Clang, Clang, Clang: Arias Shackled & Cuffed in Court Room Last Week

Hi Lady Justice Fighters!
I've been battling a bad cold (maybe the aftermath of all the bad ju-ju post-Crybaby's trial?) but wanted to share a brief update about what's going on with Crazy Eye Crybaby, Jodi Scarias!

How many of us were happy to see Ms. Brawler (yup, she got busted for attacking someone in jail- wow, what a shocker!) to see Crybaby in her prison stripes with shackles and handcuffed? No more circa-90s outfits for the Crazy-Eyed Crybaby. I know I was quite happy to see her in prison stripes--it's about damn time!

Unfortunately, everyone is due back in court - of course, another delay as the Crybaby and her defense team tries to buy time - on July 18 to determine if Crazy Eyes will face a new jury in the retrial of the death penalty phase.

Why I Refused to Watch the Lifetime Movie
I know many of you tuned into the Jodi Arias movie, but I personally thought it was a big slap in the face to the Alexander family so I boycotted and refused to watch it. Even if they didn't paint Travis in a bad light, I am tired of this convicted murderer getting MORE publicity and air time.

Her crazy ass is behind bars and whether she does get convicted of the death penalty or not, she is not going anywhere. She will rot behind bars no matter what due to the fact that she is guilty, guilty, guilty (are you listening Kool-Aid drinkers? the guilt factor isn't going away!)

I hope she enjoys her luxurious stay (not!) in the Maricopa County jail locked in a tiny cell, 23 hours a day, by herself. She can keep herself entertained with bad renditions of Christmas carols and Dido songs.

No More Interviews...Wah Wah
The media spotlight faded fast and all eyes are turned to the Trayvon Martin trial on HLN (another very sad case!) and wahhhh, no more interviews for the Crybaby--not anymore (that privilege was yanked when she was thrown in her jail cell for 23 hours a day!) Although, it goes back to what I mentioned above about the Jodi Arias movie. Why give her added publicity she doesn't deserve? She's a cold-blooded murderer. This isn't a soap opera--this is about a young man's life that was brutally taken by a psychotic demon-ess. Lifetime needs to write a big fat check to the Alexander family and stop profiting off Travis' murder. The story is NOT about Jodi Arias--the story is about Travis Alexander and that's the story that needs to be told. I didn't watch it but I heard that they didn't paint Train Wreck in a positive light--duhh, obviously not, but still...why continue to support "her" story and give her added exposure? No thanks, I'll pass on that.

So now it's just a waiting game...stay tuned! We have another month to go to see if there will be a retrial for her death penalty phase. Justice continues to be served for Travis and Juan won't go down without a big fight!!!  My thoughts are with the Alexander Family right now--they continue to relive this nightmare every day (and that dumb movie didn't help either!). I hope they can find some peace in their hearts.

LADY JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED FOR TRAVIS ALEXANDER: Jodi Arias Convicted of 1st Degree Murder

I was in tears as the clerk read the verdict this afternoon. Justice has been served for Travis and his family. I hope Crybaby's words are haunting her: "Mark my words, no jury will convict me!" WRONG, you psychotic murdering lunatic! The U.S. legal system and the people of Arizona have spoken and Lady Justice has finally arrived on Arias' lying, manipulative Crazy Train doorstep!!

I watched as the verdict was read and loved listening to the jurors when they were asked: is this your true verdict? I loved Juror #6's resounding YESSSSSSSSS!!

VERDICT - Count 1 first degree murder - GUILTY - 7 jurors found both premeditated and felony murder

Even though this sentence won't bring Travis Alexander back, justice has been served and the jury came through for the family. A HUGE shout-out and thanks to Mr. Juan Martinez and Detective Flores. Thank you for being the voice of Travis!!! This is why Juan Martinez wins death penalty cases!!!!! It really touched my heart when I watched the family's faces as the verdict was read. JUSTICE has now been served for their brother and friend.

The guilty verdict is such a HUGE relief for the Alexander family and my heart goes out to them and am SO happy for them. I knew in my heart that justice would be served and had a strong feeling that the jury would come through with a Murder 1 verdict.

Tomorrow the death penalty hearing begins and now the jury must decide if aggravation comes into play related to the murder. The next step: will Crybaby get the death penalty or life without parole?  Fingers crossed that she gets the death penalty!

The Alexander Family has also filed a civil wrongful death suit against Arias!

Crybaby's words will haunt her for the rest of her life. "If I killed Travis, I would beg for the death penalty."Will she beg for the death penalty now that she's been FOUND guilty? Shes' going to be begging to spare her life. Her fate is REALLY in the jurors' hands now!

After five years, karma finally caught up with Jodi Arias and his name IS Juan Martinez!!!! Travis' murder has been avenged - now let's get the death  penalty for Crybaby!

My Jodi Arias Jury Analysis: Who Are These 12 Jurors & What Verdict Could They Decide?

Please note: this is NOT based on scientific or market research but just my opinion and speculations. As a marketer and copywriter, I spend a lot of time diving inside people's heads (yes, I know - that can be a scary task!) and I have to figure out what people like, dislike, who they are, their habits, etc. 

Arizona is a Conservative State When It Comes to Criminals
Arizona is a conservative state and they are tough on their criminals. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is one of the toughest out there and he is notorious to running a tight ship in Maricopa County. 

Here's a brief look at some basic demographics of Maricopa County and Arizona residents:

From Maricopa County, Quick Facts Census

Bachelor's degree or higher, percent of persons age 25+   

• 29.1% Maricopa County
• 26.45%  Arizona

Veterans, 2007-2011                                                                       

•  280,092 Maricopa County
•  536,449 Arizona

Based on the age ranges, the majority of the jury are seniors and could be retired so their jury duty might not be considered such a hardship. But I wonder about the younger jurors with jobs and families, and how are they surviving? $12/per day for jury duty is peanuts and if they are the breadwinners/earners for themselves and/or family, jury duty (for this length of time) would be a financial hardship. Also, the average person who has a bachelor's degree or higher is fairly low (well below 50%)--not that it means that people with a high school diploma can't make an informed decision but that's something else to consider. How well do they know and understand Arizona state law and the U.S. legal system? Even with the detailed jury instructions, that's a lot of information to understand! 

