The trial won't resume until Wednesday, March 13. I watched the CNN special that was televised this weekend and it irks me that the media continues to paint Travis as the cold, calculating abuser - they should spend more time on all the good he did in his life as opposed to painting a negative picture of the victim AND Travis cannot defend himself!
I will continue to blog and update as best as I can as the trial continues this week. These posts are dedicated to Travis and his family. I can only hope that after last week's questions from the jurors that Arias is sunk as her lies were completely unraveled - thanks to the jury and Martinez's hard-hitting questions - like bringing up the gas cans!!
In my Facebook group, we have discussed the following possibilities/scenarios: that somehow Matt McCartney is more involved than he's letting on (with the actual murder) and that Arias has more sketchy skeletons in her crazy closet (perhaps she was aiming for a career in porn?) These are theories and speculation, of course.
Also, what's up with the media calling her a model/photographer? She was NEVER a model -- other than a one-time modeling gig. A man, who was interviewed on HLN, said he hired Arias for a one-time modeling gig but said she was lazy and didn't do what she was supposed to do - so that tells you something right there!
Only time will tell as the clock ticks. What other lies will be exposed? I can't wait for Martinez's closing. We still have yet to hear from the "experts" this week, and who knows what picture they will paint of Arias as the victim. This disgusts me because she mocks real domestic violence victims by all the lies she spews from her lying mouth. Juan Martinez will be able to have his experts weigh in as well and I know Martinez has something big planned - just a feeling and Martinez does not disappoint.
Check out this petition I started last week to ask eBay to stop selling Aria's artwork on their site. The petition has received over 1,500 signatures and is still growing strong. Huge thanks to those who have signed and support the petition.
For all the haters who tweeted negative and disgusting comments about my petition, you can sit there in your ivory towers but I don't see you doing anything to actually fight for justice for victims of crime. If you want something done, then get out there and DO something productive - that's my motto! While I understand that eBay may not take down the artwork until there is a verdict, I'm proving a point with this petition. eBay is taking blood money and she should not be allowed to profit from killing Travis. She said point-blank on the stand that she YES, she shot, stabbed, and slit his throat. How is that "innocent" testimony?

I'll return to my regular trial updates on Wednesday...until then, let's remember what this trial is really all about - seeing justice served for Travis Alexander!!

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:
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

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

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.

Nurmi Say What? Jodi Arias Testimony Falls Flat With Law of Attraction & The Same Fabricated Lies
I couldn't stomach Jodi Arias on the stand today so my blog update will be short but sweet. Nurmi sounded like a broken record. Hey, Nurmi, Ground's Hog Day was LAST month! Same ole, same ole. As Nurmi questioned her today, Arias repeated the SAME lies, and the phone sex tape audio was played again (and the SAME sex details dragged out). She also lied AGAIN about her broken finger, and mentioned she cut it on a glass that morning she murdered Travis. Seriously?!! Enough, already with the fake broken finger! Arias rambled on and on about some nonsense concerning the Universe and Law of Attraction and torn out journal entries.
Arias Finds Her Memory Again
Oh but newsflash, Arias found her memory again while on the stand and remembered details - it's a freakin' Christmas miracle, I tell ya! Martinez got a few digs in and the look on Arias' face was priceless when he railed on her about her journal entries. She looked at Nurmi for help - whoops, she didn't see that coming!
Honestly, the testimony was so boring (or was that Nurmi's voice?) that I wanted to poke my eyes out with a hot fork. Instead, I turned to my fellow Facebook group members who kept me going with their running commentary throughout the day.
The Cosmos Knows Best
When I asked for a wrap-up from Arias' snooze-fest testimony today, snarky group member Ken replied with the following:
Therese Pope I tried to think of something without the cuss words but the
context of your request left me in a fog and is not documented in my journal. I
will have to contact the cosmic waves to determine how to process your
request.
Ken, your comment SAYS it all - I couldn't have summed up Arias' testimony any better!
Nancy Grace was correct though. Nurmi is grasping at straws and it was the worst decision to put Arias on the stand. Juan Martinez, winning...and Nurmi, not so much!

