Summary of the Jodi Arias Case reasonable doubt thread on Facebook

Summary of the reasonable doubt thread


So far, as of 12/28/24, we are still at Day One of the trial at the 46:25 time mark and we have 105 reasonable doubt points.


Day One of the trial is at :


https://www.courttv.com/title/1-arias-prosecution-opening-statements/?fbclid=IwAR3dDUnWRd4eYp8a7MG43MxEpOxf495ABVfo_juZSy96Ow8v_Wvp1mq9Avg

 

During Day One of court, is it reasonable to doubt the state’s case since

(1)  The state itself was not sure whether the death of Travis was planned and so charged Jodi with felony murder ( opening the possibility of self defense as a viable option ) at the 2:00 mark.

(2) The state itself opened the possibility that Travis died while trying to stop Jodi from fleeing due to the 2nd (alternative)  indictment at the 3:00 mark

(3) The state itself opened the possibility that Jodi did not directly cause the death of Travis when

the state introduced another individual into the case (according to the alternative indictment ), meaning,

if the state was so sure that jodi caused travis death, why talk about anybody else, right people ? at the 3:20 mark

(4) If premeditation is so obvious, the prosecutor would have opened his statement to the jury , with the word “premeditation” or a similar word  , so again people,

in the very opening statement by the state, it shows yet again another reasonable doubt as to the state’s case against Jodi at the 3:50 mark,

(5) The prosecutor says he is sure who killed Travis and yet in the indictment he says somebody else might have killed Travis,  giving rise to reasonable doubt on how Travis actually died, again, giving us the option of self-defense at the 3:55 mark.

(6) Right at the opening statements, the prosecutor was either misleading the jury or was not being serious about the case when the prosecutor said that Travis died as a reward for being a good man at the 4:30 mark.

(7) The prosecutor clearly stated that Travis was pursuing Jodi (at the 5:35 mark) to the point when on 6/4/08 Travis was wanting sex from Jodi even though he was going to go on a trip with Mimi in a few days.

So where is the motive to kill ?  in the light of the fact that

Travis himself implied on 5/26/08 that Jodi only wanted him for sex which in turn creates reasonable doubt since why would Jodi want to kill Travis who was willing to have sex with her even when he was going on a trip with Mimi plus

Travis clearly stated on 5/26/08 that he was addicted to Jodi which in turn creates further reasonable doubt that Jodi would want Travis dead when she only wanted sex from Travis as implied by Travis on 5/26/08.

Cases are about reasonable doubt and point 7 above points that out very clearly.

((8)) Could the defense team have convinced the jury to reasonably doubt that Jodi was the one enticing Travis into sex on 6/4/08 ? in the light of

the opening statement when the prosecutor clearly said (at the 8:20 mark) that

Travis was having a sexual relationship with Jodi and the prosecutor in his opening statement said  nothing about Jodi enticing Travis into a sexual relationship.

So once again people, where is the motive to kill when even the prosecutor in his opening statement inadvertently implied that

Jodi was not enticing Travis into a sexual relationship but by implication

indicated that Travis wanted a sexual relationship with Jodi and since

Travis wanted a sexual relationship with Jodi on 6/4/08 even when he was going to be with Mimi in a few days, so where is the motive to kill in  light of the following :

  • Travis clearly implied on 5/26/08 that Jodi only wanted him for sex

2. Travis clearly stated on 5/26/08 that he was addicted to Jodi.

3. Why kill Travis when Jodi only wanted him for sex ? to probably help him with his issues.

(9) At the 8:30 mark , you can hear the prosecutor giving  the reasonable doubt needed regarding Jodi planning the death of Travis on 6/4/08 due to

the prosecutor himself implying that travis did not want Jodi telling anybody about her having sex with Travis on 6/4/08 ( due to Travis’ reputation of maintaining his virginal mormon status )  and

that is one of the many reasons, why Jodi did not call 911 on 6/4/08.

(10)  At the 9:00 mark , the prosecutor again creates reasonable doubt which the defense team failed to point out.

Since the state implied that Jodi had a history of out of control behavior or violence, why was the opening statement more about insecurity and nothing about aggression ? when

the prosecutor clearly stated Jodi was a snoop, a very non-aggressive act which shows insecurity which has nothing to do with aggression which in turn

creates reasonable doubt that Jodi planned the killing of Travis on 6/4/08.

(11) At the 8:45 mark, again, the defense let Jodi down by not pointing out the following :

the prosecutor contributes to reasonable doubt when he clearly implied in his opening statements that Jodi showed no aggression, violence or rage for five months of her relationship with Travis and

the question is, how is that possible if the state at the same time implied that Jodi had a history out of control behavior, aggression and violence all her life, so again, contributing to reasonable doubt that Jodi planned the killing of Travis.

(12) So since the prosecutor clearly stated in his opening statements (at the 10:00 mark) that

Jodi broke up with Travis without any rage, aggression or violence preceding the breakup or after the breakup, can we reasonably doubt

the state’s position that Jodi had a history of violence or aggression or rage in the light of all her previous breakups in which there was no rage, aggression or violence ?

and by implication, can we reasonably doubt that Jodi planned the killing of Travis ?

(13) At the 9:00 mark, the prosecutor’s opening statement regarding Jodi being a “snoop” clearly did not indicate a history of Jodi demanding anything of her past boyfriends which in turn

did not show a history of aggression, violence or rage against her past boyfriends which again shows reasonable doubt as to Jodi’s plan to kill Travis when snooping denotes fear and not aggression or rage or violence.

(14)  At the 9:00 mark again, the prosecutor creates reasonable doubt as to Jodi planning a killing of Travis since when was the last time a killer was a snoop before becoming a killer, anybody ? snooping, again, denotes insecurity, fear and shyness rather than aggression, violence or rage and

killers do not start of as snoops and progress to aggression, violence or rage unless Jodi showed a pattern of snooping before an act of rage, violence or aggression in her past life.

(15) At the 9:40 mark on day one ( link above ) the prosecutor once again in his opening statement  creates reasonable doubt that

Jodi planned the killing of Travis when he clearly said that

Jodi’s reaction to what she saw on Travis’ phone resulted in a mild reaction and in the prosecutor’s own words, Jodi “ did not like “ what she saw instead of

flying into a rage or an act of aggression or violence and so,

what happened to the prosecutor implying throughout the trial that Jodi had a history of violence, rage and aggression ? anybody ?

(16) at the 10:00 mark, the prosecutor clearly implies that

he believes Jodi (regarding the breakup date with Travis) with no corroborating evidence which leads us to reasonably doubt that

when the prosecutor implies that Jodi is lying in other parts of the trial, he might not be basing it on fact since

in his opening statement, the prosecutor is implying that Jodi is believable without corroborating evidence.

(17)  At the 10:15 mark , again creates reasonable doubt, when the prosecutor changes his mind about the definition of the “end of a relationship”,  when he said

a breakup means moving back to Yreka, and so,

does it raise reasonable doubt when he implied in court that Jodi was still obsessed with Travis after she moved back to Yreka ?

(18)  At the 12:30 mark, the prosecutor again creates reasonable doubt since he implied throughout the trial that Jodi had a history of aggression, violence and rage and so

one would expect rage, violence or aggression either preceding or during the move back to Yreka when Jodi knew the relationship with Travis was over, right people ? but

the prosecutor did not report even one incident of rage, violence or aggression by Jodi preceding or during the move back to Yreka.

(19)  At the 12:55 mark,  the prosecutor again creates reasonable doubt about Jodi’s history of aggression, violence and rage when the prosecutor clearly indicated Jodi’s good character when she did the following even though Jodi knew the relationship with Travis was over and she had to move back to Yreka :

  • (1) not asking Travis for the money to rent the U-Haul in exchange for sex.

  • (2) Trustworthy,  since Travis trusts her to pay him back for the BMW

  • (3) hardworking, since she loads up the U-Haul all by herself without depending on Travis to do it for her .

 

( 20) At the 12:50 mark, again, the prosecutor in his opening statement clearly presented a reasonable doubt regarding Jodi’s history of aggression, violence and rage when

 

Jodi knew the relationship with Travis was over and

 

she had to move over a 1000 miles to Yreka and yet

 

not once in the week she was staying with Travis before the move, not once was there an incident of rage, violence or aggression.


(21) At the 13:00 mark,  is there reasonable doubt that Jodi had  history of aggression, violence or rage as implied by the prosecutor during the trial, when

we know that Travis gave the BMW to Jodi or trusted her to make any kind of payment on the BMW on a monthly basis.

Why trust Jodi to make monthly payments on the BMW unless

Travis did not experience any kind of rage or violence or aggression from Jodi during the months he knew her.


(22) At the 13:50 mark,  can we again reasonably doubt that Jodi had a history of aggression, violence or rage when

 

the prosecutor did not point out any incident of rage, aggression or violence when

 

Jodi did not show any out of control behavior when she was not at fault when

 

her BMW’s transmission was destroyed either due to Travis not telling her how to tow the BMW or the U-Haul company not properly towing her car or giving her the instructions on how a car should be towed


(23) At the 13:55 mark, again we see reasonable doubt when

the prosecutor implied during the trial that Jodi had a history of rage, aggression or violence when

the best time to show out of control or selfish  behavior is to tell Travis that she was not going to pay for the BMW since

the transmission was destroyed and it was not her fault it was destroyed and

she could have easily blamed Travis or the U-Haul company for the destruction of the transmission but

instead of showing out of control behavior, the prosecutor stated that Jodi was willing to keep making payments to Travis for the destroyed BMW.


(24) At the 14:15 mark, is there reasonable doubt  that Travis was very afraid of Jodi  ? as stated by the prosecutor when

Travis was still talking to Jodi when Jodi was over a 1000 miles from Travis and

in the light of the fact that Travis was romantically interested in Mimi Hall and Lisa Andrews



(25) at the 15:00 mark, is there reasonable doubt that Jodi was still interested in Travis when she moved over a 1000 miles from Travis in light of the fact that Travis

he was extremely interested in Mimi Hall who was right there in the same city Travis was in ?


(26) At the 16:00 mark, we see two reasonable doubts in point 26,  26(a) Jodi’s intense sexual attraction to Travis and  26(b)Travis' intense fear of Jodi.

Is there reasonable doubt that Travis was very afraid of Jodi according to the prosecutor (26b) and yet

Travis  kept in touch with Jodi even though she was over a 1000 miles away and even when

Travis invited Marie Hall to join him on his Cancun trip and  even after Marie Hall rejected him as a boyfriend ?

which showed Travis’ extreme attraction to Marie Hall which Jodi knew about and that

is the main reason she moved over a 1000 miles away since

she told the detective she did not want to interfere in Travis’ attraction to Marie Hall (26a).


(27) at the 17:00 mark: is there reasonable doubt that Travis did not invite Jodi on 6/4/08 when

he clearly told Jodi he was addicted to her (5/26/08), when

he clearly told Jodi that she was his whore and she will do as he pleases and when

Travis showed his persistence when

he invited Marie Hall to Cancun even after

she rejected him as a boyfriend and even after

she was dating somebody else ?


(28) at the 17:30 mark: is it reasonable to doubt that Jodi wanted to go to Cancun when

the Cancun trip was just two months away but

she chose to move over a 1000 miles away instead of

staying close to Travis for only  two months in order to persuade him to take her to Cancun


(29) at the 18:45 mark: the prosecutor said

Travis' dog was jumping up and down and excited to see Marie Hall, implying that

the dog was not hurt and yet


in court the prosecutor wanted to admit into evidence that Jodi was cruel to animals when

she squeezed her cat at one time for scratching her.

