CRYBABY UPDATE...here we freakin' go again!!!
In their usual "we can't get our shit together" fashion, the defense whined to Judge Stephens and she is giving the attorneys additional time to file motions. This morning's hearing lasted less than an hour. No cameras were allowed--too bad because I wanted to see Crybaby in her lovely prison stripes sporting her shackles! I'm guessing that she had heavily armed guards by her side in case someone tried to take her out. Now that wouldn't be a big shocker.
"Arias was escorted into the courtroom, wearing shackles and dressed in striped jail clothes, by three heavily armed deputies, one carrying a shotgun." (Source: CBS News)
So here's the scoop on this morning's hearing:
Judge Stephens gave the whiner defense team (Willmot and Nurmi) until August 5 to file their motions to support their arguments. I'd like to know WHAT arguments--that Crybaby doesn't deserve the death penalty because she feels remorse? Like that's ever going to happen!!! Crazy Eyes has never showed one iota of remorse for the brutal murder of Travis Alexander! She set another conference status for August 26.
Of course, Judge Stephens is going the wussy route and won't set a "firm retrial date" for the death penalty because too many factors are involved. Uhmmm you mean, like Crybaby has already been convicted of pre-meditated murder 1 and deserves the death penalty?
Who knows what's going to play out in September? Juan Martinez is still going after the death penalty but the State also made this statement:
"Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery has said the state is still preparing to seek the death penalty again for Arias, but would consider resolving the case without another trial after consultation with the victim's family and defense lawyers, among other things." (CBS News)
Either way, Jodi Arias is looking at a long time behind bars in her prison stripes in her small jail cell where she resides 23 hours a day.
Justice for Travis--my heart is with to the Alexander Family. Enough is enough!

More Craziness in Jodi Arias Trial: Dumb and Dumber, Nurmi & Willmott, Want to Throw Out "Extreme Cruelty" Ruling
Why am I NOT surprised? Crazy Eyes is probably throwing tantrums in her cell and demanding that Nurmi and Wilmott try every last trick in the book to get the extreme cruelty ruling thrown out. Because you know, she thinks she's a lawyer and knows more than her defense team.
In case you missed the memo, here is the latest, straight from the Dum-fense:
"Given the apparent difficulties that judges faced (prior to the ruling) in applying the statute in a uniform, consistent manner, juries are understandably even less equipped to do so," defense attorney Kirk Nurmi wrote in the motion filed late last week." (Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/27/jodi-arias-death-penalty_n_3508995.html)
Bring on the Train Wreck & Her Three-Ring Circus Defense...Here We Go Again!
You have got to be kidding me!! Isn't that the point of a JURY - that's THEIR job to decide whether extreme cruelty was used. Guess what, Nurmi, it was already decided!! This is utter nonsense. The last jury ruled extreme cruelty--there are no "do-overs." DUHHH!!! What do they think? That everyone, including the judge, will be totally clueless and not listen or pay attention to the evidence. You know, like the forensics evidence of the grisly murder scene. Yeah let's just ignore the "extreme cruelty" facts: she stabbed Travis 29 times, slit his throat from ear to ear, and shot him. Actually, that is BEYOND extreme cruelty--that is pure heinous brutality spawned from She-Devil herself.
"Oh well, as jurors we'll let you slide on the "extreme cruelty" part," said no jury EVER to Jodi Scarias. This isn't a matter of splitting hairs based on semantics in a statute. There is NO doubt or question that extreme cruelty was used -- forensics evidence does not lie. And it hasn't lied throughout the entire trial--unlike Jodi Scarias--queen of all pathological liars.
Yes, I know it's Nurmi's "job" to defend her. I use the word "job" loosely when it comes to her defense because he obviously didn't care about her throughout the trial when he sat slouched in his chair digging for gold and looking bored.
But once again, this is ANOTHER lame, last-ditch attempt to try and save her from the death penalty before her July 18 hearing. Although, I thought he and Whiner Wilmott planned to ditch Train Wreck - guess they are singin' a different dum-fense tune now. Or she's stamping her feet and threatening to pull a crazy again if they don't do what she says. Not to mention, she's probably pissed off because she can't give anymore TV interviews so she can spew more lies about the trial and Travis -- wahh wahhh, cry me a freakin' river!
We don't want her stalling or pulling any of her manipulative tricks. Although, I wouldn't put it past her to pull a fast one on July 17 to get her out of the hearing. Maricopa County, just keep her in her stinky jail cell for 23 hours where she can rot and fester until next month. Have fun wearing those prison stripes--I bet a nice cold Starbucks frapp would taste really good right now, Cry baby...awwww too bad you can't have one.
Hey Nurmi and Wilmott, I have ONE word for you and your ludicrous BS motion: DENIED!!!
Justice for Travis!!!!! Juan is not going to take this lightly!

