      • Youre just so wonderul and its terrible how so many coincidences just made it look like youre guilty. As long as you tell yourself you love god everything will be ok. I hope you are not put to death. And I hope your soul isn’t stained so that you can go fly in heaven.

        • Jodi,
          I am 69 and can so well remember my days of “looking for Prince Charming”. Behind closed doors, a man can be so different. My heart fell for a few guys and I can relate to how feminine and pleasing you wanted to be. I wish I could have been your mentor as you were going thru your love with Travis.

          • I agree i think Jodi did not have positive role models, her parents did not give her the caring loving suportiveness that her talents needed for her to flourish and avoid been seduced by a guy who just wanted to use her for sex. I hope men will learn from this and stop using women as disposable, Travis should had hire an escort and Jodi should had substituted Travis for a sex toy. It does not justify murder but her dad and mommy treating her as punch bag and been dismissive of her talents made her vulnerable to an emotionally abusive men like Travis.

            He was a hypocrite for using religion to have an excuse a shared commonality with her. I hope men learn from this and stop abusing women. Jodi should had substituted him for a dildo he was a prick for continuing to using her for sex given she was invested emotionally and he was not. I wish she would disclose her anger and sadness at been rejected unloved and used. Jodi is the result of her unloving parents poor kid.

            • I was in love with a guy once, a mormon, who was doing the same to women … never being involved emotionally, seeing other women while he was married to one … lying and manipulating women and breaking their heart.

              I was wise to put an end to the relation before it hurt me the same Jodi was hurt….

              I was wise not to engage in a passionate relationship … because i could see how little he was giving of himself in the relationship …. and i quickly realised he was just into sex ..

              I support Jodi too and i think this guy deserves what he got if only for absing and demeaning her and for all the women who have been cheated on, abused, raped, killed and still are and never had justice …

              I too have been abused a lot in my life without justice … so i understand …

              I never retaliated … but it is about time women do something about all the abuse and bad treatmen they get for men …

              I hope that one day women stop dating men ….. because this is exactly what most deserve …. and with HIV as an additional threat… they really should keep their distance from them

              I have a total lack of sympathy for a guy who uses a woman sexually the way Travis did while he was dating other women and tell her that she was only good for sex and no “wife material”.

              A bastard of the worse kind….

              • Yep he was womanizing scum.

                He could have spent his life with a woman who adored him and loved him and would have made him a great wife.

                But no, he preferred to live a life that was sure to get him killed by somebody at some point — and at that he succeeded and now he is dead..

                The guy was womanizing scum and he got what he deserved.

                • Jodi I know you lloved Travis but he was a pervert and exploited your love for him. Idont see why anyyone wouldn’t believe he was abusive. Hang in there. Carrie

                • I believe good people sometimes do bad things but they aren’t evil.may god and jesus forgive u jodi. I too was used and manipulated by someone who i thought cared about me but my money was the only thing she loved.stay as strong as u can and remember your life is important and it matters 2 god your family and dudes who really want and need true loyal love.I hope they don’t kill u and one day u can eat your favorite food,and smell the beautiful mountain air around the siskiyou and shasta area. Ps,contrary 2 blueeyes comment their are men out their who really respect and love women and help them every day against male scum like pumps etc..but be fair,some women treat good men like crap and u know it.back 2 u jodi,don’t lose faith and I hope true love finds u oneday because caring loyal loving hearts like ours deserve it.

                • jodi you are such a amazing person as far as im concerned travis got what he deserved it was bound to happen by your hands or some one elses keep up the fight you have so much to offer this world i only wish i could have met you i would have treated you like the queen you are i would like to write to you message me back even though your stuck there i would love to be part of your life and be a good friend

                • Jodi, the defense worked from a place of love to defend you and have people understand PTSD. It took me a couple years to understand my behavior and feelings from PTSD. I know you are a giver and not a taker. Take in love from us with every breath you take, and feel love in your heart and belly. See the light on things around you, and feel hope. Find hope. I feel the loving nature of Dr. Samuels and how he understands that we find ourselves in places we don’t know how we got to. Now you’ve lived through things that make you wiser, keep love in your heart. We know you are a giver and a lover. Justice Kidjo

                • Jodi, I cannot imagine what you are going through. I saw the video where you said you’d rather die than live. Hold your head up and smile every day. There is the appeal process, and with the crookedness that court performed, I got a big feeling you can win it. Don’t be shamed of who you are, and make sure they never catch you crying. Be proud. I am a student at Post University just finishing up my Bachelors Degree in Psychology, I know from testimony that you can win that appeal. Feel it big. Don’t give up ok?

                • Travis was a desperate loser & you were way to good for him. He was a fake with all his religious BS & a total manipulator. Typical ugly guy who gets a girl way too good for him & all of a sudden thinks he is something. Don’t wAste years on that loser scumbag fake, you are better than him & it’s funny how people try to make him a good guy. He’s a loser & a tool so don’t give up & fight for appealing the case. You were too good for him & way to nice for what he deserved. He didn’t deserve any of the nice comments you would try to flatter him with cause lets be honest, he’s a tool who uses religion to manipulate but it’s obvious. Be happy you aren’t with that joke anymore, he looks like a beast compared to you

              • I agree with you. Men need to learn to not play with a girls heart and mind just to get a piece of a$$. They said he was wanting out of the relationship then why was he still having sex with her. he was toying with her heart and mind.

                • Many greetings from Germany Jodi !

                  I agree with many people on here.. So many hate on peoples hearts… Pitty. I am totaly agains the death penalty. The State of Arizona has no right to kill Jodi or anybody elso !

                  I read once and saw also the picture of a 11 year old black boy that got shot in the head, mistakely by a store owner… The boy did not die. He recorver and finished hight school, and finished also college. He has not any more the part of his brains, he has a big holle on his head. The boy, if i can recall well, did not felt down, he was awaken till the ambulance came for him. Tell your friends to make a research on the topic Jodi. Maybe you´ll find the site that I was looking for it, to help you.

                  If Dr. DeMarte said that she gave you 165 score points, to see if you can read and write. After reading much of your writtings is impossible for you to have BPD, because I was 20 years with one man that suffers BPD and it is very difficult, for him to difine words, cause the lack of emotions… They write more like robots, macanicaly, you if will. So I think that´s a GOOD point for Willmott to debate !!! Good luck ! I am sending many POSITIVES thoughts for your trial and see you everyday via stream.

                • I agree with with many of the posters here. If Travis really wanted out of relationship, he had a choice to do so. Yet he continued playing with Jodi’s emotions. You never know what happens behind closed doors, men tend to change and become abusive, I’ve seen that happening.

                  I think it’s ridiculous that Jodi gets tried by the media even before the court trial is over. Whatever happen to the good old ethics? None much these days. Ditto for trying Jodi only because they have to blame ‘someone’ and she’s an easy target.

                  Jodi, be strong, remember we’re here for you.

                • Yes, he was toying with her. But then that’s what guys like that do. Bless her heart.

                • This has been bothering me too, they paint Travis as so innocent and Jodi as evil, but what kind of man would break up and say he wants to move on, have interests in other women, and yet he still continues with the sex, cameras, games etc.? It sounds like he was using her and not caring one little bit about her feelings, and that is mean to do to anyone, and it backfired on him, I feel sorry for her, she got treated unfairly.

                • You reap what you sow but the hell of this is that jodi is paying for this screwball I’m not God but this boy**** was not much a man of God

              • Jodi, I’m so sad things turned out the way it did with Travis. But, enough of all this. I. Just wanted to say that you should continue with your art & express in this art with who you are now. The true you. You are a beautiful young woman who obviously didn’t have the love or support of your family & that’s why you believed that you needed a man to love you. You truly want to be loved, and I’m telling you love isn’t a physical thing : it’s a feeling inside of you that awakens the awareness of self liking & fullfilling happiness that you can share with people in general that see the real you. I will be praying for the best for you.

                • I started loosing faith in Jodi’s defense attorney when he said, “9 days out of 10 I don’t like Jodi Arias.” Regardless of what point he was trying to convey to the jury, this was an unacceptable statement. Now he is telling her she has no mitigating facts for a request not to consider the death penalty? OMG, please, she needs to get ride of this guy who is selling her down the river. Just one more wrong she has been handed in this set-up of a trial. Jodi, don’t give up on life, yours is far from over My prayers for you are being said regularly.

              • I am team JODI 110 percent!!!!! She was manipulated and used and lied to and I would have snapped too!!! Free Jodi

                • I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!!! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO CONVIENCE ME THAT THIS JURORS DID NOT GO HOME AND LOOK AT ANY COVERAGE OF THIS TRIAL. THAT’S JUST NOT POSSIBLE IN THIS DAY AND AGE. AND WITH THAT BEING THE CASE HOW COULD THEY COME TO A FAIR CONCLUSION!? HLN IS POSTING ANY AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRIAL……..I DO AGREE WITH FREEDOM OF SPEECH. BUT WHY COULDN’T THEY JUST AIR THE FREAKIN TRIAL AND SHUT OFF FOR THE DAY. THEIR OPINION SHOULD NOT HAVE COUNTED AT ALL!!!!!

                • I agree……….Jodie was used, physically and mentally………..I would have lost it too!!…………..I feel badly for her……..

              • ~Jodi~
                I agree with blueeyes france. Also, I will pray that you will seek God for forgivness, because only He can give you everlasting life and only He can lift all of that bondage and hurt that you may have inside of you. God can give you peace. All you have to do is repent. Pray to God that you are sorry and repent for what you did (sincerely) so that you may be truly forgiven.
                You don’t have to pray out loud or anything like that, just say it in your head, like this: “Jesus shine your light on me and reveal my hidden sins. I repent of my sins and I am truly sorry for what I did. Forgive me. Jesus wash me with your blood so that I may be restored (purified) to the woman you have created me to be. Please come into my heart, I accept You as my Lord and Savior.”
                After that just ask for a bible and start reading it. If some things don’t make sense in there God will speak to you. You are such a bright young woman, I know you are in a pickle right now but despite your circumstances God can absolve you of the heaviness in your heart, He can give you spiritual freedom from abuse and from everything that has hurt you and from all sin. His love is the sweetest thing that I have ever experienced. My only wish for you Jodi is that you will experience the love that Jesus has for you. He really does love you, and wants you to turn to Him for help. Jesus loves you please ask Him for forgivness so that you are on good terms with Him.

                • Until recently I felt Jodie Arias to be guilty and even felt hatred for her even though she has never done anything to me.I think the photo’s of Travis Alexander in death and the way he died affected me very much.There can be no doubt it was a horrible way to die for anyone, no matter who or what they are.As I watched Jodie today I believed her.Truly believe she is sorry that he died at her hand in that manner.I do not want Jodie to die at the hands of the state.I want her to live and I truly hope the jury feels the same way.Jodie can do alot of good in prison, she is a smart woman who has many things to teach those less fortunate.People on Hln network seem to not believe her.I want to tell Jodie these people do not matter.What I am saying now does not matter either.God knows what happened that day.Jodie and God are the only 2 people who really know what happened on that day.God loves you Jodie and God always keeps his promise’s.Some people on this earth will never forgive you and never forget.I want you to know the very instant you asked God to forgive you, forgiveness was given to you by God and there is nothing that can change that fact.I pray for you.I pray the jury does not decide to take your life.Please know that everyone on this earth does not hate you.

                • I agree with Dee 100%. Jodi’s life is worth saving, and I pray that the jury does the right thing by not imposing the death penalty. My thoughts and prayers are with you always, Jodi.

                • This note is for DEE.

                  Dee, your advice is the best advice that I’ve ever seen on this blog. Advice to Jodi to seek God’s forgiveness should be her ultimate goal for the remainder of her life.

                  Her answer to what actually happened between her and Travis Alexander can only be answered by her since, sadly, Travis was murdered by her in a brutal fashion. The two of them and God only know the truth about the matter. No mortal being truly knows what happened.

                  Finally, I believe in a life after death and HE is the only one who can forgive and judge her after her final day on earth.

                  Peace to you and again you gave great advice to Jodi. Hope she reads this if she truly wants forgiveness.

                • In my opinion, it is obvious that Travis mentally and verbally abused you. I was a victim of domestic abuse. This man punched me in the face so hard I flew back and dented the wall. I have TMJ now. He said I deserved to be beaten because I had a smart ass mouth. I admit to that, but in NO way does that mean I deserved to be punched. I took self defense classes and beat the crap out of him next time he came at me and the police had the NERVE to write up a complaint on ME! I guess women are just suppose to shut up and take the abuse.

                • Do not, set yourself up, to, be, hypnonauseated, by, the spastic, carnival act, of the penguin, in a, tutu; again… Plead the fifth, and, refuse to be subjected, to the carnival, hypnosis, side show; leaving, Sir Spazalot, to, grab his own ass, with, no one, to, badger, and, only, the jury, to, hypnonauseate… Pandering to these, parasites, is, a big mistake, as was, claiming to, have, shot him; when, the combined blood, hand print, contained, no, gunpowder, particulates, proving that, you never fired a gun, at all…. Also, there is a bootprint in the not yet, dried, blood, proving that, there was a msn, at the scene, before the blood, dried. Why, didn’t that person, call the cvops; because he, was in on it, and, as you said; “I had no part in it.” Then, there’s the foot in a sock; much smaller, than the boot… and, the impossibility, that the person, who, took the sock picture, was close enough to be the , photographer… proving that, when, Travis, was, alive, there were three other people, at the scene; two, of which, did, have a part, in it…. Then there’s the reported, prayer mode, duct taped, hands, which, myeteriously, disappeared, which, proves, Travis, was, getting ready for his blood vastonement, soul saving ritual; as outlined, by, Anderson, in tht God Makers, book, I, sent you; proving the preferred, method, of killink was, heart plunge, and, ear to ear, throat slice… Track down, all my proofs of, your innocense… Edgrrr…

                • Another assault against her, by the relentless, badgerings of the shucking and jiving, tapdancing by, Sir Jerksalot, as the spastic prostitutor, supplanted a carnival act side show, to hypnonauseate, instead of enter facts. This soap opera, was over, the minute the three stooges; defective detective, medical examiner, and, the spaz, who orchestrated the conmspiracy of the first part, perjured the process, to interstate kidnapping, based upon fraudulent “evidence;” the combined blood handprint; while concealing, the fact that there were no gunpowder particulates, proving, Jodi, never fired a gun… which for years, that exculpatory evidence was concealed, and the perjuries continued; one of which was the claim that this was one premeditated crime; a lie, because these were separate crimes, despite the lie, that all of it occurred in twenty minutes. It took four or five days for the blood puddles to become blood islands, as proven by the ejkected gun shell, landed upon dried blood; not, wet blood, or, there would have been a blood smear on the brass, and, if, the gunshot was first, blood would have poured on top, of the brass, not, under… Then the prostitutor, orchestrated, a, , three stooges, conspiracy, again, in lockstep unison, recanted its’ lies, to, do a 180 reversal of facts, with the three stooges, each arriving at their second epiphany, to, perjure a reversal of format, while neither the brain dead judge or the defense, uttered a gasp… nor, moved for a dismissal, considering the State kidnapping, by perjured conspiracy by the three stooges, now, recants, to reverse course; and, the braindead judge, sees, nothing wrong with two contradictory conspiracies, having occurred in front of her…??? Then, Jodi, contradicts, the proof that she never fired a gun, by “admitting ” that she, shot him first, as would have been necessary, to gain the advantage; a 130 pound girl, against, a bodybuilder, weightlifter, martial arts, kickboxer, weighing over 200 pounds; why, when forensics from the beginning was concealed, proving that, she never fired a gun… so, why would she say she did, and why would the prostitutor, the brain dead judge, and the medical examiner, the defective detective, and the socalled defense, all, and, Jodi, say she shot him first when, forensics, had just wimped out and had done their 180 about face, proving that they were all lying from the outset… ??? More later…. Edgrrr…

              • It really breaks my heart that Jodi went though all the stuff that she did and NO ONE takes that into consideration. My heart truly breaks for her I swear. How can a man live a double life cause all the heart ache that was caused and get away with it!?

                • Dear Jodi. You are smart, beautiful, Strong and you are not alone. You are believed and loved. You are not alone and never will be. I am proud of you. You dont have to beg and kiss the Alexander families ass. I am sick at their martyr routine. They are ugly in their hearts as they are in their appearace i am sick of the press and HLN kissing their asses. You keep fighting ok. If they are so holy then why do they need you to die for them to feel brother. The brother’s illerate speech and his nasty face is so arrogant. They blame you for everything but the war in Iraq. The cop sister another phoney sympathy junkie. Jodi this freak nancy Grace and Dr. Drew, Vinnie politano and these disgusting people will be judged by God for their HATE. F–k them all. We r all sick of Nancy Grace and her dead fiancee Keith stories. Steven Alexander looKs and sounds mentally ill and filled with hate. I and my family and friends wish you the best. You have alot of people who r here For you. Stay strong. They cannot break you and Do not grovel for these bastards. Love sue of TEAM JODI

                • Sorry for all the typos… then. the disappearing, duct tape, by the scene, launderers, before the police were called, to, conceal the blood oath, blood atonement, ritual, and, the multiple stabbings, and, later crime; four or five days, after ther precision, kill, that, it took, for, the blood to dry, as proven by mutilations of a dead body, and, later crime, feeble coverup, by, “wounds,” that couldn’t bleed, because four or five days ago, he had, submitted to his sacred oath, to, save his, eternal, soul… as per his, devoutness; explained, in “the God Makers,” book, I, sent you… Also, as proven by the ejected brass, shell, by, no wet blood smear, on the brass, proving, four or five days, it, took, for the blood to dry… The feigned hysterics , stabfest, was to set you up, for the precision kill, feebly, pretending, that, such a frenzied, stabfest, was, done by the same person, a man, who, could, overpower, Travis, and, nearly, decapitate him… That, was not, you… Edgrrr…

              • With no risk to herself, and, to be more diabolical, and, premeditative, Jodi, could have passed around, the X-rated pictures, and, blown his sleazy ass, out of his delusionary, hype…. and, cut off his supply, of “good little Mormon girls,” to keep him, all, to herself….. Snidely….. Edgrrr…

            • Jodi I feel Travis was totally abusive to you. It seems you were trying so hard to please him. Giving him your heart and body. He just took advantage of you to live out his kinky fantasies. Then just threw you aside. I don’t think thts such a great guy. Its obvious you loved him and wanted to be with him. I don’t see how anyone. Would think you premeditated his murder. I believe in your amnesia. Several years ago my ex had ann affair. I was totally devestated. We had two small sons and what seemed a happy marriage. I was completely devestated and had laarge periods of amnesia over two years. I will be praying for you. Carrie

              • Jodi, since, of, a year ago, there were eleven, home invasion, shootings, which you couldn’t have done, either; and, no, report, as to how many, were .25 caliber, bullets; in, Mesa… Edgrrr… Do not, take the hotseat, again; there is no way, you could have done this, and, no way, thr LSD, golden plates, con artists, control the aterlife… Travis’s blood voath, blood atonement, self sacrifice, was exactly, described, in the book, as Anderson, submitted to his, suicide; duped into believing, that he’g gain, his own planet, playboy, full of, virgin, angels, to be rewarded, there, for, what got him, killed for, here on planet, idiot… More proof you did, none of it, the removed license plate, and, the turned upside down, rear one; a proof, of others, at the scane… This, was a community, killing, and, your sacrificial, Joan of vArk, mode, serves, nobody, well; except, the ritual killers, and, the, spastic, hypnonauseating, penguin in a tutu..doing his carnival hypnosis, shucking and jiving, spastic, side show… The fifth amendment was made, for this soap opera, and, you cannot be made to be, hypnotised, again; and, the facts, prove you, did, none of, it;m despite, being convinced that you must be guilty… Sorry, you’re innocent… Edgrrr… Whose, information, forced abandonment, of the D.A., orchestrated, conspiracy, with the medical examiner, and, the defective detective, to, back off, the gunshot, first, to overcome, Travis’s obvious advantage;…???.

            • Jodi,
              Stay tough and hang in there!! Many women are on your side, we all know what you went through. It can be a one sided story and often people do not see both sides!! Do not give up, it may end up better than expected. You are a talented artist, continue with your art and let it be your healing source!!! Much Love!!!

              • Not one Stepford Wife Mormon, has come forward, while, Jodi, fights the battle, against the “When the bishop speaks, the thinking has been done,” egomaniacal, above the law, bottom feeders….. despite the fact that, Travis, left a trail of them, crying like rats eating onions….. and, the A-Clan, is, beyond, certifiability; obsessing, to conceal the killers from the at law, process…. “having information, known only to themselves, and, the police…” Edgrrr….

            • Jodi your beautiful and I wish you the very best. Keep your head up! Hope u appeal the case. Always a real pleasure! One love!

              • I wish you the best. Keep your head up. Be positive and please don’t wish for the death penalty. No one deserves to be put to death. There is always hope. Sent you a postcard hope you get it. Please fell free to wirte. Could always use a writing friend. Stay strong.

            • Jodi please stay strong……I know how terrible it is to love someone and discover that your love has been in vein, not only that but your “love” reveals himself to be unworthy. I loathe this witch hunt and the vile media coverage….do not despair you have people who understand your plight…and there but for the grace of God go I and millions of women who have been used and abused…Jodi remember you are not alone!! I will keep you in my prayers…

          • I agree, Travis and many other men use women and then toss them aside with no regard for their tortured heart and soul. Sex is for marriage only. If society kept to that sacred Biblical principle there would never be another used woman or revenge killing.

            • Again, Dayna, if anyone’s comment should have not been used it’s urs!!
              I’ve, been, used, abused, sexually malested, sexually abused as adult, physically abused, emotionally abused, I GET IT, I UNDERSTAND IT, IM 39YRS OLD!! IT took me a long time, to get it!! I can’t say what I would have done in that moment of being attacted, if gun available, yes, I would have defended my life, HOWEVER, I CALL 911 !! NOT because I did something wrong, but HE DID!! You people speak of GOD, BIBLE, REVENGE KILLING, , yet, you obviously never been in that moment of being in FEAR OF UR LIFE AT A MOMENT, BY THAT (user of women) BEING USED, USING THE OTHER, ARE TWO TOTTALLY SEPARATE THINGS! !

          • hi jodi and team
            i am pulling for you and beleive you are innocent
            please stay strong and we are all preying for you
            you are doing a great job
            this is definitely self defence and Travis was a jerk
            you were also taken advantage of – he knew you loved him
            i am pulling for you
            good luck

          • There is a hormone that women have that causes us to have an intense desire to bond with men in our 20’s and 30’s. It is quite unfair to have that as part of our genetics because we are “programed” by nature to overlook bad characteristics in favor for good ones that we are genetically coded to be attracted to. Economically, men still make more money. Physically, we are the ones that take off time for birthing. These and other social contributors, apply forces to young women that cause us to act against our own interests. I wish you had had the support you needed to step away from this relationship. Few of us have kind of guidance and support. I am a left handed woman with ADD. I know those are small similarities, and, I also know that we have a different way of seeing the world. For myself, I am always surprised that we, as humans, are so ready to pile on when one finds themselves in trouble.

          • So true.. its how well we hide the abuse. I make him look like prince charming to the world…no one knows about all the things he breaks untill they see you after your broken so far beyond fixing. We hid it so well.. its so crule… so very crule.

            • Isn’t that the truth!!! I have been there. I lied when he broke my nose. Also, my black eyes, I hid until I could cover with make up. And so on…. But I didn’t want to look like a fool for being with someone that hurt me.

            • they did make his look like a golden boy. so innocent. my thoughts and prayers are with Jodi and those who love her.

              • I agree!!! Not a fair trail when the media is so against Jodi I am very sad that Travis died but I’m so against the way so many are so happy to see another person die and they think they are so much better then Jodi… Unbelievable
                Jodi I am praying for you and your family…don’t get me wrong what Jodi did was very wrong but what the media and so so many out there are doing cheering and so excited no better..

          • FOR JODI –

            I’M A 71 YRO GRANDMOTHER AND RETIRED PSYCHOLOGIST/FAMILY THERAPIST AND I SEE A YOUNG WOMAN WITH MANY TALENTS AND GOODNESS IN HER HEART AND A DESIRETO LIVE A MORAL LIFE AND THOSE SURROUNDING TRAVIS AND TRAVIS HIMSELF DISCRIMINATED AGAINST HER AND PILLORIED HER, JUST AS THE PUNDITS AND THE PRESS ARE DOING IN THEIR VENGEFUL ATTACKS AND SLANDER DIRECTED AGAINST HER.

            JODI ARIAS IS A SYMBOL OF WHY AMERICA NEEDS A SCAPEGOAT IN ORDER TO ASSUAGE AND DISPLACE ONTO ANOTHER, THE DARKNESS THAT LIVES IN THE HEARTS OF SO MANY.

            STAY STRONG JODI – WE SEE YOUR LIGHT!

            • I have been so interested in your trial because I know that there are many women who know how you feel. I personally know how it feels to know the “real” person vs-
              the person the world sees. My ex-husband was very mentally and emotionally abusive to
              me. In the 70’s & 80’s no one understood this. Not even my parents!! As long as he did not hit me, drink or runaround (like my sisters husband), it was OK! I met him at church. His family was very active in our church too. It was not until we were married that I saw how he really was. My parents thought he was a saint because he did not do anything “bad”. It took me over 10 long years & lots of $ to divorce him. My parents died before his behavior was known as abuse.
              I wish there was a more unbiased TV station that would carry your trial. HLN should be ashamed of their slanted coverage (Nancy Grace & Vinnie P. are the worst!!). On 3/19/13 they showed Travis doing a comedy act at a meeting. If you go to YouTube and see the whole video. it shows Travis not acting at like “Saint Travis”. I don’t care if it was an act. He was not acting like a Christian to me. It seems that everyone has forgotten about the “phone sex” call & texts. I am so glad you saved them! They show the “real” Travis!!!!!!!!!! . I don’t see why the judge does not do something about the prosecutor being so rude. He is mean to everyone, not just the defense!! No wonder he is alone. No one will work with him!
              I think the rape trial in Ohio is another example of how if people think someone is great
              they can get away with ALMOST anything (examples: the Rich & Famous, high school teams, “public” Christians etc.) If the boys in Ohio did not tape , text they may have gotten away with it because they were football players and she was a girl who they said drank etc. It was like Travis vs. Jodi. (It seems like the majority of the time, it is the female that is seen in a bad light). Will society ever change ???????????? I hope it happens soon.
              HANG IN THERE GIRL!! My thoughts & prayers are with you!

              • Not one, of these reasonable doubt issues, was entered into the process, while, printed in, the same computerized process, that, nonpayment of the two million dollar, at law, kidnapping, ransom demand, allowed, the prostitutor D.A. to, use the computer data, against her, without, her right to, also, access, this; just another prosecutoria;l antic, at law, to, embezzle a conviction…..

              • Just signed the petition. . .everyone on the Jodi Team must go to the site and sign. I was 509.Please get busy and sign for her and anyone who wants justice.

              • jodi I believe you are not guilty your friend tom if you read this I will donate money to your fund God is watching you a vietnam vet I am If you ever read this there are so many replies, you have my email or pray to st benedict he will protect you tom ackerman .

          • I wish I could have been a good council for Jodi when she was going through all of this. I am sorry that her Mom or Dad didn’t hear the messages and the things that were being said to her. That someone who loved her could have really been of good and kind council to her. I am so sorry Jodi and I am a survivor also. I will pray for you for Mary to intercede on your behalf with my rosary. I understand the feelings you were feeling, I really do. You have wonderful qualities about you so may your spirit be lifted by the knowledge that you are ok. Deb

          • I do agree, there is always 2 sides to human beings. The one that presents itself in the so called public eye , and than the one you see behind closed doors. I’m in recovery and we call that dr. Jekyll and mr Hyde. Even if the worst scenario happens for you , keep your faith and values , you can be strong in the face of adversity and know that you have support . Your not alone. And god loves you Jodi. Keep your head up and there are thousands of battered woman who understand and we have our arms lovingly around you.

          • I have watched this since the beginning of the trial and i continue to stay informed. I Just completed Juan Martinez book and he does make a convincing argument.One has to admit that Juan can hold the rooms attention. My objectivity has changed several times in the time ive been following. I guess i just kept waiting for Jodi to stand up and say ” He was an asshole and liar and fake so i snapped. Anyone with half a brain could see that he was a real piece of shit and treated Jodi very bad. These men continue to forget that a scorned woman is noone to play with. He played with her emotions, he belittled her and was verbaling abusive and at some point he tipped over the line and that was it. Im not saying he deserved to die but i can certainly understand what happened.
            I iwsh she had been strong enough to walk away. Thats easy for me to say and so very hard to do. Sad story

        • There’s a story about me, I would like to interview her. I have 9 years of working with youth who are traumatized. so I can help her, but I need to talk with her. See if you can make that happen. You got my email. I will rip Travis to shreds.

          • That’s a very lovely and heartfelt post, well done for helping young people who have been traumatised.

          • I hope you can reach them…in time. She needs our help. I am a writing with a special interest in mental and sexual abuse. I was there twenty years ago. It’s so sad. How can they said this was planned? She a girl that loved Travis unconditionally. I would give her 0 time in prison and years of therapy to undo what Travis did to her. They say she is calculating. LOL hmmmm “Im so calculating i went there had sex and then killed him and then left the pictures behind.” RIGHT it was soooooo planned out. That’s a joke. She didn’t plan any of this!!! It’s so obvious, She never had a chance at a fair trial.

            • It was planned, by Travis not Jodi. I believe this is a clear case of suicide by girlfriend. Jodi was used.

        • i agree i hope she is nt put to death. i just hate it for her how the defense witness just made things worse for her. i believe at the end if she says im sorry im going to try to get some help. she never said she was sorry or im working on getting help. she said if im convicted its because of my own bad choices thats telling the jury convict me.she needs jose baez in the mock juror crime scene he gt a hung jury. the prosecutor doesnt let people talk.

        • Jodi,

          Just a few things,
          First of all, I don’t care what actually happened that day with your boyfriend. No one but God you know that. But I am here today to give a gift. To tell you something that probably nobody would say. What your past sins is totally irrelevant. You are not the last person that will be on TV. Not the last person that commits the acts that you have. I just want you to know Jodi, sin and murder has been around since Eve fell and ate that apple. It’s called sin, See people just don’t understand how this God thing works. They think life is all about them but it’s not. God original plan was for us to live in harmony with Him. Since the day Satan fell from heaven nothing was ever going to be the same.
          This world glorifies sin; our sinful lives are all over TV, from sex, to drugs to murder. This society has forgotten what good TV is… (We need more shows like Full House! My daughter loves that show!)
          But Satan has got us hooked on evil. Sin is about evil and evil is about Satan. We have got to understand, if we are going to live for ourselves or for our Creator. Jodi, you still can get to heaven. Child just forget about everyone in the whole world. Let it all go! Confess to God your need for him!
          Seek God Jodi! if you focus on getting to know who he is now, I know you won’t regret it. People don’t realize Christians should be focusing on adding glory to Him and his kingdom!
          In fact, if finding who God is in everyone’s life we wouldn’t have time to give glory to sin. We would give God glory, see this life that has been given to all of us but it’s not about us!!
          God chose to give us all life, and he loves us all. Jesus died for all of our sins. In order to believe in God and Jesus you have to have an imagination and child like faith. You don’t need to worry if you die on death row, or die naturally you can still make the choice to be with God one day.
          I realize all I’ve said is so out-played a million times! But it’s real! It’s actually the only thing that makes life make sense. Without God what would be the point of anything?
          You might ask how you can find God. Well just do this, first confess what you’ve done to God, and ask him to forgive you. Tell him that you need him and you want to know him. Then get a New Living Translation Bible and READ IT!
          And pray to God, tell him whatever you want, your desires your thoughts how you feel, what you need. Prayer is our way to connect with God. It’s like opening up a phone line to his ear. Without it you cannot know God or be in his Kingdom one day.
          Please remember this trial; this world isn’t about us, okay? Yes our sins are our choices and they can lead to death, the bible says that. Don’t let the devil continue to win in your life.
          My last challenge is this Jodi. If you can find some way to give God Glory in this terrible mess than you know you have found him and that you will be in Heaven one day.
          Take Care,

        • Dear Jodi
          I have studied mormonism since 1976 since one of my patients converted-after saying that she wanted a nice life based on the bible after her husband had run off on her.
          I cannot say I make any judgement in your case–however if I may make a few comments as to the above.
          Your a very smart girl.You like honesty and truth,you were indeed in a bad sitaution with this guy.However and why he was killed are not my matter—however as someone who clearly knows the deceit inside the upper levels of LDS.leaders,Id say keep up hope and regardless the outcome dont be bitter or otherwise.
          You may have heard in services or firesides that””as man is God once was—as God is man may become”–well this trite and blasphemous epithet denegrates my God.He is overall and sees eveything.He doesnt have any need for spiritual vegetables as it was stated that he needs to eat.He knows what is going on in China as well as the same time here.He isnt a glorified resurrected man with body parts and passions.Indeed He did become man to redeem us—and had no plan for man made exaltation where you must go to a temple.
          LDS just spent 35million on a temple in latin America here where I live–all the while failing to admoit that God DOES NOT dwell in teples made by man-Acts 17—to be sure,you wont ever have done enough by teple works for 40 years–which isnt diddlesqaut in His eyes.
          Rest in Him for your own personal salvation–do like the Bereans in Acts 17–they searched the scriptures to see if these things were in scriptures.Even the book of Mormon states in Alma 34:33 that”!There is NO work you can do after this life to prepare for eternity”Meaning you cant accomplish anything by vicarious works for the dead in this cold building of stoe.
          Matthew 11:28-30 says to come unto Him-Jesus who will take your burden”God loves you regardless of what happened and you did to defend yourself–trust Him alone for peace and security.
          Ephesians 2:8-10
          Get a bible to read there
          Isaiah 26:3

          DrBob (with ex mormons for Jesus)Be blessed

      • Good luck Jodi I am from Yreka and am rooting for you.. I hope you are able to prove self-defense, Men get away with abuse far to often .. I am sorry this has happened to you. but remember you are one of the lucky ones , mostly abused women are the ones who are killed. Don’t like this Prosecutor either he’s a BIG BULLY ..

        • Jodi, I was attacked by two males who were much much taller and heavier than me, I had just gone deaf and had a bad spinal neck injury and I did have to physically defend myself, but I was the only with any injuries, I sustained bad bruises, badly scraped raw knees from being pushed very hard from behind as I was just walking away and I was able to lock myself in an upstairs bedroom. One of the male assailants was my 16 year old son and I knew he wasn’t in his right mind and was being manipulated by the other male assailant who was 50 years old and I was 49 yrs old (I’m tiny, only 5′ and 97 pounds, deaf and with a spinal injury) and yet I was wrongfully charged and arrested for assaulting the two male assailants because I protected my son (even though he pulled a large knife at me, right in front of the other man and and I knew my son was not in his right mind…for all I know the other man could’ve slipped my son drugs in his soda or food. The 50 yr old man was trying to destroy me and my life, and what I loved most, my relationship with my son…just because I refused to have sex with the older man, he was obsessed with me and if he couldn’t have me than he made sure no one else would either. When the police arrived I was seemingly safe upstairs locked in my bedroom, I did tell the police that the 50 yr old man(who is 6’4 and at least 280 pounds, huge guy) attacked me from behind as I was walking away and that he attacked me with excessive force for it to be an accident, but because I protected my son and didn’t tell the police that my son also attacked me and pulled a large knife on me I was wrongfully accused and arrested(even though if the police would have just looked at my raw scraped knees and the bruises that were beginning to develop, but the police didn’t do their jobs correctly, they didn’t even bother to look at me, and they didn’t even bother to look for the large knife that was in the other room) and had to stay in a very cold, dirty jail cell with no running water and I was deaf. The judge the next day released me on my own merit because he knew I was innocent and had protected my son, the judge even released my son to me in my custody. As it turned out, my son was so heavy with guilt he kept getting sick because he couldn’t eat or sleep and even though my attorney wanted to take it to trial, I plea bargained because it would’ve killed my son, or at least would’ve greatly negatively affected his health and he would’ve lost at least two yrs of his life and school. I played the martyr and took the bullet for my son because it was the lesser of two evils. Now, several yrs later my son is healthy, in his first yr of college, much happier, and he and I are mom and son again. And, the plea bargain I agreed to for my sons’ sake meant I had to lose many rights for a year, and I if I so much as got a speeding ticket I could be put in jail, and I had to pay a lot of money to attend a 26 week counseling course for anger management just to have the fact reinforced that I in fact was the victim and victimized many times by those of authority who are well paid to protect me and look out for and uphold my rights. I easily fulfilled all the requirements and demands the “system” made me submit to because I was the victim and had never been in trouble ever before. I now don’t trust police, attorneys, judges, or even the media because they all can be paid off, or severely negligent (at my expense) as it pertains to their job. I now suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and attend counseling for it. (I was offered FREE counseling for as long as I need) because the “system” knows I was victimized and that I could sue if I really wanted to. The “system” is corrupt; police, attorneys, and even judges can all be bought off. I don’t trust any of them, and for very good reason. on the other hand, I have forgiven my son and told him that he was being controlled and manipulated by that evil older man(which he was) and that my son should never blame himself, that I forgave him and its water under the bridge. I support my son in every way and love him unconditionally. And my son has never been physically abusive to me since. What’s important is that my son and I are recovering very well from severe adversity and that in time it will all just be a vanished memory. While that evil older man will have God to answer to. My son and I both survived and are healing more and more, and so will you. Please consider praying regularly to God for the strength, the words, and the wisdom to carry you through to the other side, I did and He hears you and answers our prayers. Kindly, Grace.

          • I was tired when I wrote my letter to you, Jodi, sorry. I have a correction to make. I was only 39 , not 49. I believe that when someone, (most often females who are abused and bullied by males), sometimes the victim fights back to save her life…I thought I could be killed and you were in a similar situation…Its not uncommon for victims to block it out and aren’t able to remember because that’s the mind’s way of protecting you from very abusive terrible memories. I hope you can forgive yourself for having to defend yourself in a lose lose situation. And, Post Traumatic Stress counseling really does help to heal and get past it. You are beautiful naturally, please remember that God made you to love Him with all your heart, mind, and soul, so anyone who tries to make you do things that make you feel uncomfortable or bad about yourself is no one to be around. You were meant to be respected and loved with your virtue in mind. God bless you Jodi, kindly, Grace.

          • So very sorry to hear you have gone through this, Grace, you sound such a sweet woman and have had to go through so much ((((hugs)))) and much love to you, Heather.

            I agree with there being so much corruption, and in all the services we were taught to have respect for! Its truly shocking. I wish you peace x

        • Hello Jodi,

          I have been following your trial closely. I’m sorry to see what happened to you in relation to Travis. I totally understand how you fell deeply in love with him and how hurt you must have been when he decided to ditch you and go away on a trip to Cancun with another woman. The thing is though, I just don’t comprehend how you came to the understanding that killing him would do any good. I bet if you could go back to that day, you would do things differently. It is so sad to see such a beautiful woman like you, such a wonderful artist, have to spend time in jail.

          I’d really like to chat with you by email one day if you feel up to it. I live in Canada.

          Hugs,
          Linda
          xxx

          • Linda, she kill Travis in self defense , not because he wasn’t taking her to Cancun. I am not the smartest person , but her explanation of how it happen is so easy to understand. So sad people cannot see the truth. I thank God Jodi is alive and well and pray she will be free soon ! ! !

      • JODI, I’M PULLING FOR YOU. I JUST PRAY THAT THE JURY DOE NOT BELIVE THAT THIS WAS PREMEDIATED. I’M TRULY AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY. MY GOD SEE YOU THROUGH THIS . KEEP YOUR FAITH. AND YOU ARE DOING GREAT ON THE STAND. DON’T LET HIM BREAK YOU!

        • the prosecutor hasnt proven premeditation. she needs to appeal her verdict when it comes and hire jose baez he would rip the prosecutor to shreds. he askes questions then talks over the person so they cant finish the answer. she’s so articulate and smart.

          • I think the prosecutor has a chip on his shoulder and has over charged. Who wouldn’t want xtra gas in the desert?. Also, if you wanted to hide the extra gas you could have easily paid cash for it AND if you planned it, you would TAKE the camera. Hopefully things work out for you.
            Wish ya the best

            • Exactly if she planned it she WOULD have taken the camera – dumb ass jurors, this alone would clue in anyone with half a brain. Any layperson could have defended her!!! Jeez!

      • Jodi keep up a stiff upper lip. I know it must be difficult to tell all these things to the world. I know you have to be innocent when I heard Travis tied you up before. I know that when my boyfriend ties me up I have no chance to get free and I have to wait until he’s done or satisfied that he has control of the situation for the evening. And I also know that if Travis had done that to you before he may had not asked your permission as my boyfriend doesn’t always, and I still end up tied and put to bed even if I resist some. He always has the speed and strength to rope me up so fast my head spins and the next thing I know is a gag is coming my way. If Travis is anything like my boyfriend there is no way you could have done what they allege. He would have roped you before anything could have happened. I know cause my two other girlfriends have husbands that are the same way.

        • OH! HOW PAINFUL IT WAS TO WATCH YOU TODAY 2/28/2013. I’M SO HAPPY THAT THIS DAY IS OVER FOR YOU. IT WAS THE MOST BRUTAL THING I’VE EVER WITNESS. BUT YOU HELD UP BETTER THAN I EVER COULD. YOU ARE A VERY BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS WOMAN. NOT MATTER WHAT HAPPENS REMEMBER THEIR ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO CARE YOU. I’LL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

        • This is for Sandra who posted a very nice post to Jodi but Sandra are you serious? Why are you staying with this monster who ties you up get out!!!!! Run for your life!!!!!This is not normal!!!!!!!Save yourself you are the only one who can!!!!

          • I agree!!! Get it documented too. I know how scary it is to call the police, knowing the dick will get out even angrier, but, as you see with our Jodi, shit needs to be documented or he can cause more pain by spinning it his way. Keep control in YOUR realm. Tell everyone if not to go the legal route by police report. I know the hopelessnes, helplessness…I know the fear, the embarrassment…I know it. I am STILL fighting. Nobody is allowed to harm you, my dear. You must realize that, if you do not report one way or another, it is exactly the same as saying ‘I deserve it’ and you don’t. Let’s hope you see this tonight so we can pray together that God watches over weak7yes we shall inherit the earth. Let’s pray to God and thank Jodi for providing this ave. for we women to share stories and fight back.

            Love.
            G

            • Thank you for your replies, I may have overstated my point by distracting from Jodi. My point my boyfriend did these things to me but later we resolved the disconnect by talking about why he did these things and now he is my husband but what my point was is that at the time my boyfriend wanted complete control of me in this way and outwardly to the public he seemed to be so courteous and gentle beyond reproach . But when the doors close men can become something all together. We worked out our issues but I could see defiantly how Travis could have been the same way when I heard of the similarity between Jodi’s and my experience on this point. I can see how quick Travis could have wanted his cake and eat it too. Marriage is the ultimate commitment by giving and receiving in trust and control. Once I found out Travis did these same things to Jodi without any intentions of marriage told me that Jodi knew in the back of her mind that she could have ended up in that situation without the promise of marriage and she may have been sub consciously ready not to be taken like that and knew she would need to defend herself to break away not to end up under his control as he had made her agree to beforehand. There is no doubt Travis was sexually aggressive and when I found out when he had Jodi agree to be bonded in their relationship and for her latter to find out that marriage was not the end plan from Travis tells me she knew she knew she may have to defend herself to get out of the relationship knowing he tricked her into agreeing to something that should have lead to marriage. That’s why I know she is innocent. .

        • Prayers for you, Jodi…my heart goes out to you!! This is the 1st place Ive seen that supports you!!

      • Hi Jodi, I’m sure you are relieved to have the weekend to rest.You have been thru sooo much.I can’t imagine how you must feel,especially since you do apply “The Law Of Attraction” to your life.Just remember this DOES NOT have to DEFINE you.I heard you use the phrase”Defining Moment”. And i understand how you used it on the stand.And you do know that THIS IS NOT WHO YOU ARE.This is just something that has happened,just notice that,don’t judge it. We never know why the Universe allows such things to happen,but we DO know that we can use ALL THINGS for GOOD !!!! You are in my thoughts,prayers all the time.You are beautiful inside and out.Don’t ever let ANYONE tell you that you are less then wonderful.And i know you probablly feel so much guilt,not only for how this ended,but for your friends and family.But please remember that guilt will eat your soul alive.FORGIVE yourself first,thats the hardest thing to do at times,and it will try to show up in your life,but please keep telling yourself that YOU ARE WHOLE AND COMPLETE,over and over,remind yourself that its OK to love YOU.YOU survived this for a reason,and if Travis wasn’t able to kill you,i can’t see the state getting their chance either.You are a ROCK.I’m sorry for rambeling,i just want YOU to know YOUR NOT ALONE !!!!!!!!!!!!! Much love to you Jodi,Brenda

        • Beautifully said !!!!I totally agree! Hang in there Jodi Praying for you constantly!!!!!

        • So warm and heartfelt, Brenda, yes, I want her to forgive herself, Jodi you’re naturally pure inside, please don’t let this tarnish you, you are a lovely beautiful person and I just want you to have peace and love in your life from someone special who DESERVES YOU! They will Have to be Pretty Special! Because you really DO have it ALL xxxx

          HUGS, you are very special and apart from my laptop having a fit (!) right at the time I get the trial video here in the UK, I have watched all the trials since middle January.. I happened to stumble on your case by accident so I missed the first few. You have just been marvellous.

          Much love and Hugs,
          Heather. I am here for you xxxxxx

      • Jodi, I have watched many of the court hearings and must say you are a beautiful, articulate woman who did want she had to do to protect herself. Im in your corner all the way and truly feel in my heart you will be ok.

        • Jodi, I hope you are found innocent…..cause when you get out I GOT YOUR BACK!!

        • doesn’t he look like the product of an anteater and a fucking crow’s sex? He is very abusive and disespectful. No wonder Jodi couldn’t think! Ahh!

      • I think about how terrible you are being treated. You are being persecuted instead of prosecuted. You having to fight the crooked court system, Nancy Grace, and the news reporters. I hate that you are going through all this. I don’t know what happened the day Travis died but I think you really have been abused and I believe you. I wish you God speed and we pray for you.

      • WHY is it ALWAYS “Overruled” for Juan, and “Sustained” for the defense?!! This is NUTS!!! This judge needs to RETIRE!!!
        You’re holding it together WAY better than me! I’d be hauled off, cuffed, and my mouth gagged!!! Juan needs smacked! No wonder he’s single!!!

        • I honestly believe its possible a juror may be tuning in to the trial on tv b/c when the question appeared about Alyce LaViolette smiling @ Jodi @approxiately 11:30am during purple plum testimony I literally screamed @the tv. Also, believe they may have either read her book,handout booklet,or watched her youtube seminar based on about 5 distictive questions they asked Mrs LV.

          Jodi Im praying for you daily-

          As a surviver of a monster that stalked, mentally torturted, burned my thighs w/cigarettette lighter if I screamed, beat me, choked me in front of my 3 yr old, threw him across room, kidnapped me, sexually assaulted me, tied me under pier dock in freezing water-By the Grace of God, I managed to get myself free thinking where was my son. I walked over 1 1/2 miles to find my son hiding and thankful only bruised on the outside but terrible stressed on the inside. 20 yrs later I suffer from CPTSD.

      • Jodi….I know this has been so hard for you…..keep your chin up…..I am sure all will go well. I think under the circumstances your team has done a good job……just be careful anything you say and do….people will be critical. Good luck

      • I to was in a relationship with a very handsome and charismatic man. For 8 years I was physically,mentally and emotionally abused by this man. There were many times I wished he were dead as I could not see myself leaving him. He was very into anal sex. I was told that because I had my children vaginally my vagina was not tight and therefore anal sex was more pleasurable for him. It was all about his pleasure. At one point he was granted guardianship of his 11 year old nieceMany times I walked in on him laying on the floor wrestling and tickling this girl, or her sitting on his lap with her arm around his neck. I told him that this did not look right, and others might get the wrong idea. He told me I was jealous. I finally had had enough and left him.This was in May of 2003. In January of 2004 he was arrested for child molestation The niece had spoken often to her friends about her boyfriend. When it came out that her boyfriend was her 42 year old uncle the police were called and he was arrested. He was found guilty and is now serving 100 years in a prison in Indiana.

      • From my desk at a Psychiatric Hospital: I work in admin, and I’ve been following. Let me just state my own opinion: The sentencing is too harsh, there seems to be extenuating circumstances, many of them. Chiefly, an abusive past, sexual and emotional

        • From my desk at a Psychiatric Hospital: I work in admin, and I’ve been following. Let me just state my own opinion: The sentencing is too harsh, there seems to be extenuating circumstances, many of them. Chiefly, an abusive past, sexual and emotional, and somewhat parental. She has a severe personality disorder, her parent couldve done more, earlier. If they had admitted that, it wouldve helped. they are just so….flat. If Jodi makes the mistake of waiving a (possible) appeal, THEY WILL NOT LET HER REVERSE THAT! It would be a big mistake, shes already served 5 yrs; if she is a model prisoner, although very sick (hint , hint) then after the media circus is allowed to fade, things will change then, and only then.

      • HELLO again everyone!! Keeping up the great work I see.
        I like to look at Jodi”s artwork ,and look for hidden meanings, symbolism she might be trying to say.
        SO< I started with the Law Of Attraction, read about that.
        THEN TYPED LAW OF ATTRACTION symbolism of DOVE, bc the a picture of a DOVE.
        I learned of a story,of a DOVE that had no wings, She was chased by a TIGER EVERYDAY,and couldn't
        get away.
        One day, She prayed and got her wings, and she called out to the TIGER. HE RAN AFTER HER< and her winds , slowed her down, and the TIGER gained speed, wouldn't let the DOVE GO , and the TIGER ATE THE DOVE.
        When she got to heaven , she asked GOD why, did you give me wings only to slow me down?/
        GOD SAID TO THE DOVE , I GAVE YOU WINGS TO FLY < MY CHILD NOT TO RUN.
        LOOK DEEPER at why JODI DREW A DOVE< A TIGER< LOOK IT UP FOR YOURSELF>>LOL<<<<
        I am still trying to learn what the lesson was, bc it was a deep,old tale. I wish I could post it…I will try.
        KEEP YOUR WINGS>>TO FLY NOW!!!!!!!
        MUCH ENERGY SENT YOUR WAY>>>>>>MADELINE< <<<<< { Diva in C.T.}
        ……GOING TO LOOK FOR LINK, I BOOKMARKED IT ,but idk how to share,I am going to try.

      • Jodi, I am 65 and am so sorry you are going thru this. He treated you badly, and you deserve better. I believe the right people are now behind you and one sweet day, you will walk away from prison. Have faith–the wheels of justice move slowly. Hang in there.

      • To Jodi.

        Hi, this is to help you remember to study the scripture everyday and it will help “You” because mind control is word control and the courts love to make up words too control your mind.

        But let God be the one to control your words the truth too freedom is in the Scripture laws.

        I will keep on praying for you with all my heart.

      • I HOPE YOU READ THESE COMMENTS…YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY MIND. HOPE JSUTICE FOR YOU WILL BE PAROLE. MAYBE NOW YOU CAN EVEN GET REAL LETTERS. THEY RETURNED MINE IN DECEMBER POSTCARDS ONLY BULLSHIT. WE ARE OUT HER JODI…WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU. YOU HAVE ALOT OF LOVE OUT HERE. THANK GOD ONE JUROR WAS A HUMAN ..NOT A DEATH LOVING PERSON.

    • After watching court on HLN today, the news folks were screaming about this that or the other thing. Then some big heavyset guy came on with these screaming announcers and he started screaming that he was teaching Travis how to shoot a gun just like a week (i think before) the his death.

      I did not hear all of his ramblings but he was saying that he had been hanging out with Travis, going out with him, and teaching him how to shoot a gun. Also, he stated that he never knew travis to own a gun or any knowledge of Travis recently going out to buy one.

      I have just never seen this ‘gun owning friend’ and why was he not brought up as a witness?

      Just a thought…..

    • I believe in you! I have faith and believe in The Lord that you are innocent, I will continue to pray for you

        • To say that I know what you are going through would be an understatement. Keep up the fight jodi. You are very brave and strong to be able to go through all that horror. I am behind you all the time even when others say terrible things about you. I will be following your trial and praying for you.

    • Jodi, keep up the good job. You are so strong, from being through so much. I have been abused physically, emotionally, and sexually. I understand your pain in those aspects. I support you and wish you well.

      • She brought all of us abused women together, so, for that, we must thank God for that soul. She gave us a forum. The Lord does work in mysterious ways& this time he brought women together. I love you, I love you, I love you all.
        Sincerely,
        G

    • God Bless you Jodi I am so sorry. I know you did not plan this….. I really hate the press. Jodi it was you or him…. I know you did not mean to do it…..God Bless you and I pray for you……

    • you have had a real tough time in your life. i hope that you are found innocent, and that you get some mental health treatment. i support you and your defense team. i am not a prayer guy, but i will be sending you good vibes.

    • I was married to a man very much like Travis Alexander. He had the same body type and was overloaded with testosterone. He was verbally and physically abusive. I took my two children and divorced him after living with him for 13 years. He was scary and I can completely identify with what Jodi lived through. I didn’t have the suffering self esteem that she appears to have. I don’t believe Jodi premeditated this killing. I think she may get second degree murder and have to serve time. Also, she is a very talented artist.

