****Jodi Arias - Oh My Goodness!!!****

[Nancy1999]

I thought she was very unprofessional, I mean Juan got so much criticism and LaViolette even told him he needed a time out and he didn’t call her a bitch! (I did though. ) Willmott’s other attempts, to be snide also fell short. Once, when DeMarte said something about “we had to do that because of all the inconsistencies, Willmott. smiled and said, in her best Juan impression, “That’s funny because we’re not talking about that now are we?”

Willmott also implied DeMarte boosted her credentials where she “advertised” in Psychology today, it’s very common for masters levels studies to have clients, and in many programs it’s required and yes that would be considered part of the years you have been practicing. Also, trying to put her down for not owning a psychological test was pathetic, there are hundreds of tests and psychologists are not required to own all of them and many tests measure the same thing and psychologists have preferences.

Finally, it was a huge mistake when Willmott told DeMarte that she was wrong and Lenore Walker, who originated the concept of battered women, did not use her own measures. Did Alyce tell her that? Lenore Walker was interviewed by Nancy Grace last night and she said that was incorrect, she still uses the old measures.

Yup, all of this. Wilmott tried *so* hard to trip up DeMarte, and it just fell flat. Instead of coming off irritating, tough, abrasive, and aggressive like Juan - she came off as snippy, trite, and pretty desperate. Still, I do like Wilmott - I think she has a nice style in general, but not as smooth as where it needs to be. I wonder how long she's been in the courtroom practicing...anyone know?

Btw, I don't think she said bitch at all...she wouldn't do that. I think she is saying something like "lemme gitcha" when she is trying to get those papers for DeMarte. That said, it's WAY more entertaining and fun to imagine her saying WHAT A BITCH .

I wouldn't think someone would say that either in court either, but when I see Jodi's reaction in the background it convinces me, it was bitch. Her head shot up and she smirked at the remark.

I hope she didn't say it, that would just be over the line, they tried to call a mistrial b/c Juan has intimidated witness, I wasn't sure if she was trying for a mistrial since this would turn the jury against her. I liked her okay before she questioned this witness, since it’s an area I possess a little knowledge it really irritated me that she was trying to get the expert to mislead the jury, if the truth doesn’t work, don’t bend it, find another possible truth. I did think she had a serious low point when she irritatingly asked something about, are you trying to say you can’t get any more information from Travis Alexander? Demarte was such a professional, I'm just so impressed.

Here's another picture I thought was funny.

Hope the judge doesn't allow the defense's motion for a surrebuttal and another "expert witness" for Jodi. Janeen's assessment of personality disorder isn't "new evidence". They had every chance to know what Janeen was going to testify and test and address Arias themselves over this issue during their case in main and didn't want to go there.

[yorkietalkjilly]

Will she never stop???? I just heard watching the late Nancy Grace show, that now Arias is coming out with the fact that she was pregnant with Travis Alexander's child!!! Her fantasy story just keeps growing and growing and growing and she has no idea of how sad and pathetic and just plain old obvious her "stories" are. All this time and she's never before mentioned to a soul that she was pregnant? IDK what is supposed to have happened to the baby or if she aborted or miscarried or what - just that NG said Arias said she was pregnant. Was that in testimony when she was on the stand? I'll admit I don't really watch the trial itself except on one or two occasions, watching at times for 5 mins. or so at times but mostly catch up with it on HLN's evening shows or internet news stories or occas. blogs. So I've missed the most of her actual testimony but boy, I think I'd have picked up on the pregnancy issue had it been mentioned before.

[yorkietalkjilly]

Oh, I hear now, some guy named ?Mike Walker? saying that she says she was pregnant and lost the baby via miscarriage but no details of when or what hospital she was treated in for treatment - no nothing. So IDK if she really even said that - just some guy saying she said it and he's only saying he got this from his source. And he says she is writing a book on legal pads in jail and I guess in court, to get rich from when she gets off! I did hear someone earlier on another program mention the book.

Did you guys hear that the judge is saying the trial will go to the jury by next Friday? So all that's left for trial is next Weds (no trial now until then), Th, Fri. Cannot believe the END is in our SIGHT. Good gawd.

[Nancy1999]

I'm so glad it's coming to an end, I just won't be able to take it if she gets off too and by this I mean manslaughter or any type of self-defense ruling. I really do think she's a danger to society. I felt so bad for Deanna and she had to answer some very private things and Nurmi was so rude to her. During her testimony, Jodi is using her little yellow pencil to do her eyebrows. It really bothered me because she was trying to be sneaky about it, it like she thinks she so smart and can trick everyone. I think this little clip says so much about her. Anyway, it starts at 46.32 and continues watching to 46.40. In just 8 seconds you can see so much, she has no empathy for anyone else.

I agree...Nurmi was a total ass.

I am also glad this is over...too many people have been hurt by this mess and that witch sits there thinking about no one but herself. I don't think she will get off....maybe that
is wishful thinking. I dunno.....

I'm wondering if the Casey Anthony trial will have any impact on these jurors. I think it might encourage them to hold her accountable for what she did.

I certainly hope so!

[ladyjane]

Based on the questions they submitted, I don't think the jury is going to have a difficult time convicting her. I realize it only takes one, but I think the one will be made to listen to reason by the others. I cannot see anyone using only a fraction of his/her brain not seeing that this was a premeditated murder.

[Nancy1999]

I've heard that the guy that was dismissed (juror number 8) was always taking notes and submitted questions. He impressed people and some thought he's probably make a good foreman. Anyway, he was arrested for DUI last weekend, and all I can say is, poor guy, I don't blame him for wanting to get drunk!

I heard the same things you did on HLN about his persona and note taking but didn't know about the DUI. Wow! Nancy, you are a mine of information!

I wonder if he will come forward and talk after the case goes to the jury or is finally over? I'd like to hear what he's got to say. I'd like to hear what all of them have to say and how they stood it for so long.

My goodness, as long as this trial is going on, it's a wonder one or two people haven't found a lot of excuses to get out of it. That has got to be pretty tough duty to pull, unending proximity to one of the vilest creatures ever to breathe and then having to hear and see all of the bad stuff and all about her neuroses and psychoses and her weird thoughts and ways. I've heard enough to be sick to my stomach and I just watch TV about it and only have seen maybe 2 hours of the trial one day live. And then the behavior of Travis - he's no saint or any woman's answer to the perfect mate but still he didn't deserve anything like all that that woman did to him. There was one picture of his slit throat that they said showed the wound was so deep one could see the internal structures of his neck, including vertebrae, and that it was so graphic, it could not be shown on TV, even with a disclaimer. I would imagine that months of all that stuff finally would work its way into the psyche and wear a person down. I guess that juror just finally lost it. (BTW, drink all you want, buddy, and try to forget all the horror of Arias' handiwork but stay out of the car when you do.)
