Jodi Arias -- Trial for the murder of Travis Alexander #5

the break for the juror with the bad headset... he apparently has a hearing problem... I like that, he's going to be more in tune with other forms of communication like body language...

dr.d jurors said that the tone of the questions seemed like JM asking them, his tone... was it this or was it that ma'am? So if they're actually picking up on his to the point style I don't think he offended them or turned them off on being to hard on Jodi...

I just got back now, but I thought of another question to ask JA:
Where did the floor mats go from the rental car? What was the red stain in the car. Did she drink Kool Aid?

Jury grills woman accused of Arizona lover's murder

9:12 p.m. CST, March 6, 2013

PHOENIX (Reuters) - A woman accused of murdering her Arizona lover struggled on Wednesday to explain to a jury why she could not recall stabbing him repeatedly including several times from behind in a killing she says was in self-defense.

~Snipped~

"I can't really explain why my mind did what it did, maybe because it was too horrible, I don't know. I really don't know the answer as to why I blacked out or have memory gaps for much of that day," Arias testified.

Arias has said the memory lapse began immediately after she shot Alexander, although she later recalled dropping the knife on the tile floor in the shower and driving away from the crime scene.

Asked by the jury if she had sought medical help or taken medication for her "memory issue," she replied that she had not.

Come on "what is your understanding of the definition of skank?"

They know the answers to these questions - these aren't questions, these are STATEMENTS!


This jury is ON to her!

Gosh, Mari, I hope you are right. Part of me thought that, and hubby who has not been watching it until tonight really was rolling his eyes saying "not believable" at all. She just fires off these glib answers for EVERYTHING, and I am so worried that jurors may buy into it. I was so pleased with the questions, but just as I thought, not a single answer was the truth, so does it really do any good?
Got so angry and sickened all over at the repeated reinforcement of Travis as pedophile! I don't know the man but in a way I feel I do, and I just hurt for him, and a promising life cut short, and for his family sitting there day after day enduring this.
Jodi is pure evil, really truly evil.

I heard the question about defining 'skank'. Wha? I missed whatever this was about and no mistake! Can someone tell me what the heck that was in reference to---the story behind it, PLEASE??!

We watched until court was dismissed for the day. Were ALL the questions covered, or are they to be continued tomorrow? Sure seemed like there were at least 100---went on for hours here, with all the commercials. Just so maddening and exhausting listening to her lies. Noticed she went over the murder with the floor plan at lightening speed and with NO TEARS, nose wiping, etc.! Ugh! Makes my blood run cold. What a heartless piece of work she it!

Well, looking forward to hearing from someone here what the 'skank' query was all about....G'night!

Yes, I did kind of get that impression from a few of the questions but didn't dare to hope it was true! So glad to hear you say it! Still hoping to find out about the story behind 'skank'!

Did she have it hidden in her backpack when that guy went through her backpack- I don't remember the names.

One thing hubby said and I was about to---the minute we heard camping trip, all guys EXCEPT her, some she didn't know---"NO WAY"!

- the gun was on the shelf, the gun was in a holster, the gun was on the shelf and wasn't in a box?
- TA said gun wasn't loaded but thought about loading it, but during this event she grabbed a gun that she knew wasn't loaded to point and deter a man that knew it wasn't loaded too.

hmmm... have to think of some more

Here's one more...TWICE during the jury questions she said very distinctly, "Travis STEPPED OUT OF THE SHOWER" to attack her. Remember the brouhaha with Juan when he asked her about this and she kept saying "well, maybe ONE foot was still IN the shower"??? They went round and round over it, and she refused to concede he was STEPPED OUT. Tonight, he DEFINITELY "STEPPED OUT OF THE SHOWER". I heard it TWICE, and picked up on that right away.

Jodi Arias trial live video: Arias answers juror questions in murder case Wednesday

KPNX - Phoenix, AZ


PHOENIX - Jodi Arias was peppered with a wide range of questions Wednesday as jurors in her murder trial asked about everything from Mormonism to the definition of a derogatory name she says her lover called her before she killed him.

Arizona is one of just a few states where jurors are allowed to ask questions of witnesses during a criminal trial as a matter of law, meaning the judge is required to notify the panel of its right to pose queries. In most other states, the process is either banned altogether or it's left up to individual judges to determine whether jurors can question witnesses.