      • I like many battered women in the world believe u r innocent. Why is it when a battered woman fights back its bad, but when a monster abuses is women we ( the woman) is blamed for hurting the monsters who do this to us? ! They can do whatever they want and we can’t defend ourselves? And when we do defend ourselves we r considered murderers? Enough is enough I say!!!! Women r not put on this earth to b body slammed, treated like nothing, head butted, and names that they call us. Jody is innocent and I applaud her !! Keep the faith Jody , keep your head high. I’m pulling for ya :):)

        • Everyone keeps saying how could she do that? Well I know. In that moment in time you are terrified. GUTS! This one has guts! That’s why! She was tired of it and gave him a taste of his own medicine! Too bad he didn’t like it!

      • Jodi: You have now reached a fork in the road. Our God is a merciful one. You really have a talent with Art. This was God’s gift to you. Now give a gift to yourself. Have faith and move into the light. Walk away from the darkness. Make it known to all what Jodi stands for. I truly believe that miracles do happen.

    • Jodi.Ihave walked so many miles in your shoes! My feet hurt I given so much love just as you that my heart hurts. I have spent so many days and hour reliving the why’s that my head hurts. My point being the only thing that can fix us is. Travis was never worthy of your love. I pray you not spend time in prison. I do believe you need counseling.as did I you can be a powerful voice for young women now. We need to teach them to love themseves.only oncewe do that can we find true love in another! It took me many years to find that out. I hipe its doesn’t take you as long! You are bright talented.beautiful and charamatic. Al the qualities a public.speaker needs .you could travel and talk to young woman and teach them jodi.you have soooooo much to offer. I would like to stay in touch no matter the outcome.my prayers will always be good health a happy life for you.to find peace and. love.anr true calling in life l for god to show yoj

      • I pray its gods will you are aquitted. So that you can speak on domestic abuse. You would be a wonderful voice for for women.don’t let the procecutor scare you jodi.remember god is on your side. And once this is ove walk with your head high.people that have neve met you love you dearly.that should mean something.

        • I have written you so many times in my mind. I just want you to know you are LOVED and BELIEVED. And you are not alone. And your family is LOVED also. All will be WELL.

    • Jodi,

      God is with you! I wasn’t believing your story until I heard you tell it! You are the first defendant that I applaud for deciding to take the stand! Brilliant decision! When you tell the truth, there is nothing to dispute! You have Martinez spitting all over himself! Prison’s are overcrowded in this country because of BS prosecutors and St. Atty’s that want to burn innocent people at the stake. But, people that truly are a danger to society get the chance to go out here and commit the same crimes over and over! I am so tired of hearing about what a angel Travis “appeared” to be! Nobody is perfect!

      • Never truer words, jpope, Jodi IS very brave. I am willing her aquittal, she Has to come out of this nightmare. Thoughts travel and I send them to the court at every Hearing..

    • Dear Jodi, you have my SUPPORT ALL the way. No matter what happens I still believe in you. Keep the faith. You did great during the cross examination! Good JOB

    • I enjoyed my finger playing softball and the arthritis didn’t say im for probably 9 months to a year later and that’s when it became a crooked not right after the injury so her finger may not have been cricket right after the injury so that would explain why it wasn’t in the photo but is now

    • dearset jodi, i’ve followed your case since day one in 2008, i always felt you were a victim in some way. all thew the years i could never forget your beautiful smile and knowing in those bad times in durango how lonely you must have felt, i sent you a post card to get your sprits high but it was returned. so now in 2013 im evan more intreged on how your case is going i feel that it’s well and you will see the true light of our god he will protect his beautiful child as he has done with me.my heart and prayers go out to you jodi my sister in christ sincerly luis hetzler hugs for you

    • hey jodi,
      Travis never mentioned me but I know about him and I am behind you all the way. I wish you all the success I support you all the way and hey I would like to meet you when all of this is over

    • To jodi and her defense . I think you have been doing a great job, however I see this art of war stuff on your site and if that’s your defense going forward , I don’t think its going to work.foighting with the the prosecutor is a bad.idea. Ithink jodi needs to show her emotion. She needs to pull all that scared.little girl out of her and let the jury really see once and for all what men like her father, travis and this bullying prosecutor do and did to her. Let her fall apart on the stand , break down.shake cry, sob whatever it takes. God knows it will probably feel good in the end and make him look like a total ahole in the end

    • Hi Jodi! we’ve all been watching your trial live on HLN. You are doing so great facing down that poison dwarf prosecutor. I know its tough for you right now because they are confining you, but I’m confident some or all of the jury will not want to punish you any further.
      sending all MY LOVE and thoughts for YOU! Stay strong for all of us.
      Wishing you every good thing! Bryan Scott

      • Dear Jodi, I have your back,
        Stay strong & don’t break under
        pressure. I think you’re so beautiful
        & cute. I think you’re doing a fantastic
        Job on the stand, keep it up!
        ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Rob

    • Just like i knew it was absolutely ridiculous to accuse Amanda Knoxx and her boyfriend of randomly killing her new roommate Meridith, I had the immediate feeling about your guilt. I first saw you on 48 hours mystery 4 years ago. I discussed it extensively with my co-worker. What made me convinced the most was your model like mug shot . It was if you did do it then you were complete sociopath or just could not conceive that you had done such a thing. . It wasn’t even a picture of a mourner that someone would put in people magazine. From the very first interview with his friends, and the hypocrisy of how proud his brother was to have a 30 year old virgian for a brother I knew that he had driven you to temporary madness.
      I was very angry at the prosecutor continually asking about how you dressed. And peoples comments about how you died your hair. Had you stayed a blonde either your roots would grow out making you look unkempt or if you continued to die your hair they would label you a princess. I want to make a comment on memory loss and scrambled thinking. Myself and my two sisters were all the products of sexual abuse as children. I am the youngest. I remember everything from age 3 years on. My middle sister is two years older than I am and she remembers nothing. The eldest is two years older than her, and she has the scrambled mind. My mother has selective memory. I told her when I was in my twenties and she said ” I had a feeling something like thAt was going on.” A year later she doesn’t remember me ever telling her. I feel guilty because I live in Arizona and I received a jury summons.
      do to a condition called Misophonia, I had my doctor write a letter to excuse me. I hope it was not your trial, for I am very stubborn and no matter i everyone hated me I would hold out. you are holding up well. I want only the best outcome for you. If this does not happen you will not be forgotten. Many of us will write you, send you books and things you need until we can get you out of there.
      Take Care,
      You have many people on your side,
      Donielle

    • Jodi do not doubt do not fear nor do not disbelieve for one second that you are not believed! There are MANY MANY people who LOVE and SUPPORT you, including myself!! I sit home as a young college male with friends who BELIEVE you!! The media is trying so hard to break you down and break your spirit-do not let them win!! They are JEALOUS of you because you are young and beautiful!! I am praying for you and believe it or not because of you I am PRAYING again!! BELIEVE you are FORGIVEN and HEALED and allow the HOLY SPIRIT to Reveal who The Lord is!! The Lord is for you Jodi!!

    • You are braver than you believe and stronger than you might think!! I pray to Jesus he gives you courage and DELIVERANCE!! God is WITH YOU Jodi ALWAYS!!!! You have opened my eyes to DV and the effects it has on women!! You were sent on this earth with a purpose to GLORIFY him first and restore people’s faith in The Lord, I believe that with ALL MY HEART!! GOD will REVEAl to the JURY that you are indeed a CHANGED and GOOD human being!!

      • Jodi I want to bless you with a song in my language Malayalam, it is called Kannuneer Thaazhvarayil. I don’t know why God chose this song to reveal it to you but it was revealed to me when you sang Oh Holy Night. You have a beautiful voice and spirit Jodi!! Do not fall for Satans traps!! God is WITH YOU and your family!!!

    • They don’t stop hammering you about your memory. I don’t understand what kind of smarts Martinez has. Your past skills as a waitress most likely trained you to be able to remember details… Also, emotional abuse scars from a past-time can stay embedded in the human mind forever. And also, since you are of an artistic nature, Jodi, “details” and visualizing the past helps you in your creativeness today.
      Your parents are proud of you.

    • jodi will be ok…come to jersey when this is over…i will take care of you….these people are crazy…leave her alone…the prosecutor must not have a sex life because he keeps talking about hers….if he really cared about doing a good job he would stop talking about the sex stuff……it shows he has nothing going for his case.

    • don’t let this martinez prick throw you. he has spent a large portion of his life figuring out how to get someone executed. yes, a true example of a compassionate human being. his task is to get a group of people to say “this person deserves to die.” gotta love this asshole.
      when you r on the stand, remember to breathe deeply. take at least 2-4 deep breaths, try to relax, and remember that you have your defense team, your family, and your supporters–i have never done this before. any and every break that you get, and before and after, try to take some minutes to close your eyes and breathe. give yourself permission to relax. people can see that this guy-j. martinez-is a prick.
      make it a goal to get through this. and please remember to breathe.
      i will be sending you positive and healing vibes.

    • Jodi,

      Hang in there! It has been a hard cross examination however, you got this! Hang in there! This too shall pass. Jesus loves you and it is His will that will be done! The State is acting so righteous that I am ready to puke! No one is perfect and all they are doing is dwelling on things that make no nevermind! Don’t let him draw you in on the little things! He is not proving anything but that he hasn’t a case against the truth! Travis wasn’t in this relationship alone! And he wasn’t the little angel they are trying to portray him as! Hang in there! Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world!

    • Jodi, Stay strong young Lady. I can’t imagine the pain, frustration, and struggle you have been going through. Just remember that the World is not against you, although I’m sures it feels that way. All My love and best wishes to you. Sending good vibes your way and justice will prevail. I’m behind you intently. Keep going strong and can’t wait to see you breathing free air again. Best wishes.

    • Jodi,

      God loves you more than words can say. Christ Jesus is with you.
      Tough times have come to you, but shortly tough times will come to all.
      Christ begins his Kingdom May 19, 2013.

      With Love,
      I am

    • Jodi
      I’m on your side!! Enough is enough when it comes to manwhores using and abusing women. Thanks for being brave and standing up for yourself!! Thanks for setting an example for all of us women who’ve been kicked punched and kept a secret!!

    • as i watch this unfold on tv im thinking to myself we know who did it right?we know when it was done right?we know where it happened right?but we dont know why …….i mean really why right….so we can only speculate as a audience on why it happened but those are not facts….is she guilty of murder…absolutely…but is it self defense ….my personal feeling says yes because of the defense strategy … im hoping it was self defense for her behalf cause it seems a insanity plea would fit better…however if she loses the case blame the defense counsel for going with self defense …

      • jodi i just want to tell u i am with u all the way. i donated some money to u to help u out a little bit . i think u are doing a good.i like the way u put asshole martinez in his place.hang in there and i hope everything works out for u.i like ur defense team they are pretty cool. nancy grace is a real bitch.she dont know shit.neither does that dumbass dr.drew.i like ur artwork if i had the money i would buy someyu are a good artist and a pretty one at that. i like ur boy gus he got ur back all the way. hang in there jodi.theres alot of supporters out there for u.i hope u dont get the death penalty.gotta go for now jodi.good luck.

    • Man, I’m really trying to figure what your guilty of. Whatever the case God is with you and will never leave you. Pray daily because His mercy and grace will follow you all your days. Praying for you and your family.

    • Jodi, I was once that guy who was different behind close doors and a womanizer. I hurt so many woman and as I look at your situation I find it hard that the world can’t decern what happen to you that day. I wish you the best and most of all good luck on your trial.

    • JODI.. keep you cool on the stand. This has to be frustrating having urn whole private sex life. I was in a violent relationship and I also had a diary.. I never wrote about the abuse. Just because you didn’t write it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen! Most domestic violence relationships the abused person doesn’t tell anyone about the abuse out of shame. The prosocuter is trying to break you down.. pick u apart.. to bring out ur faults. Don’t let him push your triggers. Dont let him take ur words out of context and and use urn frustration and combativeness against you. He is trying to show the jury urn faults. Think before u speak.. bring a pad write down the questions thatare being taken or of context. That ur not able to answer because he won’t let u answer them the way u want.Your in my prayers.

    • Jodi, you are holding up the best that you can. I am praying for you, and I am very proud of you for taking the stand. I hate that you have to sit there and listen to this man hound you as if he has a clue about you or Travis for that matter. I was abused and was lucky to get out of it, and now I am a whole new person. I can see that in you. I am sorry others will take your over coming as you being a smart butt, or un caring person. I do not know what all has happen in your life, but I pray that now you know you have a value, and you never have to be someones second choice and take the stuff you went through. And not only that, but stay away from those types of men. Keep letting God lead you, you are not alone on that stand he is right there in you, all around you. God Bless

    • As I don’t have television in my home, I first heard about this case a week after the trial started. I made the decision to avoid all media reports and opinions about the case. I have since watched every minute of the trial to date online. I BELIEVE YOU! There are many signs of battered woman’s syndrome that are evident to me. I also don’t understand why there has been no professional psychologist to testify in this case. You have proof of every word you have said about Travis. I also understand you wanting to protect HIS image above helping yourself. That is an important factor to me in this trial. At this point, I don’t understand how any human could convict you of 1st degree murder. I have yet to locate the specific jury instructions for your case, but don’t believe the judge is allowing the BS from the prosecutor. As far as the “memory issue”, I’d like to ask him what he was doing on July 10, 2007, in detail, most people can not recall specifics unless there is an important marker for that particular event. Stay strong, keep your head held high, and my prayers and thoughts are with you! (Even if there is a conviction, there is more than enough information for several different appeals, that could have the conviction overturned, it isn’t over, until it’s over)

      • As if no one seen that coming I guess the only murders in Arizona are cruel can’t believe this crap A new trial needs to be put forth and soon as this circus is over.theses jurors watched all the media coverage and the fact he was a mormon as most of them are she was fucked from the get go if you listen when the judge asked if this was their verdict juror 1 said it so low some of the jurors were bullied into the verdict mark my words that will come out soon Keep your head up God can only judge you

    • Hi jodi I’m nick recently from chicago liveing here in phoenix arizona I’m nobody special just want u to know I stand with u and belive in ur innocence much love. To u and know I’m always praying for u daily

    • Thought you did wonderful today at trial. Great job keeping your composure against Martinez. His ego is large but fortunately your will and strength is immensely larger. I’ll be watching intently (on dvr) after work, rooting for you and continuing to send nothing but extreme positivity your way from here in west Texas. Fight the good fight Jodi. All my best to you tomorrow and throughout. Stay strong.

    • Dont get me wrong here about what I am going to say to you..I personally dont care much for Mormons either with their precarious ways and the reading of a second book other then the Bible itself but why did you go back to his house and kill him? Why? He was a piece of S$%#^%$ and you had your whole life ahead of you. Plus you are very good looking. You had a whole life that you could have made with someone that was worth your time. Instead you sought to go after this piecce of garbage and end your life in the process as well. There are so many other guys that could have treated you well and helped you get passed your abusive past. YOu choose to go the violent way out. Look I cant judge you only God can Judge you in the end. We are all sinners and we all have our things Sins we have done in the past. So only God is truly going to forgive you for what you have done. I do got to hand it to you though your doing very well in the trial you are very good at keeping your composure which to be honest your throwing the prosecution for a loop. EIther way in someone way or other we all pay for our sins..Its just the way it goes…God Bless you and just stick with the truth..You have nothing to lose now.

    • Jodi,
      I started watching this trial convinced from the media that you were 100% guilty and even worse. I have now formed my own opinion of you. You have been through so much and I believe that you killed in self defense. Watching the media drives me insane! Are they watching the same thing I am? How can anyone respect this Martinez guy who is basically bullying you. I can’t believe the things he thinks you should remember, such as specific minutes of the day when you walk through a door! C’mon! His tactics make him look like a complete jack ass. I applaud your strength on the stand! I am routing for you.
      Michelle

      • Oh yeah and anyone with a brain knows that Nancy Grace is an arrogant, rude, bag of hot air. I never listen to her, but your nay sayers are many. It seems everyone on the In Session pay roll is routing for Juan Rudetinez! Just know that the burden is on him! Proof without a doubt is on that little barking man to prove.

        • I have slowed down going to the insession wall. Jodi I know you loved Travis but today juan is tryying to get you to giggle and smile don’t do it. stay on your feet

    • Jodi, You are beautiful and innocent! I can not wait ’til we meet again. I hope all these games stop soon. I love you and you know it. 🙂

    • Jodi you are doing SO GREAT on the stand. The prosecutor is coming across as an angry, petty little man.
      NO doubt the jury will come down in your favor.

      Love and Good wishes to you-

      Bryan Scott

      P.S. some of the recordings you’ve made reveal what a generous and beautiful person you are.

    • My question is what happens when Jodi regains her memory and says Travis continued to pursue her with further threats to kill her and she obtained the only weapon available to her laying on the bedroom dresser which had earlier been brought up from the kitchen to cut the rope for sex play and she used that knife to stop what she perceived as an unstoppable mad man and she didn’t tell anyone right away because no one would believe this about a good Mormon boy because of his public image.

    • I support Jodi. She is obviously innocent and killed in self defense. She lied because she was scared. I mean she just killed someone. how would anyone else react.

    • Oh jeez. Lemme first first start this by telling you how much respect I have for you. I know the pressure your under is incomprehensable. I to was in your shoes 10 years ago, Ive delved in the form of public opinion, and know how much it can influence media/jurisprudence. Stay strong ms. Support from mass. goodluck

    • Jodi ~ Hang in there Chicka! You are gonna make it!!!! God knows the truth!!! Stick to the truth!!! 🙂 Your doing great!!! Loves and hugs!!! There are people that believe you and know what a sham of a trial this is!!! Why can’t they just accept that you were a victim here too!!!

    • dear jodi,
      goodluck with the trial. i hope u stay strong nd dont let ur nerves get 2u..
      Endure the Storm 4 a little Longer, when 2mrrow comes ,you’ll BE EVEN STRONGER. take care,im a supporter – Rio Lorena- =]

    • Hi jodi! I’ve been watching your trial, all day, everyday. It doesn’t matter how confident, beautiful or strong you are. There’s always someone stronger and wiser and able to manipulate you. And there are good times in all relationships! No one would stay if someone constantly was belittling and hit every single day. We all hold on to the good things. I entirely relate to you, Jodi. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

    • Jodie Hi So sorry for what happen to you and what your going threw. I understand as I was abused my whole life as a child , Parents, Brothers, Boyfriends, spouse and took me 50 years to even admit it to myself I never wanted others to know only good about me. Martinez is so wrong about so many things right Stay strong your doing good. I’m praying for you. Back when I was a single young Mom , My parents moved out of State and I begged them Please take my little brother he was 20. My dad said were moving to get away from you. I said I don’t want to go just please take my brother . It became my job to get home back fourth to work . his laundry and every other need. Being stuck with him my planed vacation I was to fly but instead drove taking him. one night sitting on bed door shut I was holding my baby giving her bottle when he smashed in no warning , we had never has a fight nothing. He had beer bottle in one hand a fist in other he used on me. I was scared and shocked bending over my baby to protect her. I knew he’d never leet me near a phone so I quietly try to sneak to my car holding my baby her snowsuit diaper bag slipped into my car locking doors fast with my baby on my lap. I thought I could drive to end of street put her into car seat and go for help, No cell phones then, within second while my baby on my lap there was glass everywhere. My brother had smashed drivers window and fron window glass going all over myself and baby. My life at times so unbelievable it should be in a movie. People that have never gone threw abuse don’t understand. I pray Jodie for you .

    • JODI…OH MY WOW…..YOU HAVE GOT TO BE EXHUASTED.YOU KEEP UP THE FIGHT.IF TRAVIS WASN’T ABLE TO TAKE YOUR LIFE THAT DAY,THEN I JUST CAN’T SEE GOD ALLOWING THE STATE. AT A SOUL LEVEL I FEEL YOUR PAIN,AND I AM PRAYING FOR YOU.KEEP THE FAITH,DON’T ALLOW THIS TO BREAK YOU DOWN.ALLOW THIS TO BE A TOOL TO BE A MORE POWERFUL,AND MORE STABLE WOMAN. YOU ARE LOVED……….BRENDA

    • Jodi, hang in there. You re doing a great job! Martinez is frustrated. Freedom will soon be yours.
      Former Az state prisoner

    • Miss Jodi,
      I cant fathom the situation you are in. I’ve watched your entire trial ,work permitting ,and have run the gamut of emotions. I believe in you and your words with all my heart. I’ve had friends who were victims of abuse, both physically and emotionally and much of it (if not all) was kept hidden from those if us that cared for them. Just because abuse is kept secret doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. All my love, thoughts, and goodness is directed your way. Stay strong, try to get some rest this weekend. You’ve had a tough go at it darlin’ and you must keep fighting the good fight come Monday. Many of us still support you whole heartedly. I have heard nothing that will change my feelings. Goodnight Miss Jodi, may our love flow over you immensely.

    • Jodi –

      The media was certainly poised to watch you crumble under this “skillful prosecutor”, Juan Martinez. It was clear to me during your direct examination that not only would you NOT crumble, you would stand your ground even under JM’s combative style. You have done more than stand your ground: you’ve remained poised and refused to cave in to his over the top badgering ~ you’ve made a complete fool of him! You hang in there, girl, and keep telling the truth.

      After hearing all you’ve had to say so far, I am 100% convinced that you acted in self-defense. I cannot help but believe one or more jurors will agree with me. Rooting for you and praying for you!

      A Supporter

    • I want ms arias to know that she has a friend in LA that totally supports her and is there for her if she needs anything. I plan to send her some words of wisdom and located the info to put money on her books but I’m praying that she will be free to live the life god intended for her. I hope she has found some woman that can protect and nurture her and avoid the negative drama and hatred but unfortunately that seems to be all she seems to be facing looking at the rather unattractive faces of mr Alexander’s sisters. He obviously got the looks in the family. It was so difficult watching Jodi’s beautiful face welled up with tears. Your holding up great and make sure to connect with the eyes of the jurors especially when they exit. Also don’t face the negative and toxic people in the galley or Martinez straight on. You don’t want to absorb their energy so face them at an angle and it will deflect their yucky vibe.

    • I am writing a book about this trial. Is there a email address I could correspond with Jodi at, AFTER this trial is over? I know this is a stressful time for her so I would love to get hex take and her words. Thanks!

    • take in all the love you can. Last night I dreamed my mom was somewhere with my dad and I was terrified he would hurt her”. I was a witness of domestic violence. It takes time for these feelings to rise to the top so we know some of the underlying issues that drive us. take care of yourself and let the colors bubble up in your art and heal your heart.

    • I am a personally dedicated daily follower of the Jodi Arias trial. My message to Jodi is I believe you killed Travis Alexander in self-defense. I am so sad for you, Jodi, that this all happened to you, the way it did. Bad things happen to Good people, every day and you are a victim!!! Bless your heart… I will continue to follow the trial and support you – Jodi. You seem very calm and patient with the thing called Martinez, hammering at you on the stand. You hang in there!!!!!
      I wish I had your calmness – you have taken too much from Martinez and his nasty mouth and mannerisms. Again, hang in there girl!!!!
      -Dedicated Follower~~

    • Support here for Jodi…..praying for her to prevail!! I would love to purchase one of her sketches, can you help me or email a link so I could buy one. Thanks a bunch, <3 to JODI …..ROBYN ; )

    • rest well this weekend jodi. i believe that next week will be better. my thoughts are with you

    • It is very hard to find ways to leave messages in this web site, so may i leave a message here for Jodi? I hope you dont mind, this web site is weird.

      Jodi! I hope you can read this!

      I think the abuse that you suffer was more emotional because you wanted more and he just wanted sex i have been there
      . The issue to me in your case which involves all of us it is this
      many women are not loved then we become vulnerable to users like Travis
      we become desperate for the love of the dad and attention we never had. I feel sorry for the abuse and horrible
      life you have to endure at the hands of the prosecutor and and jail and for
      Travis as well, he is a victim of his need for sex in an oppressive culture that did not give him
      the awareness to validate his inner wisdom to be skeptical your obsession with him.

      Jodi i have been obsessed with men as well fortunately i have found art, writing, music, dance and reading
      to focus my passions and turn my insights into solutions for my problems
      but when we dont have an inner life, and caring family, then a man can become out total focus
      and that is what happen to you right? I dont have a caring family so i identify with you a lot.
      Take care.

      • I meant to say “If we dont have social support and an inner life based on some kind of passion men can become our total focus given we were not loved by our parents at least that is what i got it from listening about your childhood.

    • I just want Jodi to know that so many people are out here watching the coverage and praying for her. I am disgusted by these so called professionals who think they have her pegged as a psychopath and the prosecutor who clearly has a Napoleon complex. I can understand the pain she went through not only trying to keep her relationship with Travis but also after she realized what had happened. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Travis supporter, but I feel horrible things ended the way they did. I also can understand that something horrible transpired that day that ended in tragedy. I feel awful that she didn’t have someone there to prevent this from taking place. When I hear her testimony I can hear word for word events I myself went through as I was in a horrible relationship where I was used even though my heart was completely filled with love for a man that clearly didn’t deserve it. I stand by my opinion of Jodi that I don’t believe for a minute that she meant to cause Travis harm. I see a woman who is torn apart having to see pictures or hear details of what happened that day. And I will calmly read and ignore the hate mail I receive from strangers because I purchased Jodi’s beautiful artwork. I pray for her and hope for the best for her and her family. They, and Travis’ family, have been through enough. Putting Jodi on death row would not make anything better in my opinion. Stay strong Jodi, I am watching the trial and pulling for you.

    • jodi stay strong,its not your fault you were pushed to the point of snapping.you didnt deserve that…!

    • Dear Jodi

      I lived with a Man that was the VP of a Church Board, and everyone thought he was something he wasn’t. Later he has sex with his step-daughter when she was very vulnerable, and had lusted her in her youth.

      People can’t see pedophiles what what they are, and I also lived with someone that would blow up over their stuff and perfection in a moment. It is clear Travis has a HORRID childhood, and leftover crap to deal with.. He used you for it..

      I went out and looked over you and Travis’s MySpace stuff from before this all happened, it is CLEAR he is FULL of himself and advertising for women. I think he liked the dual role he was playing.

      If anyone was a master at pulling the wool over people’s eyes.. it was Travis.. Manipulating and using women. He surely used Jodi. And Jodi surely loved him.

      I also know about the not acknowledging things because that will make them become manifest, and how that law of attraction is supposed to work, and how you would not put any energy into the ugliness you might have seen in Travis, or what you wanted to have with that relationship. .

      It’s also clear from the history in those pages, that you were already a spiritual person before you met Travis, and he pulled you toward HIS faith.

      I don’t know what all happened there. I wish you’d remember it.. I know how it is to lose a section like that. It happened to me when my house burned. It also happened after a car accident where I was completely disoriented and things seems disjointed for most of three hours.

      I can understand freaking with a knife on the floor or something. I can also easily imagine the gun shells rolling around from all the activity.

      What are they saying? That this man, just sat there and let you stab him to death, and then shoot him, and then you drug him all over the place and back to the shower? What is is they are trying to say you did? That’s nuts that even with a knife him being a kick boxer would not be able to overpower you and take it from you? I took a knife from a girl about your size one time, and she was in a bi-polar rage at the time.. I got cut a bit on my hand, but I got the damn kinfe! Are they saying he couldn’t?

      My God if you preplanned it, it seems it would have been easier to shoot him in the face then he opened the door.. turn around and leave!!

      Why all the crap? I don’t get what they are trying to say you did? Does anyone els
      e see what it is they are trying to say transpired? Hell he could have just held her by the wrist!

    • I feel for this young lady…I can tell that TA only wanted her for sex and made if very clear that when others where around that she was nothing more than an acquantince! Jodi was mentally abused , she was made to believe he wanted her and she fell hard for him…but who wouldn’t have he seemed like the charmer! Ta was a master manipulator to the fullest! You can tell by the way Jodi speaks that she has been beaten down time and time again! I hope she recovers from this horrible ordeal and can go on and live a normal life and find someone that treats her like she is a princess and not some trash like TA did she deserves so much more! Good Luck girl we are supporting you 110 percent!

    • just want to tell u jodi, to keep strong nd have faith, ,.im tired of people saying ur the bad one no1 should be judging u,, i knw travis wasnt such a good boy as people think he may have been, theres alot of guys whom look so sweet but in reality they have a darkside.nd there”the devil in disguise”. i hope people can see that u were also a victim, nd u suffered from abuse also, verbally nd sexually,mentally. nd behind close doors he disrespected u, . nd i believe he was a hipocrite. anyways,.. stay strong while on trial nd keep ur head up ,im a supporter .

    • I am also supporting you Jodi!! I have been watching everyday, and would like to help in anyway I can such as donations as well as housing we have been collecting funds here in Ohio where I live and will send them to sj or whomever you prefer!

    • I am a adamant Jodi supporter… I would love to offer some financial support and purchase a art piece from her PLEASE.. after my first request for this i noticed that this request probably has to be moderated due to people trying to block her from being able to raise money, i assure you I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE!!! I whole heartedly support this young lady…I dont have alot of money but I want to do what I can. Thanks and you can email me a response if you would like to.. Much love Robyn

    • Stay strong Jodi. You are a survivor of abuse and abused women around the World should admire you for fighting back.

    • As a woman who has worked with victims of domestic violence..I GET IT..I believe you did what you did because you had no choice. or at the very least you felt you had no choice..God is good…and you need to read these comments or at least be told about them..because people exist that believe you..and all you need is just one juror who sees things the way I do..and I am not a stupid woman by any stretch..god bless and have faith..

    • You are a charming intelligent young lady. I feel you were maybe too trusting at times and you ran into situations that made it easy for people to take advantage of you. It seems like you desired a sense of community and wanted to put down some roots. Your intentions were good and pure, Jodi. I wish just one of the people in your life at the time had the courage to step up and say something about the abuse you endured. You are in my thoughts, as I am very invested in this case. I am concerned about you, Jodi. The thought of you taking your own life after fighting so hard to keep it…I know there is a reason you are still here. Stay strong.

    • I Believe you.. the Strongest Evidence that this was NOT PREMEDITATED WAS you left the CAMERA AND memory Card behind…that means no premeditation it is the most incriminating was the camera and pictures

    • Hi,

      I am praying for you daily. It is my hope you find some sense of peace when the trial is over. Remember, the only real conclusion to anything in life is the one you choose, not the consensus of the majority. I would consider buying one of your art pieces, have whoever appropriate contact me via included email. Stay strong and may the Lord watch over you. Best.

    • hello jodi, have a good day @ court,. and dont let ur nerves get the best of you,stay calm nd focus.nd have faith .evrything will work out 4u. take care- rio lorena-(from Chicago)

    • I believe in you Jodi. You are very innocent and the world will know it. I do wish you lots of luck and I hope for an acquittal.

    • We believe in you. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Once when WW11 was being fought in England, Dion Fortune and a group of supporters got together and all of them thought and prayed at the same time, they were all of one mind that England would not be defeated. England was not defeated.
      As supporters of Jodi let’s do the same!! Jodi, you will come through this.Supporters, let’s do the same! Every evening at 8:00PM lets send up good wishes and prayers for Jodi.

    • Hi Jodi….You were fabulous today the way you fielded the questions from the jury. You left the HLN anchors and legal pundits twisting in the wind. Don’t alter what you are doing. The latest HLN poll shows you are gaining with people who support you—up eight percentage points in just one day.
      Hang in there.
      Bill Corcoran, Chicago, corkcol@aol.com

    • why doesn’t jodi or attorneys say it could not be Pre Meditated Murder Because she wouldn’t of left the Camera with the memory card in it that can show the incriminating pictures and her in the scene?

    • I think Jodi should be found not guilty of murder. She’s as much a victim of the disastrous relationship as Travis. She appears to have been very loyal to Travis, but her loyalty was not returned. She should not have done what she did, but the killing was not premeditated, in my opinion.

      I hope Jodi will be found innocent, and I believe she will.

    • JODI,
      i hear everyday how people badmouth u and say suc horrible things when i know exactly how u feel and how it is to be the “bad guy”. just know we r here to support u. ive been trying to get the info to write to you but no luck. im going to write to the site manager.here. im sure ud like to just have a normal conversation for once… keep ur head up! <3333

    • Jodi,
      Best wishes to you – whatever happens do not put your faith in people or false doctrines. Only put your faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Do only what the Bible says and you will have eternal life. God will do what is best for you. All of us only have a very short time on this earth. P.S. Have high self esteem and do not let anyone use you ever again.

    • Jodi,
      my name is Michael and I’m from Rhode Island and I support you and I understand what you’re going through. my prayers go out to you and your family. I know that your lawyer is doing a real good job for you. and I wish the news media was stop betraying you as someone evil. I wish there was something I could do to ease the pain that I know and understand,, that you’re going through. I have been through abusive relationships in my past and can relate to exactly what you went through. Jody just try to stay strong and no even someone in the smallest state(rhode island) is in your corner for support…………michael

    • Jodi,

      I believe in you. I do look forward to seeing you acquitted or at the very least charged with a lesser crime than first degree. To me you answered all those jury questions correctly. Good luck on the stand. If you need a friend to talk to, i’m here for you. You deserve better than what Travis gave you anyway. You deserve to be treated with respect and Travis never gave you any of that. You are a guardian angel that’s for sure. I’m from PA and I do hope one day I get to talk to you.

    • You have my full support Jodi, you keep your head up and be strong. Don’t let them tear you down. I am not saying that it was right, but i also do not feel that you are that type of person Life can be crazy at times. God bless girl and be strong.

    • I keep hearing there is a juror, a female sitting in the front row, the one close to Jodi, will not look at her. Just wondering if that is true, and if so, has Kirk, Jodi, or anyone else taken note of it ?
      Jodi, you have done a WONDERFUL job! I’m conservative, Life Member of the NRA, and I believe you! I hope you are released! All these Mormon “men” bashing you….. Naaaah! They’re afraid of their wives! Of course they’re NOT going to come out and say, O YEPPERS!! She’s HOT in front of them! Aaaaagh! And the wives bashing! You’re a 11, and they’re jealous! Period! Look over that High School crap! You’re better, and they can’t stand it! Travis messed up, NOT you!
      I’m on your side Jodi! Keep your head held high, and know, you are Gods precious child! If God be for you, WHO can be against you? You’re in the valley for a reason, but remember God IS there with you, and He promises NEVER to leave you! (Footprints in the sand – please read it)
      One more thing….. Please read about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the Book of Daniel (KJV Bible)
      Love ya Jodi!
      Missy*

    • I have watched from the beginning. I am Team Jodi and pray that the jury doesn’t believe the half truths and inuendos of the state. Hang in there, Jodi. Truth will prevail. God Bless

    • Dear Jodi, I wish you the best! I wish you win!
      I understand how hard it is. Please, hang in there… Believe in your self, we believe in you! You can do it!!
      Hey, after all, you are not doing just for your self – you are defending other battered women;)
      We know you are tired, we understand. You were strong all this time. Stay strong! You will be ok!
      Praying for you!

    • hi Jody
      keep you the good fight – i am all for you – as an abused person, i know what you are going through
      please stay strong, you will overcome all this, it was very wrong what Travis did to you, and his family sitting there smirking just makes me sick, i feel so bad for you, and hope there is something we can all say to help you through this. it is so true that you do not remember the harsh abuse, i can not remember either, even to this day, i can not remember – so it is completely normal for you to have blanked this abuse out. i have also studied the law of attration – abraham hicks did a lot of tapes on it, if you want to play them for the jury to listen to, they are well done. a lot of people beleive in this, not just a few, but a lot and alot of us have read about it. i am praying for you, and want to wish you so much good luck. personally, i do not feel the state even has a case against you, but i had to be too optomistic – good luck and know i am thinking of you

    • hi jodi
      i had my email address wrong, so wanted to fix it
      remember, this abuse by Travis is awful and he should have been punished
      i wonder if you are covering up for someone, still, – and maybe the gun went off and someone else came in later – i think you are too small to have been able to carry a dead body around – especially the size of Travis
      you are doing a great job, keep up the good work and i am preying for you
      i also believe in the law of attration – a lot of people do
      i believe you are innocent and should not be punished because someone was abusing you
      it is just more abuse
      it will soon be over, and you will be cleared of all the charges, i am sure of that

    • I LOVE YOU JODI ARIAS! I HAVE ASKED JESUS TO GIVE YOU A NOT GUILTY VERDICT xO GET FREE SOON TO FIND THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE x LOVE YOU BABE! SHAKEL DFH* NEW ZEALAND..

    • Dear dear Jodi, what ever happened in the past is the past, you have people out who hope and pray, that judgement day for you be left up to god, not maricopa county. Keep your head up never look back..and what ever your faith is, keep it close to your heart and don’t stop believing in what u love

      • Jodi, you hang in there. I just pray you can at least get a short sentence and can go on with your life. I hope you don’t still think Travis was a nice person Lean on God, and for yourself I hope you don’t limit yourself to Mormonism. Please explore the Bible, especially the New Testament. I will think and pray for you everyday. And just know, the 40’s and 50’s can be the best years of your life.

    • Hey JodI.. You got this girl.. I have said from day one.. HUNG JURY…. I want NOTHING but the BEST for you.. head up HIGH and keep up the great work on the stand!! again I say YOU GOT THIS!!!

    • i agree. for all those who believe in nancy grace and juan martinez, i say, *and donkeys do fly*…my prayers are with you jodi *hugs*

    • JODI,

      I remember working along side of you at cpk. I was a Busser there, we all used to work together, we actually Opened up the store…. I was big, bald, with a goatee, anyway, trust, keep your head up… Stay strong, I’ll letup you in prayer…please get back at me

    • Jodi keep ur head up , I would like to visit you if I can . You seem like a fun outgoing person . It would be great to know you for you not what people are saying . I would like to write you in jail. Thanks . Lv Kevin

    • May God Bless you Jodi. I have been exactly where you are up to June 3rd. I feel everything you have gone through and more. I FEEL what you have said I feel to be TRUE to what I have felt and DONE. myself and to feel such suffering that cannot even be explained to anyone else or that they would even understand but I do. GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL. AND GOD BLESS TRAVIS’S SOUL AS WELL. Even though I know where you are right now and what may be ahead of you is horrible or worse, and I pray it doesn’t get worse, , somehow I feel as though in your soul, if it”s possible, you may feel some release maybe, or perhaps even some solace as hard as that may be to say aloud but I feel that way for you. .one person cannot continually emotionally and mentally use and abuse another for years, with total disregard for that person, and expect to go on living their lives as if it didn’t matter at all. AGAIN, GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU.

    • i have been watching the case from the beginning. i truly believe your being persecuted. i want to support you any way i can. you can only receive postcards right? i called to write you. im an artist so you will be in my prayers and my art. god bless you

    • hello jodi,
      i hope that u are doing fine,these days.. i knw its hard being on that stand for a long time,.nd having that man martinez yell so much,instead of just talking normal.. i hope that u are pulling thru these hard times nd these days that must seem 4ever,.. keep staying strong nd god will help u.. just have faith..nd even if the world seems upside down, dont give up. im praying 4 u. and u got a friend in me,im from chicago.but im a Supporter .take care.=] -Rio lorena-

    • Frankly, though I think you are not guilty, that slug deserved to die for the womanizing, abusive scumbag that he was.

      You and every woman deserve to be loved and respected. Not treated like an object to be used.

    • Hi Jodi,
      I have been keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers as I watch and hope each day that court is televised for this to soon be over with the outcome of you being acquitted. I live in South Florida and wanted you to know that there are people from all over, including myself, who support you each step of the way. I will continue to stay positive and hold on to the faith of our justice system. I wish you all the best Jodi as I’m cheering you on the road to victory. Please stay safe and take care.

    • youre amazing Jodi! keep up the hard work. The man upstairs knows youre innocent and he will protect you and stand by you. Youre beautiful and so smart! I know its hard to see that you DO have support on the outside because all the negative publicity, but you do. Im about to go to a detention program for a year for some wrong choices i made and im not even scared or stressing it, because i know theres people like you who have been wrongfully held in jail. I hope you do not get the death penalty and one day get the freedom you deserve back. Love from pensacola florida !

    • I hope one day we can become a more compassionate and less judgmental towards others. I believe sensitive, introverted individuals can be more prone to psychological distress from emotional mistreatment that would not have the same impact on others. I hope Jodi and everyone impacted by this tragedy finds peace. Love and compassion for all!

    • Dear Jodi,

      I haven’t been following your case but this evening when I caught a closer glimpse of you in the news, I realized that I knew you. My name is Natalie and I babysat you, Carl, and your baby sibling when you were about 9-10 years old (in Salinas). I am only two years older than you so mostly we played together, barbies and dress-up. My step-dad was friends with your dad, Bill. His name is Dean. I don’t speak to my family anymore because they were very abusive to me and I left home when I was 14. I came to discover that my step-dad was a drug dealer and I have suspicions as to how he got to know your family. I had two little brothers but I don’t remember them being around when I babysat you guys. Their names are Jonathan and Jason.

      I’m so sorry that you are in this situation and that you have experienced abuse. I remember you as being such a sweet person and I instantly liked you as my friend. You were very thoughtful and kind, and very patient with your brother. I remember you having a beautiful smile and warm presence. I also remember your house. The kitchen was in between the family room and the bedrooms. The family room was large and attached to a door that lead outside. I remember loving your backyard; I don’t remember why though. It seemed like a loving home and I remember wishing I could spend more time there with you guys.

      Jodi, I hope that you are acquitted of the crime you are accused. You are not a murderous criminal and you don’t deserve to be abused, by anyone. Whatever happened was not your fault. You have a beautiful spirit that has shined through you from the beginning. I know because I saw.

      With love and support,
      Natalie

    • I think the most important thing the Defense attorneys can tell the jury in their closing argument is this:

      “if you think Jodi Arias is a liar, then can you even believe her when she says she killed Travis?’ I mean, let’s face it – if they can’t believe her story, then they shouldn’t believe ANY part of it. The photos on the camera and the bloody palm print only prove that Jodi was in that house; they don’t prove she actually committed murder. The only proof is that she said she did it. If you don’t believe her story of self defense because you say she’s a liar, then how can you believe her when she claims she committed the crime. If the person running this website has contact with Jodi’s attorneys, please convey this information to them. This is very important and I feel could be the difference in proving reasonable doubt. Thanks. Jodi, keep your head up.

      • You’re brilliant, Connie. There are no murder weapons in evidence. What if that Dustin Thompson broke in and killed Travis causing Jodi to create that alternate reality?
        How long did the police interview her until she was forced to admit to a crime?
        Hearing her last witness, the domestic abuse expert, I do believe Jodi was sexually and emotionally abused.
        Great job, sista!

    • As I watch your trial on the HLN station, I don’t feel as though you’re receiving a fair trial. I hope you think about suing the HLN station afterward, Jodi. It makes me sick that HLN developed a show specifically based on your trial and using a mock jury to make conclusions.
      You’re an American and you deserve a fair trial!
      Nobody seems to be taking the first Chapter of Travis’s autobiography posted on his Being Better Blog describing the intense beatings and abuse he encountered during his childhood. Per psychological studies, children who were heavily and physically abused grow up to become abusers themselves. I’m shocked your lawyers haven’t used his own words and a psychiatrist to diagnose his condition along with all those threatening text messages and emails.
      Be strong and I’m so sorry to hear all that happened to you

    • Hi Jodi, I truly want to support you. I am a lds member and see everything outside the box, I feel it’s so unfair about people judging unfairly. First of all, every guy goes through their sexual needs but there are certain levels a guy can go and Travis obviously demonstrate an extreme level. If Travis truly was as nice as he is, he could of want sex but not say certain desturbing things. Not only he was using you for sex, he’s using you for his dark side and through prepaid legal. I hope we can chat one day, you do not deserve what your going through. Unfortunately, he paid a price. People should remember that it’s not jealously Jodi went through, it’s the principle where Travis is a 2 face but still want the glory at the same time. Everyone lies in some point of their life. So people should get over it. Besides, it’s embarrassing to speak about all the details of what they were doing behind close doors. When I follow up on your case, I realize he wasn’t just abusing you with sex but more. Other members should stop being bias and look at the big picture.

      Helpful tip that no one mentioned in court. When you break the law of chasity. Did you know that as a return missionary and endowed, in the church standards, it’s actually a bigger sin compare someone that is not endowed. Jodi was never endowed. Because Travis was endowed he had a bigger responsibility and endowed in the temple is a big thing. Lds people know this but they look at Jodi like, “Oh she killed Travis it’s a bigger sin”. Give her a break, look what she went through. I am so sure something happened, look at the pictures. I can tell you truly love him and all he could do not respect you because he felt your not a virgin so it didn’t matter but then go pursue women younger and virgins. Travis doesn’t know what love is, so why people think he’s so innocent. He’s greedy. Just because he had so many lds friends and his friendship are strong through lies because he didn’t want to disappoint lds people.

      From what I see the only reasons why he told his friends lies because he hid his dark side and lied to himself to cover his sins. He lies about Jodi showing up and bad stuff because he didn’t want people to know he is having sex with her.

      IT’S THE PRINCIBLE OF ABUSE and JODI DO NOT DEServe the 1st degree!

      I hope a lds person reads my message, at church we are taught that God judge us why we did it not what we did. I mean I can steal something without knowing, when the sign said for free in front of it. So are you stealing? Yes and no. Well this is the same for Jod Arias.

      I know you only wanted to say things to please him, so I don’t blame you for some things you said. Please stay strong, I wish I had money to support you but I am in school right now. I hope we can be friends and stay in touch if I ever have the chance. I believe everyone is equal and people should stop being bias and look at the full picture.

    • I was just wondering if Jaun goes home and treats his family like dogs! Maybe thats why he thinks its ok for Travis to have treated Jodie so badly! I think he needs some counseling for anger! I think there is something wrong with someone trying to twist and turn the evidence to stick a needle in Jodi’s arm!
      I think the media is trying to make Jodi pay for the sins of Casey Anthony as much as they compare the cases that are not anything alike! Why cant the case be tried in court instead of the media? Who believes there is not one juror watching all the negative comments? There are just to many things ask by the jury that I have heard in the media! Shame on them all!

    • jodi, I just read the police report and am convinced you did not stab travis. I believe you shot travis in self defense and ran out of there. and I believe the court is in error to allow the prosecutor to badger and bully the witnesses. shoulders back, stand tall, deep breaths, you have millions of people like me who are hoping and praying the jury votes not guilty. p.s. the doctor is doing an excellent job testifying in your defense, which is obvious b/c the prosecutor is having such temper tantrums, lol…

    • hi i have been in your side since day one. i hope it all goes well and you will soon get to go home and put all this behind you. i don’t know if you remember me and my friend when we went to court and we said god bless you. and you meaning jodi said thank you. well we still wish you the best and hope you will get to go home and put all this nightmare behind you. we are not god and i am not here to judge you only god knows what happened in that house an only god should be the one to judge you. again i wish you luck.

    • hi jodi, I hope ur feeling better 2day, im also praying 4u, im not mormon- im Catholic nd i believe in God greatly,nd i believe that what u went thru has been real, im also hoping that u dont break down,nd stay strong. i knw ur under alot of stress,even tho others dont see that nor realize it,.but im praying 4u,nd that evrything can work out 4u. my thought are with u, nd i stand by U. take care, and ps. ur defense lawyer jennifer SHE ROCKS!!! =]

    • DEAR JODI,
      IT WAS A GREAT DAY TODAY ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TRUTH IS TOLD SO ALL CAN SEE YOU ARE NOT A LIER THAT TRAVIS WAS ABUSIVE TO AND TO OTHERS. I’M SORRY THAT YOU DID NOT TRY HARDER TO MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE AND FIND THE RIGHT GUY FOR YOU. JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THE DURING THE TRIAL WHEN JM WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN TO STOP THE TESTOMONY ABOUT THE HUGHES I PRAYED HAIL MARY’S FOR YOU AND ASKED HER TO SPEAK TO HER SON TO HELP AND GOD ANSWERED MY PRAYERS AND HOPE THEY WILL CONTINUE IN THE DAYS TO FOLLOW AND BE WITH YOU TO THE END.

    • We’re praying for you Jodi,Gods got the last word & i feel in my heart that you my dear did what you had to do & no matter what anyone says that he deserved what he got! I pray for his family as well,God give them peace.

    • Jodi

      I just got out of a very abusive relationship with Bobby Juarez. I believe that you may have been abused by him too. He got the letter from your defense on your case when I was with him and he talked about you a lot, so I know that this is the same dude. He strangled me twice as well as other abuses. I made a video detailing my experience with him, and at the end of the video I talk about your case. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLiFyta_6nE

    • Please continue to stay strong! The new artwork is beautiful. I will continue to pray for you. Best.

    • I would caution you to be not be overly gleeful that a juror got dismissed. It gives me the same bad reaction that I feel when I see Travis going overboard. You will lose any sympathy you may be acquiring. Same thing I say to the other side “this isn’t a football game. Someone is dead. Someone else may be. Stop painting this like a damn Superbowl.”

    • Dear Jodi, My name is Paulie. I have only just got into watching the trial.The more I see,the more I believe you were taken advantage of by him. He even used religion to get to you and then had his way with you and dumped you then take your money,screw other women.Then continue to offer sex with you and tell you whatever he did to get more sex! You just can’t do that to someone. That jerk asked for it. I’m not condoning what you did,but it’s not all your fault. You are such a sweet girl. If you were with mr,I would have been proud to have a loving girl like you. I wish I could turn back time and sweep you of your feet. And treat you with the love and respect that a woman like you deserves.I hope you are found innocent. I would love and like to be your friend forever. Stay strong. Your friend forever Paulie

    • Watching cross of Alice today! Go girl go!! Martinez is looking like a fool!!!! Hang in there Alice and be strong!!! Jodi was abused by Travis, and you are an excellent advocate for her!! Keep going!

    • Jodi, your defense witness is amazing! she’s doing an excellent job under cross exam and making the prosecutor look as silly as he sounds. the jury members are surely going to become disgusted with his antics and it won’t work in his favor.

      • I would like to know if there is a way to poll the jury under oath to be certain they have not watched tv?My reason for this is the trial has gone on so long if even 1 juror is not honest and has watched the coverage of this trial the verdict may be extremely tainted.There is no doubt any juror who has watched any coverage of this trial would no longer be able to remain true to only the evidence given during the trial.This would be a huge problem in my opinion.

    • Hi
      Someone needs to let the lawyers and Jodi know that the 5 juror is sitting in the court room after being kicked out. I believe this is a ploy to have her friends on jury still side with her. This is unfair that she has been allowed in. I understand if you don’t post this but please this is unfair.

    • Jodi: I have listened to all the testimony and believe that a viable case for self defense has been made out. You were courageous to testify and subject yourself to cross examination. You were very believable and held your own against the bully Martinez.

      I am sorry you were abused by TA (may he rest in peace). It is embarrassing to have to come to grips with the fact you were abused. You tried to maintain a friendship with TA and that sadly isn’t possible with a man who is mentally and emotionally abusive.

      Your attorneys are terrific. They are setting a great record for appeal (G*d forbid). The jury clearly should have been sequestered. The presence of Juror Number 5 in the courtroom is a distraction and must intimidate the juror(s) who didn’t agree with her. Especially since she receives special protective treatment from the court. Juror 5 is clearly trying to keep her face and story in the media so she is still marketable after the trial. Leaches will try to get rich off of your tragedy and loss.

      Stay close to G*d. He loves you very much. Know that G*d loves imperfect people (like most of us) even more than so-called perfect people and He wants us in Heaven with Him. G*d doesn’t want you to suffer anymore. He did not ever want you to suffer. Trust in G*d. Pray to Him everyday to give you peace and strength. Ask G*d to send an angel to protect you and He will do that, Jodi.

      My prayers (and the prayers of my family) are with you everyday.

    • Hi my names coco. I’m a brazilian woman who just wanted to say that I’ve walked in jodis foot steps. I know what it is to love a man so much that you’d do anything in the world for that person. But what I didn’t know at the time was that love shouldn’t have to hurt so bad if its true love. I know what it’s like to have a man play head games with you. One day I love you one day I don’t know you. I know what it feels like to be degraded to the point where you question your self worth. To smile at people threw a thousand tears. I know what it feels like to make love to a man and then feel like you’ve been used like a peice of meat afterwards. What I’m trying to say is that I completely understand jodi and why she took the b/s for so long. It’s like wishing for your toad to become a prince. But reality kicks in and you realize thats never going to happen. He’s never going to change. Everyone has a limit. I to almost lost my mind to my ex abuser. The only thing that held me back from going crazy on him was that at the time I was 8 months pregnant and didn’t want to get hurt or the baby. Thank God I had the strengh to finally call the cops and get him locked up for the abuse. But unfortunately for jodi she didn’t have that way out. All I can say is that I hope that the Lord hears her prayers and even though travis alexander may have been an abuser I hope that he rests in peace. I ultimately feel bad for the both of them because in a way jodi and travis both lost. Travis lost his life. And regardless the outcome jodi has lost her privacy. She has lost a part of her that may never be the same again. Her character has been put threw the mud and this woman will suffer with the pain of what happened and what the media has portrayed her to be. I truly believe in my heart that night jodi didn’t mean to kill travis the way she did. She just was at her limit and she lost it. May the Lord have pity on them both. Take care jodi and God bless you and your family. coco age 24 PA

    • Son I’ll tell you what!! RIDICULOUS MAN!! Snow White??! How old the Dwarfs are??!! OMGoodness!! What about Juror #5? I’m Baaaaaaaaack! HLN said she had the biggest smile on her face when little man got up! You’re telling me word isn’t getting out?!! Not!! I watch HLN ONLY to keep up with the Jodi bashing, then report it to you. I say MISTRIAL!!! What the thunder is wrong with this Judge?! Your normal Joe knows better than this!! You don’t need a Law Degree to know this is a circus! If the Courtroom erupts in laughter, when a woman could face death, tells me ALL I need to know!!! I believe the Judge is bias too!! She would NEVER allow the defense to get away w/this!
      Jodi, you have a HUGE support system out here! I’m just one out of hundreds! Keep your head held HIGH! Love ya Jodi!!
      Missy

    • Jodi,

      I want you to know that I am sorry for where you have been throughout this whole ordeal. Travis was abusive… PERIOD! The comments he made to you during your sexual conversations over the phone are outrageous, and proof that he violated you and made you fearful for your life. It is not normal under any circumstances for a man to state “you sound like a 12 year old girl having an orgasm for the first time.. That is so hot”. “I want to tie you to a tree and rape you” “There have been times when i have like… just totally raped you”. THAT IS HORRIBLE! First, Rape is Rape, and he should have been held accountable for that. Second; No one should ever speak of a child in that way. That does not make me horny… it makes me sick! I understand completely why you did not turn him in for such behavior. It is indeed classic for an abusee to protect and adore their abuser.

