62 Second Time Frame: Juan Martinez Tells Arias That Her Story is Impossible

Trial resumed today after five days in recess (day 18 of Arias on the stand). Today was a doozy! Between MORE technical glitches in court, and a two hour recess that held up court, the trial felt a bit disjointed today - thanks to Nurmi, who was was annoying as ever, who objected to almost every question that Martinez asked. Far too many sidebars this afternoon!

Arias returned to her usual smug attitude and argued semantics with Martinez: Wahhh, you didn't ask the question "correctly." Wahhh Wahhh!!! She was argumentative and questioned every single word that Martinez uttered to her. Once again, Arias thinks she's the prosecuting attorney.

Arias was all fangs and smirks today - add her fake sad, whiny voice and I was so over listening to her on the stand. Many times throughout the day, her faced turned red. She got pissed off because she didn't have any control as Martinez questioned her and backed her into a corner...all her lies came a-tumblin' down today.

Martinez Breaks Down Arias' Fictitious Story - It's Impossible for Killing to Happen In That Manner
Martinez was on fire again! He tells Arias that there is NO WAY that the killing could have happened as she described it.

The last picture of Travis Alexander alive was 5:31:14 pm. Martinez relays Arias' sequence of events that evening Travis was killed on June 4, 2008:

"You drop the camera ... you are body-slammed, you get away, you go down the hallway, you go in the closet, you get the gun, you go into the bathroom ... You shoot him, he goes down ... and then, after you're able to get away, you go get the knife and you end up at the end of the hallway? All of this in 62 seconds?" Martinez snapped. (Source: CBS News) 

The next photo (the fuzzy photo of Travis that shows Arias' leg) was taken at 5:32:16 pm - 62 seconds. Martinez tells Arias that it was impossible for her scenario to actually happen in just 62 seconds. Once again, Martinez shows that Arias' story makes absolutely no logical sense. Her entire story fell completely apart...in just 62 seconds!!!

What Happened to the Knife? I Don't Remember...Wahhhh...I Don't Know
Arias knows but then she doesn't know the answer...but then she forgets...and then she vaguely remembers. Ridiculous!

"You didn't have the knife in your hand when you shot him," he said. "So that means, if you didn't have the knife in your hand, you had to go get it from somewhere, right?" 

"I don't know," Arias replied.  (Source: CBS News) 

The answer that blew me away was her vague recollection of the knife (well, not really - she's a sociopath so everything that comes out of her lying mouth doesn't make logical sense!). She remembers the knife hitting the floor in the bathroom but then the fog rolls in again. Her stories are beyond illogical and lack common sense!

She tells Martinez that she can't remember if she put the knife in the dishwasher that night or maybe it was another time when she was at Travis' house "doing dishes." Are you kidding me?! How can she NOT remember not putting a bloody knife/murder weapon in the dishwasher versus washing a kitchen knife used for cooking purposes? There goes that fog rolling in again!!

Arias' Foggy Memory: Martinez Becomes Frustrated With Her "Frozen Computer" Answers


Martinez was frustrated with Arias as he unraveled every thread of her bogus story. I don't blame Martinez for getting testy with Arias today. Her answers were vague and aggressive. She deflected every question Martinez threw her way. Martinez asked her follow-up questions about the jury questions - questions she already answered!!! Is she just dumb as a box of rocks or did she actually think her stupid mind game was going to work with Martinez? She's wrangling with the wrong cowboy! She refused to give Martinez a straight answer and Martinez even addressed the judge that she wasn't answering his questions.

My favorite zingers from Martinez's cross-exam today:

"Do you have problems with memory of answers you JUST gave a few days ago?" 

When Arias pulls her "I guess..." answers, Martinez fires back with:

"No! No! No! There is no guessing here now!!!" (Oh SNAP!) 


The Smoking Gun: Oh, But Travis Loaded the Gun in December
She originally told the jury that this alleged gun owned by Travis was UNLOADED.

Martinez read my mind about the unloaded gun - if the gun was unloaded, what threat did an unloaded gun pose to Travis? He asks Arias:

"What did you plan to do? Throw it (the gun) at him!" 

...That's what I'm saying, Martinez!

But then her story suddenly changes AGAIN. She tells Martinez that Travis loaded the gun in December - can you say big, fat lie? This was news to Juan Martinez and to the jury. So what is it? A loaded or unloaded gun?

That Darn Gun Holster!
Then Martinez questions her about the holster - first she says there was a holster and then there wasn't a holster when she pulled it off the closet shelf with just ONE hand...maybe there was a holster, maybe there wasn't, according to Arias. There goes the fog! If she grabbed this alleged gun with only one hand, she would remember a holster because the holster would go along with the gun. Once again, there is no way she could have pulled the gun (with holster) off the shelf in that short period of time.

The Closet Photo: Can You Say Another Lie?
If you look at the closet photo,  it was completely undisturbed - the clothes and shoes were in neat order and nothing looks out of place. There is NO way that she could have run into the closet without messing up the clothes or knocking down a shelf. Martinez blew the closet scenario out of the water as well. Based on the shelving units, they don't look sturdy and wouldn't be able to hold Arias' weight if she leaned on the shelf and reached for a gun (which was allegedly placed on a high shelf).

Nurmi is Desperate & Asks MORE Sex-Related Questions
Nurmi annoyed me with his constant objections today, but I tuned out when Nurmi questioned Arias again. I am not even going to spend a lot of time on his lame questions - more questions about her being a bad/good Mormon, her chastity, sex details blah blah blah.

