So, many of the pics were purposeful. During the murder itself, it's clear that she either had the camera in her hand for part of it, or she stepped on the camera - causing some inadvertent pictures to be taken. After the murder, she erased the pictures - but they recovered them from the flash card.
The pic you mention in the first paragraph of her leg is when they think she may have been starting to drag him back to the shower, where she left him. I too have been inexplicably drawn to the picture where he is wet, and looking directly into the camera. Supposedly, this was part of the 'calvin klein' type shoot. However, the look on his face contains more emotion than just trying to say 'this is my sexy face' -- he's got some intense thoughts going thru his head at that very moment.
She claims she shot him first, however, the coroner *thinks* the shot was last bc there was no hematoma/blood pooling in his brain, at the site of the shot -- which can mean that the heart had already stopped beating. However, since his body was so decomposed when they did the autopsy, the coroner couldn't say this conclusion was an absolute.
As for her employment, she was waiting tables and trying to start her career w/ Pre Paid Legal - where Travis worked as well. Apparently, a lot of young Mormons work for Pre Paid Legal, I don't know why...probably bc it's owned by a Mormon, maybe...?
Some are saying that she planned this photo shoot so that she could get him in a vulnerable position. During the shoot, some of the pics are him sitting on the floor of the shower -- they're saying that when he was sitting in that position, that could've been when she started stabbing him. If the shot did indeed come last, I too am mystified as to why she shot him. Maybe to make it look like it was a huge self defense struggle, and to imply that she tried to shoot him - but he kept coming at her so she 'had to stab him' then...?
The only injuries she said she had was to her finger - that it was cut. And this is after she said he bodied slammed her to a hard tile floor, they had a massive struggle etc. If she did stab him first, I'm surprised she didn't have way more obvious injuries bc he is HUGE compared to her. I almost think it went down like this, given how few injuries she had: she tried first to stab him in the shower, he was injured but functioning and got up, she got the gun and shot him, he went down and was dying, she then proceeded to stab him in extreme rage - hence, the 29 stab wounds. |
I had no idea of any of this, I haven't heard any of the defense, I started with the tapes of the prosecuting attorney, and they haven't gotten this far. Again, if this was planned it takes it to a whole other level. So far I can easily see her enraged, because someone cheats on her, but then to kill him purposefully because of it, is so horrible. I've been hearing testimony about the gas cans. I'm finally guessing that the gas cans might be some type of proof of premeditation? She was going to burn the evidence because her story of saving money is crazy. Watched Nancy Grace last night and Jodi's friend Bryan Carr says Jodi expects that she will get off on a hung jury, then upon re-trial she'll get manslaughter and time served (5 years). I hope these jurors are brighter than this. Your story resonates with me better than any of the others I've read, shooting him last. Her phone calls with him are just creepy, there's no way he likes her, he seems bored out of his mind talking to her even though there are talking about sex.
Yorkietalkjilly on the Nancy Grace show I head that in AZ prosecutors can recross examine and even jurors are able to ask her questions, that should be interesting, I like that rule.
Since they were talking about Jodi's My Space page hers and Travis's pages up. Here's his page, it seems funny that he didn't have any pictures of her.
Travis on Myspace On her blog page, she has a bunch of inspirational quotes, saying that "The following has thrown a little light on the path for me. May it do the same for you if not more..." Apparently, she like to inspire people! They are a little creepy to read, knowing she did what she did. Travis comments, "You are as enlightened as you are beautiful. Those were some good ones. Some I have never seen before even."
Jodi Arias | blog on Myspace Again, I don't seen any evidence that he cared for her at all.