      My only concern is the knife. Jodi; He spoke to you with violence. He asked you fulfill his every sexual desire, and you did. Was the knife in the bedroom because he did in fact use the knife to act out his fantasy of tying you up, and raping you? Did he use the knife in attempts of violent foreplay? Was this the reason the knife was in the room? It makes perfect sense… but you need to try to remember as this is your life at risk and your lawyers need to help you.

      Hun, all of your boyfriends in the past have said that they would have never seen this coming. I believe them. You have never been in any kind of trouble in the past, and have had healthy relationships with your former lovers. This man abused you, used you, and brainwashed you. Example? You conformed to his religion. I wish you the best, as well as your attorneys and I hope you are found innocent.

      This prosecutor is good at his job. The only thing that bothers me is clearly; you have been abused your whole life by your mother, father, and Travis, and I wish he would have considered that and been sensitive to it. He was out of line on a few occasions.

    • Jodi, PLEASE really watch the jury this week! Keep record if they’re rolling eyes, shaking heads, a nod, ANYTHING they do, keep track! This has turned into a circus, and is not fair to you! I’m upset the judge let “little man” get by with that last week!
      Love ya Jodi!
      Missy

    • So i am writing in regards to all of the happenings in this unconstitutional trial… there are soo many no no’s that have been going on, where to even start… first there is one of the jurors taking videos with there phones… which is illegal..tawandilly. second this judge is so always sticking up for Juan “sustaining,” yadda yadda you name it, but for the other side have you ever noticed how many she has for them?? it is really quite pathetic. Judge sherry stephens is not a good judge she does not allow for an even playing ground.. All of it is pathetically unprofessional.

    • I have been watching the trial for awhile and thought you were guilty as hell, but after the emails and testimony of Ms. LaViolette, I do believe you do not deserve to die for this crime. I am not sure whether you killed him in self defense, but it has become evident that Travis was a solemn hypocrite, a sex deviant and an abuser that mistreated, demeaned and insulted you horribly. I wish your self esteem had been better so you could have told this a****le to get lost as he deserved! Good luck.

    • i was wondering is there a jail address to write her, i think she should walk out of there. i watch the trial everyday … thanks

      • Janey,

        Please get some help. It’s okay to be angry but your rage shows you are out of control. You are acting just like an abuser and will feel more at peace if you address your rage issues.

    • I have really just started paying attention to this case. This was a terrible incidence and it was exceedingly brutal. Still I am not judging. I don’t believe that Jodi just decided to do this because she felt used. There has to be more to it than that. Additionally I don’t believe Travis deserved what he got either. I am so saddened to see somebody as talented as Jodi throw her life away in this manner. I feel bad for Travis as well. I pray he is at rest in a better place and that God forgives Jodi as well. I would like to see Jodi get some help rather than her being put to death or spending the rest of her life in prison. Lets be honest. One does not get themselves into this position and act out so violently unless there are some underlying issues. Get the girl some help. Good luck Jodi! I wish you no ill.

    • Dear Jodi,

      You do not know me, nor do I know you. I am born and raised in California, and now live in Europe.

      Jodi, I know you did not murder Tr*avis A*exand*er. I know you were framed and too frightened to tell the truth about what really happened. Others like me have carefully observed this case, scrutinizing both sides, and we have come to the rational conclusion that you did not murder.

      I watched every minute of unedited interrogation videos. That is when it hit me: Jodi cannot tell the truth. She wants to, but she can’t. Det. Fl*res had already decided that you will be the one to pay for the murder. He did not give you any benefit to speak. He listened, but fake-listened. His mind was made up based on shoddy evidence and a corrupt plan. Organized crime in Mar*copa County is well-known. The US Department of Justice knows this and has sanctioned Mar*copa before. They will do it again.

      MrOmons are a cult with nasty rituals. They are a very dangerous religion.

      I grew up Catholic and believe in a loving God. I pray every day for justice to prevail. I am here for you, Jodi and will support you without fail no matter the verdict.

      Very kind regards,

      JP

    • Jodi! I love you woman!! I am so sorry there are so many dumb asses out there! I am shocked that people won’t admitt it COULD happen the way you say . And that is all you need here . Doubt. thats it. And your team has DEFINITELY has proven doubt in Jauns case. I can not believe so many women don’t believe you. It’s like me god people we have this kind of thing happening so much that there is a WHOLE NETWORK DEDICATED TO THIS VERY THING!! LIFETIME MOVIE NETWORK. AHHHH!! I am sorry that over half of america thinks you should have gave up your life to someone they are mislead to believe is better then you. Because the fact is nobody should have to apologize for wanting to live. No one should have to be punished for picking their life over that of their attacker. Now no one will ever know what actually happened. But I feel it is safe to say something terrible had to of happened to make a happy, confident, trust worthy person do something like this. It’s like i say when i defend you on facebook.You saw more that day then soldiers in the military see. you were traumatized. I’m just glad you’re not rocking back and forth in a corner somewhere. I am so sorry you have been sitting in jail for 5 years for doing no more then anyone in you situation would do. TRY AND LIVE. I hope you get found not guilty. I feel in my heart you have been tried unjustly and the only cure in NOT GUILTY!! I have your back and I will till the end. thanks Jodi and stay strong. we are all here for you even though the world can seen over run by travis supporters. WE ARE HERE AND WE WON”T BE IGNORED. Krista

      • Well said Krista, very well said. Freedom is not free though, sadly America makes you fight for you natural born rights, disgusting.

      • Krista,
        What you said about Lifetime Movie Network made me think of the movie “Enough” with Jennifer Lopez. She kicked her abusers ASS!!!
        Jodi, I want to say I’m thinking of you and praying for your life. I feel for you every time they show you on camera.
        I think you could have picked any one of us to stand up for you. You have many people who have been in your shoes and can understand. Sending hugs from Massachusetts <3

    • Hello, Jodi, writing to you from Illinois, I have been following the case in my spare time and even though we have the many ignorants out there that choose to believe what the media tells them, just remember Innocent Until Proven Guilty. The reason why I don’t jmp on the bandwagon is because 1. Nancy Grace and her dream team will do anything and say anything for ratings and 2 i’m a woman just like yu and I know that as tiny and fragile as we seem, if you push the right buttons and beat us we will fight back, and we will come like beasts. Women need to stick up and stick together!!!! Best of luck, supporting you from Illinois, xoxo Vira.

    • Wishing you well. Hoping you have Love and Peace. This too shall pass. You are not alone, we are here with you. Best Wishes and Good Luck. ♥

    • Jodi , I am behind you from day one! I see myself in you and I am 51 years old. I relate to all which has happened. I have learned so much from this case. I have been suffering with mental abuse for 8 plus years. In my days of stress (which is every day) the same comes to my mind and the only thing that stops me is fear of Prison because the Justice system is funky sometimes. Now days women are more mentally and verbally abused because men caught on to the legal outcome of physical abuse. I hope this case brings more awareness to the legal system that MENTAL abuse hurts more than physical abuse in my opinion. I wish you the best!

    • hang in there Jodi, i put some money on your books so you can get some chocolates and coffee. Hope you have a good day in court !

    • Keep up the good fight Jodi. I know you will make it through this and be found innocent.

    • One more thing I wanted to add…I am a strong member of the NRA and I firmly believe that the only thing more powerful than a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Jodi, you held your ground and defended yourself and I applaud you for that. The Mormon religion tries to control it’s women and it is not right. Anything negative that is said about you, just dismiss it. We all know you are the good guy in this.

      Always remember this Jodi, The night is darkest just before the dawn…and the dawn is coming.

    • First of all thank you SJ, for this well put together website for Jodi. I join you and others for her victory. Jodi, all the best as we stand with you in support for your life. You have changed my life and many others. Be strong and deep breathe through this process! This trial has affected society on many levels but for those here, we believe in the pain you are enduring daily. We feel it too! There is a gentle beauty of hope and love waiting for you. LJ

    • The universe has all the answers as you await. The beauty we share is a connective energy of love and strength. We give you that unconditionally. No matter the outcome, we know you will be alright. There is a ray of hope and may that light give you peace to overcome the heavy distractions around you. Believe as we believe with you! Lets meditate together and send messages of love to the Universe.

    • Be strong Jodi! Travis Alexander was a sexual predator and a pedophile. My boyfriend and I are praying for you and that the jury does the right thing.

    • i think jodie is a victim of a idiot male whore and she got pulled into the mormon cult and i believe he wanted her to come to see him so he could kill her and he attacked her and she had to kill him, cnn is crazy and should lose thier license for calling her names and stuff, jodie does have friends but cnn will not let any of them talk, you did what you had to and i hope you are found not guilty and and get a new life

    • Thank you SJ for this incredible website.
      The loving bright people here are so endearing and generous in their compassionate words for Jodi. So here is mine…..
      Jodi, what is done, is done and life is forgiving when you also learn to forgive yourself someday. As you stood in trial, you showed us your bravery and took the beating and the mental humiliation. Your 1st amendment right has been violated and there is no just cause for this. We saw the tears and the tightness in your chest. The conclusion is not permanent. So much more to come, more work to be done and above all Hope for all. Keep your spirit up as we continue to support you from this end by sending you good energy, calmness and love. Even the dead has compassion because our souls will be lost without love in our hearts. We give you Love and Light holding you dearly through this process. Not religious but spiritual. I believe in the justice of the universal love for all spirits and living beings.
      Jos

    • Really scared for you!! Wish you could get acquitted! So hope you will get that chance to have a life better than you ever thought it could be!! Stay strong!!

    • You are in my prayers. I have followed the trial and I do believe you. I don’t believe T A deserved to die but what he did and how he treated you was not right. I have so much to say but here I am only going to say keep your eyes on our Lord Jesus he will give you strength I wrote you a post card hope you get it and answer me I would love to hear from you.

    • This could have happened to anyone unfortunate enough to get caught up in a shitty abusive relationship. It has certainly made me reevaluate mine. Good luck Jodi, I’m praying for you everyday.

    • “good luck jodi im praying 4u evryday,”NO Death penalty 4u”,..i believe in u. i hope it works out 4u,nd people all over the world SHOULD understand that NO girl should take SMACK from No Guy in a relationship.women arent toys to play with.they have feelings…no girl should be humiliated by some PUNK dude.nd i hope ur doing well. nd GOOD LUCK ND TAKE CARE. =]

    • just want to say to you jodi you are smart and so pretty im ex usa army and i think you were put in a bad thing you did kill but i think you thought you had to i would love to write to you and be your friend

    • Hang in there. I know there is nothing anyone can say to help you feel better, I wish there was… You’re a strong person though. Wish I could help…

    • Jodi,
      You are beautiful, strong, and not alone. Your supporters are with you for life. The abuse you suffered, and continue to suffer because of HLN, DisGrace, and other panderers, is beyond the pale. Yet, you have endured with grace and dignity. We support you and love you, Jodi.

    • Never give up! Never lie down. Hold your head up high and be proud that you made a stand. Know this Jodi no man reserves the right to pass judgement on another. No man out there is without Sin. You’re in our prayers Jodi. Know that you will never be alone through this. There’s many of us who have lots of love for you and we would never leave you and we will continue to be by your side.

    • I think she is innocent. And she’s a victim of a buse I think travis was jelous one & he verbualy abused her & made her a sex toy & that was his dirty little secret. She had plenty ofchances 2 murder him she didn’t. He attact her she defended herself I think jose biaz or Dp lawyer should of defended her & also the Da will go as far 2 lie & plant crap on you. & innocent people are in prison for it good luck jodi.

    • Jodi: My prayer for you is that deep down you also find your peace.God said to Ceasar is for ceasar as to God for God.This is the beginning of the end.I know exactly how you felt after giving all you got to a person that never had intentions to truly love you.You get cought in lies and is like a cyclo and the more you give the more you mean less.Im sorry you gave in to all the hate, shame,fury,desolation,loneness,humulliation that a bad realtionship leaves behind
      As you walk thru the valley of sorrow ask God for forgiveness he is almighty.And as you see your life unfoding for next chapter,think how you left Travis toture.he might deserved bu but you took revenge in your hands and now how do you want to end up ? At least you will die with dignity,cloth,looking pretty,you will get to say good bye to you mom.as you close your eyes to open them to the unalable judgment of God.Jodi please repent.I know your pain,bit God knows it better.

    • Jodi, I don’t know why you were played like this
      I know it’s got to be hard but know that God has a
      Reason for everything and personally I don’t know
      What happened but I do know you were pushed and
      He got what he deserved. I’m so sorry that your having
      To bare the front of all this. And I hope that you know
      That there are people out there who love you and support you
      This country has gone to hell in a hand basket and it’s not a good thing
      I just wish I could help you I really feel as though you should
      Walk free on this. If you were my daughter I would be looking
      Blood myself. You stay strong remember to eat.

      Charles, I cannnot post your email as it’s not safe and you will be harassed. Please follow the links under her artwork and you can send her a postcard showing support. Jodi does not have internet access. ADMIN

    • Jodi,
      I am so sorry for what has happened, I do believe that you will be out when it comes for appeal. You are a wonderful and beautiful woman. STAY STRONG YOU CAN BEAT THIS!!!!!!!

    • David (from the bible) was an adulterer and murderer, yet somehow God called him a ‘man after his own heart’. Acts 13:22 Although David sinned greatly, he had strong faith in God. He believed, trusted and loved God deeply. God love’s us so much, he sent his son to die for OUR sins. Because of this, we are able to have a relationship with Him.

      Nothing you have done can separate you from the gift God extends to you. A gift of everlasting life in Heaven for those who believe in Him. A gift of experiencing the joy of having a relationship with him, loving him and learning from him.

      You said the other day, “death is the ultimate freedom.” If you believe in God and put your trust in Him, you will be saved and spend eternity in Heaven.

      I can’t imagine the emotions you’re experiencing as the jury decides whether you should live or die. I pray you will truly come to know God in a personal way and that you can have peace knowing that this life is but a moment compared to eternity in Heaven with our Maker.

      I hope this message finds you somehow…

      Praying for you. My heart goes out to you…

    • Jodi my prayers are with you, I got your back. I ask of you one thing PLEASE come to accept Jesus as your personal savior and HE will deliver you from hell you have been through here on earth and the hell in the after life and you will not see you know who. If you already know the Lord as your personal savior I apologize for the repetition, I pray for your deliverance!!!

    • I just want to say to the arias family all of jodi’s siblings and her mom and dad. I know you all are suffering and the media doesn’t usually do a great job of letting the family speak because they side with the person who is dead. I am not Jodi’s fan or Travis’s fan I am a person who feels compassion for jodi and her family as well as travis family. There are no winners in death. I am praying for all of you and praying you will not get hate and violence from people. Always there are those idiots who think they are god himself and can pass judgement. Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will get through this together! i am praying for Jodi to find a real purpose in her life she can make a difference to others in jail. God can use her if she is willing. And the Lord can forgive her too. Travis family has to forgive also but I am praying for them too . god bless

    • Hi Jodi… So sorry you lost that round… I have been praying for you since the beginning.. I feel that you have had enough grief and was hoping that somehow you would have been let go… Now your life as you have known it will never be the same and I just wanted you to know I really feel bad for you. Only you know what happened and whether you remember or not is between you and God… I just hope you can find peace and stay strong for your own spirit.. God must have better plans for you or this would not be happening.. so try your best to cope and take one day at a time… there is nothing more you can do.
      I hope where ever you go to.. hopefully a better place where there are no locks on doors and you can walk around and feel the air on your face… Stay well.. and know there is someone that cares… If you ever want to talk please email me at ****@yahoo,com.
      A little about myself- I am 52- mom of 1 son and 1 daughter.. Love my pets.. feel like I have made a lot of bad choices in my lifetime.. one of which I had my daughter while I was handcuffed and shackled to the operating table.. had to have emergency caesarian,… but I spent 17 months locked up in Chicago;s Cook County Jail and finally got out… I had an addiction and it got the best of me.. but now.. I am sober. Thank God- March 3,1998 – He entered my soul and I realized I had more to do with my life than heroin.
      So find something greater than yourself… learn it- love it- You could talk to other women in jail and help them realize their strengths and weakness’ – I think young girls would listen to you as they try to change their lives… Just a thought 🙂 Hope to hear from you…

      • i donot think you can see this but keep your head up most people want to see people hurting i think you a smart woman who made a mistake im your friend even if you dont know me

    • My heart breaks for you and your family, I have a daughter your age and I can’t imagine going through this with her. Please stay strong Jodi, God has a plan for you. You are a beautiful, talented soul and there is still much you can contribute even from prison. I saw the anguish in the face of your Mother and Grandmother, please don’t leave them. As long as you are alive they still have their daughter and granddaughter and it is obvious how much they love you. Think of your little brother and sister and how much they would miss you. There is still much work for you to do in this life. I hope eventually you will find peace no matter what the outcome. Don’t listen to the negative, you know your truth, continue to hold to that. I don’t believe that you will get the death penalty.

    • Your stoicism in your post-verdict interview was inspiring! Remember, there is no earthly power that can stand between you and the ultimate freedom you seek and deserve! We’ll all see you in the great beyond!

    • Jodi, stay strong and know that is life and love after this ordeal. Blessings to you.

    • Hi Jodi….I just want to let you know that I feel you were really mistreated by Travis from the very start and feel that on June 4th, 2008 you were in a life or death situation in that bathroom!!! I’ve followed your trial very closely from the start back in January of this year and feel that Travis was leading a double-life. To most people he appeared to be able to do no wrong no matter what he was doing or where he was doing it which is really sad because behind closed doors it was a totally different story with you. I agree with you 100% when you said you felt a certain way at times during your relationship on the stand in Court. I felt you were doing everything possible you could for him at all times and yet he wasn’t smart enough to know it. He had plenty of ghosts in his closet!!!! I know about some of the really nice things that you have done for different people in your life and it’s a real shame things didn’t work out for you like they should have on the verdict!!! You’re a very intelligent girl and have many great talents and can still use them!!! I’m praying for you and please don’t do anything stupid!!!! It’s not worth it trust me!!!! Hang in there..PLEASE!!!

    • “hi jodi, i know its been hard for you and the conviction,but please dont give up on urself. god is still with u now nd forever, stay strong nd dont stop believing in god. and always hold god in ur heart, he loves u. dont let the rest of the world whom talk alot a smack get to u,.. no1 is perfect, evryone who is a hater they must think they are perfect but they arent. take care. nd im praying 4u evryday.

    • The 1st degree murder conviction is the wrong verdict! From what I’ve read, Jodi had never physically harmed anyone before this incident. This was a clear case of temporary insanity brought on by someone that used her just for sex: Jodi loved Travis, He did not love her. The entire time the trial was going on there seemed to be an anti-Jodi environment. Every part of the media was stirring hatred for Jodi. Is this impartiality?
      Jodi, I for one do not understand how you have remained so incredibly strong through this entire ordeal. You are so beautiful, loving, creative, and talented. Stay strong and never give up, never!

    • I am a 32 year old girl like you Jodi, and I have tremendous amounts of empathy for you. I wish I had been on the jury. I would have never ever allowed for that jury to convict you.
      I don’t actually care if you are guilty of the charges or not. I just think you should be free.I understand how good people find themselves in crazy situations.This is probably the way your mom feels too. I think no matter what happened the night of the killing, you should be forgiven, actually. It’s not gonna help anybody to have you go to jail. It’s not like this would ever happen again. You are not a sociopath. I do believe you were in a co-dependent relationship of sorts, with a man who wanted to dominated and even humiliate you to some level. I hope you can find freedom within, like the buddhist monks do. Don’t worry jodi, be strong, be calm, be free of suffering. I am praying for you. Sophie.

    • Will Jodi be allowed to get support letters? Sometimes the best thing is getting letters from people who support you and want to understand how you feel… My heart goes out to you, Jodi. Stay strong and keep fighting, sending strength and comfort to you now.

    • Jody, I am not here to judge you or anyone for that matter, I just want you all to know, that there are many of us who are going to love, care, respect, and give you dignity, regardless of what has happened!! God loves you, Travis, an all of us!! This is a tragic event, and it IS so sad when people hate at any time. You see, I have been where you are at, and I now have a God changed life!! It deeply saddens me to see that more than 2 peoples lives are changed forever by this!! I just wanted you to know that you ARE loved, ALWAYS…. May God Bless, you and yours, and keep us all safe in His hands!! You ARE a beautiful woman, and I encourage you to get with our Creator in prayer and worship, loving and serving Him, and others with the love of God, for all!!

    • There’s for sure major doubt that she did this!I would be very comfortable to ask her to marry me!she’s innocent in my view!They’re better appeal!Love ya jodi!Tom yerosic/canada

    • WE love you Jodi; so don’t give up and stay strong. WE won’t stop until the system yields to OUR cause.

    • Jodi,

      You are so beautiful and talented. I pray for you every night that you will once again see freedom. I pray that you can continue to inspire us all with your amazing art work. Please do not give up. You have so many people out here that love and support you. You are a very strong amazing women. Most people wouldn’t have been able to endure a trial that exposed every asspect of their lives, but you did.
      We are here for you Jodi please don’t ever forget that.

      Carrie

    • Jodi, as a former investgator, I have never seen such a modern day lynching as you have been victimize. From my own view of the trial, the judge failed to keep out umsupported statements that made bt Travis’ friends that you slashed his tires (why no documents showing towing and purchase of new tires). The seach by the police for child pornography was only on his computer not DVDs or printed matter. It’s clear to me that he was setting up a justification for killing you after he had one final romp with you complete with fantasized pictures for his future use. Hopefully, there will be a better set of lawyers to assist.you before an partial judgr to oberturn the conviction.
      To demonstrate the HLN generated lynch mob mentality, when I postef a simple, “Jodi is not guilty.” on their FB page, I redeived death threats for my statement. This trial was so preposterous. You should have had a change of venue and a sequestered jury. There is no money for that but plenty of money to house the accusef for years. Such a shame! Stay strong!

    • Why hasn’t Nurmi or Willmont brought up the fact of what juror #8 stated i truly believe that they were watching the media.there has to be something they can do .As everyone can figure out she will be getting an appeal sorry Arizona you love to people to death We all stand in front of our marker and just because you have a badge doesn’t give you a pass. I hope at her appeal Jodi will get a fair trial.Have faith Jodi

    • Jodie I think your a brave and beautiful girl! I always thought someone had to really abuse you for you to do what you did. I didn’t agree with the jury at all. MI would love to be a pen pal if they allow that. Take care! There are so many that support you!

    • Did it ever dawn on anyone, that its a crime of passion, ya she guilty, but no more than 2nd degree. I think, it started out a very bad fight. And Jodis aggression escalated because she had to! She was fighting a man! Also the slit throaght was probably an act more of mercy, because that was all that could be done at that point. This case has extenuating circumstances. If she waives an appel, she wont have the chance to apppeal again-watch out , Jodi

    • Anyone who thinks this trial was fair definitely has an intelligence quotient way below average. I just read about Debbie Milke and it seems she was sentenced to die based on the testimony of a person who had a history of misconduct. These people have no respect for someone’s life, and I’m sure they’re “pro-life”. The people involved in these types of cases should be punished! otherwise there’s going to be more Juan Martinez’s running around. It does tell people like Jodi one IMPORTANT LESSON though, NEVER GIVE UP HOPE. Justice will be done. I hope people supporting you give you enough strength to continue through this. You should continue to live and that itself will be a big achievement for you. And justice will be done and it will be SOONER than you think. Just don’t do anything against your attorneys advice.

      I haven’t seen a lot of this trial but just a single clip is enough for anyone with an average IQ to see what’s going on.

      Watching Richard Geffner’s cross clearly Martinez tried to assassinate his character by only bringing up statements made by people who had to resign because of misconduct and hide the fact that courts have held high regard for his expertise and explicitly even stated so.

      Kevin Horn and Janine Demarte, my god these guys are lying through their teeth. After five years and countless reviews this guy found a “typo” in his report that says the dura mater was intact??? Does this guy know what a typo is? And yes it could be a typo but it could also be an incompetent doctor who needs to go back to school and learn what a dura mater is and what a typo is. And Janine Demarte says she finds a huge leap in one scenario and not so in another scenario and I couldn’t see any semantic difference between the two scenarios. She needs to undergo psychological evaluation. I don’t understand where these guys are getting their degrees from. Pat Robertson’s Medical Institute?

      Although the defense attorney’s did their best I wish someone like Mark Geragos / Jose Baez was handling this case. Kirk Nurmi’s closing statement was very lacklustre. While their efforts have to be commended a very solid attorney could have easily capitalized on Jodi’s ability and articulate her points across.

      I’m posting a link for other’s to sign don’t know if its wrong. Moderator please remove if its not supposed be here.

    • 16 May 2013, Thursday, 0100 hrs.

      Aloha to Jodi and Her Supporters,

      Let me introduce myself somewhat, first. I am a former police officer and a law abiding citizen. I am also a former Investigator for the local Medical Examiner’s Office and handled many a death case, even suicides. I’ve read many a suicide letter and can sympathize with people in their final weaknesses. I’ve seen many a good person do things they have never imagined even their own selves, would do. I am also a Christian, saved by the Grace of God. I am reminded by one Scripture, as it is written, “Let he who have not sin, cast the first stone”.

      My feelings also go out to the family of this guy named Travis, who personally I feel, was a manipulative slut himself. Murder is not justified in the natural, under man’s laws and even God’s Laws. However, there are times I am sure, that many law abiding citizen’s SOMETIMES feel, “I could kill that guy…or lady”, but we never do it.

      Hearing what Travis did to this girl, DEPLORABLE. I look at his pictures on T.V., I see an arrogant kid akin to the kid who killed those girls on that Carribean island. Although murder is not justified, I do not feel sorry for that evil boy, Travis. May HIS SOUL, rest in peace. I feel he is equally, maybe even more, guilty of this crime. IF he did not treat this girl Jodi how he did, perhaps he would still be alive and, she would not be in this court room. Who knows? Only God does.

      I watch the T.V./court trial casually. And, I also watch casually, the circus of all the Monday Morning Quarterbacks on the talk shows. PRACTICALLY ALL of the moderators and guests on these shows, are blood thirsty hypocrites themselves. Watching THESE PEOPLE, disgusts the hell out of me. How they are so JUDGMENTAL.

      In my walk through life and my walk as a person who has tasted of the Grace of God, I KNOW first hand the feeling of being FORGIVEN, by HIM.

      It is MY PRAYER that Jodi comes across repentive in the sentencing court room. I FEEL she is a pretty girl, she has a kind heart, and one mistake albeit a HUGE MISTAKE, does not make a monster out of a person. You want to see monsters: take a look at Ariel, Hitler, Mussolini, Idi Amin, Sadam Hussein, et al.

      It is MY PRAYER that her mother, her family and remaining friends, and all the people like us who are supportive of this precious soul, will STAND TALL for and with her.

      Is is MY PRAYER that Jodi is NOT GIVEN the Death Penalty. She is a soul and regardless of what she has done, she is loved by her mother. Regardless of what she did, she is a child of God, as she comes before Him, in all humility and asks Him for forgivenesss.

      Man does not forgive. The Letter of the Law, does NOT forgive. But Almighty God, in all His Wisdom and Eternal Love, DOES FORGIVE. It is MY PRAYER that with God’s Love, Jodi will come before Him, on a bended heart, asking Him for forgiveness.

      ONCE Jodi does that before our Almighty, whether the jury sentences her to death or not, MY GOD will forgive her (Jodi) and she WILL, see eternal life with Him…in Heaven. Believe it…OR NOT. That is the God, I serve.

      This girl, is not a MONSTER. she bleeds like the rest of us. For the most part, her tears are genuine. I pray she will speak up for herself, and have the will to live. I pray her mother will appeal to the jury, as a loving mother…and touch the sentencing jury, as parents themselves. This girl is NOT a monster.

      I’ve handled murder cases where a victim was stabbed 60+ times. Some are committed by just out-and-out evil perpetrators. Some were perpretrated by individuals in a “heat of passion”. This girl gave her heart, life and body…to a very evil, despicable human being, Travis. As far as I am concerned, he was an ultimate punk. He preyed on this girl. Was she the only sucker he preyed on, or would ever prey on, to do his perverted wishes?

      They keep saying he experienced extreme pain. I dont think he experienced pain if any, much in the defining moments before he died. Seconds, if any. HOWEVER…

      Bottom line is this: I have told many a person that THANK GOD, He will be the Judge of my life and soul, COME JUDGMENT DAY. Otherwise, all of us human beings would JUDGE each other to hell. God has the FINAL SAY. Kind David was a murderer, but it is written that King David was “a man after God’s heart”. Kind David suffered the consequences, BUT he came to God with a repentive heart and was spared.

      JESUS DID NOT COME for the righteous, he came for the SINNERS, which ALL OF US ARE. All these jurists, talk show moderators, judges and talk show guests that are LAMBASTING Jodi, what do they have hidden in their own closets, that would also be called to scrutiny, if others knew about them?

      I am writing several books: my life as a police officer; my experiences as an Investigator with the Dept of the Medical Examiner, and the history of Organized Crime in my home State. I have seen MANY an evil man, guilty of many UNDERWORLD HITS in my state, walk away FREE or with minimal sentences, REGARDLESS of how many men died at his own hands or under his orders or consent.

      This girl is NOT the monster that THE WORLD, the judging WORLD, has made her out to be.

      Jodi, please speak for yourself with a repentive heart, before your sentencing jury. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, PLEASE get before God, with a bended heart and on bended knees, and ask HIM for FORGIVENESS and TOTAL EXONERATION. Alimighty God will see your sincerity and regardless of your sentence by MAN (the laws of which HE ordains), HE WILL FORGIVE YOU.

      (Writer’s Note: IF the likes of Hitler, Charlie Manson, El Duce, and all the murders and mass murderers of this world, WOULD HAVE gotten on bended hearts also, and had sinccerely and humbly asked GOD FOR FORGIVENESS, HE would have forgiven them also). That is the GOD, that I serve.

      Another thing is this: The only unpardonable sin, is blaspehmy of the Holy Spirit. IN GOD’S EYES, sin is sin. There are no DEGREES. Murder in the First Degree is equally as sinful, in God’s Eyes, as adultry, as robbery, as stealing from your neighbor or coveting his goods. It is equally as guilty as NOT having faith and trust IN HIM. Sin is sin. And when we realize that we can COME TO HIM, in all his Wisdom, Love and Grace, ask him for sincere forgiveness, HE MAKES US AS WHITE AS SNOW, and erases all of our past, as far as the east is from the west, of our sins and evil doings. THAT Our Jodi, is the God you can petition to…and you will be saved, eternally.

      (There are many people who have murdered others, savagely. And have not been caught, yet…or ever. Many upstanding citizen’s live in a prison, outside of prision. You have so far, been exposed and am in prison. Whatever sentence you have, will be your exoneration under’s “mans law”. God and his Son Christ Jesus, IS YOUR ONLY saving grace). Screw Nancy Grace. She probably has so many hidden filth and sins, in her won life. The ultimate judger of human beings, is Nancy Grace. God have mercy on her soul too.

      It is MY PRAYER that God will cause someone, His Servant, to come to you in your prison cell and LET YOU KNOW, about His Saving Grace. PLEASE BE OPEN to whom God puts in your path, and receive that person. As a mother does NOT turn away from her chidlren, nor will God, OUR FATHER.

      You have been hated on by many. Look to God and His Son Christ Jesus…they wait for you with open arms. Screws all the Nancy Graces in this world and all these talk show Monday Night Quarterbacks. YOU OWE YOUR LIFE to God and His Son Jesus Christ. His ways are higher than man’s ways.

      WE LOVE YOU Jodi, I Love You too, as a human being and as a man who has been forgiven many times, by the Grace of God, Our Father. BUT MOST IMPORTANT, God and His Son Christ Jesus, LOVES YOU. You just need to come to God, through His Son Jesus, and ask for forgiveness. While the world is caught up with sensationalism and judgment, THEY ARE NOT.

      Your friend, lary.

      • Yes Larry, our laws and morals is what separates us from the animals. Sorry,Jodi messed up.I feel for her because I believe she was pushed to the limit by this sick guy. But she had a choice. Its not fair but that’s our justice system.

    • 16 May 2013, Thursday, 0230 hrs.

      Aloha All Again,

      Watching these Talk Shows are totally disgussting. Who made all of them judges on people’s lives. Again I say, they ALL have crimes and sins in their lives, that have not been exposed yet. I’ve also felt at times, when people feel so STRONGLY about something, they are ALSO GUILTY of that something, in some form or another, BUT just have not been discovered themselves, yet.

      I knew of a wife herself, that was always suspcious or accusing of her husband, of infidelity. The truth: SHE WAS FOOLING AROUND!!! With several men. NOT HIM. The guy loved her and was resolved to be with her the rest of his life. She was fooling around on him.

      I knew men that looked down on women as scums of the earth, for being promiscuous. In the natural, they blasted such women. IN PRIVATE, they patronized those they blasted in public. AND LOVED the sex they got from them.

      These forensic pathologists talking about ANGUISH and PAIN. Extreme pain. HOW DO THEY KNOW. I was shot 4 or 5 times by a handgun in 1985. Friday the 13th. So what. As I sat slumped on the sidewalk, waiting for the police and ambulance to arrive, and watched my shooter yelling his brains off, DID I FEEL PAIN from the gunshot wounds in my body? Absolutely NOT.

      I did not feel ANY PAIN in my body from those gun shot wounds. What did I do? I asked God to please forgive this man, “for he knows not what he did”. I later as I recovered and went through trial, would be angry with him BUT, I asked God within minutes from when I was shot, to PLEASE FORGIVE HIM, even though he was ranting and raving on the street about 30 feet away from me, until my 14 year old son tackled him and held him on the street until the police arrived and arrested him.

      DID I FEEL PAIN from the gunshot wounds in the hospital. NO!!! NARDO!!! The most excrutiating pain i felt in the hospital was muscle spasms in my back, from the quick action i instinclty resolved to, when I WAS SHOT (bending over and holding my gut). The back spasms were so excruciating. My wounds from the gunshot, were NON EXISTANT. I would have been out from the hospital within a week, not for the dangerous infection that developed.

      How can these forensic experts, testify to the pain that this evil man felt. Have they ever been shot or stabbed. EVEN BEYOND an initial gunshot. Even after the first stab wound. There comes a time, even seconds or split seconds, that you DONT FEEL ANYTHING. Travis at a very early point, DID NOT FEEL ANYTHING…painful. Sensationalism bent on swayng a jury, is all I see.

      You know who SUFFERED excruciating pain, for all of us? Jesus Christ when he was flogged by a cat tail whip, 40 stripes less one under Roman Law. Then dragging a heavy cross through the streets (down the Via Dolerosa) on His Way to Calvalry, to be crucified for US. Being flogged every time he fell under the heavy weight of that cross.

      Then being staked by huge nails in his hands and his ankles onto the cross, hanging there by his tendons. Being speared in His side, while hanging there on the cross. Being spat upon.

      Travis, mental anguish. Whatever he got, he brought upon himself. Jesus, did not. DID JESUS HAVE MENTAL ANGUISH from all that pain and suffering? NO…NARDO!!!

      What did HE SAY as he hung there, about his revilers and executioners: “Father please forgive them, for they know not what they do”. To sin is human, to forgive divine.

      On death row, sits the mad bomber? The Jeffrey Dammers (spellling) and many other men (and women) that are guilty of huge atrocities, unimaginable. Does a girl guilty of being used, culminating in a heat of passion for all the hurts she endured, deserve death?

      As Jesus hung on the cross at Calvary, on one side of him, was a thief, who told Him something to the affect: If you are the Son of God, get us out of this mess and save yourself (of curse I am paraphrasing). ON THE OTHER SIDE OF JESUS, hung a man guilty of murder. He told Jesus, “Master, please take me with you” (again I paraphrase). Jesus’s response: “Today you will be with me in Paradise”. JESUS TOOK the murderer who was humbled, INTO PARADISE the instant that murdered died. Not the mere thief, for his unrepentive heart and attitude.

      I PRAY that God will send someone or even the Holy Ghost into Jodi’s life, mind and heart, for her to become, if not already, repentive…that she will also have Life Eternal with Him. For…

      with man, it is IMPOSSIBLE. But with God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

      Lastly for now: Even if she faces death, will their be closure for the family? UNLESS each of them can forgive Jodi Arias of this atrocity, they WILL NEVER HAVE CLOSURE in their own lives, hearts and souls. God and His Son Jesus, asks us to FORIGIVE those who have ought against us. IF THEY CANNOT FIND COMPASSION in their hearts, to forgive her, they will in God’s Eyes, be guilty of a sin greater than First Degree Murder.

      IT IS MY PRAYER, that God will minister onto their hearts and cause each of them, to find forgiveness and compassion in their hearts, towards Jodi Arias.

      Another thing: everyone is commenting on Jodi’s demeanor. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS IN HER HEART. Only God KNOWS a man’s heart, and what’s in it. Thank God, HE WILL JUDGE US, come JUDGMENT DAY…for his Judgment is FAIR AND JUST.

      God Bless to All and may we stand together, in support of a hurt and damaged soul, dragged through the coals, by a very judgmental world, lary.

    • Dear Jodi,
      My daughter & I wanted to let you know that you aren’t alone, that not ‘everyone in America’ sees things the way the media portrays things. We see the obvious pain you went through. When the verdict came, we both shook our heads, saying “No!” – what a setback for ALL women – abuse is rarely physical! We could see the psychological torture, the games, the aggressiveness, the rage in that man. The media portrays you without feeling, but that isn’t what we see – we see a gentle, insightful spirit, who was pushed to the very edge. This was a witch hunt. Wishing you strength and faith, healing for your (obvious) sorrow.

      • Dear Good Jodi,
        I am so sorry for all that you have gone through. I can personally relate to all your anguish, and abuse from others. I wish so bad that I could get up on that stand and defend you. I am 69 years old and your trial has opened up my whole life before me. It is your trial and story that has helped me
        to see who I am. Thanks to you I have had a deep searching of my soul and now after all these
        years I can make amends with the enormous emotions that I ran away from.

    • I don’t know exactly why but my heart goes out to Jodi. There has to be more to this than anyone else knows.

    • Hi Jodi, my name is Sara and I would like to support your group here is my first request. I am praying that the jurors can see that you are far from the worst of the worst and that Travis was as equally guilty for the situation having gotten out of hand. I would love to share my story with you sometime… Was going to write a letter not sure where to send it too and if you would recieve it…. Im sure that you will find comfort in knowing that alot of usbelieve in your innocence we understand your intelligence and that many have fallen prey to the missionaries that have plucked us from paradise only to take advantage of your youth beauty and finances to live out his dreams…. once he had gotten everything he need and wanted from you he kicked the so called dirty girl to the curb in search of a pure wife. Such disgusting behavior I cannot believe that council did not bring up in court that he held a position of Spiritual authority in your life and took advantage of that position… That alone is abuse…… I feel so bad that you fell prey to the Mormon Patriarchal customs that often mimick abuse. Anal sex is the norm here in Utah because women are second class citizens. There are so many customs you may not have understood and after all of them had been performed on you had you known that you were being used Im sure you would never have left your charmed life in the first place. I feel so bad I wish I could have warned you. Im praying that the jury will see the light as I do. Im praying that not all people cannot see thru his abuse of you. I hope you get life… You are not the worst of the worst… I know you did not enjoy it….Please know that if you are wrongly given death please know that you and I both know that our loving God above has already judged your heart… he finds you not guilty. If for some awful reason you get death I hope that in heaven you and Travis can meet in heaven and treat each other as our heavenly father would want us too and that you two can create baby irises and lillys and that you will ultimately have everthing you ever wanted…. You deserve it,

    • Jodi,

      Don’t give up hope. You still have so many places to see before you die, and while you may never be able to physically travel to them, you can astral ly project yourself to them from your cell. The mind is powerful, I will meet you at these places and we can take pictures and discuss intellectual books. You have been railroaded. I am sure you only had 2 gas cans, no one would be stupid enough to lie about that, that is how I am sure you did not plan anything. I know it may be hard to think about all the people around you who are free, have a future, and can enjoy the simple pleasures of freedom. Do not be envious, you have taught us so much, and in your mind you are freeer than we could ever be. People will worship your genius years from now.

      In awe of your courage and grace, T

    • Remember that this isn’t over. Not by a long shot.
      Only two people know what happened that day and we might never get all the facts here.
      That isn’t a reason to persecute someone like they have done in the media. Completely unprofessional
      I don’t think Jodi can ever get a fair trail at this point. What place in the world hasn’t heard the media?
      Not to sound pessimistic but if Jodi can love out her life in jail away from the negativity that would be best
      Her story can be really told by her in interviews and books and I know many of us would buy it.
      Even if she is put to death there is still many appeals available to her and much better lawyers to help her.
      Lots of help you were Nurmi!!! What a joke (asking to be let off twice) DISBAR!!
      Life in prison will be the verdict in my mind and there are still appeals left
      Jodi is so strong for going through this.
      Our love is with her now and always
      Don’t worry about tomorrow Jodi people are here to help you And love you
      I know you can get through this. Xoxo

    • Dear Jodi,

      I am and always will be on your side. I don’t think you been given a fair trial. When your defense team files an appeal, ask if you can get a change of venue. Because to me you have received the bad end of the stick. To me the jury is one-sided. They seem to be just thinking about Travis, I feel no one has looked at what you have suffered and how your family and friends have suffered. I also think that when Travis’s sister and brother gave their impact statements yesterday they were faking tears just to put a show on for the court and the jury. You could tell their tears were fake. Keep your faith!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t let anybody tell you that you are not a great person, because I think you are a beautiful young woman and I feel where you are coming from about being abused. I come from years of domestic violence relationships and my heart feels for what you have had to deal with. You and your defense team need to keep fighting and never GIVE UP. I don’t think you deserve to get the death penalty. Because when you are in domestic violence situations for a long period of time, sometimes the only way you feel you will be safe is to use self defense in anyway that you can to protect yourself. You and your family and friends are in my prayers. I support you all the way!!!! It broke my heart to see the pain in your face and eyes when you had to testify about what had happened to you for so many years. I felt all of your pain. I know you feel remorse, but I also understand where you are coming from… I love you Jodi. KEEP THE FAITH AND KEEP FIGHTING!!!!!!!!! And God Bless You. Love one of your number 1 supporters. Love, Patricia Williams

    • I watched Jodi talk today. Also lit a few candles for her. Yesterday I wrote a post card wishing her well and gods firm embrace. I believe there was something missing in her life while growing up and that if as she stated,she intends to do good in prison then let that happen. People change. Karla Faye Tucker is a great example of this but sadly we all know how that turned out. Vindictive people with agendas want Jodi dead.I do not even though I fully support the death penalty.I feel she is being walked to slaughter by the shiny happy people. That isnt justice thats vendetta. Not biased,I saw remorse and emotion during her statements. I saw that as I hope the jury did. I think she has been already tried and executed in the media and its sad when witnesses on her behalf are threatened. Threaten ME. Go for it. Like Barb Graham said before sitting down in the California Gas Chamber,” Good people always think they are right”. I do not believe killing Ms Arias will solve anything. Tuck her away neatly in a cell and lets move past this circus of a trial. I am pensive today about what this outcome may be for Ms Arias and Ipray to God,he guides the jury in the right and fair decision.

    • Jodi- Im on your side. wish the crime didnt happen and yes i DO feel for him n his family. I understand you you were emotionaly provoked. Im waiting for the life or death verdict and im praying for life for you. I will try to be a penpal…so if you get mail from me- open it:)
      Nancy K.

      ps i bot a tshirt cause i understand you….chin up girl

    • Jodi~
      I still continue to support and stand behind you! Try and stay positive!!! Love you!!!

    • Jodi, I have been following your whole trial. I just wanted to let you know that you are an amazing person. Don’t let the haters bring you down. I love you and so do all of your other supporters. You are absolutely beautiful on the inside and outside. I would love to meet you because I feel like we could be good friends. I really want to help you in any way possible. I can’t wait to buy a shirt and art. Love you, baby. Stay strong.

    • I LOVE IT!!!! “I didn’t know you were a hater when you came to interview me.” GO JODI! Good for you! It’s about time shes able to say how she feels FREELY! Luv ya, Jodi!!!!!

    • Dear Jodi,
      I have been praying for you. I am so sorry for what happened. I hope the jury has mercy.

    • Hi Jodi, can I write to you? Have you considered filing bankruptcy to protect your assets from civil suits and what about the 2 books and movie, can you get any $ from them? also, how come those letters from Travis were never published and can your family write books and possibly publish them and be protected civil suits?( sorry for all the questions)-how much can you have on your books in prison @ one time and is protected from civil suits?–what about any excess money, is it being kept in a bank account by family protected as well? this website, twitter and t-shirts as well..shirts $ all goes to various non-profit domestic violence groups, I know but it cannot be touched by civil suits either, right?…Just concerned….want to make sure you have that you have everything in order and God Bless YOU<3

    • Hello Jodi, Once again just wanted to send a quick note to let you know one… you looked great beautiful as ever in all your interviews recently… I too need my makeup any real woman does… also the allocation was beautiful a little worried about the tshirt although I love it… worried they might not get it.. also way to stick up for yI see a great girl just as Darrell says who was plucked from paradise by scam artists PPL and Missionaries swept away in the name of religion… money…… you were used abused kicked to the curb screwed litterally in the behind excuse me and when you fought back didnt realize that the mormons will work together through satan to take you down. Satan is real… God is on your side… I know that he will intervene and give you life…. I know it I feel it…. You are being beat down but wlll rise again if not tommorrow then on the appeal your work may not be done….. this is a test to society and they have acted like savage dogs….. haters, jealousy envy blind… I have been in your place before….continue to transcend the hate… You are loved.

    • Just wanted to show my support and say I believe you did NOT want to kill Travis & I believe the “Facts” against you made ZERO sense, but I believe you have a kind heart and at the end of all this haters will be left feeling S**ty for threatening ppl trying to help you… GO JODI YOU ARE LOVED 🙂

    • Jodi,
      Ive been watching your trail. I question or i feel uncertain
      at times of what really happened that day but deep down
      Your a human being. You know what you did was wrong
      But you are capable of change. God knows what really happened.
      And i just hope you eventually find a way to forgive yourself.
      I know how it feels to be in love, things happen.
      I hope the best for you. And i hope when this all ends everything
      can be at peace and Travis`s spirit can finally rest.

      God bless you.

    • Thank God for today!!!
      I am thrilled to hear the news!!!! Hung jury!!!! No one could decide because they knew in their conscience putting Jodi to death is wrong!!!!

      Now we will all just have to sit back and continue. Let the angry Salem witchcraft mobs go crazy with their vengeance on this great girl!! And the HLN hatter squad and their archaic understanding of psychology.

      Jodi you are incredibly strong, I wish I could be like you under much less pressure, your grace and dignity in these recent interviews is so apparent.

      Putting someone to death is not the way to justice it is pure vengeance, it is mob mentality!

      All of my love and good thoughts to you and your family in this trying time!! Lisa

    • SOME ONES PRAYING MY LORD CUMBAYA SOMEONES PRAYING MY LORD CUMBAYA…SOMEONES PRAYING MY LORD CUMBAYA OH LORD CUMBAYA….I know Im a dork… but oh well.

    • I can understand how she feels my boy friend Sam myott has abused me and i feel you jodi..I wanted to see you walk free
      all my love

    • I feel compelled to explain my last post.
      Hence; my nick insider4life…..Jodi, whatever you are feeling or whatever you are going thru, know that you are not alone. I had a history of domestic violence, one day I came home and my girl at that time was with someones else, things got out of hand and exploded, she shot me and I in return shot her and she died. I was tried and convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death for which I spent 14 years on death row, of course this was a very long time ago when laws were different. I won an appeal and the sentence was commuted to life, and because of that I am free today. I did not give up. had I given up I may have been executed , however I am free.
      my point being is that you should never give up, it is not over until it is over. You should never give up.It will require a stregnth unlike anything you have ever known but you can do it. I am lkiving proof. In domestic issues things do happen, sometimes we are not even aware they happen but they do. Your case has many issues that could come back in your favor, one never knows. Be strong.

    • jodi….love to you…..i am continuously in support of you….rest well you deserve it…..i remain cotinually by your side…i’m so proud of you…..evelyn halper…blessings and may you continue to receive blessings…

    • You look so relieved the jury was hung….. I’m happy for you on that girl!

    • God Bless You Jodi

      Stay strong and don’t let the HLN hate propoganda machine wear you down. Nancy Disgrace and her idiot drone followers are so biased and unfair.

      Never let the haters get you down. Many people, like myself, Love and Believe You.

    • Anything the prosecution or the HLN “haters” (note: not all of them are haters, I promise!) is trumped by pleading a mental disorder. Every single argument made against Jodi by Juan Martinez & Nancy Grace can AUTOMATICALLY be nullified by the NATURAL FACT that she has an absolute circumstance of a PRE-EXISTING mental health condition, which prevents her from controlling any impulsivity. BPD patients are like emotional and psychological burn victims: the slightest touch hurts.

      I’ve been reaching out to the Arias family like a maniac, because I want Jodi to be handled fairly by everyone. I also want her human value to be recognized; and part of that recognition requires overt acknowledgement of her Borderline Personality. And the entirety of her Criminal Justice case VS. the State of Arizona NECESSITATES this recognition, if the absolute, underlying truth is to determine the ultimate outcome of her trial. The common denominator of ALL of her maladaptive behaviors – the exact ones Juan Martinez and Nancy Grace have wet dreams over (since they are supreme hatemongers) – are 100% inadmissible in a court of law based on the Criminal Justice System’s rules in effect for defendants with predetermined mental health disorders. Juan Martinez shot himself in the foot by giving Jodi’s defense team a wide open shot at putting an end to this primitive witch-hunting prosecution. In my experience, I didn’t have to do a single thing but have a doctor speak – no, more like, recite – on my behalf to a CA State attorney the “mercy rules” (that’s how I like to think of them) in relation to automatic acquittal/dismissal of any charges on my record due to a pre-existing mental disorder. The stigma of mental illness is merely a phantom stigma. Borderline Personality Disorder is a constitutional hall pass or a form of (default) immunity that should disable all of the State’s/Juan Martinez’s motions to pursue Capital Punishment. And, in my personal version of a favorite ending- Murder 1 conviction should be reversed, since this trial’s playing field was far from leveled. Jodi did NOT receive a fair trial. Not only was she denied of her human rights (constitutional mental-illness protection), but she had Juan Martinez abusing his (almost literally) home-court advantage. Plus, so many players in the media circus were just over-the-top and abusing the public as an earpiece for their personal issues (i.e. Nancy Grace’s bitter avenger complex). I have planted myself in Jodi’s virtual corner. I am a recovered Borderline and have been able to overcome PTSD. I make sure to maintain a professional physician’s care to help me succeed and accomplish my goals in spite of the majorly (if not deathly) debilitating symptoms of my manic depression and ADHD. So, I’ve got a world and a lifetime of sympathy ALONG with real empathy for Jodi. I’m part of her personality “breed.”

      And Jodi- we’re not in bad company at all:

      http://mmstores.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/where-is-my-mind/

      Embrace it! God bless.

      Addendum: In case this serves anything to a positive end- I would like to tell Team Jodi that any seemingly negative, derogatory, condescending, fair-weather, generally unfavorable remarks I’ve made on Twitter or in any emails addressed to Jodi and everyone in her corner in no way reflects my true intentions and my real integrity to Jodi’s welfare. I genuinely care about Jodi’s journey to recovery and I want her to overcome everything. I just wanted to issue a (somewhat tardy) disclaimer that confirms all of my actions as motivated by my conscience, and good will for everyone who is emotionally invested in Jodi’s and Travis’ story. Trust me when I say that I’m a true friend. I’m sorry about any abrasive comments I’ve made on Twitter or through email. I don’t want to be driven by my bias towards Jodi. I strictly want to act on behalf of my passion to give Jodi all the humanity she deserves. I hope my support is still helpful, even though I’m not lobbying under the theme of Team Jodi VS. Team Travis, but solely fighting for Jodi’s protection and her wellness. I don’t want to hide anyone from reality whenever I speak. So, I sincerely apologize for anything I’ve said that sounds more outright mean than tough-loving. I also must confess that when I speak “ill” of Jodi- there is a counterintuitive motive underneath the service: I want the Alexander Family to let Jodi be. I want them to realize that they won’t achieve any closure by minding Jodi’s affairs, especially minding mostly about winning a death penalty verdict against her. I’ve gotten flak for sounding ‘condescending’ and ‘sanctimonious’ (which I am ashamed about, since I think I’m clueless about that shit), but I really mean all the best. And, I’m really letting my heart be my manager in everything I do; while still (honestly) trying my best to be earnest about how I implement my views or any beliefs I have.