So is there reasonable doubt that Jodi was cruel to animals when she, according to the prosecutor was

raging on 6/4/08 and yet did not hurt Travis' dog, Napoleon ?


(30) When the prosecutor said (at the 20:30 mark) that

Jodi knew the  access code to Travis’ garage, is it reasonable to doubt that Travis was extremely afraid of Jodi

( as stated by the prosecutor ) when

Travis did not change the access code to his garage when Jodi moved ?


(31) At the   21:00 mark :

is it reasonable to doubt the state’s case about planning when

the prosecutor accused jodi of altering the scene since

true alteration would include cleaning up all the dna and

getting rid of the body since

the car was already conveniently located in the garage and

since Jodi was able to drag the body back to the shower and

over a 6 inch riser without the help of the bed’s comforter, wouldnt it be easier to

roll the body into the comforter,

drag the body to the car and

dump the car in the nearest lake,

get a cab/uber ride back to finish the clean up of the dna and

since none of that happened,

is there reasonable doubt that anything was planned as indicated by the state ?


(32) At the 22:00 mark, do we have reasonable doubt against the state's case ?


We know that Jodi spent over 14 hours at Travis’ home when at anytime she could have been spotted by either

housemates,

visitors,

people calling the house and Travis mentioning that Jodi was over visiting and so

is it reasonable to doubt the state’s case that Jodi planned a killing when housemates were around according to the prosecutor ?


(33) At the 24:30 mark :

When the prosecutor clearly implied that Jodi was the killer,

is it reasonable to assume that

highly prejudicial language against Jodi before deliberations by

the jury could influence the jury in a negative way when

the court, including the judge, the prosecutor, the prosecution and

defense witnesses and even the defense team referred to the scene as

the crime scene or

referred to a crime being committed or

Jodi as the

assailant or

the perpetrator or

murderer, or

killer or

a killing had occurred.


(34)  At the 25:00  time mark:  is  it reasonable to  doubt the prosecutor when he said that
Travis was extremely afraid of Jodi and yet
Travis went to the sink instead of
the exit towards the office downstairs to call 911.
The most probable explanation for Travis going to the sink was implied by Dr Horn when
Dr Horn implied that Jodi might have helped Travis stand at the sink, in other words,

Travis did not think Jodi was a danger to him, and that is why Travis went to the sink, right people ?


(35)   at the 25:00 time mark, is it reasonable that

 

highly prejudicial language should not be used in court and that

 the defense team should have made sure in pre-trial conferences that the word “victim” should not be used to describe Travis since

 if Travis was the victim, the logical conclusion would be that

 the prosecutor is saying that Jodi was the victimizer or the person who rendered Travis to being the victim.


(36) At the 25:05 time mark:

Is it reasonable to doubt that Jodi  planned the killing in the light of the fact that

she tried using a cup to clean up all her DNA from the scene ?

If she actually planned a killing, she would have taken her time to

get rid of all her DNA  with a bucket of soapy water after having

got rid of the body and the car in the nearest lake but

we know none of that happened and so there exists reasonable doubt she planned anything.


(37) At the  25:15 time mark:

Since the prosecutor keeps repeating that Jodi altered the scene, indicating a plan,

is it reasonable to doubt that Jodi planned the death of Travis when

she used a cup to clean up her DNA from the scene instead of

taking her time with a bucket of soapy water after having got rid of the body and car in the nearest lake ?


(38) At the 25:15 time mark:

Is there reasonable doubt that the defense team did their best in pre-trial conferences that highly prejudicial language would not be allowed in court  since

we know that the  prosecutor used the word “killing”  without qualification, meaning,

the prosecutor did not say “as a result of an alleged self defense claim” and so

we know the prosecutor was trying to influence the jury subjectively before deliberations without objections from the pitiful defense.


(39) At the 25:20 time mark:

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned Travis’ death when

she tried cleaning up her dna from the scene by just

using a cup ? and

did not have any other elaborate way of cleaning up the scene after

getting rid of the body and the car in the nearest lake which did not happen.


(40) At the 26:25 time mark,  the prosecutor is implying that

Jodi got rid of the knife and gun as an indication of planning the death of Travis and so
based on that reasoning since

Jodi did not get rid of the body is it also reasonable to assume (according to the prosecutor’s logic )  that Jodi did not plan the death of Travis ? in other words,

is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned the death of Travis in the light of the fact that she clearly could have got rid of the body but did not ?

(41) At the 26:35 time mark from day one of the trial:

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned the death of Travis when the prosecutor tried to reason that  the cleaning of the scene equated to  planning and if so,

where was the plan to clean the sink when water was readily available at the sink and so
by following the prosecutor’s reasoning, cleaning = planning, so since

the  sink was not cleaned  (by following the prosecutor’s reasoning)  equates to no planning, right people ?


(42) At the 26:40 time mark:


Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned the death of Travis when it's obvious that Jodi was in a state of panic (which indicates no plan)


when she was able to pour water around boxes in the closet but


not able to pour water in and around the sink when water was readily available from the sink faucets ?



Did the defense team again let Jodi down by not pointing out to the jury  her state  of panic which could have been the result of her promise to Travis when


she promised to preserve Travis' reputation as virginal Mormon by saying she was never there and thus


giving the impression to the public that  Travis was not breaking serious church laws on 6/4/08 ?


(43) At the 27:00 time mark from Day One:

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned the death of Travis as implied by the prosecutor when he said Jodi used a cup to wash the carpet ?

When she could have easily used a bucket of soapy water but did not, which in turn indicates
Jodi’s state of mind, pointing away from planning and rather  pointing towards a state of panic probably due to

her promise to Travis that she will make everybody think she was not there breaking serious church laws  on 6/4/08 in order to  maintain Travis’ virginal Mormon status


(44) At the 27:10 time mark, from Day One:

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned the death of Travis when


 the alteration of the scene, example,  trying to hide blood with a transparent weighing scale, indicates a state of panic, rather than a state of planning.


Jodi’s state of panic (which the defense team did not care to explore)


 could have more to do with Jodi’s promise to Travis that she was never there in order make the Mormon leadership think that Travis was not breaking serious church laws on 6/4/08 and so preserving his reputation as a virginal Mormon


(45) At the 27:15 time mark:

Is it reasonable to doubt that Jodi planned the death of Travis when

she spent time to alter the scene when

the alteration of the scene was not done in a planned way but

in a state of panic which can be seen by

Jodi pouring water around boxes in the closet and yet not pouring water in and around the bloodied sink which had available water,

using a cup instead of a bucket of soapy water and

hiding blood by using a transparent scale.

Why did the defense team not talk about Jodi’s state of mind during the alteration of the scene ?


Why did the defense team not prepare Jodi for trial, knowing that the prosecutor was going to talk about the alteration of the scene ?


And did Travis make Jodi promise that she is not going to tell anybody that he was breaking serious church laws on 6/4/08 and so

the alteration of the scene in a state of panic could very well be in keeping with her promise to Travis so that

the Mormon leadership and the church would not be thinking that Travis was breaking serious church laws on 6/4/08


(46) At the 27:30 time mark,  on Day One of the trial:

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi  calmly planned the death of Travis when

she had the strength of two people (as implied by the prosecutor when he used the word “they” ) which indicates

a state of terror and not planning  which

could have explained the lack of injuries on Jodi but again

the defense did not bring in the right expert to explain Jodi’s state of mind and lack of injuries.


(47) At the 27:40 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

Is it reasonable to doubt the state’s case when

the prosecutor implied that Jodi planned the death of Travis by altering the scene with a towel and yet

the prosecutor was not able to explain Jodi’s state of mind that clearly pointed to a state of panic rather than

a state of planning when

Jodi used a cup instead of a bucket of soapy water to clean up DNA and

Jodi used water around boxes in the closet but did not clean the bloody sink when water was readily available at the sink and

Jodi used a transparent weighing scale to cover blood that could be easily seen through the transparent weighing scale and

Jodi used a towel but did not use the towel to clean the bloody sink that had available water 


(48) At the 27:50 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

The prosecutor continues his theme of scene alteration by saying the bedding was moved by “they” or

by implication that Jodi in her state of panic had the strength of two people since

 I do not actually believe Juan thought there were two or more people involved in the death of Travis.

Why the emphasis on scene alteration ?

Juan is trying to convince the jurors that Jodi planned the death of Travis but 

sadly the defense team did not bring in an expert to explain Jodi’s state of mind which points more to a state of panic than a state of planning since


planning would most certainly involve the movement of the body (dragged)  towards the car ( wrapped in the bedding’s comforter that was being moved ) and

any planning would have involved getting rid of both the body and the car ( conveniently parked in the garage ) in the nearest lake ( Theodore Roosvelt Lake ).



(49) At the 28:00 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


If the defense team did their job and brought in the right expert, could the expert have created reasonable doubt from the statements of the prosecutor, even though


the prosecutor knew his statements were not evidence but his repetition of scene alteration by an entity called "they" was intended to influence the jury and so


could  the expert  have used those statements to create reasonable doubt at least in one jury member ? and so


with the right expert


is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned the death of Travis when


the prosecutor keeps repeating that “they” altered the scene, implying that


Jodi might not be responsible for the state of mind she was in due to “they” pushing her to alter the scene but

since the expert could have indicated that  the scene alteration points more to a state of panic than a state of planning, for example,


, in this particular point Jodi moved the bedding to the laundry room next to the car but


did not think of moving/dragging  the body ( wrapped in the bedding’s comforter )  to the conveniently parked car in the garage, next to the laundry room for

 eventual disposal into the nearest lake ( Theodore Roosevelt Lake ) along with the car. 

(50) At the 28:30 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

Was the defense team that ineffective or incompetent as to not know what the prosecutor was doing with the jury  or

why did the defense team not bring in an expert to explain to the jury what exactly the prosecutor was doing when

the prosecutor kept repeating to the Jury ( almost like a brainwash ) the scene alteration theme over and over and over and over again and then

the prosecutor topped it off with a very prejudicial word against Jodi by

not calling Travis by his name or Mr Alexander or saying anything neutral like “body”,  or “corpse” or even “alleged victim” but

throughout the trial he kept repeating the word “victim” to the Jury with not one objection from the defense team who could have qualified that word by saying “alleged victim” in order to

remind the jury that Jodi is innocent until proven that the alleged victim was actually a victim and that can only be determined  during deliberations and not before.


(51) At the 28:40 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

Could an expert have created a reasonable doubt in the mind of at least one juror  (when the prosecutor implied planning )  by stating that

Jodi placing the camera in the washing machine was the act of a mind in a state of panic ?

since a rationally minded Jodi or

Jodi with planning on her mind ( as implied by the prosecutor ) would never have put a camera in the washing machine, knowing that “all fingers” would be pointing at her since

she was the only one seen with a camera around Travis.


(52)  At the 29:15 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

We know that the prosecutor,  in doing his best to influence the jury, used the words  “violent attack” to  apply  to Jodi but

would there have been reasonable doubt that Jodi was the attacker  if

the right expert was  brought in by the defense team to show that

Travis was the one plotting an attack on 5/26/08 when he implied that Jodi did not deserve to be alive ?


(53)  At the 29:18 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

Is it reasonable to assume that the jury was influenced by the prosecutor before deliberations when

the defense did not ask the Judge to remind the jurors that 

the prosecutor was wrong in stating that the investigators implied that the death of Travis was planned since

according to the prosecutor

the investigators agreed that Travis was violently attacked and so

would this lack of objection by the defense  be an appeal issue at the ninth circuit ?

(54) At the 29:20 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


Is it reasonable to doubt the prosecutor's implication that torture was involved ?


