She looks wicked. Sure doesn't look like a poor, abused woman!!

And, that shelf? That was yet another deal sealer.

[NiteSpinR]

Oh I agree WRAP... it will be hard to imagine that the Defense will allow it too move forward that fast after weeks of dragging their asses!
Are we to assume from this announcement that the surrebuttal was denied?

[NiteSpinR]

Just heard from Nancy that Jodi is writing a tell all book behind bars, blaming Alfred Hitchcock for Travis' murder! Well sure... why wouldn't she blame Alfred she's blamed every other person for the murder already.
Also Jodi claims she was (at some point) pregnant with Travis' baby! (Strange that wasn't noteworthy enough to include in her journal or any of the 10billion text messages they exchanged.)
Nancy is still following the trial so she hasn't gotten to her show yet.

[NiteSpinR]

Also heard on HLN that new residents are living in Travis' house now.

[samgoodwin]

Just heard that pregnancy lie on NG, There is no end to her disgusting lies.

[samgoodwin]

In that photo with the tape measure by the shelves, if that was Flores, who is fairly tall, there was a long distance from his outstretched hand to that top shelf.

[PeterfromTexas]

Just heard that pregnancy lie on NG, There is no end to her disgusting lies.

What was the lie about pregnancy? tia

[samgoodwin]

She claims she was pregnant with Travis's baby "at some point" and she lost it. She said Travis was cold about it, so she must want us to believe she told Travis this. Funny how it was never mentioned until now, not in the journals.

[PeterfromTexas]

I turned on NG and saw Jodi said she miscarried Travis' baby. I guess that incident was so boring that she decided not to write about it in her journal. (Grumble grumble.... lying beotch!_

[samgoodwin]

Didn't she say they only had vaginal sex twice or something? LOL. Kind of hard to get pregnant with anal.

[NiteSpinR]

Maybe it was an immaculate conception!



sorry...

[samgoodwin]

LOL, Nite!

[PeterfromTexas]

Didn't she say they only had vaginal sex twice or something? LOL. Kind of hard to get pregnant with anal.

Remember that Travis raped Hodi in her sleep! Hodi obviously slept through rapes every night cuz you know every woman sleeps through rape. (sarcasm)

[samgoodwin]

LOL. I just TG she never did have a child of Travis's (or any child.) Can you imagine how she would flaunt that in Travis's siblings faces? OMG.

On NG they were saying how HOdi's plan is to golive in Europe with her lesbian lover when she "walks" after this trial, and then she will have a baby implanted in her and they will raise it. I think she watched too many of videos.

[raine1953]

Many thanks to all of you for your updates, I missed the whole day today.
I am making NO appointments for May 1, 2 or 3rd!

Yes for the updates.

BTW I had no clue what a helio phone was lol

Helio, Inc. (stylized as HΞLIO) was a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) using Sprint's network that offered wireless voice, messaging and data products and services to customers in the continental United States beginning on May 2, 2006.

What a load of crap!! Have yet to watch NG (dvr'd it)..w/see what I can come up w/online. HOW did NG hear this? I am sure this was a "BOMBSHELL TONIGHT!!" More like, 'BULLSHIT TONIGHT!'

We ALL know if Hodi had been knocked up, this would have come out in court. Blaming Alfred Hitchcock? It's too bizarre to even comment about.

Maybe I am HOPING the closing statements w/be delayed b/c I will be in Texas beginning May 1 through May 7. Won't have much time to watch the trial although I will have trusty puter w/me.

He is a white male in his 50s and is married. He also takes notes and has been observed submitting questions.

[Wrapitup]

Have not watched today's You Tubes'. Was Dr. Horn the only witness called today? TIA!

[NiteSpinR]

Juan has systematically shined a light on every lie she told the Jury. Too many for Hody Einstein to keep up with, but Juan was all over them and made sure the Jurors heard the TRUTH.
these may not be in order:
1) Well organized and meticulous Dr. Janeen DeMarte,PhD, slapped down Jodi's claim of Battered Woman Syndrome and added Borderline Personality Disorder to the mix. Then went on to say that the Defense's Expert Witnesses crept along the edge of inappropriate conduct.
2) Jacob Mefford (Travis's Friend) took the stand and told the Jury that Travis and Jodi did display affection for each other in public and backed it up with pictures. Jodi claims Travis ignored her when other people were around.
3) Jodi dyed her hair brown after renting the car on 6/2 and was stupid enough to use Searcy's phone to take time stamped pictures of herself 6/3, 2:12pm. Ryan Burns testified her hair was brown when she showed up at his house. While on the stand Jodi claimed he was mistaken.
4) She purchased a 3rd gas can from Walmart and despite her insistent claim about returning it, Walmart's records proved she was lying. Tesoro's records prove she filled up 3 cans of gas, instead of just 2.
5) Michael Melendez, again testified that no pornography or nude images were found on Travis' computer. Jodi claimed Travis had hundreds of images of women's breast. The jury brought up questions about the pictures on Travis' camera. Melendez says, Jodi browsed through the camera picking and choosing which pictures to delete and left over 90 behind. NO FOG THERE!
6) Poor Deanna Reid, (was in a long term relationship with Travis) testified that Travis never abused her in any way shape or form and that they had remained friends up until the time of his murder. He loved, respected and trusted Deanna. He did not feel for Jodi in the same fashion.
7) Flores revisited the stand to tell the Jury, no registration, no case, no box, no bullets for the gun were found in Travis' house or in the attic. And added with the aid of pictures... NO WAY did Jodi stand on a shelf in Travis' closet.
8) Dr. Horn, Maricopa County Medical Examiner, long story short, Jodi lied about the sequence of her attack on Travis. The gun shot did not come first!

