Look at Juan. He looks bored. Not taking notes for rebuttal.

IMO, if any juror has a history with domestic violence/mental abuse and bonded with what Alyce said, then Juan did overdo the "Alyce is a big fat liar" strategy.

Wow, I thought it was just me that Nurmi was making points to support Martinez' argument! Her having 6 other cars of the family that she could use further proves she wanted the rental car to remain incognito for the murder!!




And Nurmi, Jodi may be "Intelligent" but she ain't perfect. She made MISTAKES!

Weird, huh? Usually it's the opposite!

12:42 p.m. ET:

The "conversate" word is one of my English Grammar Errors pet peeves that people do!!! Argh!


About the "covert mission mocking" - Nurmi doesn't have an effective "mock" down. Ridiculous!

It's Ebonics isn't it?

12:47 p.m. ET: Nurmi is repeatedly using the word "covert" trying to burn it into the juror's minds.

12:45 p.m. ET: Nurmi is now talking about the issue about how Arias allegedly requested a white rental car or a red car. Nurmi said that doesn't make sense, because a white car and a red car will not make the difference, because she could still be found in a white car. He also suggested maybe she didn't want a red car to avoid being pulled over for a speeding ticket.

Nurmi dismissing where and why and how Jodi bought the gas can - notice how Nurmi DID NOT cross examine the person by Walmart about the fact that Jodi did not return any car can!! He declined! That meant he must have agreed and nothing to quibble. So now during closing, he dismisses it. Unreal!

Nurmi proposing BETTER ways Jodi could have done it is IRRELEVANT!!!!


I bet Jodi is pissed... she should have done what Nurmi says

Maybe it began there? But many people make the mistake of saying it (George Anthony was a recent example).

12:52 p.m. ET: Nurmi said that if Arias wanted to avoided detection she could have just used cash to purchase gas, because if someone pays with cash there is no personal information recorded by the gas station.

12:49 p.m. ET:

“You don’t stop anywhere, you don’t visit any people, there’s no witnesses, you go in there clean and you do your business, right? Does she do that? Oh no, she didn’t. It doesn’t make any sense. What does she do? She stops in Monterrey, California. And what does she do in Monterrey, California? She visits two former boyfriends. This crazy woman that can’t let it go has friendships with two of her former boyfriendsm," said Nurmi.

Nurmi's squinting at papers is SO unattractive and unprofessional!!! Bet he can afford to buy bi-focals now!!

1:00 p.m. ET: From HLN's producer in the courtroom: The woman sitting next to Jodi is Mara Delarosa, her mitigation specialist. All defendants facing the death penalty get 2 attorneys and a mitigation specialist.

12:58 p.m. ET: Nurmi said it doesn't make any sense that Arias would turn the license plate upside down on her rental car if she was on a covert mission. She would obviously be pulled over for having a tag upside down according to Nurmi.