The prosecutor stated “ it took some time “, meaning,

Jodi allegedly took time to

allegedly mount a violent attack on Travis and

by saying “ it took some time” the prosecutor was

implying that torture could have been involved, clearly directed at influencing the jury with that loaded phrase, to which,

the defense, as usual did not rebut with the right expert to show that adrenaline played a crucial role ( in not creating torture ) since

Travis was able to stand at the sink and not try to exit to call 911 downstairs and

how can it be torture since

the entire incident took about 45 seconds,

from the time of the accidental gun shot to the throat slash ?



(55) At the 29:25 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


Is it reasonable to doubt the prosecutor’s case  when the  prosecutor implied that


there was an alleged overkill situation when


the prosecutor stated that Travis was allegedly killed 3 ways ? and could reasonable doubt be present, especially if


the defense team had brought in the right expert to explain why an overkill is not possible due to


(a) All mortal wounds were inflicted within a 45 second time period and can an overkill be done in 45 seconds ? when

about 11 seconds (3 shallow stabs per second)  of the 45 seconds was actually spent defending against Travis’ ferocious attack on Jodi ?  

3 mortal wounds in about 11 seconds does not seem like an overkill (we will detail the wounds sequencing as  Dr Horn testifies at the right timeline).


(b)  Almost all the stabs except for two were about an inch in depth, meaning, no overkill present since


Travis was moving fast during those 11 seconds and if


Travis was moving fast, and we know he was moving fast  not to exit (since most of the stabs were to the front of the body ) and


if Travis was not trying to exit as shown by his stab wounds in front, what was he doing during those 11 seconds ?


He was attacking Jodi since his blood was everywhere, including the toilet room and the weighing scale area, which again indicates the absence of an overkill situation.


(c) We know Travis spent some time at the sink during the 34 seconds (out of the 45 seconds ) when he was not attacking Jodi and


if it was an overkill, why would he be standing at the sink or


how could he be standing in the first place if it was an overkill ?


and according to the implication by Dr Horn, it was possible for Jodi to have helped Travis  to the sink during those 34 seconds, again suggesting


the lack of an overkill situation  and


(d) We know it was not an overkill since


nothing was happening during the 34 seconds of the 45 seconds because


an overkill would mean wounds being inflicted during those 34 seconds, right ? but


nothing was happening during those 34 seconds


and since


the above scenario was not explained by an expert, is it another issue for appeal at the ninth circuit due to


ineffective assistance of counsel ?



(56) At the 29:28 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

Is it reasonable to doubt that the jury was unbiased when

the prosecutor stated that  Travis received  the first mortal wound,  a stab to the chest even though

he probably knew the impossibility of how that kind of wound could have taken place and

yet he told the jury on how that wound could have been inflicted, probably knowing that

the jury was already corrupted by the media bias even before the trial had begun and so

the prosecutor  could practically “sell” even the most improbable scenario to the jury which goes to show

how ineffective the defense was in not challenging even the most improbable of scenarios,

an appeal issue at the ninth circuit


(57)    And at the 29:45 time mark, on Day One of the trial.

We have several reasonable doubts within this point ( reasonable doubt 57)

We have come to the  point in the trial where


it is  obvious the prosecutor is not interested in the truth but rather


interested only in winning by leaving out


facts that raise reasonable doubt involving  the entire scenario he was trying to paint for  the jury and


probably  knowing how corrupt the jury was ( corrupted by the media bias years before the trial started ) ,


the prosecutor  probably knew that he could “sell” anything to the jury.



So what were the reasonable doubts before and during this timeline ? 


that  the prosecutor failed to address  (before and during )  this timeline when


the prosecutor stated  that Travis could stand and walk after getting the alleged mortal stab wound to the chest.



List of reasonable doubts before  and after



the alleged mortal wound to the chest , not addressed by the defense team indicating


ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit:



  • (a) Travis was not staring at Jodi before the alleged stab even though


the last photo of Travis alive, showed him staring at Jodi and


Travis would have known whether an attack was coming



 (b ) Travis arms and legs were not in the way even though


the last photo of Travis showed his arm and leg in the way of a stab.



  (c). Shower stall was  not in the way of  creating a deep enough  stab even though


a deep stab cannot be achieved with the shower stall in the way.



 ( d.) Jodi was not kneeling just before the stab even though


the last live photo showed a kneeling Jodi with the obvious question  and that is,


if she was going to mount an attack, why kneel ?



  ( e )   Photo of the ceiling was not an accident even though


a reasonable person would think it was accidental and a sudden turn of events ( since


Travis did imply on 5/26/08 that Jodi did not deserve to be alive )



  (f.) Travis was trying to get out of the bathroom to call 911 downstairs even though


the evidence showed him in the


toilet room,


in the weighing scale area and


at the sink, indicating, Travis was not trying to exit and possibly on the offensive against Jodi.



(g)  Travis was trying to get out of the bathroom to call 911 downstairs even though


most of the wounds were in his front, indicating,


he was not trying to exit but rather on the offensive against Jodi.



(h)    Jodi (who weighed 120 pounds) prevented Travis from leaving the bathroom even though


Travis was around 200 pounds and into


weight lifting,


boxing,


intense cycling,


wrestling,



relentless workouts and



MMA ( mixed martial arts ).




(i)   Travis was helpless and could not leave the bathroom in

those 62 seconds (when he was apparently alive ) even though


the prosecutor clearly stated


Travis could stand and walk and


even when walking slowly for 62 seconds, it  would  have been more than enough to


reach the office downstairs to call 911 ( since


slow walking covers a distance of 4 feet per second for a total of 240 feet in 60 seconds )





(58) At the 29:50 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


When the prosecutor implied that Travis spent 62 seconds trying to allegedly grab the knife from Jodi,


is there reasonable doubt that Travis wanted to get out of the bathroom to call 911 downstairs

(during those 62 seconds )    when


the prosecutor stated that Travis could stand and walk after the alleged mortal stab to the chest ?


And the reason Travis did not try to go downstairs to call 911 could have been explained by an expert

( which the defense failed to call ) who could have explained Travis’  state of mind on 5/26/08 when


Travis implied that


Jodi did not deserve to be alive and


that rage building up in Travis could explain why Travis did not try to get out of the bathroom to call 911 since


we believe the right expert would have testified that Travis stayed to take revenge on Jodi as per the implication of the statement on 5/26/08 when


Travis implied that Jodi did not deserve to be alive.




(59) At the 29:53 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

At this timeline,  the prosecutor stated that Travis could speak, even after allegedly suffering a mortal stab to the chest and

what was Travis capable of speaking of ? was

Travis asking Jodi to go to the office downstairs to call 911 ?  or

did he want revenge on Jodi by saying FKYB ( testified to by Jodi on the stand at another timeline )

revenge that Travis might have planned on 5/26/08 when

he implied that Jodi did not deserve to be alive and

herein lies again, ineffective assistance of counsel in not bringing in the right expert to "reason" with

at least one jury member that

it would be reasonable to think that  Travis might have said  FKYB since

Travis did imply on 5/26/08 that Jodi did not deserve to be alive and

in not bringing in the right expert to examine Travis’ state of mind on 5/26/08 and 6/4/08,

Jodi has a reasonable case before  the ninth circuit since

ineffective assistance of counsel is an appeal issue.




(60) At the 30:05 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

Is it reasonable to doubt the state’s case that the throat slash did not have to happen since

Jodi allegedly knew the throat slash was not necessary but as

part of an alleged plan to kill Travis.

Is it also reasonable to doubt the state’s case when

the prosecutor might have implied ( later in the trial ) that

Jodi was behind Travis when the throat slash happened.


So what points could have created reasonable doubt in at least one juror regarding the state’s case against Jodi if the right expert was brought in by the defense ?:


(a)  Travis’ rage on 5/26/08 while Jodi was the one calming down a raging Travis.


(b)  Travis implied on 5/26/08 that Jodi did not deserve to be alive while Jodi was trying to calm down Travis by saying he was the “light to the world”.


(c)    With the right expert ( not brought in by the defense ) could the expert have created reasonable doubt in at least one juror that

it was jodi and not Travis who was raging on 5/26/08 and

it was jodi and not Travis plotting on 5/26/08 and

Travis was the one on 5/26/08 who implied that Jodi did not deserve to be alive while

Jodi was the one calming down a raging Travis by saying he was “the light to the world”.



(d)     If Jodi was behind Travis, the autopsy photo and report would have shown a cut straight in or a

cut angled towards the base of the neck and.

in order to conform to the autopsy photo or report, Jodi would have had to twist her hand upwards towards Travis’ jaw and

the question is why twist the hand upwards  ? when  a cut straight in or angled . more logical or easier cut.


(e)      Would the expert ( if brought in by the defense )  have stated that 

in order for  the throat slash to conform to the autopsy report and photos ( according to the discussion in this thread ) Jodi would have had to either face Travis or Jodi was below Travis.


(f) Would the expert ( if brought in by the defense )  have stated that


 the throat slash happened at the 59th second during the 62 seconds ( from the time of the accidental photo of the ceiling ( indicating a sudden turn of events )  to the photo of travis bleeding from the neck on the floor )


(g) Would the expert (if brought in by the defense ) have agreed with the prosecutor when 

the prosecutor implied that Travis was not interested in escaping but rather 

according to the prosecutor, Travis fought Jodi during those 59 seconds,  time he could have used to escape through the exit.


(h) Would the  expert ( if brought in by the defense ) have explained that 

if Travis was trying to escape in those 59 seconds, all of Travis’ blood would be towards the exit instead of

 his blood being everywhere including the toilet area, the weighing scale area, the sink area, meaning, 

Travis was actually trying to get Jodi instead of using those 59 seconds to escape through the exit.


(i) Would the  expert ( if brought in by the defense ) have  explained that 

Travis had ample time to get to his office downstairs to call 911  since 

  in 59  seconds, walking slowly, Travis could have covered a distance of   about 4 feet per second and

in 59 seconds, Travis could have a covered a distance of 236 feet in those 59 seconds, enough distance to get to about 5 houses down the road.


(j) Would the expert ( if brought in by the defense ) have explained why Travis chose to use those 59 seconds to stay and fight Jodi instead of escaping  ?


(k) Would the expert (if brought in by the defense ) have explained that 

the reason Travis chose to stay and fight Jodi instead of 

escaping was due to Travis plotting against Jodi on 5/26/08 when Travis implied that Jodi did not deserve to be alive



(61) At the 30:34 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


Is there reasonable doubt (when the prosecutor implies during this timeline) that


Jodi allegedly planned to use the gun, after having used the knife even though


Jodi herself told the detective what a hypothetical plan would look like, meaning,


Jodi had full knowledge of what she would have done if she actually planned a killing and that is


 (a)  The use of gloves


 (b) The use of a gun and no mention of using a knife


  (c) Shooting with the gun repeatedly


But what do we see at the scene ? no stippling and no contact wound and so


do we know of a situation when the person is dead and the use of the gun is over 30 inches away  and not right near the head ?


So there is reasonable doubt that Jodi allegedly planned to use the gun after having used the knife, meaning,


if there was an alleged plan, the alleged plan would have involved


          (a) The use of gloves


          (b) The use of a gun and not a knife


(c) Shooting repeatedly


and an expert would have testified to the above in order to


convince at least one juror that there is reasonable doubt of any plan for the fact that


the hypothetical plan revealed by Jodi to the detective was not carried out and because


the  defense did not bring in an expert to testify to the above, again shows


ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit.


(62) At the 30:45 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


We have the following revealed at the above timeline:


(a)   The prosecutor clearly stated that


both the throat slash and the gunshot were rapidly fatal, meaning, Travis would have died within seconds.


