Here's the deal, Jodi's attorney is very slow and soft spoken and let's her tell her story in a long winded way, it's not merely a yes or no thing. He feeds her lines and allows her to process her story and spew more lies each time. By doing that, it's hurting her because she adds details that she can't remember later.
The prosecution fires off questions in a stern way. They are generally yes or no questions and when she starts rambling, Juan Martinez pulls her back in and tells her to answer. He fires off the questions so quickly that she doesn't have time to think of the lies she tells and trips herself up. Jodi is claiming to be battered and yet, she throws in little remarks to JM like "I get confused when men like YOU yell at me just like Travis did" or she will tell him she wasn't finished answering. She's very combative in her words, her glares are telling, her avoidance of questions, her "fog" that happens because of JM's demeanor.
But what it ultimately comes down to is that she has lied straight to the jury's face and gets upset when called on it. She believes she's smarter than everybody else (which she has pretty much admitted when telling why she made up stories), she is a terrible person.
I just couldn't take another second of it. I was getting more and more angry listening to her and Nurmi drone on and on. I'm personally kind of glad for the multi-day break.