There are over 500,000 vets in Arizona and almost 300,000 vets in Maricopa County alone. A military vet is probably going to be more tough on crime--especially a brutal murder -- so if there are any vets on the jury (there might be one possible military vet), that could be another deciding factor as to whether they will be more harsh or lenient.

Political Party Affiliations - Arizona (Source: http://perspectives.thirdway.org/?p=1450)

2012

• Democrat 1,090,136
• Republican 1,229,340
• Independent 1,204,056

There are more Republicans and Independents in Arizona compared to Democrats and Arizona has proven to be a conservative voting state. Based on the age range of these jurors,  this jury could swing towards the more conservative end, especially if they are tough love when it comes to crime and the legal system.

Of course, this is ALL a guessing game on my part but it's interesting to speculate. 
See my profiles/analysis below the  juror descriptions from HLN: 

Juror 1

White Female, in her 60s

Short dark hair, wears glasses

Sat closest to the witness stand

Did not look at Arias during her testimony

Yawned during an emotional part of Arias’ testimony

It's interesting to note that even though she sat closest to the witness stand that she yawned during an emotional part of her testimony (was she bored or just not buying it?)  She also didn't look at Crybaby. I'm guessing that she didn't want to appear biased because she was so close to the witness stand and didn't want to make direct eye contact with the witnesses. She wears glasses so we know she can see properly ha!! 

Based on her age, she could be retired and/or a homemaker/mother/grandmother. Because of her age, she could lean on the more conservative side. It seems based on the general public opinion that women generally do not like Crybaby, BUT if this woman has any feelings of empathy for her, she may not be more lenient. I call this juror an "iffy" juror. If I was that close to the witness stand I would want to watch Crybaby's move when she was testifying. By not looking at Arias, this could mean disinterest or boredom (or she was just tired of listening to her lies!)

Juror 2

White Male, in his 50s

Salt and pepper hair

Took a few notes

Cupped his head in his hand as he listened to testimony

He obviously is interested in the trial if he took notes and based on his body language, he is intent on listening (or he supported his head so he wouldn't nod off to sleep). Based on his age (and dependent upon his career, if he's retired, a homeowner/ taxpayer, etc.), he MIGHT lean towards the conservative side of the law. However, if he has fallen under the Black Widow's spell and has any inkling of empathy, he could also be more lenient in his decision. Of course, this is all a guessing game. Heads--he's a conservative Arizona Republican who believes in the death penalty and is tough on criminals or tails--he believes her BS and feels sorry for her. He is male and she is manipulative so it could go either way. The fact that he is taking notes shows he is interested and paying attention though (and hopefully, he also submitted questions). 

Juror 3

White Female, in her 40s

Brunette with bangs

Took a lot of notes

Watched the prosecutor as he moves about the courtroom

Observed submitting questions

Based on her age, she could be a stay-at-home mom or works full-time, or is both mom and breadwinner OR could be a single career woman. The fact that she took copious notes and looked at Juan Martinez a lot are a good sign. She watched his every move. The fact that submitted questions is another good sign. She wanted answers  and clarification, and obviously was paying attention to the trial and witnesses' testimoy. I wish HLN gave more detail about her reaction when she watched Juan: did she smile? did she frown? did she cross her arms? Her specific body language could give more clues as to how receptive she was to Martinez as he spoke.

She is female, and the fact that she does pay attention to Juan COULD mean she isn't buying Crybaby's lies (especially if she submitted questions and we all know how many questions LaViolette and Dick Samuels received!) I think this juror could lean more towards the pro-death penalty decision. IF she's a mom, that could even push her even closer to the death penalty side. A mom would speculate more - what if this had been my son or daughter who was murdered? Or that's my guess! Also, if she's a career woman (based on her job), she might do analytical work and could have a really sharp mind - why she took a lot of notes and asked the witnesses' questions. I think this juror might be one of the sharper jurors - she doesn't want to miss anything! 

Juror 4

White Male, in his 60s

Bald

Took a few notes

It's hard to say with this man. He's probably retired and wishes he was on the golf course instead of being stuck in a court room listening to a crazy murderess spew her lies! Not a lot to go on with him -- other than he's bald and  takes few notes. It's a good sign that he takes some notes so there is some interest on his part. As mentioned above, there are more Republicans than Democrats in Arizona and he's probably an Arizona taxpayer. He could be pissed off that Crybaby is wasting so much of his time and money. He might not be taking a lot of notes because his mind is already made up or he is not that interested. This one is up in the air for me since I don't have a lot to go on with him.  

Juror 6

White female, in her 60s

Hair is cut short brown with blonde streaks

Was a prolific note taker

Taking lots of notes is a good sign! Based on her age, she falls into the possible retirement bunch. However, I don't know her occupation so it's anyone's guess. She could be retired from a career and/or raised children, is a grandmother, or all of the above. The fact that she took a lot of notes means she's paying attention and she probably isn't buying Crybaby's lies and probably asked juror questions as well. Going back to public opinion: if she does NOT like Arias and doesn't believe her lies, then we could have a 1st degree murder vote with this juror. It all depends on how she feels about Arias. If she is PRO Crybaby and feels sorry for her, then she would obviously vote for a lesser charge. However, based on her note-taking I think this juror might be a hopeful candidate since she took a lot of notes. 

Juror 7

White male, in his 30s

Married

Dark brown hair

Took some notes

He is a nail biter 

I think I'm more scared for this guy, because I bet Crybaby had her eye on him the entire time. Yikes!! He was probably biting his nails because she was giving him the crazy eyes!!

Nail biting shows nervousness or boredom. This juror is on the younger side so he probably works full-time. He is married so he might have kids as well. Based on his age though, it could go either way with his decision --especially since he's male. Even though he's married, he could still fall under her spell OR it could go the other way, and he might think, whew, am I lucky, and poor Travis, wow, this chick is a psycho-- he might feel a lot of empathy for Travis because of the age range similarity. However, if he drinks any of the Crazy Eyes Crybaby Kool-Aid, there is a slight chance that he could go with a more lenient charge. I'm guessing, based on the age range and that he takes a LOT of notes, that he is probably leaning toward death penalty and would be more sympathetic to Travis. Or we can only hope!