Juan Martinez Shines Light of Truth on Arias' Huge Laundry List of Lies - Can You Say Buh-Bye, Maniacal Murderess??
I dedicate this post tonight to Travis and his family - may justice prevail! :)
Juan Martinez made courtroom history in his closing argument today and he pulled NO punches. Whiny Willmott looked like death warmed over and Arias looked sedated (can you say Valium?) as her head bobbed and she gave her usual lame boo-hoo fake tears performance. She also threw her crazy dagger eyes at Martinez throughout the day. Not to mention her inappropriate laughing and head shaking today. I agree with Dr. Drew--I think she was on some heavy meds (so she didn't lose her sh** in court today!)
So kick back and relax...this might take you awhile to read - today was a BIG day and I want to do Juan Martinez's closing argument justice!!
Hey CryBaby Crazy Eyes Jodi Arias, you faced YOUR KARMA today and his name is Juan Martinez. My heart goes out to the Alexander family, and it was emotional to watch them sob as Martinez wove his story of the lying murderess, the day of the murder, and detailed every single lie that Crybaby has ever uttered in this case.
I'm still in awe of Juan Martinez's rock star performance! I have NEVER witnessed such a brilliant, eloquent closing argument by a criminal prosecuting attorney. I plan to write a letter to Martinez after the trial is over because I want to thank him for standing up for ALL victims of violent crimes. He WAS the voice of Travis Alexander and Travis' family and friends in the courtroom today.
And if you weren't convinced of Martinez's kick-ass legal smarts before today, today should have indefinitely changed your mind. And if any jurors are on the fence, his closing argument sealed Jodi Arias' fate...hopefully, her fate comes in the form of LETHAL INJECTION.
Zingers & Highlights of Martinez's Rock Star Court Performance
I was riveted as I watched and listened to Martinez today, and took copious notes for my blog tonight. I can't possibly write about EVERYTHING that Martinez said today but here are the highlights and zingers that stood out. I can understand why Martinez has won death penalty cases. He is a phenomenal prosecutor, and showed NO mercy. He was calm, organized, and logical. There were many times I snickered because Martinez infused his argument with lots of sarcastic zingers against Crazy Eyes Crybaby and her ludicrous, nonsensical lies.
The Many Faces of The Attention Whore
He started off with a bang by telling the jury that Crybaby has been an attention whore from the very beginning, including writing a Manifesto because she "thinks" she's going to be famous (yeah, another one of her MANY delusions!) She craved the limelight and brings up her TV interviews when she lied about the ninja intruders and how "no jury would ever convict her!" because she claimed innocence. How's that working for you, Crybaby?
He talked about shining the "light of truth" (I LOVED that analogy) on her and exposing her BS lies. He pointed out how she manipulates and lies to everyone, including the jury!
How Do I Love Thee, Let me Count the Lies!!!
I absolutely loved Martinez's sarcastic "spin" on Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem: "How do I love thee? Let me count the lies!"
Oh snap!! Let's count all the lies that Martinez brought up today and there were PLENTY. Martinez did an AMAZING job of weaving all her lies into a twisted, sordid tale that eerily sounded like the worst horror film you have ever watched. She is HORRIFIC! She is spawned from Satan and Martinez painted a very accurate picture of her lying, manipulative, narcissistic ways today in court as he recapped every single lie that she spewed from the stand.
And yeah, like I just kept pressing backspace on Bobby's computer...
It was NOT Crybaby's fault that computers haven't improved since the 90s and that she kept hitting the backspace button (gosh, I hate it when that happens!) and no, it wasn't her fault that she read her ex-boyfriend's Bobby Juarez's emails.
Sidebar: Martinez's got in his sarcastic jabs when he repeatedly said: "It's NOT HER FAULT!!" And it wasn't her fault that she lived with Juarez and never admitted that the REAL reason she lived with Juarez was so she could skip school (I bet she blames Juarez for the fact that she was a high-school drop out...because you know, it's everyone else's fault and NOT HER FAULT). Crybaby loves the blame game and likes to play the victim, according to Martinez.
BooHoo She Only Cries For Herself
Martinez also called her on the carpet with her fake Crybaby tears and said she is a manipulative liar who shows no remorse and she only cries for herself on the stand - oh SNAPPPPP!! She is crying because her days are numbered!!!
Here's a recap of Crazy Eyes' Big Ass List of LIES
Feb. 14, 2007 -- Violent Tendencies Day aka Valentine's Day
Here comes the fake "unholy" underwear...you know, the ones that never existed. Martinez dimed her out and said she NEVER received a Valentine's Day package with chocolates and the underwear from Travis because a) the package never existed and it was b) NEVER delivered! The package could never be verified. Funny how she "threw away" the underwear but how ironic that she took pictures of the underwear for proof.
Fast forward...if she and Travis were SO happy together, then why did she have backspace button trigger happy disease and went into Travis' computer. Then she freaks because she finds out he actually spent New Year's Eve with OTHER people...ohhh no, how dare he be happy and how dare he have social contact with both men and women and communicate with them via email!!! And she also just happened to find his phone and go through his text messages and invades his privacy. Sure, no big deal!! Everyone does that...uh huhhh.
Another zinger from Juan Martinez that I loved, loved, LOVED! "Take your pick with her stories." Exactly - jurors, it's like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure story (remember those from the 80s?) Take your pick with all her elaborate, ornate lies that are filled with crazy, chaotic details!!
Can You Say STALKER...?
I was literally cheering out loud when Martinez brought up her crazy stalker behavior.
Hey jurors, here's a date you don't want to forget:
August 2007- Peeping Tom Incident
Martinez details how Crybaby goes to his house...and remember they are NOT dating anymore at this point...and in the light of the TV (he uses his light of truth analogy again - oh so perfect!!), she spies on him through the window. The LIGHT OF TRUTH is that Crybaby showed stalking behavior despite what Ms. Apologist LaViolette said on the stand. Because ya know, jurors, that's just what people do, according to LaViolette. So she spots Travis kissing another woman---GASP!!---and I love what Martinez says next:
SO WHAT???!!
Exactly...who cares? Crybaby and Travis weren't together anymore. He was IN HIS HOUSE, in the privacy of his own home, and was having a romantic evening with another woman. She stood by the door and watched him for about 35 seconds. Juan must have read my mind when he said:
WHO DOES THAT?
Oh SNAP!!! Exactly! Crybaby's whiny response to that incident....but but but, he unhooked her bra WAH!! And boohoo, we were still 'courting' (uhmmm Crazy Eyes, that's NOT what you were doing!) and still having sex.
Martinez asks: was she his Mormon conscience and why did SHE care?
KaBOOM!
But you know it was NOT her fault, said Martinez sarcastically. She wanted an "explanation." Because you know, she deserved it. Yeah Crazy Eyes, what POSSIBLE explanation could you want or deserve if you and Travis were NOT dating anymore? Stalker Bunny Boiler!!!
Martinez Turns the Tables on The Law aka LIE of Attraction
I'm a positive person and I think that what you put out into the Universe is what you'll get back in return, however, this craziness with the Law aka Lie of Attraction throughout the trial is just ludicrous.
So Martinez points out, according to Crybaby, because she was following the Law of Attraction she couldn't write anything bad in her journal. Basically, she was lying about everything that happened in her journal because she couldn't tell the truth based on the Law of Attraction - because if she writes down bad things, bad things will happen to her. Yup, she was making everything up in her journal.
For example, she never wrote about the 911 call that supposedly happened with Juarez, no documentation of medical reports or her abuse. So guess what folks? It NEVER happened!
March 2008 - In her journal entry she never mentions that Travis hit her--on the same day she moves back to California. Instead, she wrote: "He kissed me tenderly and gave me three kisses." Here comes the snark again from Martinez (loved it!) - there goes the abuse theory!
Is that what she means by domestic violence? Because she was kissed so tenderly and lovingly?
But wait...no, that apologist LaViolette said look behind the words of her diary because her words don't mean that--don't you know she was abused??? It says so! Cuz she's following that darn Law/Lie of Attraction!
Then there was her Jan. 22nd claim that Travis hit her yet she writes that "nothing happened" in her Jan. 23rd journal entry - yup, no corrobation of abuse. LIE EXPOSED!!
