The beautiful model is facing the death penalty in the cold-blooded slaying of her ex-boyfriend, who was stabbed and slashed 27 times and then shot in the head in his own bathroom in 2008.

Arias told the jury that trouble started when she was a kid, living in an abusive household. The horrors, according to Jodi, included being shoved into a door post by her father so hard she passed out and her mother striking her with a wooden spoon.

She went on to describe Alexander as a controlling figure, and the defense revealed photographs of a t-shirt and panties he had allegedly labeled as “Travis Alexander’s” and “Travis.’”

When asked if she killed her ex, she said, “Yes I did,” followed by “the simple reason is he attacked me.”

This defense attorney now questioning Travis' ex girlfriend looks like he's on drugs. Has been asking all the questions that the prosecuter asked taking triple the amount of time.

Remember another defendant doing handstands in a police station - Amanda Knox.

Wonder what kind of signals Travis's amygdala was sending?

A n event that involves fear causes memories to not form? How does a professional like Samuels explain why I have such clear memories of the time when an armed man grabbed my arm & led me to his house & pointed a loaded gun at my heart?

Brains aren't like tape recorders with off buttons.

Plus, the person who claims that Jodi's memory is corrupted is Jodi, who is known to lie 7 liable to be put on death row if she loses in court.

Does knowing that hippocampus means seahorse in Greek in any way help Samuels to be able to tell whether Jodi is lying when she claims to not have memory of the murder?

How can "Dr" Samuels have any opinion on Jodi's state of mind during the killing if

1. he wasn't there
2. he didn't know her til well after the crime
3. she can't tell him what happened during the killing because that was all done during the "fog"?

This "expert" testifying about premeditation is a paid legal whore who makes his living giving testimony in trials for defendants. How do defense attorneys & these type of people sleep at night. I hope God deals with them just like he deals with the murderers themselves.

Is there ANY religion that allows premaritial SEX of any type in its doctrine? Are you kidding me....what BS. Maybe she liked witchcraft because shes a psycho witch. How can a guy even get involved with such a woman, most of them are overly cautious when picking women to court.