Juror 9

White male, in his 60’s

Long white hair is worn in a ponytail

Wore denim most days

Sat at the end of the jury box furthest from the witness

Sat closest to the first row of the gallery where Alexander’s family sits

The long white ponytail means he is probably less conservative (hippie type, maybe?) and probably doesn't have a traditional job and/or is retired from a non-traditional job. The denim comment is interesting. Is or was he a manual laborer like a mechanic, an artist, etc.? Let's hope he's NOT an artist or he might side with crazy doodler! Because he sat so close to the Alexander family, he saw first-hand their emotional reactions during the trial. This could actually be a good thing, especially if he is a father and/or grandfather, and might make him more sympathetic to Travis because he can visually see the reactions of the family. I think his close proximity to the Alexander family must have tugged at his heart strings - I know it would really affect me if I sat that close to his family. However, he sat far away from the witness stand so he might not have caught everything that was said or spaced out during her testimony. I'm guessing if he's the non-traditional, less conservative type, he will go with a lesser charge and is probably not pro death penalty. 

Juror 12

White Male, in his 40’s

Receding brown hair

Favors polo shirts and khakis

Occasionally took notes

Polo shirts and khakis are conservative attire, and this man might have a conservative job based on his age and appearance. He took some notes so that's a good sign that he was paying attention but he is also in the age range that Black Widow likes. I bet she was making crazy eyes with him as well throughout her testimony. However, based on his more conservative appearance, he could be more conservative-minded and lean toward a harsher sentence. It all depends on the fact if he bought Crybaby's lies or not. 

Juror 13

White Male, is late 20s to early 30s

Appears to be the youngest member of the jury

Took only a few notes

Smiled when Martinez asked Arias if she could predict the future

The fact that he smiled when Martinez asked Arias if she could predict the future is a hopeful sign. It means he has a sense of humor and likes Martinez's zingers he hit the witnesses with during the trial. Based on his age and the fact that he likes Martinez (if he continued to smile and look at Martinez throughout the trial and closing arguements), he could be pro-prosecution and might not buy Crybaby's lies - this trial might be really scary for him too. Like whew, I am so glad I NEVER date a crazy because that could have been me. That scare alone might push him into the 1st degree murder decision...as long as he bought the prosecution's closing and thought the defense was full of hot air. He took some notes so it shows he's also listening and paying attention.  

Juror 14

White Male, in his early 60s

Balding, and wears glasses

He swiveled in his chair often

Smokes cigarettes

Did not appear to be take notes

That's good that he swiveled his chair often because it means he was watching and paying attention. Even though he didn't take notes, his chair swiveling means he didn't want to miss the action. Again, he could be retired and could lean towards the conservative side based on Arizona demographics and his age range. But once again, it all comes down to the fact that he's male - does he buy Crybaby's act or not and was she able to manipulate him into believing her BS lies? The non-note taking could mean: he doesn't need to take notes because he has already made up his mind or he has a photographic memory (or he was too lazy to take notes ha!) 

Juror 16

White female, in her 40’s

Dark reddish brown hair with bangs

Wears glasses

Took notes

Swiveled in her chair in direction of Arias during her testimony

Let's just hope her bangs look a LOT better than Crybaby's!  She looked straight at Crybaby - now that is VERY interesting. She is in her 40s, could be married and have kids, and/or be a career woman, etc. The fact that she takes a lot of notes means she probably asked a lot of juror questions too. The fact that she wanted to look at Arias during her testimony means she doesn't have fear and it was like she wasn't afraid to confront her and her crime, in a sense. She probably hung onto every word, and wanted to see all her facial expressions and hand gestures (or checking to see if her finger was really broken). This could be another hot juror and I think this one could lean towards 1st degree murder. Her demographics and the way she reacted toward Crybaby's testimony is EXACTLY what I would do - I would look directly at her while I listened and take tons of notes!!

Juror 18

White Male, in his 70s

Married

Possibly former military

Has a tattoo on right arm above the wrist

Only took a few notes

When a man in his 70s has a tattoo on his right arm that means one thing - military - and I'm guessing he's probably a vet (possibly served in a war). Based on his age and if he's been a long-time Arizona resident (or even if he's a transplant to Arizona and retired there), he's probably conservative and will be pro-death penalty. He's 70 years old and doesn't need to take notes because I bet he has his mind made up already. He is married and might have kids and grandkids so add that to the mix and that would only make him more hardcore when it comes to crime, especially if he's former military. I bet he would be the first one to complain about how much Arizona has wasted hard-earned taxpayer's money on Crybaby and her defense. I bet he hasn't bought one word that's come out of her mouth. It'll be interesting to see if I profiled this particular juror correctly. 

The alternates - a good range/mix with the alternates as well: 

Juror 10

White female, in her 40s

Sat in the second row next to a column

Occasionally took notes

Her Gaze wandered over the gallery during sidebar

That fact that she took notes and her gaze wandered over the gallery shows she's curious and interested. Based on her age, she could be married, with kids, has a career and/or single woman career woman. Once again, it all depends on the fact if she buys Crybaby's lies or not. The fact that she took notes though is good because she's paying attention. 

Juror 15

White male, in his late 60’s/early 70’s

Wears audio-enhancing headsets provided by the court

Took notes

Observed submitting questions

I remember this guy because he couldn't hear during Crybaby's testimony! He probably took notes because he knew he had to really pay attention to overcompensate for his hearing. That's a good sign that he took notes and submitted questions. He is probably not buying what Crybaby said on the stand. 

Juror 17

White Female, in her 30s

Married

Prolific note taker

Appears to suffer from a cold or allergies

Sat in one of the most distant seats from the witness stand

Did not gaze at Arias during her testimony and tended to look straight ahead or down at her notes

Observed submitting questions

Hmmm, she could be a wild card, even with all her note-taking. She's in the same age range as Crybaby but she never looked at her, so she might be disgusted with her or she doesn't want to be seen as biased. Or she could be the non-confrontational type. She is married and might have kids.The fact that she takes a lot of notes is another good sign BUT once again, if she feels any empathy towards her (especially since they are in the same age range and she is female) that would make her lean away from 1st degree murder. But if she submitted a lot of juror questions and is taking notes, she probably has doubts so that's a good sign. Another interesting juror. The fact that she doesn't look at Arias says a lot. Why didn't she want to look at her? Does she make her ill and couldn't stomach looking at a cold-blooded killer? Interesting to ponder! I bet she was allergic to Jodi Arias' defense team - why she was sneezing and sniffling so much ha!! 

