LL Hi! Jurors went home for the week-end. Starting Monday morning I think at 9:30 AM.

Hi LittleLaughter.

They are deliberating weekdays between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (Arizona time)

I don't know why the media would be outside the courthouse this weekend. I guess to keep up public interest/ratings and do fill-in stories in the meantime?

I came to the party late, and have had to do a lot of reading over the last week in an effort to catch up. I am still way behind, in that I don't know the earlier details. I voted in your poll; I suggested it would be 3 days because I felt these jurors would be meticulous in laying out the evidence for their reasoning. Even if they are in agreement, I believe at least some of them will want to lay it all out in an effort to be precise. I don't see them as being ready to do the quick exit. Perhaps because they could have done so already, but chose instead to wait. I hope their decision to wait til Monday was not based on a known division among them. In reading the early thread, I saw that it seemed to some that based on juror questions, that at least a couple of the jurors weren't convinced with the prosecutions case. I really didn't see that in the questions. Rather, I saw a meticulous thought process, which is something I would think would be appreciated in a jury.

Yes. I too hope this and every Jury take the time to go through all the evidence.

I came to this case late... but did go back and watch SOME of the early trial. There has been a lot of repetition. not sure exactly why? It is a serious case.. but not THAT complicated.

The evidence at the crime scene and in particular the autopsy report is, of course the heart of the case. Sufficient in itself to convict Jodi of Murder 1 (IMO)

The circumstantial evidence covering the planning and build-up to the Murder drives home the point of "pre-meditation" but it's not absolutely needed.

Jodi's claims of "self defence" "Battered woman" etc is silly on the face of it. But especially so coming from her since she has shown herself to be a liar ZERO weight can (should) be given to anything she claims.

Dueling "experts" at trials often tend to cancel each other out. On both sides their is always some question about their "opinion" being bought and paid for. The three defence "shrinks" to me were a bit (or a lot) shonky. I am biased.. but the two Prosecution shrinks had a bit more credibility... though as I say there is always a niggling doubt about an opinion obviously leaning towards the side that hires you.

IMO Jodi clearly planned quite meticulously over some time this murder. It is a silly defence to say... "if she did plan it she would have done more to conceal it" She did a LOT to conceal it. And anyway "premeditation" was also included in the minutes of the murder its self as she proceeded to stab and slash and chase and shoot.

Thanks. I will be there.

I saw a little too. Nancy was hugging on one of the prisoners. Yuk!!!!

I'll probably watch it though.

In my quick opinion, I think jodi didn't care as much about being caught as she did wanting Travis dead.
Killing him was her first objective, getting caught wasn't "as much" on her mind.
She relied on her manipulation and ability to lie to get her out of it.
Also, since she had been at Travis's house a lot that last year, she figured fingerprints, hair, etc would be easily accounted for.
She was too confident, and talked way too much. just sayin'

Some of my days I create the day with ultimate productivity in mind. Others I am looking for a lesson to be learned or to have a life experiance. Sometimes the goal is to do some service or philanthropy, but always when all is said and done, you tend to get what you focus on. It is as simple as that. Write down what you want life to bring you today and chances are life will bring it to you on a silver platter. Let me give you an example of what a day would look like, here is my list today.
1) Prayer 2) read Scriptures 3) Read 10pgs of a good book 4) Listen to 30 Minutes of Personal Development 5) work out 6) Money making stuff 6A) East Vally Email 6B) Team email 6C) Plan conference call 6D) plan colorado Training 6E) Update Calendar
7) journal 8) Ensign Article 9) Affirmation 10) Visualization 11) Yoga 12) 30 minutes of Spanish
13) Walk 2 Miles 14) Pack For Colorado 15) Passport Stuff 16) Apply for Corporate credit 17)Clean House 18) Touch up paint 19) Finish Blog 20) Mail Package 21) Buy Camera