She couldn't even keep her stories straight - she goes from 20 incidents of "domestic violence" to only four. According to Martinez, she was building her case for PSTD...oh SNAP...again!
Oh, No, Those Pesky Gas Cans - Crybaby's #100 Lie Exposed
Well, maybe it wasn't her 100th lie but close enough. I won't go through the gas can BS lies again but Martinez talked about the receipts and how Crybaby never returned the gas cans to Walmart (and how there was proof per Amanda Webb), and how Arias lied about the Priceline rental car based on her Washington Mutual bank statement.
Another zinger by Martinez: I guess Washington Mutual made it up and subscribes to the Law of Attraction!!!
And the Lies Keep A-Rolling Along...
May 10, 2008 - Infamous recorded phone sex conversation - but wahhhh, Travis knew he was being recorded. "He told me to record it!" OH HECK NO!! Check - Juan nails her on that one too. Travis NEVER knew his private conversation was being recorded! KABOOM!
May 26, 2008 - The day they break up! Martinez brings up a VERY important conversation on the 19th between Travis and his friend, Reagan. He tells her that he was "extremely" afraid because of Crybaby's stalking behavior.
Let's break down the conversation - we know they broke up that and some bad crap went down. I have my own theories (I think she tried to blackmail him with the pregnancy/miscarriage BS lie but I'll save that for another time).
Martinez even points that Travis is even derogatory about himself and his anger is a result of the fact that he is afraid of her crazy stalking behavior...but these are the MOST dramatic words that come directly from Travis during that online conversation.
This is when Martinez drives it home:
Travis tells Crybaby: "I was nothing more than a dildo with a heartbeat to you." Translation: Crybaby was manipulative and that whenever she wanted him, she manipulated him through sex. Uhmmm, very true words!
And you could hear a pin drop when Martinez read Travis' reply to Crybaby...and repeated it a few times so the jury didn't miss it:
Martinez says, "No one can dispute that those are the truest words spoken by Mr. Alexander." I agree! Travis goes on to call her a sociopath and a litany of other VERY truthful statements about her psychotic behavior--compared her to Hitler, etc. Whatever Crazy Train did to Travis he was finished with her lying ass and didn't want to see her again- she was Bad News Bears and then some.
The Hoard of Skaters in Pasadena
Martinez weaves a perfectly linear story of pre-meditation - how she planned her trip to Mesa, how she knew that she couldn't be noticed or seen by anyone and told Rental Car Dude she was taking the rental wheels out for a spin around town. Say what? More planning: borrowed gas cans from her ex-boyfriend, Darryl Brewer, rents car in Redding, and even changes her blonde hair and dyes it dark brown.
But the BEST(and snarkiest) part of the story was the ludicrous tale of the skateboarders in Pasadena - as told by Martinez. How can we forget that a hoard of scary-looking skateboarding punks, with screwdrivers, who must have messed around with her license plate? Because you know skateboarders go around stealing license plates all the time and carry screwdrivers with them. And yeah, Crybaby just happened to pick up a license plate off the ground near her car and throw it in the back of her
The only reason she comes up with that crock-o-crap story is that she gets pulled over by Utah cops because she didn't have a front license plate. Oh wow, look, she didn't even know that was her license plate (because she couldn't see it because she wasn't wearing glasses at the time) and voila, it magically is the SAME rental car license plate. Lie, lie, lie!!
The Ornate Lies of Crazy Eyes
There was a laundry list of lies that Martinez ticked off as the day progressed...the many stories of the broken finger...was it Margaritaville? Was it Casa Ramos? Oh wait, it was that time she was at Travis' house and cut her finger on a broken glass. As Martinez said to the jury - folks, take your pick of stories!
And of course EVERYONE but Crybaby is full of crap...including her Utah paramour, Ryan Burns. Why would this dude lie about what they did in Utah? Unlike Arias, he actually took his oath seriously and told the truth and nothing but the truth so help him God.
I loved that Martinez called her an ORNATE, sophisticated liar (I think she is a dumb ass liar but that's just me) - but it was a perfect description of all the crazy lies she has told -- with fanciful, melodramatic details thrown in for the full Technicolor effect. There was the "I hope our kids play together" lie...that was a crazy one that she told after she killed Travis. She talks to Travis' bishop AFTER she murders Travis. She has to put that extra Crazy Train spin on every piece of crap that spews from her she-devilish mouth.
The Fog Rolls In
Another favorite of the day is when Martinez talks about Crybaby's "incredible memory." The quality of her memory is incredible unless it hurts her AND that's when the fog conveniently rolls in i.e the PTSD BS. Oh, yeah, and the fog rolls in when someone raises their voice at her - you know like, Travis or Juan Martinez.
And Juan asks the jury a very serious question: "How can you know that ANYTHING that she says is the truth?" based on her web of lies that she has spun. He tells the jury that they have been manipulated by her - as she sat there on the stand smirking and snapping!
The Road to Death Row: 1st Degree Murder & Pre-Meditation
Martinez went through the jury instructions - step-by-step - explaining why Crybaby should be convicted of 1st degree murder: No doubt she is guilty of killing Travis but what about pre-meditation and intent? Martinez said that she had intention and acted with pre-meditation (along with all her careful planning for her Mesa trip).
She Made Sure Travis Was Dead
Martinez also pointed out that a pre-meditated crime/murder does not need to be planned out months, weeks, or even days in advance. It could take place in mere minutes. She had time to reflect on the decision to kill him and that's what she did. And she did it three times. Did she just shoot him and run out of the house? Nope, after she stabbed him in the shower, she chased him down the hallway, and then went for his throat. And to make sure he was really dead, she shot him. She killed him three different times/different ways: she slit his throat, stabbed him in the heart (along with the other 28 stab wounds) and shot him in the face. That's NOT self-defense.
And riddle me this...Martinez also points out her bizarre behavior when she is interrogated after her arrest: WHY did she want to see the photos of the crime scene, and literally begged Detective Flores to show her Travis' autopsy photos? "I have a morbid curiosity!" Remember that eerie statement? Can you say PRE-MEDITATION?
The Gun Burglar
Even if she DID use Travis' alleged gun (which Martinez pointed out that she stole the gun from her grandparents' house and it wasn't Travis' gun she used to shoot him)...this was brilliant...but then it's still pre-meditation. She committed a burglary because she stole Travis' gun from his house. Another "oh snap!" moment.
The Heat of Passion/Manslaughter Charge Goes Down in Flames
Martinez pointed out based on the crime scene photos: did Travis look like he was ready to fight? (as he is crouched down in the shower). Why was Crybaby clothed? Why is the gun with her? So why did the shooting occur in the closet when she said she shot him while he was in the shower? The stories don't even match up! She even told LaViolette that Arias told her she shot him in the closet and LaViolette confirmed that during her testimony. There goes the Heat of Passion bogus charge along with self-defense!
The Grand Finale That Sealed the Deal
Martinez used the symbolism of the gas cans to drive his point home that Jodi Arias is guilty of first degree murder and asked the jury to do what's right, according to the law, and NOT to believe her sociopathic, manipulative lies!
"She wants you to carry those gas cans for her...Do NOT leave the courtroom with the stench of gasoline on your hands. It is your duty to follow the law and apply the facts."
Bravo, Juan Martinez!!! I have to prepare myself for tomorrow when Nurmi spews his BS and slander Travis Alexander's reputation to try and save Crybaby's life. Good luck with that one, Nurmi, because Juan Martinez is a tough act to follow and the defense team is SO out of their league after Martinez's shining performance today!
Stay tuned - court resumes at 9 am on Friday!
Juan Martinez made courtroom history in his closing argument today and he pulled NO punches. Whiny Willmott looked like death warmed over and Arias looked sedated (can you say Valium?) as her head bobbed and she gave her usual lame boo-hoo fake tears performance. She also threw her crazy dagger eyes at Martinez throughout the day. Not to mention her inappropriate laughing and head shaking today. I agree with Dr. Drew--I think she was on some heavy meds (so she didn't lose her sh** in court today!)
So kick back and relax...this might take you awhile to read - today was a BIG day and I want to do Juan Martinez's closing argument justice!!
Hey CryBaby Crazy Eyes Jodi Arias, you faced YOUR KARMA today and his name is Juan Martinez.