It all comes down to the juror's age, life experiences, political viewpoints, religious/spiritual beliefs  -  do they believe another human being should be killed and punished for a violent crime? How do they personally feel about the death penalty, and their views about criminals and the legal system? Are they married? Do they have children or grandchildren? Can they put themselves in the shoes of the Alexander family and feel empathy for Travis and his family?

 Do they have ANY doubts in their minds that Jodi Arias is a cold-blooded murderer? 

For both the male and female jurors: it comes down to WHO do they believe? Do they buy Crybaby's BS that she was abused by Travis and killed in self-defense/heat of passion OR do they believe that she lied and manipulated Travis and that Travis was the REAL victim? 

Forensic evidence doesn't lie so we can only hope that jury takes their time to  pour through the evidence, take their civic duty seriously, and NOT believe her crazy lies. The verdict could happen anytime now, but my prediction is that they will take at least a week to deliberate. WE can only hope that the hammer falls on her and she gets the death penalty but it's anyone's guess at this point!! 

Justice for Travis!!! 

Time to Pay the Piper: Fate of Jodi Arias' Life In Hands of 12 Jurors as Deliberations Begin

I won't waste too much time and energy on Kurt Nurmi, the slug of all slug defense lawyers, today. His closing argument was literally the WORST closing argument in a murder trial in the the history of the U.S. legal system. Yes, that's how bad it was.

Snoozefest of a Closing Argument Filled with Of Course, The Usual Lies & Slanderous BS

Basically, his closing argument was filled with illogical BS and lies - it turned into a game of "Choose Your Own Murder Scenario." Oh yeah, and we can't forget his lame statement of "fear, love, lies and dirty little secrets." He got the LIES part right, but the rest was a big fat joke.

He made up all kinds of craziness that bordered on conspiracy theories (oh yeah, she got those gas cans from a DIFFERENT Walmart that wasn't in Salinas - oh, heck no!). I was waiting to hear about the blood cult Mormons! 

As Juan Martinez pointed out, Nurmi spewed out arguments with NO REAL facts or evidence to support the drivel coming out of his mouth. Of course, he HAD to play the recorded phone sex conversation AGAIN and had to point out that Travis was a pedophile, he called Crybaby bad dirty names, sexually assaulted her, he forced her to have sex when she didn't want to, she was abused, etc. Of course, he dragged Travis' name through the mud and paint Crybaby (who cried more fake tears today) as the perpetual victim/martyr/Madonna/St. Crazy Train. His closing argument should have been called: Nurmi Grasping at Straws. There is no way Nurmi could even come close to the powerhouse known as Juan Martinez - not even in the same league!

Nurmi's House of Cards Come Tumbling Down
But why would we be surprised that Nurmi would end on such a lethargic snoozefest of an anti-climatic note? He tried to get out of defending Crybaby numerous times throughout the trial so he's not really in-it to win-it. He told the jury that either they could believe Martinez's House of Cards or believe the defense aka lies aka conspiracy theories.  Really, Nurmi? You really want to go there when Martinez exposed ALL OF Crybaby's lies yesterday?

I wonder what it feels like to stand up, in a court of law, and have no soul and blatantly lie through your teeth. But then again, Nurmi is used to lying on behalf of his crappy clients since he defends the scum of the Earth--sex offenders and rapists.

But I wasn't worried - the State/Juan Martinez had the last word (yeah, in your face, Crazy Train Defense Team - no last word for you!) and once again, Martinez made a very emphatic point that Travis was "slaughtered" by Jodi Arias. She killed him not only ONCE but three times over. And she not only shot him but she brutally stabbed him in the heart, stabbed him another 28 times and slit his throat. She wanted him dead - there was no doubt about that. And why do we know that? A little thing called proof. More specifically, forensics evidence! 

Jurors Head into Deliberations - Friday Afternoon
Three jurors were taken out of the line-up and they will remain as alternates for the other 12 jurors. Late this afternoon  the 12 jurors went behind closed doors and began deliberations to discuss the fate of Crybaby's life: will she get 1st degree murder (the death penalty)? It could be a long evening for the jurors and they have a big job to do.

Oh, Those Crazy Dagger Stares
I could tell Crazy Eyes Crybaby was in full-blown desperation mode today, especially as she listened to Juan Martinez. In his final closing words, he basically called her a lying, manipulative, calculating, sociopathic, cold-blooded murderess--more or less. She shook her head often in response to Martinez and even mouthed the word "bullsh**". Not very ladylike of Miss Mormon-Soon-to-Be-on-Death-Row. Her entourage made a special appearance - Aunt and Mom were seated, as usual, in the front (aka the Lipless Twins) and her #1 Kool-Aid Drinking Fan, Donavan, was hanging onto every word. Donavan was probably tweeting out hate notes to Martinez on behalf of Crybaby.

It's been a LONG few months. This trial began in January and despite the fervor and media hype surrounding this trial, let's remember the REAL victim - A caring, vibrant man named Travis Alexander. He was a son, a brother, a grandson, a friend, and a mentor. My heart goes out to the Alexander Family. 

Juan Martinez referenced a famous quote by John Donne at the very end of his closing words today. Please reflect upon these words. 

This powerful quotes shows how we are all connected as human beings. It has been argued by scholars that these famous lines by Donne give us a mystical definition of mortality. Donne says that perhaps when "one dies, all of us die a little." 

"Perchance he for whom this bell tolls may be so ill, as that he knows not it tolls for him; and perchance I may think myself so much better than I am, as that they who are about me, and see my state, may have caused it to toll for me, and I know not that."

When Travis Alexander was murdered at the hands of Jodi Arias, there was an absence felt in this world as a result of his death. Even though I never met Travis, I feel the emptiness in our world because he's not in it anymore - especially when I watch his silly, funny videos or look at photos of him laughing, smiling, and goofing around with his friends and family. 

As Juan Martinez said yesterday - these were the most prophetic words that Travis ever spoke:  "You are the worst thing that has ever happened to me." Unfortunately, that statement became a vicious and brutal reality on June 4, 2008. 

May the "light of truth" shine upon the jurors right now as they deliberate the verdict, and may justice prevail for Travis Victor Alexander - a young man whose  beautiful and soulful light was extinguished far too soon. 

May the jurors examine and analyze all the evidence carefully, and realize that they cannot base their verdict on a pack of lies (the defense) but on the "light of the truth" that was brought beaming into the courtroom by Juan Martinez.