More Jury Questions
The trial ended with final jury questions - great questions today. My favorite (and a question that's been on my mind as well):

If you still felt  threatened after shooting Travis, why didn't you just shoot him again rather than stab him? 

Exactly...of course, it's all a blur and she blacked out and doesn't remember picking up the knife but she does remember shooting him!

Another lame answer: when asked why she didn't take pictures of her neck to verify proof of abuse, she gave another stupid Law of Attraction excuse again. She said if she actually took pictures, that means the abuse was real. Well, obviously it's NOT real if Arias has zero photos documenting her BS story of abuse!

I hope I have the patience to get through Thursday's testimony...Arias grated on my last nerve with her evasiveness and her rudeness. It's simple - just answer the question either YES or NO! 

Next up..."expert" witnesses will be called to the stand by Nurmi and Martinez. The trial resumes on Thursday at 10:30 AM/1:30 PM EDT. 

Jodi Arias Trial: Worst Defense Ever - Arias Changes Stories...Again

Day #15 - The Worst Day...The Worst Defense 

After watching this debacle of a redirect (more like a lame re-hash) examination by Nurmi today, I came to the conclusion that this is the WORST defense I've witnessed during a criminal trial. Not only is it a slap in the face to Travis' family and friends, but Arias and Nurmi continue to make a mockery out of real domestic violence victims and I'm fed up with her ridiculous, insane lies...and I'm hoping the jurors feel the same way.

Not only is Nurmi's redirect boring and puts me to sleep, but the soap opera "I'm the victim" act is old and no one believes her. Her self-defense sham is crumbling at her feet. Does she honestly think that people actually believe these lies? I think the only one who believes her these days is naive Bryan Carr who swears Mormon intruders killed Travis as a part of a blood atonement ritual. Carr and his scary ilk need to stop drinking the Jodi Arias Kool-Aid and join reality!

Gas Cans...ZZZZZZZzzzz

Why did Nurmi continue to bring up the gas cans? Talk about a snooze-fest. I'm sure the jury caught a quick cat nap while Arias and Nurmi droned on and on about the gas cans. The cell phone records and gas receipts completely contradict Arias' story. To quote Nancy Grace, "She's a big fat liar!" 

New Lie Revealed: The Gun Was In a Holster - Oh, Hello! 
Here's a doozy: Arias claims that the gun was actually in a holster. Say what? Another lie to add to her long list. There is zero logic whatsoever in her gun story. From the pictures of the closet alone, there is no way she could grab Travis' alleged gun off a high shelf, take it out of a holster and then shoot Travis. The last time I checked, Arias wasn't a firearms expert - how could she quickly pull out the gun from a holster? She claims it all happened in a 'split-second' and if that's the case, there is no way she could have done all that and shot Travis in a short amount of time.

Nurmi Thinks He's a Psychiatrist Now
What a huge joke! Nurmi acted like he was a psychiatrist and questioned Jodi about her "condition" regarding her memory issues. It's called acting, Nurmi. Arias remembers every single detail (including every kinky sex position) but conveniently forgets the details of Travis' murder.

Oh boo-hoo, she wants to remember, Nurmi:

"Do you want to remember the events of June 4, 2008?" 

"I feel like I'm the person to sit with those memories I don't have. Because they were my actions and my responsibility." 

The Suicide Story...Again
That was Arias' fake teary-eyed response to Nurmi's questions about her "memory loss." She also had to talk about her biggest broken-record lie of all - how she wanted to kill herself. So why didn't she attempt suicide then? If she was truly sorrowful, hated herself, and didn't want to face her crime, she would have attempted suicide. Another LIE!

Arias Remains Stony-Faced While Detailing Travis' Murder
A victim of REAL domestic abuse would be sobbing and shaking on the stand, but Arias remained stony-faced and showed no emotion as she spewed the same BS story about her alleged abuse. She squeezed out a few tears for dramatic effect near the end of the testimony but it was in her usual fake fashion.

Enough with the Sex, Nurmi 
I've had it with Nurmi going over the sex details again and again AND again! Enough already with the KY discussion. Worst line by Nurmi in the redirect: "He had an all access pass to your body." Gag. She admitted that she liked the kinky sex and she was never forced to have sex by Travis.  End of story - there was no sexual abuse or force!

Whattt!??? Travis Was Planning to Propose Marriage? I Don't Think So!! 
I don't know what planet she was living on but I highly doubt that Travis EVER seriously proposed marriage to her. Talk about delusional! She even admits that he jokingly proposed to her on the phone - another huge lie! Where was the mention in her journal? Uhmmm, another lie to add to her long laundry list of disgusting lies!

Arias Called Out as Hostile Witness
Arias is delusional and pathetic...and oh yeah, she's a sociopathic killer. Arias' defense is shot and filled with huge holes, and Nurmi is grasping at straws. The funniest thing is that even the legal analysts are calling her a "hostile" and ineffective witness - ya think?

Jurors Ask 100 Questions
But my ears perked up when Judge Stephens announced at the end of the day that the jurors have 100 questions to ask...yup, 100, folks! Nurmi and Martinez will review the questions before the trial resumes tomorrow afternoon and will have a chance to object to the questions. I'm sure Nurmi will coach Arias on her answers and Martinez plans to review the questions with Travis' family. I have a strong feeling that the jurors asked excellent questions.

Trial resumes on Wednesday at noon PDT/ 3 pm EDT