Travis Alexander's blog

Oh Taurus he was going to buy the new camera for his Cancun trip?
Wow - he does a lot of productive things in one day.
I think Jodi being the wannabe photographer that she was, wanted to document the entire slaughtering including
the last photo of Travis alive (looking into the camera - frightened at what he saw?) till the last one - dead.
Can't they tell which injury came first? If he was STANDING at the sink, blood spatter everywhere... something was done to him first. Still strong enough to stand.
That stab to his heart would have taken him some time to bleed out. So he was STILL able to be on his feet at the sink then. Then the stabs to the back ... cruel rage!!! HATEFUL!!!! Then he started crawling to get away. (Blood seen lower on the wall - showing his path as he tried to get away from the MONSTER!) NO Jodi wouldn't have shot him first. SHE WANTED HIM TO SUFFER... to drag this out as long as SHE wanted. She knew when *SHE* HAD ENOUGH ... and SLASHED HIS THROAT almost decapitating him! NOBODY should EVER have to die such a cruel, painful death. WHAT WAS "IT" saying to him as "IT" was killing him? Emotional anguish I would bet!! I think of Travis, his hard beginnings, him at 15, so cute - just a young, cute lively innoctent buck.
And now - -
It's Over.

Here is another fine post from the same girl, Edie.

No Jury Will Convict Me". Why would anybody say that on TV, while in prison, awaiting trial (or, should I say, while she was concocting her many lies, including. her "self-defense" Foggy-girl B.S.)? That was such stupid thing to say-- and, this imbecility from a craven, sadistic murderer who considers herself to be a genius-IQ (like Einstein... LOL). Willmott admitted Arias' IQ is 112 (not "brilliant" by any means, and not the 119, claimed by "Need-Retirement-Money"-LaViolette, who I believe skewed the scores, 13+ too high, like she did Arias' psychopathy tests). Arias is glib, no doubt about that:-- she talks fast; and, is a good liar, because she's had a lot of practice telling a lot of lies over the entire course of her sordid & squalid life, particularly to men, whom she sexed, for accommodations/housing, trips & goodies. Intelligence, however, is not the same as arrogance, glibness (mis-using words like "edify" to make herself sound smarter than she is, when she actually used the word incorrectly)-- and, this budding "genius"-NOT might have wanted to take the time to learn the meaning of the word "NO"-- for, she claims that Travis Alexander was a Monster, who hit her; broke her finger; forced her into sex acts she didn't want; called her names; body-slammed her; and, ultimately, tried to murder her. Why couldn't this self-proclaimed "genius"-NOT attempt to use the word "NO" for once in her life-as-a-deadbeat-loser, and move on, getting a real JOB, for example? Because, none of the lies she vomited about Travis Alexander were true-- if he had been so abusive and so fast to anger [which his prior girlfriends & friends said he was not; in fact, he was the opposite]-- then, he would have indeed killed her or having body-slammed her on the tile floor (another Jodi Arias lie) he would have rendered her unconscious, requiring her to be hospitalized. In point of fact, Jodi Arias was the abuser; the stalker; and, the murderer. She wasn't as smart as she believes herself to be; getting away with murder literally; because this psycho drama-queen had gotten away with murder, figuratively speaking, her entire life-long. "No Jury Will Convict Me", she says... not the brightest little sex-pot in the world, is she (period).

As you can see, I am taking it easy for a few days ... since this trial is finally over. Searching around ... enjoying my computer/friends.

Which do you think this is? Slitting of Juan's throat (from the infamous slasher), or just scratching her neck?

Is that the same way she slashed Travis' neck from ear to ear?

Hi Mal! HOPE you are better!

Yes, that's her M.O.

Jodi the great slasher, of TIRES too!!

IF that jury sets her free... is JUAN in danger?

If they set her free, I don't think she'll care much about Juan.

Mal I do hope you are right.
Hope she doesn't hate him for ALL HE put her thru.

Looks like she aged 15 years in 5 eh?

That throat slash is quite creepy and before this trial, I would say it was an exaggeration to say it could be a throat slash - but after seeing Jodi in action and hearing her words, I don't doubt that it could be her doing a "self-soothing acting out" of what she would like to do to Martinez for "persecuting" her.

What amazed me is how she tried to lie her way out of saying in an interview a jury will never convict me. She even said mark my words on that.

On the stand she said why she said that. She said because she was planning on suicide and she would be dead. You could have knocked me over with a feather.

Being in solitary will absolutely be the WORST punishment for someone like Jodi. Jodi NEEDS attention, NEEDS to talk incessantly, NEEDS to show everyone how "smart" she is, NEEDS to win "prison idol" contests, NEEDS to manipulate, NEEDS to control, NEEDS sex, NEEDS social interaction- it would be a well-deserved torture for Jodi to be in solitary 23 hours a day!

Well, you didn't think she would say the real reason, now, did you? That she is an arrogant POS that thinks she is sooooo much more clever than the average bear!