I know there will be Justice for Travis very soon!! 

Dr. Geffner Takes Stand: Freebie Defense Expert Witness Spills Water & Burps on Stand...and Gives Worthless Testimony

The Three Ring Circus Defense does it again with their surrebuttal (more like butthead) witness, Dr. Geffner. Between his burping, water spillage, and his overall bumbling foolishness today on the stand, I thought I was watching a re-run of "Hee Haw." Add Dr. Geffner's pornstache (thanks Tammy for pointing that out - a very key element of his testimony!) - can you say one hot mess of a witness?! I knew this witness was going to be a train wreck...but oh me, oh my!!! 

I love how the defense pulled this guy out of their butts only a few weeks ago. Way to plan...and way to be completely desperate! The trial is actually still going on right now but if I wait to write my blog, it'll be midnight. I didn't think there could be a psychologist "expert" witness worse than Alyce in La-La Land, but oh yes, my fine blog readers and justice fighters...there is a witness worst than LaViolette! 

The Reasons Why Dr. Geffner Won't Save Crybaby's Ass 

1. Whiner asks irrelevant questions to test his no-brain knowledge. Ding ding...you lose, Dr. Geffner. No Jeopardy lighting round for you!  Let's just say I know more about the brain (and I'm not Miss Science) than this quackazoid. 

Big shocker! He is not even a medical doctor - sound familiar? Dr. Dick also tried to sound like Mr. Bad Ass when it came to his brain knowledge. Here we go again with the broken record lack of credentials: Geffner has a PhD, is NOT a trained medical doctor, AND is NOT a neurologist or neurosurgeon.

Okay, moving on...

2. Dr. Geffner NEVER interviewed Crybaby. He looked over her tests (aka shuffled papers and pretended to sound smart) and attempted to refute Dr. DeMarte's testimony -- I just heard "blah blah blah blah" after I found out he never interviewed Arias. Really? And WHY should we believe your testimony if you never spoke with Crazy Train Crybaby? 

3. According to the dirt Martinez dug up on Geffner, the judge threw out his testimony in a former court case because he "made it up" and wasn't found credible. Uhmmm okayyy, that works for me!! 

But here's the kicker: he's LaViolette's colleague and wait for it...HE TESTIFIED FOR FREE in this trial!! Either he felt sorry for LaViolette and Crybaby or the defense was beyond desperate or all of the above. 

Personally, I think they asked the Magic 8 for the worst possible, shadiest, incompetent, unethical, moronic "psychologists" they could find in the United States of America. Not to mention, they all want to obviously ruin their careers by selling out to this she-devil and her Dumb and Dumber Team. 

4. He knows jack crap about borderline personality disorder or the brain - read above about his lack of medical skills. He claimed she had anxiety and trauma (ohhh wah, another expert defense witness pandering to her poor Crybaby lies!) but didn't have a personality disorder. Not to mention, let's talk about the lame PDS test again - answers that were based on LIES!!!! 

Gotta love Juan Martinez: "Do you go to the Alyce LaViolette school of...?" Too bad Whiner Willmott objected. Fill in the blank...Mr. Martinez, do you mean the Alyce LaViolette School of Incompetency & Unethical BS where they "edify" ALL is that Jodi Arias (aka The Kool Aid Kids)? 

Oh snappp!!! So dummyhead Geffner..when does an exaggeration become a lie? Guess everyone can exaggerate as much as they want, according to Martinez...oh say, like Crybaby's test results that Geffner supposedly "analyzed"???!!! 

Beth Karas tweeted: "Geffner reviewed 4 psychological tests conducted on Arias and rescored 2 of them. He did not speak to Arias nor did he review the police reports but he did review DeMarte's report."

Notice he did NOT speak to Crybaby. Who cares about rescoring her tests when he NEVER talked to her? And why would you rescore a test that was based on ALL LIES!!???

5. This dude thinks he's a medical examiner and talks about the gunshot wounds like he is an ER doctor and sees them all the time. Uhmm  yeah, he has only testified in two cases that involved projectiles to the brain AND neither person was incapacitated nor did they lose consciousness. Sorry, Geffner, you lose (and Dr. Horn is way hotter than you and your pornstache). Uhmmm, he's not a medical doctor, is not a medical examiner and did not examine Travis' body or his brain. Yeah, smart move defense. Are you kidding me?  Dr. Geffner has lots of medical experience - how about all those autopsy examinations he's never conducted? Good call, Wilmott and Nurmi. 

Not to mention, Dr. Geffner spilled his WATER not once, but twice, on the stand and audibly burped while testifying (maybe he tied one on the night before???!!) 

Your Southern "sir and ma'am" manners and your pornstache ain't winnnin' you any jury fans, bucko!! 

Jurors Ask 21 Questions

The jurors paid attention and asked good questions this afternoon. I would have asked him this question: 

"Do you realize you are in a courtroom testifying in a murder trial and that the year is 2013? Also, why do you sport such an unfashionable pornstache at your age?" 

As usual, Martinez slams Geffner's lack of credibility (and is still slamming him...am listening to the trial as I type). I think he and Dick Samuels both have the "oh let me review my notes because I can't remember anything!!" syndrome. Oh no, not the fog again!! 

I think this was the worst possible move for the defense and once again, more points for Juan Martinez. Geffner's testimony makes Dr. DeMarte look like the Einstein compared to the Defense Crazy Train. I don't see how they thought this was a smart move to put this bumbling fool on the stand. 

Sidebar: Nurmi and Crybaby need to wipe those disrespectful smirks off their faces. Tick, tock. The Crazy Train has left the building!!! Your hours are numbered, Jodi Arias, and this testimony has sunk you even deeper into the Rabbit Hole of Alyce in La-La Land and now Dr. Biggest-Joke-of-a-WitnessEver Geffner!

But then Juan saves the day and puts Dr. "Hotness" Horn back on the stand...woot woot...I'll fill you in tomorrow about his testimony. See, Dr. Geffner, that's what a REAL medical examiner looks like minus pornstache (although, I did like Dr. Horn's facial hair!) And he knows what's talking about because he's a real doctor!!! 

JUSTICE FOR TRAVIS!!! I feel so bad for his family - no family should have to go through this pain and horror. 

PS - A big shout out to my awesome blog supporters and friends  - you know who you are!! Thanks! 