Oh snap!! Let's count all the lies that Martinez brought up today and there were PLENTY.

Martinez even points that Travis is even derogatory about himself and his anger is a result of the fact that he is afraid of her crazy stalking behavior...but these are the MOST dramatic words that come directly from Travis during that online conversation.
This is when Martinez drives it home:
Travis tells Crybaby: "I was nothing more than a dildo with a heartbeat to you." Translation: Crybaby was manipulative and that whenever she wanted him, she manipulated him through sex. Uhmmm, very true words!
And you could hear a pin drop when Martinez read Travis' reply to Crybaby...and repeated it a few times so the jury didn't miss it:
You are the worst thing that has ever happened to me.
Martinez says, "No one can dispute that those are the truest words spoken by Mr. Alexander." I agree! Travis goes on to call her a sociopath and a litany of other VERY truthful statements about her psychotic behavior--compared her to Hitler, etc. Whatever Crazy Train did to Travis he was finished with her lying ass and didn't want to see her again- she was Bad News Bears and then some.
The Hoard of Skaters in Pasadena
Martinez weaves a perfectly linear story of pre-meditation - how she planned her trip to Mesa, how she knew that she couldn't be noticed or seen by anyone and told Rental Car Dude she was taking the rental wheels out for a spin around town. Say what? More planning: borrowed gas cans from her ex-boyfriend, Darryl Brewer, rents car in Redding, and even changes her blonde hair and dyes it dark brown.
But the BEST(and snarkiest) part of the story was the ludicrous tale of the skateboarders in Pasadena - as told by Martinez. How can we forget that a hoard of scary-looking skateboarding punks, with screwdrivers, who must have messed around with her license plate? Because you know skateboarders go around stealing license plates all the time and carry screwdrivers with them. And yeah, Crybaby just happened to pick up a license plate off the ground near her car and throw it in the back of her
The only reason she comes up with that crock-o-crap story is that she gets pulled over by Utah cops because she didn't have a front license plate. Oh wow, look, she didn't even know that was her license plate (because she couldn't see it because she wasn't wearing glasses at the time) and voila, it magically is the SAME rental car license plate. Lie, lie, lie!!
The Ornate Lies of Crazy Eyes
There was a laundry list of lies that Martinez ticked off as the day progressed...the many stories of the broken finger...was it Margaritaville? Was it Casa Ramos? Oh wait, it was that time she was at Travis' house and cut her finger on a broken glass. As Martinez said to the jury - folks, take your pick of stories!
And of course EVERYONE but Crybaby is full of crap...including her Utah paramour, Ryan Burns. Why would this dude lie about what they did in Utah? Unlike Arias, he actually took his oath seriously and told the truth and nothing but the truth so help him God.
I loved that Martinez called her an ORNATE, sophisticated liar (I think she is a dumb ass liar but that's just me) - but it was a perfect description of all the crazy lies she has told -- with fanciful, melodramatic details thrown in for the full Technicolor effect. There was the "I hope our kids play together" lie...that was a crazy one that she told after she killed Travis. She talks to Travis' bishop AFTER she murders Travis. She has to put that extra Crazy Train spin on every piece of crap that spews from her she-devilish mouth.
The Fog Rolls In
Another favorite of the day is when Martinez talks about Crybaby's "incredible memory." The quality of her memory is incredible unless it hurts her AND that's when the fog conveniently rolls in i.e the PTSD BS. Oh, yeah, and the fog rolls in when someone raises their voice at her - you know like, Travis or Juan Martinez.
And Juan asks the jury a very serious question: "How can you know that ANYTHING that she says is the truth?" based on her web of lies that she has spun. He tells the jury that they have been manipulated by her - as she sat there on the stand smirking and snapping!
The Road to Death Row: 1st Degree Murder & Pre-Meditation
Martinez went through the jury instructions - step-by-step - explaining why Crybaby should be convicted of 1st degree murder: No doubt she is guilty of killing Travis but what about pre-meditation and intent? Martinez said that she had intention and acted with pre-meditation (along with all her careful planning for her Mesa trip).
She Made Sure Travis Was Dead
Martinez also pointed out that a pre-meditated crime/murder does not need to be planned out months, weeks, or even days in advance. It could take place in mere minutes. She had time to reflect on the decision to kill him and that's what she did. And she did it three times. Did she just shoot him and run out of the house? Nope, after she stabbed him in the shower, she chased him down the hallway, and then went for his throat. And to make sure he was really dead, she shot him. She killed him three different times/different ways: she slit his throat, stabbed him in the heart (along with the other 28 stab wounds) and shot him in the face. That's NOT self-defense.
And riddle me this...Martinez also points out her bizarre behavior when she is interrogated after her arrest: WHY did she want to see the photos of the crime scene, and literally begged Detective Flores to show her Travis' autopsy photos? "I have a morbid curiosity!" Remember that eerie statement? Can you say PRE-MEDITATION?
The Gun Burglar
Even if she DID use Travis' alleged gun (which Martinez pointed out that she stole the gun from her grandparents' house and it wasn't Travis' gun she used to shoot him)...this was brilliant...but then it's still pre-meditation. She committed a burglary because she stole Travis' gun from his house. Another "oh snap!" moment.
The Heat of Passion/Manslaughter Charge Goes Down in Flames
Martinez pointed out based on the crime scene photos: did Travis look like he was ready to fight? (as he is crouched down in the shower). Why was Crybaby clothed? Why is the gun with her? So why did the shooting occur in the closet when she said she shot him while he was in the shower? The stories don't even match up! She even told LaViolette that Arias told her she shot him in the closet and LaViolette confirmed that during her testimony. There goes the Heat of Passion bogus charge along with self-defense!
The Grand Finale That Sealed the Deal
Martinez used the symbolism of the gas cans to drive his point home that Jodi Arias is guilty of first degree murder and asked the jury to do what's right, according to the law, and NOT to believe her sociopathic, manipulative lies!
"She wants you to carry those gas cans for her...Do NOT leave the courtroom with the stench of gasoline on your hands. It is your duty to follow the law and apply the facts."
Bravo, Juan Martinez!!! I have to prepare myself for tomorrow when Nurmi spews his BS and slander Travis Alexander's reputation to try and save Crybaby's life. Good luck with that one, Nurmi, because Juan Martinez is a tough act to follow and the defense team is SO out of their league after Martinez's shining performance today!
Stay tuned - court resumes at 9 am on Friday!