(b)   At the same time,  the prosecutor implied that


Travis was still alive when the gunshot happened since


the prosecutor  did clearly state, the gunshot was fatal, meaning,


Travis died seconds after the gunshot which means Travis was alive before the gunshot.


(c)  If the throat slash was fatal and the gunshot ( according to the prosecutor ) was also fatal,


logic will tell us that


if Travis was going to die seconds after the throat slash but


still alive before the gunshot ( according to the implication by the prosecutor ) then


the gun must have been within reach of Jodi but


according to the prosecutor, Jodi chose the knife over the gun.


(d)  Why did Jodi use the knife over the gun ?


would the right expert ( if brought in by the defense team ) have convinced at least one juror that


the reason Jodi chose the knife over the gun was because


Jodi was not thinking straight, probably because


Travis was still attacking her due to


the implication on 5/26/08 when


Travis implied that Jodi did not deserve to be alive.


(e) Could the right expert ( if brought in by the defense ) have convinced at least one juror that


there was no plan to kill Travis and


there existed reasonable doubt that


there was a plan to kill Travis due to


Jodi choosing the knife over the gun, indicating


a state of panic and not a state of planning a killing.



(63) At the 30:47 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi purposely wanted Travis to die when


according to the prosecutor, Jodi slashed travis’ throat and then used the gun on Travis even though the throat slash was rapidly fatal ?


Why is there reasonable doubt that Jodi purposely wanted Travis to die   ?


(a) Jodi had full knowledge of what a plan to kill would look like as she revealed her hypothetical plan to the detective which was:

  • 1. The use of gloves.

  • 2.   The use of a gun but no knife

  • 3.   Repeatedly shooting


(b) none of the hypothetical elements of an alleged plan were present on 6/4/08.


(c) The use of the knife first and then the gun (within easy reach as implied by the prosecutor ) suggests a state of panic and not a state of planning.


(d) The probability of revenge on Jodi by Travis on 5/26/08 (when Travis implied that Jodi did not deserve to be alive) could have been the reason Travis attacked Jodi on 6/4/08.


Why did the defense team not bring in an expert to explore all four elements outlined above in order to


create reasonable doubt in at least one juror which suggests ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit.




(64) At the 31:00  time mark, on Day One of the trial.


At this timeline when the prosecutor stated that Travis fought,


is it reasonable to doubt the state’s case that Travis fought in trying to defend himself ?


Was Travis fighting to defend himself or fighting to end Jodi’s life ?


What are the indications that Travis was fighting to end Jodi’s life ?


Could the defense have brought in an expert to explain the bathroom scene ?


What would the defense expert have stated in court  ?


The following are possible indications pointing to Travis fighting Jodi to end her life (note that


the following scenarios take both the state’s case against Jodi and Jodi’s testimony on the stand into  consideration in order to

give a picture that conforms to the autopsy report )  :


(a)  Travis implying on 5/26/08 that Jodi did not deserve to be alive


(b) Travis telling Jodi FKYB after being accidentally shot.


(c)Travis forming a left handed fist, wildly swinging at Jodi as indicated by the cut on the outside of Travis’ left hand as per the autopsy report.


(d) 11 cuts (that were not stabs) show that Jodi was not trying to kill Travis but


was probably in a state of panic, trying to stop Travis from attacking  her.


(e) 11 cuts ( that were not stabs) were oriented in different directions and


since they were just cuts, Jodi could have made those cuts  in about 3-4 seconds ( about 3 cuts per second ) and


in 3-4 seconds Travis would have been moving in different directions in order to attack Jodi.


(f) 16 shallow stabs ( the deepest was 1 ¾ inch ) shows again that


Jodi was not trying to kill Travis but


trying to stop him from attacking her.


(g) 16 shallow stabs also show a sense of urgency especially when


about 9 of them were oriented in the same direction ( on Travis’ back ) when


Travis was scrambling to get the gun from the slippery floor (after having knocked it out of Jodi's hand ) and


Jodi had no choice but to get the knife since


she did not know whether she had time to escape down the hallway before being shot.


(h) 16 shallow stabs ( except for about 9 ) were oriented in different directions showing that

in about 5 seconds ( 3 shallow stabs per second ) Travis was moving fast in different directions in attacking Jodi.


(i) Of all the stabs, only one was deep ( 3 ½ inches deep) possibly happening at the same time or

a second after the gun clicked/jammed in Travis’ right hand while

Jodi got lucky  in a stab ( in a state of utter terror )  that went 3 ½ inches deep into Travis’ chest, cutting the vein near the heart.


(j) Dr Horn stated that somebody might have held Travis at the sink and this possibly happened during the time that

Jodi felt sorry for Travis after he had stopped attacking her and was on all fours, bleeding out.

Jodi might have urged Travis to go with her to the hospital since

she probably thought calling 911 would be too late but

Travis lingered at the sink ( probably contemplating a revenge on Jodi ) before he spotted the knife down the hallway,

thrown there by Jodi when Travis had stopped attacking Jodi after 9 seconds and  after 27 wounds ( about 3 wounds per second).


.(k) While Travis lingered at the sink in order  to contemplate his revenge on Jodi, he spotted the knife down the hallway and

due to his hubris and

not wanting a girl to win whom he considered to be his whore,  

Travis lunged for the knife not realizing he was weaker than Jodi (at this point ) and

Jodi being one second quicker got the knife first and finding herself below Travis, slashed upwards.

The last wound was the throat slash that was 1 ½ inches deep and even though it was  a shallow cut and not a stab,

the vein and artery in the throat are very close to the surface and easily cut especially with a sharp knife.



(l) Since Travis’ blood was everywhere:

in the toilet room,

the weighing scale area and

all the way down the hallway and

all of it was spilled in about 9 seconds ( 27 wounds at the rate of about 3 wounds per second ) it took Travis 9 seconds to attack Jodi and

he failed at killing Jodi (probably due to out of control anger and irrational thoughts after the gunshot) and

when Travis failed to kill Jodi and was bleeding out,

Jodi felt sorry for Travis, at which time, she wanted to take him to the hospital since

she probably thought calling 911 would be too late.


(m) If Travis was not trying to kill Jodi, you would see all the blood in one direction towards the exit in order to call 911 and

almost all knife wounds would be on his back if he was escaping down the hallway to call 911.

Travis had at least 45 seconds to walk down to his office to call 911 but

instead of using those 45 seconds to go downstairs to call 911 ( after the accidental shot ) Travis chose to remain in the bathroom to attack Jodi instead.


((n)) The last significant wound which is neither a stab nor a cut but

a contusion appears on the right side of Travis’ right knee which conforms to Jodi’s testimony when she stated

Travis lunged like a linebacker towards her (possibly slipping on the wet floor ) and

Travis possibly turned towards his left after realizing that the gun went off accidentally and

in the process of trying to avoid the shot, Travis turned towards the left and

bruised the right side of his right knee ( as per the autopsy report )  as he fell to the floor while grabbing jodi and

the gun being knocked out of Jodi’s hand and so

since the defense did not bring in the right expert to explore all points indicated above in order to

create reasonable doubt in at least one jury member that

Travis fought Jodi to save his life, we once again have

ineffective assistance of counsel , an appeal issue at the ninth circuit.



And so far we have:


11 shallow cuts ( not stabs including the 1 ½ inch deep throat slash )

16 shallow stabs

1 deep  3 ½ inch stab.



Summary of wounds so far:

(a)    1/4 inch cut (not a stab )  to the area above the left forehead.

(b)   2 inch cut (not a stab )  running at a 45 degree angle (to the base of the horizontal hairline ) 

in the lower left quadrant of the back of the head.

(c)   2 inch cut ( not a stab) running almost at a 90 degree angle to the cut in (a) above but

located in the top right quadrant of the back of the head.

(d)  1 ¼ inch shallow  stab (right below the right ear).

(e)     ¼ inch shallow stab on the right side of the neck, right above

the jaw line.

(f) 1 inch horizontal shallow stab located at the back of the neck on the left side about two inches below

the hairline.

(g) 1 ¼ inch shallow stab at a 45 degree angle to  the base of the neck and located in front of the neck and

in the  lower left quadrant.

(h) 1 ½ inch  deep cut ( not a stab ) and  6 inches long across the throat.

(i) 1 inch shallow horizontal stab located  in the upper paramidline (about 4 inches below the neckline ),

in the middle of the chest and at a 90 degree angle to the imaginary vertical line (that divides the body in half)...

(j) 1 ½ inch slanted deep stab  with a approximate depth of 3 ½ inches penetrating a vein

( superior vena cava ) near the base of the heart and

the position of the stab is at a 45 degree angle to the imaginary vertical line (that divides the body in half) with

the top edge of the stab in the middle of the chest and

the bottom of the edge pointing in the direction of the right elbow…

(k) 2 inch  horizontal  cut ( not a stab ) right below the right nipple, ending about three  inches away from

the stab to the vein…

(l) 1 ¾ inch slanted shallow stab at a 45 degree angle to the imaginary vertical line

( that divides the body in half ) that does not penetrate the abdominal cavity and

the shallow stab is located in the upper abdomen,

with a lower edge pointing towards the left forearm and

the upper edge making  the 45 degree angle with the imaginary vertical line…

(m) 2 very shallow and parallel cuts ( not stabs )  measuring up to 1 ¾ inches in length located in

the  front right shoulder slanted with the upper edge of both cuts pointing towards the

right side of the neck…

((n)) 1 inch shallow stab at the base of the back of the neck making a 75 degree angle with

the imaginary vertical line  ( that divides the body in half ) with the top edge higher than

the lower edge that makes the 75 degree angle described above.

(o) 9 shallow stabs ranging from ¾ inches to 1 ½ inches all oriented in the same direction towards the

  right shoulder, at a 45 degree angle to the imaginary vertical line ( that divides the body in half ) except for

one that has an upper edge pointing towards the left shoulder and

a lower edge almost touching the imaginary line mentioned above …

(p) one 1/4  inch nick  along the side of Travis’  right thumb…

(q) 1 ½ inch cut (not stab)  below Travis’ left thumb…

(r)  1 ¾ inch cut ( not stab )  in between the left thumb and left index finger…

(s) 1 inch cut ( not stab ) to the outside of the left thumb.




(65) At the 31:38  time mark, on Day One of the trial.

At this timeline, the prosecutor uses the word “presumably" when describing Travis fighting for his life, and

would the prosecutor have used the word “presumably” if he was certain that

Travis was actually fighting for his life ? and so

with the right expert ( if called in by the defense )  what  indicators would the expert have pointed out to the jury and at least convinced one jury member  that

Travis might have been trying to end Jodi’s life instead of fighting for his life and

could the following have been the indicators ?

(a) Travis implying on 5/26/08 that Jodi did not deserve to be alive.

(b) Travis saying FKYB after Jodi shot him accidentally.

(c) Blood everywhere including the toilet area, weighing scale area, the sink area and all the way down the hallway indicating that

Travis might have stayed to fight jodi instead of trying to exit to call 911 downstairs.

(c) Travis had at least 45 seconds to get downstairs to call 911 if we go by Jodi's version of events (when the shot came first) and

Travis had a full 62 seconds to get downstairs to call 911 if we go by the prosecutor's version of the stab coming first and

the fact that Travis stayed  under both scenarios and not tried to get help downstairs by calling 911, shows that

Travis might have stayed to fight Jodi in order to end her life instead of

trying to go downstairs to call 911.

(d) If Travis was actually trying to go downstairs to call 911, almost all the  wounds  would have been to  his back as he was trying to exit but


the fact that there were wounds on the front of Travis’ body  shows that he might have stayed to fight or even end jodi’s life.

and because the above were not pointed out by the defense (by calling in the right expert),

do we again by ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit ?