Dr. Horn Testifies Again That Travis Was NOT Shot First & Willmott Is Not a Weapons Expert

It was a short morning in court and Judge Stephens recessed the trial until next Wednesday. Before I dive into Dr. Kevin Horn's testimony  (wow, he's all kinds of hotness--but I digress),  I want to point out that Crybaby was putting on another display of fake boo-hoos (about as fake as her boobage!) for the court room today as crime photos of Travis' body were displayed. Then the melodramatic tears started to fall. YES, YOU did that, Crybaby, so why don't you look up???!!!

As Dr. Horn answered Juan Martinez's question about Travis's brain injuries - once again, we hear that NO, he could NOT have been shot first. He would have been incapacitated and wouldn't have been able to move or stand or reach out or walk the 18 feet down the hallway. No way, no how!

Let's Play a Fun Game - "What's Crybaby Thinking?" 

Here is the internal dialogue that was running through Crazy Train Crybaby's demonic brain this morning. Her fake tears were so RIDICULOUS - she was only crying for herself AGAIN...tick, tock, Crybaby, time is running out for you.

Pan in Crybaby wearing her puke-brown top (she and Jenny were matchy-match with their colors today - GAG).  Poor poor, Jodi Arias. She BOOOHHHOOs and covers her face with her greasy locks and flips her spidery bangs: 

Sniffle sniffle boo hoo. I should have never told the gun/closet story. Goshhhh, Jodi, you are so dumb! Why did you say you shot him FIRST?! I should have been in the FOG when I was stabbing him NOT after I shot him. Stupid stupid stupid! Hmm, maybe I can change my story (lie) again!

Oh I'm so sad!! Wahhhhh!! Dr. Horn is ruining my life. Nooo, you don't know what you're talking about. Boohoo (shoots evil glance at Dr. Horn behind her greasy mane). 

He doesn't know anything!! I'm the SMART one, not him. I could be a doctor. I could, yes I could! Sidebar: even though he's a trained medical doctor and has performed hundreds of autopsies. 

I shot him first. Stop poisoning the jury! I HATE YOU. I want to scribble your face and put horns around your head, DR HORN MUAHHHH!! 

Remember I had that fog and then I don't remember stabbing him and then I found myself in the desert with blood all over my hands...gasp, sniffle, sniffle..deep gulp of air...and then...and then...I got my case of Costco water from the trunk and washed off the blood from my hands. 

Stop talking, Dr. Horn. You are so mean to me. You are ruining my perfect story. No no noooooo!! 

Sniffle sniffle. Ohhh, I'm perking up now. Wahhh, sniffle, fake tear...Crybaby puts hands on her face. 

My Evil Twin Jenny on the Block is now saying that a 25 caliber gun wouldn't have enough velocity to injure Travis' brain. Oh that's good, Jenny, keep going with that story. Yeah, that's it, you tell him, Jenny. Take that, Dr. Horn!!  Even though Jenny doesn't know jack squat about anatomy and physiology, see Dr. Horn, she's SMARTER than YOU!! Yes, that's it, Travis could MOVE and run down the hall. He was able to get up, despite suffering a severe trauma to his brain thanks to the bullet I blasted through his skull, and sprint down the hall - even though medical science proves otherwise. Yeah, good one, Jenny, that's the ticket! 

Jodi daydreams about Whiner Willmott while she cries her fake tears and hides her face behind her hands. Pan in on Crybaby's evil, demonic grin...Poor thing...no scribbling today!  

I heart you, Jennny. You are my hero. I am gonna draw a picture of you this weekend and put pretty pink hearts all over your face, and I will even cover up your nasty bald spot in the picture. It's okay - even if you go bald, I will always love you and whisper sweet nothings into your ear. I don't care if you have an empty brain. I'm all the Einstein you need. I'll even leave my girlfriend for you! I promise to put you in my book and we can run away and have babies together...AND AND...

Okay now back to reality & the trial...

The jurors had only a few questions for Dr. Horn. Another sign that they don't believe the defense or Crybaby's shoddy closet/gun story aka LIE. Juan broke it down for us this morning - thanks to Dr. Horne's return to the stand: no way could Travis have been shot first. He had defense wounds on the back of his hands and thumbs which indicated that there was a struggle. A struggle means his physical body had to move - thus, he wasn't incapacitated and wasn't shot first.

Here are a few of the question asked by the jury - yeah, keep on boo-hoo'ing, Crazy Train Crybaby! 

Why do you believe Alexander was still alive when his throat was slit? 
Dr. Horn said he was still alive at that time, because of the amount of the blood that came out of his wound.

How many times have you seen injuries involving a .25 caliber gun? 
Horn said he has seen wounds from .25 caliber guns about 200 times.


Yes, A .25 Caliber Gun Can CAUSE Severe Brain Damage!

Whiner Willmott attempted to use her big brain to basically tell Dr. Horn that she knew more about medical science then he did (which obviously perturbed Dr. Handsome Horn). Also, the last time I checked a .25 caliber gun can still do a LOT of damage. 

Thanks to Tammy in my Facebook group for pointing out what happened during Reagan's assassination attempt:  a .25 caliber gun was used when Reagan's press secretary, Jim Brady, was shot by John Hinckley. Brady was seriously wounded and suffered severe brain trauma as a result of the shooting and is still in a wheelchair. Willmott tried to impress the jury with her weapons knowledge (NOT!!): according to Whiner, a .25 caliber gun would only cause very minimal brain damage - to the point, that Travis could get up and run away! Yeah, uhmmm, NO!!! So there goes that theory, Jenny!!

In Moment of Desperation, Defense Pulls Dr. Geffner Outta Their Butts

Dumb (Crazy Train Crybaby), Dumber (Jenny on the Block) & Dumbest (Bad Posture/Chair Sloucher Nurmi) better start counting down the minutes...because time is running out for their sorry, sad excuse of a defense. 

Here we go with  have another DUMB ASS psychologist, Dr. Robert Geffner! He will "attempt" (and I use that word loosely) to rebut Dr. DeMarte's testimony that Arias suffers from borderline personality disorder and that Crybaby was not a victim of domestic violence. This guy must not care if his career goes down the toilet. Bye-bye! He only has to look at Alyce in La-La-Land to see what happened to her career after her testimony. I wonder if she has left the country yet?!