Juan Martinez Fires Up With Star Expert Witness Dr. Janeen DeMarte: Buh-bye LaViolette & Samuels
So the defense rests and we finally got to listen to an actual credible "expert" psychologist today with actual knowledge about PTSD and has worked with domestic abuse victims. Would we expect anything less of Juan Martinez? The prosecution rocked it by bringing expert witness, Dr. Janeen DeMarte, to the stand on behalf of the State. Can you say KA-BOOM!??? In a mere two hours, Martinez basically blew LaViolette's and Samuels' bogus (and biased) testimony out of the water.
Here's a quick break down of how Dr. DeMarte shot down LaViolette and Samuels:
1. Samuels did not follow professional protocol when he administered Arias' biased PSD test. It was a no-brainer and Samuels did not follow the test protocol: you give the patient the test and allow the patient (NOT Samuels) to fill in the bubbles. Hmm, yeah, Dr. DeMarte pretty much schooled Samuels, and in so many words (in a very professional way), she called Samuels an incompetent psychologist who skewed the test based on Arias' lies. Not a big shocker there. She went through the criteria step-by-step to show that Arias doesn't have PTSD based on the scoring - there goes that 69 score that doesn't even fall within the range of PTSD.
2. Newsflash: According to Dr. DeMarte (are you listening, Samuels and LaViolette?), you can't be diagnosed with PTSD based on a "made up event." For example, Martinez asked Dr. DeMarte if Arias could suffer from PTSD based on the ninja intruder story. Uhmmm no, it has to be a "real" event not based on a lie. Wow, talk about a logical answer - way to go, Dr. DeMarte! You win major bonus points for being intelligent and credible, and actually understanding how a PSD test is actually scored. Oh, damn, there goes the Pretend Traumatic Disorder Syndrome that Dr. Doofus diagnosed her with.
3. Dr. DeMarte diagnoses Arias with borderline personality disorder and talks about her "blunted affect" and how she doesn't show feelings of love. Oh wait, she did LOVE Travis but only after she killed him. DeMarte makes this very excellent point - that she only wrote about her love for Travis in her journal after the fact. Oh another big shocker! Arias is ONE big blunted affect. You only have to look at her on the stand.
4. Another reason she didn't have PTSD is that people who are clinically diagnosed have a "foreshortened sense of future" - basically, that means that PTSD patients don't drive to another state and sex it up with a different man the day after they kill their former boyfriend. DeMarte refers to Arias' journals and how she talks about all the men she courts. Courts? That's a very nice way of putting it (but then again, DeMarte has class unlike the other two joker defense witnesses). According to DeMarte, PTSD patients can barely function on a daily basis and Arias had no problem holding down a job or fooling around with men after Travis was killed. Buh-bye bogus PTSD diagnosis by Samuels.
5. Not to mention, a person suffering from PTSD wouldn't put themselves in a position to "relive" the traumatic event again. It's called avoidance which wasn't happening with Arias. She didn't avoid driving by his house or attending his memorial service. Uhm, nope, not PTSD and NOT Battered Woman Syndrome either. She blew that one out of the water as well - nope, Arias was not a battered woman.
Wilmott started her cross-exam and all I heard was blah blah blah...you are young and don't know what you are talking about. She made a condescending remark about Dr. DeMarte's age and noted that she wasn't probably born when LaViolette got her Masters degree. Lame. Wilmott is out of her league with this witness. She is doing her best to nit-pick her credentials and her youth/experience. Whatever, Wilmott. Good luck with that.
DeMarte Shines Through On Stand With Credible Testimony - Woot Woot!
DeMarte shot down the defense's experts' credibility in one fell swoop. Martinez knew exactly what he was doing when he put Dr. DeMarte on the stand. She was poised, professional, calm, cool and collected (even when annoying Wilmott cross-examined her). I'm sure Arias was NOT liking DeMarte as she furiously scribbled notes at the table (probably composing hate tweets to DeMarte - you're next, lady, I'm gonna flip you the bird in court muahhhh!)
The defense is definitely out of their league and it showed today with Juan Martinez's star expert witness. Thumbs up!
Here's a quick break down of how Dr. DeMarte shot down LaViolette and Samuels:
Bogus PTSD Diagnosis Blown Out of the Water: Arias Suffers from BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder)
1. Samuels did not follow professional protocol when he administered Arias' biased PSD test. It was a no-brainer and Samuels did not follow the test protocol: you give the patient the test and allow the patient (NOT Samuels) to fill in the bubbles.

