[Wrapitup]

LOLOLOL, Nite.

So, please give me the meat. Was this shrink for the defense any good? Was the State's witness good? Are you all exhausted?

I won't get to see closing arguments at all.

Kudo's to all of you who were here the entire day and were able to listen to Wilma whine. OMG!! I hope the juror's are so turned off by her!

[Wrapitup]

OMG, I love Juan! He just asked Geffner if he went to the Alyce Laviolette school of lying.

He actually said that? Did Wilma object? Did the courtroom roar w/laughter?? That's HILARIOUS!!

[Wrapitup]

[Wrapitup]

Geez, how many more parts are there???? Holy crapolla!

[Wrapitup]

This defense dude sounds like a real winner just listening to him for 5 min.

[samgoodwin]

OMG, I love Juan! He just asked Geffner if he went to the Alyce Laviolette school of lying.

He actually said that? Did Wilma object? Did the courtroom roar w/laughter?? That's HILARIOUS!!

Yes, Wilma objected. No outright laughter, but I'm sure there were some grins. Wilma had lots of hissy fits today, slamming her clipboard on the table at one point over something Juan said.

I thought Dr. Hayes (the last witness) was very good, she backed up all of Dr. DeMarte's stuff and didn't help the defense at all.

[samgoodwin]

Don't know if Juan's going to agree with her being a good witness. She just told Wilma that many people hand score test (She does) so did Samuels. Wilma made sure to make her repeat it twice and added, "It's not that hard to do" with a cute little smile on her face, no clue she had just been caught in a trap. Wilma was tickled pink and smiled back. She sounds like a kinder gentler Wilma now... she thinks she SCORED!

I did catch that Nite, but in the big picture, I don't think it matters. Samuels was already proven to be a doofus. So excited that tomorrow is actually closing and that Juan gets to go first and last. Team Travis!!

[Lilone]

I don't think it will be a big issue, but the fact that the ME admitted to an error in his report may have a negative affect. I'm sure we will hear all about it in Squirmy Nurmi's closing argument.

[Wrapitup]

[Wrapitup]

[Wrapitup]

[Wrapitup]

Above, they are all saying Juan was too strong on cross. I don't know as didn't see much..maybe 5 min.

Just hope she's found convicted of Murder 1 no matter if she's bipolar, psychotic, or the Queen of Sheba.

[samgoodwin]

I think HLN was wrong about Martinez. Mark Eiglarsh (sp?) (and others) have said all along that Juan was too tough and not focused enough on the actual brutality of the murder. But I'm betting juan will zero in on the brutality in closing.

How come it's not started yet? I thought it was supposed to start at 9:30 this morning? It's already 11:45 here.

[Guest]

ABC reported it was suppose to start at 9 am Arizona time. That was 45 mins ago. No idea of what the holdup is.

Counsel is still in chambers. There is a nice little buzz here this morning. Very exciting. #JodiArias

I guess they're still in chambers.

I'm actually kind of nervous having to wait, which is odd. I know Martinez has got this though.

Where's the skank?

[Guest]

Finally here we go.

[samgoodwin]

HOdi is holding up the show and the judge looks pissed.

[samgoodwin]

Oh, we have jury instructions first.

[NiteSpinR]

The Courtroom is PACKED!
The crowd giddy with anticipation!

[NiteSpinR]

Juan is conducting his closing arguments. Wilma is chewing gum and rolling her eyes every time Juan says something she doesn't like. Seriously the Judge should not be allowing this kind of conduct from the attorneys.

[Guest]

I think the eye rolling Wilma is doing is not going over big with the jury. So disrespectful.

[Guest]

Juan has stumbled a few times. Repeating himself.

[NiteSpinR]

Stumbling... or purposeful repetition?

[NiteSpinR]

We've heard during closing arguments that the attorneys aren't suppose to use notes, maybe that's why Juan is repeating things.
I'll wager that Wilma gets up with that legal pad full of notes and reads what she wants to tell the Jury.
The difference between professionalism and NOT!

[Guest]

The pain on his sisters faces is breaking my heart

[raine1953]

I feel so bad for the sisters of Travis! They are crying and there Wilma is chewing and rolling her eyes.
Personally I'd love to slap the you know what out of her! MOO.

[NiteSpinR]

It is heartbreaking seeing the pain on their faces and in their eyes.
An Wilma does need a good smack on the head.

Juan just said Washington Mutual must believe in the law of attraction, because they didn't want to report anything bad.
Juan is talking about the picture CD's to say that she knew before she left Yrecka that she was going to Travis' despite what she's claiming!

[Nama]

Thanks to HLN for not interrupting Juan every five minutes to go to commercials. I haven't seen one commercial since he started his closing argument.

[Guest]

He is doing a great job of reminding the jury of the evidence and testimony during his closing. He is methodical bringing it all together for the jury.

[raine1953]

I am shocked that HLN hasn't gone to commercial BJ! Good for them.

[raine1953]

omg, squealing like a cat..........

[samgoodwin]

I was amazed that HLN went without commercials! I turned down my computer sound and watched it on TV. Juan did so great! And he's still not even to the day of the murder.

Nurmi is doing closing for defense, this may be a bit better than Wilma's irritating voice, but it will probably be really slo[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] And I'm sure he'll bring up all the sex crap again.

For me, the big aha! moment was when Juan brought up that she brought the CDs to show Travis which showed she knew she was going to see Travis all along.

The squealing like a cat comment even made HOdi laugh.

Nurmi is doing closing? He talks so slow and adds annoyance words, errrrr, welllll, sooooo. Whiny Wilma would be more effective (HA! as if it's possible to deny the Truth at this point.)
For me, the big aha! moment was when Juan brought up that she brought the CDs to show Travis which showed she knew she was going to see Travis all along. I thought that too Sam and I don't remember ever thinking that was another factor in proving premeditation. Which it does without a doubt, even if the proof about the gas cans is disregarded.

The squealing like a cat comment even made HOdi laugh. Oh it definitely was a crowd pleaser and I thought it was even funnier when he reminded the Jury that Jodi was faking because she needed two hands! It quickly made me think about Alyce "I'm not an expert in Orgasms Mr. Martinez!" I can only imagine how hard it was for Juan not to make a snarly remark back at her! LOL! I sure would have.

The needing 2 hands thing floored me.
