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. :p 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?

My point is that social drinkers do not have blackouts. It is common for people with mental disorders abuse alcohol and/or drugs.....I am not saying that she "knows" she has a problem. Just saying that the drinking is but a symptom of an underlying issue...in her case a serious underlying issue.

I don't believe anything she says. And, I don't believe she does not remember.

I just heard on HLN news channel that the prosecutor, Jose Martinez, would have another "go" at Arias. Earlier, I'd thought I had heard that guy that was anchoring say that Martinez would get to question her again. I am so confused! Why have I heard two other times on that same channel that there was no re-cross of a re-direct - the last time by Nancy Grace just yesterday?

Oh, I so hope that that is true and Martinez can have another chance to hone in on all this muck she's piled up on re-cross! I hope I hope I hope. And I hope if he gets that chance, he'll be skillful and make her look like the monster she really can be.

I heard that too, I was wondering if they meant to say, he chose not to redirect after the defense was through? Anyway, I thought someone said, he did have the option to question her again after the jurors questioned things. I look forward to hearing that, I get bored with her attorney's questioning.

I am down today with my hip and watching some of the trial. Her attorney's endless, infinite sex questions to keep her on the stand are killing me. I can only take a little bit of it and have to watch other things, especially when it gets icky. He sure knows to keep away from most everything about this case but the sex. That's all he wants to talk about. Dang, that guy knows how to put you to sleep!

I forgot to mention to you that I clicked on that link about her atty. and was shocked to see that it lead to this starkly simple website of a sex-offender practice, basically! Good grief! It looked like a website thrown together one Saturday afternoon by a bored legal secretary while she was painting her toenails! And this is the guy that is representing you for murder one, Jodi Arias?!?!?!

That's his specialty, defending sexual perverts, and I wonder if he gave Jodi the idea to suggest Travis was a pedophile? Is this the type of lawyer you get when you do the prepaid legal? :p Apparently, Miss Jodi wanted to be her own attorney, and the judge allowed it, but after two days, she decided she needed help. I don’t even think she could convince herself she was telling the truth. I shouldn't laugh, until the verdict is in, I was so shocked by the Anthony trial, I don't think I wanted her to get death, just life without parole, but to walk, that about killed me, and even a lot of jurors said they knew she wasn't innocent, well darn, find something! With Jodi, I feel differently, I think she's a real threat to society, men, women, and children.

No wonder all this guy wants to question her about is all the sex!!! Where is he going asking her about all of her different sexual interactions today? He's lost me? Granted, I can't stay on the channel long enough to pick up on much so I guess that is holding me back but can't see what he's trying to do specifically, if anything, today? Wow, how in the world would you like to make your living defending accused pedophiles and rapists, etc.? That would take a stronger stomach than I've got!

He gives me the creeps, so I didn't watch today, I guess they'll do a recap tonight.