Nurmi Whines For Mistrial Motions AGAIN in Jodi Arias Trial & Judge Stephens Denies AGAIN
This week started off with a bang as Nurmi continued on his annoying broken "track" record by whining about Juan Martinez's "misconduct" (just because he signed a few autographs) and how he intimidated and screamed at defense witnesses, LaViolette and Samuels. Cry me a river. In usual classy Martinez fashion, he held his own and the motions were denied by Judge Stephens.
Nurmi accused Martinez of being mean to the defense witnesses (especially LaViolette) - another reason why Nurmi wanted a mistrial. I wasn't too worried though. I knew Judge Stephens would deny the motions. Nurmi was desperate and grasping at straws and based on his whiny tone of voice in court today, it's clear that Nurmi is jealous of Martinez (and has a personal vendetta against him). Wahhh, boohoo, Nurmi, isn't a cool kid and people ask Martinez for his autograph.
Yeah, hardly grounds for misconduct, so get over yourself, Nurmi It was just another sad pathetic attempt for Nurmi to get out of the trial: he doesn't want to be there so he desperately wants out which means begging every chance he gets for a mistrial. Not gonna happen!
Judge Stephens mentioned there was a fine line between "zealous advocacy" and professional misconduct but Martinez hadn't crossed any unethical lines - yeah, stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Nurmi! If anything, Martinez should complain about LaViolette and stick her with contempt of court for her rude outbursts on the stand. She was the one who has anger management issues and should be admonished - NOT Juan Martinez.
Martinez walked a fine line and could have definitely been more harsh about Arias' tweets. He was calm, cool and collected as he mentioned how the tweeting behavior was considered unethical because she is technically still a witness and isn't supposed to be talking about the trial. Good call. But Martinez has a lot of class: he told Judge Stephens that he didn't want to be seen as "intimidating" Arias by investigating her Twitter account. So he let that one lie and Judge Stephens said she wouldn't move forward unless she had more evidence--this was the first time she had heard about Arias tweeting (via Donavan Bering).
I applaud Judge Stephens for sticking to the letter of the law when it came to denying the motions for mistrial. She can sometimes be too wimpy but she held it together today by not granting the motion, and I think even she's tired of hearing Nurmi whine about Martinez. Wahhh, he's mean to me, wahhh!!
Like she pointed out, the jurors weren't present when all of this went down...so moving on, people. They even brought Grace Wong (a producer for InSession) to the stand to testify that there were no jurors present outside the court room when Martinez signed autographs. How many MORE times can the defense whine about Martinez's popularity? He can't help it if people like him and loathe the defense!! Big score for the prosecution today!
There was a hearing this morning and the defense brought back image enhancement expert witness, Bryan Neumeister, to discuss the supposed "images" that were reflected in Travis' eye. There have been tons of conspiracy theories circulating online and in the media about "who" was supposedly reflected in this image. Were there multiple people? Was Arias holding a gun or knife?The defense didn't bring up the Mormon theory but they were grasping at straws (AGAIN) to prove that Arias didn't have a knife or gun (as reflected per the image)--that she only held the camera in her hands.
Martinez said he could see a dog in the photo - he proved the point that there is no way you could really tell WHAT was reflected in Travis' eye in the shower photo. You could ask ten different people and you would get ten different answers, according to Martinez, and I agree. It was a very lame attempt and I felt sorry for Travis family who had to listen to this load of crap. Who knows WHAT is reflected or NOT reflected in the photo? It's very subjective! It broke my heart as his sisters cried (probably because they were just a few feet away from Arias and had to look at the back of her she-devil head as they listened to Nurmi's lame ramblings!)
A lot of wasted time today in court!!! UGH! The lunch recess turned into two hours of waiting, with defense behind closed doors begging Judge Stephens to allow Neumeister to testify as a defense witness. Judge Stephens finally made the following statement around 3 pm MST and then took the evening recess.
"Ms. Arias was not holding a knife or gun in her hands when exhibit 159 was taken… That photograph was taken on June 4, 2008 at 5:29:20."
Stay tuned...court resumes tomorrow at 9:30 am MST.
Defense Whines That Martinez Was Mean to LaViolette
Nurmi accused Martinez of being mean to the defense witnesses (especially LaViolette) - another reason why Nurmi wanted a mistrial. I wasn't too worried though. I knew Judge Stephens would deny the motions. Nurmi was desperate and grasping at straws and based on his whiny tone of voice in court today, it's clear that Nurmi is jealous of Martinez (and has a personal vendetta against him).

Martinez Brings up Arias' Tweets Sent By Donovan Bering

More Bogus Evidence: Image Expert Called Back to Stand

Making a Mockery of the Legal System: Top 10 Reasons Why Arias' Defense is Worst Ever
I couldn't stomach watching Samuels' answer the jury's questions today, and most of them were redundant anyway. I wish they had asked questions about her stalking behavior and slashing Travis' and his girlfriend's tires! Aw, but we did find out today that Arias was taking tranquilizers for her "depression" (I called it on the meds!)
The highlight of the afternoon was Martinez slamming Samuels again on his incompetency and continued to discredit the bogus tests he administered to Arias. My summary of the past week: Samuels is going to need a therapist after Martinez gets done with him. I find it amusing that he becomes hot and bothered when Martinez questions him - you would think, as a professional shrink, he could actually keep his cool long enough to answer Martinez - it's called the hot seat, dude.
Death Threat Against Arias Made in Court
Things also got a bit outta control today in court when two female audience members, who were seated behind Arias' mom and aunt, were thrown out of court because they said, "I wish Jodi Arias was dead." Woahhhhh!!
After listening to Samuels this week, I am completely disgusted with the defense team and I don't understand why the judge allowed Samuels to continue his sham of a testimony - all his crap should be inadmissible and should be thrown out. Obviously, he's a paid witness but like I said, Arizona taxpayers should ask for their money back like yesterday! This trial, thanks to the defense, has made a mockery of the legal/court system. Beyond disgusting.
I like what this guy had to say about Samuels and his incompetent diagnosis - oh snap!
#10 Too many sidebars and whiny objections by Defense equals big waste of time and HUGE waste of taxpayer's money. Fun fact: the State of Arizona has spent close to $1 million on this trial already.
#9 Nurmi pretends he cares about Arias and her defense. Uhmmm, I don't think so! He's already tried to weasel out of defending Arias and doesn't want to be part of her defense team (he's been denied twice by Judge Stephens). He also likes to pick his nose a lot - you would think a defense attorney would have better court room etiquette (and manners!) Disgusting!
#8 I'm trying to be nice to Wilmot because she had a death in her family this week and am sorry for her. From a defense perspective, her tantrums and foot stamping got old this week and she acted like a bratty teenager when she didn't get her way. Wahhh that's a talking objection wahhh!
#7 The matchy-match outfits of Wilmot and Arias were beyond creepy. What is this? Junior high court? I don't know whose very wrong idea it was but their color coordinated outfits don't fool anyone - especially not the jury!
#6 Did I mention that the defense has made a mockery out of Travis' good name and has slandered a murder victim who cannot defend himself? The defense protested that Travis' family and audience supporters should "not be allowed" to wear blue ribbons in honor of Travis. When I found that out, it made me want to jump on a plane, join the audience, and wear blue ribbons from head-to-toe. It disgusts me that the Defense had the gall to complain about the blue ribbons. But it's okay for Arias to profit off the murder of Travis by selling her crappy doodles on eBay?
#5 Nurmi wasted precious court time thanks to his slow-talking, snail defense. The judge needed to step in throughout the trial and tell Nurmi to get a move on with his testimony. He purposely wasted time on his redirects to drag out his long-winded "sex details". I felt like I was watching a scene from the movie, "Groundhog Day." It was the same boring, irrelevant questioning about the sex details and Arias' rigged journals (I still think she wrote those journals after the fact!)
#4 Worst strategy ever: let's rehash the same pointless crap and ask the SAME exact questions that have already been asked until the jury falls asleep! Between Nurmi and Wilmot, their circular questioning was pointless and it got old fast, especially concerning the phone sex tape and rehashing her kinky sex life over and over again. It didn't work - it only proved that Arias lied and that she was NEVER abused!
#3 Nurmi's ties are weird-looking...ok, moving on...
#2 The WORST & MOST incompetent defense "expert witness" ever on a murder trial - Dr. Richard "Dick" Samuels. Samuels made a big mistake when he didn't re-administer the PSD test AFTER he found out she lied about the ninja intruder story. PTSD? Transient Global/Disassociative Amnesia? Intrusive thoughts? Acute Stress Disorder? Low self-esteem and not assertive? All bogus "psych" diagnoses that are based on a skewed psych eval! Martinez exposed Samuels' unethical behavior when he called him out about the book: a legitimate, ethical psychologist does NOT send a gift to a criminal they are evaluating for a murder trial. Martinez proved that Samuels is biased this week and I don't understand why his testimony hasn't been thrown out by now! Not to mention, Samuels needs to seriously learn organizational skills - he looked like a bumbling fool on the stand as he shuffled through his messy paperwork - it's called an expandable folder - buy one, Samuels!! And that brown suit today was NOT a good look...talk about a fitting color for all the crap that Samuels spewed this week!
#1 The defense actually put Arias on the stand to testify - that was their biggest mistake! (I agree with Nancy Grace!) Martinez broke her down and exposed every single lie and went toe-to-toe with her fake, lying, sociopathic smug testimony. Her fake boo-hoo'ing and tears didn't sway Martinez and he shot her down every time. It was a great move for the prosecution but it was beyond stupid to put Arias on the stand. We only have to look at Martinez's cross-examinations and the 600 questions that the jurors asked Arias.
One word to sum up Arias: LIAR!
Court is recessed until Monday morning!! Until then...Justice for Travis!!!
The highlight of the afternoon was Martinez slamming Samuels again on his incompetency and continued to discredit the bogus tests he administered to Arias. My summary of the past week: Samuels is going to need a therapist after Martinez gets done with him. I find it amusing that he becomes hot and bothered when Martinez questions him - you would think, as a professional shrink, he could actually keep his cool long enough to answer Martinez - it's called the hot seat, dude.
Sociopathic Behavior Shines Through - Arias Flips The Bird During Trial
Guess Ol' Jodi didn't like what her shrink witness said on the stand today. She was caught on tape slyly flipping Samuels the bird from her seat. Oh, but that's totally NORMAL behavior--she's not a sociopath - NOT at all!Death Threat Against Arias Made in Court
Things also got a bit outta control today in court when two female audience members, who were seated behind Arias' mom and aunt, were thrown out of court because they said, "I wish Jodi Arias was dead." Woahhhhh!!
Samuels Drinks Her Crazy Kool-Aid
After listening to Samuels this week, I am completely disgusted with the defense team and I don't understand why the judge allowed Samuels to continue his sham of a testimony - all his crap should be inadmissible and should be thrown out. Obviously, he's a paid witness but like I said, Arizona taxpayers should ask for their money back like yesterday! This trial, thanks to the defense, has made a mockery of the legal/court system. Beyond disgusting.
I like what this guy had to say about Samuels and his incompetent diagnosis - oh snap!
"Saying Jodi Arias has dissociative amnesia is like saying Casey Anthony would make a great babysitter," said Dr. Steven Pitt, referring to the Florida woman who was acquitted of murdering her daughter after claiming that the girl had been stolen by a babysitter.
"This guy, he got bamboozled by Jodi Arias," said Pitt, a forensic psychiatrist from the Phoenix area who has testified and consulted on several high profile cases across the nation. "He drank her Kool-Aid and now he is finding out that it is a toxic mix of 'BS.'" (Source: ABC News)
On that note...here are my Top 10 Reasons Why This Defense is the WORST Defense Team I've Seen in a Murder Trial:
#10 Too many sidebars and whiny objections by Defense equals big waste of time and HUGE waste of taxpayer's money. Fun fact: the State of Arizona has spent close to $1 million on this trial already.
#9 Nurmi pretends he cares about Arias and her defense. Uhmmm, I don't think so!