So, do we know WHY Juror 8 was dismissed? My TV is screwing up!

A juror who has spent four months listening to tedious testimony in the Jodi Arias murder trial was dismissed today, just a week before the case goes to closing arguments.

The man known as Juror 8, who has taken copious notes throughout the trial and submitted several questions to witnesses on the stand, was dismissed today without comment by Judge Sherry Stephens.

Arias trial: State rests, juror 8 dismissed

Posted: Apr 25, 2013 2:09 PM EDT
Updated: Apr 25, 2013 3:07 PM EDT
By Steve Krafft, FOX 10 News - bio

PHOENIX -
It was a big day in the Jodi Arias trial. Not only did the state rest its case, but another juror was dismissed and Jodi spent much of the morning sobbing during testimony.

And then there were 15. Juror #8 was dismissed from the jury -- the third juror to leave the panel in the nearly four-month old trial.

There's no reason given yet by court staff.

Although I did notice that chair empty this morning, it appears that juror was not in court Thursday.

For the final day of testimony, prosecutor Juan Martinez called his last rebuttal witness to the stand -- the medical examiner.

Arias cried in court while Dr. Kevin Horn testified.

Horn performed the autopsy on Travis Alexander. He claims the gun shot injury through Travis' brain would have rendered him unconscious in a second or two.

Meaning Travis wouldn't have been able to fight back against Jodi had he been shot first.

And because there are defensive knife wounds on his hands, this suggests first Jodi stabbed Travis, then slashed his throat when he was down on his hands and knees, then shot him in the head.

"Again because of the injury to the brain, the information processing part of the brain would have rendered him unable to raise his hands to offer any sort of purposeful action or to verbalize anything," Horn explained.

Jodi appeared to be very emotional as she listened to all the details. I noticed she looked away from the computer screens and monitors showing the grisly autopsy photos.

Members of Travis' family also averted their eyes.

The prosecution is done presenting witnesses, but not the defense. Jodi's attorneys will call another psychologist to the witness stand next Wednesday.

No court until then -- that will be the last witness.

Closing arguments are scheduled next Thursday and Friday and then the case goes to the jury.

Posted on Apr 24, 2013 @ 3:24AM | By Debbie Emery

Murder defendant Jodi Arias has proven to be a master manipulator and habitual liar, but some of the questions thrown at her during the mammoth trial have tripped up the defendant, and RadarOnline.com has gathered the top curveballs that have confused Travis Alexander‘s femme fatale killer.

1. Would you decide to tell the truth if you never got arrested?
“I honestly don’t know the answer to that question,” Jodi replied bluntly.

2. You remember dropping the knife and screaming, but you don’t remember taking the gun or rope with you. Is that correct?
“In a sense, that’s correct. I remember that, dropping the knife and screaming and that memory came much later,” said Arias, citing her infamous memory lapse for not being able to give a coherent answer.

3. Had you ever had any firearms training or fire a .25 caliber pistol prior to this event?
Instead of a simple “yes” or “no,” Jodi fumbled, saying: “Never fired a gun, but I was relatively familiar with them. Not formally trained. But relatively familiar. Just — I don’t know. Not formally trained.”

4. How did Travis’ anger escalate after you shot him?
“He — I don’t remember the words he was saying but he was angrier. He was screaming more, he was cursing more. And we had fallen over right after that shot occurred and he was grabbing at my clothes and grabbing at me,”she replied. “And, again, as soon as I broke away, he threatened my life so that was definitely an escalation in his anger. That’s how I interpreted it.” (This is one of many that is complete bs!!)

5. Did you enjoy having sex with Travis?
“For the most part, yes, I did very much,” she replied, despite repeatedly painting Alexander as a violent sexual predator in her testimony.

6. Did he force you to do things you didn’t want to do?
Once the jury had heard endless sexually suggestive texts from Jodi to Travis heard her faking an orgasm on the phone, this question was understandably a little tricky for her to answer! “There were things I was uncomfortable with. I didn’t feel all together forced. I went along with it. So I didn’t — he didn’t physically force me or anything like that,” she stumbled.

7. Why did you wait for so long to tell the truth?
“Again, it took — it took a long time — it took a long time for me to get to this point. I never wanted to admit to this. And I had written out all my suicide letters. I sent in the note — I wrote something on the envelope to my grandmother, do not open until November 10, 2008,” she said, avoiding directly answering the question. “I was hoping to be dead by then. I was, like, giving myself a little time to get my affairs in order. That date rolled by and then more time rolled by and I was still here. So, with the evolution of just time and the years, a couple of years that went by, it was a gradual process and I began to feel not right about keeping it in instead.”