Another desperate attempt to save the Crybaby. Yeah, I don't see his testimony working very well. 

Woot woot, the Crazy Train has left the Dummy Head Defense Station!!!!

Stay tuned, folks! We have another week left of this trial - can't wait to hear Juan Martinez's closing argument!

Also, Juror #8 (male) was released today - hmmm, wonder what he did?!!

Hey, Jodi Arias (Donavan, are you reading??!!)...mark MY words...karma is coming your way and it's not gonna be pretty!!

Court resumes next Wednesday!! JUSTICE FOR TRAVIS!!

Star Witness Power by Juan Martinez: Travis' Ex Deanna Reid's Said She Was NEVER Abused

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the entire coverage of the trial today BUT I was able to catch key highlights that proved - AGAIN (can you say broken record???) that Arias has LIED AND LIED...over and over again.

Video Clip Played - Crybaby Boo-Hoos Fake Tears 

Before I dive into Deanna's testimony, I cannot believe Crybaby had the AUDACITY to shed tears when a video clip was played of she and Travis together. This was the PPL video when Arias was lying on Travis' lap acting  uninterested while Travis told his harrowing story about being held up at gun-point. Talk about crazy eyes and FAKE tears! Wow, just wow, this psychopath continues with her dramatic crying ruse. She makes me ILL.

Travis' Ex Deanna Reid Testifies That Travis NEVER Hurt or Hit Her

Talk about a heartbreaking scene: Travis' family was in obvious pain in court today and bawled their eyes out when Deanna talked about Travis' parents and his memories of them. Travis loved his father, despite his dad's drug problem.

So let's break it down in really simple terms...courtesy of DA MAN, Juan Martinez: 

• Did Travis ever abuse or hurt or hit her? NO!!
• Did he ever curse or scream at her? NO!!

Deanna Reid: "He never raised his voice to me."

Conclusion: Crybaby was NEVER abused!! Deanna is the second of Travis' ex-girlfriends to testify that NO, she wasn't abused - physically or emotionally - by Travis. 

Did Travis cry and get really upset when Deanna broke up with him? YES!! This shows his sensitivity and he empathized with Deanna and felt bad for dating her because she wanted to get married and he wasn't ready to get married. He did NOT try to control her or force Deanna to do anything she didn't want to do - he let her go and they broke up  - end of STORY. He didn't raise his voice or  hand at her. According to Deanna, he also never told her who she could be friends with and never forced her to wear "sexy outfits."

Deanna remained classy on the stand as she was asked very pointed and graphic questions by Nurmi (what is up with this douche and his obsession with sex details??? UGH!!) about their sexual relationship. Of course, Nurmi was trying to show that Deanna had a "different" relationship than Arias. Can you say grasping at straws???!!! 

Deanna admitted they were sexually active but had spoken to their bishops to confess that they had broken the laws of chastity. Not to mention, she told Nurmi - in no uncertain terms - that their sex life was their private business and that even Mormons are humans and make mistakes - no doubt! 

She spoke the truth about Travis' character (not to mention, she has Travis' dog, Napoleon--that says a lot about what a good person she is): 

"Reid said she did not continue to have sex with Alexander after they broke-up and he did not try to get her to have sex with him after the split.

"He was always a gentleman. He never pressured me," she said."

Jodi Arias was NOT liking Deanna's testimony at all and Arias gave her the stink eye a few times.

Arias' Lies Come A-Tumblin' Down: Walmart & Tesoro Witnesses Take the Stand

Martinez brought witnesses from Walmart (their asset manager who deals with fraud/theft cases) and IT manager from the gas station chain, Tesoro. The Walmart witness verified that Crybaby lied: no, there was NO receipt proof in their records/system that Arias EVER returned the gas can to the Walmart in Salinas and there was NO refund ever issued. ANOTHER LIE OUTED!!!! 

The Tesoro gas receipts were brought up again by Martinez AND OH MYYYY, ANOTHER LIE. According to Young (the witness), Arias made three fuel transactions at Tesoro in Salt Lake City.

"Nurmi asked the witness if a cash purchase for fuel would have been logged with any identifying information. She said no." 

Latest Charge-o-the-Week: Manslaughter/Heat of Passion 

BOMBSHELL over the weekend: Arias and her defense begs Judge Stephens to replace Murder 1 with manslaughter/heat of passion. I highly doubt Judge Stephens will allow the charge but it's VERY obvious that Arias and the defense are really desperate now!! Yeah, the defense is a little TOO late to change Arias' sob story now - sorry, you can't change your LIES, Crybaby!

"Defense Attorney Kirk Nurmi filed a request on Sunday to add "Manslaughter by Sudden Quarrel" or "Heat of Passion" charges to the jury instructions."
Source: http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/region_phoenix_metro/central_phoenix/Jodi-Arias-trial-Defense-team-asking-judge-to-allow-lesser-charges#ixzz2RKnqZILQ

What a day filled with Martinez's AWESOME witnesses (despite Nurmi's slow-talkin' nonsense!) It was a day that showed the jury - AGAIN - that Arias has repeatedly lied AND the defense knows they don't have a leg to stand on - thus, the defense is begging for manslaughter.

So which is it, Crybaby? Pick-your-own-murder scenario? 

1. Ninja intruders - whoops, that was a big FAT lie!

2. Self-defense/battered woman's syndrome - nope, whoops, our crappy witnesses screwed me and the jury doesn't believe that bogus crap.

3. Voluntary Manslaughter/Heat of Passion - ok, yeah, so now I have changed my story to I was a raging jealous psycho bitch and I lost my sh** and murdered Travis.  Yeah, that's my latest lie.

This is ridiculous and the judge should NOT allow this charge AT ALL. This is NOT manslaughter...NOT self-defense. She deserves the death penalty. She has lied and lied and all roads lead to pre-meditation. She knew exactly what she was doing when she went to Travis' house that night. 

Another Lie Exposed: Forensics Computer Expert Testifies That NO Porn or Child Porn Was Found

Michael Melendez testified that he did NOT FIND ANY porn of naked women/naked breasts OR any kind of child pornography whatsoever on Travis' hard drive files. Oh yeah and Nurmi tried to show that the funny YouTube video on his computer was considered pornographic. I watched the video and the women were CLOTHED and it was funny--two women dancing around with tin foil boxes on their head. 

It was not a porn plus DUHHH Nurmi, you can't post porn on YouTube - what an idiot!! 