#8 I'm trying to be nice to Wilmot because she had a death in her family this week and am sorry for her. From a defense perspective, her tantrums and foot stamping got old this week and she acted like a bratty teenager when she didn't get her way. Wahhh that's a talking objection wahhh!
#7 The matchy-match outfits of Wilmot and Arias were beyond creepy. What is this? Junior high court? I don't know whose very wrong idea it was but their color coordinated outfits don't fool anyone - especially not the jury!
#6 Did I mention that the defense has made a mockery out of Travis' good name and has slandered a murder victim who cannot defend himself? The defense protested that Travis' family and audience supporters should "not be allowed" to wear blue ribbons in honor of Travis. When I found that out, it made me want to jump on a plane, join the audience, and wear blue ribbons from head-to-toe. It disgusts me that the Defense had the gall to complain about the blue ribbons. But it's okay for Arias to profit off the murder of Travis by selling her crappy doodles on eBay?
#5 Nurmi wasted precious court time thanks to his slow-talking, snail defense. The judge needed to step in throughout the trial and tell Nurmi to get a move on with his testimony. He purposely wasted time on his redirects to drag out his long-winded "sex details". I felt like I was watching a scene from the movie, "Groundhog Day." It was the same boring, irrelevant questioning about the sex details and Arias' rigged journals (I still think she wrote those journals after the fact!)
#4 Worst strategy ever: let's rehash the same pointless crap and ask the SAME exact questions that have already been asked until the jury falls asleep! Between Nurmi and Wilmot, their circular questioning was pointless and it got old fast, especially concerning the phone sex tape and rehashing her kinky sex life over and over again. It didn't work - it only proved that Arias lied and that she was NEVER abused!
#3 Nurmi's ties are weird-looking...ok, moving on...
#2 The WORST & MOST incompetent defense "expert witness" ever on a murder trial - Dr. Richard "Dick" Samuels. Samuels made a big mistake when he didn't re-administer the PSD test AFTER he found out she lied about the ninja intruder story. PTSD? Transient Global/Disassociative Amnesia? Intrusive thoughts? Acute Stress Disorder? Low self-esteem and not assertive? All bogus "psych" diagnoses that are based on a skewed psych eval! Martinez exposed Samuels' unethical behavior when he called him out about the book: a legitimate, ethical psychologist does NOT send a gift to a criminal they are evaluating for a murder trial. Martinez proved that Samuels is biased this week and I don't understand why his testimony hasn't been thrown out by now! Not to mention, Samuels needs to seriously learn organizational skills - he looked like a bumbling fool on the stand as he shuffled through his messy paperwork - it's called an expandable folder - buy one, Samuels!! And that brown suit today was NOT a good look...talk about a fitting color for all the crap that Samuels spewed this week!
#1 The defense actually put Arias on the stand to testify - that was their biggest mistake! (I agree with Nancy Grace!) Martinez broke her down and exposed every single lie and went toe-to-toe with her fake, lying, sociopathic smug testimony. Her fake boo-hoo'ing and tears didn't sway Martinez and he shot her down every time. It was a great move for the prosecution but it was beyond stupid to put Arias on the stand. We only have to look at Martinez's cross-examinations and the 600 questions that the jurors asked Arias.
One word to sum up Arias: LIAR!
Court is recessed until Monday morning!! Until then...Justice for Travis!!!