(66) At the 31:45  time mark, on Day One of the trial.


This summary (reasonable doubt 66) assumes the findings of a hypnotherapist if

the defense brought in the right hypnotherapist to help Jodi with her memory problems including

"the fog" she found herself in after Travis said FKYB.


and the fact that the defense did not bring in the right expert to prepare Jodi for trial, once again

shows ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit.


Could the hypnotherapist have created reasonable doubt in at least one juror that 


travis was extremely afraid of Jodi (according to the prosecutor in the course of the trial )  by


pointing out to at least one juror  that Travis was not afraid of Jodi when


 Travis was  willing to go to the sink instead of trying to exit to call 911   and if so,


during this timeline, the prosecutor could not explain why Travis would be going to the sink instead of


trying to exit and calling 911 if Travis was truly afraid of Jodi unless


Travis was not afraid of Jodi as implied by Dr Horn when he used the word " unless" which means,


there was a possibility that somebody might have held Travis at the sink and so  


could the hypnotherapist have suggested to at least one juror that 


the person holding Travis at the sink as implied by Dr Horn  (when he used the word "unless" )  and

that person


could have been Jodi and according to the hypnotherapist, Jodi might have  urged Travis  to go with

her to the hospital since


Jodi might have thought (according to the hypnotherapist )  that

calling 911 would be too late ?  and so, we have again,


ineffective assistance of counsel in not calling in the right expert to explain the movement to the sink by

Travis and the possibility that


Jodi might have helped Travis to the sink in conforming to Dr Horn's implication that 


somebody might have held Travis at the sink which in turn would have given reasonable doubt to

at least one juror that


 Travis was extremely afraid of Jodi and so


ineffective assistance of counsel  in not bringing in the right expert  (who would have  helped Jodi with

her memory problems and "the fog" she found herself in after Travis said FKYB) and so 


 in not preparing Jodi for  trial, we have ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit.






(67) At the 32:00 time mark, on Day One of the trial,  the prosecutor says Travis was able to stand up inside the shower and then go over to the sink.

Is there reasonable doubt that Travis was stabbed in the shower ? when the following happened:

The impossibility of a stab near the base of the heart with the following obstacles in the way

1(a) Travis’ arms were in the way

1(b) Travis’ legs were in the way.

1(c) The shower stall wall in the way of the momentum needed for a deep stab.

1(d) Travis staring at Jodi and probably knowing an alleged attack was coming.


2. The prosecutor implying that Jodi had a camera in her hand while the alleged stab was taking place since

the accidental photo of the ceiling was taken after the alleged stab.


3. Travis walking to the sink shows that he was not in fear of showing his back to Jodi



(68) At the 32:05 time mark, on Day One of the trial,

is there reasonable doubt that Travis was stabbed in the shower when the prosecutor implied that

Jodi had both the knife and camera in her hand while Travis was standing at the sink and

why would Travis stand at the sink showing his back towards Jodi if he was extremely afraid of Jodi (according to the prosecutor) and

why would Jodi still hold onto the camera (due to the accidental photo of the ceiling ) after having allegedly stabbed Travis when she could have easily put down the camera before the alleged stabbing of Travis ?



(69) At the 32:25 time mark on day one of the trial:

Is there reasonable doubt that Travis first went to the sink before fighting Jodi ( as implied by the prosecutor ) when

Dr Horn stated on the stand that somebody might have helped Travis stand at the sink ? and if

Jodi did help Travis to the sink, how could she be planning the death of Travis ? and

why would Travis go to the sink unless he felt that Jodi was not a threat to him ?



(70) At the 32:27 time mark, on Day One of the trial.


Is there reasonable doubt when the prosecutor implied that Travis was afraid of Jodi and yet

Travis was able to stand at the sink with his back towards Jodi and yet

Travis stayed to fight Jodi instead of exiting the bathroom to call 911, which gives us reason to believe that

Travis was not afraid of Jodi and its reasonable to believe that he wanted the knife from Jodi in order to use it against her



( 71) At the 32:30 time mark, on Day One of the trial.

Is there reasonable doubt that Travis got stabbed in the shower, tried grabbing the knife from Jodi and then walked over to the sink ? as per what the prosecutor is trying to say to the jury ?

In light of the following:


  • (a) The alleged stab in the shower which was practically impossible as per the points raised in this thread.


  • (b) Use of the knife would have resulted in the camera taking a photo of the ceiling from the floor instead of 3 or 4 feet off the floor which indicates an attempt to catch a falling camera and why would Jodi want to catch a falling camera if her plan was to use the knife against Travis ?


  • (c) Travis did not try to exit and instead went to the sink, showing his back to Jodi, indicating that Travis did not think Jodi was a danger as confirmed by Dr Horn who stated that somebody might have helped Travis to the sink, which points to

  • no planning since an alleged plan would have resulted in Travis trying to exit to call 911 if he thought that Jodi was in attack mode.


(72) At the 32:32 time mark, on Day One of the trial.


Is there reasonable doubt that the wounds on Travis’ hands were defensive wounds ?

In light of the following facts derived from the autopsy report:

(a) The wounds were cuts and not stabs indicating a defense against an attack from Travis since stabs would indicate an attack by Jodi.

(b) Except for a ¼ inch nick, there were no cuts on the right hand indicating that Travis might have had the gun in his right hand as Jodi was pushing his right hand upwards to prevent being shot.

(c) A cut on the outside of the left hand could indicate Travis forming a fist in order to punch Jodi or worse.



(73) At the 32:33 time mark, on Day One of the trial.

On one hand, the prosecutor clearly stated that Travis was extremely afraid of Jodi and then on the other hand says that Travis was defending himself against Jodi.
If Travis was extremely afraid of Jodi, you would expect all the blood towards the exit as he would have tried to flee the scene.
If Travis was defending himself, why did Dr Horn say that somebody might have helped prop up Travis at the sink ?

Why did the defense not point out both points ( above ) to the jury , again showing us ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit


(74) At the 32:45 time mark, on Day One of the trial.


Since it took almost 62 seconds for the throat slash to happen and the prosecutor stated Travis was extremely afraid of Jodi, why did Travis not use the 62 seconds to get downstairs to call 911 ?

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi was attacking Travis in those 62 seconds or was she defending herself in those 62 seconds in the light of what Travis implied on 5/26/08 when Travis implied that Jodi did not deserve to be alive ?



(75) At the 32:50 time mark, on Day One of the trial.


As alleged by the prosecutor, Jodi followed Travis around for 62 seconds after the first alleged stab.

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi was attacking Travis by following Travis around in those 62 seconds or

according to the blood evidence, is it possible that Travis chose to stay in the bathroom during those 62 seconds and chose to attack Jodi ? since

his blood was in the toilet room,

the weighing scale area and

the sink and not all towards the exit in order to call 911 downstairs.



(76) At the 32:59 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

When the prosecutor made his opening statements and throughout his opening and through the 32:59 timeline he used the word “they”.

It is obvious the prosecutor used the word “ they “ because the prosecutor himself was not sure about the state of mind of Jodi, especially after

Travis said FKYB and use of the word “they” could explain Jodi’s altered state of mind, in other words, the prosecutor seems to give reasonable doubt that Jodi was the attacker and “they” being Jodi was not herself after Travis said FKYB

The defense could have pointed out the word “they” to the jury but the defense  did not.

The defense could have stated to the jury that the prosecutor himself was not sure whether Jodi was herself or “somebody else” due to her altered state of mind and hence the word “they” that the prosecutor kept repeating in his opening statement.

So once again we have reasonable doubt that Jodi was the attacker since Jodi became “somebody else” in trying to defend herself after Travis said FKYB and

this was  not pointed out to the jury by the defense, indicating ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit


(77) At the 33:11 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


According to the prosecutor Jodi used the gun after choosing the knife.

If Jodi’s intention was to use the gun, why not use it in the first place instead of the knife ? to which the prosecutor had no explanation since trying to explain it would have revealed no plans to kill Travis but instead a moment of passion (after Travis said FKYB) since Jodi had no choice but to defend herself (without a plan).

The prosecutor’s allegation that Jodi shot an already dead Travis due to rage has a great degree of reasonable doubt since the state’s own psychologist testified that Jodi scored much lower than the general population on anger, hostility, aggression, violence or rage and

if Jodi was actually raging on 6/4/08, she would have let the camera fall to the floor instead of

trying to catch it as indicated by the accidental photo taken 3 or 4 feet off the floor and so we have another reasonable doubt that Jodi was raging on 6/4/08.

If Jodi’s intention was to drag the body  eventually  to the shower in order to clean up any of her DNA on the body, then why create a further mess by allegedly shooting an already dead Travis at the sink instead of using the gun when the body was already dragged into the shower ? and so another reasonable doubt that Travis' death was planned.


Comparing both the prosecutor’s allegations of a plan and Jodi’s hypothetical plan that was revealed to the detective, we can see that Jodi’s hypothetical plan has a greater degree of logic.

Jodi told the detective that if she was planning the death of Travis, she would have used gloves and

repeatedly shot Travis in the shower in order to create the least mess and the ability to clean up the body in the shower.

Jodi's knowledge of a  hypothetical plan which was not carried out on 6/4/08,  should have given the jury reasonable doubt of an actual plan to kill Travis which the defense did not present to the jury and in turn clearly shows ineffective assistance  of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit.



(78) At the 33:35 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


At the above timeline, the prosecutor stated that Jodi stuck the gun into Travis’ temple and shot him.

Two points the prosecutor misled the jury on and those two points by the prosecutor were disputed by Dr Horn and the autopsy photos

  • The temple is  located on the side of the head behind the eye between the forehead and the ear but Travis was accidentally shot on the forehead and not the temple.

  • Travis was not accidentally shot closer than about 3 feet according to  Dr Horn the medical examiner who testified that the gun discharged at a distance of three feet or more since discharging the gun closer would have produced stippling at the gunshot wound area.

The prosecutor probably knew that misleading the jury regarding the gunshot would be fine since the jury was already tainted as evidenced by the biased jury questions before deliberations.

We again have  ineffective assistance of counsel when the defense did not challenge the prosecutor about misleading the jury when the prosecutor stated that Jodi allegedly shot the already dead Travis by pressing the gun to the temple of the dead Travis.

Also, the defense did not bring the detective’s interrogation of Jodi into evidence which if brought into evidence, would have  clearly shown that Jodi had knowledge of a hypothetical plan (wearing gloves and shooting Travis repeatedly in the shower) but since the plan was never carried out, it should have created reasonable doubt within at least one juror that Jodi planned the death of Travis.


(79) At the 33:45 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline, the prosecutor says that Travis was probably dead when he was allegedly shot by Jodi.

The prosecutor himself is not sure whether Travis was dead or not, even after Travis’ throat was slashed.

If the prosecutor is not sure about whether Travis was dead or not after having his throat slashed, how could the prosecutor be sure about Jodi not accidentally shooting Travis ?

The above question was not posed to the jury by the defense, which again shows us ineffective assistance of counsel.


(80) At the 34:47  time mark, on Day One of the trial:

The word “crime” was used by the prosecutor during the above timeline and throughout the trial but

it is not the word “crime” but what the prosecutor was trying to convey to the jury and that it was the alleged crime of premeditation to which

we have ineffective assistance of counsel when the defense hardly emphasized to the jury that it was not a crime of premeditation but rather a crime of accidentally shooting Travis when he attacked Jodi.



(81) At the 34:50 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

In this timeline, the prosecutor used the word “kill” in implying that Jodi planned the death of Travis and yet the defense also used the same word in asking whether Jodi killed Travis instead of

asking Jodi whether Travis attacked her, which again shows ineffective assistance of counsel when the defense could have easily avoided using the word “kill” and instead concentrated on Travis attacking Jodi.

