Jodi Arias Trial Part 3, STILL in redirect of Jodi, Mar 5

[BearcatsFan]

YES YES YES YES OMG … see, see just what that JA does to me. She gets me sooooooo pissed off that I mess up my posts here on the DIS!!!

TY TY TY BCF!!!!

I figured it was Jodi's fault somehow. She'll just blame it on someone else, though.

Ya know what was getting ME so angry. I was watching some re runs of Vinnie from last week and JA was on the stand answering one of the questions about "WHY SHE LIED"

And as she answered she stated "WHEN TRAVIS PASSED AWAY" …

You stupid fool, he did NOT pass away he was MURDERED BY YOU. MURDERED.

That must have devastated the Alexander's when she said it that way.

 

[BearcatsFan]

Oh ugh. I didn't catch when she said that. I've tried not to go back and watch any of the youtube videos or anything ... haven't looked at the crime scene photos or anything ... because it makes me so angry.

Just because she's admitted to killing him doesn't mean she is taking responsibility for it, and that's what makes me the maddest.

Oh, BCF, the crime scene photos are just horribly sad. Esp because he was found a solid 5 days after she MURDERED Travis. Very very sad.

I have not seen any remorse from JA at all.

I think she is a smart mouth smug individual. Period.

This season does seem more sensational, or something. I never watched his show every day...I DVR it every day and watch what interests me, and the number of shows I've watched this season has decreased quite a bit. He's grouchier and almost every show is like an infomercial for his latest book (published by his son, ya know ). Today was a good one tho...a real tearjerker. I'll watch tomorrow's show.

Yep, I can barely stand it. I see the commercials, and then think... no way!

I just watched the 48 Hours video for the first time. She is pure evil. She makes my skin crawl. I can't take credit for Mr. Juanderful. I saw it somewhere and have called him that ever since. We need a name for Nurmi.

hysterical

I saw that and hoped that the jury also noticed it. It was like she was dismissing the whole thing, and I found it to be very insulting. I hope the jury did too.

I've never liked Dr. Phil. He always seemed so smug to me, and then when his son started getting in on the act I gave up on him completely. Plus his wife drives me insane just to look at her - she's plastic-surgeried to death!

OMG, that's what I really wanted to say and I could not think of it but it was indeed INSULTING. I soooo hope Mr. Juanderful AND the Jury caught it. Gawd.

I can take or leave DOC PHIL, but I would like to see him weigh in on this STALKER he is going to have on his show.

You a little wound up tonight, Kar?

Homicide IS murder.

So after I typed that line "homicide IS murder", I decided to google it and came up with this (learn something new every day):

"The killing of one human being by another human being.

Although the term homicide is sometimes used synonymously with murder, homicide is broader in scope than murder. Murder is a form of criminal homicide; other forms of homicide might not constitute criminal acts. These homicides are regarded as justified or excusable. For example, individuals may, in a necessary act of Self-Defense, kill a person who threatens them with death or serious injury, or they may be commanded or authorized by law to kill a person who is a member of an enemy force or who has committed a serious crime. Typically, the circumstances surrounding a killing determine whether it is criminal. The intent of the killer usually determines whether a criminal homicide is classified as murder or Manslaughter and at what degree."

As far as applying the death penalty...the jury needs to first determine her guilt or innocence, and hopefully they'll find her guilty of 1st degree murder. I hope they don't get hung up on the fact that they would then have to decide death or life in prison. I have no doubt that some jurors feel the same as you (it must be a daunting decision to make), but they shouldn't be considering her sentence when they're determining her guilt/innocence. They need an unanimous vote for death, and honestly, I don't think they'll get it. As pro-death penalty as I am (in the sense that I believe in the need for its existence) and as much as I believe she fits the criteria established in this case, I don't necessarily personally believe it should be applied here. I'm good with her rotting in jail for the rest of her life.

Anyone familiar with the murder of Dr Petit's family in CT? Those killers DEFINITELY deserve death, IMHO. What they did to that family is beyond horrific.True.

I'm half watching JVM, so this info is probably half correct. It appears that a Travis Victor Alexander was arrested in 2002 for shop-lifting and getting into a scuffle with someone at the grocery store, served 9 days in jail and 3 years probation and ordered to stay out of the store and away from the person he scuffled with. This is something that Jodi supporters posted online as proof of his violent tendencies. BUT the woman who is writing a book about the Jodi Arias case did some research and found out that it was a relative of Travis who stole his identity who was arrested, and that Travis had even spoken about it when he did his motivational speaking.