Oh SNAP...how's 'dem 'death penalty' apples looking now, Jodi Arias?  We can only hope that the judge doesn't allow the manslaughter charge!!

Court resumes on Wednesday at 1:30 pm MST

Move Along, Jenny on the Block: Jury Asks Expert Witness Dr. DeMarte ONLY 19 Questions

Willmott continued her annoying line of questioning this morning. She attempted to "intimidate" Dr. DeMarte (what a joke!) and tried to pull a Juan Martinez with her barrage of questions. She needs to go back to traffic court. The funniest thing is that she supposedly specializes in teaching other lawyers how to cross-examine witnesses. She is obviously a bad teacher because her whiny attempts to discredit DeMarte didn't work - yeah, okay, move along, Jenny on the (Chopping) Block.

Willmott's contribution to the defense is an absolute joke, and Nurmi just sat there like a bump on a log with his unprofessional slouchy posture...sorry to wake you from your nap, Nurmi! What a disrespectful slug! She is completely out of her league as she tried to mimic Juan Martinez's rapid-fire questioning...talk about a big fail. 

What did we learn from Willmott's sad charade today? 

DeMarte is a professional, credible, and knowledgeable psychologist AND knows how to properly administer psychological testing (unlike Alyce in La-La Land and Dr. Dick). Jenny could talk until she was blue in the face about TS1 vs. TS2 - who cares? DeMarte was able to logically and calmly answer Willmott's questions AND she wasn't rude or combative unlike Dumb and Dumber! Major points to Dr. DeMarte for being a mature, professional adult! Although, I know Dr. DeMarte was secretly thinking: suck it, Jenny! Your witnesses are dunces and I rule the school! 


Fun 'Psychological' Facts of Jodi Arias  by Dr. DeMarte...Courtesy of Juan Martinez


Hey Jenny on the Block, listen to the words comin' outta Dr. DeMarte's mouth: Jodi Arias does NOT HAVE PTSD. She has borderline personality disorder (BPD). According to DeMarte, here are the characteristics that identified Arias as BPD:

• Quick-changing emotions - her emotions were up and down and ranged from happy to sad  in a short amount of time in her journal entries (and throw in her suicidal thoughts)...I love him, I hate him, I love him, I don't want to live, I hate him, I love him, I can't live without him, etc. 

• Tendency to be dramatic - yeah like to the 1000th degree--wahh boohoo, I'm a crybaby, let me conjure up some fake tears...

• Feelings of emptiness - DeMarte said Arias had feelings of emptiness inside her throughout her ENTIRE life (not just after she killed Travis)

• Tendency to feel very angry and upset -- "inappropriate intense anger"--she had a lot of rage going on...to the point of killing Travis and stabbing him 29 times! 

Hmmm, now let's look at her conversion to the Mormon faith (after only two months of meeting Travis). Dr. Demarte pointed this out which indicated "identity disturbance" - oh, look another symptom of borderline personality disorder. Imagine that!


Character assassination doesn't equal abuse: Travis called her names out of frustration and anger, and I tend to agree that there was  truth in his words - I concur that she is an evil devil. Dr. DeMarte talked about the heated conversation, between Alexander and Arias, was a result of the fact that she had crossed boundaries (like stalking and whatnot), and that's why his anger escalated throughout the conversation. That's not abuse - that's just getting pissed off someone who doesn't respect you and invades your personal space and privacy! I would be pissed too! To sum it up: Jodi Arias was NOT abused (how many more times can this be said?!!!) 

And Dr. Dick got his hand slapped again for his crappy testing protocol - according to DeMarte, he should NOT have filled out Arias' PDS answer sheet. Tsk tsk. 

Jurors Ask DeMarte ONLY 19 Questions - Translation: DeMarte is Actually a Credible Witness!

Here is a list of my favorite questions that were asked today by the jury:

Who is at risk for borderline personality disorder? 

• Someone who was exposed to trauma and neglect in their life -  yes, Jodi Arias. Invalidation by parents and family members - yes, Jodi Arias

Do you think her "mark my words" statement and smiling during the interview means she has borderline personality disorder?

• This is an example of her self-esteem and immaturity - this was an immature statement which is consistent with borderline personality disorder - yes, that would be Jodi Arias.

Here's a no-brainer:

If she would throw out a PDS test if the test taker lied and said a bear attacked them instead of a tiger a tiger really attacked them? 

• Dr. DeMarte's answer: yes, she would throw out the results, because it was a different event. 
• Tiger. Bear. Yeah, two different animals. You know... like this possible scenario:...a ninja intruder killed Travis (a lie) vs. Jodi killed Travis (the truth). 

The jurors also asked DeMarte about the camera: 

Do you think trying to delete photos and washing the camera was an attempt to destroy evidence?

• DUHHH!!! YES!!! Of course, she was trying to destroy the evidence. Yeah, there goes the fog theory. Oh, darn that selective amnesia!

Other fun tidbits we learned today from Dr. DeMarte - add these to your notes, jurors:

• Arias got the phone number of a dude she met on the airplane and called him RIGHT after she attended Travis' memorial service - oh yeah, she was really upset and sad about Travis!! 

• She stole an engagement ring from Travis (that he bought for another woman).

Willmott continued to whine and attempt to discredit the validity of DeMarte tests (she got uppity with DeMarte at times, but DeMarte kept her cool!). Martinez asked more questions after the jury questions and he confirmed what we already know: DeMarte is a credible, valid psychologist who knows what she is talking about and Jenny on the Block is NOT Juan Martinez.

My observation of Jodi Arias throughout the day: she constantly looked pissed off as Dr. DeMarte talked. It was fun to watch. It is blatantly obvious that she does not like DeMarte...because she knows she is officially screwed now after this very compelling evidence that blew the lame defense witnesses' credibility outta the water. Oh yeah, and she doesn't like to hear a beautiful, composed, savvy, intelligent woman like Dr. DeMarte check off her laundry list of personality disorder symptoms. The steam was coming out of her ears and I just chuckled as the batshit crazy wheels kept turning inside her head! 

Please note: NOT all people who are diagnosed with personality disorders are violent criminals. Most people with borderline personality disorder are more of a danger to themselves, and are not a danger to society nor do they harm others. 

Court is recessed until next Tuesday!! Justice for Travis Alexander!!