Judge Sherry Stephens previously said the jury had about 100 questions for Arias, but by day's end, more than 150 were asked, and additional queries continued to come in. Arias is set to take the stand Thursday for a 17th day as Stephens will continue to read questions aloud.

We are SANE people trying to rationalize the actions and the mind of a SOCIOPATH.

No matter how much we try to understand, we will never know or grasp this way of living or the depth of the sociopathic mind. The experts don't know either, they can speak of statistics and generalities. An individual like this stands out- they can't fit in, they leave a trail of victims and can't stay beneath the radar for too long.

In order to protect society, these individuals have to be severely medicated, incarcerated or put to death. After brutally butchering up another human being for reasons only justified in their own mind- how do they rewire a dysfunctional motherboard?

How many of these so called experts are willing to rehabilitate this person in their own homes? How many experts will jeopardize their careers and reputations testifying this individual will not honestly harm another human being? They won't and cannot.

It was a joke that Wilmott put her arm around JA for the benefit of the jury.

Would Wilmott REALLY do that in another scenario- like at a family dinner at her house, or in a one on one non-public, non-secure environment? I think not.

It would be easy to confirm weither this camping trip occurred by interviewing those who allegedly went on this trip- which I think was done. (Someone can confirm this if they are familiar with it)

Remember it was said Travis got pissed at her- the guy went through her backpack and she was pissed- perhaps this was before they left.

Oh, I was told the Book CLEARLY defines in easy to locate passages and sections EXACTLY what is expected of a man and a woman; it is almost sexually explicit. As in, "You want me to draw you a picture??"

When she tried to sound impressive by stating HOW many times she read the Book before murdering Travis, and how many times since she has been in jail, she BLEW IT BIG!

Bmore wrote:might have mixed that answer with another similar question, there were a couple talking about her memory, mental and medication problems...

that is has she ever been medicated for these issues or something like that...

And I was falling off my chair, almost
I think SHE thought the question was going to be about TRAVIS seeking counseling!
They saw thru her game!

Excellent! Abused woman?

clipped-
"Recounting stories of domestic violence arouses and unearths the raw emotions of the most formidable survivor. But not so with Jodi Arias. Her recitations of alleged abusive experiences were flat and ambiguous. Her testimony was void of emotion and void of passion. Jodi's eyes were dead and her words hollow. She could not fake the anguish that real victims of domestic violence live with for many years after the abuse has stopped.

The immediate, long-term and rippling effects of domestic violence are real. The need for the Battered Woman Syndrome is paramount. Therefore, anytime a defendant like Jodi Arias lies about being a battered woman, the hard work of domestic violence advocates everywhere is undermined. For this reason, I take this stand against a woman who says that she was the victim of domestic violence. "

" . This jury has identified so many aspects of her story that do not make common sense. Could they have this many skeptical questions and still believe what she has told them? I don't think so. If they weren't buying it during direct examination, why would they buy it now? This was a disaster for the defense. Her testimony is sputtering to the finish line.

Now, the defense needs their experts to clean up this mess. Good luck with that."

You and I both know not too much is "as she describes"!!!

She's a full blown sociopath, a pathological liar, and a very vivid storyteller. I think part of her lives in another dimension, she goes there when she goes to sleep to recharge.

I am telling you again, one of the biggest whoppers of the day yesterday was the lie about her going on the camping trip with all guys! NO WAY DID THIS HAPPEN!
I think the jury, if they are smart, and they appear to be--- will see that this is a huge, unbelievable yarn spun to account for having a gun herself, and would NEVER believe it, just as we didn't!
To go to such a preposterous place, she HAS to be scared re gun---It's premeditation!
I think---hope---the jury will see through the smokescreen and come to the conclusion that she DID steal the gun from grandpa's house.

BTW she gratuitously threw in, while answering another question that the gun was stolen "among other things". I believe I had heard that NOTHING ELSE was stolen, so this is one of many lies yesterday that needs to be addressed by the prosecution.

...Still waiting for the whole backstory on the 'skank' question??????????

That was my understanding as well- nothing else was stolen.

I've heard money was NOT taken and something was missing from each room, but nothing elaborated on or confirmed.