UPDATE Tuesday Afternoon: When Did Jodi Arias Attend Law School? Arias Tries to Take Over Cross-Examination
UPDATE Tuesday Afternoon - Trial Adjourns Early Because Arias Doesn't Want to Answer Questions...aka She Has a "Migraine
Newsflash!!! Wahhh, poor Jodi Arias! She a had migraine this afternoon and forgot to eat her bologna sandwich and whines to Nurmi to get her off the stand. Court is recessed until tomorrow. It's her own fault that she didn't eat...it's called extra strength aspirin! If anything, she gave me a MIGRAINE with her whiny, passive-aggressive tantrums today.
Arias Admits to Liking Kinky Sex & KY Jelly - Who Cares?
The afternoon was filled with more sex, lies, and videotape...of her 48 Hours Interview. The interview clip showed Jodi talking about what a good, kind, and considerate person Travis was (her words, not mine). That doesn't sound like a callous abuser to me! The sex details were just too much and my lunch churned in my stomach as I listened to her afternoon testimony - everything you ever wanted to know about KY Jelly and then some!
Arias Name Drops Married Woman on Stand
Arias acted passive-aggressive, and fought with Martinez throughout the day. She still claims she can't remember anything and dimes out a married woman who supposedly sexually flirted with Travis. Said married woman disses Arias on HLN tonight and calls her out on Arias' lies and cleared her name AND Travis' name.
Stay tuned...Will Martinez go for the jugular and wrap it up tomorrow?
UPDATE Morning Testimony
My head seriously hurts after this morning's cross-examination. I don't know what's going on with Judge Sherry Stephens but she is not doing her job very well. She allowed Arias to have a temper tantrum on the stand while Martinez cross-examined her. She did overrule Nurmi so she was doing something, but she needs to gain better control of her court room and needs to have a chat with Arias about her snarky, disrespectful comments. I hope the jurors are paying close attention to her crazy antics on the stand - she's not winning points with the jury!
Round and Round Arias & Martinez Go
The highlight of the morning is when Arias whines that Martinez is going in circles and tells him "you went off track." Hmm, the last time I checked Arias was NOT the prosecuting attorney - she is on trial not Juan Martinez. My theory is that Arias does not like any man controlling the situation so her sweet and innocent act is cracking wide open now - not to mention all her lies.
It was an annoying morning as Arias continued with her selective amnesia - ughhhh! Martinez asked her about her memory problems and she made a comment about her internal mental problems concerning her memory - that's some telling testimony right there!
Duping Delight is Front & Center with Arias
The condescending smirks showed clear signs of duping delight - when one seeks a thrilling delight in getting away with a lie and pulling the wool over someone else's eyes.
Arias is doing a good job of annoying the jury with the stunts she pulled this morning. I wonder if Nurmi has schooled Arias in courtroom etiquette. That's highly doubtful based on her body language and how she reacted to Martinez this morning. The comments are flying on social media that Martinez is badgering Arias but I think it's the other way around.
Arias clearly thinks she's the prosecuting attorney - how dare Martinez ask her probing questions to expose her lies?
I need to take some aspirin before I dive into this afternoon's testimony...I'm going to need it.