      Jodi is being misrepresented on so many levels. It sucks that I sound opinionated, because I’m really just in service of being fearlessly loyal to Jodi’s growth and substance of character.

      I understand all of the negativity and the harshness of reality is being filtered out of anything said to her by you guys and her supporters. But, the only help I can provide is sharing everything, so that Jodi’s team have as much information as possible so to have the potential to have all the possible safety plans prepared for their own benefit. The first law of nature is self-preservation. So, it’s incredibly pertinent to get your hands on all of the information you possibly can in order to know how to proceed as constructively as possible. I’m not the type who would want to hide Jodi from reality. But I know the best communicator in her life right now would be a physician with a heart of gold and with promising credentials and honors.

      I want Jodi to live. Sometimes, it works to your advantage to placate jurors. So, often times, I’ve said things that focus more on the bigger picture. Basically, I don’t want to sugar coat anything nor risk provoking those who are angry. Um, I know that fighting hate with love and LIVING – not killing – with kindness is the most effective way to accomplish great things. And, I truly believe that everything great is only made great through wholeheartedness.

      I swear that I’m wholehearted in how I value Jodi.

      I want to see her ‘Premeditated First-Degree Murder’ conviction reversed. And I’m stubborn in my belief that pleading insanity is the optimum approach towards getting this fully accomplished.

      The more humble and remorseful Jodi’s Family and supporters appear- the more forgiving the public will be. I think that it’s a worthwhile sacrifice (and in fact more noble) for everyone in Jodi’s corner to avoid making any comments about Travis, the Alexander Family and their supporters.

      Trust me- it’ll expedite the entire process of saving (hopefully freeing) Jodi from the law.

      Don’t you want Jodi to return home safely?

      I am best friends with Rev. Dr. Ralph David Abernathy’s daughter. Ralph Abernathy was Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s mentor and best friend. Ralph Abernathy recruited Dr. MLK Jr., came up with the idea and strategized the Montgomery Bus Boycotts, made Food Stamps contemporary and first shared the prophetic statements that would be recited by MLK Jr. in the speech, “I Have a Dream” in 1963, Washington DC. Ralph Abernathy is an anonymous extraordinary. He is an unsung hero and the man behind the legend.

      So, all that being said, I hope my awe-stricken appreciation of everything Ralph Abernathy has left behind is sufficient enough to TRULY empower Team Jodi. I swear that insulting the Alexanders, all of Travis’ supporters and any “haters” (both in the media and at large) will only harm Jodi. This website doesn’t do her any true justice.

      I promise you it doesn’t.

      What would serve best is to collect all the documentation and credible sources possible to publish, post, mount and upload on this site such that there’s indisputably supporting evidence and resource that makes it known that Jodi’s innocence is predetermined.

      Post info or cited sources on Obamacare (Pre-existing Healthcare for pre-existing health conditions) and all material that makes it explicitly clear that everyone is blinded by all of this hatred, to the point of forgetting that we’re ALL children of God, first. This is first and foremost. And thankfully, out constitution DOES recognize and honor that.

      I really hope I haven’t won any haters by sounding presumptuous or “holier than thou”-ish.

      Haha, I’m just putting my knowledge to use! And I’m using my HEART to render all of it.

      Blame it on Rev. Dr. Ralph David Abernathy and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., if I sound like a high-faulting mumbo-jumbo Fucktard.

      Haha, I am a real friend here.

      Anything Jodi says to the media will work AGAINST her unless she appeases everyone’s desire to hear her literally say “I’m sorry” 1000x over, and to hear her admit to all lies; even if it means “admitting” to all “lies.” I mean, don’t trust the media. If anything, watch HLN just to learn the arguments being made against Jodi, such that you know how to overcome their negativity.

      I keep stressing that Jodi would be fine if she didn’t view people as either ‘pro-Jodi’ or ‘anti-Jodi.’ This is such an important skill that class-act people possess. It is very effective.

      Love is a powerful tool.

      An ABC reporter for the Phoenix division of the network stated (on Dr. Drew’s HLN show): “You get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar- and Jodi Arias knows this.”

      Well, imagine if the honey wasn’t artificially sweetened? I’m not insulting anyone. I just know – and please cut me some slack if I sound like a human-sized spasm from psychobabble hell – that, a core trait of the Borderline Personality is emulation, which is precipitated from the Borderline Personality’s operating through other people rather than operating through the individual self.

      Yes, I know this sounds obnoxiously masturbatory.

      But trust me! Because I’ve been to/through hell and back – five times over, if not even more than that. I can’t cook to save my life, I can’t sing to save my life, and I’m a horrible driver (even though I follow all traffic laws). I just suck so hard at parking.

      Okay- hopefully, that just removed any self-amorous vibes I may have (unintentionally) given.

      I’m not a doctor, not a lawyer and I don’t have a messiah complex. I just get really irked by watching Juan Martinez and all the ‘Haters’ waste everyone’s time by being so damn self-indulgent and ignorant. But then, it gets even more (already-exceedingly) frustrating to watch Jodi constantly (but of course, unintentionally) give them ammo without realizing it.

      I’m just trying to help.

      If you want Juan Martinez, Nancy Grace and all the other witch hunters in the Hate parade to be put in line – then, you can’t react to them. You gotta be proactive by finding ways to outwit them without even giving them the honor of your time, effort and attention.

      I swear I’m trustworthy and credible.

      But I’m totally not an expert in legal practice nor an expert in medical practice.

      However, I know the politics of equality and good will. I’m blessed with awesome mentors, and I can’t stop myself from caring about people. So, Jodi’s story has stood out to me for reasons I’m sure I haven’t failed to not share. Ha, sorry to be overwhelming.

      God bless all of you!

      Sincerely sending you my best regards.

      And sincerely sending my love to Jodi – not just today, but everyday.

      Annnnd, Juan Martinez definitely has small-man syndrome. Haha, totally…

      Ohh lil’ angry Juan Mar-penis… Haha, that’s the last lil’ (ever-so classy!) shithead comment I’ll make.

      Thank you very kindly. I remain sincere.

      Love to Jodi!

    • I just want you to know that I support you Jodie. I plan on writing you soon. I did 5 years in state prison for somthing I did when I was 18…. very stupid thing and I was stupid then…. I have grown up and am now a better person. I work everyday and am happily married with two kids and three stepkids. I have been where you are and I just want you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel. I pray for you everyday and can only hope things work out for you too

    • Jodi:

      I’ve been a victim of domestic violence and got treatment for several years. perpetrator ended up in jail.

      -First thing I learned was about the statistics about domestic violence. I think it wouldv’e be very important to bring those in court in your case.

      – Nest very important thing I learned it that 99 per cent of perpetrators don’t abuse in front of anybody, so normally victims don’t have witness. That’s another thing it shoulv’e in my opinion be very clear for the jury.

      – And third fact I learned is that mental and emotional abuse is much worse that physical. And also that domestic violence ALWAYS get worse. That wasn’t clear for the jury either.

      Your lawyers and expert are great but they shouldve makle this points very clear since the jury clearly agree you were a victim of domestic abuse.

      People in general are uneducated in the subject and that jury shoud’ve have the IMPORTANT information in this complex issue.

      I have no doubt in my mind you were a victim of domestic violence and you deserve treatment and rehabilitation for it. I also thing you are a survivor, since the perpetrator it’s not a threat anymore and I also thing you could’ve be dead if the perpetrator would’ve survived.

      L

    • hi, Jodi Arias. What a mess huh? I’m no lawyer, yet I can tell your not getting a fair trial. I would motion a miss trial on grounds the jury has been tainted, ask for change of venue or something like that..
      trying to write you without being tooo emotional about the trial is hard. So much for meeting under better circumstances, my best wishes are with you. I know you’ve been through a lot, glad you made it this far alive. Keep your chin up, stay strong don’t do anything to try and hurt yourself.Alright?
      My sincere regret that you got mixed up with whatever your ex got you involved in, remember you didn’t deserve this trouble.
      To the others against you, they should have sent ol boy to the service to learn to fight better.
      I’m no joke to play with, so when I come to town, my suggestion is for anyone who doesn’t want a problem? if your offended I am supporting Jodi, leave me alone don’t get in my personal space where my hand foot meet your face>OK?.
      Now back to happier thoughts.Have you ever thought where you want to go after you get out? You will get out, being at the wrong place at the wrong time, doesn’t constitute you as being guilty of your charge. My main focus is the guys throat was sliced as the first action to him dying, you did not do that. So thats where you get off, no matter what you did after that, you did not make the strike that killed anyone. so stay strong, what the whole case boils down to is whether your willing to take the wrap for someone else? If so the guy should marry you get on his knees to please you daily.
      Some of my visionary talent is spent developing new innovative systems and products, now it seems I have this distinct desire to help you? Hmmm. The deal that went down, went wrong should I say is disturbing to say the least. Please stay positive you’ll get through this too. My very best hopes for your new found freedom, sincerely: Juris

    • Jodi….praying and even fasting for you…believe God hears…as evidence when the jury could’t agree on death penalty. You have so much to offer to so many. I believe God has a purpose and plan for your life..
      Jim, in Thailand

    • Do any of you think there might be a new trial? For starters, I don’t know how another jury can be fair with all the info out there, plus the amount of hatred spewed by the media, especially a certain 3-lettered network. Did the original jury have the option to vote no to murder but yes to manslaughter? I’d like to know what was the deal with her buying cans of gas. That is the only thing that I think the jury could’ve used to say this was per-meditated. I won’t be shocked with either verdict by the next jury, but I’m wondering if there could be a retrial of the conviction. This whole case is one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen. Two lives cut short and two families turned forever upside down.

    • I know what sociopathic behavior does to some body…… We need to show people how sick those people are by communicating about it more… rape didnt become socialy unceptable in a day…. quantum mechanics can proove it there is DNA in the Hypothalmic substance that posesses people with rage… Why are they soo mad at her, rather than other cases! there is soo much evil in the world…. I do not want to be a tool for the beast!… I do not want to sit quietly and watch a brave woman go to hell…. I am a kind and virtuas person… But I will not put up with zombie makers… tormenters, trying to make me into something……. That, I am not….

    • Hi Jodi,,just a quick post,, please stay strong!! ok
      i will send you postcards,, asap,, i live in the Virgin Islands,, so thats not easy,, but take care,,and stay strong,,, all will work out for you

    • Hi Jodi, just wanted to say that you are not being fairly treated and you have a ton of love and support from people everywhere, who feel the same. Miss seeing you everyday it kinda seems like we all got to know you a little. Keep that chin up girl and keep smilin’. Thoughts and prayers go out to yourself and family.

    • Hi Jodi, I strongly believe that you are innocent and I give you all my support, through these tough times and believe that you are not being treated fairly. I just dont see anything in you that would make you commit such a heinous crime. Your innocence shows , just keep strong and take care. I feel as though I have crossed paths with you, like ive seen you somewhere. I was living between 2006-2008 in carmel valley. Worked as a server at Carmel by the sea and took many drives thru big sur, monterey and salinas. For now I just hope for the best for you and I believe you were the one that was a victim. Take Care…

    • Not sure what is the truth but if there is any chance the guy was how it looks like he was then she should not given any penalty. Any men abusing women in any way should learn their lesson. Don’t agree on might kill s1 but if it was self defence in anyway i think she did what she could. I watched all videos about trial not sure what to think. But my personal experience on being in a relationship where love of my life( sarcasm) was beating me and after all wanna cuddle me… I know where her anger may came from. And really dont get it how can any female vote on death in a case like this. Since im really not sure about real truth ( only Jodi who knows) i give my full support if the case was how she testified. If by any chance it is not then she has to live with it. But right now i think death penalty is way too much to punish her . Regards AnneLiz

    • Dear Jodi, hang in there. I always believe the truth will come out and I pray that you can walk away from prison, some day. You deserve a 2nd chance and a 2nd life where you can live freely. I pray for you every night. Keep strong. This will turn around, for your betterment.

    • Hi Jodi. A year ago tonight I went to jail for a crime my abusive boyfriend committed. I know what abuse does to the mind because I had been there for four years. My arms are littered with cigarette burns and every day was a new suicide attempt. I’m free today. From lockup and from him. Please keep your head up. And stay away from the meat in prison!!! It has hormones in it that make you lethargic and fat!!

    • Will you marry me?!
      Love u Jodi! If u need visiters to come visit you, I would love too.
      I’m a truck driver that passes through phoenix once month.
      Peace

    • Dear Jodi,

      There is not a day goes by I don’t think of you and how you were shafted by the judicial system. Please stay strong and know there are many people like myself who support you 100%. I was a reporter and columnist for over 40 years and I never saw such a miscarriage of justice as your trial. Pre-meditation was never proven and I’m convinced the jury went home each night and watched the garbage HLN was putting out about your trial. The jury was tainted. Hopefully someone will figure out how you can appeal the verdict and have your sentence reduced. I live in Chicago and in 1984 a guy shot his ex-wife 37 times in the face, and somehow he only got 12 years and was paroled after 8 years. I’m convinced with the right people representing you the same thing could happen to you. Keep your chin up and know I’m praying for you.
      All my best,
      Bill Corcoran, Chicago, corkcol@aol.com

    • YOU GOT THIS GIRL, I HAVE BEEN READING ALL THE BOOKS,MAKING NOTES …. THERE IS SOO MUCH DOUBT, ABOUT ALL OF IT.

    • JODI always remember you are a SURVIVOR, A GOOD HEARTED WOMAN, and you are an astonishing human being.

    • Hi Jodi supporters. I know she is still in jail but one day she will walk free again. I have seen it, it will happen.

    • Jodi,

      We pray for you daily. Keep your head up lady. God is with you, always and forever. You will be free again one day. You’re art is beautiful. God gave you a gift.

      Your friends always and supporters,

      Daniel, Rose, David, and Wes Lamars

    • There is a lot about you that i can fully understand. And relate to. A lot. My ex is still a master at manipulation and has made many promises in the name of love to get me to do anything he WANTED, but also, to get everything he WANTED from me. All the while; his words were empty promises and i was used at his convenience. We believe he loves us without realizing we are only being used. I am still learning about you and what really happened, but, i already know he took advantage of your love and of your heart for his own personal desires. That is one of the most cruel acts anyone can do to another person. Take advantage of their live and trust and use them without any care or remorse. I would like to keep in touch. – Lily.

    • LORD JESUS I HUMBLY ASK THAT YOU SPARE THIS WOMANS LIFE. I KNOW LORD THAT YOU LOVE AND HAVE FORGIVEN YOUR BELOVED CHILD. NOT THAT SHE IS GUILTY BUT I PRAY THAT AFTER THIS MESS IS OVER THER WILL BE PEACE AMONG ALL OF US. PLEASE LOOK AFTER JODI TODAY LORD. COMFORT HER. LET HER KNOW AND FEEL IN HER HEART THAT SHE IS LOVED. AMEN

    • Jodi herself appears to be a likeable person. If you listen to her talk, you realize that this is someone who, despite everything, has something valuable to offer the world.

      Clearly, she made a “wrong turn” and needs help; but I don’t think the death penalty is the answer.

      She does not appear as a “threat to society”; I don’t see how an early death – as the penalty seeks to bring about – will help our world. Clearly, we still live in male-dominated world where women are still “second class” citizens. Women are being stripped of their rights all the time, esp. now with rights to abortion and coverage for birth control being virtually eliminated in many states.

      This case is about our values as a society; do we really believe that “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” system of justice will transform a broken world? It won’t bring Travis back. Nor will it ever answer the “wherefores” and the “whys” …we have everything to gain, and nothing to lose, by refusing the death penalty in her case.

    • JODI I FIRMLY BELIEVE IN YOU AND YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.IF I HAD MONEY I WOULD SEND IT BUT I’M 71 AND RETIRED FROM NAVY.YOU WERE MISSLED BY TA .HE WAS A MONSTER.I BELIEVE IN YOU.

    • Hi Jodi,

      I know your innocent I dont know why but based on what I saw as the evidence that was brought forward I always felt you were innocent and pushed into making a statement thinking the results would be in your favour since they have already pressed the button on you as guilty without any evidence. I saw how the whole thing was set up I truely dont believe no matter how angry you are can or how mighty you feel you are physically capable of dragging a man of Travis’ stature Im 5’7 125lbs and I cant even hold up my friend whose about the same weight as me when she fainted so how can one of your height and body weight do it thats just one point theres way more but I just wanted to say from doing my own searching for my own opinion I dont believe you did this. Someone wanted him dead mormons are a tight knit secretive group they are involved just dont know how but they did it some how and made someone as shy and easy going as you to take the fall. Keep your head up dont give up on the fight for justice Jodi I know its in you. Pray that God gives you strength and a peaceful heart.

      -natty 🙂 <3

      • Yes Krissa, I too feel the same as you. I don’t know why, I feel Jodi has always been too naive and you can tell how she so innocently believed that Flores guy in the interrogation room which goes to show how naive she really was at the time 🙁

    • Jodi… I started this comment over more than once. My background story doesn’t really matter. It won’t change anything for you. But I hope you know that there are people out there who care about what happens to you. And, I just want to say too that “O’holy night” is my favorite Christmas song, and a couple years ago or a year ago, when I searched it on You Tube, you came up. I’m sorry for where you were singing, but you sang it beautifully. … I don’t know what will happen to you, but I send you strength.

    • Team Jodi,
      Everyday after work I read all updates. So amazed at what I read today. I really hope this changes a lot for you. Even if you have to go through it all over again, it’s worth it. This could change everything for you, maybe get you out from where you don’t belong. Keep your head up! all positive thoughts.
      Most of the women who support you have been in your shoes and we know exactly what you were going through. So don’t feel alone in all this. Team Jodi will be victorious 🙂

    • happy holidays Jodi. I know it must be very hard in there. your singing Christmas carols is beautiful. I hope you try and have a great holiday. i’m with you 100%. we will win. if not now then in appeal. what you did was wrong, but under self defense its ok. I cant stand juan martinez. that guy is a monster. your lawyers are trying everything they know how to do, hopefully something will work. keep a stiff upper lip. stay strong.

    • Dear Jodi and team hope all is well. Keep your spirits up as we have come so far. You have support and love from around the world. John Australia.

    • Hi Jodi,
      I am not from here and have nothing against Travis, but I feel that you have been wrongly accused by the State and especially that Martinez guy he is a terrible person and God will punish him for his actions. You are a beautiful human being who made some mistakes and who doesn’t! I pray that Martinez will not win that DEATH PENALTY for that is all he wants to flap his wings further.
      God bless you Jodi and my heart goes out to you and your family.
      Love, Anna.

    • Like most forms of abuse, Jodi’s abuse was overlooked by those attempting to administer “justice.” This is more than just about boyfriend, girlfriend issues. Travis built up Jodi’s hopes by baptizing her into his religion, casting its drug-like spell, and then committed acts which showed a dishonest belief in the same. Jodi was lead to believe that she had found a soul mate, and was then humiliated in the worse possible way. Travis was living a lie and Jodi bore the brunt of it. Her reaction, while not justifiable in the strict legal sense, was understandable.

      • Hey Jodi, I am praying for you as I hope many are. We all make mistakess…we freak out and craphappens. I feel for you. I’m 60 yrs old…been around, a 60’s-70’s girl. wild times. But anyway….stay strong. Need a shoulder ?

    • Jodi, I believe you are innocent because the way Travis treated you, brushing you off when you need his attention was very wrong. I would have given up everything for a woman like you. You are a very beautiful, and giving woman. You gave everything and got absolutely nothing back. That would make almost everyone confused and crazy. I went through a similar relationship and I did things that I would not normally do because my mind was not thinking right. A person can only take so much, before they break. I am sorry you were driven to do what you did. The courts should have taken that into their thoughts before making judgement. Courts have no mercy for anyone. God has more mercy than the courts of man. God will forgive you where as they will not. As God said there is not one person on earth that has a sole sparkling white. Jesus said, those without sin, throw the first stone. I believe you should be given a second chance at life. With some counseling you could be that person who loves life and not destroys it. You just need love and to be loved. Love can cure all things.

    • Greetings Sister Jodi Arias,
      My name is Ann-Marie Robbins, I am a sister in the LDS church (Sterling,Il). I wanted to take a moment to share with you, how our Heavenly Father has not forsaken you. Try to find the power in the Gospel and the truth in it. It saddens me to see a fellow sister, in our church struggle. I am not one to judge you. I just wish to comfort you with prayer. I hope this little message can bring some sense of hope. Try to be strong in all that you do; be patient and kind for these are keys to help you. I will gladly keep you in my prayers, and as Heavenly Father to lift your burdens. Being life long LDS I know how the church members can turn on people. If this has happen to you, I am so sorry!! It is sad that people whom are to follow the Prophet, are so judgemental. I know the Gospel is not intended to be that way. But I extend my hand, and wish you love and strength, as we are taught. . I pray your family is strong and that the love you share , will help you. Continue to sing, for the Lord loves that. I would like to tell you; I am a 52 yr old mother of 3. I have the gift of being a mother to an autistic child, to whom I named “Faith” and I home school. I am married, and sealed in the Orlando Temple. I also pride myself in being a (4yr) Volunteer coach for Special Olympics. And “yes” Faith my daughter is on my team!! It was
      my Daughter that felt i should write you. Faith, felt you needed to know people care out here. Im kinda new with all this computer stuff i do not know how to do that E-mail stuff. But I sometimes get on F/B
      I use my maiden name Ann-marie Krutsinger so if you want to send a mess, i will be able to get. I also welcome any of your family. Oh, yea my daughter “Faith” wants you to know shes also on F/B under Faith Krutsinger. Have a blessed day Jodi, and talk to the father, he’s with you………

    • Jodi stay positive. The universe does things that we can’t control
      Your innocent and should be free. Please contact me. I’m here for you
      Scott

    • Most men are pigs. Travis was a manipulative, sick man that lived in a fantasy. He got the better you and you reacted. Now he wins in a sense because you are now locked up and not free. My husband cheated on me, controlled our finances,hid money and slowly broke me down and I got lost. I feel like killing him too but my life is worth more than getting revenge on him.The best revenge is to live the best life you can. So good luck to you. Hope you can find peace and something to pass the time away because that is all we are doing here on earth.Just passing through.

    • No one was a witness to the death of Mr. Alexander and only God can be the judge of his murderer. Therefore let God be the judge of who killed him and let God decide not he guilt of this woman Arias as we cannot judge in the public as to her guilty of innocence.
      I believe only God can grant the proper justice for everyone involved as in the murder of Cain and Abel.

      • Hi Malin,

        This is the website thread devoted to messages to Jodi. They are communicated to her. You can also write Jodi a letter or postcard subject to the rules governing inmate mail spelled out on the “Write to Jodi” link above. If you would like to join the current conversation, click on the Most Recent Post titled “5th Anniversary & Happy Holidays.” Hope this helps.

    • Jodi you are an awesome woman!! Stay strong & believe!! You are a powerful female & deserve better.

    • • A Successful Appeal Idea: It would smart, with the recent media coverage of women’s treatment by men, and sexual harassment suits galore. It would be the right time to mention how Jodi was mistreated by Travis. May she could get it down to 25 tears to life, instead of Life Imprisonment. I don’t think you’ll do better than that. Also it could be proven, that although intelligent, she was mentally ill at the time. Try this method for appeal. And stay away from the temptations of the media. They will pre-judge Jodi unfairly.

    • Dear Team Jodi,
      I think a successful appeal for jodi to a lesser sentence, such
      as 25 to life, instead of Life Imprisonment, would rest upon two main
      things:

      Number One-There is a huge movement right now about the rights of
      women, and women being sexually harassed, and being treated as sexual
      objects. Jodi was treated in that way, no question about it, by a
      narcissistic male. She didn’t have the resources to deal with the
      “doggie door comments, and to have to deal with a man whom she was
      deeply in love with, who was using her for sex.

      Number Two-You must have an extremely important reason for an appeal,
      You should try to prove again, as you did, that Jodi was mentally ill
      at the time. Although she is intelligent, she still was mentally
      unstable. This will be hard to prove, because she doesn’t act that
      way. If you thumb through a Psychologist’s Professional DSM Handbook,
      easily obtainable, youll be able to find the myriad of mental illness
      descriptions, choose carefully, take it to an appeal court

      • While I saw the other Frank’s comment I also read yours Jaynie.
        I couldn’t agree more about what you said about the “victim”.
        A not even good looking (max. average or even below) and in addtion almost fat, superficial and narcissistic small guy so full of himself that any descritiopn fails.

        Also a con man claiming to be more than he actually was. An uneducatzed and ignorant fool working in a cheap and easy scam business where no education is needed, in addition holding “motivational speeches” in front of a gullible, desperate, brainwashed ovber and over and easy audience.
        “Having a house” but in need of 3 or 4 room mates and to borrow money from Ex gfs, not the kind of being successful as the media describes him all the time.
        I found it also funny and pathetic how he claimed to be a person concerned about environment and all, while pursuing a book that needs you to travel to 1000 places wordwide. Here you can exactly see how uneducated, dumb, ignorant and superfical he actualy was. That is beyond ignorant.

        But that aside, this guy is not really worth my time, a retrial aka a successful appeal can also mean death sentence again afaik, theoretically, not sure if they would go for it though but if Martinez is again the prosecutor (is that even possible?) I’ve no doubt about it. This disgusting human being has no shame and not even traces of basic decency.

    • Wrote to Jodi arround 4 weeks ago from Germany, but never received an answer. :-(((

        • Two Frank´s from Germany at same time here … That sounds powerful and is Franktastic !
          Perhaps it is a good sign and will help Jodi one day … Who knows !?

      • Jodi still receives an unbelievable volume of mail, way too much to respond to everyone, and it’s still painful for her to write because of tenosynovitis. I believe she is writing very little right now, even to old friends. She is also very busy with her library job and her college work. But she loves getting mail.

        • Alan … Thanks for Your info ! I did not know anything about her illness – I hope she does not have a lot of pain and will be fine soon again !

    • Jodi, i just watched the Discovery+ documentary about you. I truly, 100% believe you did what you had to do in the situation and defended yourself. You deserve JUSTICE. Sending love to you! <3

    • I was happy to hear that the prosecutor in you case lost his lisc to practice in Arizona. I feel like you were being lead on the stand. No one can take away your happiness and Your faith in the truth coming out. I’ve been locked up before and as long as you keep your faith. You can make it through this!!! We are behind you Jodi!!!

  2. May your guides and guardian angels help give you strength during this time.

    I believe in you Jodi and you are in my prayers!

    • IF YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN AND ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE YOU
      BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF
      DON’T ALLOW ALL THE EVIL TAKE HOLD
      BE TRUEFUL AND IT WILL SET YOU FREE

    • Jodi, You are a child of God and He loves you so much. Stay strong, pray always, be honest and share goodness when you can. As you go through your trial many as I am have been moved by the Holy Spirit to pray for you. While we can not take away your trauma and pain we can stand with you each moment in love through our Lord Jesus. Jesus is there for you, just let him carry you and guide you. Some of us have escaped ever so slightly causing harm or fatal injuries to others by our choices be it carelessness by driving drunk, using drugs or being in such an angry rage that we move dangerously or have angered others to come ever so close to harming themselves or others. We are all sinners and should not judge you and need to allow forgiveness and to let God be present. Jodi, I pray you find peace in His Love and I pray that you know that you remain a precious child of God no matter what … keep your heart open for His love, let Him Love you. Take care. MB

  3. My dear, sweet and beautiful Jodi, I have always believed in you, I’m right behind you. Keep strong, I’m thinking of you, know that you’re not alone. The truth will out, just hang in there. I pray for you every night xxx God Bless.

    Heather

  4. Hi Jodi,

    I am wishing you the best throughout your court proceedings and in the future :). God bless you.

    Love, Kira

  5. Jodi I believe in you and I always will. You have such a big heart and you are beautiful on the inside as well on the outside. Don’t’ ever let anyone treat you the way Travis did. No one deserves to be abused by the one they love. I am always on your side. I pray you are found Innocent. God Bless you.

    Jon

  6. I am a lapsed artist so I identify with you on that level. I have watched the entire trial, firmly convinced that you were a stalker before the trial began. After last week’s testimony it should be evident to everyone that you were not a stalker. Travis’s emails and voice on the taped phone message speak for themselves. You were clearly emotionally abused. Emotional abuse of that kind usually leads to physical abuse. So I do believe you. Legally you still have issues because the legal system does not recognize emotional abuse and forces you to prove the physical. I hope your attorneys can prove the physical abuse. Travis must have had issues with at least one past girlfriend. I hope you can find someone in his past who will testify on your behalf. So your charge can be lessened. This whole thing is such a shame because I believe you were many miles away and if only a year or so would have elapsed you would have moved on and been out of that relationship. You just snapped. As many woman would in the same circumstance.

  7. jodi, the truth will come out. stay strong and know only God, travis and you know what really happened. believe in yourself and pray. it will be over soon. have faith in the lord and the truth shall prevail!!! god bless you all!!

  8. Dear Jodi,
    I wanted to let you know that I am praying for you and your family. This is so tragic, and you certainly didn’t deserve to be treated the way the way that you were. Don’t lose your trust or your faith, it can be difficult I know all too well. There are people in this world who will seek out those that are kind and trusting to take advantage of them. Unfortunately, this appears to have happened to you. I am wishing you the best, and please know there are many of us here that support you.
    God bless, and stay strong!

    • Be Strong. No matter what happens, this is the path the most high has laid before you. “for I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, you will seek me and you will find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jer. 29:11-13 (paraphrased) . I can relate to you as a person, I see how you are able to compartmentalize your feelings. That ability is something most people do not understand. It doesn’t make you diabolic, or a bad person. It makes you a survivor. I am a strong woman who was sucked in to an abusive relationship and no matter how I wanted to get away, my abuser would pursue me relentlessly, till it was easier to give in than keep fighting and fighting. Finally, I have escaped and for the first time in a long time, my life is mine. That is your victory, already. You have survived and YOU KNOW the truth. In life, we forge bonds and build relationships, but in the end, we ultimately answer to ourselves and the most high. Use this tribulation to build a stronger Jodi and know that whatever happens, is part of the plan for your life and embrace it. I wish you well. Sending you some love and prayers!! <3

  9. Jody Im praying for u .I also pray you really take a long look at the King james holy Bible.Jesus wants a relationship with u not a relgion.John 3:16 Says that god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son,that who shall ever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life!!!!!! Its a free gift ( just except him into your heart and ask him to forgive u for your sins) You cant earn your way Jesus already did it for you .He did it for the whole wide world.You said Travis challenged you to read the book of Mormons,and u did .Now for some reason your life has brought u here.I believe god has a wonderful plan fo your life.Jody pray to god to show u.Jesus is the truth the way and the life no One comes to the Father except through him. The truth will set u free stay strong have faith & believe……. R.I P Travis Alexander

  10. OH JODI, I SO MUCH BELIEVE IN YOU. I CAN IMAGINE WHAT HE DID TO YOU. I KNOW SWEETIE WHEN JUAN MARTINEZ START HIS QUESTIONING, BE STRONG AND DON’T LET HIM PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH. I FEEL FOR YOU. AND AS FAR AS NANCY GRACE, SHE IS SO FULL OF CRAP. ILL TELL YOU GUS IS A GOOD PERSON AND HE BELIEVES IN YOU. TO ME HE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE YOU CAN TALK TO AND IT STAYS WITH HIM. GOOD MAN. I PRAY FOR YOU EVERY NIGHT. I BELIEVE WHEN U SAY THAT TRAVIS IS A PEDO, HE ONLY SAYS IT HIMSELF, WANTING YOU TO WEAR THOSE CLOTHES. IM SO DAM SURE. OH AND BY THE WAY YOUR LAWYERS I LOVE THEM LOVE MR NURMI LOVE HIS CLOTHES. AND DON’T LET MR MARTINEZ GET TOO ROUGH WITH HER.

  11. Hi Jodi.I really hope the jury see’s what I do.That is your a woman that was being abused by Travis and you had no other choice but to protect yourself.Just keep your head up and don’t let all of this get you down.Your a good person in a bad situation and you will rise above it.Me and other people on this site and others who are not on here are supporting you 100%.Take Care.

  12. Hello Jodi. I saw my roommate in collage indoctrinated into the Reverand Moon Unification Church. From what I have heard in your trial so far it sounds like you were indocrinated into the Mormons, all for Travis’ sake. I am in support of you.

    • Hope they find you not guilty. I was also was a victim of abuse and I wish I had the courage to do what you did to yours.

  13. Jodi! I believe everything that you have said so far, and I can tell by the sencerity
    in the way you have expressed yourself and talles about everything so. I believe
    that Travis was one of those people who tried to portray the whole “religious person”
    and yet be scandalous and fake at the same time. It’s evident since he cheated on
    his other ex girlfriend. That says it all! I do not agree you should get the death penalty
    because who are they (the system) to take someone elses life, whether they did commit
    a murder or not. Anyways, again, I believe you Jodi! Its obvious that everything
    that your saying is true, because no one else can comment on the relationship
    you had with Travis because no one else was in it but you and Him. So to those
    people who want to comment or put face or whatever are wrong! ONLY YOU and HIM
    were in the relationship and only YOU can really say what happened!
    I will keep you in my thoughts!

  14. Hi Jodi
    My thoughts are with you during this time of tribulation. I realize it must be very hard and embarrassing for you to say all the things you had to say in front of people you knew, especially your own family. Keep your chin held high, I am hoping for the best outcome possible.

  15. hi jodie im oj living in boston ma, originally from ireland, there is a saying in ireland.
    ” may the wind be always at your back” good luck to you and your family.god bless.
    oj..

  16. Jodi God Bless You….. Travis was a pig….. he set you up…… he used you…..he abused you period. I am so on your side……

  17. I feel I understand you so well, that when Kirk asks you how you felt, I finish your sentences. Feel hugged, Jodi. Thinking of you always.

    Lots of love, Heather xxx and hugs from the UK

  18. Jodi,

    There are so many people on this site that support you. I am one of them.

    Our stories are similar – I dated an egotistical, cheating idiot just like you.

    I am praying for you and your family. I hope the jury sees what I do. You are telling the truth!

    May God wrap you in His loving arms and bring peace to you and your family. May God also open the eyes of the jury to believe what you are saying.

    Much love,
    Nicole

  19. I have watched every second of your trail and it is blatantly obvious that you are innocent as a guy I can’t believe any man would do this to a woman all I can say is you go GIRL don’t give up and show them who Is boss! #fightforjodi #freedomforjodi #Unitedforjodi

  20. Jodi I truly believe you are a truly beautiful and sweet person inside and out and your only crime was loving and getting into a relationship with a controlling arrogant monster who went out of his way to play as many mind games as possible for his own self gratification and sick self pleasure till you couldn’t take anymore I have watched and followed every thing on this case and the trial from the very beginning and i want nothing more then to see you get completely vindicated of all charges be released from jail and to have a happy healthy life like you deserve ….. Please stay Strong Jodi and please know you have lots of people like myself that love you and support you

    • Jodi, I hope you have the opportunity to hear about, or even read our supportive posts. I absolutely hope you know that you have so many people behind you AT THIS VERY MOMENT- not JUST when the trial is over and a verdict has been rendered, but RIGHT NOW. Some of us have been in your corner from the beginning and for others it has taken them actually hearing your testimony. The important thing is that you have people who care, who are not vindictive, some who can relate to your story, and who truly value human life enough to not sentence someone to death without hearing the perspective of ALL sides.

      The media has been so cruel in their portrayal of your trial, but don’t you fret because many of us do not share the same view. I know I’m not the only one writing emails to those HLN jerk-reporters or calling them almost daily to defend you and/or give them another perspective. I can even dispute their judgement of your supposed ‘flat affect’ while testifying! Speaking from personal experience, I know how much you can ‘numb’ yourself to experiencing or expressing any sort of emotion after trauma. This can especially be true when you’ve experienced abuse and/or have been controlled by another person. It just doesn’t feel ‘safe’ to do so and eventually you may even forget HOW to feel or portray how you feel.

      This trial has been on my mind almost non-stop- even before the actual court trial began. When it was first reported about you converting to the LDS religion (coupled with other things) I feel I understood practically your & Travis’s entire relationship. I’ve met a few “Travis’s” and have experienced similar mind-f*cks thanks to their own internal conflict revolving around the religion. Those kinds of relationships cause you to lose who YOU truly are as a person.

      You are obviously a sensitive person, someone that sees beauty in all things, someone who values other people- sometimes to a fault. You are a wonderful artist, thoughtful writer, someone who wants to capture every moment and every beautiful thing by taking pictures, someone who values memories, details, and good times shared. You’ve fallen into a role of subjugation in regard to others because throughout your life you’ve been made to feel “less than”/ “worthless”/ “undeserving of good things”.

      I believe that prior to you dating Travis you had at least some self-concept & self-worth. Since you began dating Travis others have mentioned noticing a decline in almost every aspect of your life. It’s as though Travis sucked away any happiness & value you had, only to replace it with belittling, disgusting, demeaning acts and comments. He controlled you- kept you isolated. While he had a strong support system around him, he couldn’t bear the thought of you having anyone other than him to rely on. He must’ve been fearful that you’d “wise-up” to his manipulation and abuse if you were in contact with anyone else. He’d give you a hard time (to say the least) if you so much as spoke to a male friend, while he was obviously hooking up with whatever girls would cave to his ‘Mr. Perfect’ act.

      Thus far, I have heard you defend Travis & even take accountability for some of HIS wrongs. People say that you’re ‘dragging the victim through the mud’ by revealing some of the things you have. I believe YOU are a victim in this as well. I see you protecting Travis probably more than you should, but that also speaks to your true character. You are a good, kind-hearted person that cared (even seems to still care) about Travis. If anything, you seem to speak more favorably for him than you do yourself.

      I hope you don’t continue to blame yourself for everything that went wrong. It was a toxic relationship all around and you both should have done things differently. (Of course it’s easy to see that now) You’ve both suffered in some way or another. All you can do is learn from it, which I believe you will now that you’ve had distance and time away from it all. You seem incredibly intelligent, well-spoken, genuine, and of course physically beautiful. I’m here to tell you that you do deserve good things and are valued, not just for your body. CJ’s comment above basically took the words right out of my mouth.

      You, your family, and your (true) friends deserve peace and happiness. Although I don’t agree with any of Travis’s family, friends, or supporters I believe they deserve peace and happiness too (regardless of how much I despise them & their behavior).

      Stay strong Jodi! Don’t let that prick Martinez tear you down and try to victimize you- you’ve already experienced enough of that with Travis. Don’t let that ‘little man’ see you so much as sweat, even when he attempts to provoke and fluster you with his raving mad, condescending comments. You can be empowered to stand up for yourself. You deserve for your voice to be heard, and your thoughts & feelings to be expressed without someone else trying to ‘change’ them in order to suit their own needs. You’ve been incredibly strong throughout tough testimony & evidence. At the end of it all YOU KNOW THE TRUTH. People can dispute it all they want because no one can take your truth and your experience away from you.

      Just remember- You matter to us and we’re here for you! Take care. 🙂

  21. I’ve been following the trial on TV, got to say’ this poor girl suffered a lot of emotional / mental and physical abuse, she did everything that could be asked of someone in a loving relationship and even went against her own standards to please this guy who treated her like dirt. She’s suffered enough’ I think she should be found not guilt by reason of temporary insanity – She sure as hell don’t deserve to be put on trial facing a death penalty as a result of such a dehumanizing and embarrassing experience as she has been dragged through.

    We are with you Jodi! God bless you! and don’t give up hope.

  22. Jodi no Women deserves To be Treated like The way You have. I know You were Only trying To protect Yourself. You will Be found Innocent ! Take Care God Bless !

  23. Jodi, you need to keep the faith that the truth will set you free. There is only one true judge and only he will decide if you should rot in hell for the rest of your life . You have kept calm and kept your head up I hope you can continue to do so once the prosecutor gets a hold of you. It will be an all out war soon enough keep the faith that no matter what happens there is only one true judge who will decide your eternal fate.

  24. Hi Jodi, I watch you every day. I was a cop for twenty plus years, and I know what happened to you. I believe you to be innocent as well. On top of that I think you are the most beautiful women I have ever seen, and that piece of S–t Travis did not deserve you.
    All the best,
    Doug

  25. I just found out about what happen in your life and it had impacted mine,I was beginning to think I was the only man in this world who believes you don’t deserve the death penalty.i hope the jury opens their heart and can find Forgiveness and spare your life.my heart and tears and prayers are there for you.i hope I’m not too late…

    • please delete my post,I no longer believe she is innocent,it seems like this.while Travis was taking his shower Jodi was taking picture then said Travis look at this and had the gun pointed towards his face,and pulled the trigger before Travis could say anything,in distort Travis tryed to run with a bullet in his skull,leaning over the sink bleeding,he might have pushed her out of his way,while he ran towards the living room,it looks as if she started stabbing him in the back,he turns and she started stabbing him in the front,his hands were cut so it seems like he was trying to block the knife.at this moment he keels over and then she tryed to decapatate him.what a way to die.after the fact she killed him she got rid of the evidence and denied it,to think she is innocent is ridiculous.poor Travis didnt have a chance and his side of what happen will never be told.then after she killed him she goes and sleeps at another mans house with no remorse.

      • You’re in the wrong career. You should have been a detective, or at the very least, a writer. If her intention was to kill him, she could have done it quickly and cleanly while he was asleep….and got away.

      • Tim;
        Apparently you did not pay attention to the path of the bullet? He wasn’t shot straight on in the face. So you’ve now based your entire decision of her guilt on your imagination instead of the facts, and you did this all within a 24 hour period of time from your first post to your second.
        Jenni – You got it!

  26. Hey Jodie,
    I have been following the trial and one thing i hate is how all the “professionals” that are judging you cant even get your quotes correct. I hope all goes well and noone listens to them. I am screaming at the TV when you are misquoted by the tv personalities that is using you for ratings. I support you.
    Lynn

  27. Jodi, You have so many people on your side! You are loved AND MANY BELIEVE YOU! No matter what happens keep praying for strength and pray for your Jury, Travis family, The Judge, The Prosecution & your own Attorney. I am praying for all as well but mostly for you. Your life is being exposed in an awful manner, but in today’s society it seems like people thrive on hurting others more than showing forgiveness and love. I don’t doubt your story at all! I hope you are getting your messages to assure you that YOU ARE LOVED AND BELIEVED! To keep this in order of God’s Law, Pray for Nancy Grace as well as all Media Outlets. I pray this prayer for those that continue to trespass against you. Just as there is no rule to how one acts during a death, the same goes for someone emotionally abused.

    OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

    • i believe in GOD the father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. for all that is seen and unseen. i believe in the lord, the giver of life who has spoken through the prophets, God from God, light from light , true God from true God begotten and not made, through him all things were made, for us men/women, for our salvation. by the power of the holy spirit HE was born of the virgin mary and became man. for our sake he suffered under pontius pilate, was crucified, died and was buried and descended into hell, on the third day he rose again from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God our father, ascended into heaven. from thence he shallcome to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom shal lhave no end.i believe in the holy spirit, the holy catholic church i acknowledge one baptism for forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting …amen

    • Very wise words. I will continue to pray for Jodi and her family, and all of the rest of the people who were hurt by this horrible situation. Put your trust in God not man or Media.

  28. Jodi, Stay strong and know that many people are behind you we believe you were abused and abused horribly , i know you were so scared that day and you had to do what you had to to protect yourself and others. you are a wonderful Lady and I understanding not making waves and also we have found proof as well that Travis wasnt the Mr. Innocent that Obnoxious Nancy Grace seems to think . Dont let Nancy Grace get to you. because she too has changed her story about how her fiance died… so she is a liar and she doesnt know how to see the truth. We see what you have been through and you are well loved and supported here.

    • Jodi, we are behind you and back you 1000%. You are and ever shall be in our prayers and will be throwing a party when you get out. We know what you are going through and are rooting for you. Your family is also in our prayers. Don’t you let Nancy Grace or any other hater get you down. They are jealous because you had the strength to get out of the abusive rel. 🙂 🙂 we LOVE you and wait for the day you walk out of there FREE and CLEAR!!! Remember Stay Strong and know that you have a lot of supporters praying for you that believe in you and believe you.

      ~Chad

  29. Stay strong, Jodi! We are behind you! I cannot express enough how brave you are for testifying about your relationship with Travis and it pains me to see the grief you experience when you relive those days. Your honesty is exemplary and breaks my heart, and I have nothing but compassion for you and your family during this hard time. Don’t give up! No matter what, there are many who support you!

  30. I pray for an acquittal. If this were first degree murder (predemeditated from the beginning of the trip),Jodi would have walked into Travis’s house at 4 a.m. and killed him right then, and left without anyone ever knowing she was there. As it was, people had all day to notice her car there, and Travis had all day to make emails or phone calls to people where he might have happened to mention that Jodi was at the house (such as when he was in his den while she was showering). Had Jodi been on a stealth mission to kill, she would not have allowed such opportunities for her presence to be known.

    I have been so impressed with Jodi’s demeanor on the stand. She answers each question honestly and carefully and articulately. Seeming at times to give Travis the benefit of the doubt even when her own attorney wishes she wouldn’t.

    I had thought it was well known, especially by women, that people sometimes have trouble leaving unhealthy relationships, but the hateful comments toward Jodi on cable TV and the Internet seem oblivious to that fact. What gives? Are women just jealous of Jodi’s good looks and wanting her to die for it?

  31. Jodi, I had been in a bad relationship before and even though that guy treated me terribly, I had a hard time convincingmyself to leave him. He ultiately caused a lot of pychological damages to me and even caused me to lose my job and a lot of friends, spread a lot of gossips about me and all that …made my life miserable … before I finally left him. And even then, the first couple months after I left him, I missed him and loved him and still wished he would have a change of heart and come back to me. So I totally identify with you and understand why you still wanted so badly for things to work out between you and Travis, even though he was horrible to you and didn’t sound like such a nice guy to begin with. Don’t let Nancy Grace or people like that make you feel bad when they talk like, “it doesn’t make sense for a woman to want to stay with a guy like that … so he must not have been such a bad guy … she must hae made it up.” They do NOT know what they are talking about. It makes total sense to me … people who are in abusive relationships don’t just get out easily; it’s like the more he abuses you, the more you want to stay with him and you still enjoy every moment with him because you want so badly for things to work out. I understand totally and empathize. You’re almost like my heroine by standing up for all of us women who have been bullied by ex-boyfriends and/or husbands! People like Nancy Grace are just jealous because she can clearly see herself in the mirror and know that she can’t measure up to you! LOL! Good luck, Jodi! Stay strong!

  32. I have read 95% of everything posted here and have watched allmost all the trial footage. I had not been forsure about all the comments made about Travis until I watched the utube video where he preformed in public as a comic act to promote his business. Man to man that guy was disgusting imoral and disrespectful to women, arrogant and so on. I am ashamed that people were there actualy clapping for him and to learn that he actualy treated Jody with disrespect as he had used his real life persona as a comic act.

    I want to thank everyone for posting so many nice things about Jody, and I do believe that she was suffering from a man who was DV towards her after watching trial and the Travis video. I never new anything about Jody until I personaly met her brother (we were sitting having lunch one day and he mentioned somthing about his sister being on trial for murder) it was at that time I started tuning into this case and learning as much as possible about the truth from the media, the trial footage and this site. The Arias family has always treated me with respect and I find them to be a honorable family.

    I am a male, I personaly have been thru DV classes to correct my belief system and change my behaviors for the better of all my family. All the signs and the way it is determined to be (DV) if it is being prepretrated upon a person is totaly shown by the defense. Travis was controling, mentaly and physicaly abusive, including sodomy upon Jody which is a crime in itself. I pray that the jury does the right thing and finds her not guilty by means of self defense (becasue we all know now she was afraid of Travis) and release her from jail and allow her to be compensated for the time she had to be locked up. TO BAD SHE NEVER REPORTED HIM IN TO THE SYSTEM SOONER SO HE COULD HAVE RECIEVED HIS DV TRAINING AND CHANGED. However, I think that there are those who choose evil and will never change no matter what the choices are. Travis choice evil and the FRUITS of his life have been displayed for all to see. Throw that LDS temple card in the trash it was a fraud to cover his tracks. The video showing Travis acting like a complete idiot proves that. YOUR FRUITS WILL SHOW YOUR TRUE COLOR.

    I pray that Jody is released as soon as possible.

    Be strong today Jody tell us the truth because it will set you free

    • Matt~
      Many comics admit to using real life moments in their acts. Many are very depressed & miserable, and internalize the laughs they get, as people laughing AT them.

      Travis had a severe hate for women, I believe, as his mother was a drug addict very early in his life, not able to feed, clothe, or shelter her kids, beating them regularly, while family members stood by & watched it happen to him & his siblings…

      I cant figure out WHY they are not bringing any of this up. That to me seems very relevant in backing up JODIs claims, & disputing all these “wonderful, in tune BEST friends” who didnt bother to do more then “call” him for 5 days… Good God, they are saying his roommates were IN THE HOUSE for at least a day, with his dead body, & DIDNT NOTICE????

      I admit, I thought she may be ‘guilty of murder’, but now, when fact checking, I believe she was ‘defending’ herself, albeit a little extremely, but none of us were there to experience that terror, & therefore we cannot judge her actions. I just dont think it was premeditated Murder…

      • From what I can gather, he was their half brother. His father was married 3 times and fathered 7 children. Travis was his mother’s only child and the only child from his father’s 3rd marriage. Both his parents were meth addicts and died relatively young….Gary David Alexander (1948–1997) and Pamela Elizabeth Morgan (1953–2005). I dont know why his father’s mother ended up having to take in the other 7 half siblings, and who and where their mothers are and why they couldn’t take care of their own children.

        • Correction. According to his father’s obituary, Gary David Alexander is stated to be father of 7 children.

  33. Jodi, I listened to the accounts given by people who knew you, when you first met Travis, as well as what transpired afterwards. And, I can only conclude that, when you met Travis, you deeply fell in love with him. Also, from looking at everything shown, you were one of the few people – maybe the only person – that Travis really trusted. I guess it would be so much easier if we could simply pick the people that we fall in love with.

    Also, I do not buy the obnoxious garbage that media talking heads, and self righteous women, are spewing everywhere. They rushed to judgment without knowing the facts. I have yet to see any of your detractors say that a woman has a right to self defense, especially in a life threatening situation. And, none of them have explained how it can be proven that you were not forced to defend yourself. As far as I can see, all of the facts point to self defense – and a complete lack of any plan whatsoever.

    Jodi, if justice means that the court must recognize that you were forced to defend yourself, then I hope that everyone who prays for “justice” gets exactly what they are praying for. Also, I truly hope that you experience some better turns in life, down the road.

    Ben

  34. Jodi,

    I hope you are doing well. I can’t imagine what you are experiencing right now.
    I hope everything I have read on this site is true and you are really innocent, you are such a beautiful girl with the nicest smile I have ever seen. I hope you beat this thing and live a wonderful life and bring happiness to whomever enters your life. You are gonna go far so hang in there sweetie.
    I truly hope you are doing well in this time of sorrow.
    Best wishes and I am rooting for you!

  35. Well being a survivor of SEXUAL, EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL assault and abuse. It could be me up there in your shoes. So it is with a heavy heart I say I wish you the best. I don’t think there is enough proof however I am not on the jury. I have faith though. I have strong faith. I believe you will be victorious. One way or another. I can’t stand the thought that 12 people have control of your life but I guess it is better than just the DA. I also think your lawyers are doing a great job.

    Please remember nobody knows abuse till they are in it. We usually never tell anyone. It took me 30 years to finally start my therpy on my sexual assault and 20 years to confront my abusers of domestic violence. And I did not confront them to their face yet. I just mean I am in therpy NOW at 38. So abuse can and does last a lifetime. Nobody knew it in my family or their friends.

    Stay very strong you will come through.!!

    You are in my prayer!!!!

    Denise

  36. Jodi, we all believe in you here. You are a beautiful, smart, strong, and talented woman, and I’m so sorry this has happened to you. I have been following this website and also, by the way, adore your art. I have purchased 3 pieces–Perched, Teacher, and Pyramids, and I cherish them. I wanted to do something to show my support, and so, even though people bidding on ebay have gotten bullied a bit, I had to show my belief. I wish you all the best.

  37. I have been through a traumatic event that created PTSD and I understand the memory loss.  This is something SO HARD for someone to understand unless you have experienced it.  It changes your life forever when you realize you have lost time.  I for one still to this day try to fill in gaps of pieces still missing. Through counseling I am a survivor living day to day surviving!  The mind knows when you can or can’t handle an event and I believe it protects us. I also understand wanting Love so badly and doing whatever it takes to keep that person wanting you is not uncommon. I believe Jodi needed to be held and felt needed after such a horrible event. She had already been called so many horrible names, degraded by unloving sex and she must have felt as low as anyone could have possibly felt! She loved this man! I can tell you if surveys were honestly answered 80% of us are in unhealthy relationships. We don’t leave because our options with the way society is today, we might get worse than we already have. BESIDES THAT! WE DON’T WANT TO BE LONELY!