A competent defense attorney would have asked Jodi whether Travis attacked her instead of asking whether she killed Travis and thus creating reasonable doubt with at least one juror that Jodi planned to kill Travis.


(82) At the 34:58  time mark, on Day One of the trial:

In the above timeline, the prosecutor mentions the camera as being part of the plan to allegedly kill Travis and the camera as being part of an alleged plan was hardly addressed by the defense.

Why did the defense not ask the simple question ? :  if Jodi was planning the death of Travis, why did she not use her own camera to lure Travis into the shower stall ? and by not asking this question, the defense again showed ineffective assistance of counsel in addition to not asking the other simple questions, for example:

Why spend 15 hours in Travis'  home ?

Why use the knife when the gun was at hand ?

Why put the camera in the washing machine when it could have easily be taken away from the house ?

The above questions could have created reasonable doubts in at least one juror that Travis’ death was planned.



(83) At the 35:00  time mark, on Day One of the trial:

Here again we have ineffective assistance  of counsel when the defense could have created reasonable doubt with at least one juror by stating that Jodi could not have planned the death of Travis due to the following:

(a) The presence of  the camera in the washing machine gives reasonable doubt that Jodi planned the death of Travis but rather Jodi was in a state of panic.

A planned death would have made Jodi take away the camera instead of

placing it in the washing machine since

a camera in the washing machine would have "pointed the finger" at Jodi and Jodi must have known this since

Jodi was around a camera ever since she started her photography hobby at the age of 10 and Jodi was frequently seen with a camera around Travis

(b) If Jodi’s alleged plan was to lure Travis into the shower using the camera and then to delete the data on the camera,

she must have known that the best way to delete data is to remove the memory card instead of

making people think that she was at Travis’ house on 6/4/08 due to the presence of the camera in the washing machine.

So the fact that being an experienced photographer since the age of 10 and not removing the memory card, gives us

reasonable doubt that the death of Travis was planned but instead points to

Jodi’s mind being in a state of panic and not a state of premeditation.

(c) If Jodi was actually planning to lure Travis into the shower with a camera, why use Travis’ camera, why not hers ? which again gives

reasonable doubt that the death of Travis was planned since

using her camera and then telling Travis she would transfer the photos to his computer at a later date would have been the best way to allegedly lure Travis into the shower stall instead of

trying to destroy the camera after having allegedly lured Travis into the shower.

(d) Jodi is the one who knew all about the camera, according to the prosecutor (at the 35:25 timeline on Day One of the trial )  before Travis even purchased it and yet

the defense did not point to the jury that Jodi most probably also knew that the camera's data was stored in the memory card and so was it logical for Jodi to destroy the camera by putting it in the washing machine ( "pointing the finger at her" ) instead of

just removing the memory card which shows again, lack of premeditation and more a state of panic.


(84) At the 36:14  time mark, on Day One of the trial:

In the above timeline, according to the prosecutor, Jodi erased the photos on the camera and if she did erase photos of Travis, is there reasonable  doubt that Jodi was obsessed with Travis ?

Why did the defense not try to convince at least one juror that erasing photos of Travis did not point to Jodi being obsessed with Travis because

if she was truly obsessed with Travis, she would have taken the camera with her in order to keep the photos of Travis for future viewing which obsessed people usually do


(85) At the 37:00 time mark, on Day One of the trial.
In the above timeline the prosecutor implied the first set of photographs were sexual in nature on 6/4/08 taken at 1:42pm.
Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned a murder while wanting sexual contact with Travis in light of the following 8 points:
(a) If there was a plan, why did Jodi wait almost 11 hours from the time she arrived in order to carry out her alleged plan of using the camera to allegedly lure Travis eventually to the shower stall which took place much later in the afternoon while clearly risking the following happening:
people were returning home from work in broad daylight,
children were probably outside since school was already out,
Travis could have told anybody calling during the day that Jodi was there visiting,
the risk of being seen by the housemates,
the risk of being seen by visitors,
the risk of being seen by neighbors in broad daylight and
the risk of her car being seen ( in broad daylight ) with either a missing license plate or an upside down license plate by anybody including the police ?
(b) The sexual nature of the photos suggest that Travis was still interested in Jodi even though he implied on 5/26/08 that she did not deserve to be alive.
(c) Why would Jodi want to kill her sexual outlet ?, a person she could have sex with at any time, no matter how much he was raging on 5/26/08.
(d) During the trial, the prosecutor tried to convince the jury that Jodi was a stalker and yet the defense did not try to convince at least one juror that the sexual nature of the first set of photos gives reasonable doubt that Jodi was a stalker since when did a victim of stalking want to have a sexual relationship with the stalker ?
(e) The prosecutor during the trial stated that Travis was extremely afraid of Jodi and yet Travis was willing to take naked photos of Jodi on 6/4/08 ( the first set of photos mentioned by the prosecutor ).
(f) If Travis was truly afraid of Jodi, why did Travis choose to do the following:
  • Not changing the access code to his garage.
  • Not putting locks on the “doggie” door.
  • Answering several calls Jodi made to him on 6/3/08.
  • Not calling any of his friends on 6/4/08 during the 15 hours Jodi was at his home in order for them to come over or to be aware of her presence.
  • Not alerting his housemates that Jodi was present in his house at 3am on 6/4/08.
  • Putting Jodi ”in her place” at least twice in the “sex tape” phone call in May 2008 showing his dominant self.
  • Not locking his front door after Jodi moved out of Arizona
(g) The defense could have convinced at least one juror that its not reasonable to assume a premeditated murder because if Jodi actually premeditated a murder, she would have done the following:
  • Been convinced that Travis’ rage could not be quenched after the rage messages on 5/26/08.
  • Not tried to calm down Travis by saying he was the “light to the world” when Travis implied on 5/26/08 that Jodi did not deserve to be alive.
  • Not have sex or sexual contact with Travis on 6/4/08.
  • Not wanting to spend about 15 hours with Travis

(h) Once again, the defense did not bring in an expert to explain to the jury that if Jodi had sex on her mind on 6/4/08, how could she be in the mood for sexual contact if murder was on her mind ? unless murder was never on her mind.

(86) At the 37:15 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

The prosecutor introduced the concept of sinning by both Travis and Jodi on 6/4/08.

Could  the defense have pointed to the jury the following in order to create reasonable doubt that Jodi planned the death of Travis ?  The defense  failed to do the following :

(a) Failed to investigate Travis’ life to determine the extent to which his church leadership affected his thinking on 6/4/08.

(b) Failed to bring in an expert to explain to the jury the extent of Travis’ thinking on 6/4/08 in breaking a major church law.

(c)  Failed to bring in an expert to explain to the jury the extent of Travis’ religious victimization of Jodi on 6/4/08, blaming her for tempting him.

(d) Failed to bring in an expert to explain to the jury the extent to which Travis could have emphasized to Jodi the importance of keeping their 6/4/08 sexual activity a secret.

(e) Failed to bring in an expert to explain to the jury Travis’ religious mindset on 6/4/08

and how he would have responded to the following:

Would Travis have answered the phone if he was trying to hide the fact that Jodi was  at his house ?

Would Travis have locked the front door in order  to hide the fact that Jodi was  at his house ?

Would Travis have answered the front door if he wanted  to hide the fact that Jodi was  at his house ?

(f) Failed to bring in an expert to explain to the jury the power that sex had over Travis to the extent that Travis was willing to forgive Jodi for whatever he accused her of on 5/26/08 and

since Jodi knew this, why would she plan the death of somebody who admitted to being sexually addicted to her ?


In conclusion,  we have ineffective assistance of counsel since the defense did not bring in an expert to convince the jury of the following:

  • Since Travis was so willing to forgive Jodi for whatever he was raging about on 5/26/08 and willing to break a major church law on 6/4/08,  then Jodi must have known the sexual power she had over Travis and so there is reasonable doubt that she planned Travis’ death since she could have sex with Travis at anytime she wanted and so, where is the motive to allegedly commit murder ?

  • Since Travis was extremely concerned about breaking church law, could he have told Jodi to keep her visit a secret and so maintain his virginal reputation in his church and that is one of the major reasons she did not go to the police on 6/4/08 after Travis attacked her ?



(87) At the 38:00 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline, the prosecutor used the word “victim” to describe Travis and

this and other highly prejudicial words were used by both the prosecutor and sometimes the defense to keep reminding the jury that Travis was the “victim” (instead of using the more neutral “alleged victim”) which

could have resulted in bias against Jodi among the jury members before deliberation.

If the defense did not petition the judge in pre-trial conferences to not allow the prosecutor to use highly prejudicial words against Jodi,

do we again have ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit ?


(88) At the 38:03 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline, the prosecutor stated that Travis was clearly excited on 6/4/08, even though the prosecutor stated (later in the trial) that Travis was extremely afraid of Jodi in 2008.

Here again we have ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit when the defense failed to  point to the jury ( in order to  create reasonable doubt )  that there was no motive to kill since

Jodi was easily able to get Travis excited on 6/4/08 even though he was raging on 5/26/08, meaning, she could have him anytime sexually even though he was dating Mimi during June 2008 and also,

there was no motive to kill since Jodi had already stated in 2/2008 that she did not want to marry Travis.


(89) At the 38:08 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


At the above timeline, the prosecutor states that a lubricant used for sex  (KY) was found in the bedroom.

Did the defense try to create reasonable doubt with at least one jury member by asking the following questions:

  • (a) Could the presence of the  lubricant give  reasonable doubt that Jodi was planning the death of Travis while wanting to use the lubricant to facilitate sex ?


  • (b) Could the presence of the  lubricant give  reasonable doubt that Travis was extremely afraid of Jodi when there is an indication that Travis  wanted to use the lubricant to facilitate sex ?


  • (c) Does it make sense for Jodi to bring both a lubricant in order to have sex on 6/4/08 and also a plan to kill Travis  ?


  • (d) If Travis was the one who had the lubricant available in the bedroom on 6/4/08 and he was raging against Jodi on 5/26/08, what does that tell the jury  about Jodi’s sexual power that she had over Travis ?


  • (e) Since  Jodi had sexual power over Travis on 6/4/08 , where is the motive to kill Travis when she could have sex with Travis at any time, even when he was dating Mimi in 2008 ?


  • (f) Jodi was in Travis’ house on 6/4/08 for the purposes of sex but she did not have marriage on her mind since she wrote in her journal in 2/2008 that she could not marry Travis, once again, showing lack of motive to kill  on 6/4/08.


Since  the defense did not bring in an expert ,  in order to ask the above questions regarding Jodi’s  and Travis’ state of mind on 6/4/08 due to the presence of the sex lubricant, do we again have ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit ?


(90) At the 38:40 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline,  the prosecutor states that Travis was taking photographs of Jodi.

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned to use Travis’ camera as an alleged lure to get Travis into the shower stall in order to kill him ? when she could have used her camera instead with the promise to send the photos to him (before he left for Cancun).

Advantage of using Jodi’s camera instead of Travis’ camera :

  • (a) She could have removed her camera from the scene and then taken her time to delete the photos she wanted to delete.


  • (b)She could have removed her camera from the scene and then taken her time to remove the memory card in order to destroy it.


  • (c) If she was truly obsessed with Travis, using her camera would have given her the  opportunity to keep the photos of Travis for as long as possible in order to pine over her loss.


The above did not happen and instead, Travis’ camera was used which should have given reasonable doubt to at least one juror that Jodi planned to use Travis’ camera in order to lure Travis to the shower stall to kill him.