Martinez's Cross Exam: Only Jodi Arias & God Knows...That She's Lying
A big shout-out to my fellow members in my Facebook group! They kept me entertained and updated with their running commentary throughout the trial today. We watched and shared comments as Martinez slogged through Arias' continued pathetic attempt to save herself from the death penalty.
Update from Afternoon Session - Monday, February 25
Arias Can't Outsmart The Prosecution
Martinez continued with his A game this afternoon, but Jodi was starting to show her psychopathic tendencies to the jury and Martinez didn't cut her a break - he piled on the questions and punctuated each question with his signature resounding, Right, ma'am?
He introduced strong evidence in the way of Arias' incriminating 48 Hours interview where she addresses why she smiled in her creepy mug shot. I had not seen this interview so I was blown away by her gall, especially when she jokes in the interview that if Travis had been arrested and in her same predicament, he would smile in his mug shot and think it was funny. Worst line from the interview: "Smile and say cheese!" Ewwww.
The most compelling statement this afternoon from Martinez - after Arias talks about nicking her wrist with a razor and wahhhh, it hurt:
Arias Consoles Travis' Grandma with Flowers
The interview was a huge slap in the face to Travis Alexander's family and it broke my heart to witness her callous, smiling face while she made it sound like she had Travis' best interest at heart, including her eerie description of how she brought Travis' grandma irises to console her because Travis liked the name Iris - if they were to have a girl. She explained that she and Travis had discussed baby names they liked, because some day they were going to have kids.
Take it one step further: after she kills Travis and pretends she doesn't know he is dead, she tells an acquaintance that her kids and Jodi and Travis' future kids could play together at the park some day. That's just creeeepyyyyyy AND sick!
Not to make light of the the trial, but Arias had many laughable quotes today and I could feel her cold, calculating deceit oozing from her soulless eyes and "soft killer voice."
Can You Say Sybil?
Here's a sampling of Arias' answers from today's testimony. One of my Facebook group member referred to her outrageous behavior on the stand as Sybil-esque: that's the understatement of the century!
Arias was spewing her usual bizarre illogical answers and she threw in her "I don't know, I don't recall and I can't remember" whenever she lapsed back into her amnesia. She really could give a soap opera actress a run for her money with the "fuzzy memory" story line.
49 Hours Tape Exposes Pack of Lies
The evidence that Martinez presented today clearly shows that her soap opera act won't land her a leading movie role anytime soon (can you say bad actress?) Her 48 Hours and Inside Edition interviews were just a public smokescreen to cover up the fact that she needed an alibi and what better to do that than to go on TV! What a concept! She didn't want anyone to know she killed Travis so she spun a big fat lie to the media and even lied to Travis' poor grandma. What kind of horrible person does that? Obviously, one bad dye job blonde named Jodi Arias.

She didn't want anyone to know she killed Travis so she spun a big fat lie to the media and even lied to Travis' poor grandma. What kind of horrible person does that? Obviously, one bad dye job blonde named Jodi Arias.
Zingers from today's testimony:
- When Martinez asks Arias what was going through her mind after she was arrested for Alexander's murder in July 2008, she responds: only God knows that. Martinez fires back with: "God is not here. We can't subpoena him." Oh snap, Martinez!
- Jodi was extra whiny and annoying this afternoon. Her sociopathic veneer slowly cracked as she huffed to Martinez: "You are overtalking me! I told you what I know!" Rrhhhh, there goes the claws! Her waterworks were on this afternoon and I wasn't buying any of her tears.
- Arias proves once again that she has selective amnesia when it comes to details and she has to rely on other people to jog her feeble memory: "I was not on the stand 8 days, it was 9 - someone told me."
My Favorite Highlight
Martinez submits another one of Arias' journal entries as evidence - another good call! There is NO written mention of abuse whatsoever and Martinez points out that Jodi loves Travis' lip which she gushes about in her journal and also calls him sweetie and baby in text messages and journal entry, but hey, where's the proof, Arias? She loves his lip but not his "backhand," according to Martinez and asks her:
- Did she see a doctor?
- Was there a medical report?
- Did she call the police and report the abuse?
- Photographs of bruises or cuts (the broken/cut finger lie was blown out of the water AGAIN!)?
- Written documentation in her journal or ANY written proof for that matter?
It was a big resounding NO straight from Arias' lips!! She flubbed around for answers - making excuses that she couldn't write about it and didn't want anyone to know. If I was dating someone who beat me, I would be calling the cops or taking pictures and/or writing the details in my journal - in case anything happened to me!
But she does claim she had a cell phone conversation supposedly with shady ex-boyfriend Matt McCartney - who has already been called out for his lies- and tells him about the bruises. But did McCartney actually see her physical bruises? Arias replies with a weak no. The proof is in the pudding and Jodi doesn't have any, according to Martinez.
Martinez proved today that he's not messing around and Arias better quickly drop that snark and start showing more respect. She is beyond disrespectful to Travis' family and Martinez with her rude comments and haughty attitude when answering Martinez's questions: a tell-tale sign of a sociopath. Martinez showed the jury and audience members today exactly why he is one of the toughest prosecuting attorneys in Arizona, and Arias better remember that before she gets too big for her britches.
Arias' cross-examination continues on Tuesday morning. The trial resumes 9:30 PDT / 12:30 EDT.
The Oscar Goes To...Jodi Arias - Worst Actress in a Dramatic Role - Live Blog Update
I was going to wait until the end of the day to post my summary of today's cross-examination of Jodi Arias by Juan Martinez, but after the post-Oscars hoopla from last night, I couldn't resist the Oscars dig on Arias.
February 25, 2013
Monday morning's testimony - summary of Jodi Arias' weepy whine-fest:
Juan Martinez brought his A game and then some. He railed into Arias and peppered her with questions that clearly tripped her up and brought on the waterworks (see title of today's blog!) Her acting is for the birds and it's growing tiresome. She continues to lie and whine about her selective amnesia.
Her speech in this morning's testimony consisted of the following: "I don't know, I can't remember, I don't recall" and Martinez did an awesome job of showing the jury why he is one of Arizona's toughest prosecuting attorneys (he already has a female death penalty case under his belt - and he won!)
The broken finger conversation came up again this morning , and her answers to Martinez's questions were laughable. Arias couldn't get her stories straight - it was the right hand, no, it was the left hand...wait, she doesn't remember, did she cut her hand? Break her finger? Huh, who's on first?
Her snarky, smug facial expressions soon turned to weepy actress, and as one fellow Facebook group member pointed out, Arias brought on her soft "killer" voice (thanks Mike!) It's like watching the worst soap opera actress in the worst soap opera that was ever made. Like nails on a chalkboard - ouch, my ears!
My favorite highlight was when the make-believe Margaritaville was brought up again - her fake place of employment that never existed. She told Ryans Burns that she worked there and Arias insists she never told Burns the name of the restaurant. Uhm, okay! She consistently lied or played her "I have a bad memory" card throughout her testimony on Monday morning.
Then she decided she was going to prove that she is not a promiscuous woman (sorry, too late!) by throwing poor Ryan Burns, Arias' ex-whatever-he-was, under the bus. She stated to Martinez that there was no passionate kissing or grinding involved in their Utah tryst post-killing Travis Alexander. I highly doubt Burns would perjure himself on the stand and I feel bad for him. I bet he thanks his lucky stars every day that he didn't seriously date Arias, especially after the stunt she pulled this morning.
The afternoon's testimony should prove interesting. Martinez's strategy is spot-on and he is pulling a lot out of her , and will hopefully break her down even more. News flash Jodi Arias, you'd better put on your big girl panties because you're going to be in a for a wild ride this week and his name is Juan Martinez! Sorry, Jodi, no Academy Award for you anytime soon!
Please feel free to leave comments and weigh in about the trial and the cross-exam by Martinez. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions - just keep them G-rated please!
Is Jodi finally breaking or just more tricks up her sociopathic sleeve? Stay tuned for Part 2 of today's testimony. I'll share more thoughts tonight!