  38. Dear Jodi: I have watched this from the beginning…it is so obvious that you thought you deserved the comments he made and how he treated you-you didn’t. No one does. No one can go back and change any of what happened. Not sure if Mormonism teaches you this-but forgiveness from God is there for the asking, for anything that happened…your future matters. Take God’s forgiveness, forgive yourself, and go forward. Praying for you, as I’m sure all true Christians are.
    KJ

  39. I’ve been watching your trial Jodi and I am convinced of your innocence. Stay strong young lady and know that there are people out here on your side.

  40. Jodi, you poor tortured child. I have known so many gross bullies in my 60 plus years.
    You were just not equipped to handle this vain monster.
    As for the bully boys and bitches on TV, they are so cynical, filling their air waves with their hate.
    I believe in you
    Go with God.
    Bill

  41. Jodi,

    Remember that in spite of all the hate out there directed towards you, there are people who care about you and are thinking of you. Watching you testifying today, I can tell you’re a person who feels a great deal of guilt over what happened on June 4th of 2008. Stay strong and you’ll get through this. What doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger. Also remember that God is always forgiving of any sin we commit. No sin is unforgivable in his eyes. One day I very much hope that you can forgive yourself and find peace over these tragic events. Best of luck to you.

    David

  42. Dear Jodi. Thinking of you and holding you in my prayers. I know this has all been hard. I see a fragile young woman with low self-esteem. I pray that you can become stronger in yourself and know that there are plenty that are on your side in this. Blessings, Allison

  43. Jodi, my goodness, I have no idea how some people can’t see what you’ve gone through, I see it. I am not saying I’d do what you did but no one really knows till they’ve gone through it. I knew your parents in Salinas,CA, I worked for your dad at Bumbleberry’s & helped open the restaurant in Los Banos, CA.
    If they need some support please have them check they’re fb messages or their messages on their phone. My prayers are with you! May your days be filled with God’s Love & Grace. May the good Lord protect your heart through all this. I send my love to you & your family.
    Love,
    Sandra

  44. Dear Jodi, My heart breaks for what you have gone through. Having been a domestic abuse victim myself I could relate with you on so many levels. No one knows but the victim who is facing another beat down whether it be mental or physical what you might have to do to save yourself. Sweetheart you stay strong talk to God, keep bad thoughts out of your head. You are a very strong young lady, who just got mixed up with an abusive person. You are so lucky to be alive , it could have gone the other way. Jodi you survived, you did what you had to do to survive and there are so so many people praying for you and sending you love and light everyday. CM / Team Jodi.

  45. Jodi, please stay strong. Jodi My mother and friends were victims of abuse by the men who claimed to love them my friend took a lot from her boyfriend she made excuses for his bad behavior i stepped in and he hit me. People who do not know do not understand my father used to hit my mother and humiliate her and she stayed for 9 years so i get it you don’t say anything because of the stigma so you suffer in silence. I went out with a man and even with an order of protection he still would threaten to kill me and then tell me how much he loved me while he was choking me so i understand I wish I were on your jury. STAY STRONG SISTER.

  46. Hang in there Jodi…You can find Jesus without joining any type of cult, church or so-called faith because He didn’t create religions, mankind did, and He not above forgiving even your sins…but mankind is. The true word of God reminds us to “Call on him and ask his forgivness and he is faithful and just to forgive us ALL of our sins”.
    Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together saith the LORD : though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

    After you ask God’s forgivness, Travis’ family’s forgiveness (ask their forgivness and be sincere, even if they don’t give it, forgive them and let them be accountable to God only just as you are, and understand their position on that) Read Romans 8:1, it talks about how God does not hold our sins over us so then you have to forgive yourself after that. Otherwise forgivness left unchecked will destroy you and everyone you come into contact with.

    Read John 8 regarding casting stones, but also dont forget the most important of that chapter where after she was forgiven, Jesus told her to “go and sin no more” because that is the key to staying free.

    There are some true Christians out here who know that God loves you and we love you too. Anyone of us could be in your seat for one reason or another. God Almighty is the ony Just Judge and only He can condemn your soul to hell…not Nancy Grace(less) and may He show mercy upon whomever he chooses regardless of what any of us thinks.

    Praying for you

    • I wish to comment to C. Nevarez–It sounds like you are making Jodi’s act of self defense into a sin for which she has to ask forgiveness. This sounds wrong to me–self defense is not a sin, and it shouldn’t be thought of that way.

      If you think of self defense as a sin, and if Jodi thinks of self defense as a sin, there’s a good reason for the inconsistencies in Jodi’s testimony–Jodi is still be tortured mentally by false beliefs that make her act of saving her own life a guilty thing.

      Jodi, if you are reading this, please let this nonsense go–please let the religion that allowed Travis to abuse you and remain a so called “virgin” go. Please don’t let yourself be judged by hypocrites and a hypocritical religion. You are innocent in every logical sense of the word. Please do yourself and every woman who has been abused, like you, in exactly the same ways, the right of walking free out of that den of prosecution and blanket sexist condemnation that we currently call our legal system. Please don’t listen to anyone who insinuates that you have anything to repent for or be sorry for–you defended yourself. You are a human being, like every other human being, regardless of sex, and you had the right to defend yourself.

      Please–listen to me. You are not guilty, and I know how much it will hurt to say the words that will show everyone how not guilty you are, but you have to say them regardless. It will be the hardest thing you will ever have to do in your life–I know how it is–but you CAN do it. You were strong enough to defend yourself physically from a 200 pound man, and you are strong enough now to say what you have to say to defend yourself from accusers who don’t care about justice and only want to see your blood. Defend yourself–you owe yourself a decent defense that only you can truly give yourself.

      You know what I mean–the trauma of a trauma victim occurs when the trauma is relived, not when the actual trauma occurs; you will have to face that trauma in order to make your story “make sense” to a jaundiced and to all appearances, uncaring court–and the only way to face that trauma is to tell the truth as you know it; the truth is your trauma, but in your trauma is your freedom from prison, on multiple levels. Face your trauma, your memories of your abuser, and walk free. Your walking free will make so many millions of women who have suffered what you have suffered feel that they have the ability to walk free, too. Walk free. Get out of there. They have no case and no right to imprison you, let alone put you to death!

      • Very well said Anna!!!! Jodi our whole family is praying for you especially for Wed. when you are back on the stand stay strong we love you and are right there with you all the way!!!!!

  47. Dearest Jodi.We are still rooting for you and even though you have no idea who we are,you do have supporters in many places.I can’t honestly say i know how you are feeling to be in such position,but i can only imagine.Its no walk in the park to have to fight for you life and not knowing what the out come will be.I know there are a lot of people saying negative things even though they have no idea what is the truth.
    Most times it is easy for others to judge others when they are not in the same situation and they think they are above mishap in life. and it is easier to be negative than positive.I know some where in your daily thoughts and reflections of the past few years you must have wish if you had only one moment in time and every time i think of your situation i also wish if there was only one moment in time for you to go back and be some where other than in the situation that you are in now.I pray and hope God will help you and continue to give you courage.
    May his grace and love keep you strong.
    Remember he said fear not for i am with you always.
    He will not leave you or abandon you at the hour of your needs
    God still love you and he will never for sake you.
    Much love
    Chloe

  48. Jodi, I think you spent enough time in jail and deserve your road to freedom. Dont give up hope and stay strong!!! Supporting you all the way 🙂

  49. I’m not a fanatical follower of this trial… but I know some of the backstory. It makes me a little melancholy, cause it reminds me of a relationship I was in. It was one of those strange relationships that’s more than friendship, but less than a committed relationship. It persisted secretly for years through several girlfriends of mine, and several boyfriends of hers. It was like a habit that neither of us could give up… even though we both knew we should. It’s hard being in love with someone you know isn’t right for you.

    There are many levels of love… and sometimes it happens between two people that can’t be together… but also that can’t not be together. I guess that’s the tragedy of it.

    Anyhow, it affected me to point that I made a YouTube video on my channel.

  50. I have been where you are Jodi. Loved a man more than life itself and willing to do anything to prove it while all the while he is using and abusing you. Come on, I heard your reaction when he talked about tying you to a tree and I could tell you were trying to “act” turned on to make him happy. Let’s face it how many women have fantasies like that? Not many, men are perverts women’s fantasies are much difernt than that. He mentally and emotionally abused you, I have been there.

  51. Hi Jodi… have been watching your trail and I have to say that I believe you acted in self defense. I experienced almost 16 years of abuse from my wife – emotional, physical, financial, sexual – so I know where you are coming from. All I ever wanted was to have a normal life and to be loved by her, so I stayed… just could never bring myself to leave. And I put up with the abuse. I never snapped but I did come close a few times. I mean, after the 44th affair who wouldn’t. My only advice is hang in there and pray that Heavenly Father helps the jurors get a glimpse – from your testimony – of how hard it is to break free from an abusive relationship. And I pray that if you are found innocent and can get your life back that you’ll learn to get away from anyone that ever abuses you again – run, not walk away! Your life is worth so much more than any abusive relationship!!! Stay Beautiful – Mel

    PS. Not all Mormon guys are pervs!!!

  52. jodi, i do pray for you every night during this trial. i am only about 10 miles from palm desert and think about you daily during your trial. god bless, i pray all is right with right, meaning…. if you truly killed in self defense, i support only that. please email me back if u ever need a “mail-a-buddy” yours truly, jenna

  53. Jodi my name is thasleem I am from hong kong. Please be strong you have my support and preyars here. Be strong and perform good there. We are all supporting you. That guy play games with your life, he deserve more than this he is a psychopath

  54. Jodi, I pray for you and have no pity for the man who clearly abused you. Just remember to answer the DA,s question very slowly and don’t let him control how fast you respond. He will surely make an ass out of himself. I do believe you will be found guilty of manslaughter but you’ll have another life!

  55. Jodi, stay strong. I have been watching your trial and I believe you are innocent. That this was done in self defense. I can’t imagine how hard this must be for you up on the stand. My prayers are with you and wishing you luck <3 🙂

  56. Hey Jodi just want to let you know that you have people out here praying for you!! We love your strongness and just keep your head up high!! We love you!!

  57. Jodi, I am praying for you dear. I think you need help, and I think you need lots of love. Please believe in your heart — no matter what — that you are always God’s blessed child. I believe we have all made sacrifices, committed crimes, loved, hated, been tormented in hell, and sung with the angels … we are all one with God. Let’s pray for Travis too. He is our brother, and you are our sister. I have watched you on television and have been worried about you. Be strong and face whatever it is you have to face, but try to believe that there is a higher power — that is pure love — that will never turn it’s back on you. I cannot understand what you did, but I know heat of passion does crazy things to people. That was not you. That was not the child God made–and He knows it. He made you beautiful and perfect, and that is who you really are. And that is who Travis really is. Please hold onto that thought and don’t fall into an empty, loveless abyss where you can’t feel love anymore and don’t know who you are or if you are even worthy of being loved. Don’t lose yourself. We all are capable of getting very angry when we have been abused. That does not mean it is right to hurt someone, and we have much to learn about turning the other cheek, love and forgiveness. No matter where you are right now, you can try to think aright, believe in God, be humble, and do what is right one moment at a time, one day at a time. I believe the only real relationship you have is with God, and you can have that anywhere, work on it anywhere, no matter what else is going on. Just keep going and know someday we are all going home — to Love. I will continue to pray for you.

  58. Dear Jodi,
    I’m a former USMC Staff Sgt (retired)
    I’ve seen the look of people who are serious killers. You are not this kind of person just from seeing your pain in court and your other photos as well. I have also seen the Photo of Travis in the shower. That is the image of a heartless cold blood killer. I can see it in his eyes just from the photo of him. I’m so sorry you have become entwined in this travesty of a trial. PLEASE remember many of us are praying for you. With the pressure you are under the prosecution is trying to make you break. Do NOT Give IN!!! No matter how much it hurts or makes you feel all alone. Know that there are those of us out here who are on your side praying for you and we will continue to do so.
    They will use anything they can to try and break you down. Hold tough young lady! Stand your ground no matter what. You were obviously in love with the wrong type of man. He was a child who treated you like a possession or a toy and not like the lady you are inside. This happens to attractive women such as yourself by men in power or those looking for it. Because they have or want power they believe they have rights over you. It’s sad but that it the way they see the world.
    You were lured in and fell prey to the ambitions of a sexist manipulating evil person who only pretended to love you and then broke your heart. Out of fear of this loss I think you lost part of yourself in trying to hang on to it. I’ve lost a love the same way. Someone hurt me deeply as well. That is why I’m here telling you to hold on! You can walk through the fires of hell if you have the strength. I pray the jury in this case will see the prosecution as trying to frame you when you were only defending yourself the only way you knew how at that time. It’s OK to cry and let the emotions out. But always remember that no matter what God and his son Jesus are there to surround you with their angels and protect you.
    If you have faith in God and in them you will come out of this OK and stronger. You will be an advocate for the abuse women suffer at the hands of powerful men. Not a gentleman or a kind caring man, but evil men. I and thousands of others are all praying for you each and ever day. I’m an older gentleman who may or may not be here much longer depending on God’s plan for me. I’ve lived my life, and I if could, I’d take your place in that courtroom to keep the wolves at your door at bay.
    May God bless you, and keep you safe from any harm.
    Mike in Virginia

    • Wow!!Beautifully said. You Are A True Gentlemen. I hope Jodi is able to read your post!May God Bless You and Stay Strong Jodi!!!

    • beautifully said! hang in there jodi, you have a lot of prayers going up for you. love you sweetie.

  59. My God, Jodi, I’m so sorry that you and your family are going through this. I cry for you all and I pray for you and your family. I pray that you get through this but also get help. While the abuse seemed subtle, it builds and it is real. You cannot take this lightly. As a victim of abuse, I can tell you that your experiences will simply not just go away. You have to work on it; and being a smart girl I believe that you will. And when you do you could benefit many young ladies who are on a similar path; perhaps you could write a book to bring this kind of abuse out into the light.

  60. Jodi, hang in there, it will be over soon. Many people believe in you, and care about you! The jury will too. Don’t lose faith! Just know it will be so.

  61. Jodi,

    Please know that there are many, many people who see your truth. I am so impressed with how honest you are in your testimony. Even though the media focuses on your initial denial, you have more than made up for it in your bravery to tell the truth in front of the world! The truth is MUCH harder to tell than lies. Yet, you told it. 🙂

    Christ warned his followers that they would be persecuted, like Christ himself was persecuted. Even the religious leaders during Jesus’ time didn’t understand how he could eat with prostitutes. They judged the son of God! Do not feel disheartened that they judge you. Their hearts are cold. Their eyes seeing but not perceiving. Their ears hearing but not understanding.

    For in the way they judge, they too will be judged.

    Also please understand that those who judge you have not watched your trial (or at least the vast majority). They rely on the media to tell them what to believe. Their view is skewed away from the truth.

    Hang in there….. when you need to, close your eyes and feel our prayers!!!!

  62. Dear Jodi, these wishes for your victory come to you from South Africa. I believe in you. Travis was a user and abuser of note, and he clearly took advantage of your love for him.

  63. Jodi,
    If you read any of my previous comments, you will see that I understand what you were going through. Just remain strong and keep your faith in God. I know that you may not have a really good picture of God based upon what was demonstrated to you in that relationship. The picture painted was not one of God and the sound of the voice speaking was not God’s voice. I want you to know that God does exist. Close your eyes and search inside for that true Jodi that was stolen away through lies and deception. In that quiet moment, look for that beautiful pure heart that loves and has so much life and creativity. In that moment you will find God in your heart and He will speak to you and comfort you. Take comfort in the fact that God says that He will never leave you. None of us know what tomorrow brings to our tables. Just trust in God to be with you always and keep fighting. I look forward to the day that you walk free. I will always be praying for you. Remember that many of us love you.

  64. I have to say that I am on Jodi’s side on this one. Everyone makes mistakes in their life. Some may appear worse than others, but we all do it at one time or another.

    I pray that God forgives Jodi for her mistakes, which I’m sure he will when she asks for his forgiveness unless she has already. I for one know your hurting Jodi and I feel really bad seeing you on the stand. I know you’re scared, but as hard as it is, please pray for peace. Pray for the jury to come up with a not guilty verdict and put all your trust in God. God answers prayers. Believe me, he does. Stay strong Jodi and know that God loves you and he knows your pain and so do I.

  65. Jodi,
    KEEP THE FAITH. God is with you. Always believe in yourself. Things happened that cant be changed in this lifetime but in another. Always keep calm and speak the truth. Good luck to you!

  66. dear jodi as i sat and heard you on the stand testifying to what happened and what he did to you and said to you i know you are telling the truth it took me back to a time in my life when i was treated the same and it makes me so annoyed that your even in a court you should be enjoying your life freely dam Travis we are all with u 100 per cent xx

  67. I really wish, for you, that our laws were more understanding of the abused. I believe that you were defending yourself. I hope it helps your heart to know that there is one more person who is on your side!!

  68. What I find quite amusing is the facial expressions of Travis’s sisters. One looks scarry and the other looks as if she is taking notes the entire for what??? is she part of the Jury or is she taking notes for the prosecution who appears to me like he should be retired by now or does she plan on making money on this trial by writing a book? Hmmmmm…..

    Jodi, you did a great job the past two days. Do not let the prosecution bowl you down. Apparently Travis’ close friends and sisters did not know Travis as well as they thought.

    When I had seen on TV last night Travis having shooting practice it just rectifies my feeling about how he was a good actor with those around him. His friend, the one constantly on Nancy Grace needs to get a more productive life instead of repeating the same comments on TV over and over again he has gotten boring. Blah,,,,Blah,,,,Blah……

    Peace out Jodi…I totally support you.
    Heather

    • I know I agree, one sister looks weird and the other appears to have a smirk on her face the whole time?? even when they’re talking about gory details, weird!!!

  69. I would like to get your intake in how this trial is and has effected you mentally and emotionally , Also how has this affected your family ? Psychology speaking no one knows what was going through your head , as for when someone is being mentally and physically abused and hit a breaking point ! It is possible that when a person has committed this type of act that a person will continue to do what they’re doing because they are afraid that that person will come after them and fear for their life during that moment and time ! There have been cases where the person committing this type of act , all the person wanted to do is stop that person , not to kill them and each person reacts differentially in these types of cases ! Like I said no one knows what you were experiencing mentally and emotionally !

  70. I have been where you are (minus the final outcome). Travis used you. He kept you coming back and led you on. You obviously loved him and he didn’t feel the same, but he still used you up! And he TOTALLY played with your head and he was not what everybody thought…..he was a nasty boy behind closed doors, but only for what HE wanted. I can’t imagine you got a lot of pleasure in that department from him. Good luck to you.

  71. Jodi,
    My heart goes out to you. I have been following the trial since it started in February and after watching today, I have to say that I am in your corner. You, sweet girl, put Juan Martinez in his place. You threw his nasty manner back at him. Although it may not have been good for your case you showed that dip stick that you are not dumb and stupid. His personality type is easy to push over the edge which may be to your advantage! From what I can see he is a hot head and it is his way or no way, in other words he has some control issues! His treatment of you is down right ridiculous. You are a very strong women. You life is not over and you are not doomed, you still have a lot or life left in you so fight for it. Think of it like this, life is a struggle no matter where you are or what you are doing, if you want something bad enough you have to fight for it, you have to believe in it. So start believing in yourself have faith in yourself picture yourself free from prison life. I hope this email gets to you. Hang in there……….
    Sharon

  72. Jodi, I have been watching your trial. I am sorry that this happened to you. I see and feel your suffering. Like you, I have also been a victim of abuse by men, especially arrogant, perverted, self absorbed jerks like Travis. But, I was able to leave without harming them. However, there were times when I felt like killing them. They use you, abuse you and then dispose of you like toilet paper. I know what is like to feel like the under dog. Just know this, no matter what anybody says God forgives you and will help you. he will not judge you and will be there when no one else is. One day you will find the peace and happiness that you were not able to find in this world, Good luck my friend!

  73. Jodi stay strong, you may not know this but you got people pulling for you every day and hoping the best out come for you.
    Most people don’t understand and because they have never been in the situation you are in they think there is no way it is possible for a person to be abuse by another and the person keep going back,God has been with you from the beginning and he will continue to be with you.I know it is not easy for you but just keep on staying strong you just got few more miles to go and God is one step ahead of you and so he will lead you down the path of victory.
    Wish it was under different circumstances i am writing this.
    I hope when this is all over some day i will see more of your drawing and photos on display some where because you have got talent and you are a beautiful person.
    I honestly think you wasted so much time on Travis and most likely you could have become more famous and wealthy than Travis ever could imagine..He knew that you were above him on every level and that is why he continue to drag you down and put you down so he could feel better about himself.
    Stay focus Jodi..Much love
    Chloe

  74. I am behind you, Jodi. Stay strong and be confident. I have faith that the jury will believe in you, believe that you were truly in fear for your life. You are a beautiful woman, and should be able to have an enjoyable and wonderful, and put this all behind you.

  75. Whatever your reason is your reason alone. Like people said: only God can judge you. Be strong, and be forgiven. It’s NO ONE’s business but your own.
    “I have woven a parachute out of everything broken.” ~ William Stafford, American Poet

  76. You did GREAT today Jodi!!!! Get alot of rest this weekend can’t wait to see you kick his ” little” but on Monday!!!
    Alot of people believe in you and I would love to see you walk out of that court room a free women, Keep this up and you just might!!
    God Bless You Jodi

  77. The one thing I see with you is that you cry real tears, this is not the actions of a cold blooded murderess.
    Many times I have been around men like Travis. He wasn’t capable of caring for you or anyone else. He was emotionally dead. I am so sorry you had to go through this.
    Dale
    (I am a girl)

    • Yes, that’s what gets me about Jodi. She’s so vulnerable and really does cries real tears. She sits there so quiet, so down, and so defeated. That’s not fake. Casey Anthony was fake and callous. I do not see those traits in Jodi. I think she was so abused and humiliated that she just lost it. I never say never because you never know if that could happen to any of us as well. But, a lot of people like to judge and are never capable of putting themselves in someone else’ shoes. It is also called empathy. very few posses this quality. This site is full of people who are very clearly empathetic people.

  78. Jodi you are my new HERO! I just finished watching the end of the prosecutions ridiculous attempt at a cross and you stayed calm, cool and collected. I am in your corner. You stand for every girl who has ever been used and abused by some creep I can tell you are a very intelligent and sweet person. You cannot measure a person’s worth by their worst act. Yes I know what you did was wrong, but I know it was done for a very good reason. I wish you all the best of luck and know we are all beside you! Jesse

  79. It seems to me what happened is very clear. It was self defense. She gave up everything in her life for Travis he used and abused her. Yes she killed him but only to save herself. I just hope that the jury can read between all the lies and bull to the truth of the matter.

  80. Its apparent that Jodi is innocent because she was defending herself. Where’s the fingerprints? How about the new boyfriend? I think he had something to do with it. This case is a classic case about prosecution trying to rack up unjust convictions and make a name for himself. Jodi’s memory loss is out of fear. Trauma usually causes memory loss. She was abused. Travis got what he deserved. the prosecution has to bite his tongue and grin and bear this one. Thanks.

  81. You would be an amazing woman to have as a wife,i see love,respect,and just a beautiful women who met the wrong sadistic man,much love jodi to you and your family

  82. I’m so disappointed that in this day in age no one is considered “INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty” Instead, Jodi is being crucified in the media and painted in the way the media has wanted to portray her for ratings. Usually the truth is always stranger than fiction and just because the prosecution have a “theory” that might be easier for people to wrap their heads around, doesn’t make their theory correct!

    Everyone is commenting on Jodi’s demeanor and how she is acting “confident” and unlike someone who has been a victim of abuse. I would like to remind everyone that Jodi has probably changed since 2008. I am sure Jodi has “toughened up” since being in prison and is probably not the same person she was when she was with Travis. She has been in prison for over 4 years now and I’m sure she has developed a backbone and has learned to better deal with bullies. In fact, Jodi even testified on the stand that “I have developed a backbone since then.”

    Regarding everyone’s comments about her “selective” memory, in preparation for trial, Jodi was given receipts, proffers, phone records, photographs, etc. These documents contained times/dates, etc. I’m sure that after she reviewed all of these documents thoroughly they jogged her memory. These documents would have allowed her to remember the “minute” details she may not have remembered otherwise. This explains why she knows some dates and not others.

    Also, in regards to Travis’ friend who stated that because Travis did not tell him that he owned a gun so he couldn’t have owned one. Travis also claimed he was a virgin to all of his friends. His friends clearly did not know Travis the way Jodi knew him. This is a very common occurrence in these types of relationships. Maybe Travis didn’t want his friends to know he owned a gun. Maybe Travis didn’t want to shoot a 22 caliber at a gun range where he and his friends are all videotaped shooting machine guns. There is no way to assume whether or not Travis owned a gun based on what he did or did not tell his friends.

    Anyway, I’m sad that this all happened for everyone involved. I’m sad that Jodi went through abuse. I’m sad that Travis’ life ended. I just wish people would make the assumption of innocence rather than the assumption of guilt and realize that just because the media says something doesn’t make it the truth. I just don’t think that Jodi is a the monster that she is being portrayed to be. I think she was abused and her choices were shaped by the experiences in her life. More importantly, I think that everyone deserves a fair trial without being crucified! “Do not judge, you don’t know what storm I’ve asked her to walk through.” -GOD

  83. Been there & done that…I know what is like to love someone & wish. I believe in my heart you loved him.
    Unfortunately he spoiled & created your turmoil. Be strong you beautiful young lady!!!

  84. Hi Jodi,

    Take heart in the fact that there are so many women out there who can completely identify with you. We have known plenty of Dr jekyll, Mr Hyde men. I can tell you are being truthful how everything happened. I gave an interview on the Phoenix news two days ago and told the world that. I admonished the media moguls in my interview. They are nothing but a lynch mob and like to keep the drama up for their ratings. Pay no attention to them because critical thinkers see right through their BS.

    I completely understand why you did not discuss certain aspects of your relationship with others, reference negative things in texts or write about them in your journal. Any intelligent person knows not to ever write down something you do not want to be read by someone else eventually. You don’t want to tell people negative things about your relationships as all they will do is say “then leave them.” If you are really into someone sometimes you don’t come to realize how depraved they are until you have fallen deeply in love with them. It’s not that easy to leave them. Believe me, I know. In your case I feel you were truly addicted to Travis but over time grew more and more resentful because of the way he dismissed you.

    You are so much more intelligent than that Pitbull of a prosecutor. People use their brawn when they don’t have much for brains. Stay cool and collected and know that he is no match for you and don’t let him twist the truth around. Stay with the truth at all times and they will not be able to trip you up. If you beat this rap I would love to see you go to law school and advocate for abused women.

    I just wish there were more men than women on the jury as most men are going to side with men. But I bet at least some of the women understand what you went through and why you had to do what you did. IMO you have probably saved innocent children from this monster. He DID NOT HAVE TO TALK TO YOU THE WAY HE DID. He could have been decent to you and none of this would have happened. You have done women everywhere a huge favor standing up to this bully. It’s unfortunate the gun had to discharge but accidents happen unfortunately. Just know we are in a time of extreme empowerment of women and you are a fantastic example of that!

    I listen to all the commentary at night and many people who can be objective are absolutely in awe of how you are handling yourself under pressure, how composed you are and how you are standing up to the prosecutor. If you stick with the truth meticulously, I am confident you will win your freedom back. Whatever you do, don’t lose your credibility. And remember, all it takes is for one juror to have the smallest doubt and I am certain you have achieved that already.

    Also, just want you to know you are a beautiful person, a kind person, a giving person, a very talented person, and have so much to offer the world. We have enough innocent people behind bars right now. You are not a threat to anyone and this incident would never happen again in a hundred years. They have already admitted you have beaten the death penalty and the worst would be murder II. I am praying for manslaughter or negligent homicide at the worst but strongly feel you deserve to be acquitted. I don’t think you should spend one more day in prison and will be praying you walk out of their completely free.

    You have thousands of people behind you and we all support you and speak on your behalf. Stay true to what happened and Juan will not be able to get an upper hand on you.

    Good luck tomorrow kiddo!

  85. Hey Jodi! I have been following you’re case since it started. I love how today, Mr.Martinez thought he was going to”grill” you but you totally turned the tables against him!!! At the end he looked sooo hopeless!!! I love you for staying strong and keeping you’re posture!! Keep you’re head
    up high and know that people here ( specially me) in southern California are rooting for you!! I love you!!!!
    I

  86. Jodi GREAT JOB on the stand today! You kept it together and didn’t let Martinez intimidate you. And when he asked if you had a memory problem, I admire how you stood up to him. I know this is a tough time for you, but stay strong. You have a lot of people out here in Cali that are behind you. You’re in my prayers <3 🙂

  87. Hey Jodi, just dropping you a line to tell you that you are loved and supported by myself and so many others out there!!! You did great on cross examination today, keep on going Jodi and keep your spirits up. I am praying for you daily!!! Also I love your artwork on e bay, you are a wonderful talent and a beautiful woman!! God bless you honey.

  88. Jodi I want you to know that I am So VERY proud of you, I am overglowing (good typo!), meant to say overflowing with admiration for you, the way you are handling Martinez, is simply amazing. I am sure I wouldn’t have been able to have done it. You are simply Marvellous! I LOVE YOU for the beautiful person that you are inside, which matches your beautiful face, you have such a good heart. I continue to pray for you and you are in my thoughts my every waking moment, even when I’m asleep, too! I want you to know that you will always be welcome in my home in the UK, it would be an honour to have you stay here with me and I’m sure we would have so much fun and laughter together, heard you have a great sense of humour and I’m sure I would make you laugh, I make myself laugh sometimes,(its hard not to!)
    I want to go right through my computer screen and give you such a big hug when I am watching you, you pull at my heartstrings. Hug yourself from me. Feel truly loved, Jodi because you are.

    Stay the strong woman you are, love from Heather xxxxxxx

  89. Yes, I forgot to say, Jodi, keep on making Martinez look the fool he is, you’re doing a GREAT job of it! 🙂

    • Jodi.It’s so painful to watch such a bright,beautiful woman,suffer because you chose life over death.
      You were atttacked and reacted as any one would have.God will not allow you to be beaten by that loud mouth dwarf mortoonez.You’re smarter,far better spoken and God is on you side.Always remember when he raises his voice he is no longer the adult in the room

      All prayers to you
      supporter from afar
      Bill

  90. You are AWESOME Jodi! Keep praying and stay strong! There are a lot of folks out here rooting for you!

  91. I want your freedom, Jodi. You deserve it, you have been through far too much, but you know, you are so strong now. I missed the cross examination trial because my computer played up, but I think it was just as well, because I don’t think I could have taken it all at once, I now can see it in 3 parts, much better. Every time I see that vile apology for a human being, Martinez, I feel so much anger and hatred for what he is putting you through, but you keep your cool, its astounding. Just keep on keeping cool, he’s making himself look really bad, I’m thrilled about that! 🙂 I can honestly say that in living memory I have never come across such an evil person before, as Martinez. I wish him the worst imaginable.

      Our Dearest Jodi,
      May God , bless , and help you ; guide and protect you ; give you strength and grant you peace.

      I believe and I know that you loved your boyfriend , ‘with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might ” read the Schma Yisrael and the Amidah in the Old Testament .. The Torah We are all Gods’ Children, Keep on praying (duvening) as we are all praying for you too. God does hear your prayers and he will help you. Also Pray for all the women in the world who are abused as well. .
      You had been betrayed severely and abused as millions of women are ,each moment of every day.
      You are even now being abused and hounded literally in the trial, and fight for your life; by people who are insensitive , and don”t understand you; and they don’t have the capacity to ask you about your inner feelings . They only see the brutality of the act, and they are incabable of looking beneath the surface to your Innocence ; In my mind these people have’nt yet evolved. They themselves enjoy lowley aspiration of ‘power , and fame They dont care about you as a human being’ ;They are oblivious to the fact that they are playing with a young woma’ns life ; who is desperately in need of all the care, and love and help she can get to be well . It doesn’t interest them in the least to look beneath the surface to your innocence , and that you can be helped.
      My Mother Bless her always believed in Poetic Justice. I too believe in Poetic Justice.
      It will all come back to haunt all those who are abusing and who are hounding you; while you are keeping them at bay in the fight for your life.
      Jodi I know that you can and will make a success of your life.
      I have a son of 26 and a daughter who is 24 who live in in Israel.
      They are at school in Israel I’m 61
      God Bless you, your Family and Friends.
      Be Strong ; never give up.
      Take special care of yourself too.

      Pray (duven) ,
      Best Wishes
      Love,
      Michael

      • Our Dearest Jodi,
        I suggest that you speak to your defence, and consider reading my letter to you out loud in court.

        God Bless you
        love ,

          Your family and friends hear your desperation and your cries too.
          We all know that you loved your ex boyfriend with all your heart,and with all your soul and with all your might ;
          You need all the kindness, and thelove we can give you , sothat you can get well
          Never give up hope ; always have faith; God and Jesus must listen to your prayers..

Consider donating your living being and all your organs to saving lives My suggestion to you is that yoiu discuss that with your family and friends your attorney , doctors and legal council ;sothat the necessary arrangements can be made . Write your request in your will and that you insist on having it all done at the best hospital with the best team of doctors. Then announce this in court while at the sametime proclaiming your innocence. I know in my heart that you had been ill at

          • jodi i sent you a beautiful letter which may help you , bt i dont swee it posted here please ask your team to retrieve it as its important

  92. You did great today
    I was so proud when you shut down Martinez
    You go girl
    It won’t be long until you walk right out of that awful jail
    We’ll have a parade!
    In Mesa

  93. Hi jodi! It’s kimmie. I hope I have received my post cards. I praying hard for U! U were on fire today to JM. Stay strong!

    • Hi Kimmie!

      I’d love to send our Jodi a card too, how do I?

      Jodi,
      Not to joke, but what happened to you is one of those ‘had to be there’ type situations and I was there. Thank you for opening up this wealth of communication amongst women who HAVE been there& know how twisted things get with an abusive, secretive, no good, filthy,lying,cheating, malevilent “CHRISTIAN” mother FUCKER can spin.

      I send you all of my positive energy. You really brought women who have been there together& I WILL venture to say through his life taken, plenty of battered women’s lives have been saved because of your torture/ dialogue you opened.

      With sympathy, empathy, gratitude& sisterhood,

      G

  94. please hold on to hope. i love you. i believe your story. stay strong. i wish i could take you away from all this. you dont deserve this. i wish i could help.

  95. Jodi, You have saved several others from the horror that befell you. Unfortunately the system cannot process that you are the victim and that you eradicated the evil that preyed on innocence. Yes, the devil does walk the earth but he met his match when he tried to corrupt you. Whatever the price you will pay is unfortunate for you but God has chosen you to do battle with the devil. You will prevail. Someday this trial will be used as example for “putting the victim on trial” and I don’t mean TA. You, Jodi, are the victim of diabolical forces but those of us with the power of discernment can clearly see that the devil inhabits the entire TA’s family. The Mormons are also being exposed for the hypocrites that their cult harbors. Keep yourself healthy and strong because you have been singled out to do battle with the walking, talking devil among us. This is small consolation and little satisfaction today, but a higher truth is being revealed to the viewing public. A lot of love and prayers are being directed to you.

  96. I really don’t know how you coped with Martinez.. to say he’s impossible is an understatement, Sheesh I felt like asking him when he last went to the loo, you know, the minute and seconds and how long did it take? What is the exact time you stopped urinating in 2006? No, you know what time you went to the loo, right? Well, how long did it take?
    O.M.G 🙂 I would have run out screaming and tearing my hair out!!! Aaaaarrrgh!

  97. Jodi,

    I didn’t read fully story about your case but I am wishing you good luck and win the case. I like to see you get free and start your life fresh. Good bless you

    Henry

  98. Everyone looks exhausted, the Judge looks like she’s had a fright and I’m getting drained, Oh Jodi you deserve a medal! You’re doing amazingly, just as well you’re young or your hair would be standing up on end–mine is on the way up!

  99. As soon as I got done with with watching that Jerk, Martinez making an absolute speactacle of himself, the next second I got an email from a friend in the US:

    I needed this 🙂 I think you might appreciate it too! (Hope I’m not out of order here, so here goes!.

    One day I met a sweet woman and fell in love. When it became apparent that we would marry, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.
    Some months later, on my birthday, my car broke down on the way home from work. Since I lived in the countryside I called my wife and told her that I would be late because I had to walk home. On my way, I passed by a small diner and the odour of baked beans was more than I could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the diner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans. All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas.
    Upon my arrival, my wife seemed excited to see! me and exclaimed delightedly: “Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight.”
    She then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as she was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. She made me promise not to touch the blindfold until she returned and went to answer the call. The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while my wife was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill. I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously. Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off three more. The stink was worse than cooked cabbage. Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on like this for another few minutes. The pleasure was indescribable. When eventually the telephone farewells signalled the end of my freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself. My face must have been the picture of innocence when my wife returned, apologizing for taking so long. She asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured her I had not. At this point, she removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table chorused: “Happy Birthday!” I fainted!!!!!!!!!!!!

  100. Jodi – Your testimony was excellent yesterday (Thurs. – first day of cross examination). I’m proud of you! I also want to compliment your legal team. I am a retired attorney and it’s clear to me you have the more professional and skilled lawyers on your side. I also believe you have the angels on your side. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best of luck and success in your trial. Bruce

  101. Why Jodi has to prove her innocence since the guy is the one who was in fault. Jodi stay strong and believe in you. You will be winner and u will have to stay focused. We all pray for you and your victory.

  102. I just need to ask this….there are millions of girls who have been in bad relationships, used at some time, especially in their early years….most people in their 20’s break up because someone cheated, or a man doesn’t yet know how to really treat women the way we want, but does that give women the right to kill? I don’t condone violence, but I just did not see Domestic abuse syndrome. is grabbing a wrist wrong, of corse, but not life threatening. please straighten this out as I think it’s going to hurt her in the end…she said….”the gun just went off…we were wrestling….he said ….kill you bitch”….he said it AFTER she shot him…did he say he was going to kill her BEFORE she shot him?? If someone shot at me….I think I’d be after them too….to stop….the same way he was after her. I think she has to show remorse for Travis at some point…..right now it’s too one sided…it’s narciccistic….if she wants to get out of this alive, then there has to be remorse and far more of an explanation of what went on that day. The worst days of my life? I will never ever forget them.

  103. I hope that the jury that was chosen, were picked with people who are not closed minded. People who can see and think outside of the box.
    There are so many things in this case that makes me believe that Jodi didn’t do this. From personal experience, I know that a child learns to do things to try to get the love of their parents, (she was abused) this carries over into adulthood and it makes the person (it made me) want to do things to make the other person happy, its a thought process of “if I please them, they will love me.” with that said..
    Jodi has been very detailed on everything about the relationship, down to what they ate for breakfast. But on the day in question, she has been very vague. 1. She said she shot him as he was chasing her down the hall way, well I doubt a deadman with 27 stab wounds and a cut throat would be chasing anyone down the hallway. Medical examiners report says that Alexander was dead by the time he was shot. 2. Alexander fought his attacker, Jodi is 110 lbs, Alexander was a big man all he had to do was push her off him and he would of been able to sling her across the room like a rag doll.
    There are so many more things that makes me believe she didn’t do this. She may know who did, she may be scared of someone who is making her take the blame, I don’t know what her reasons are, maybe the person she is protecting, is someone she wants their approval or love from? ? I just hope that this jury is smart enough to pick up on these things. Justice is so blind and unbalanced.
    Jodi, if by change your attorney gives you these messages, I want you to know, that no matter what you do in life, you can never make someone love you! You can not control the other person with your actions. They are who they are, and it has nothing to do with you. You are who you are, and you will find love and acceptance in your life that is true, only when you can accept yourself. For what ever you think you may gain by trying to take the blame for this terrible thing that happened to that poor man, there is no justice for Alexander if the person who did this gets to walk free. I hope that you will find peace within your self, and realize that the truth is what will set you free. May God Bless you and my prayers are with you and the family of Alexander for their loss.

  104. Hi Jodi…
    Just a note to say Im on your side.I love how you are on the stand,and I REALLY love how you
    deal with the Prosecuter. Truth always wins out,and Im praying that the papers filed today with the supreme court will help! You have a great defense team.and lots of friends. Keep strong,beautiful Jodi.
    Im praying for you!!!
    Angel

  105. You did very well under cross examination. Keep it up. You are a very strong young woman who gave her heart to the wrong man. You can handle the rest of cross if you keep your head up and answer as you have been. Good luck to you. I hope the jury sees how Alexander’s mean streak forced you into this whole situation & resulted in you having to defend yourself against him.

  106. Jodi,

    I hope you get to read these. So many people are here for you.

    I actually think mental abuse is worse than physical abuse as I have endured both myself.
    The bruises an cuts an scrapes heal but the words always stayed in my head. An some
    of the things Travis said to you were simply horrible an I imagine you did not even
    say the worst ones.

    I myself can’t stand arrogant men. I will put one in his place in a NY minute now tho.
    It takes time an a few years to learn what a bad man is. But sometimes love over
    rides that also. I know how you felt an I know why you put up with it for so long.
    But that man was nothing but evil an hateful of woman period. An I would
    think he has a few gay tendencies myself. But to use the MORMON church
    or any church as a cover to be a good man is truly disgusting to me.

    I am pulling for you an I just hope the jury see’s what I do in you. At least one
    person is all it takes to feel what all of us here on this page feel. Prayers an much Love for
    you STAY STRONG.

  107. Jody herself said she did it…..she is sorry I believe….but in order to fly away to Heaven….as one commenter put….she should be completely honest…..lets help her be completely honest and not cloud the issues or facts….Jody you are too smart to lie so much….stop lying….tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth….girl the truth will set you free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • A.NOMY– The truth is that this woman defended herself from certain death by a hypocritical maniac. Why is it that if Travis had been the one who killed Jodi, he’d have a sore back from all the patting he would have gotten from his buddies and the rest of a sexist society, all claiming that he survived an oh-so-vicious attack from an oh-so-irrational “female.”

      But when you’re in the exact same position as Travis would have been, you’re presumed a murderer, you’re cross examined to the point of exhaustion about basic nonsense at so many points by a prosecutor who is either an idiot or crazy, and you’re persecuted by people who still persist in stating that self defense is a sin. It is not a sin. It is a right. You had the right to defend your life from Travis now, and your soul doesn’t have to fly away to god for a long time yet–you deserve the full life outside of prison that you won by defeating the man who tried to kill you; you deserve to defeat this prosecutor who wants the justice system to kill you instead of Travis.

      Just remember–you have nothing to repent for. Your soul is clean. You had the right to defend yourself, and if Travis’s family can’t accept that, they are as sick as he was. You need to accept that you have basic human rights, and among those rights is the right of basic self defense. Please just cling to that right and you will walk away from this–Martinez doesn’t have a ghost of a shadow of a doubt, and he’d need to prove you guilty BEYOND that shadow of a doubt in order to even get your life in prison. Martinez doesn’t have the evidence it would take to convict you. Just stay strong–just tell the truth, although I know how traumatic the truth has to be, and the telling of the truth is going to be a trauma in and of itself–it’s been a trauma so far, and you’ve held up magnificently. You have so much strength in such a little body–it’s amazing to every normal person who sees that you’re a person with basic human rights.

      Don’t let anyone convince you that you have anything to repent for. You have done nothing wrong–self defense is not wrong–it is a right. You have exercised your basic rights. Please just keep remembering that and you will be okay. Please be okay. (obviously, you can email me if you ever want to “talk” to someone.)

  108. Jodi- I was in an abusive realtionship and still suffer from it. I was diagnosed with post tramatic syndrome. Causing memory loss. Have you been diagnosed with PTS? It may help in your case. My heart goes out to you. Stay strong. God bless.

    • To Kate– That’s an excellent point, and I’d like to know the answer to that question, too–has the defense at least done the basic work to give Jodi even a mediocre defense? HAVE they tested her for PSTD? HAVE they looked into the number of abuse cases happen among the LDS / FLDS communities and are just shoved under the rug by pro-Mormon advocates in the judicial system? Has Jodi’s defense even looked at the sort of abuse that the LDS / FLDS inflicts on its female victims? Such abuse involves the nude picture taking, the abusive sex, etc etc–but Jodi’s testimony lines up perfectly with the testimonies recorded in the literature put out by Tapestry Against Polygamy–it’s amazing they haven’t come forward to point out the similarities between Jodi’s case and all the many cases of women who have been abused in ways so similar to the ways Jodi was abused.

  109. Good luck jodi, you will make through your prison sentence just fine. With gods help you will become a better person. becoming honest with your self will help you become more honest with others and the world. I wish you luck and good health for the rest of your days, I understand that some people find love in prison, perhaps you will too. God Speed! regards grant

  110. Hi Jodi.Im still keeping up with your trial.Everytime I see your case pop up on yahoo news I post how I feel your innocent in the comment section.I don’t pay no attention to all the haters out there.The fact is when you lied it was because you were scared and i’ll bet anyone of those haters would have did exactly the same thing if they had been in your shoes.It’s human nature to panic when faced with extreme situations.As hard as it must be your facing all of the scary abuse Travis did to you and thats what counts.Just don’t pay no attention to the negative people out there.Try to stay focused on whats going on in court and hopefully when this trial ends the outcome will make you a free woman.Thats what the most important thing is.Me and everybody else on this website wants to hear a not guilty verdict so you can go home to your family and friends.I feel if your set free it will help other women feel more confident about standing up for themselves.A guilty verdict would mean in my eyes that the justice system is willing to protect the abuser and not the abused and that would be a shame.Im pulling for you and I hope things works out.Take Care Jodi.

  111. Have you noticed almost everytime your lawyer upjects the judges overrules? Your lawyer should stick with the word “hearsay” when appliable. The judge loved that one when the prosecution kept screaming it.
    The point that should be driven home is that a 220 lbs man, who was a wrestler, charged a 105lbs girl because she dropped his new camera. If the morman boy would have stopped and thought about what was important, his camera or a girl who worshiped him he would still be alive today. But mormon or not, it is NOT ok to hit or beat up women. When or if the woman fights back it is called self-defense.
    It is strange that I have wrote this in many blogs but after a hour or so they disapear
    If Jodi herself ever reads this before Monday Feburary 25th, she needs to quit smiling. I know how satisfying it must be to make Martinez look like a fast talking used car salesman who drank to much coffee but smiling makes you look arrogant. You can`t look arrogant in front of a jury. However, inspite of the fact you are without any help from your lawyers and judge, you are doing great. You are making Martinez look bad in front of a lot of people. He is pissed but not dumb. He will review the tapes, make some changes and have his pick of a lot of advice from others. You are alone up there. Think about every word you say before you say it. He wants to hurry you. Don`t let him. This is why you are doing so well. Keep it up.
    I believe you should have growns for a mistrial anyway due to the prosecution`s witness viewing the trial and helping the prosecution before taking the stand.
    Good Luck
    Tim Brust Phx Az

  112. Jodi Arias, you inspire!

    Out of the strong came forth sweetness.

    It takes great strength & courage to get up on that stand and tell your story; the true story. A bouquet of kudos for making Dong Juan look somehow smaller than he already is. I’m reminded of a quote you were fond of from back in the Myspazz® days:

    “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”

    Einstein, right?

    I remember the time you said, “think of me as a place.” You know, I still do; and you’re still tops on my list of 1,000.

    I’ve written a few ekphrastic pieces directly inspired by some of your drawings. I’m having trouble fitting them onto a postcard though. I’ll wait to send until you are free to travel. I suspect that might be soon. I have books for you too…

    …free to fly physically, that’s what I mean…a mind & spirit as beautiful as yours is always free and cannot be circumscribed…we know that.

    Keep the light strong without forgetting that the darkness, too, can bloom & sing–

    channeling and directing assuasive waves of pure, positive energy your way.

    spirited regards,

    Will

    P.S. Give Team Arias a big ol’ high five from me. You cool, calm & collected cats are seismically kicking ass in that AZ courthouse!

  113. Hi Jodi
    Just want to wish you the very best. Whatever happened you do not deserve to get a death penalty . I do not know much about the trial or what happened on that night but from what I have seen you were a victim of being used badly which affects how we react to crisis.
    God bless you
    Olivia from Ireland

  114. Dear Jody,
    1. I am horrified the way HLN is reporting the trial and so blatantly against you. It is terrible journalism.
    2. I am on your side in that you do not deserve the death penalty!!! You are not a menace to society!!
    3. I think the position of the prosecutor and the State of Arizona is TOTALLY wrong.
    4. I am impressed with how you are standing up to the prosecutor.
    5. Hope the best for you.

  115. Dear Jodi,
    I am very sorry that no one ever helped you out of this toxic relationship and I wish you well.
    Try not to smirk while on the stand. I understand it as a nervous lips smirk, but many pundits interpret it as devilish. Just keep serious relaxed sad lips.
    You are doing very well otherwise.
    All my best,
    Viri

  116. What has happened in America to being innocent until proven guilty in a court of law? By the time HLN, Mitchell and Grace get done with a defendent, they are condemed.

    I believe in your innocence. I am 78 years old and understand what you have stated. Hang in there!

    With love,

    Bonnie

    • I hope that you will not get the death penalty, and I am praying to “God” that you seek His forgiveness.
      in reply to Bonnie’s comment, about HLN & Nancy Grace, pls.remember that Tot Mom Casey was
      aquitted….Sorry about the verdict today May 15th…..

  117. It is so nice to finally come across comments from ppl that aren’t bashing Jodi & making Travis sound like he was a saint. Yes, Jodi may have lied, who can honestly say in their life that they have NEVER lied? I’ll bet even the prosecutor has lied in his life. I’ve been in a relationship in the past that was a lot like Jodi & Travis’, it takes a long time to escape the abuse. As for memory, I have an excellent memory as well, but there is a whole 6 yrs of my life that was traumatic & I must have subconsciously blocked out cuz I can’t remember anything from that time. I am pulling for you Jodi, stay strong & don’t let anyone deter you from what’s right & true. Maybe when this is all over we can be friends, there are still a lot of ppl who support you & will be there for you. Pay no attention to the haters, their life is sad enough. You r a beautiful, strong woman even when u don’t believe it yourself, don’t ever doubt that. I hope one day Jodi gets a chance to read these.

    • Also, Heather, consider the great impetus that any trauma victim would have to lie–lying would allow the trauma victim to hide from her own trauma; if you keep in mind that trauma doesn’t occur when the actual traumatic incident happens, but when the traumatic incident is REMEMBERED, you can see how and why Jodi would do anything and everything to keep from remembering what would show her as innocent and set her free–but has to be the most painful and horrible things that she could ever face.

      Anyone would lie to escape the trauma of remembering what really happened–anyone who understands trauma theory would understand why Jodi would lie / tell inconsistent stories; the pain of the remembered trauma must be unbearable for her–it would be unbearable for anyone.

      It’s quite the paradox–if Jodi is willing to go through the horrible pain of remembering everything that Travis did to her, she lives, physically; but the psychological repercussions of remembering such trauma in such a short period of time must be seismic in proportion and may take years of psychotherapy to resolve to even the least degree. I can understand why Jodi would rather tell anything but the truth–sometimes, the truth can hurt enough to kill–not because the truth shows anything at all negative against Jodi herself, but because the truth shows exactly what Jodi suffered; the memory of that much pain, both physical and psychological is too much for many people to tolerate–it would be too much for me to tolerate.

      Why are there not psychologists who understand trauma theory on the stand? Why is Jodi’s defense so apathetic? It seems to me they are horribly apathetic, and that is a travesty of so called justice.

    • Seems we have 2 Heathers here, I knew I was around twice–2 of me? lol I’m sure my children would say one is enough!!!!! 😀

      • Just a suggestion, that also happened to me before I was admin and a good way to deal with it is to change your name to heather1 or another variation. Just a suggestion though 🙂

  118. Dear Jodi

    I’m sorry you are going through such tough times.

    If you were black, the president and his wife would be falling over themselves to profess and proffer your innocence.

    Because your skin is light, CNN, et. al. are brutal with you.

    Best regards
    I hope you are vindicated
    Sonny

    • Sonny–you know, I’m the last person in the world that would normally agree with you but… In this case, I have to agree. The President should pardon this woman if she’s found guilty.

  119. Jodi, I hope you get out of jail, and have your good name restored. I know things did not happen as the prosecutors say. You are doing a good job of defending yourself so far. Keep it up.

  120. Good Morning Jodi
    I think you have a lot of talent as an artist. Just keep on drawing/painting while in jail and after you get out. I do not know what happened on that fateful day, but do know all the truth has not been told, by the prosecution.
    I am ashamed of the media and the way they try to manipulate trials. It is downright disgraceful. JVM, NG, and now even Dr. Drew (who seemed to be unbiased at first) all get to-gether and decide who is the villian in any trial. It is sickening to listen to them, with downright animated faces, as they enjoy every minute of your misery, all with one accord, condemning you. Also, they get idiots on there to say things against you, ie Travis’ friends, and that joke Abe (what a loser). Anyway, take care, keep up your painting, and I hope you are let free to do your own good in the world.

  121. Jodi, there is so much in this case that is not at all clear to me and to many others. You have confessed to killing T, but you only remember holding the gun, and did not realize you shot him. So many things could have happened here, for example, some of T. friends could have been in the house, drugged you both, and placed the gun and knife in your hand, took pictures, and so on. Your memory would be sketchy at best. Also, how could his roomates possibly be in that house for even two days and not notice there was a body dwelling there? I have lots more to say but will keep it short for now.
    Just one more thing. T. was totally disgraceful to baptise you in the first place, let alone turn it into the fiasco he did. Imagine if all the baptist ministers who dunk their parishioners were to have sex with them later? What kind of psychological damage would that do to everyone concerned?
    Proud of you Jodi for handling the prosecution lawyer the way you did.