Also wanted to share this...the website for Alyce LaViolette, who is likely the expert speaker on domestic violence who will testify on Jodi's behalf:
http://www.alycelaviolette.com/

As a witness, she shouldn't be watching the case, but if she is, I wonder if she's re-thinking things or still buying into The Jodi Story.

No clue how to work my iPad so can't bold the part about homicide. I did understand that it's murder but in the definition/explanation you found, it says self defense could be part of it. That was my concern, the jury would believe the abuse and self defense line and she could walk because of that fine line. You had earlier mentioned something about what would happen if the jury saw the "Jodi is innocent" website, I've read most comments on there and their sheer ignorance to facts and her demeanor are enough to make me want to give her the max sentence without ever hearing all the evidence. I just don't get why some people defend somebody they don't know so vehemently.

Watched part of dr.phil today and the next show is about a couple who resemble Travis and Jodi so very much. The girl is obsessed with the guy, sends him a thousand texts a day and he wants nothing to do with her because she's so possessive and stalkerish but when she comes calling with sex, he lets her come over. Dr. Phil will dissect their relationship- he should show the guy the trial

 

[PebblesMK]

Oh, ANOTHER THING! lol Dr Phil tomorrow is about a young ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend...she's obsessed with him and keeps calling him/stalking him, and I guess he wants out of the relationship, BUT...they're still getting together for sex. Sounds like a Jodi/Travis tragedy in the making. I wonder if Dr Phil will bring that up.

I just posted about that too! If you happen to catch it, let me know how it goes. Not a huge dr. Phil fan, but my parents were watching and I caught 5 minutes.

 

[PebblesMK]

Well you all have been very busy in here today!!!!





Mare, my DS' ex-gf lived in Cheshire. He was dating her when this happened back in 2007 and they (ex's family) knew the Petit's. I kept up with as much as I could with the trial but my GAWD did I cry for that poor man. Cry cry cry. And then when he sat down with Oprah at his home. OMG the saddest interview ever. I wonder how he is doing?

Well that CRAP with the relative stealing and using Travis' identity is MESSED UP. Sheesh. And that STUPID DUMB website to be even discussing it when it does not have the FACTS.

I am sooooooo darn incredibly CONFUSED by this Battered Woman crap with JA ….JA WENT TO TRAVIS….TRAVIS DID NOT GO TO HER EVER. EVER. JA could have STAYED AWAY but JA STALKED THE HECK OUT OF TRAVIS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AND this was KNOWN by all his friends. JA WAS A SCORNED STALKER. Gawd. How the Prosecution thinks they are going to WIN with that CRAP is beyond me.

Thanks for that INFO about HLN!! I bet it is 7PM my time!!!!

No idea what I wanted to say in response to this. my mind is scrambled in my fog! (Just kidding, it was your demeanor and tone-what with your use of caps....I know that means ANGER, )

I just watched the 48 Hours video for the first time. She is pure evil. She makes my skin crawl. I can't take credit for Mr. Juanderful. I saw it somewhere and have called him that ever since. We need a name for Nurmi.

I like squirmy Nurmi. Jodi never answers correctly and makes him squirm

I saw that and hoped that the jury also noticed it. It was like she was dismissing the whole thing, and I found it to be very insulting. I hope the jury did too.

There is a lot that I hope the jury notices. I want them to ask Jodi why she kept going back to Travis after all the abuse when she lived hundreds of miles away. He never once made the attempt to come to Yreka to get her or use her, so he could say he'd be mad but wouldn't do anything about it.

I want them to ask it with the word "supposed" included.

"Why did you keep going back to Travis after all his SUPPOSED abuse?"

Because the ABUSE is ALL hearsay!!!!!!



OK I have a DIS question … who keeps MOVING the smilies around? Geez.

I missed having the testimony today. I hope JM rips into her on Wednesday.

I will say that i have to giggle every time Vinnie talks about Kirk Nurmi. Vinnie says his name so fast that it sounds like he's saying "Burt-n-Ernie."

One more day to get through. I am chomping at the bit with boredom.

You could always help me decide if I want to appear to be a bit stalkerish by contacting (massive google search was used to find him) an old boyfriend whom I haven't talked to in two years. Though there is no ill intent other than to say "hello". Seems like a bit much, yes? Jodi could help me out, send her this way.

Same here.....I find myself on youtube, the FB sites, (that OTHER site - side eyeing my neighbor lol) here and I'm still finding more information.

Jeez, youtube, one video leads to another, another one, then it's 2:30 am!