If the defense did not point out the above to the jury, do we again have ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit ?



(91) At the 38:50 time mark, on Day One of the trial:

At the above timeline, the prosecutor clearly indicated that there was consensual sexual activity behind "closed doors”.
Consensual sexual activity had the following reasonable doubts that the defense did not point out to the jury, which again could indicate ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit

(a) Did the defense ask the jury whether there was a reasonable doubt that Travis was extremely afraid of Jodi ? in light of the consensual sexual activity

(b) Did the defense ask the jury whether there was a reasonable doubt that Jodi had no sexual power over Travis ? in light of Travis’ rage on 5/26/08 in which he implied that Jodi did not deserve to be alive and yet

Jodi was brave enough to visit Travis on 6/4/08 since she was confident in her sexual power over Travis.

(c) Did the defense ask the jury whether there was a reasonable doubt that Jodi planned Travis’ death when there was a clear indication that she could have sex with him at any time even when he was dating Mimi during the June 2008 time period ?

  • In other words, why would Jodi want to kill Travis when she could have sex with him at anytime ?

(d) Did the defense ask the jury whether there was a reasonable doubt that Travis did not mind the church knowing about his sexual activities ? and if there was a reasonable doubt, could that be the reason why Jodi did not go to the police on 6/4/08 to report Travis attacking her ?

  • In other words, to what extent did Travis want Jodi to keep their sexual activity a secret in light of his prominent position as a church leader ?

  • Travis’ sexual secrecy involved on 6/4/08 should give us one of the reasons why Jodi did not go to the police on 6/4/08 to report Travis attacking her.

If the defense did not ask the jury the above questions, do we again have ineffective assistance of counsel ? an appeal issue at the ninth circuit


(92) At the 38:55 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline, the prosecutor said that there was no legal prohibition for consensual sexual activity on 6/4/08 but

the  prosecutor did not point out to what extent did Travis think that he was breaking serious church laws and

to what extent did Jodi understand that she was not supposed to tell anybody about their sexual activity on 6/4/08.

Is there reasonable doubt that  Travis’ was not concerned about his standing in the church and the desire to not protect his reputation on 6/4/08 ? and if so,

is that one of the  reasons Jodi  ran instead of reporting to the police on 6/4/08 that Travis attacked her after their sexual activity ?

and if the defense did not reveal the above to the jury, do we again have ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit ?



(93) At the 39:40 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline, the prosecutor talks about Jodi appearing in the photographs.

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned to lure Travis into the shower using Travis’ camera when ‘

  • She could have easily used her camera since she was a photographer ever since she was 10 years old.

  • The presence of the camera in the washing machine indicates no clear plan to use Travis’ camera since she must have known that everybody would “point a finger” at her because she was the only one with a camera around Travis.

Did the defense discuss the above points with the jury and if not, do we again have ineffective assistance of counsel ?



(94) At the 40:00 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


The prosecutor mentions Jodi's palm print on the wall in the above timeline.

Is there reasonable doubt that the palm print shows planning when the defense did not bring in the right expert to create reasonable doubt in at least one juror with the following points:


(a) Jodi clearly implied to the detective that the palm print would not exist if there was a plan since she had plenty of gloves.


(b) If Travis was trying to exit to call 911 downstairs, why would there be blood on the wall ?


(c) Could the forensics expert have created a possible scenario where Travis was attacking Jodi in the hallway  (by trying to get to the knife on the floor) and thus his blood got on the wall ?


(d) Since the angle of the throat slash showed that Travis was facing Jodi or  on top of her, is that when the blood was deposited on the wall ?



(95) At the 42:00 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline, the prosecutor says that almost all the photographs showing Travis were not sexual in nature.

Travis concentrated on Jodi’s sexuality in the photographs while

Jodi did not concentrate on Travis’ sexuality when she was taking the photographs, showing her sexuality was therapeutic in nature.

Did the defense fail  to point out to the jury that

Jodi used her sexuality to help Travis with his therapy ?

Did the defense fail  to point out to the jury that  Travis’ therapy started in the fall of 2007 ?

when Jodi found out that he had a fetish for school girls when he told Jodi go to the store dressed as  a schoolgirl.

Since the prosecutor implied that Jodi’s photographs of Travis were not sexual in nature, could the defense have brought in an expert to tell the jury that Jodi’s sexual interest in Travis was therapeutic in nature due to the following:

(a) Travis telling Jodi in the fall of 2007 to go to the store dressed as a schoolgirl

(b) Jodi seeing Travis lusting over  the picture of little boy in January 2008

The expert could have told the jury that Travis’ therapy had the intention of keeping his sexual  focus on Jodi which prevented Travis from going after a real schoolgirl.

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi was the sexual aggressor when the photos of Travis on 6/4/08 were not sexual in nature ?

If Jodi’s  interest in Travis on 6/4/08 was neither sexual ( as indicated by the non-sexual photos of Travis) or romantic as indicated by her writing in her journal in 2/2008 that she could not marry Travis, what kind of  relationship  was it then ?

There are indications that Jodi wanted to help Travis with his “issues”,  from the time that he told her to go to the store dressed like a schoolgirl.

Crying on the stand that Travis might have been abused as a child is another indication that Jodi wanted to help Travis.

Helping her "master" is a strong indication in this relationship but it all "fell apart" on 6/4/08 when she revealed to Travis that she  wanted to move on with Ryan Burns and not continue helping Travis with his “issues”.



(96) At the 42:10 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline, the prosecutor implies that 19 photos of Travis were taken of him standing up and the 20th was taken of Travis sitting down.

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned to stab Travis in the shower when she could have easily shot him while Travis’ back was towards Jodi during the following time periods in the photo shoot :

5:22:16 - 5:22:21 : 5 seconds

5:22:46 - 5:23:19 : 33 seconds

for a total of 38 seconds , so

why wait till the 20th photo before allegedly stabbing Travis as implied by the prosecutor ?

Why the elaborate photo shoot ?

if there was an alleged plan to stab Travis in the shower ? why not just order him into the shower using the gun.

Which is more reasonable and why did the defense not point  it out to the jury :

  • (a) An elaborate photo shoot in order to get Travis into an allegedly extremely vulnerable position so that Jodi could allegedly stab Travis or


  • (b) An elaborate photo shoot was Jodi's way of trying to make it easier to reveal to Travis her desire to move on with Ryan Burns by doing Travis a favor in “building his photo resume” for the Cancun trip ?


So what is the most likely explanation for the 20th photo in which Travis is sitting down in the shower stall ?

The most likely explanation for the 20th photo in which Travis is sitting down is most probably due to a discussion that he is having with Jodi and that discussion could be

about Ryan Burns and Jodi finally telling Travis that their sex therapy sessions to deal with his "issues" are going to be over and she is moving on with Ryan Burns.




(97) At the 42:49 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above  timeline, the prosecutor clearly states that there were accidental photos taken on 6/4/08 and we know that the camera took 4 accidental photos.

Did the defense fail to point out to the jury that if an alleged murder was  planned, there is reasonable doubt that a murder would involve accidental photos when planning would have resulted in  putting the camera out of the way before executing the alleged plan, right ? since

the prosecutor did not indicate that Jodi was either raging or unstable in any way, just before allegedly stabbing Travis in the shower.



(98) At the 42:55 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline, the prosecutor clearly states that Jodi did not want the accidental photos to be taken and yet the prosecutor did not explain why Jodi would take, not one, not two, not three but would take four accidental photos.

Is there a  reasonable doubt that the elaborate photo session was part of an alleged plan to kill Travis or the presence of four accidental photos an indication that there was no plan to begin with ?

Why did the defense not remind the jury that any alleged plan would have involved putting the camera out of the way before executing the alleged plan so that no accidental photos could have been taken ?

Also, did the defense fail to remind the jury about the hypothetical plan that Jodi told the detective about ?

Jodi clearly told the detective what a plan could involve and that plan did not include an elaborate photo shoot since

Jodi implied that if she planned to kill Travis, she would have taken gloves and used the gun to shoot Travis repeatedly in the shower, implying the following:

(1) Wearing gloves at the point of the alleged plan being executed

(2) Ordering Travis into the shower stall using a reliable gun that she knew was in working condition since she would have practiced with it for at least an hour.

(3) Repeatedly shooting Travis in the shower stall to make sure he did not have time to get out.

The (above) hypothetical plan revealed by Jodi to the detective never took place because there was no plan to begin with and the elaborate photo shoot also points to no planning.



(99) At the 43:10 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline,  the prosecutor states that  the ceiling photo was  taken on 6/4/08 at 5:31:14 pm, 44 seconds after the accidental photo of the lower torso of Travis was taken at 5:30:30pm  with the implication that the alleged killing was taking place at the time of the ceiling photo.

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned a killing using the camera as a lure to get Travis into the shower stall when

(a) A gun could have been used to force Travis into the shower stall instead of an elaborate photo shoot.

(b) She could have easily put away the camera before executing the alleged plan.

(b) The ceiling photo taken 3 or 4 feet off the floor conforms to Jodi’s testimony when she said she was trying to catch the camera before it fell to the floor.

(c) The camera did not take a picture of the ceiling from the floor but instead took a picture of the ceiling 3 or 4 feet off the floor indicating a lack of a plan since a plan would have involved letting the camera fall to the floor instead of trying to catch it.

(d) The camera took not one, not two, not three but four accidental photos indicating the lack of a plan since  a plan would have involved putting the camera out of the way so that it would not be taking accidental photos.

What then is a more logical explanation for the ceiling photo which the defense  failed to explore with the jury by having a hypnotherapist help Jodi remember the circumstances surrounding the accidental photo of the ceiling.

Could the hypnotherapist have revealed to the jury that after Jodi revealed to Travis that the sex therapy sessions would have to end since she was moving on with Ryan Burns and so   between

5:31:14 pm and  5:30:30 pm (44 seconds )  Travis was raging against Jodi, just as he was on 5/26/08 when he implied that she did not deserve to be alive  and that is why Jodi accidentally fumbled with the camera and

the ceiling photo was the result of  a sudden turn of events conforming to what Jodi testified to and that is she was trying to catch a falling camera and the camera took an accidental  picture of the ceiling about three or four feet off the floor.



(100) At the 43:45 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline, the prosecutor states the alleged attack took place during the time of the accidental photo of the ceiling.

Is there a reasonable doubt that Travis was stabbed in the shower stall while he sat,  in light of the following from the last photo of Travis (while he sat with his legs crossed)  looking at Jodi:

(a) If he was looking at her and if she had produced a knife, did he not have time to prevent her from stabbing his chest.

(b) His right arm was in the way of his chest

(c) His right knee was up and in the way of his chest

(d) The shower stall wall was too close for Jodi to get enough of a momentum to make a deep enough stab.

(e) If the ceiling photo was taken right before the stab, why did it look like Jodi was trying to catch the camera  (conforming to what Jodi testified to on the stand ) ? since the forensics specialist stated the ceiling photo was not taken from the floor but rather 3 or 4 feet up from the floor.

(f) If Jodi’s intention was to stab Travis, she would have let the camera fall to the floor instead of trying to catch it.

Even if the shower stall wall had water run over it,  tests using Luminol and/or the Kastle-Meyer Test and Blood Reagent Strips can still detect the presence of blood.

Did the defense ask the state to produce evidence of blood spatter  if Travis was allegedly stabbed in the shower stall since

Travis' chest was close to the shower stall wall  ? and if

the defense did not ask the state to produce the evidence, do we again have ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit ?


(101) At the 43:47 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline, the prosecutor is saying that Travis is being attacked (with a knife ) at the point when the ceiling photo was taken, while the camera was taking a picture of the ceiling at waist level.