    • Jodi, I agree with Grace! I have thought the same thing from the beginning. Stay strong and I am praying for you.

    • Grace Varley–Thank you for bringing up that point about Travis’s shameful behavior after his so called baptism. And also, you are so right in regard to all the things that could have happened regarding Jodi’s memory lapse–there are so many people that should be being tried as accessories to murder at the very least, and they’re walking free, with no guilt attached to their names at all. And all these media voices are basically screaming for Jodi’s blood.

      We need more of you to go around, Grace. We need someone with your head on your shoulders on Jodi’s defense team–they’ve done an execrable job and Jodi’s done a brilliant one all by herself; but she shouldn’t have had to have done this all by herself–she deserves the right to a fair trial, and she’s not getting anything like that. Half of what Martinez says should be objected to, but she’s still pressured to answer it, no matter how nonsensical–and then people have the nerve to blame her for laughing at how nonsensical the canard she’s forced to answer is? It’s appalling.

    • jodi…..i am by your side,giving you all my prayers and support…courage…be strong…i talk to many people who support you…this trial is a miscarriage of justice…the media is disgustingly biased….one day at a time….one person at a time….i support you….much love, prayers, and from all of our mouths to Gods ears….you have many on your side and we stand for truth and justice….be strong my one…i am in prayer…i cannot imagine your pains right now but i feel your stregnth and know your light….you are special and the road before you may seem bleak but you are a guiding light…much love….evelyn halper

  122. Is anyone raising money for Jodi’s defense? How about for her needs in jail (placing money on her books)? Please let us know how people can contribute.

    Thanks!

  123. Jodi, amazing you are, everyday I continue to b overwhelmed wanting to help you, your strength inspires me. Your on my mind daily and I know you will come out on top and be proven innocent! Stay strong, dig deep and know that i will continue to send positive energy towards you in
    Hope that you will b set free!!

  124. Good luck Jodi. My heart aches from all that has happened. Not a day goes by that I don’t watch your trial.I wake up and go to bed thinking of you everyday. I pray all this is over soon and you are free. Stay strong and in good health to keep fighting like a pro. Everything will be okay. I hope soon you will get the chance to see all these wonderful post about you and to know how much support and love you got going worldwide for you.

  125. Jodi, until I got here, I din’t know you had any supporters & I’m arguing w/idiots who say all these messages come from the same 2-3 people & then Manson had supporters. Well mine is real. I don’t want you to get the death penalty & hope they let you take back your statement saying you deserve DP if you killed him. Ask your atty to see if you can take that statement back. Hope that helps. –Lisa A.

  126. I hope that Jodi’s defense team reads this…where they are suggesting that writing nothing about the masturbating incident or him breaking her finger in her journal must mean that it never happened, since they have the text messages and emails with him demeaning her and them arguing, are those incidents written about in her journal? If not, then that would be proof that she didn’t write about the negative things in their relationship in her journals. In rebuttal, the defense should show her jouirnal entries for the days that they have documented fights in text messages and emails, and show that she didn’t write about those things in her journal (if she didn’t).

  127. JODI ARIAS is INNOCENT and I think the prosecution. The way he moves around the court room. Keep up the good work JODI. I believe you !!! SET JODI FREE !!

  128. Hey Jodi,
    I don’t know if you read this, but I want you to know that I really support you!!!
    I hope everything is going to work out just fine and I truly believe that!

  129. Jodi,

    Please do not let that prosecutor get you really mad an show aggression that is what
    he is hoping for. I can’t stand this prosecutor. But it is his job to try an bring out traits
    to show the jury.

    I have been through some of you went through with Travis not as bad tho
    but the mental abuse was bad. An I too drove over 1000 miles to be with this man
    also. An it ended up in a epic fail too but I left an it took me YEARS to actually not
    think about him anymore. I still 14 years later think of him an how stupid I was to
    chase his dumb ass an think he was a good person when he was not all his
    promises were always broken for some reason or another.

    Please keep your COOL with this prosecutor today. I know it would be hard I am
    not good at that either but your LIFE depends on it. Just remember he is trying
    to get some kind of reaction out of you to show the jury something.

    Prayers ,Hugs an Love an I am on your side my friend ♥

  130. Jodi – I believe you! I believe that you acted and defended yourself against Travis! Good luck!

  131. All Jodi needs to say is she wasn’ under oath when talking to police or the media & that she is telling truth now as she is under oath. Who has never told a lie? I dated a mormon male for 2+ years. I did many things to make him happy. Mainly sexual things. I am unhappy about doing those things but I did them. I understand how Jodi feels. Prosecutor is a real jerk & the reason why we don’t like being on juries!

  132. Hey Jodi!! Just want to congratulate you on the awesome job you’re doing on the stand!! Martinez thinks he’s soo cool but you’re staying firm and pissing the crap out of him I love it!!! And how you said that you were having trouble communicating with him with and you’re lawyer smirked a little??!!! Totally priceless!!!!! Love you and keep on being strong!!!

  133. Hi Jodi,

    You are doing a wonderful job on the stand and don’t let that bully of a prosecuter get you down. You have tolerated so much from men and a person can take only so much. I believe that you were truly fighting for your life. Stay brave and I will support you always. Best wishes to you and remember you are as lovely on the inside as anyone could possibly be.

  134. I wish the prosecutor would stop calling her out on all her lies. We get it, she’s a liar and killed him. Lets move on. The expert witnesses should explain why. Keep smiling Jodi!

  135. Good Luck Today …..

    Be Strong, always tell the truth to the best of your ability and know that there are so many people sending prayers your way!

  136. Jodi you’re doing a fantastic job, just please be careful–he’s trying to upset you and make you cry so he can confuse you with his barage of questions so that you’ll blurt out something, such as saying yes, when you mean no.. so that he can hammer you.. I know how hard this is for you not to get upset, you’re a beautiful, lovely person, please do watch for that, don’t let him catch you off guard. I care about you so much, we all do, you have loads of us who love you. You’re always in my thoughts and prayers. Please take extra care to not let your emotions take over with your tears. Being a cancerian you will be very emotional. Jodi I am so very proud of you. I would dearly love you one day to come to my home in London, I would take care of you and spoil you and we would have a lot of fun and laughter together.

    So much love and hugs, Me xxxx

  137. as an abuse survivor.. i hear Jodi and can connect (although I did not kill my abuser) – i completely understand the fear and frustration, and panic that comes from each incident that you endured. and hearing the prosecutor ‘attack’ – it feels like Spousal/Partner Abuse is moving back to somewhere in the 1930’s! Stay strong Jodi!

  138. Jodi, I was date raped once and found myself next to this person in bed in the morning–I have no memory of those hours, none. I was in a bar having a drink, went to the ladies and came back and drank it. I remember leaving the bar but I don’t remember anything after that, nothing at all. My point is, that I could not be found guilty any more than you can. This happened to me years ago and I still have no recall of those missing hours.

    I never once doubted you. I don’t know how you are coping with all this, you’re marvellous.

    Stay strong! I want your freedom xxxxx

  139. why don’t you tell them that abuse is a private thing… why don’t you tell them how you loved a man who used and abused you. that it wasn’t only the fear but the anger that day….. the pundits are all against you just like Casey….good luck…. Lexy

  140. Stay strong, stick to the truth and don’t make concessions towards a quick ending. Regardless of your memory issues, don’t let anyone move you from what you believe and know to be truth.

  141. I am personally 100 percent behind you I know all this was in self defense I am sad for you sad for your family I am sad to see that are judicial system is very screwed upit’s sad to say that the person you were with was an animal sadistic animal this is what I call him…I pray for you and hope everything is going to be okay…please stay strong fight back those lawyers…all I can say right now is shame on american justice shame on american justice!!!!

  142. Hang in there Jodi, and keep up the good work on the stand. Don’t let that jerk prosecuter bully you and put words in your mouth. He keeps up and keeps up with his trying to twist and turn your words, but you most always drag him down. He is soooooo typical. Using his slick to twist and form the truth into whaterver it is he would like, for the simple reason as to put a feather in his cap. What a JERK HE IS. Unfortunately, our American Justice system has gotten so out of control that we are left with bums like this and people are always wrongly convicted. Stay strong, I AM ROOTING FOR YOU!!!!!!!! Un

  143. Jodi, God, you know what’s killing me? I’m sitting here listening to this fool on the TV crying and complaining about your testimony and saying you weren’t giving a straight answer. What bullshit. All I’ve heard is you answering to the best of your ability, but NOT letting that little scum bag prosecuter put words in your mouth. You are a tough one and I am proud that you don’t let that little creep mold and form you. It was wonderful to watch him almost fall over himself trying to break you and then HE COULDN’T!!!! Beat that ass down and send him back a LOSER llike he is!! I hope you read all these notes. I only wish one thing………that’s that I was on the jury!!

  144. Jodi
    I believe you. My ex husband did the same
    and I did not have bruises around my neck.
    I did n’t know He was an alcoholic plus he smokes
    marihuana more than one time during the day.
    People don’t have to judge a person by Religion
    or Race.
    God bless you

  147. Jodi,

    I have never given an opinion before on any Internet website, but this time I just found that is the right thing to do.

    Everything that you have been and still going thru is hard, but it has an important lesson and mission at the end for you. I can tell you a lot of things now to support you, but I will just tell what is important for you at this moment.

    WRITE THE DATE AND TIME: Be strong and never loose your faith in God and on your spiritual guidance. YOU WILL BE FOUND NOT GUILTY AND BE FREE SOON.

    I rarely say these things that I can sense, but looking at you on TV the other day, I found it necessary.

    How do I know is not important now. Just hope that I can meet you one day and once this is over.

    See you soon FREE !!!

  148. Jodi, I am watching and praying for you. God can do miracles and just keep up the good work. I believe in you. If you want a prayer partner or pen pal I can do that with you. Just let me know.

  149. Jody leave that poor Prosecuting attorney alone! You are drving him crazy! hahaha
    Anyways I support you all the way! Peace!

  150. Jodi.

    You are doing fine. I hope just one juror see’s what I see an hear. Yes you LIED you told us that it was all BS an you did that because you were ashamed an did not want all this to come out to the PUBLIC. It is like everyone forgot you explained this already.

    We know you are telling the TRUTH now. But the prosecutor is trying to get a BIG REACTION out of you of aggression it seems he is famous for that in other trials.

    Just keep being honest an they have to know you are a STRONGER woman TODAY then you were back in 2008 you have had almost 5 years in Jail to think about it. You are not the same meek woman that let Travis abuse you mentally an physically. Shame on him for being a PIG to women. I could hear it in his voice on that tape an I pray someone else heard what I did. A self absorbed male that thought he was very much in control of you an took your LOVE an used you an did not give back much at all except anger an discontent Even his my space page has some of who he truly was on it.

    I am on your side stay strong an I keep you in prayers daily my friend ♥

  151. What Jodi needs to be saying is that she said and did these sexual things for Travis’ pleasure. That she is a pleaser. Many of us do things to please our partners. I hope she is given the chance to get this message accross.

  152. Hey Jodi,
    your artwork is nice..I feel for you…i really do…i will pray for your soul as well as Travis.you must have really loved him….and i am sure you think back on what could have been…i am so sorry for you…the choices you made…..when all you really wanted was to be married and to be a mom…and to be wanted..i totally understand.

  153. Jodi, remain calm, cool and collected. I see you are smart enough and understand that the burden of proof is on Martinez, so answer slowly, and stay sharp. I know it must be hard to sleep in jail, but get the best sleep possible so your senses don’t get warn down. Have only essential conversation to conserve energy and your peace.

    Keep the faith~

    We’re not all against you out here

  154. Jodi, I can’t believe that they havent fed you lunch all this time…. someones head should roll for that. because you have a constitutional right to be fed. You should still be presumed innocent til you are formally found guilty by a Jury of your peers. So Sorry you went without all this time. Hope from this point on you are fed. No wonder you can’t keep up with Martinez he makes me Dizzy to with his constant questioning of usually the same questions over and over and also not allowing you to answer. We understand that he is making your head spin. plus your not being fed also makes it harder to be able to concentrate. all these weeks no food for lunch is despicable have Nurmi find out legally what he can do about this…. Hugs to you. we are here and praying for you. .

  155. Jodi, I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve been in situations where the facts were spun to pin me of wrongdoing. Just want you to know that, no matter how that prosecutor spins his tale, there are many people out here who can see to the truth, who are capable of judging character, and sorting fact from fantasy. There is a legion of us wishing you the best and standing in support of you and every other woman who is mistreated by these types of men.
    Stay strong and keep up the poise and dignity you’ve maintained thus far. You are doing great, your supporters are proud of you, and we continue to pray for a resolution to your long nightmare.
    and dont let that guy rattle you, you own him in court thus far!

  156. Jodi,
    I know your lawyers have probably told you this a million times, but keep that smirk off your face. You’re doing a good job up there. Juan Martinez is Istarting to look like a petty jerk. I don’t for a minute believe his premeditated “murder road trip” theory – I think it is total bullshit. I’m not sure you’ve made a case for self-defense yet, but if I were on that jury I would not vote for Murder 1.

  157. Jodi. Didn’t always think you were innocent. Not until I saw some things about TA online that didn’t sit well. Went to reddit, and if you know the community over there (prolly don’t), you know that there is no way to lie to those people. Someone will call you on your bullshit.

    However, keep up the good fight. Maybe you’ll be fed tomorrow. I’m just absolutely livid about that. Keep calling JM on his morally ambiguous (When did you stop beating your wife?) questions.

  158. If I were a juror I’d be turned off by Martinez’s line of questioning. He’s rude, interrupts Jodi’s answers, and obviously is trying to twist her words to make things sound the way he wants. I think Jodi is answering exactly the way she should and I hope the jury is paying attention to what she’s saying. Just b/c a person might explain feeling a certain way in one situation doesn’t mean they’ll feel the same in every other similar situation. Martinez has to stop insisting on trying to get her to say that. And when she answered, “I think so.” to one of his questions, Martinez said, “We don’t want you to think.” How stupid of a remark was that for him to say?? I could go on all night about how annoying Martinez is but let’s just hope the jury sees him for what he is….an annoying, hot tempered little lawyer.

  159. I am aware of the many ways ladies stay within relationships even when it is one sided love affair It is not unusual to keep returning for elicit and not normal to some activities. I can surmise your non memory and confused feeling and memories lost. It is also not uncommon to have these consequences. Do your best and find an honest psych. A good one will set you free as you should be from him and set you feelings free
    We as in many are praying for the jury to b e visited by the lord and set you free. may god always be the wind at your back and yes he is a forgiving god LARRY DAVIS.

  160. Dear Jodi,
    I was an abused wife so I know what you went through. I wanted so badly to please and took a lot of stuff that looking back now I regret. It’s so easy as some people like to think to leave someone that you love and have a strong connection to when you keep the good things at the forefront of your mind and try to bury the bad. They say it didn’t happen because you didn’t tell anyone, report it or write it in your journal. I myself would never have told anyone, I actually lied when marks were seen about how I got them, and I would never have been able to write it down because that would have made it all too real. So I get it… I have been watching the trial everyday and I can’t even imagine what you must be going through having to relive the love and the hurt. I also understand and believe that you truly don’t remember half of what happened the say Travis attacked you. I was terribly injured in a car accident when I was younger and although I don’t think I ever lost consciousness, I don’t remember the actual impact and although people say I talked to them etc. I can only vaguely remember bits and pieces of being at a hospital and being moved to another one that was more equipped for my injuries. I believe the mind shuts itself off from things it knows we just can’t handle to remember. And for me I am thankful for that. I pray the jury is really listening and understanding that you really were under his power and couldn’t get away from it. To me it seems he reeled you in and used you more than once and you couldn’t break free from his spell. I have been there and do understand, believe me. May the Lord bless you and help the jury to let you have your life back and to become the prosperous young lady that you can be. Stay strong and keep your chin up. My Prayers for you will continue.

  161. Let me start by saying that whatever caused the confrontation that led to Travis Alexanders
    death.Only you and he will ever know.I feel from the evidence I have seen that he brought about a
    situation that led directly to his death.His actions showed great disrespect to you and women in
    general.As a father and grandfather his references to 12 year old girls did not speak well of him as
    a man.Whatever happend between you and him only the two of you will ever know for sure.But I
    really suspect he was using you without regard to your feelings as a human being.Whatever the
    outcome of your trial maybe I feel this should have never been a death penalty case.Like Jesus
    said those of you without sin cast the first stone.I hope you find peace.
    Good Luck, C.L.Alexander

  162. If you ask me this is the best prosecutor she could have hoped for as he is putting everyones’ nose out of joint and she will get off because he is so obnoxious

  163. Hi Jodi,
    Hope you read this.
    Stay strong and keep your head up.
    Watch out this prosecutor is asking 1 question to answer something else.
    Stay cool and calm.
    Do not fight back that shows agression that’s what they want you to do.
    I know this the system your guilty until proven innocent.
    I am hoping for you.
    Take care,
    Peace
    Mark

  164. Jodi, the more i hear of your testimony the more Travis reminds me of someone I dated for a few years I put up with a lot of his shit because I loved him so I understand how you can put up with so much shit and make excuses for the abuser, You do what they want because you want them to be happy even if that activity goes against everything you believe you still do it. I know that you went along with the program because that is what he liked. Another thing i was talking to my mother about the camera dropping that started it all that day and she told me that she was handing her husband his camera and she dropped it and he got PISSED OFF and started to go crazy so I believe you I know people like that they value their things over people. Martinez have you had enough with the KY questions? its getting tired.

  165. I’ve been watching your trial & having dealt with someone claiming to be a Christian & acting the complete opposite including infidelity I am understanding you situation. I believe in what you are saying so far. If you want to have a pen pal to help through this I’m willing.

    God Bless,

    Mike

  166. Hi Jodi,

    When you are acquitted, are you thinking of going to law school? I love the way you outsmart Martinez and I think you’d make an excellent criminal defense attorney.

    Hang in there,
    R

  167. Jodi what can i say ? i wish u luck and i beleive it was self defense u look like such a sweet person and i do think he manipulated u in many ways u were just in love and did what u thought was right u did what he wanted cuz u wanted him happy oh sweetie be strong ! God knows the true ! yes ppl lie to cover up another lie not alwas lie to cover the true . i was in your place i would of lie 2 at the interview not under oath ! take care Jodi hope your case goes the way its expected:)

  168. Jodi, I know it must be hard to be on the stand but many people are thinking of you who have never met you or never will. I can not begin to understand what you are going through. I can so relate to you, I have been treated poorly by the opposite sex as well. good luck.

  169. Hi Jodi, I feel bad that you were abused or cheated on by Travis, only killers and pedophiles should be on DEATH ROW, not innocent ones like you. You must have been terrified when he attacked you, I know the feeling, i was attacked, abused, used and stalked. May God Be With You.

  170. dont let this fucking prick throw you. stay relaxed and answer every question as if you are sure. if you dont know, say it like you know you dont know. sending you good vibes.
    mike

  171. Hi Jodi, as a woman who has gone through what you’ve been through, I can say you will make it. Do your thing girl. We are queens, We rule our lives, not pigs in suits and briefcases. You have all the weapons you need, NOW FIGHT!

  172. I Have watched your trial live every day since it began.. I watch your trial on Trutv..In Session.. I Was Open Minded from the start.. I am 50 yrs. old, and have two daughters, that are 24 & 22 as we speak.. As the trial is going, and I learned all about the case.. I Really Believe in You..!! You were a normal young woman dating and trying to find a man of your dreams..You were in good character with the few men you were involved with, and had a strong relationship with these men.. This Guy Travis, took your personality of wanting to be loved and giving your love to them.. To Take You To Extremes, of what Real Sex and Love Making to a devils advocate to bring you to the dark world.. I think you were abused in your relationship with this Travis, and you tried to fulfilled his needs to him not wanting you at all.. The Last Straw was the night of the Killing.. He degraded you, and physically abused you, and Tried to Kill You, as so you would not open Pandora’s Box of his deviant life.. I Believe you shot him, to keep him from Killing you.. !! I Then Know, if I would have shot him,, Go Berzerk, of all he put you through, and go beyond killing him.. To keep him, from coming at you, to try to get you in his hands to kill you..Before He Died.. I Vote For You Jodi, and find you guilty of self defense, Manslaughter, Time Served.. Go Home to your Family and wait for a long time before you get involved with a man, other then dating only.. I Love You Jodi, and Great Luck..!!!!

  173. No matter my feelings on guilty or innocence in this case, i applaud you in removing the derogatory comment as to people with mental handicaps in using that word as an insult. I understand that many people do not realize the harm that word does and with the removal of the word from your website, I truly believe that you came to the understanding of it’s harm.

  174. Jodi,

    Tell that friend Bryan Car to cool his jets going on the talking head shows.
    Not sure him relaying information will help you. What if a Juror is not so
    honest an watching these trials or reviews.

    I think you did great today on the stand. The compound trick questions
    I can barely keep up with them I do not know how you can do that an
    with out lunch or supper on some days would be impossible !

    Stay Strong sending you prayers daily ♥

  175. I’m here to show my support. I’ve been paying attention to what’s been going on with the case and I believe she is innocent. Stay strong Jodi.

  176. Jodi,
    At first I didn’t believe you but as the trial goes on I see that you are a strong headed woman and No one should have to go through what you’ve been going through what. I too am a survivor of Domestic Violence and No person deserves to be mentally and physically put through what you’ve been going through what. Stand your ground girl, don’t let Martinez scare you in any way! Stay strong I’ve been watching this trial since day one. Hold your head up high and fight back!

  177. I would love if Jodi could actually read these words, she probably needs all the support she could get. <3 I'm here for u girl as are thousands of other woman who know exactly what it feels like to be victimized by a man. stay strong beautiful.

  178. Jodi,

    I have been following your trial and admire your strength in facing that prosecutor. He is a banty rooster and looks foolish. There are many Mormon men that mess with Mormon girls emotions and marriage desires in a sick way. I can relate to that and it is understandable why you snapped. I hope you get manslaughter.

  179. Dear Jodi

    God will make your wrongs right. He wants to repay you for every unfairness. He is a God of justice. I just saw this message on joel osteen’s page and thought of you. I don’t like how the media talks all these negative horrible things about you instead of being open minded. I’m only watching nancy grace and those shows so i can get to see your trial over here from nyc. I can understand a lot of things you went through how you can still enjoy some part of the sex but at the same time you can hate being seen as a sex object to a man, i agree with alot of things you said. I just wish you had not killed him and somehow moved on with your life you are a beautfiul woman that can find a man that would love and appreciate you. I doubt very much this is death penalty there is no evidence of pre meditated and i think it will go second degree i just have that feeling and this is why the media is talking so much like they did with OJ case and others, if it was really that bad they wouldn’t be trying to trash you. Your smart and beautiful and God is there keep conversing with God he will change things and make justice. He forgives and gives new life.

  180. God be with you Jodi! I know you won’t get the d. penalty, maybe spend some time sorting out things in a hospital of sorts…Be strong….you can make it thru this.
    sending our love and support
    cin&kris

  181. You are such a beautiful person. I believe whatever happened between you and Travis may never be answered. After all, it is truly between you and God. You were used, abused and just wanted to be loved. You wanted to please Travis. Travis had very deep issues too. Keep your head up, be strong, and remember there is perfection in everything in life even if we don’t understand it in the present moment. Keep the faith and take care of yourself and your health. You have a lot of support and do not let Juan Martinez get under your skin. His ultimate goal is for you to explode with rage on the stand. I’m praying for you sweet Jodi.

  182. Hi Jodi – Today was another good day for you in court. Hang in there and stay strong. I wish you the very best. Bruce

  183. If he makes you feel like a prostitute, resentment is eventually going to build up. Dangerous things can happen. Jodi Arias is the perfect testimony for the modern day male, confused and brain washed by his obsession/addiction to pornography based illusion/delusion. Don’t f-ck with the girl who loves your brains out. Or she might love your brains out.

  184. I believe you are innocent because of what I know about the Mormon Church and what it does to its women–and how close it is in ideology to its supposed offshoot, the FLDS. I believe you are innocent because I have read the literature put out by Tapestry Against Polygamy–although you were not a victim of polygamy per se, I believe you were psychologically victimized by the sort of mentality that guides the LDS and FLDS and allows a mentality in which men can brutalize women and believe there’s nothing wrong with what they’ve done to other human beings.

    From everything I’ve read about the facts, I have to believe you are innocent. I wish your lawyers would make Travis’s involvement in the Mormon Church and the dehumanization that it implicitly condones against women more prominent in your defense–I believe that this information would fill many supposed “holes” in the story of what happened to you.

    Please understand that I’m not just some anti-Mormon Mormon-hater; I just happen to be someone who is very well read in what it is considered acceptable for many Mormon men, men who have blended their ideology with the fanatic wing of their Church, to do to women such as yourself. I think that if this information (found in the literature I mention above, from the organization called Tapestry Against Polygamy) were to be brought to the forefront, your accusers would have nowhere to turn for defense of their verbal abuse that you’ve already faced on the stand. The jury needs to know what you’ve suffered, psychologically, at the hands of the LDS Church, and from Travis as a member of it. I think you feel that you’ll have been disloyal to Travis in a way that you feel is taboo if you speak of these things–but speaking the truth about these things could save your life. And your life is a valuable one that deserves to be saved. You deserve your freedom so you can help other victims of abuse, like yourself. Please listen to me, and please feel free to email me if you want. You can be very sure that anything you send me will remain between the two of us.

    Take care and may you be blessed by whatever source of positive energy you feel can bless you.
    Love,
    Anna

  185. Jodi, first and foremost bless you and I hope you’re being treated right while incarcerated. Now on to reason behind show of support. Let me start off by saying you’re a beautiful young lady with amazing talents. Your artwork is beautiful and you have a beautiful singing voice. It struck me today the more I watch this trial is that the prosecution trying to make Travis into a Mormon saint which was obviously far from the truth. I mean come on really an alleged Mormon is not supposed to be telling a girlfriend I want to tie you to a tree,and Fuck your ass. He’s even supposed to be abstaining from sexual encounters yet the Mormon Saint prosecutors are making him out to be couldn’t keep his hands off you. Call it what is 2 young lovers exploring sexual fantasies and having fun. For prosecutor to adamantly insist Travis said he never masturbated before you is a lie 100%!!! Its human nature everyone does. What that was, was a guy just telling his girlfriend something to make her feel hot bout herself. And in your case Jodi its rightfully deserved. I wish they would’ve shown the family of Travis at the time they were playing the audio tapes of him and you being explicit just to see the truth and shock on their faces as to the dark side of Travis. Whatever happened that night happened it is what it is nothing can ever change it. Main thing is to know you have a ton of support love and prayers,on your side!!!

  186. Girl,
    I looked at all the court docs and have been keeping up with this whole trial. At first i really thought you did it Vindictively. After reading everything and forming an opinion of my own i think there is a strong possibility it was self defense. But man you shouldn’t have lied, i get after a situation like that happens and you just freak, but if you hadn’t lied to begin with no one would question everything you say now. Best of luck. I’ll continue to watch. Super shitty they don’t admit the texts and letters he wrote as evidence. You will be in my prayers, “God will opens the doors he wants open, and closes the ones he wants closed”.
    Good Luck.
    Stay Strong.

    • Just wanted to add i went through a legal situation and was falsely accused, no one even cared that i was innocent. Court system just wanted my money and it ended up costly me almost $3k, i’m sure that’s nothing compared to your bill now.

  187. Jodi, this is to wish you the absolute best–that m—–f—– Martinez has got NO imagination when it comes to sex and yesterday he had the balls to take to task people who do. In my opinion , and I am 65 yrs old, there are NO boundaries off limits to two consenting adults when it comes to sex. God made us what we are and expected us to enjoy it; afterall it was not sex that got us into trouble–it was the frigging apples!!! I don’t know that he will, but that SOB deserves to rot in HELL for what he did. I honestly hope that his little pecker rots off during the night sometime just so he can wake up next to it!!! I live in NV, and you can imagine I know plenty of LDS members, for what it may be worth to you, trust me there are none of them worried about what the LORD is going to be thinking of their sex lives. And I absolutely love the way you have frustrated Martinez, that bastard deserves it, and you alone brighten up my day by watching him wanting to pull his hair out. Good luck child, and I wouldn’t worry too much about having hurt my folks with what has been aired–I would have loved to have you for a daughter!! I know life would have been REALLY interesting!! GOD BLESS YOU AND WATCH OVER YOU!!

  188. My husband and I are two entirelly different types of people. I am a 43 year old former accountant, now a stay at home mom to a 10 year old little girl. I am a happy, free spirited type of person. My husband of almost 17 years is highly educated and as conservitive as can be. I guess you can say he is kind of stuffy. We rarely see things in the same light on many topics and issues. That said, we have both been following the trial and we both support Jodi one hundred percent.
    We both feel you are doing wonderful on the stand and personally I don’t know how you are holding back from not laughing at Juan Martinez because he appears to be the one with memory loss and is really coming off as a loose cannon and a very unlikeable person. He’s just all over the place in a frantic, insane type of way. You on the other hand are showing composure and class to such an obvious moron. Mr Martinez appears to be something of a cartoon character. My husband and I often find ourselves rolling our eyes over his tactics and comments.
    On the topic of Travis Alexander – we also both feel he used you and abused you sexually, physically and, no question about it, mentally. The human mind can only take so much mental abuse and more so in young people, especially young women who are consumed with their emotions and feelings of love. No way did you intentially set out to kill him. We truly believe he was abusing you and you defended yourself. Not intentional overkill either – once you are defending yourself you will do anything to make it stop and just keep on doing it to make sure it really is going to stop.
    Two more point I have to make – I think it’s so silly that Juan Martinez is badgering you regarding specific times and dates for the smallest detail. A rational person, hopefully there are a few on the jury, will know who in their right mind can tell someone what time it was on such date that you took a shower or left from one place to another. I’m an intellegent woman and I can’t tell you specific times of what I did yesterday nevermind five years ago.
    The second point is not documenting things in your journals. I know many times that when I kept a journal I didn’t record things that were extremely personal in fear of someone finding it and reading it. There is a difference between recording your innermost thoughts, fears, and experiences than recording your activities for mememories. Who wants to record experiences that disturbed them for memory sake? I sure as heck know I wouldn’t.
    Oh how I wish either my husband or I was on that jury.
    I normally don’t seek out forums to post my opinion on but I just felt like I had to offer our support and also show that two extremely different types of people have the same opinion on this.
    In closing – wishing you all the best and again, you have our support.

  189. Jodi, you are an absolutely beautiful, intelligent, and talented (in many ways) individual! And on top of all this you seem to be completely humble and never fully realized how truly great you are! I know things have to be really rough for you right now (and that breaks my heart) but keep your chin up, beautiful! There are thousands (10’s of thousands) of us out here that realize you too are a victim in this situation. I hope these words reach you and gives you a little bit of hope! You have our support, Jodi and we love you!

    —Bri

  190. I hope your suffering is over soon and you can soon walk free. Stay strong! There are plenty of people who support you no matter what happens.

  191. My name is Todd Anderson; I want you to know that I am with you 110%! I believe you are a sweet intelligent person and I don’t believe for a millisecond that you are dangerous to society. You are strong and talented….remember, that and prayers from you and all of your supporters will get you through this. I friend sent me something that I want you to remember. ENDURE:
    E mbrace each day as a gift.
    N ever surrender except to God.
    D on’t let your situation get the best of you (I know…easier said than done!)
    U nderstand God’s purpose and presence.
    R emain as positive as possible.
    E xcercise your mind, body, and spirit.

  192. Dear Jodi,
    I have been watching the Trial again today On,, In Session,,, and HLN.. I Believe Every word you Testified to today.. I Know It Was Very Difficult to answer Questions from the Spic – Hitler,, Martinez..
    You Have been deceptive in the Past,,, But I Really Believe you Are Very Sorry What Happened, and You WERE trying to save your life that day.. I Really Believe that being a Mormon, which I am Not, I am A Roman Catholic, Brought piece in your life as what you did. This is why you are so Honest in your Testimony, Since the start of your trial, and Are Admitting to what you did, To Save Your Soul.. I Do Not Believe you went to Arizona to kill Travis,, He Brought This situation on his own.. While You Were There That Night.. Now You Are In This Situation.. Stay Strong, and Finish Strong.. I Really Believe That You Will Be Convicted of Manslaughter, By Self Defense, With Time Served,, You Will Home By Spring .. !!!
    Your Friend, and Supporter.. Rick.. Pa. USA….

    • Rick- What lovely words : ) I had to read it twice. Before I found this site I thought I was the one of the few that cried for someone I never even met before. But i belive her I really do. I dont think she went to kill Travis that night at all. Its impossble for everyone to like you such as people claim about Travis, he was one way with family and friends and another way with Jodi. I also think your ruling is correct, manslughter by self defese time served go home…I cant believe how many people support Jodi this is fantastic. If for some reason she does get the death pen I want to go to Pres Obama with her story and see what we can do. I swear if that Martinez calls her Maam one more time…he sounds like a sheep..Maaaam Maaaaaam enough already
      ~Nicole

  193. Again another day of this riveting trial today all be it a sad day watching you struggle as the prosecutor tried to twist your words make you give specific accounts of events which happened 5 years ago. I agree 100% with other people who have posted saying there’s no way in hell to remember specific traumatic details word for word second by second of something so traumatic. A couple things that concern me when it comes to this case has to do with the jury and other point is the television interview which was done when you said ”no jury will convict me”. First point is about that interview and statement. Regardless of when and why you said it, its done and over with. But really how prejudicial is it to be played in front of a jury of your ”peers”. I’m pretty sure it has crept into the mind of some of the jurors that we will show her. Then those are the same idiots who would cash in on a book deal. Second point is what a joke to have what I believe I heard that on the jury sit 7 males. Way to go on jury of your ”peers”. I can only hope and pray that this jury does not in no way shape or form come to a 1st degree murder charge based on it being premeditated in any way shape or form. I do sincerely believe that this was an act of self defense which turned into rage after the fact. You were fighting for your life literally and like the saying goes ”kill or be killed”. Anyone with any sense of a brain should clearly be able to see that. May God continue to bless and how you close in his arms as well as your family . Stay beautiful and positive!!!

  194. jodi i have been pulling for you the entire time…i know why you lied so many times at the beginning…I’ve been in two very abusive relationships… i know i didn’t talk about those things then… people who are abused don’t talk write or do anything… least i didn’t … for so many reason.. im sure u know where im coming from…. i hate all the news media trying to just get out there an run there mouths. the media will have to swollow there pride after this is over with…obviously Nancy grace an the whole time have never been abused….today they are all like she admitted murder….. hello she hasn’t said she didn’t… but she had to defend herself…. omit sorry but when people black out after so much bsquare an arise…..i hope you will be set free…..u have paid for your crime by sitting in prison jail whatever they both suck for five years….i feel your pain its like your being abused over an over again…stay strong….ill keep you in my prayers…. i wish u much happiness…
    .

  195. Hang on girl. You are also the victim of a man you truly loved but used and treated you as an object .

  196. Jodi the absolute Truth is that God, Travis and yourself know the total truth. With that said, God who is Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior has put it upon my mind and heart to write you these words of Truth. I am not a Mormon or a so called believer in a denomination I can only ask that you receive my words not with condemnation that is not the intent of this. I can only tell you this “sin ” in its simplest term is just separation FROM God. I’m sure when you and Travis met this was the furthest thought from your mind of the events that unfolded I am Absolutely sure of this. I can only encourage you to not think you are not worthy of Gods True Love you are. If God ordained me to meet Travis and yourself at an earlier time then maybe this could of been avoided yet it did not, so I write you encouraging you to read about a women named Karla Faye Tucker and how her encounter with the one True God Jesus Christ changed her life while on death row in Texas. I believe it will be a True inspiration to you. I will leave you with this last thought. The apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Roman Church and in chapter 3 verse 23 Paul states to them “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” That includes your defense team, the prosecuting team, Travis’s family, your family I believe you can fill in the rest, yes I am surly included in this without doubt. So who can really judge you fairly? (rhetorical in nature). I pray you find True peace.

  197. I love you, Jodi! You have no idea how precious you are to me and how much I cry for you every day. I hope that you will be at peace every single day you are in this trial because you are such a good person Jodi, and you are very strong, good luck with everything and I hope your bad days are only short days and that you have better days ahead, GOD BLESS YOU!

  198. Hi Jodi,

    Just want to let you know I agree one hundred per cent with Sharon M, Bri, Rick Frey and Chef. Any one with a brain can see this was self-defense and rage after the fact. A person can take just so much. So what you were complicit in the sex. You wanted to please him so he would like you. Doesn’t mean you always enjoyed it. He sounded so disgusting on the recorded calls I wanted to punch him in the face. I feel the only thing you were guilty of was being too nice and too accommodating.

    And again, I will say……a person does not write down things they do not ever want read. I wish you would have just said that to the little napoleon. Also, we always take extra cans of gas when driving through the desert. You never know if you’re going to run out in the middle of nowhere! Or the price will be outrageous. I bet that’s why you had them. Again, wish you would have just told him that.

    It is so frustrating to watch him trying to twist everything around and put words in your mouth. You are probably so very exhausted–mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. I imagine it is even difficult for you to sleep at night. At some point I’m afraid you will be so exhausted you will just acquiese. Please don’t do that unless it’s the truth. He’s trying to get a conviction and will do anything to have that added to his record. Remember, you are just a court case to him, nothing more. So stand true to your values and don’t give in when it’s not right.

    There are millions of us out here that believe you so the sheer numbers say some on the jury also believe you. It only takes one.

    As serious as this whole thing is I don’t know how you can keep a straight face watching and listening to little napoleon. I bet it takes everything in you. But please don’t– whatever it takes. We all want to see you back home–and SOON!

    One last thing–I notice many of the people who are writing you are older, including me. I’m 64 and we’ve had much life experience to know what is what. That is a good thing for you and should help put your mind at ease.

    Good luck on Monday. It is winding down and the hard part is almost over. Stay positive and know whatever happens–you will be OK. Lots of love and empathy.

  199. It is unimaginable to me what you have gone through and continue to. Be strong and I hope that the jury understand that taking ones life to pay for anothers is revenge. Not justice.

  200. I get sick to my stomach when I see the talking heads , nancy grace, dersowitz and others condemning you, which they have no right to do . It is time that all women , abused or not , stand up and say no more . He got what he deserved Jodi, God bless you, hang in there sister

    • nora– It’s time that all women, abused or not, stand up together and demand a better world for themselves and for their children; and if they don’t have children, they should want a better world for all children, everywhere.

      Girls should no longer fear the millions of forms of sexual degradation that they grow accustomed to when they’re growing up. We need to redefine sexual harassment and make the new definition illegal, so that men can’t freely harass their female employees on a psychological level, and threaten them with being fired if they doing play along with what their male and female chauvinist superiors require of them.

      It’s cases like Jodi’s that wake us up the the level of inequity in the world that women face every day–whether or not we’re on trial for self defense, in effect, we still face in some micro level what Jodi has been facing in the court room. In a very Kafkaesque way, we are in The Trial, and it doesn’t matter how gentle our respective “prison wardens” are–we don’t deserve to die a dog’s death or to live a dog’s life. We deserve to live with the respect of human beings–that is why something in each of us on this message board defends Jodi so strongly–she embodies for us the oppression that women face, and our outrage and our powerlessness, so far, to stop it. Let her pain and her meaningless, unfair trial goad us all into action in any sphere we inhabit; let her life and possible death be for something. I’m sure she would agree with me, if she can read this board.

  201. Jodi,

    I acknowledge and admire you taking a great stand for yourself! Hang in there! You could do it. I am on your side.

    HC

  202. Do you have a lawyer? Apparently not as all the news stories seem to concern a battle between you and the prosecuter.

    When he asks you about your confession to killing your friend, why don’t you just say that they just kept telling you that you were guilty that eventually you started believing it yourself. This is a standard way prosecutors get innocent people to admit guilt even when they are innocent.

    The whole thing just does not make sense. The angle of the gunshot does not work AND a 25 cal gunshot would normally just piss someone off. It is a little more powerful than a BB.

    How does a girl kill a 200lb guy with a knife? All he had top do was to fall on her and she would not have a chance.

    The whole thing just is stupid to anyone who thinks about how this could happen, no matter what Arias has been convinced that she did.

    • D–I definitely take your side of the issue. We have a gun that’s barely more than a BB gun, a knife, a 105 pound woman and a 200 pound guy–if this were a fight for profit, everyone’s money would be on the guy to kill the woman. There are missing parts to this story, and it really looks like Jodi was browbeaten into confessing to something she didn’t even do. She may have made some surface cuts at Travis, she may have fired the BB (excuse me, the .25 caliber) gun at him, but it’s dubious if she was even the one that killed him–there’s no way to even confirm that she killed him, except via what she said, and it really does look like she was coerced by our sexist legal system. That’s why there’s holes in her story–her story in the first place, when she said she killed him, was probably the product of coercion on the part of her prosecutors. We’ll never know–and perhaps Jodi will never know; all that we know is that Jodi’s been set up to be crucified by a bunch of Mormons who want to pretend that Travis was some sort of saint and have a definite reason to want to see Jodi dead (so she can’t tell the truth about what and who he really was).

      • What is horribly ironic is that nearly everyone in the media is accusing Jodi of being a liar–whereas her most pertinent lies were most likely forced out of her by the prosecuting attorneys, from which she seems to have had absolutely no shielding from her defense team. What are her defense lawyers doing for her??

        • I don`t like when the Prosecution ask her to speculate on if this or that would have happen. The jury may forget it is just speculation and may not be what really happen. Everytime the Defense objects the judge just overrules anyway. IT`S NOT RIGHT.

  203. Watching your case streamed live all the way from the Netherlands. I really hope you will get off easy with a light punishment. You are in our thoughts, god bless you

  204. Just hoping and praying that the little man/prosecuter continues to lose it in the court room. He is so pathetic always resorting back to your sex life. Who in this world doesn’t like sex and fooling around? God knows what we would find if we were on equal footing and saw what that little freak was into. Probably fantisizes on man on man sex. Little freak. Regardless, stick by your guns jodi. You could never know how I hope you are found not guilty!!!! So sick of the good ol’ US of A’s justice system. It is so corrupt, and a lot of us are tired of it. Believe that. Hang in there.

  205. Watching everything unfold from Louisiana. I dont know you but i really hope everything works out for the best! But even if you are found guilty, i pray to God that you dont be put to death! Be strong! What doesnt kill your faith, makes it stronger. God bless you Jodi !!!

  206. Wow jodi you are so awesome, it made my heart ache to see you crying on stand, your fans understood your tears , but the short man was delighted, its ok though, what goes around comes around, please stay strong and smirk at the short man , it drives the host of HLN/TRUE TV crazy, i see alot of strength in you, you should be a Texan , we would welcome you here in Texas, i pray for your freedom and verdict to be time served, the short man is heartless, it baffles me why your defense team lets him ask you the same thing over and over, the shorrt man is trying to trip you up, you know i was always a fan of Nancy Grace but i have been shown she has tunnel vision as much as vinnie and co hosts. Please hold your head high, you,ve are baring the guilt and your remorse on stand speaks for its self. I pity where you live these days but use your brillant mind to wonder away from it, i feel i’m ranting so i’ll close, come to Texas ok?

  207. i really wish u could say everything that was going threw your mind the time u got there an the time u left, what really happen, im torn because you an travis were very intelligent people! i really just want to see the truth! you do need help but not death pentaly.. i believe when you are free you will let the truth be known!!! i hopeeee cc

  208. Jodi, i watched yesterday and my heart broke watching this man break you like that I know what you did was something you were forced to do I do not see premeditation. I see a woman who was in love with a person who abused her for his own needs and pushed that woman too far with his abuse and she had to protect herself. The abuse of woman has been going on for years I remember when the police would come to our house after my father beat my mother the police would come and tell my father to “walk it off” that would piss him off more. Its a shame that woman critique you the most I cannot understand that we need to stick together I get it that is why I stand with you. Only you know what happened on that day it makes me angry that everyone is Sigmund Freud all of a sudden with out knowing you I know this was something you were forced to do there is no history of violence on your part. I hope you stay strong and no matter how this turns out you always have a friend in NEW YORK. Please do not trust that man who visits you I saw him on Nancy Grace flapping his lips about things that should be confidential.

  209. Jodi, remember the old German proverb. “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger”.

  210. Its so sad that a young woman with so much of life ahead to enjoy put herself in this position. Why? What really was so horrific that pushed you over the edge? I’m a employed in the legal profession. Just a little observation…you really shouldn’t disrespect the court with bickering and arrogant answers…it reflects poorly on you especially if you want the court to find in your favor. I cannot believe Mr. Nurmi hasn’t insisted on that but he is not a seasoned criminal lawyer obviously Jodi. I’m very sad for you and your life.

  211. I am sending positive thoughts and prayers to you Jodi. Remember, Travis was not ever a Stand-Up-Guy. I knew many men that I have wished very bad things on. Knew one Mormon guy that ran in our crowd, but still was seeking Mormon companionship with a girl from my dorm. Thank God I never slept with him. I think he would have been just like Travis. So became my long aggravation with the Mormons. I know you have lots of faith and I will add mine in with yours. I think Martinez was bullied as a kid and is showing all the hate that comes with bullying. You are bigger and a shining star compared to that puke. God Speed~~

  212. Jodi we all know you are innoecnt and did it in self defnse. you feard for your life. lets hope the jury knows this and claims you innocent

  213. Jodi u may not know me but I believe u and I think that u had no choice just all that abouse u could not take it no more that final threat he mad do u that he would kill u just mad u snap u could not let the abouse go any further u will win and I would like to be Ur pin pal and Wright to u if I could Get an address that be great hang in thire and get back to me with answer my email is demetriovaldez88@gmail.com have Ur lower give me the address please IM for u and think Ur beautiful and don’t need to be were u at if u could call my number is 7603042913 call me it cell but use Ur phone time it’s not going to be waist hope hear from u I would send u some money if u need it or visit u I just need address

  214. Jodi,
    I feel so very distraught for you. I understand what being in an abusive relationship is like. I have been with an abusive man for 12 years (I have 3 sons with him) and a daughter from a previous relationship, but I finally have the courage to divorce him. I wish very much that I could write o you. Over the last week I have felt very compelled to do so. I have been following your trial, daily. I have seen your drawings and they are lovely, you have a great talent. You should channel you energy into your art. If there is an address where I can write to you it would be lovely to have it and I would write. Hang in there and be strong. God is with you and you know that, I am sure. God Bless and keep your head up. with love and prayers, Davisa

  215. Dear Jodi,

    As soon as I heard your story, your account- I was astonished. I understand that abusive relationships are just unfair and terrible and just hang on to you through every waking moment. Sometimes, these so called ‘relationships’ just become way too much to handle, and apparently Travis was not the guy for you. I don’t know for sure, but what you have done points to the fact that Travis may not have been such a good guy as everyone had saw him. You are NOT insane, you are AMAZING and talented in so many different ways. However, the one flaw was the murder, whether it was men braking into the home or you killing him in self defense, it was just not the right path to go. You don’t deserve this! You’re an amazing singer, and now it seems such beauty and talent has been washed away. And, I have such hatred for the man interviewing you, always looping back to one insufficient piece or two of evidence that so calls ‘proves your guilt’. When I look at you, I see a beautiful woman who is stuck in the wrong position. And, I also see a woman who loved a man so deeply even though he had abused her. Jodi, there is always bad choices made in life and sometimes you will just have to live with them. Best of luck to you in your continuing trial, and for all the days to come, nor good nor bad. You must stay strong and show the world the Jodi Arias, the beautiful, talented one I can see.

    They just can’t yet.

    Regards,
    Izzi

  216. Jodi you are doing great on the stand keep it up. You have many supporters out here. You have incredible strength and it shows when you speak. Im watching you all the way from Florida everyday. Much love….

  217. Jodi,
    Prayers for you. The jury needs to know that we can only be what we have known, and we look for love
    and sometimes don’t know how to look for a kind, considerate, good soul. All of us here are sending our love and support for you.

  218. Dear Jodi, You have withstood a blistering and rude interrogation and conducted yourself with dignity and poise. I’m sure the jury will take this into consideration and render a verdict that will please you and your many supporters. My prayers are with you, Jodi.

  219. Dear Jodi,

    I hope this message gets to you. I haven’t been following the case too much but I saw something on TV about it today and felt compelled to write to you. I just want to say that I kind of can relate to you. I have been in your shoes. One time an ex put me in the hospital and really until someone is abused, they don’t think they’re capable of killing someone in self defense. I also had an ex who was emotionally and verbally abusive. It really wears on you. People can only take so much abuse from the people they love. Some times you just snap, and I don’t know what happened that day but I just have a feeling that you were pushed to the edge and just had enough. I really hate how people assume someone is guilty and they don’t even try to look into the case. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Well at least some of us women know what it’s like to be in your situation. I really hope foe the best for you. Much love sent your way. Oh and it’s kind of ridiculous that you have been in jail since ’08. What ever happened to the right to a timely trial??? Good luck.

    • Oh and another thing to add to my comment above. Travis was just suspicious and the fact that he was basically using you for sex shows his true colors and what a douche he was. It’s always the “perfect” ultra-religious ones who are hipocrites and hide their true personalities.

      • Exactly, Travis was such a faker, acting all good and stuff. It IS always those so called “perfect” religious ones that hide their true personality.

  220. Even after watching this every day I had many problems with this trial. First off let us think about what we know is true Travis Alexander was brutally killed by Jodi Arais. Shot by a .22 caliber, stabbed 27 times and had his throat cut ear to ear. Another fact in this case is that Jodi did indeed love Travis. If you don`t agree with this you have not been watching the trial or you don`t know anything. We all know she claims physical abuse. We know she wrote nothing down in her journal about physical abuse, saw any doctor and told or shown any friends. She lied twice about the murder but finally admitted to doing it but cannot remember the stabbing or cutting his throat. That is what I know for sure

    My first thought was she is guilty. After all, everybody was saying that. Dr. Drew, Nancy Grace, my friends, clients and co-workers, mostly everybody thought guilty. I believed it until something strange happen. I watch the
    Prosecutions submit his case. I watch the Defense call Jodi so she could tell her side. Next the big moment, the prosecutor, the ‘pit-bull”, the man who is going to save the world from Jodi Arias { Nancy Grace} Juan “pit-bull” Martinez starts his cross examination. So what is the first thing he says? He calls Jodi Arias sister dumb because Jodi called her dumb on a phone call to Travis in 2007. Not what I was expecting from a pit-bull. His line of questioning seems ridiculous. Arguing with her for twenty minutes about the exacted time she put her luggage in the car for a trip she was taking. Or arguing if Jodi was a lawyer because Jodi said it wasn`t a crime that Travis read her journal. He was making himself look a fool all for the sake of arguing with her. I didn`t know why.
    Another problem was Jodi. You could tell she was in love with Travis. How could she kill him in that manner? How could a 105 lbs. girl drag 220lbs. of dead weight {sorry} across the room?
    Today I got my answers. A former police officer who studied human behavior, and battered women told me it is extremely common for women who is physically abused by someone she loves to keep it to herself. Because she loves the person so much she believes this abuse will not happen again and she will protect the loved one who abused her by not seeing a doctor, telling friend or writing in her journal. She wants no questions about this. However, if the abuse continues it may cause the women, who has been holding her rage in for months or sometimes years, to explode into a rage of her own. In many cases the abused women will block out or not remember what happen in her time or rage and/or revenge. I believe this is what happen in Jodi Arias case.
    This would also explain the very strange way the Prosecution is trying this case. He is trying to bring out that rage once more only this time in front of a jury. He keeps trying to wear her down. The judge seems to be in on this too. The Prosecution will ask the same question over and over, the defense will object, the judge will overrule. The Prosecution will ask Jodi to speculate, the defense will object speculation, the judge will overrule. This goes on all day. Even the prison forgets to feed the girl in hope it will help wear her down. The media is the same way. Dr. Drew had the nerve to put on the air a babysitter from when Jodi was five years old. The babysitter, who was well coached, said one day while she was babysitting five year old Jodi and little brother, she heard a “bloodcurdling scream” and ran into the room to find five year old Jodi and her brother. Jodi told the babysitter she didn`t know what happen and the brother said she hit me with a baseball bat. After the baby sitter told her “bloodcurdling scream” story, Dr. Drew had on a physiatrist, the physiatrist told the audience that how five year old behaves has nothing to do with how someone behaves as an adult. Bet that physiatrist has seen her last day on “The Dr. Drew Show”.
    The two made up stories Jodi told to the police were out of fear. She did end up telling the truth unlike the Florida girl, Casey Anthony, that the media is constantly comparing the two cases. The media should stop do this. Mr.Martinez is always telling Jodi to answer yes or no. That is how he wants the jury to see this case yes or no, black and white. The truth is there are always reasons why people act the way they do. Jodi blew up because of years of abuse .There was no premeditation. She made love to him how many times before the killing? He tried to hurt her if not kill her. It had happen before and the Defense needs to make sure the jury knows this.

    • What you talking about is called the “Battered Women Syndrome”. It could be a very effective strategy for the case.