8. How many times did you try to kill yourself?
“I believe that was in California when I took apart my razor and was going to do that. That was the only serious attempt I had made. Other than that, it’s just like ideation, thinking how I might be able to do this or that, things like that,” she said of her half-hearted suicide attempts that involved collecting Advil for an overdose.

9. How can you say that you don`t have memory issues when you can`t remember how you stabbed him so many times and slashed his throat?
“I can`t explain why,” said the defendant who can recall what she ordered in Starbucks seven years ago but not stabbing her ex-boyfriend 29 times.

10. Did you see a doctor for your memory issues?”
“I don’t believe that I have memory issues that are really persistent,” she replied. “I just have trouble processing things under stressful circumstances. And June 4 is kind of in a class of its own.”

11. Did Travis ever tell you he kept his gun loaded?
“He told me of one time he considered loading it, but he assured me that it was not loaded,” she explained, describing the .25-caliber firearm she allegedly found in his closet and then shot him with.

12. If you did not think the gun was loaded, why chance grabbing a gun that may not be loaded instead of just running outside?”
“I grabbed the gun not because I intended to shoot him. I grabbed the gun because my thought is, ‘If a gun is pointed, you stop, whether it`s loaded or not,’” she claimed. I’ve always been taught you don’t point guns at people, period, just as a safety precaution. So I only imagine what I would do in that situation if a gun was pointed at me. I would stop. And I was hoping that it would have that effect on him.” Instead she did pull the trigger, as the bullet wound to Travis’ face proved.

13. How many men were you willing to be involved with at the same time?”
“Well, it depends on the level of intimacy. As far as a boyfriend, I have one boyfriend at a time,” replied Arias despite admitting to leaving the bloody crime scene in Arizona and driving directly to Utah into the arms of another man. An intimate partner, one at a time. In the church, you are encouraged to go on… In the church you’re encouraged to date around and find somebody that you might be compatible with and not to get too serious with somebody that you don’t think you would be very compatible with,” she said, bizarrely bringing religion into the answer about sex and serial dating.

14. Have you ever taken medication for your memory issue?:
“No,” she said.

15. How is it that you remember so many of your sexual encounters, including your ex-boyfriend, but you do not remember stabbing Travis and dragging his body?
“I don`t know how the mind works necessarily,” said the defendant. But I know that that was the most traumatic experience of my life. When I’m under a stressful situation, it`s as if my mind — you can imagine a computer that freezes. It’s turned on, but it’s not functioning. And you can hit the keys, but nothing`s happening. Just like the sound waves are hitting my ears, but the brain is not computing.

16. Why did you take photos of Travis’ bloody corpse after you killed him and then put the camera in a clothes washer?
“I don’t know why I would have done that,” said Jodi, unable to come up with a plausible explanation for her cold-hearted and crazy act.

17. Did you ever take pictures of yourself after he hit you?
“No, I did not,” she replied, refusing to expand on her answer.

A juror who has spent four months listening to tedious testimony in the Jodi Arias murder trial was dismissed today, just a week before the case goes to closing arguments.

The man known as Juror 8, who has taken copious notes throughout the trial and submitted several questions to witnesses on the stand, was dismissed today without comment by Judge Sherry Stephens.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

wow, so the defense got their surebuttal and Dr. Geffner will testify! That sucks. I'm guessing juror #8 was dismissed because he asked too many questions that didn't favor the defense? That seems wrong to me that they can do that.

[Wrapitup]

Since he was not in court this morning, I am wondering if he asked to be let go because after all the testimony, he had already formed an opinion that she was guilty. Maybe he voiced this and either was asked to be let go or they let him go because of his opinion. This is simply speculation.

Yep, looks like the defense won the surebuttal. I think that is WHY the judge said "we will be here on Wed, May 1 all day if we have to". She wants this "witness" to be DONE so closing arguments can begin on Thurs and Fri. I am wondering if the defense won the "crime of passion" b.s.

I am being completely selfish here. I do NOT want the closing arguments to begin until Wed., May 8th when I am back home. Won't see much of this IF any!!

Not that I will miss Wilma/Nurmnuts questioning their witness.....

[Wrapitup]

They are talking about the 'bomb sniffing dogs' that were in the courtroom and chambers. Could this possibly have anything to do w/the juror who was let go today????

[samgoodwin]

One small change, Dr. DeMarte diagnosed JA with Borderline Personality Disorder, not Bipolar Disorder.

[samgoodwin]

Apologies if this was already posted, but this is an excellent summation of the trial video...

[sweetcaro]

So thrilled the end is in sight and justice is so close :)

[PeterfromTexas]

Does anyone think it is possible that Juror #8 was identified as the juror asking the snarky questions (implied Hodi was guilty) and this was why he was released? If he was the only juror asking putting questions in the bowl at times, it would, of course, be obvious that he was the snarky one.

[NiteSpinR]

So thrilled the end is in sight and justice is so close :)

I agree!

[Nama]

I read that this juror was let go because he had told his boss that the trial would be over by a certain date and that's not going to happen. It's a time issue.
