You are so riiiiiiiight!!

So Jodi was only an angry teenager. What does LaViolette think it takes to commit the slaughter of Travis?

6:06 p.m. ET: The judge asks LaViolette to answer the previous question with a "yes" or "no" and not elaborate. She says she's unable to do so.

6:03 p.m. ET: Juror question: "Is it common for women in abusive relationships to snap and commit violent acts against longstanding perpetrators?"

"Usually what we find is that women, when they snap in a lethal way, it’s been a self-defense kind of situation," said LaViolette.

The prosecution objects and the comment is stricken from the record. Attorneys are at a sidebar.

LaViolette says Travis's relationships weren't long term like with Jodi - long term? They were together less than 5 months and they lived in separate states! Wow!

Be honest, LaViolette!! She just finished saying how she hasn't worked with anyone with a weapon! So how can she answer this question?!

DRINK!!!

OMG I feel homicidal.

Ha!! The prosecutor wants her to name the case she is referring to.

I hope the prosecutor keeps this up.

6:11 p.m. ET: The attorneys are at a sidebar.

6:08 p.m. ET: A juror asks about the incidents where Arias kicked and hit her mother. "Would this characterize Jodi as an abuser?"

"I believe that happened when Jodi was a teenager and what I would characterize that as is a very angry teenager… I think teenagers do a lot of things that, unfortunately, I don’t think are great things to do. And I know she has anger with her mother and I know that has been part of her history," said LaViolette. But she hasn't seen any evidence that Arias was violent towards her mother as an adult.

HAHA - Guess she couldn't cite a case!

I guess not!!

"No fear" with tire slashings, hacking in to bank accounts, computer accounts, stalking.....

6:16 p.m. ET: A juror asks if it's possible that Arias exaggerated the violent events between her and Alexander.

"I think anything’s possible. When I look at the kind of escalation that I’ve seen with Mr. Alexander and when I listen to what his friends have said, it is very difficult for me to believe that," said LaViolette.

6:14 p.m. ET: Juror question: "Is conceivable that a woman could kill her partner just to get away with the abuse?"

"I would say that it’s conceivable but rare," said LaViolette.

Juror question: Have you seen cases where both sides are victims and perpetrators?

LaViolette says she has seen before that but the relationship doesn’t usually stay at that level. The man usually becomes more violent. She doesn’t think Arias and Alexander were in this type of relationship

Ooooh, finally a good question!!


Could any of Travis' actions be considered defensive rather than abusive?

LaViolette: Travis' went beyond defensive.

omg - How about - Don't you wish you could get a complete story from Jodi?

6:21 p.m. ET: A juror asks if it's possible Arias is guilty of being psychologically abusive towards Alexander since we haven't seen all of their conversations. LaViolette says she doesn't see evidence of that.

Juror question: "Could any of Travis’ actions be considered defensive rather than abusive?"

"When I look at the kind of tirades, that is beyond defensive, that is tearing somebody’s character apart," said LaViolette.

6:19 p.m. ET: Juror question: "How does it affect your assessment when you don’t have the whole story from both individuals?"

LaViolette says it is common in murder cases to not have the whole story but you try and gather all the information you can to make your assessment.

"My goal… is to get as much information as I can from both sides because I don’t want to biased. I don’t want to be just seeing one person’s point of view,” said LaViolette.

Why didn't she interview anyone???

This is a HUGE problem. Not only did she NOT interview anyone, the information she received from the defense was INCOMPLETE or in her words, "restricted."

Wow I like the questions and the stupid answers. This jury is right on.

6:25 p.m. ET: Juror question: "Does it concern you at all that you can’t get a full and complete story from Travis?"

LaViolette says it does concern her: "I got as complete a story as I could get."


6:21 p.m. ET: A juror asks if it's possible Arias is guilty of being psychologically abusive towards Alexander since we haven't seen all of their conversations. LaViolette says she doesn't see evidence of that.

Juror question: "Could any of Travis’ actions be considered defensive rather than abusive?"

"When I look at the kind of tirades, that is beyond defensive, that is tearing somebody’s character apart," said LaViolette.

Jodi priming her tear pump. I can't take this!