Monday morning's testimony - summary of Jodi Arias' weepy whine-fest:
Juan Martinez brought his A game and then some. He railed into Arias and peppered her with questions that clearly tripped her up and brought on the waterworks (see title of today's blog!) Her acting is for the birds and it's growing tiresome. She continues to lie and whine about her selective amnesia.
Her speech in this morning's testimony consisted of the following: "I don't know, I can't remember, I don't recall" and Martinez did an awesome job of showing the jury why he is one of Arizona's toughest prosecuting attorneys (he already has a female death penalty case under his belt - and he won!)
The broken finger conversation came up again this morning , and her answers to Martinez's questions were laughable. Arias couldn't get her stories straight - it was the right hand, no, it was the left hand...wait, she doesn't remember, did she cut her hand? Break her finger? Huh, who's on first?
Her snarky, smug facial expressions soon turned to weepy actress, and as one fellow Facebook group member pointed out, Arias brought on her soft "killer" voice (thanks Mike!) It's like watching the worst soap opera actress in the worst soap opera that was ever made. Like nails on a chalkboard - ouch, my ears!
My favorite highlight was when the make-believe Margaritaville was brought up again - her fake place of employment that never existed. She told Ryans Burns that she worked there and Arias insists she never told Burns the name of the restaurant. Uhm, okay! She consistently lied or played her "I have a bad memory" card throughout her testimony on Monday morning.
Then she decided she was going to prove that she is not a promiscuous woman (sorry, too late!) by throwing poor Ryan Burns, Arias' ex-whatever-he-was, under the bus. She stated to Martinez that there was no passionate kissing or grinding involved in their Utah tryst post-killing Travis Alexander. I highly doubt Burns would perjure himself on the stand and I feel bad for him. I bet he thanks his lucky stars every day that he didn't seriously date Arias, especially after the stunt she pulled this morning.