  221. Dearest Jodi,
    I am praying for you everyday. Juan Martinez should not be allowed to assasinate your character, and drag you through the mud. I makes me so angry at him because he is pulling no stops in trying to get the death penalty for you. I know that you just snapped. I can tell that you really love Travis, and he was using you, but all you could see was the little crumbs of love that he tossed you. He should have treated you with dignity and respect. I feel that it was self defense, and your fear of his anger caused you kept stabbing him to make sure he was dead. It just breaks my heart in two because I know you just wanted him to love you back, and he knew he was taking advantage of your emotions. I am so glad this site is here because I have kept this in during the whole trial. I think the news media people are a bunch of vultures. Stay Strong. God Loves You & I do also. Blessings. CBH

  222. Martinez kept badgering Jodi as to why she didn’t mention the physical abuse in her journal. Jodi loved Travis and wouldn’t want to say anything that serious on paper. It’s common sense!

  223. It appears to me that her heart and soul was trampled on pretty darn bad by her now dead abusive boyfriend and it’s in my opinion that this guy had her thinking earlry in the relationship he was going to take care of her…..marry her…. ect…. but then after a few months HIS friends started getting jealous of all the attention she received by “Mr. Wonderful”.. LOL…these friends had been put on the back burner so to speak in his life and they didn’t like it. So this is when his “so called” wonderful friends started trash talking a cool chick. He was so spinless and didn’t want to distance himself from his loser friends that he agreed with the bashing of her. Oh but he really did like/love her and was such a shitty person he didn’t stand up for her and then tell them all where to go if you know what I mean. I could go on and on………..

    Bottom line is that what happened that day is not all her fault, she has admitted to everyone in the world that she had to fight for her life and killed him. That really takes a lot of guts for a human being to do. I did lean towards guilty at first, but by the time the cross examination of Jodi was over Thursday I felt differently. She is a pretty girl who has been dealt a shitty hand in life, but if she is found not guilty in the first degree then Jodi has then turned a 7 2 into ACES. I will not be like the bad boyfriend she once had, but instead stick up for her. I too was deceived and abused by a former husband and know that love makes a girl do some crazy things, like not telling anyone about being physically and mentally abused by the man I loved. Thats why it’s called love. Finially I wanted to say that the licence plate could have been placed upside down by the rental car company, my brother works for a major Airport rental car Co. and he told me that he has accidentally placed the license plates on cars upside down over the years, new cars don’t just show up to rental car lots with licence plates already on them. He also thinks your not guilty of first degree murder. Good Luck Jodi and just keep doing what you are doing in regards to the trial.

  224. Dear Jodi,

    You are a beautiful articulate intelligent composed graceful young woman. My heart breaks for you and the situation you are now in! When we love and are in the cycle of domestic abuse whether it is sexual, physical, emotional, mental or all the above…we do not report, we protect image of the one we love!!!! Protect our families, relationships, children, whatever…we hope that it will stop, he will love us, its a vicious cycle as a woman is torn down each day, each month, each day, degraded, and then desperate for the love to come back. Women are shamed……Women in these relationships are a mouse on a wheel….MANY DO NOT REPORT or HAVE THE COURAGE TO GET OUT B/C YOUR SELF ESTEEM HAS BEEN DESTROYED/CONTROLLED.

    I watch your trial when I can each day. As I watch your trial, I’m desperately saddened of what you have been put through and had to endure. Crime of Passion also comes to mind for me to help your case as well as the abuse you suffered at the hands of this hyprocrite that played a very serious mind game with you for years. I am not sure why your legal team does not also focus and hone in on the extreme emotional and mental abuse you have suffered through many years…then at the hands of Travis. Women snap when abused and used after many years…….without help! You were “good enough” for him to have sex with you, but you are not “good enough” to be loved, respected, or married….its a VERY serious problem in our country as women’s self esteem is destroyed and especially with your past history of not having the love and support from your family.

    He violated, manipulated, pushed you, lied, used you, hurt you and deeply played your loving feelings you had for him for his own pleasure/sex toy as well as his control issues. Damaging you further with each phone sex call, you having to walk on eggshells, having sex with you, but going to Cancun with someone else in a few days, etc. With no intent of ever providing you the dignity and respect you deserved. As well as a fake to all including his church, family, and friends.

    Praying for your young life….God Be With You!

  225. It baffles me how crowd mentality works. Everyone is forgetting or ignoring Travis’ conduct. Where is the outrage about how Travis used and tossed away Jodi like, “garbage” or “a prostitute”. Jodi don’t be afraid to tell the truth. Travis used you for sex, and then when he wanted to find a wife, he tossed you aside. I don’t believe your actions are innocent or that Travis physically harmed you or little boys. Travis is guilty of being a dishonorable, disrespectful hypocrite. He knew better because of his upbringing in the Mormon church yet he used a fragile, vulunerable Jodi. Jodi, it’s obvious you were in love and thought that by becoming Mormon Travis would marry you. Instead he used you for sex. A real man of God would have honored you and respected you. Society is at fault for not teaching boys and men that women are delicate flowers that need to be protected by the male population. It doesn’t matter if the women are the sexual seducers. They do that because society has said that’s what men want. Women go out of their way to be what they think men want them to be so as to acquire love. Men need to step up and be honorable and respect the precious gift that women are and stop using them for sex. There is no such thing as a prostitute without dishonorable men.

  226. Jodi,

    There are still some mysteries I don’t understand involving the case even rewatching all of your trials. Something inside you tells me that you are telling the truth. From looking at the pictures I do believe that the camera was dropped. Afterwards who moved the camera was a mystery to me. The jail do think you should be free that is an indication that you are not a bad person. I really do believe in you! I really do hope that you don’t get the death penalty. Hope you the very best !

    HC

  227. Jodi,
    Sending Best of Luck to you through everything….To me, I can completely relate to you….You remind me of myself….So many bad situations that I put myself in, Given my whole heart to and taken for granted, abused physically and mentally. Keep your head up high!…..I am sure that having to keep reliving the worst day of your life, is excruciating pain….Trust me I know, how easily, something so small, can be easily escalated. And yes people, some battered women don’t let other know their business, they choose to keep it to themselves!!!..

  228. Ya know, I’ve watched this CNN program about 4 or 5 times now. Do you think you might have MPD/DID or PTSD? I lived with a woman like that for 2 1/2 years, and went through a lot. Much of what you say, and much of what they say, rings true. I watch it in complete awe. How can they not see what is happening? It seems so obvious to me. My gut tells me you are the real victim.

  229. Jodi,
    keep your head up and keep speaking the truth hopefully the jury sees past all the lies the prosecuters are trying to get passed them. I find it amazing how the media takes bits and pieces of things and put it together to make you look bad when they are leaving out the truth and what was really said and that is how some people are fooled to think that you are guilty when in fact you were fighting for your life and put in a horrible situation and did something that you really did not want to do if he would have stopped instead of kept coming at you he would be ok and hopefully you would be in a beautiful relationship with another man who treats you like a queen. i have been watching this whole thing and most people who think you are guilty do not know the truth because the media keeps out the parts that you are trying to tell them which is the truth, and they only piece together things to make it look like you have said or done something completly different. Remember there is a reason for things and god has a plan and hopefully with all this bad there is something good that will come of it maybe more awareness on domestic abuse and why you had to protect yourself. Good luck and we will all be praying for you. Lots of hugs

  230. Good Luck Jodi,

    I’ve been following the case and I can’t believe the way that the prosecution has handled this case. I really want to support you and hope that you get acquitted. Please stay strong Jodi. I’ll keep watching the case to see your freedom. I Love You Jodi.

    Much Love From NY

  231. If you were a 5’3″, 105 lb woman and had a crazed 200 lb man trying to kill you, what would you do?

  232. Hope things turn out for you,Jodie..try and eat something you look so thin and good luck for Monday..stay strong !. That Travis was a jerk, he used and abused you but now he’s not around to use and abuse anybody else the creep.

  233. Jodie, I wish I could step through the computer screen and give you a big hug and tell you you are a precious human being…I feel so sad when you cry on the stand..I am so sad over the way Travis treated you, abused you and pushed you..I believe you when you say he attacked you that afternoon and you defended yourself..I pray for you and hope things turn out OK for you..Travis caused the righteous rage that welled up within you that day..he treated you like a dog, worse than a dog..got you to join his religion which you did to please him then dumped you then used you all over again that afternoon..he deserved every thing that happened to him..God bless you, Jodie..I’m praying for you and sending out loving thoughts to you always.

  234. I did not know about this trial until this past week. I am so sorry to see how the things you say are twisted. For what it’s worth, I used to live in Pasadena. Whenever I drove to Vegas or to see my brother in AZ I always rented a car, because I got better mileage and more importantly, I felt I could rely better on a rental than my own car. Once you get past Barstow it is a long stretch of desert, and I always carried a couple of those red gas tanks because I was always terrified of getting stuck along the way. A single female out of gas on that desolate stretch of road is not a good thing to be….And as for the double gas purchases, I have actually done the same thing. Especially at Arco, since a debit card charges for the transaction. Even now, when I go to fill up a gas can I almost always forget until I get back in the car after filling the vehicle’s tank. I see the can and think, darn! And invariably–especially at Arco (AM PM)–I just dig cash out of my purse for the second purchase.

    I once was the victim of narcissistic abuse. The worst part is feeling like everything you say is somehow twisted and convoluted so that you somehow are always to blame. I hope that by sharing this with you it gives you some strength and helps you remember to hold on, and that you are not crazy. As victims of emotional abuse we sometimes get to a point where we don’t even know ourselves or what we might do. The anger and rage and frustration that kind of abuse creates within the victim is something nobody can understand unless they’ve been in the victim’s shoes.

    I am sorry for you. I am sorry for Travis. I hope that you are given a chance to recover. It is possible.

  235. Jodi –
    I have been so impressed by the strength you have shown during this trial. I hope that you know that you have so many supporters here counting down the days to your release. When you are able to move forward, freely – please remember, you are not alone. In moving forward, there will be many difficulties – as this will(has) forever change(d) you. Keep being creative and keep smiling. You’re such an intelligent woman, the world needs women like you Jodi.

    Stay strong, focused, and healthy.
    We will be here cheering for you – each and everyday.

    – Team Jodi, M.

  236. I hope the women jurors despise that prosecuter as much as I do. He is doing more harm to his case by being such a bully towards Jodi. His horrible demeaner makes me root for Jodi even more!

    • Oh, I so agree with you. In the beginning I just wanted her not to get the death penalty now I want her to walk. He does come off as a bully and I am concerned for Phoenix if he is their best prosecutor. their is no reason for him to be so rude and condescending. the defense team is great, they manage to treat the witnesses with respect.

  237. Jodi, you are a victim of TA. You loved him, and converted to his religion to get closer to him, and all this did was to use you, and denied and badmouth you with his friends. You are a victim of the prosecutor, JM, who shamelessly displayed to the world your most intimate moments, and who cannot see through his hardened heart that you are a victim too. You snapped after being used by that hypocrite of TA. Wish you the best, and a fair trial.

  238. Dearest Jodi:
    You are on my mind as I get ready for work this morning. Keep your chin up, and know that we are praying diligently for your life. Jesus loves you, and so do we. CBH

  239. Dear Jodi,
    I have had a boyfriend who was good at fooling people into thinking he was so wonderful, but I knew he was a monster while he used mind games to make me believe that i was not worth a thing. I have also been hurt by how judgemental supposed Christians can be, but I know that is not who the true God is, who saved my life. when I have watched the tv coverage of your story, my heart breaks! I want you to remember that in the Bible, the religious leaders came and threw a woman caught in adultery at Jesus. They wanted to stone her to death! (i think this is the same attitude from the news people) but Jesus said to them, if any of you is without sin, let him throw the first stone. I also, pray for your miracle and think about Paul and Silas in the prison and when they began to praise God the walls of the prison broke and they were freed. If God set them free, he will do it for you, ANYTHING is possible with God!
    With love and support

  240. I love Jodi Arias. She has altered my days lol. i love watching her on t.v.

  241. I just do not feel that there is any logical reasoning for premediation in this case. Wouldn’t a person who was planning to kill their partner do so in a clinical fashion the way we have seen in other premeditated cases? I just cannot connect the stolen gun from the Grandparent’s house to a crime scene which is indicative of sloppiness by a person who is not thinking straight? There are just too many missing pieces of logical information that lead me to believe that Jodi did this for any other reason than defending her safety. If the gun went off and he was wounded to his face, wouldn’t she have maybe slit his throat to end the pain? I have dug around a little and read both Jodi’s profile and Travis’ myspace profiles..This man fits all the characteristics of an abusive and manipulative person. Also, I’ve heard people rant on and on about the lurid sex testimony…C’mon people, it’s 2012 I have definitely heard worse. I’m a pretty intuitive person so I really pray that justice will be done and Jodi is victorious. Very disgusted at some people’s responses to this…This woman is fighting for her LIFE! give her a break!!
    ‘The lord is my light and salvation, whom shall I fear’ Psalm 27.1

  242. for lack of better words, JODI WAS MIND SCREWED BY TRAVIS, and this kind of rape is worse than physical abuse, i have been there and served my time in a hospital, strapped down in a closed unit with amnesia, team of five doctore fighting to pull me back to reality, at that point i did not even know who i was and was no longer responsible for my actions and words, had i not mentallylost my way i may have killed him!!!! love and prayers with you jodiand i am praying to hear NOT GUILTY.

  243. Yes, we would like to take the time to give our support for Jodi. We undertstand we do not always make the best decisions, and, that sometimes we face challenges that have us respond in unexpected ways. But, regardless of our actions, ….we are all beautiful… Jodi, deserves the love and support of us, and not criticizm and hatred. Regardless of her actions, as we have not walked in her shoes, we only wish to give our support. Your Friends, Jodi, Tim and Lesly Ceballos

  244. Jodi there are hearts all over the world for you and if our wishes could undo all of the things you are going true or the things that got you to this point we would gladly do so.This is one moment we wish that there was that one moment in time.May God continue to keep you strong,remember he said i will be with you always. you are the only one who know how you are feeling and i know your heart is sad.God love you unconditionally and will never for sake you.Stay strong.God was with Daniel when he was tossed in the lions den and i promise you he is with you and God is love.Love and Blessing

  245. Hi Jody, Accidental death caused from extreme momentary terror……Religious cult crap mostly at fault….Now as you read the Bible, you will be able to see the sexual and monetary greediness of Joseph Smith…….When I was 23,I met the Lord reading the Bible in my pajamas….Now I’m 66….Look how God can use you now in a way He never could have before….Satan will do anything he can to stop you….We are living in a very adventurist time, I think in the last minutes..before the coming of the Lord…..I saw true Spiritual hunger in you…. I saw a pretty little girl who really loved this guy, and lied when in fear….Honey, I don’t lie, but that is when I would have become a quick expert! To become a Christian we all need to repent and accept Jesus as the Lord of our life……The Bible says ‘What satan has meant for our harm, God will turn to our good.” Run from sexual sin so that God has a chance to bring good from this…God bless you and please pray for me………Rita

  246. hey jodi i have to admit in the begining i thought u were guilty but after watching the trial i have to say i feel your not guilty. and besidesthere is so much i can say but the bottom line isthere was nobody else there but u two so nooneknows what really happened. so how can they convict. after all it is beyond a reasonable doubt.Good luck.

  247. keep your head up jodi i am sure that you have gone through enough to see a victory behind this trial .keep strong and keep the faith . you got this !!!! # team jodi

  248. My answer to you is the answer I hear from God while in Prayer.. Ishmael
    Look it up in Hebrew for the literal translation.

  249. Jodi, If you ever see this I think your a beautiful. smart, and brave woman
    Only you know the reason why things happend the way they did but everyone has a limit and snapping
    point i don’t think anyone deserves what happend to you or Travis but sometimes love can be just like a drug an drive people to do crazy things, i know it did to me too but you have to have known your an incredible person that millions of other guys would have wanted you found you amazing and would have treated you better and not used you and loved you the way you deserve, it’s sad to know you are where you are and might not ever get out or lose your life too which i pray to god you don’t and your freed and can one day start over anew with a fresh start an new life that you deserve !
    people shouldn’t judge anyone unless they were there an walked in your shoes to think a beautiful normal woman who’s got photography , family, and friends a whole life ahead of them would just become a coldblooded killer like your whole life meant nothing before it’s unfair how at the drop of a hat the whole world can turn thier backs on you, well me and the others on this site and plenty more around the world still care and think about you and were all on your side an pushing for you.
    keep that contagious smile ,Tommy

  250. Jodi,
    I know how it is. You’re in a relationship with a controlling guy. Nothing is about you. Everything is about him. The day is going fine. Then you say the littlest thing that no one would ever take offense to, but he does. And suddenly, he goes into RageMode. No one can help you. No one really cares. It’s in your best interest to de-escalate the situation, but if you do, once again you are not heard and you have to deal with his ongoing character defects because now it’s all about de-escalation and not about how ridiculous and crazy he is. If you don’t give in and concede and actually stand up for yourself and your needs, then there is even more hell to pay and that’s when stuff really goes flying. Lose lose. It sucks. I’m sorry you’re in this situation,
    Jodi

  251. Jodie, Sometimes we dont make the right decision. Stay strong, you are a good girl. I would be proud if you were my daughter. We love you.

  252. Hey Jodi,
    I must admit…at first I immediately cast judgement. The media has a way of twisting & turning a story in so many ways that you can’t help but assume the worst in someone. I feel bad for you…Not just because of this horrible tragedy, but because you have endured pain for so long. Listen; only you know what you went through. It’s sad, but even in the pictures…he never looked like happy guy. You on the other had had a spark in your eye that was torn from your core. I was in a verbally abusive relationship, that at times became physical…I also remember not telling too many people about it, because I didn’t want others casting judgement on him, or ME for staying with him. I hope that you will be spared, and that time will help you heal. You need real friends. Real family. I hope you can find peace. Stay strong & stay as positive as possible. I wish you luck with the outcome of this trial, and mostly with your life.

  253. Jodi.
    I really did not like the prosecutor at all. I am sure some Jurors felt the same way. We all have made mistakes in our lives. Some more, some less. A church friend of mine says, sin is sin, for all of us whether we are religious or not. So don’t feel like the accusers are perfect people. They too need forgiveness. – I was abused and bullied as a kid. That made me confused, depressed, unfocussed and certainly angry at times. I did not like people getting in my face or yelling at me or verbally abusing me. We all have an animal reaction to that. I choose the gym and other things to relax. I choose to give those nasty people no meaning, which sometimes takes time. – A few relationships really hurt. For years. I became whole and healed after that. It took time and effort. You are in the here and now. We cannot change the past. Travis made mistakes too. That came out in the trial. You are no premeditated killer. It is hard to move on when people get over us or replace us so easily. But you will move on. Act, like you want to be. You’ll be ok. So many of us are with you. We’ve failed at times as well. Be strong. Accept the simplicty of God’s Grace one day and moment at a time. Don’t worry. We are praying for you and thinking of you. – Chris

  254. Walking through the legal forest is never fun, especially when there are so many trees in the way. Every direction seems blocked… every branch, twig, and thorn seems to turn against you… doing everything to leave cuts and bruises as you pass.
    The only way to get through, unfortunatly, is to keep pushing ahead… the edge is there… with those open fields and gentle sunshine… and those that love and support you waiting to provide shelter and time to heal.
    Keep that in mind, keep hope, and keep faith that the truth will win in the end.

  255. Never give up,the truth will be evident and you will be victorious in your battle,I cant really know what you are going through,but my son was once in a situation where the police pressured and tried to charge him with a crime that he didnt deserve,a lot of faith and ground work by his legal council kept the hounds at bay,he now enjoys a productive life,Hang in there Jodi,the truth will prevail

  256. I can’t imagine what you are going through Jodi but I hope you don’t lose faith in God as he will comfort you no matter what the verdict may be. I wasn’t sure what to think of the situation when I started following the trial but the more I follow and see the trial play out, the more sympathetic I am.
    My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

  257. Dear Jodi:

    As I have watched the trial and read everything about this case I want you to know that my heart goes out to you. I know exactly how you felt about him. I have been there.
    You were so far above him in every way. You just didn’t know it. You are smart, beautiful, talented and he was not. I know he liked having you around and making you feel small and bad. It made him feel better about himself. I hope you get off Jodi. That is all.

  258. Dear Jodi, I have been watching the trial everyday and praying for you. I understand all too well what you went through with Travis. It seems like men who abuse women are all typically the same. I lived in a very similar situation with a man for several years before gaining the strength to escape. Many times I tried to leave and I even did a couple times but I always went back. Because when times were good I felt on top of the world, I felt pretty and loved. But when he turned on me I was ugly and there was no love only dispair. I understand Jodi.
    You are a brave and beautiful woman inside and out. You have shown grace and strength. You are a voice for all women who have been abused.
    Stay stong , God Bless

    • I have survived abuse, and some terrible circumstance that it seemed that the whole world was against me. I learned that I am tough and hard as it can be I can handle anything. I see that strength in you…
      do whatt is right and you will be fine. You are in my heart. *hugs* Laura

  261. Jodi,

    I am sooo sick of the witch hunt they are putting you through, I’ve been there. Hold on to hope, there are good people out here. When you get free, you can come to Canada and have a fresh start. You are welcome at my place anytime.

    I’m sure you get messages from all kinds of lunatics, but I like you, am a good person who wound up in really terrible situation. Keep the faith, and don’t let the cruel ones get you down.

    Laura

  262. My mom was in an abusive relationship with a guy for a few years, so I know how that can be for a women. I’m just glad that I was around so nothing really bad happened. I really do believe your story, Jodi, and I support and pray for you every day. I Hope you will be cleared of you’re charges! Even though everything got taken to the extreme, I believe you had to do what you did to defend yourself. Hopefully the jury sees it the same way.

    God bless you Jodi.

  264. Hello Jodi,

    I have been following your trial closely. I’m sorry to see what happened to you in relation to Travis. I totally understand how you fell deeply in love with him and how hurt you must have been when he decided to ditch you and go away on a trip to Cancun with another woman. The thing is though, I just don’t comprehend how you came to the understanding that killing him would do any good. I bet if you could go back to that day, you would do things differently. It is so sad to see such a beautiful woman like you, such a wonderful artist, have to spend time in jail.

    If that’s at all possible, I’d really like to chat with you by email one day if you feel up to it. I live in Canada.

    Hugs,
    Linda

THERE IS NO WAY THAT THEY COULD ACCUSS YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID. WHAT WERE YOU SAPOSE TO DO? ” LET HIM KILL YOU” … HUGGS, SONIA

  266. It could not have been pre meditated murder because she left the memory card in camera a nd the camera with death photos, The most incriminating evidence against her

  267. hi jodi, i can totally understand how all of this happened. you only wanted to be loved. i have learned that the only love that won’t fail me is the love i receive from God. many people will disapoint us ,but the love God gives us through reading His word and a prayer filled life of seeing Him work in our lives cannot top any relationship here on earth. draw from Him for your needs and you will find them met and your desires of your heart will overflow abundantly. pray and ask Him into your life to trust Him for whatever His plan is for your life. you will experience such peace from Him that you won,t desire fleshly satisfaction. read the bible not follow peoples interpretations. i will pray for you that God would draw you to Him and you will have a new life in Him. if you are led i would like to stay in contact with you by writting. in christs love,

    • Thanks Marlene,

      I had to take out your address. Please use the link at the top of this page to obtain Jodis contact info so that you can write her. It’s just not safe for me to post your address online. Have a great day!

  268. On behalf of all women who have suffered in silence with abuse and sexual intimidation, hang in there girl! We know you are innocent and only God can judge you! Bless you and keep you safe honey…

  269. Please send a message to Jodi attorneys. Jodi does not know if Travis did not hesitate and pick his camera up and look at it before chasing her down the hall and into the closet. I am sure Travis reacted and picked up his new camera, briefly looked at the damage and then went after Jodi. Yes Travis was angry and short tempered with Jodi someone he had been bulling in secret for months. Jodi ran in fear of her life. This and other possibilities would have given her more time to get to the gun. Jodi did not run into the closet to get the gun. Jodi ran into the closet to get away from Travis. The Gun just happens to be there, and thank God. Jodi may not have been here to tell her story. Or she may have been severely hurt. I am praying for Jodi!

    P.S. Please ask the judge to stop Travis family from making faces in the court room!

    Sincerely,

    Carolyn D. King

  270. Hi Jodi:) I think you did well on th stand today… Just be truthful and everything will work out for you:) But listening to your questions today, It seems you have a church member on the jury… Just saying..:) Good Luck…:)

  271. Hang in there Jodi lots of people have you on their prayer list and are pulling for you despite it all. While no one can know what it’s like to be in the struggle your in right now, we can pull for you. Best wishes –

  272. Whether man or women, abuse is horrible either mentally or physically. Why we keep going back or try to make it right or OK is an unknown. I am an Army veteran who retired as well as an Iraqi war vet who recieved a bronze star & I recently got out of an abusive relationship (from her) with “Miss Perfect”. It’s embarassing to share & who know’s what can go through someone’s mind during times of upset. I feel for you Jodi, I’ve been through it.
    You are keeping composed through this horrible time which would crush most……

    My prayers are with you & hope the best.

  273. Jodi, I offer you a safe haven when u are finally set free. A quiet retreat away from prying eyes where you can relax & heal.I have watched your trial from day 1 and have never doubted that you should be acquitted. I’d like to reach into the TV & slap some of these commentators who put a negative spin on everything & sometimes downright stretching the truth ie Nancy Grace. You are in my prayers.

  274. hold tight. i believe when the defense calls experts in domestic violence that this will look much better.

  275. For what it’s worth…. I was just looking at another website pertaining to this case and I saw an image of what looks like a shell casing in a pool of blood. If I am correct the evidence states that a .25 caliber round was used and the shell casing was found in a pool of blood. However, the shell casing depicted in the photo is clearly not from a .25 caliber round. It is actually a spent .22 long rifle (rimfire) casing.

  276. Jodi,

    Regardless of what happened on June 4th, 2008, I believe you truly wish that day had never occurred. I honestly can’t say that I am a supporter, but I am believe in people and I know that our life’s journey can change in an instant. You’ve said many great things about Travis, but I hope you believe the same about yourself. At some point this trial will be over and all of this will be behind you, whether you’re found guilty or not guilty, this trial will be behind you and it will be time to move forward with your life. The scars from this will one day heal and you will know that one moment does not define anyone! It is important for you to understand the scope of God’s love for all of us. God has seen far worse than what occurred on June 4th, he has seen humanity, since the beginning of time, fall short of his glory, yet he still love us, equally. You have supporters and you have people who do not believe in you, but there are only two people who must settle their souls with what happened that day, and my hope is that you have time, when this is all over, to let your soul heal!

    Again, I can’t say that I am a supporter, but I believe you have a truly good heart and are a lover of people. I left you the link to a book I read when I was going through a really rough time. I’m not sure if you are allowed to receive books but I think it will be a good read! I’m so sorry that June 4th crossed the paths of you and Travis. It was not supposed to end that way.

    God Bless you, Jodi. I pray for peace in your soul after this is all over.

    Shane

  277. Hi Jodi, hope you are holding up okay all things considered. I think you are doing a great job, the best you can really under the circumstances. I really feel for you having to keep reliving that awful day. I cannot imagine what you must be going through. Your situation with Travis could have any one of us up there on the stand in this situation. I know many women who have been through relationships like this. I, myself have been there, Travis is almost a mirror of one of my exes. To everyone else he was the perfect guy, but behind close doors, only to me & a few of his girlfriends since me, he was one of the most horrible people. I understand you not wanting to bad-mouth the man that u so clearly loved so much & it is evident u still love him deeply that will never change no matter what. Once you love someone with all your heart it never goes away. Hang in there girl! What’s meant to be will be, there is a reason your life has taken this turn & gone in this direction. God will never put more on you than you can handle & you are doing a wonderful job even if at times you are unable to see it. Prayers are with you Jodi!

  278. Jodi, I am praying for you all the time; all through the day as I watch your trial. I am so sorry you are in such a mess. However, TA has treated you like a dog. You were the convert to the church, not him. And I am courious if he was a return missionary!? Well I’m assuming he was born into the church. Anyway, he should have treated you like the princess you are and the queen you could have been. Shame on him. You deserved so much more in your life. It saddens me that he did not stand strong and lead you to the path of righteousness. God is loving and forgiving, and He loves you Jodi and He forgives you. I know that if I can see the pain of your heart from all of this, that God certainly can. We can all be forgiven for our sins through our Saviour, Jesus Christ if we just ask. I hope you haven’t turned away from The Lord. He can be your comfort and your strength. I believe in you Jodi. As a woman, in a similar situation, I understand why you did what you had to do. I pray that you will not have to pay for this with any jail time or your life. I so wish I could be on that jury for your sake! I guarantee you would go home if I had anything to do with it. Keep your chin up. Keep your prayers up! Most of all Jodi… Keep the faith! Your friend in Christ, JuLee W.

  279. Just remember the truth shall set you free. I dont know what happened none of us do. It’s kinda like Pretty Little Liars… 2 can keep a secret if the other one is dead. Love that show anyways, I will pray for you I know what its like to be mentally abused. I watch this trial trying to figure you out and why did it happen? I know I could have stabbed my ex till he was dead and not blinked an eye but I didnt it was kind of a fantasy though. Still wish he would drop dead today. I moved from Philadelphia PA to Welcome NC, 526 miles to be free of him and his power of persuasion. I wasted 6 yrs of my life and we have a son, the only good thing that came out of it. Thankfully my boy will not have to be abused like I was or like his other son is now. Leaving was the hardest and best thing I ever did and Praise God because I may have killed him had I stayed a few years ago.

  280. Jodi,
    I am usually not one to post things on the internet but I must take this time to say to you that I may not know at all what happened behind closed doors on June 4, 2008, but I do know in my gut, that you did not go to that house with the intent to arrive at the outcome. I hope that everything goes well for you in this trial. From where I’m sitting, I can clearly see that the prosecution has not met it’s burden, but as people we all see things differently so we never know what the jury is thinking. I just hope someone has common sense and can see what we all here can certainly see. Just know that I, and many others, are pulling for you Jodi. You are doing an excellent job given the circumstances. I will continue to watch and listen everyday until that day comes when a not guilty verdict is read. That is what I believe and that is the positive energy that I am putting into the universe for you. Be well Jodi!

  281. Jodi, my prayers are with you, that you may have the strength to finish this ordeal with your head hold on high. Hold on tight, you are doing a great job answering the questions, and you are very articulated. I hope the jurors appreciate your intelligence, and honesty so they can make the right decision and set you free. May God Bless!

  282. I am rooting for you, Jodi. I feel like most people are just writing you off as a murderer without really trying to know the real person you are or how your mind works. I always try to understand people better before just making a judgement about them. I can also relate to you because my ex was abusive towards me. To everyone else, he was the perfect guy, but he treated me pretty badly. He also used me for sex, but I let it continue because I thought that was better than losing him altogether. I also understand your testimony about memory loss. I’ve had intense/stressful situations in the past where everything became foggy and I couldn’t exactly remember what happened either. I don’t think you deserve a 1st degree murder charge or the death penalty at all. I don’t think you’re a threat to society. I think you were only a threat to one person, Travis, and that’s because he was a threat to you.

  283. Jodi
    I cant believe all of the haters ,with their own theories passing judgement on you already, I dont normaly post comments,but felt compelled to do so after reading about your case 2 days ago.When you are free from this nightmare,I wish you a long and happy life.

  284. Jodi I once was in your shoes, my husband was as about as abusive as one could get. If I would have had a weapon I would have did him in I have no doubt in my mind. I know how the abuse can lead you to just snap. I hope the jury does understand how this can happen to anyone and shows mercy on you. Much love and light sweet girl.

  285. Good morning Jodi, Thankfully many Christians are coming forward to stand with you in love, compassion and prayer. This is what we should do. My husband questioned the fact that you could remember such details and then have a black out of a critical time. I explained to him that for years I was afraid to be alone in a house at night..literally fearful because all I could reflect on was a memory of a mans face staring at me through a window at night. Finally by chance I was talking to my sister after many (about 20 yrs) and told her about this fear. She told me the details…that our parents were visiting neighbors and we were at home alone, at night in the living room and the windows and doors were open…for cooling (no a/c back then). She said a large man came up to the window and just stared at us. Later it was found out that he was an escaped prisoner. Why he didn’t harm us must be by the grace of God. What I’m trying to say is that she remembered all the details and what was found out later and I only remember seeing the FACE and the FEAR until someone could tell me. To this day my personal memory is still only the FACE and the FEAR. Jodi…I believe your trauma caused your memory of certain events to be blocked. Stay strong, remain open to compassion, love and believe that God loves you and will always be there for you. Wishing you peace and praying that if you have not accepted Jesus as your Saviour/Lord that you take the time to consider this free gift and accept it…it’s free and precious. Take Care.

  286. The defense should call a psychiatrist who can testify that the brain can block out memories of traumatic events as a way of protecting itself. It happened to me. I was raped by an unknown male at knifepoint at age 16, and my mind blocked it out. When I was age 35, I had a nervous breakdown and went through extensive therapy, where my psychiatrist determined that something traumatic had happened in my life when I was about 16 or 17 and it was something I couldn’t tell my parents about. He suggested I call my best friends in high school and see if they remembered anything. I called my closest friend and she told me about the rape that happened while we were 16 years old and at a party at a cabin in the woods. I wasn’t allowed to attend the party. A bunch of men on motorcycles came and started knife fighting with the guys in the cabin, except the one who remained outside and pulled a knife on me. She said I was hysterical for hours. The incident was never reported, but had created difficulties in my relationships with men. I am still baffled that the mind can block these things out, but that’s what I was told. As a result, Jodi, I understand how you cannot recall many details of what happened when you killed Travis and how traumatic it must have been. I’m hoping that justice prevails and you are found not guilty.

  287. Jodi
    I pray for you as I type this. I hope your faith is strong because the Lord has faith in you. I would Love to help you with any questions you have and guide you thru your doubts. God definitely put a lot of talent in you and that shows in your art. Please feel free to contact me when your feeling down God Bless

  288. If u wanted to hide the photos , u could of just taken the camera with you! that should prove that it wasn’t pre planned 2) having stabbed him just proves that u were in a struggle lost and terrified if it was premeditated you would of just shoot him nicely! jody i have no idea whats wrong with you but i for sure believe there is something more to this story, and so should the jury therefore they cant and shouldn’t and hopefully wont find you guilty or else i will be mad

  289. Jodi,

    You are a very beautiful, sweet, well spoken woman. I do not believe you should be OR will be found guilty. It’s a shame they allow intimate photos of you be released to the public, you deserve so much better in life.

    I am wishing you all the best. Take care and keep a positive attitude!

  290. Dear Jodi,

    I believe you. I hate the way that all the news channels are portraying you. It’s so one sided, where are ethics and objectives in Journalism? I am a news reporter for a small non commercial radio station in Warm Springs Oregon, and it is wrong to see HLN doing this shame on them..

    I realize that you have done some wrong things, but I believe your testimony.. Hang in there..

    Will Robbins

  291. I hope the jury realizes that if you had gone there to kill him you could have done it while he slept. It would have been far less traumatic, less forensic evidence and no one would have ever known who did it.

  292. Hi Jodi! When I first heard your story I believed your guilty but watching the trial I believe this was self defense. As a fellow mormon I understand how everything needs to be hush hush yo keep the I’m perfect image. Travis took the advantage of your feelings for him amd would pull you in when he wants you tgen throw you out when he doesn’t. It screws with you emotionally and you can’t stop doing what it is to please him just so you can have that attention that you crave so badly since you love this man. I will keep praying for you and remember you got supporters out here.
    st

  293. Jodi, hang in there, there is alot of people who are with you , your not alone, i do want to say i to have been in situations were i cant remember exactly what happen, maybe because of being so frightend, after the fact every thing was just a fog! and not because of any mind altering substance!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU JODI

  294. Juan Martinez seems really mean, and so does Nancy Grace and the other program hosts on HLN. I can’t wait to see them proven wrong.

    Jodi, hang in there. You will win this!

  295. Me and my mom are rooting for you in Los Angeles Jodi! Hang in there you we know you will be proven innocent! <3

  296. Hey Jodi,

    I believe you. I don’t know why people don’t see the obvious. You were over being treated like scum. I don’t believe that Travis was a true Mormon or even a believer in God. The things he made you do? And of course you would give in because you loved him and saw the best. I think it’s crazy how people call you, or anybody a stalker because you liked him, BUT yet he was the one would call, you and ask you to come over. Like he didn’t participate in that. I remember being in love with somebody and they did the same thing to me….called me a stalker, when all I was doing was answering his calls, coming to see him when he asked etc. Guys LOVE to call women stalkers. It makes them feel more important. I think Travis was leading two lives, and I believe he would do the pedophile stuff, because he was so conflicted about sex why wouldn’t he experiment in this way?. That guy seems crazy NOT YOU! Do I wish he wasn’t killed? No, and I am sure you wish he wasn’t either, but I get it.. I can totally see though, why you blanked out. I know when I have been really mad in the past and said words to somebody, I asked the people who were watching, “What did I say?” I couldn’t remember anything I said, till they pointed out what I said. You get in a rage. In your case it was a rage you couldn’t remember because you were so scared. I don’t get that people don’t see this. Hang in there. PS: people say I look like you. I can see it. I will send you a pic sometime if you want. You have a twin.

  297. Jodi, you are an intelligent, articulate woman. I find your testimony compelling and believable. Travis wasn’t the angel he posed to be and his fetishes and deviant thoughts/behavior MUST be taken into account. I can only imagine how this went down. You are doing a fabulous job of defending yourself and your ability to stay focused and keep Juan in his place is downright applaudable. Your team is incredible and I believe you have a better-than-average chance at victory. Good luck, Jodi. I know you feel remorse for what occurred, I know you feel shame, it is clearly evident. After all that has happened, I hope you will find some inner peace.

  298. Hi Jodi,

    I support you and pray you are not sentenced to death. I pray that Travis’s family is given the strength to heal and find peace.

    What happened June 4th can’t be changed, you already have to live with that day forever and face your judgement day before GOD, those are both big punishments.

    My instinct tells me June 4th was not supposed to end tragically, that the heat of moment clouded your judgement and you went overboard. The tragic event in itself is something that most people would not remember details.

    Stay strong, think positive and hold on to your faith. I am here for you as a non judging friend,

  299. Hi, Jodi. Don’t annoyed by that shorty of JM. I can’t stand his voice, and ridiculous conclusions. I’m praying for you honey, that you be strong. I hope that these jurors get enough of taunting you, and make the right decision on your favor.

  300. YOU will be acquitted LIke i was Everything will be fine YOU will find one Day like I did Everything is good

  301. Hi Jodi,

    I’ve been watching your trial and listening to you testify for the past few weeks. I want to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. After hearing the many details of how the relationship between you and Travis played out, I can understand how things ended the way they did. It is unfortunate that Travis’ family is hearing about the negative details of who he really was. His sisters and brother are constantly making negative facial expressions. I think deep down, they know that they must face reality that their brother wasn’t perfect. He was flawed. It sounds like you constantly covered up for him and elevated him to a place he didn’t deserve to be. I’ve been there and have made excuses for someone too. In the end it wasn’t worth it because he viewed me in a bad light….as if I wasn’t worthy…just like Travis viewed you…in my opinion. I hope the Jury will see Travis for who he really was and I hope you will one day be able to walk free.

  302. Can someone please tell the Defense team that Jodi HAS to SHOW remorse, not just accept responsibility, and perhaps even apologize to the family, and show some emotion.

    It might just save her life. She doesn’t have to admit guilt, she just has to say I’m so sorry I was put in a position that I had to take Travis’s life, and mean it.

    I suspect there are at least a few jurors who think she’s guilty, but they still have some sympathy for her, but she has to show she’s not just “ashamed”, but feels real remorse. If the jurors feel she’s sincere, I believe it will be very hard for them to give her the DP, and it could sway some jurors to give 2nd degree instead of 1st.

  303. I DONT WANT JODI TO GET DEATH SENTENCE, HOWEVER SHE EVEN ADMITS SHE DID SOMETHING WRONG. WHAT THAT IS WE WILL NEVER KNOW FOR SURE. ALSO AFTER SHE GOT THE GUN SHE SAID SHE HAD IT POINTED TOWARD HIM BUT HE KEPT COMING. MY FEELING IS OF COURSE HE DID HE KNEW IT WAS UNLOADED, IF HE HAD A GUN.

  304. Hi Jodi,I cant explain the feelings that I have had in the last three weeks,I have been captivated since I have become aware of your trial.I have the utmost respect for you and how you have been answering the questions put forth to you.I believe that you are innocent and the way you have been treated is a sham,I live in Canada where there is no capital punishment,nor do I support it.We have a thing up here that is called that a defendant has the right to a concise and speedy trial,your case would have been certainly downgraded,I am in disbelief that it has taken five years to hear your case.You are a beautiful young woman and you should be treated as such.Hang in there Jodi,you will prevail and the truth will be known.

  305. Hi Jodi, I am your supporter from afar, I live in TImor island, the Indonesian part, near Australia. I can only follow your trail via YouTube. The media and its commentaries are so bias and very judgmental. How can they claim themselves as “journalist” if they behave that way?? Shame on them . .
    The jury should read all the comments above, those terrible, horrific, traumatic events experienced by our female readers. I feel sorry and I have my all sympathies to the ladies in this web. People (and the jurors) l who never formally learn psychology will never understand your situation unless they use their open mind and open heart and listen to you not simply by their ears but with their heart. I am a male, I understand and I have to admit the existence of some demonic, animalistic sex drive toward women, I weren’t raised properly by my parents and didn’t learn about the Faith I might have been like Travis — (and when I were in such animalistic stage I think my other-self would like to see it disappears).
    I don’t know what to say more in this column, but I can only pray and hope that the jury still have a humane conscience and listen to you with their heart.
    Jodi, I love you, I love your courage, I love all your supporters and your winning defense team.
    We’re here to support you. You don’t deserve a small piece of the shameful “death” penalty, you should live and continue with your life — even if the justice system in your country puts you in prison, remember you have hundreds of new friends out there.

  306. I believe that some or all of the jury are watching In Session on Tru TV because the various commentators on that program have asked the VERY SAME questions as the jury. I smell a rat.

  307. I can see why Travis couldn’t stop keeping his hands off such a beautiful educated women. The only way a Jury will convict you of 1st Degree Murder is that they (Jury) are watching the bias media spin. Keep the faith and think positive thoughts!

  308. Hang in there, Jodi. You’re doing a good job under the stress. For the jury to have that many questions it is most likely they have many doubts. Having worked in a courtroom most of my adult life I encourage you to focus on the testimony and try to stay calm (that’s how you appear) and keep the faith. Your counsel will do the rest.

    Hang in there. Justice will be served.

    Dave

  309. For Jodi,

    there are people in this world who love you, support you and want the best outcome possible for you. you have amazing talents and its terrible to think that a beautiful, articulate and talented woman such as yourself is in this predicament. i hate all the bad comments and press around you. its strange how people (even though they understand it rationally) judge you on your previous lies and omit to take into account that you are now telling the truth.

    am following your trial and you will be in my prayers forever more. know that there are a lot of people around the world who don’t necessarily know you but love and support you. even here on the other side of the globe in New Zealand.

    keep your faith in God. Pray often. I’ll pray for you every day.

    God Bless You Jodi.

  310. Hey Jodi,

    I’m praying for you; you have done enough time and deserve to be released to live your life and find happiness.

    • Hang in there Jodi. You are doing a fantastic job on the stand. Don’t let Martinez get you down. Stay the course. I know that things are hard for you now, but you are showing amazing courage. Keep doing what your doing, and have faith in God… You will be fine.

      We love you….

  311. Jodi Arias,

    I hope this message goes directly to you and not anybody else. I have been following your trial every week. I also message you before. I couldn’t understand you story much. Not until I investigation into the Mormon religion. I AM NOT A MORMON AND IT IS NOT MY RELIGION. My initial intention was to look into the Law of Chasity since you talked about that in your trials. I got bored and start browsing around the internet and mormon books in the library. I almost took all mormon books off the shelve in the library. I flip through page after page of almost every book. With a of a pile of 50 books. According to my research and from your testimonies. Travis Alexander has violated the rule of Latter Day Saint in the mormon religion and committed a sin. Then I read what the consequence were for those of high rank that violated the LDS code. I came across a very shocking practice! I won’t mention the name of such process. After reading it I looked over your second story that you told us. However, believe it or not your second story regarding the mask intruders is very consistent with the consequences after someone of high rank violated the LDS code. Travis Alexander’s death is consistent with mormon doctrine. I am pretty sure you have an idea of what I am saying. I won’t mention the process in detail and who these people might be since I have no intent to endanger you and your family. I respect your decision coming foward. I don’t think you were the one that killed him.

    I get that your intention is to protect yourself and your family since I have read in this site that your sister Angela Arias has been receiving threats in the past from the message post as:

    “I would also like to put out there that Travis’s family or his friends who ever they are are horrible people!!!! I have gotten threatened repeatedly by his followers!! They even went to the length of calling my 2 year old daughter a cunt. They, whoever they are, threatened her life!! So I want to know how they are honoring Travis’s memory by threatening an innocent little girl?? I love my sister and that is all I have to say.”

    By Angela Arias

    I hope the rest of your family safe and happy!! After all people will realized that you are innocent and release you. Finally, I think you should watch out for Juan Martinez. This guy like to put words in your mouth and twist your testimonies. Be very careful of this person! I think he will bring up a witness to should that Travis actually don’t own a gun.

    I do hope that everything goes your way.

  312. Good luck Jodi. I’ll say a prayer for you. I like your art. Sometimes we get caught up in things out of our control and all we can do is hold our head high and carry on.

  313. I wish we all had an address to send you cards of support…. I wish you all the best…. alaways

    • I think you have to have her booking number in order to send her a message to the jail where she is being held, and it has to be postcard from. If anyone knows differently, please let me know.

  314. Jodi, we’re thinking of and praying for you. They say “everything will be okay in the end, and if it’s not okay, it’s not the end.” I know you like little quotes like that, so I’m sending that one from my heart to yours. Big hugs!!

  315. How can they not aquit her?
    if they find her guilty, just think of what messge that sends to all future victims of domestic abuse!
    there is NO doubt in my mind Jodi acted in self defense..NONE, and I don’t believe there is any with the jurors either!
    cold blooded killer? Come on! Does anyone truly believe that a person can take the life of someone and be in the right frame of mind? No way!

  316. Women who are being sexually abused by men don’t even know that it is abuse……..until they do. Hopefully at least one juror will have experienced painful and uncomfortable sex and they will GET IT!
    Anytime a sexual partner does not care about their lover’s enjoyment is an abuser….. GOD BLESS!

  317. the picture of the bullet casing laying in blood does not mean the blood was there and the casing landed on top of the blood – the casing could have been there first and then the blood – which would make it look like the casing came second – if milk is spilled on the floor did the table leg get set on top of milk or did the milk surround the table leg?

  318. Hi Jodi,just to say I cant stop thinking about you,Hang in there and dont let them pressure you,law enforcement and such try to badger you into saying things to suit them.The Mormon thing about them taking out a cleansing could be right on track,I think you are totally innocent and I pray for you every night,you will persist.You are such a beautiful vibrant young lady and the malicious things that you are accused off are very hard to believe.God bless,Jodi.

  319. How can we contact you directly? When you free visit Canada. I’ll take you fishing and show you icebergs.
    Keep looking to the future. You’ll be fine.

  320. Jodi,

    I keep this in my head people are getting Thou shall not murder mixed up with KILLING…….there is a difference I hope you know this……..God knows the difference. An I too think this is so. I do not believe in the Mormon or LDS ways. I was raised a Catholic as a child I now am really a Born again Christian but I have Catholic views on many things so I am a very open minded person on Religion but I do not agree with adding to or taking away from the Bible so therefore I can’t ever acknowledge those other views people have.

    Anyways I just want you to know that I believe in you an I think there is more to the story where there is a FOG for you. I pray for you several times a day an for the jurors also to see the truth an not make assumptions like almost every Mormon/LDS member has in Mesa Arizona. An do the Christian thing also. This should not be a DEATH PENALTY case it was SELF DEFENSE period. I am sorry he died that way but he did. All this nonsense by seeing Christians being truly hateful an Evil has really got under my skin. I pray for your safety for your family’s safety an for just one juror to feel an see what I feel from you. An the hateful evil people need to go away. You are WELCOME here in my home in ALABAMA any time. God will hear me I pray. I have been closer to him since I have died 4 times in my life an seen heaven an I know it is not the way the other churches say. I am still here for a reason maybe to help others see heaven in the right way.

    Killing in personal self-defense: just and on purpose.
    Self defense resulting in an accidental death: just but accidental.

    The Bible does allow for killing in self-defense. In a sense, there are different kinds of self-defense. There is personal self-defense, self-defense of the society (“social self-defense”) and there is national self-defense, which we call “war.” In all of these cases, the taking of another human life is allowed for by God. This booklet has been dedicated to “social self-defense,” the execution of criminals who are dangerous to society. War is a national self-defense, when people are called upon to protect their nation from outside aggression, and any student of the Bible will attest to the large number of wars recorded therein. Of course, there are unjust wars of aggression for property, wealth, or slaves, and the heads of state who start those wars will be held responsible by God at the Judgment. Furthermore, not all killing in a war is justified, and almost every war has cases of what are now called “war crimes.”

    As with war and the execution of criminals, personal self-defense is also allowed for in Scripture. For example, Exodus 22:2 says, “If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed.” This verse should be the law of our land today, and unfortunately in many places it is not. In many cities, a homeowner is not allowed to be readily able to defend himself against someone breaking in. Some areas do not allow homeowners to have loaded guns available, while in some other areas the homeowner must first “be sure” that the intruder has a weapon or is capable of being deadly. Biblical Law says that if someone is breaking into your home, he does so at the risk of his life, and the homeowner would never be considered a criminal for defending himself. Also, remember that on the very day of his arrest Christ said to his disciples, “If you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one” (Luke 22:36). Christ expected things to become very unsafe for his disciples after his death, and told them to prepare to defend themselves from unjust aggression.

    It may help to think of killing in terms of “just or unjust” and “accidental or on purpose.”

    Murder: unjust and on purpose.
    Manslaughter: unjust but accidental.
    Execution of criminals (social self defense): just and on purpose.
    Killing in war (national self defense): just and on purpose.
    Killing in personal self-defense: just and on purpose.
    Self defense resulting in an accidental death: just but accidental.

    In the above list, we see that murder and manslaughter are unjust causes of death. In personal self-defense, the execution of criminals and in war, the cause of death is just, whether there is initial intent to kill the person or not. We can rightly conclude from Scripture that personal self-defense is something that God sanctions, even if it means the death of an unjust aggressor. The Founding Fathers of the United States were correct in asserting that God gave every person the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” An aggressor who tries to take from others forfeits those rights, and it should be the law of the land that each and every person have the right to defend himself from unjust aggression of all types.

    Even a casual look at God’s Creation reveals that self-defense plays an important role in the self-preservation of nearly all forms of life. Perhaps human society could be profitably likened to a biological organism, every one of which has some way of warding off internal and external enemies. The more complex animal bodies dispatch white blood cells to attack germs and other toxic intruders. These white blood cells are very simple forms of life, but they are “wise” enough to act as if the wholeness and health of the organism is at stake, and without sentiment or ceremony destroy the intruder. These enemies of the body are not kept alive and cordoned off in prisons to be preserved. They are destroyed and eliminated as any future threat.

    Similarly, evil persons are intruders into the “body” of decent human society, which has a right to protect and defend itself against such intrusion. A body without an immune system cannot defend itself and soon dies. Any godly society that refuses to establish and enforce God’s laws will also eventually “die,” i.e., be overcome by wickedness. People in the medical field work very hard to control “evil” in a body so that a person will not die of disease, and it is understood that harmful bacteria must be killed so the body will be healthy. So too, if we are to have a healthy society, wicked and harmful people need to be executed. This clearly teaches the value of life, because it shows that the only thing as valuable as a life is a life. No wonder God commanded, “Life for life” in Scripture, and even repeated it twice (Ex. 21:23; Deut. 19:21).

  321. Dear Jodi,

    Based on my academic and professional education as to my spiritual-minded, intuitive, intellectual and
    emotional knowledge and experience, I would especially like to bring to your attention, if I may, while hopefully allowing you to take into consideration, if you agree, some of my numerous sophisticated observations and clarifications pertinent to your exceedingly strenuous, irksome, and painful participa-
    tion in offering your genuine sum total while confidently and seriously trying to convince the members of the jury to eventually and optimistically give you nothing less than a fair-shake referring to their last but one final ruling and verdict.

    Jodi, please remember at all times that I am on your side, while wishing you all the while the very best outcome!

    1.- Having watched your trial since the very beiginning, I firmly believe that the following brief description regarding some of your main features and mental characteristics could well be of important interest to you personally and to a myriad of positive factional people.

    2,- First and foremost, I support the notion that you are a very attractive, articulate, artistic, courteous and generous young woman and that you are by far a much more intelligent and much more talented young woman in comparison to any merit which you have received so far and are continuously offered espe-cially by such an opposing and negative media during such an exceedingly demanding criminal trial.

