I think she said, she only had two blackouts from alcohol, one when she was 15 and the other when she was around 22, I think she tried to make it sound like she overdrank only twice. I personally don’t see her as the type of person who needs to self-medicate, she doesn’t seem to think she has any problems; it’s everyone else with the problem. I also don’t think she has any memory lapses from the murder. They would ask her questions about the 29 stab wounds and want to know what the hell was she thinking, was she really still scared? Scared goes with self-defense, anger goes with premeditation, and I don’t think she wants to talk about it. These memory lapses, allow her to testify, and testifying helps humanize her to the jury, almost any talking at all will help the jury see her as a person and make it more difficult for them to choose the death penalty. In addition, with memory lapses, they can’t get her for perjury, and she doesn’t have to talk about the brutal aspects of the murder, which would probably certainly do her great harm.
I think Jodi told the truth once.
When asked, Were you mad at Travis while you were stabbing him, she said, “ I don’t recall
fear being a prominent I mean, I’m sorry, I don’t recall anger being a prominent . . .”
By the way, does anyone know what happened to the gun she bought for the camping trip? Is the prosecution saying that both her grandfather’s (stolen) gun and the gun she bought could have been the weapon?
