LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I just got caught on this one! My daughter came into my office with a weird face "what are you DOing Mom?" LOL


' you got two butts or what '

:) Thanks Junbug :)
:) Thanks Mari 68 :) (sorry you got busted!)

I am literally falling asleep waiting for this thing to start back up.
LOL, we should play a game.

What on earth can possibly be going on. My mind is racing with not so good thoughts, mistrial, plea deal, censure of somebody? This is ridiculous.

we're up..finally

and as soon as AL sits down JW asks to approach..who wants to bet these juror questions contain some doozys!

What was going on:

Michael Kiefer@michaelbkieferThe afternoon starts with Arias and two of the Alexander siblings back in chambers with the attorneys and Judge Stephens.

Chris Williams@chriswnews@Jaybunnni judge asks and takes the jury by their word unless there's other proof

Found this blog while searching Twitter. After reading the article about ALV going to the ER last weekend, (it discusses online comments regarding ALV as cyberbullying and possible witness tampering, and likened the social media response to her testimony to a "lynch mob"). I'm pretty sure there's a link to that AZ Republic article posted last night by Freckles.

Wasn't sure whether I should feel because I've been expressing my outrage at Alyce's testimony here on RC, or (as I was ranting about yesterday ...gulp) that those of us venting online are being judged so harshly because we dared to state our own opinions...

I spend all my online time here on RC, don't tweet...so I took a look to see what was being said, and found this...he has some really valid points, and is only one of the many sound voices I heard over on Twitter. Of course I didn't read everything said about her over on Twitter, but what I did see was nothing even close to cyberbullying or a lynch mob...if anyone has better info/insight as to what online forums the article was referring to, or even examples of such undeserved vitriol toward ALV, please let me know. I sincerely apologize if any of my comments were anywhere near that hurtful. It's not my intention to ever bully someone...any one...thought I was just voicing my opinion. Just fyi: if my voice offends any one, please just let me know.

Jury questions in. Alyce rambling.JA staring at jury.

OMG, you are so abusive.

OMG. She is such a .... OMG . I can't post what i'm thinking.

But did you notice when ALV is talking about JA specifically, her eyes stay on ALV, and flicker to the jury?

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaamble.

It's hard for me to believe that la violet actually is flim flammed by Jodi. For all her faults, I don't think she is dumb. That leaves only .... willful ignorance.

I can't believe she didn't even bother to read Jodi's journal entries BEFORE she met Travis, especially since she could have written about past boyfriends!

why does the judge allow her to go on and on and on like this

She's lying like Lance.

Catching up. This caught my eye and left me rolling...

She is into S/M and getting her beating for the day?
I dunno. Maybe she has been hypnotized.

everybody remember now the questions are being read in the order they were submitted..you will be able to tell when direct has ended and the questions were written during cross

That answer about people lying and using famous liars as examples was just silly.

Okay, I caved - got the live stream going.

Not that I can keep my eyes on it but I just gotta see this woman's face while she LIES!

OMG

she is simply NOT going to answer!

the woman flat out is refusing to answer yes or no

The issue is the word, "self-defense".
Same as with "premeditation."
She can describe all around just can't say the words...
that is for the jury to come to a conclusion on.

carlakay wrote:the woman flat out is refusing to answer yes or no

$$$,$$$

asked about Jodi kicking her mother hitting her mother and calling her sister stupid..does this make her an abuser..AL answer all typical for a teenager (um she did ALL after 18 dumbass!)

I don't think AL's motivation in this case is money. She makes plenty of it. Trust me.

She's got other motives - and they could be just that she has feelings for Jodi and doesn't want her to die.

or this could be one of those "anti death penalty" issues where she's willing to fall on her own sword for her moral compass regarding it.


Because really, this isn't making any sense. She's been paid and will continue to until she's off the stand no matter what she says up there.

So now Travis is not just a womanizer, he "inserts" himself into marital relationships "pretending" to be empathetic to advance himself???

SHUT UP!!!!!

carlakay wrote:everybody remember now the questions are being read in the order they were submitted..you will be able to tell when direct has ended and the questions were written during cross

I have to keep telling myself this every time the jury asks their questions and they start out so slow.. and I agree you can always tell when cross starts! and the juror questions start ending with "answer yes or no".

Jodi's prob stashed a voodoo doll of AL in her hoo hoo's (yes 2 of them...lol) and uses the pen she snatched to poke it......LOL

Great!
Was JA an abuser for slappping her mother, calling sister stupid, and kicking her mother?

ALV says it was when JA was a TEENAGER! HASN'T SEEN ANY physical violence when JA was adult...


SO WRONG!

Have you ever seen a situation where a victim kills their partners because there was no other way out?

Ummm, *I* can answer that!!!!


Duh!!! Happens all the time!

Women who don't wait for just one more head bashing and kill their husband while he sleeps!

I read about this weekly in the news and AL has to "think" about it for a moment?????

Gimme a damn break!!!!

just gonna say it..IF AL is as light in her loafers as some commented upon first seeing her than I'd have to think she could be championing her for same reasons Gus and Samuels did.

Now having just said that I wanna make it clear I really dont give two snits about this womans preferences and I actually believe she chose to defend her because they are kindred spirits..lol

Ummm she kicked her mom when she was in Mesa...

Bo, you really do crack me up!

Chris Williams@chriswnews#JodiArias juror question: "Have you ever seen situations where a victim kills their partner because they see no other way out?"

...

OMG....SHE DID THAT AS A TEENAGER...SO NO HARM NO FOUL...BUT TRAVIS GREW UP IN HIS SITUATION AND THAT DEFINES HIM???!!!!!

Bmore wrote:Ummm she kicked her mom when she was in Mesa...

Called her names to TA.
Phone call early May 2008.
About the time sis had prom, BTW...

You got it - what a double standard. She goes there every time.

Does she ever shut up, these long winded answers are killing me.

I just got home a little bit ago so i'm watching on HLN to catch up... still on 'direct' questions?

She answered too quickly the question re high conflict and terrorism issues...

OMG! I hope the juror who asked this question immediately submits a new question: "According to testimony, the events of hitting and kicking her mother and calling her sister stupid occured only months before the murder. Given this information, would you say that Jodi is an abuser?" BAM

Bmore wrote:I just got home a little bit ago so i'm watching on HLN to catch up... still on 'direct' questions?

Jury questions...

I totally think that the reason for the big delay before the q's is because the defense didn't want ALV to answer some of them in a certain way..you can tell when she hesitates so much and the defense keeps interrupting