Arias Trial Turns Into a Three Ring Circus: Martinez vs. Samuels vs. Wilmot
Before I start my rip-fest into the horrible defense "expert witness" and the three-ring circus defense today, I want to thank all the awesome people in my Facebook group who want justice for Travis Alexander. We have a lively and supportive discussion every day concerning the trial. I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read my blog (and all my Twitter followers who read my blog - thanks so much!)
On a more serious note, I want to point out that I write these blogs to honor Travis Alexander's memory and in the fight for justice for Travis and his family. I believe in the U.S. court system and I hope that the jury sees through the lies of Jodi Arias.
Martinez continued his cross-exam of the bumbling fool, paper-shuffling Samuels. It was all about the boobs and butt again. Martinez continued to show that Samuels did NOT do the job he was hired to do. Martinez continued to prove his incompetency and that he's NOT a credible expert witness.
Fun fact about the trial: Samuels was paid $250/hour for this sham of an "expert" defense testimony. If I were an Arizona taxpayer I'd want my money back. I wouldn't pay this joker two cents an hour for his worthless testimony.
First, The Boobs
Martinez questioned Samuels about the story (aka LIE) that Arias told him about finding "many" breast photos on Travis' computer. Yeah, right! Samuels claimed he didn't follow up on her story because he didn't find it relevant. Martinez slammed him about the naked pictures. And big surprise! The authorities did NOT FIND breast photos on Travis' computer.
When asked why he didn't follow up about the photos to corroborate her "story" (aka LIE), Samuels replied,"I saw it irrelevant to the case." Oh, okay! Samuels pretty much made it clear that her lies were totally irrelevant in his psych eval of Arias. He just overlooked those minor "inconsistencies" because they were simply irrelevant. Yeah, no big deal, it's not like this is a murder trial or anything.
Second, The Butt
Martinez also picks apart what Arias tells Samuels about her experience with anal sex- that Travis was the only person she had anal sex with. On the stand, she told a different story - that she had anal sex with other boyfriends before Travis. More inconsistencies and lies!
Third, Arias' Sex Life Was Ruined
We also learned from Samuels that Arias blamed Travis for ruining her sex life--technically, it was the trauma surrounding murdering Travis. I gagged when I heard that. Yup, can you say psychotic narcissist?
Oh, The Irony of #69
Another inconsistency that Martinez exposed (that caused Dr. Doofus to get red-faced and testy) was the fact that Arias scored 69 on the PTSD scale (I couldn't make that up even if I tried!). According to the base rate score for PTSD, 69 is far below the 75 to 85 range for the PTSD diagnosis so basically, like we all suspected...she has Pretend Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Arias Wore a Sweater...Huh?!
Another fun fact we learned today: Arias told Samuels that when she got away and was running down the hall that Travis grabbed her sweater. Huh, WHAT sweater?! This is the first time we heard about Arias wearing a sweater. Wonder how that works? I tend not to wear sweaters in the sweltering heat, especially in the Arizona desert. It was June and in the high 90s in Mesa on June 4th. She was wearing a sweater? I don't think so!
The best zinger from Martinez - when Samuels attempted to turn the tables on him and ask Martinez questions:
"I ask the questions! Do you understand that?"
Ohhhh no he didn't...oh YES, he did! Stick that in your incompetent, paper-pushing pipe and smoke it, Samuels!
Based on his shoddy, skewed test results, Samuels concluded that Arias exhibited "mild anger." I guess she was only "mildly" angry when she stabbed Travis 29 times, slit his throat and shot him!
Martinez: So you speculated? So that means you made it up then?
Samuels (smoke blowing out of his ears and red-faced): NO! CLINICAL JUDGEMENT SIR!
Then a few minutes later: Okay, maybe...yes, I did speculate.
Samuels attempted to make a lame excuse as to why he sent her a self-esteem book (why would you send a book to a killer who doesn't suffer from low self-esteem? Duh!!) Either way you cut it, it is INAPPROPRIATE to send a criminal a gift in jail! Enough said!
Wilmot's favorite thing to say today...and it wasn't about raindrops and roses either.
Wilmot to Martinez: That's a speaking objection. Wah. Wah.
I really hope the judge completely throws out Samuels' testimony because he is fraud and a complete joke, and he's wasted a lot of taxpayer's time AND money!! He makes forensics psychologists look BAD.
On Wednesday, Court doesn't start until 1 pm MST/ 4 pm EST. They are always running late so they probably won't get started until 1:30 pm MST / 4:30 pm EST.

The T & A Testimony

My Psych Eval of Samuels: Anger Management Issues...With a Side of Amnesia
Martinez continued to chew Samuels up and spit him out on the stand today. Samuels became really belligerent and combative to the point that Martinez repeatedly told Judge Stephens that he was unresponsive and wouldn't answer his questions. And he was having foggy memory issues. It was definitely a three ring circus today!The best zinger from Martinez - when Samuels attempted to turn the tables on him and ask Martinez questions:
"I ask the questions! Do you understand that?"
Ohhhh no he didn't...oh YES, he did! Stick that in your incompetent, paper-pushing pipe and smoke it, Samuels!
Arias Was Not Assertive and Displayed Only 'Mild' Anger
Samuels was adamant that Arias was NOT assertive per her journal entry about Travis. Samuels says that a person can't be assertive just from a statement made in a journal so based on his assessment, he "speculated" that she wasn't an assertive person in real life. Wrong!! She was very assertive when she killed Travis AND had the gall to tell Martinez that he didn't ask questions "correctly." Narcissists are definitely assertive - they want to be in control at all times.Based on his shoddy, skewed test results, Samuels concluded that Arias exhibited "mild anger." I guess she was only "mildly" angry when she stabbed Travis 29 times, slit his throat and shot him!
Lots of Speculating Going on Today!
Samuels did a LOT of speculating and "hypothesizing" today...you know those things that are not based on FACTS! Martinez nailed him over and over again on his "speculations."Martinez: So you speculated? So that means you made it up then?
Samuels (smoke blowing out of his ears and red-faced): NO! CLINICAL JUDGEMENT SIR!
Then a few minutes later: Okay, maybe...yes, I did speculate.
Wilmot Continues Her Whine Fest Today - Wahhh, No More Speaking Objections, Martinez
I lost interest in Wilmot's redirect today because she kept asking the SAME questions over and over...and over and over AGAIN! The afternoon consisted of far too many side bars, Wilmot's whiny objections...blah blah blah...more of Samuels' lame testimony...blah blah. She continued to grate on my nerves and I tuned her out.Samuels attempted to make a lame excuse as to why he sent her a self-esteem book (why would you send a book to a killer who doesn't suffer from low self-esteem? Duh!!) Either way you cut it, it is INAPPROPRIATE to send a criminal a gift in jail! Enough said!

Justice for Travis: Arias Trial Takes Recess Until Wednesday
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?

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.