Is there  reasonable doubt that Jodi was attacking Travis with a knife while holding a camera ?

The forensic specialist stated that the camera took a picture of the ceiling as it was moving 3 or 4 feet off the floor and the photo was not taken from the floor.

Could the defense have pointed to the jury that if Jodi was attacking Travis, she would have let the camera fall to the floor instead of trying to catch it ? but

if the defense did not point that out, do we again have ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit ?



(102) At the 44:10 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline,   on Day One of the trial, the prosecutor implies that Jodi is allegedly taking the camera off from around her neck, meaning,

she had the camera strapped around her neck and  allegedly takes it off her neck resulting in the accidental photo  taken down the hallway (from the floor ) at  5:32:16  pm (62 seconds after the photo of the ceiling).

Is there a reasonable doubt that Jodi had the camera strapped around her neck in light of the evidence in the washing machine where the camera was found without a strap on it ?

And if there was a reasonable doubt that Jodi had the camera strapped around her neck, did the defense do their job in trying to convince at least one juror that Jodi had the camera strapped around her neck in light of the camera being found in the washing machine without a strap on it but

if the defense did not do their job in creating reasonable doubt, do we again have ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit ?



(103) At the 45:00 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline, on Day One of the trial the prosecutor implies that Jodi is a manipulator because she tries to drag Travis back to the shower stall and part of the plan was to shoot Travis by the sink

Is there reasonable doubt that Jodi planned to shoot Travis by the sink area ? in light of the following:

(a) Why wait to drag the body all the way to the sink area before allegedly using the gun ?

Why was the gun allegedly not used right after 5:32:16 pm when the accidental photo of Travis on the floor was taken?

(b) Why allegedly plan to use the gun after 5:32:16 pm when Jodi would have known that people in the house returning from work at that time could hear the gun going off ?

(c) The 25 caliber gun looked like a toy and so

if Jodi allegedly used the gun on a dead Travis, why was the gun not in contact with the head ? since

it looked like a toy and did not look like it had much power but rather

(according to Dr Horn, the medical examiner), the gun was about 3 feet or more away from the head.

(d) If Jodi actually was in a manipulative or planning mode as alleged by the prosecutor, why did she not pick up the bullet casing since she must have noticed the bullet casing ejecting to the left of the gun ?

(e) Since Jodi was alleged to be in a manipulative or planning mode, was the prosecutor also implying Jodi was in a rage ? and if so, why the shot to the forehead and not the eyes or nose or mouth in order to deform the face of the dead Travis ?

(f) The reason the prosecutor tried to convince the jury that Jodi shot Travis after he was dead is because Dr Horn stated that the original autopsy report was wrong and should have stated that the dura mater ( the protective barrier around the brain ) was in fact torn or breached, meaning, the bullet entered the brain after Travis was dead.

Did the defense question Dr Horn and ask him why he stated in the original autopsy report that the dura mater was intact and if

Dr. Horn meant to state “breached” or “torn” and if so,

the word “intact” could not possibly be a typo since the word “intact” is very different from the words “breached” or “torn”  or “penetrated”.

(g) We know that Jodi was capable of buying a gun ( she bought one after 6/4/08) and if Jodi allegedly shot Travis after he was dead, that would indicate premeditation and if so, why would Jodi create an elaborate burglary in order to get a toy-looking gun that according to grandpa was old instead of buying an unregistered gun ?

(h) Premeditation would include practicing with the gun, especially if the gun was looking old and looking like a toy-gun and so ensuring its reliability and power in order to shoot several times.

So the question is, why just one shot if the intention was to use it on a dead Travis ?

especially when the prosecutor implied there was a rage within Jodi at the moment that she allegedly used the gun on a dead Travis.

(i) If Jodi had planning on her mind and  planned to shoot Travis after he was dead, why did she not drag the body to the shower stall and then shoot Travis  in the  head,  in the  shower stall ? why allegedly shoot the dead Travis by the sink area where it could be messy instead of the shower stall where she could at least use the shower to clean up the body  ?

(j) If Jodi had planning on her mind since the prosecutor implied during this timeline that Jodi was in a “manipulator” mode, why did she plan to use the knife first and then use the gun after Travis was dead ?

Would a planner choose to incapacitate Travis with a knife or a gun ? Could the defense have convinced at least one juror that if Jodi was actually in a planning mode, she would have chosen the gun over the knife and if Jodi chose the knife over the gun in order to incapacitate Travis, was she actually a planner or was she not thinking straight and

if she was not thinking straight, is there a possibility that could she have used the gun accidentally when Travis lunged at her and then used the knife to defend herself since a hypnotherapist could have helped her remember what happened, after Travis had knocked the gun out of her hand while shouting FKYB ?


(k) The prosecutor implied that Jodi shot the dead Travis by the sink but the angle of the shot had to be at an extreme angle in order to conform to the original autopsy report that implied the bullet did not enter the brain, due to the dura mater ( the protective layer surrounding the brain)  being intact.

There is reasonable doubt that Jodi stood above the dead Travis by the sink in order to shoot him at such an extreme angle that enabled the bullet to be deflected by the skull in order to end up in Travis’ cheek.

The bullet entered Travis’ forehead at an extreme angle  conforming to Jodi’s  testimony that he came at her like a “linebacker”, probably due to the following :

  • (1)The floor was wet and Travis could have slipped while lunging at Jodi.


  • (2) Due to the gun looking like a toy , Travis’ rage overcame his fear of a toy–looking gun.


  • (3) At the moment the gun went off, Jodi was probably aiming for his shoulder but ended up accidentally shooting Travis' forehead.


  • (4) When the bullet struck Travis’ forehead (at an extreme angle) , Travis’ head had turned to his left and downwards enabling the skull to deflect the bullet towards his cheek.


  • (5) Travis fell on Jodi knocking the gun out of her hand.




(104) At the 45:25 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


In the above timeline, the prosecutor implies  that part of Jodi being an alleged manipulator is for her to  take another accidental photo at  5:33:32 pm and this time the accidental photo is of the baseboard in the bathroom.

Could the defense have revealed to the jury that there is reasonable doubt that Jodi was a planner in light of Travis being probably dead for  a full one minute and 16 seconds and yet


during those 78 seconds, knowing  she hit the camera on the floor that took the accidental photo of the dying Travis  and yet


within those 78 seconds ( when Travis was probably dead) Jodi  did not care to pick  up the camera even though the prosecutor alleged that she was a planner.


Also, could the defense have revealed to the jury that there is reasonable doubt that Jodi was a planner in light of her being  around at 5:32:16 pm when there was a good possibility

the housemates had returned home from work and

that children might be outside playing or

the neighbors might be outside  or

people might be walking by the house when she exited after 5:32:16 pm ?


Could the defense have revealed to the jury that a better explanation for the accidental photo of the baseboard ( in the bathroom)  and


not picking up the camera during those 78 seconds and 


being present in the house at 5:32:16 pm when there was a clear risk of  being seen by people being out and about in and outside the house  was because


there was no plan to begin with  and


she was rather in a state of panic after Travis had shouted FKYB, after he was accidentally shot ?



(105) At the 46:25 time mark, on Day One of the trial:


  The prosecutor uses the word "somehow" implying that Jodi had such an obsession with Travis that she "somehow" managed to find her way over a 1000 miles from Yreka to Travis' home in Mesa, AZ.
Could the defense have created reasonable doubt in at least one juror that Jodi was so obsessed with Travis that she traveled over a 1000 miles to be with Travis on 6/4/08, in light of the following ?
(a) Jodi wrote in her journal in 2/2008 that she could not marry Travis probably because of what she saw in 1/2008 the strange thing he might have been doing with the picture of a little child, but because she was a disciple of the law of attraction she did not want to go into details about what she thought of Travis with the picture of the little child  ?

(b) Jodi spent more than an hour, four to five times a week talking to Ryan Burns to the point that Ryan was surprised that Jodi was still keeping in touch with Travis.
If Jodi was truly obsessed with Travis, why would she be spending time talking with Ryan Burns for over an hour, four or five times a week ?
(c) When thinking of marriage, the only person that she talked about getting married to was Ryan Burns. How is this possible ? unless Jodi was not obsessed with Travis.
(d) Who was Jodi thinking of on 5/27/08 ?
if she was obsessed with Travis, she would be thinking of Travis on 5/27/08, right ? but
she was not thinking of Travis on 5/27/08 but rather
she was fondly thinking of Ryan Burns on 5/27/08.
How is this possible unless she was not obsessed with Travis, right ?
(e) In the history of alleged obsessions, when did  a person move away from the object of their obsession by moving over to the next town, let alone moving over a 1000 miles away ?
If Jodi was truly obsessed with Travis she could have easily found a job in the Phoenix Metroplex that had 3.5 million people in 2008 compared to Yreka that had about 7,398 people in 2008.
We know that Jodi was a saver and so decided in 2008 that she could save money on rent by moving in with her grandparents, telling us that she valued savings over her relationship with Travis and so again, where is the obsession ?
(f) During the May 2008 sex tape call, not once did Jodi mention the Cancun trip.
If she was actually obsessed with Travis, why not mention wanting to go to Cancun, at least one time ? unless
she was not obsessed with Travis.
(g) No obsessive patterns  in her past relationships and so
why would she be obsessed with Travis other than
Travis spreading rumors that she was obsessed in order to probably give an excuse later on  ( if the church caught him )  that
she is the one who seduced him and he was the victim of her so-called obsession.
(h) In the May 2008 sex tape call, not once did Jodi mention or hint at  marriage to Travis or
a romantic relationship with Travis other than
showing interest in Travis as purely a sexual partner in order to
fulfill his “little girl”  sexual fantasies  possibly because she didn't want him going after a real 12 year old schoolgirl as implied to in court.
Again, normal interest in sex does not signify an obsession.
(i) If Jodi was truly obsessed with Travis, why was she romantic with Ryan Burns on 6/5/08 ?
would she not be grieving over the loss of Travis on 6/5/08 if she was truly obsessed with Travis ?
(j) If Travis saw that Jodi was obsessed, he could have changed the code on his garage door as soon as he felt threatened by Jodi but he did not and so
the question is, was Jodi truly obsessed or was it the rumor that Travis tried spreading around, just in case
he got caught by the church due to him breaking serious church laws and so
he could blame it all on Jodi’s obsession and that he was a victim of Jodi and her allegedly seductive ways.
(k) During Travis’ date with Mimi Hall, Jodi clearly does not show any signs of obsession and in fact
talks about other things in her journal entry during Travis’ 3rd date with Mimi Hall.
So its clear that the relationship that Jodi had with Travis was purely a sexual one, possibly to help him with  his “issues” as testified to, in court.
(l) According to the elder from the Mormon church, he spent about 6 weeks teaching Jodi about the church and he considered her a “golden investigator” ,  because she was totally immersed in learning about the Mormon faith.
How is it possible to be immersed in learning about the Mormon faith if she was obsessed with Travis and not once mentioning him  during the 6 weeks ?
She never talked about Travis to the Mormon Elder to the point where the Elder thought the relationship with Travis was based on friendship and nothing more.
Because the Mormon elder thought the relationship to Travis was just friendship, he was shocked to hear it was more than that.
So in light of the above 12 points, did the defense investigate Jodi’s life in order to see any obsessive behavior in her past relationships and
did the defense point out the above 12  points to the jury in order to create reasonable doubt in at least one juror that Jodi traveled over a 1000 miles because she was obsessed with Travis ?
And if the defense did not investigate Jodi’s life and did not point out the above 12  points to the jury, do we again have ineffective assistance of counsel, an appeal issue at the ninth circuit ?
