mushrooms! Now that’s too much information! Makes anything that Travis might have seen pale in comparison with the real life porn star Jodi!