    3.- One of your most important characteristics which I have noticed during your trial has to do with your type on intellect. Relative to unconscious psychology, you possess for the most part a cumulative intel-lect. For example, you are not one to rely on first impressions to form your opinions: rather, you care-fully work out each detail as you eventually build your ideas toward your conclusions. In other words, there is a good deal of methodical thinking as part and parcel of your psyche (essential understanding and true being). Thus it is surmized that whoever understands the mind can have the key to all things else. In addition, I need to assert that the majority of those individuals who possess a cumulative intel-lect also possess an excellent memory, and this is especially from having gained the knowledge of grasping and building one idea upon another, while accumulating clear facts until having enough of them, thus allowing those individuals to finally reach the correct or proper decision(s) or conclusion(s),

    4.- There is evidence that during your young lifetime as well as your current period of existence, your emotional experiences have been felt very deeply while leaving lasting impressions. Hence I am of the opinion that your ongoing life experiences will continue to remain written indelibly upon your person-ality. Though I suggest that you kindly accept the fact that heavy or strong emotions do not necessarily mean that they are always required to exist in contradiction or in the negative, because this is abso-lutely not true.

    5. There is proper supposition that your positive goals in life are set more on a day-to-day existence, which implies that they are not really subject to the whims of the future. To this effect, my belief is that because in the past you preferably desired the security of certain specific accomplishments, you simply did not bring yourself beyond what you truly thought could have been completely achieved or fulfilled.

    6.- You are inclined to give close attention to details, which adds to your ability to retain mental pictures of past experiences and ideas.For example, I am convinced that you could have succeeded in either the academic mechanical discipline or the scientific department of knowledge. And please remember that because attention to details is fundamental as part and parcel of your personality, such an immense quality of yours definitely contributes to your having a very good memory.

    7.- Like a strong arm, your loyalty to what you believe is right supports your beliefs and braces your friends. And such loyalty on your part would not be likely to weaken under pressure. However, it must be consciously understood and remembered that while the characteristic of loyalty happens to be the no-blest of intellectual character traits, if unwisely cultivated, it could unfortunately cuff you to false ideas.

    8.- By nature, you are not an argumentative person. For instance, a warning demonstrating the charac-teristic or argumentativeness would definitely relate to the following example: “To be right almost all of the time is important to your ego. Rather than admit you may be wrong, you argue continuously until the other person finally concedes.”

    9.- Jodi, your most important positive attribute which I had predominantly noticed and must now briefly comment upon has to do with your frankness or ability to express yourself with candor, meaning truth in action. For example, I am of the opinion that before having met Mr. Alexander, you would have been a frank, truthful and thus direct and honest person. Likewise and to the best of my recollection during your trial, I detected that you had also succeeded in remaining direct, that is to say frank and heart-to-heart with your awesome attorney Mr. Kurk Nurmi, including the members of the jury by having expressed yourself none less than directly and clearly to them, predominantly while answering all of their ques-tions. Incidentally, it should be clearly understood that frankness per se is the propensity or aptness and desire to be direct, dependable and trustworthy in communication. Hence complete frankness is free of secretiveness, evasiveness, self-deception, wrong manipulation including outright deception or lies to others. And finally, let us remember that self-deceit is definitely an escape from reality, namely an unconscious refusal to face the facts of a specific event, problem or situation, or more specifically an unintentional or unpremeditated desire to escape from the consideration of unpleasant realities. And thus the desire to deceive oneself relates directly to one’s unconscious necessity: for otherwise, there would simply be no deception. Some psychologists refer to it as “denial”.

    10.- Interestingly, you possess the quality of sensuousness. With undivided attention, sensuousness as such happens to be a positive influence to all other existing social traits. For example, you enjoy pleasures simulated by vibrant colours, materials and tones. Hence form, feeling and fragrance enable you to enjoy life all the way. To express more appropriately your highly developed senses, you assur-edly possess an above-average appreciation of sight, sound, taste, touch and feel (natural or suitable environment). In addition, you can be easily impressed by tasty foods, fragrant odours and by the feel of soft textures. Please especially remember that if you can live by allowing most if not all of your given highly sensory esperiences to take place, life will allow you to enjoy and grasp at least some if not all of the rarest opportunities during your lifetime. For unfortunately, the majority of all other people will only be given the mere or ever so little liberty to exist, and nothing more than that!

    11.- To conclude, I especially wish to more than meaningfully commend your unprecedented defence attorney Mr. Kurk Nurmi. Most sincerely, I do not remember having ever seen such an intelligent, experi- enced, even-tempered, determined, persistent and emotionally poised criminal defence attorney dili-gently at work. Bravo Mr. Nurmi!

    12.- Jodi, may I strongly suggest that you continue to remain as positive and as optimistic as possible while allowing your life’s destiny to hopefully allow the very best of everything to take place on your be-half: and all of this among the proper people involved while contemplating the best available opportu-nities and decisions, especially in order for you not to receive more than a second degree conviction, or even a lesser sentence to be preferred!

  322. Jodi: I am from NH and want you to know that I have been following your trial every day. You are so strong…Keep up the stiff chin and know that you shall walk free someday. I only have one question…Why did Nurmi want to be dismissed from the case.

    • He wanted to be dismissed because he wasn’t being paid what he was worth. They raised the hourly rate to 250.00 and he stayed. Nothing big behind that story.

  323. Jodi,

    I see you have many supporters so I will keep this brief. I pray there are members if the jury that have had similar dating experiences and can relate to what many if us including you have had to deal with. I was with a man I was more in love with than what was for my own good. I would do anything he asked just to please him and it was largely sexual experiences he requested to keep him happy. I was uncomfortable wit this but went along to keep him happy with me. People on the outside saw him as a perfect gentleman and professional but behind closed doors he was a porn addicted sex addict. I sufferred much abuse and tolerated him seeing many other woman at the same time but I felt I loved him and when together he loved me. It sickens me to see you being portrayed as a villian and he an angel

  324. Dear Jodi Arias,

    I think that you are a Stunningly Beautiful Angel, and I hope that you’re out of this terrible situation and free to pursue your dreams once again as soon as possible. I would also like you to know that I plan to leave a donation to your commissary account. I hope you’re having an Awesome Sunday, Beautiful Angel! 🙂

  325. Jodi – chin up, other women are out here who understand your situation and support you. I think it’s terrible how the media are judging you as a stalker, yet so much of the trial evidence is showing how Travis was a willing participant in the relationship and was even often the pursuer. I was in an obsessive addictive relationship years ago just like yours, and understand completely how terrible it is yet how amazing at the same time. It’s easy to blame the woman for being stupid, but it’s the man who won’t let go until something catastrophic happens. It happened to me and almost destroyed both of us, we lost our jobs, our families and nearly our lives but police got involved just in time and pulled us back from the edge. I hope your defense can bring in some testimony about how much duress you were under from Travis’ endless hot and cold abusive manipulation of you over such a long period of time, i know what that feels like and how it takes over your mind and common sense and how you internalize the guy’s opinion of you as not good enough to be their “real” girlfriend. Emotional abuse is just as damaging as physical abuse. Keep your faith strong and no matter what happens I hope you write a book someday to educate young women about this before it’s too late for them. You are not the villain and hope you will be found Not Guilty. Sincerely, Jennifer

  326. Jodi,
    You are a very strong person to go through all these days on the stand. You answer ever question and look right at the jury. They are seeing the side of you that we see. We believe your story and support you, God Bless You!

  327. Jodi,I pray for you everynight and hope you will keep the faith,you are a very beautiful intelligent woman and deserve the best.I am proud to say that I believe you are innocent and you will prevail from this tradgedy.Jodi be confident and stay focused.

  328. Please clarify if the .25 cal handgun stolen from the grandparents house is a revolver or a semi automatic. The court documents just state “auto”. Both the revolver and semi automatic can fall under that term.

  329. Jodi, you were looking for love in all the wrong places… I hope the judge spares your life so you may keep singing, drawing, and writing. You’re so gifted and beautiful, it’s a crying shame things turned out as they did.

  330. Hi Jodi,cant help but think about you,I never met you yet,somehow i feel like Ive known you.Ever since your trial has come public,I have believed in you,cant explain why,but I feel that you will be found not guilty.Every day is one step closer to freedom.Keep up the good work and show them that you are truthful.You are a very beautiful young woman and deserve the best in life,praying for you and god bless.

  331. Jodi, every time you admit to killing Travis I want to scream, but you DON’T know that. Ok the gun went off when he lunged at you.. but it DIDN’T kill him.. then you were so traumatised you can’t remember anything, just bits.. there were 5 DAYS.. people–room- mate, friends of his came to the place.. what I want to say is…………………. as you don’t remember–why are you saying you killed him? I wonder just how many people have thought about this and wondered the same thing.

    I can’t stop thinking about the Mormon throat slashing from ear to ear when rules are broken.. I know in my heart you didn’t do that. So, someone else DID..

    I love you, you’re in my thoughts every day.. stay strong, you’re doing GREAT!

    Heather xxxxxx I pray for your Freedom Jodi.

    • Jodi,

      I too feel like Heather does here. You do realize there were 5 whole days no one went to check
      on Travis. We all think this is very strange as since his death all these supposedly close friends
      of PPL an the LDS Faith are coming forward with just ugliness about you an Praise for him.

      Which I understand people do that in a death of a friend or loved one but as far as being a Christian which
      they will all say they are? they do believe in the Death Penalty for YOU when it has not been
      proven in my eyes that you PLANNED an EXECUTED Travis. There are too many things that
      do not add up. An if you have a fog not long after shooting the gun an then hitting the floor
      with Travis on top of you. How did he get all those stabs an slashes? I am not so sure
      you did that? are you ?

      I also wish you would just say more about Travis I know you want to protect him from hurting
      his family but seriously they all want nothing more than to watch you die they have stated it
      on their pages an blogs. It is truly horrible.

      I do not believe you deserve the DEATH PENALTY! I believe you should do some time an get out
      of there. I hope you stay strong as now I worry about your health an if you will not want to die.
      All you did was protect yourself the rest I am not even sure about as you are not either.

      Please do not lose FAITH an continue telling the TRUTH of what you remember. A lot of
      people are here for you an I hope you can read all of these message one day it proves
      not all PEOPLE are just out for BLOOD an CONVICT before even knowing what all happened
      that day.

      As always Prayers an Love from Alabama to you. Stay Strong at the Broken Places my friend ♥

      • I agree with Heather & Ronda I no something far more went on there and she may be really protecting him or someone for something that is far greater then any one of us could imagine …..or just not remembering anything until she was in the desert could be very true!!!!!! On thing is true there was a big struggle & that alone is the part thats just not right.R.I.P. Travis ………… Jody Im Praying for you girl stay strong and ask Jesus to be your personal savior.Its a free gift not by works ,no one may boast ….favour of god and he saves not by the works of the law ,but through faith in Christ Jesus..Ask him to come in to your heart and to forgive you for your sins & you shall be saved.God has a wonderful plain for your life Jody !!!! I’m Praying for u Stay Strong & tell the truth it will set u free Godbless <3

  332. You just assume you killed him, Jodi. How can you be SURE you did?

    Things just don’t make sense.. no one would slash someone’s throat from ear to ear and definitely Not You…. ONLY someone Mormon..

    xxxx Heather

  333. Jodi I just want to wish u luck. I believe u been victimized and they’re now turning it on u. I just know a person doesn’t kill like that for no apparent reason there obviously has to be an explanation. Iam sure he abused u both physically verbally and mentally. I know how these men work. I am too a victim of the same abuse. They try to control ur life and mind to the point u don’t even recognize yourself any longer. It’s a struggle to break away from these type of men because even when u try to go on they have to somehow contact u again and start the whole cycle up again. They try to act like they love u so they can get all ur love in return. It’s to the point they use ur love to control ur mind for their own manipulation. It’s ashame people can’t be charged with manipulation and controlling a persons life and therefore they just continue their madness. Well good luck and I know u didn’t mean to hurt him but this type of abuse and mind control can end tragically.

  334. I read that Mormons slash a sinners throat in order cleanse them of their sins after a big fall out. I think Jodi shot him but after he continued attacking her, she used the knife for self defense. And that’ s why he has the defense wounds on his hands. As he died slowly from the wound shot, she dragged him back to the shower. During the five days he was missing, and as the stench of decomposed body increased in his house- the so called “Mormon friends” found him. They figured his ex had to be involved in this death so they/he/she did the finishing ritual of slashing his throat from ear to ear. Jodi didn’t go that far. It is impossible for her to ddl that much damage within such short period of time. Jodi Arias did not slash Travis Alexander 29 times. Most of these was done by the Mormon friends. The slashing of the tires and email to his then girlfriend was done by them not Jody. This makes more sense than blaming all that atrocity to one person.

  335. You’ve done the best you can, maybe too well. Society is skeptical of those who over explain. Seems cases are won with the jury having to adhere to “reasonable doubt”. Unless absolute,and demanding an exact answer, “off hand I can’t remember” ” works, and stop volunteering. You’re completely exposed, no intent to sway others agenda attempting to prosecute via persecution you chose to not manipulate, manipulation lead you down the wrong path once already, honesty is the only thing you have faith in so there will be no second guessing. They have enough information to process. You’ve done well enough, . accept being a victim and don’t be afraid to show it. You need to appeal to at least one juror to feel your pain, the pain you yourself don’t even understand because you’ve become numb yet still trying to please people. .Someone does know, maybe better than you having already lived it. NO one remembers detail unless gifted and that percentage is so small it’s not recognized. You’ve trapped yourself with too much explaining, the jurors have their cheat sheets and referring/looking to see if you will repeat exact same thing, let’s hope it’s not too late for the jury to be confused. Not one of them are guilt free about telling lies when needed to so they do understand. and notes are their memory. TA was evil, get over it, dead or not. All is an unfortunate set of circumstances but I do believe with good strategy you have a chance. Should that chance come about, never ever sacrifice yourself. You were in fear for your life, scared beyond comprehension, shook uncontrollably, adrenalin peaked, and even more fear considering the non visual blurr on the way to the deserts first stop where you ached physically . . reality was even a wonder of.. We’ve all been that afraid at least once, that memory activates adrenalin making our hearts physically leap years after the event hence PTSD. Martinez knows you were victimized but he’s in it for the win not justice. . feel guilty later if at all actually, Most people would be angry, that’s why you’re found unbelievable, it’s not average to make excuses/protect a perp/predator. Yes . . TA was, you were the perfect target and he knew it. You aren’t the first and wouldn’t be the last. People understand pain and anger even when they don’t understand what causes it. Remorse and guilt are too different things . . time to remorsefully beat Martinez .. not by his making you guilty. Embrace yourself, you are under attack for your life again . . say why your are staying focused or the potential to lose it is near possible again, inaudibles thru a flood of tears will having many cry with you and don’t give a damn what the media says, the coverage is appalling, their hype could be considered a sin. God Bless and ask Him to approach your peers to allow you the chance to be of some good to society. Anyone have a problem with this is pitiful and pathetic, but I’m a disenchanted person, Jodie isn’t.

  336. Dear Jodi,

    I was married to a man not unlike Travis for several years–someone who seemed to be wonderful, sweet and a pillar of the community. Suffice it to say that secretly he was violent, possessive, cruel, abusive (physically, sexually and emotionally) and demeaning–but no one but me ever knew this side of him. As horrible as the marriage was, I hesitated to leave because my parents told me they would not “support” my decision, because they thought my then-hubby was so “amazing” that I’d “never do better.” Finally I moved far away from our home in Idaho (near my parents) to the Midwest just to be rid of him. My mother actually refused to speak to me for the next several years because of the divorce! (I did manage to get a temple divorce, so she let me back in the family, but things have been strained ever since–and this was over 20 years ago!) If they only knew what I’d gone through…I was very fortunate that I was able to get away without having to pull any triggers, but all I can say is, there were times I was very close to it. Sometimes I’d think, “At least in prison, I’ be free…I’d be locked up but free of him!”

    I think what Travis did to you was similar–I think you were a young and slightly mixed-up woman, and Travis took advantage of you and played mind games w/ you to the point where you didn’t know up from down and then turned on you, probably to find someone who “enhanced” his status in the LDS community better. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen it happen in the LDS community, and I was born into the covenant, so it’s been a long time.

    I am praying for you, Jodi–and I”m also praying for the jurors. I’m sure most of the jurors either have been in similar situations or have wives/daughters/sisters who have had a run-in with a “Travis.” Please keep the faith, Jodi, and know that we are not all like those silly talking heads on TV. You are a good person, and I do not believe this jury will find you guilty of first-degree murder. All my best wishes and heartfelt prayers go out to you. May God be with you.

  337. I’m pulling for you Jodi. Keep your head held high. The attorneys and jurors ask why you didn’t go to the police with what happened. What would they have done? Would they have went straight to the police? I doubt it, they would have been scared too. You have my prayers dear.

  338. Dear Jodi
    Oh God Jodi!
    What tragedy and an unnecessary waste of two precious lives! It’s so unfair.
    You and Travis both should have steered clear of each other. How horrible that this
    is all you ultimately had to give to each other.
    So now you’re on trial and the state is out for more blood. One killing is not enough.
    We’ve got to “balance justice” by murdering you. Did you ever hear anything more dumb?
    What good could possibly come from that, except to rob the world of beauty and art?
    You’re relationship with Travis was one of hot passion, stimulation, and excitement.
    It was possibly driven by your artist’s temperament and youthful zeal.
    As a youth, you were on an unending search for the truth. Unfortunately, you switched from one religious and philosopical system to another depending who you
    were involved with. You were everything from a Wiccan to a Latterday Saint. Speaking
    only for myself, I wouldn’t want to be a “latter day” anything. It’s just rearranging the
    window dressing. Don’t put anything on hold. Life is now or never.
    Everything in your relationship with Travis was dragged out, forestalled, and biased on unsustainable “hope.” Hope that he would give up his quest for wealth and riches
    and see you in a different light. That could never happen because you were only viewed as one of his many possessions. A person can do what they want with their “toys.” To him, you were a “living sex toy,” a “three holed wonder.” What you wanted,
    never fit into the equation.
    If you let yourself be treated like an expendable, dirty, dishrag, guess what? You’ll
    be disregarded when the person treating you that way decides he wants “morality” and
    “trades up ” to a brand new “trophy-wife” model. With you, he’s “been there, done
    that.”
    You obviously saw it a different way. You invested your time, body and soul in this
    relationship. He wasn’t going to wash his hands of you. He wasn’t going to say adios
    and good luck.
    You underwent many personal indignities in the relationship. To be cast aside an
    “junked,” wasn’t for you. It was a tragedy on two fronts. Your dependancy on him; And
    his cold treatment of you. But you were to involved to see it. Sometimes, we’re so
    taken up with an issue or a mental state that we can’t look at it objectively.
    They say sex and money are two areas of life that no one can view objectively.
    There was an excellent song written about it some years ago from a woman’s view-
    point. It was called “Insensitive.” I’m reminded, however, of a much older song that was popular during your grandfather’s day. I think that if you and Travis sung this song
    to each other and grasped it’s meaning neither one of you would be where you are
    today. The song paints beautiful strokes with words like you do with your paintbrushes. The name of the song is “I Wish You Love,” by Charles Trenet.
    Goodbye, no use leading with our chins
    This is where our story ends
    Never lovers,ever friends
    Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day
    But before you walk away
    I sincerly want to say

    I wish you bluebirds in the spring
    To give your heart a song to sing
    And then a kiss, but more then this
    I wish you love

    And in July a lemonade
    To cool you in some leafy glade
    I wish you health
    But more then wealth
    I wish you love

    My breaking heart and I agree
    That you and I could never be
    So with my best, my very best I set you free

    I wish you shelter from the storm
    A cozy fire to keep you warm
    But most of all when snowflakes fall
    I wish you love
    Goodbye,

  339. Hi Jodi,cant help but think about you.I dont know if you really get to read these emails,but I would like to say that when you are freed you would be welcome to come stay with me and be apart of my family in Canada.Get away from the hatetred and come and live your life as a beautiful person as you should.I think there are alot of unanswered questions that will probally never get answered as they would hurt the prosecutors case,I dont think this fair to you and I also believe that you could have never inflicted the damage they said you did.I promise to pray for you every night,be well Jodi and stay strong.God bless. Dennis.

  340. Hi Jodi-just wanted to offer my support and best wishes for this all to be behind you with a not-guilty verdict for reason of self-defense. You seem like such a beautiful person inside and out, and I only hope the best for you. When it’s all over, I hope to be able to politely give you a hug of reassurance and support. Stay strong. I’m so sorry that you are going through all of this.

  341. In the trial last week, the prosecutor spent a lot of time trying to prove that Jodi filled up a gas can in addition to putting gas in her automobile. He used her bank statement which did show a third transaction at the gas station where she put gas into her car. That third transaction was in the amount of a little more than $19 and the prosecutor tried to use math to calculate how much gas that amount would purchase and it coincidentlly calculated out to approximately 5 gallons which would have been enough gas to fill that third gas can that didn’t exist. It doesn’t surprise me that Walmart didn’t have any record of a refund-I think that happens often at Walmart especially if the clerk working the return desk is a “new” employee and/or not properly trained on procedures. It is also more likely when there is a line of people waiting to return items–Walmart doesn’t like that to happen because it doesn’t look “good” that so many people are returning items (implication is they might be returning so much because of poor quality)…but I digress.

    Back to the $19 dollar entry on Jodi’s bank statement that the prosecutor is trying to get the jury to “think” that Jodi did fill up a “ghost” gas can. There was no “gas” receipt for the $19 amount so the prosecution is trying to make the leap to infer that it was to purchase gasoline. We have all seen the type gas sation that Jodi stopped at early that morning. It sells gasoline but it also has a market which sells food items, soft drinks, probably beer, snacks, tobacco, etc. So, I think Jodi is forgetting that the $19 expense at that gas station/market was for coffee, chips, sandwich, other snacks!! There was no third gas can–Jodi simply wanted/needed some caffeine and snacks for the road as she drove out of town that morning. Who among us has not frequented such a gas station that also has a market? I hope Jodi will remember what happened that morning and why the $19 entry is showing up on her bank statement. It has nothing to do with the purchase of gasoline as the prosecution is trying to make the jury believe.

    That is my opinion. What do you think?

    PS Stay strong Jodi–you are holding up great!!!

  342. Jodi,

    You are innocent, and self-defense is not and should never be a crime. We believe in you, and please know that there are many people out there who feel for you.

    Stay strong! Let Juan Martinez and Nancy Grace make a fool of themselves.

    • That’s right Jodi We Love You and you are doing an awesome job we believe you and the truth will set you free.

  343. I feel sorry for you. The male species don’t understand what it is like to be looked and treated like a piece of meat, something to play with. Used over and over for sex when you want love, not just sex. I for one see how easily this could happen. My mother always told me ” when you are with a man, you put your life in their hands” and that has rang so true for me in my 50 years. They are the bullies and think they can treat females like prostitutes, like we dont deserve any better. Good Luck and I hope for the best outcome…..

  344. Hi Jodi,
    What you are being put through in the Court System and the “Court Of Public Opinion” is absolutely appaling to me. I commend you for dealing with it all daily in an articulate and professional manner. I certainly could not be as level headed as you have been through an ordeal like this. I do not know what level of media access you have available to you but the fact that idiots like: Nancy Grace, Dr.Drew a host of others like them and all of their so called experts dissecting every aspect of your situation to the negative side is totally disgusting to me. Even worse than what the mass media did to O.J.Simpson. I too was at one time in an abusive relationship and had that one not come to a close before things got really bad I could easily have been driven in to a “Blind Rage” against that person which would have put me in the same situation you are now. The prosecuting attorney, Mr. Martinez is a real jerk. Constantly beating you up on trivial details trying to catch you in some kind of lie that he believes relevant to convicting you. I sincerely hope that at least one member of the jury who is determining your fate will realize that sometimes love, hate and sex can all walk down the same path at the same time. Sometimes everything is great, sometimes good and sometimes not so.good. In an abusive relationship there comes a time when the abused party just cannot deal with it anymore and they snap which is what I believe happened to you. Basically, just get me out of here and away from this person forever. I have had it and cannot deal with it anymore. Maybe your exit strategy was not the best but I do believe it is one that anyone else that has been in an abusive relationship would have also considered. Hopefully, there is at least one person in your jury that can relate to that. In my opinion, you do not deserve the death penalty or even life in prison. I believe you did what you had to do to survive and the extreme nature of your doing so was the result of a “Blind Rage” that totally took over your senses and sensibility at the time. You were placed in a life or death situation where it was either you or him that survived. I doubt that any of the attorneys or jurors have been placed in that type of situation before and could predict how they would respond if faced with it. When one is met with a kill or be killed circumstance your natural survival instincts kick in big time. Which is what I believe happened with you.
    I hope you get this message Jodi. Even though I do not know you I can personallyi identify with what you have done and why you did it, Best Regards and Good Luck, Scott N.

  345. Hi Jodi (from Tucson) … you were wonderful on the stand today. You are so composed and confident; and I don’t know how you are able to keep that composure in the face of Mr Martinez going at you with such vengence. I despise him greatly. I hope for you that this is over soon and you can walk out of the horrible place you have been confined in very soon. Hopefully that beautiful smile and those sparkling eyes of yours will return and your life can move on. If you fancy rides to nowhere in particular with no time restraints or restrictions, let me know and we’ll take off on my Harley and disappear for at least as long as it takes for that wonderful smile to return. Best wishes, stay strong, there are so many folks out here who believe in you and wish you well. Pay no mind to the others. Cole

  346. My heart goes out to you. I know that you regret what happened to Travis, he seemed like a great guy.
    I myself come from an abusive childhood and know that desperate search for love, its overwhelming.
    Your relationship is very typical but if he didn’t want to marry you, I wish you would of left him. I understand what you meant that you “felt like a prostitute” because it seems like he was only using you for sex. That would hurt any women. You must of felt like you had something to prove to Travis that he did need you, but
    I think you forgot about you. You seemed like a person who can do almost anything, but dating a Mormon guy, would be difficult. The culture is very exclusive and not open to sexy women like you were. They seem repressed, especially sexually, your very presents enraged the women, but stirred men. I wish you would of took care of you. I see the stress of all of this in your face. Please turn to GOD and ask him to heal You!

  347. Hello Jodi,

    Your artwork is incredible! I’m interested in having you make me a piece of art and I will be good money for it. I would like you to make me a Pin Up Girl Drawing with a Certificate of Authenticity. Have someone contact me and we can come up with a price. The price of the piece can help you and your family out through this difficult time.

  348. Jodi
    There are so many of us who believe you just hang in there & know we love you!
    Kay M.

  351. Dear Jodi Arias,

    I’m just writing to state that I hope you have a wonderful weekend. 🙂

    I left a donation to your paypal account here on your support site, and I’m hoping that it will serve as a real blessing to you. 🙂 I’m not the richest guy on earth, but I definitely wanted to contribute as much as I could at this moment in time to your support. I do plan and hope to be able to make an even bigger donation in the very near future. 🙂

    As always, I want you to know that I am praying that all of your troubles and woes will be behind you very soon, and that you have a very nice weekend. 🙂

    Sincerely,
    Paul Edward Hieronymus, Jr.
    Mc Kee, Kentucky

  352. Jodi it was so lovely to see you share a brief smile tonight with Nurmi (I’m in London UK so I get the live feed at 5.30pm)
    You must be feeling a bit of relief with the expert witness, I really hope so (((hugs))))

    Always thinking of you, much love and ((((((((hugs)))))))

    Heather xxxx

  353. 1st of all , ty to the designers of this site. Thank God for normal thinking men and women who understand that we all make mistakes throughout our lives, be them intentional or not. TY team Jodi. In my personal opinion, Jodi was living a fairly normal life until that fateful day she was introduced to TA. In one moment in time, she was hurled into a life she knew nothing about and would change her internal outlook upon life forever. I was there once, as I’m sure many of us fellow supporters of Jodi’s have been. One fateful meeting with a man who felt he could * own * a young lady , ( spritually. sexually and totally ) He found a woman who he knew was gullable enough to form into his own idea of what he was * missing* as a so-called Morman hierarchy, ( what he was missing by belonging to a church who wouldn’t let him feed his sexual freedom. I personally feel TA, has done more harm to the Mormon faith than his Bishop would like to admit to! As far as the DA is concerened, he’s doing his job ( as a paid for *expert*) with only one goal in mind.. put a needle in Jodi’s arm , and a notch on his conviction * belt*… These HLN (( paid for *experts* , )) are * in it to win it*, no doubt to regain some face, after looking like morons. IE: casey anthony. These so called arm-chair mouth-breathers are looking for more air time and bigger paychecks! Thats obvious to anyone who can watch them speel their biased bs,, without getting nausous. (( check THEIR proffesion records out sometime)) interesting statistics!! seems funny how they all stated on public televison, * what an attack dog* this DA is…. I honeslty believe, Jodi is giving him nightmares! She’s held up well, for a young lady vs a so-called experianced DA? I fully support Jodi, and have no doubt, she will be found to have NOT premeditated TA’s demise. I do believe she will be found guilty of a lesser sentence , ( unfortunatley 2nd degree is the only other option) however, look at Judge Steven’s eyes….. I see an understanding in her at certain times.. fleeting but still. understanding.. In my opinion, Jodi will do 4-7 more years in jail ( including time served) Be strong Jodi! youhave many friends out here .. God Bless ( + )

  354. I haven’t kept totally up on the trial. I’m a late night TV watcher and have caught bits and pieces through some different shows. What little bit I caught made me really want to say something to someone about this. I’m glad I stumbled across this site on my quest for more information.

    I’m going to approach this from the angle of a Mormon. I’m a member of the Mormon church, and have been for over 20 years. I haven’t been active for a very long time. Both of my kids were raised and baptized in the Mormon church. My ex is also a Mormon, which is how I came to ‘know’ the church. I know that there is a lot of talk about Mormonism and the right versus wrong in the scriptures. I’m not here to get in to that, however. I do believe in some thing, am skeptical about others. But her is something I do know for a fact. Please remember however, these are not facts for all Mormons. There are good and bad people in all walks of life and in all religions.

    While I believe that most Mormon parents have their child’s best interest at heart, I believe that many of them take their roles a little bit too seriously. I believe it’s good to raise a child with strong family values, values of right and wrong, and positive beliefs. However, just as in anything else, sometimes there’s too much of a ‘good’ thing. If it’s taken to an extreme, I’ve seen that some children of Mormon parents feel so restricted that they soon lash out and become defiant. I believe that a child needs to have some leeway to be who he or she truly is. You have to let a child be a child. I’ve seen many instances, within the church, where children have lashed out so violently that they’ve become very mean spirited and done anything and everything that they can to become the exact opposite of how they were raised. I’ve dealt with some very lovely Mormons, but I’ve also dealt with some very mean ones. I won’t go into any details, but all of the incidences I speak of were pretty horrible to me.

    Jodi confessed to the killing, so of that, yes she’s guilty. However, I don’t believe it was pre-meditated or intentional. I honestly feel that she was humiliated to the extent that she just broke and lost her sense of reasoning on this horrible day. I believe that she was treated by Travis in the manner she has spoken about. The fact that she caught him masturbating to pictures of boys is very telling about the fact that Jodi has stated that he preferred sodomy and oral sex as his greatest sexual pleasures. This totally fits a man who is interested in other males. Mormons feel that homosexuality is a very big sin, and I could imagine that Travis was trying to hide this side of himself and pretend he could have a relationship with a woman. He appears to have been a sexual deviant who had absolutely no regard for anyone’s feelings but his own.

    I was raised in an abusive home and therefore had a very low self-esteem growing up. Though I’m much older now and know better, I had sex with all kinds of men and did whatever they asked although I totally HATED it. In my young mind I thought I would be loved if I did this. Little did I realize that I was just lowering myself to their standard and making things worse for myself. I did what was asked, yet secretly shuddered at the thought.

    I believe Jodi when she says that Travis got very angry and violent towards her when she dropped the camera. I believe she was fighting for her life, or felt like she was. I believe she killed Travis in self-defense and then lost it, causing the other injuries found on him. I believe it was a moment of lost sanity induced from the rage of months of humiliation and fear. I hope that the jury sees the same and doesn’t give her the death penalty. More needs to be done to stop people from abusing another one to the point of no return. I think Jodi has suffered enough.

    I’m sorry for the family and friends of Travis. I know they’re grieving over their loss, but I believe if he hadn’t been so horrible to Jodi, he would still be alive.

    • Thank You!!! Praying For Jodi Miracles Do Happen I Believe Jodi Is Going To Receive One!!!!!!

  355. Jodi:
    I have been watching this trial everyday. The more I hear the more I hope and pray that you are found innocent of 1st degree murder because I do not believe you planned any of this. I went through alot of emotional and mental abuse and a little physical abuse at the hands of my ex husband and in another relationship, and I understand not having self esteem and giving your power over to an abuser without even knowing it. Hang in there and stay strong!!!! Juan Martinez is a bully and I admire your ability to stand up to him.

  356. Jodi have no idea why I have followed this trial so much.Wish you the best.Pray for everyone involved.Jesus is LORD

  357. Hi Jodi,thinking about you,cant imagine what you are going through.You are a beautiful angel and would be welcome at my home.Stand tall and believe!!!!!,you will pull through this.I pray for you every night and my thoughts are with you everyday.God bless Jodi.

  358. I’ll be honest: I started watching this trial because everyone around me told me you were guilty and I needed to watch the “show.” After assessing the situation myself, I look at you and see me (we’re even close in age). A lot of these men believe they can do with you what they like (while professing their fake love or making false promises) only to toss you aside once you’ve been used emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.

    I don’t pretend to know what happened that day, but I can see how it all led up to that moment and how any woman would be liable to snap. If more men were shamed by their promiscuous behavior (and women weren’t made to feel as if only we can be seen as “loose”) this wouldn’t be an issue.

    While some talking heads see anger and haughtiness in your tone, I see deep pain, because I’ve felt that pain, that rage towards men who believe they still own women and can do what they please with whomever whenever.

    I hope and pray you aren’t convicted and you receive the love and guidance you never truly had.

    Best wishes.

  359. Watching yesterday’s events, Mr Martinez made a huge effort to convince the jury that Jodi couldn’t have stepped up on one of the shelves to grab the gun because her weight was far beyond the “40 pound rating” of the shelves, and it would have broken. I have looked into similar shelving and have even stepped myself on the edge of similar shelving and there was no issue; some will support up to 200 lbs. I am surprised that the the defense did not object and ask for the foundation of those remarks made by Martinez. It would be simple to conduct a “test” of this; possibly they ran off last night and tried this. We’ll have to see if something is challenged on this. Would be perfect for the defense to introduce fact in the courtroom by conducting a (known in advance outcome) re-enactment of this by Jodi with no damage to the shelf. I think this would be a huge win for the defense. The other “big deal” which is being made is the video being offered by one of TA’s buds, showing him out shooting (very carelessly towards an open dirt road winding over a hill) out in our AZ desert. TA and seems the other person in the vid are firing a “Bushmaster-type” semi-auto rifle. It is foolish, practically stupid of his friend to say that “if TA had a .25 cal gun, he would have brought it out to shoot it”. Seems anyone would have felt completely stupid taking a .25 cal pistol out to the desert to shoot it when there are those types of weapons being fired. No one that I know of practices with a .25. No one will hardly even admit that they own one. Sort of like riding a Vespa to Sturgis for bike week.

    My best to you Jodi. Today, as Heather said above, it was wonderful to see you break into that great smile, if only it was just for an instant. I feel your expert gave your defense a huge boost today; and as I have thought, completely explains your loss of memory over the events of that day. This is what I was hoping for for you; as I am sure you and your entire defense team was. I hope for your continued recovery of that beautiful smile, for much more happier times, for a life free from all of this pain and confines. Stay strong; stay beautiful as you are.

  360. jodi, stay strong and remember people do believe in you i have looked how to write to you a milion times and can’t find out how. don’t listen to all the press and media out there who cares what they say i hope and pray everynight you get out and can live a normal life and if you ever come to california look me up id love to hang with you!!!

  361. dear Jodi,

    I believe you ! I thought the Dr who testified on March 14th really did a great job… He explained exactly what went on. Im sorry the prosecutor is such a prick. I also would encourage you to make an appeal if this goes bad… HLN and their team of narrow minded talking heads are hard to watch but for many of us its the only coverage we can see… I hate Nancy grace and that Velez lady.. even Dr Drew has sold out to the network spin…

    I am a news reporter and watching the HLN version makes me sick… whatever happened to responsible just the facts reporting.. I wish I could tell your story at least it would be fair… again I BELIEVE you hang in there lady.. hang in there.. god knows the truth and the truth will set you free

  362. Jodi
    I do truly believe that you are innocent. I was married for 11 yrs. to a dick. I would say I was mildly abused. I was raised in a family of 6, me being the only girl. So I learned real quick how to defend myself. I do believe the fog/blackouts did occur. Travis may be a dick for the moment but I think that he will always have a special place in your heart. You will always remember the good times you shared together. If the trial goes well and you are a free person, look me up or pop me an email. I live on the East Coast ( PA ). I am willing to give you a place to live for awhile in the country. I am not going to put my address in this email due to my privacy. I am a laid back, quiet person who minds her own business and retired. When and unwanted person steps into my territory, I stand my ground in a legal fashion. In other words, the media will not invade my property without a legal issues up their asses! Jodi I truly do support you and I have faith in you. You Will Win, You Will Get Off, and You Will Walk………………. When that time does arrive contact me.. From a Women that Cares for your Well-Being.

  363. Jodi, you are an extrmemly bright woman. Think about taking the GED exam and starting college if you have not already done so. You would be an excellent voice for abused women and could help young girls in dysfunctional relationships.

  364. Jodi and Team keep on keeping on the media hypocrites make me sick there are good people in the world and you are among them remember that! !!! I wish you strength. peace and wellbeing. I hope people can see you could have been their sister or daughter or mom or grandchild or wife

  365. Dear Jodi,

    I wish you the best, I truly do! I can see the remorse you feel as you testify. It Is a shame you have to endure even more abuse from the prosecutor. In my opinion he should not be allowed to speak to you in the manner which he does. As my husband and I watch your trial we feel he is acting up for the cameras.
    I have never seen a prosecutor act the way he has, I feel it is very unprofessional. Jodi, you have gone through so much and have shown such bravery. I look forward to the day you will be able to focus on healing the wounds and mending your heart! As well put this trial behind you. It’s never easy to deal with ridicule especially if it comes from someone that you once loved very much, Or even still do. I believe that you defend yourself from an abusive man who psychologically and emotionally beat you down and you should not be sentenced to death. I feel for you having to go through all this horrific media circus!
    Peace be with you!

  366. JODI IS AN AWESOME, STRONG, BEAUTIFUL, SMART, BRIGHT, AND INNOCENT WOMAN!
    Jodi, you were totally used by this Travis, and I know you just wanted to make this Travis happy by pleasing him. So many of us women do that for men and we get hurt over and over and over again and all the pain builds up inside of you. And all the pain you held inside of you from your childhood built up inside of you too. You had a battle all on your own and that is you were fighting and fighting to survive in this world and so yes my dear Jodi you have Post Tramic Stress Disorder and probably had it before this Travis came into your life. And I understand that you DON’T remember such a TRAMATIC event. I am so so so sorry that you have to go through this. I don’t wish this to happen to anyone. I pray for you and the jury that they can get in touch with their humanity and see the way all your supporters do.
    YOU WILL FLY OUT FREE AS A BIRD!!!!!!!!!!

    • Beautiful!!!II Believe Jodi Will Be Set Free!!!! Keep Your Faith Jodi We BelieveYou And You Are Very Loved!!!

  367. Jodi,
    You are doing a great job on the stand; If only one juror sees the prosecutor’s ignorance and inability to remember what he says from one minute to the next — all the while accusing you of a memory problem ??? you will be okay. I hope for that because even though Travis’ is gone; it does not negate the fact that he had serious issues when it came to women. I just think of how he played the victim and let his friends think you were a stalker while he knew perfectly well that he was inviting you into his life. You are one of the most articulate and intelligent people I’ve ever listened to. Stay strong — stay positive —

  368. Dear Jodi Arias,

    I was watching the testimony that you gave in court on Wednesday, and it prompted me to want to tell you this story about my time as an LDS member:

    I joined the Church of Latter Day Saints in the late 1990s when I was in college at Eastern Kentucky University because I was trying to impress my very cute next door neighbor that was actively going to their church.

    I had acquired kind of a bad reputation from drinking at the time because I was going through some rough years in the late ’90s since three of the people that had been the four cornerstones of my life from birth until the late ’90s had all passed away within months of each other: my grandmother in 1997, my dad in 1998, and my grandfather in 1999; so, I basically joined the LDS faith to try to polish up my image and in order to impress the young lady I was interested in, and quite possibly not from any true spiritual feelings ( although I did ask them to baptise my father into their faith during one of their baptisms for the dead rituals when one of them asked me if there was anything that the church could do for me. I’ve never been sure that my dad was in a very good place spiritually when he died not that I consider myself to be all that spiritual either but if there was something that the Mormons could have done for me that would have been it — to get my dad to a better place. If such things are possible.)

    I’ve always felt a bit bad about my time with the Mormons over the years

    [ because I don’t enjoy pulling things over on people and that really wasn’t my intent to pull the whole thing over on hundreds of people. I just wanted to get to know that girl better ( I planned to come clean with her about it long before it became something serious or intimate. I’m not a ‘douchebag’); and to try to improve my reputation at the time, and if there really was something to it, to get my father to a better place than I believed he most likely died in ]

    and stopped attending their service only a couple of months after I joined the church; however, the fact that you said “Nobody is a perfect Mormon.” the other day in court really does make me feel better about that time in my life.

    God bless you. 🙂 ,

  369. Hang in there Jodi, You are a beautiful person, I want you to know i have watched your trial from day one, I was in a similar situation a few years ago with someone and was hidden from his friends and other thing like yours makes you feel alone and helpless. There is so much i had in common with you I could go on forever. Wish could talk to you in person. I know they will find you innocent.

  370. Hey Jodi,iust thinking about you.You are a beautiful young woman that deserves being treated with respect.I would be honered and humbled if you were my girl friend.I cant believe the courage you have shown in the past weeks,be proud and hold your head high,I believe that you will soon be free to live your life to the fullest.I pray for you every night and carry my thoughts about you during the day.If you ever come to Canada,I would be honored to meet you,god bless Jodi.

  371. Jodi,

    I’m not sure if you get to read these emails, but I admit I did not hear about this until this year and my father has been watching so when I started I went online and watched everything from the beginning, from the specials on tv, everyday in court up until yesterday. I am usually a pretty good judge of people and I know when this first happened you denied and changed you’re story so people look at that and make judgments. I listened to the phone conversation and that to me does not seem like you are someone who would premeditate hurting someone, let alone someone who you love. No one was there but people are so quick to pass judgments. I have been in a relationship with someone who I loved very much and we had amazing chemistry and connection and you would never know anything was wrong with us because for the most part everything was sweet and loving, but at times there would be fights and they could get intense and although it doesnt make right and I was afraid its almost hard to explain unless someone is in that situation. I truly believe this a crime of passion and everything happened so fast, and what some people fail to understand is that he also had been communicating with you and was intimate with you hours before. I thought you did a good job on the stand…It is truly sad what happened to Travis and the whole situation was tragic. I really hope everything works out for you and you’re family. Good luck Jodi.

  372. Hi Jodi,
    Do you realize how much you are loved by so many people not only here in America but all around the world? We are all here to shine the white light of our Creator on you. Every day when I see you, I ask the angels and Archangels to surround and protect you. You are an amazing strong willed woman, talented, beautiful and a child of God. I made a donation to you and hopefully will make more in the future. I don’t give or tithe to a church. I give to real people like you. Stay strong and remember this: you are already free, all you have to do is take a step, one at a time to get to that freedom. We all love and support you sweet Jodi.

    Love and Light, LM

  373. Please can the real truth be heard!!!!!!!! She might not even used a knife ,maybe there”s ALOT more to this story then u or I will EVER Know…….. I believe u Jody,I believe u suppressed way down deep in your brain that horrable thing that happened on June 4 2008……..Im Praying for u !!!!!! Maybe theres alot more here then we really see or even have a clue about.One thing true it sure is a high profile case.

  374. Jodi, I really love you and I wish I could change things. I know Travis was abusing you and he was not a good Christian. Their is only so much a woman can take. If Travis was a good Christian he would have married you because you had sex together and that would be the right thing to do. You are now a Mormon I read, so pray to Jesus and you will be, if you are not already, “reborn” as the Christians say or “Twiceborn” as the Hindus say but however you phrase it, it means you are now a new person and everything the old person did no longer applies. I wish you well; I just wish I had met you before this all happened, maybe then things would have turned out different. I love you and will pray for you constantly. I hope some day I will meet you and I will treat you how a man should treat a woman, and not abuse you and treat you like you are some toy to be played with and then discarded when the novelty wears off. God bless you and take care.

    Love, Frank

  375. Its me again, Jodi! You have SO MUCH LOVE on this site! I LOVE IT!

    I strongly feel that someone mormon set you up because You didn’t slash his throat, I know that. Whoever did it wanted you to take the blame for all of it.

    I would love to meet you after this is over, my door is open for you any time, day or night.

    You deserve the very BEST of everything and I’m so proud of you. You are still as beautiful as you have always been, how I would love to see you smile again! Lets hope its soon!

    xxxxx always thinking of you ((((((((hugs)))))))) sending you lots of love always.

  376. Jodi/Team Jodi please contact me when the legal proceedings are done and time permits. I’m interested in promoting an indie galley show of Jodi’s art.

  377. 1. As a child, we watched my father my father brutally beat his grilfriend, over and over again. I’m glad she did not shoot him; however, it would not have surprised us at all if she had of snapped and went to work on him.

    The founders of this country put in place a judicial system, a court system, so we would not be like primitive cultures and have mob psychology rounding up people. It would be a system that requres evidence and facts. What a concept uh ?

    The media goups have repackaged this event and do the daily Jodi is guilty promos that look more and more like mob psychology.

    There is a big difference between real news, that meaning, coverage to see where the facts and evidence lead, as opposed to WANTING somone to be found guilty because its good for ratings.

    There is nothing implausible about an individual, any individual, (like my father’s girlfriend), responding in defense, sometimes lethal, when under attack, looks like the media is intentionally ignoring this fact.

    I’m not just concerned about Jodi getting a truly fair trial, away from the mobs ganging up in media rooms, but I am concerned about the future ability of anyone to get a real trial that is truly based on facts and evidence.

  378. Hi Jodi. Don’t listen to those retards from HLN. All they want is high ratings and a big fat check. Keep strong. I feel for you because I believe TA took advance of your unconditional love. He was a hypocrite who used you as his little dirty secret. He had no good intentions for you, no respect. That’s why he flipped when you dropped his $1000 camera. I understand your frustration. I have never been in a similar situation but if I put myself in your shoes; only a person who have suffered much abuse can act this way. You seem to be a nice, smart,, and beautiful girl. So sad men take advantage over and over again of women who all they want is to be loved and please their men. Good luck, and hope you are set free.

  379. Hi Jodi,just thinking about you,you are a very beautiful,intelligent woman that deserves the best,hang in there,I believe in you.I cant even imagine what you are going through.Stand proud and you will be victorious,I pray for you every night and carry my thoughts about you during the day.God bless Jodi.

  380. If your defense do not address the timeline issue right, the outcome will not be fair for you. What can I do to make sure that the defense will get it right?

    I lose my faith in your defense and fear for you after hearing the questions from the jury. Your lawyer said in the opening that the fight was over in about one minute. Now everybody is saying that your version was impossible with the timeline of 62 seconds. The fight should have started soon after the butt photo, not the ceiling photo, so there were 106 seconds. TA did not catch you when you ran to the closet because he cared about his camera, he picked it up and put it on the counter or something else off the floor. The ceiling photo was taken at least 3-4 feet off the floor, after the fight started. The fact, that he cared about the camera during the fight, supported your story that the camera was the cause of the fight.

    I truly believe in your innocence and pray for your freedom soon.

  381. Dear Jodi, fare well innocent one…I believe your life….I truely believe atleast one of the jurors will hold out….you will be free soon….don’t let the media discourage you…they always tell the story the way they think people want to hear it….I wish I had your prison adress…I know what it’s like to receive mail in there….I could cry for you…..you are the sweetest …the most innocent….angelic…..honest person I have seen…hang in there girl….with all my love**********

  382. Hi Jodi,
    I kind of looked over some of the other posts written to you. I’m not writing to tell you how sweet and innocent and angelic you are etc etc. My support is kind of more bleak than that. It comes from an honest intention though. People do bad things, horrible things. But they’re still people, still human. And so, I wanted to tell you that although you did a very bad deed, you are not a monster. You’re still a human being. One who has experienced a nightmare most of us will never have to deal with. No, you are not innocent, but realize that no one else is either. People just take comfort and satisfaction in throwing stones at other people whe seem to have committed autrocities “worse than they have done”. You still have hope and time going for you. And the truth, you need to embrace it, accept it, and realize it’s on your side. That’s your key, My Dear. The Truth will set you free. You hold on, now. And Take Care.

  383. Martinez the prosecutor wants to see Jodi executed. Why is he doing everything he can to get her killed? To advance his career!

    He could have accepted her offer to plead guilty to Murder Two and the matter would have been dealt with at a fraction of the time and expense of the current trial. But no, he needed to make a name for himself.

    Jodi is no threat to the public whatsoever. Whatever happened between Jodi and Travis, it was a private matter. No purpose is served by this trial apart from enhancing Martinez’s ego.

    Those who have killed in self-defense in a moment of panic face severe punishment, while people who kill for the purpose of advancing their careers, with all the power of the state at their disposal, get praised and promoted by the mainstream media!

    What a sick world we live in!

    • You are absolutely correct. He is all about his career advancement and this would be a feather in his cap toward becoming the District Attorney and State Attorney General.

    • I would like to know that as well. I feel like I know Jodi…and her story feels like my life

    • Look up the Maricopa county jail in Phoenix, it is online. They have the requirements for writing, sadly it is only postcards; standard size. You’ll need her booking # which i also found online. Good luck

  384. Hi Jodi,dont know if you ever get to read these,but hang in there girl,I believe in you.You are such a beautiful and intelligant young woman.I hope you are free soon,I cant imagine what life is like for you right now.I pray for you every night and think about you during the day,one day I wish I could meet you.I am appalled at how the media has slanted the truth against you,shame on them.The truth will be known when you are set free.God Speed Jodi. Can you or anyone tell me how I can write to you in jail,I would love to communicate with you,Dennis.

  385. Dearest Jodi,
    I have been watching your trial and I feel such a connection to your story and to you. We have never met, but I feel as though we are so similar-good and bad. If we had met I believe we would have been good friends. I am pulling for you and I would love to talk to you sometime. When this is over I would love to meet you. You are always welcome in my home and you are already in my heart.

    Lindsey

  386. Jodi,
    I survived my ex husband’s brutal attempt to take my life. After choking me and beating me he stabbed me in the neck just below my left ear. It is a miracle that I am alive today. I knew that he was trying to kill me when he was choking me. I know what that feels like and the kind of fear that it causes. I have been watching your trial and am shocked and saddened by the commentators who obviously know NOTHING about Domestic Violence, the Cycle of Abuse and Battered Woman’s syndrome. There is so much work to be done to educate the public. Domestic Violence is one of the worst kept secrets. I hope you will stay strong and continue to fight. Don’t give up. There are many women who understand and are supporting you and who thank you for bringing Battered Woman Syndrome and the resultant Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to the forefront.

  387. Jodi
    I honestly believe your story. I wish I was on the jury cause if I were you would be getting the lest sentance possible. I have been throand ugh many mentally and physically abusive relationships, and have wished I could get out and just couldn’t. its was always something dramatic that ended the relationships. Could have easily been the death of myself or them. I had many breaking points where the thought of killing them came to mind. Your a bright woman I wish I knew personally. Stick to your story. Dont let the prosec worry you. He is nuts…
    Keep your head up and if you needa penpal I feel like I know you. I can understand you and your story makes perfect sence to me. Keep your head up…
    p.s my journal git me in trouble once too 🙁

  388. Dearest Jodi,
    Hey, girl! I hope you are staying strong! The stuff they say about you is junk. I was abused by my mother for ten years. Recently, I have been going to counseling to try to deal with my childhood and the resulting issues in my adult life. I remember thinking numerous times during the abuse that it was so horrific and I would never forget any of it. I can tell you now that looking back, I have been very surprised to realize that I have blocked out much of that time. I can remember several incidents and bits and pieces, but much of that time is gone for me. I looked through all of my childhood photos and have found that there are only a couple photos of me and my mother together from that time (I have thousands of photos). I read all of my journals and found that my mother is NEVER MENTIONED. I wrote positive things about dating and school, and that is about it. I do have memories of dating and school, and I can tell you that they were nothing like I wrote about. I wrote with rose-colored glasses on, and had no idea I was doing so.
    I moved out of my parents’ home at age 17, although I did manage to graduate high school and college. At age 21, I began a five year career as an adult entertainer. I had a very conservative Christian upbringing, so I had to completely disassociate in order to do my job. During those five years, I experienced constant emotional and physical abuse, molestation, and was raped once. These things are the norm in that business, and over the years I was completely numbed to them. I used anger to deal with them instead, because it allowed me to keep from being vulnerable.
    I understand why you appear distant and unemotional about what happened. I have been working hard to be able to feel anything other than anger at those men and at my mother. I’m not there yet. I could look you in the eyes today and tell you the story of my rape, or of being beaten by members of a biker club in the parking lot of the club I was working at (both had many witnesses, none of whom did anything) with no emotion whatsoever.
    I know how it feels to be the only one who knows how truly evil someone is. My mother has the public fooled into believing that she is a good Christian woman who is kind and loves to do things for others. It makes me crazy even to this day to know that very few people see my mother for what she is. To this day she blames the abuse on me, saying something to the effect of, “you were always an angry, evil child. I remember when you were two years old and you were just screaming about something at the top of your lungs and wouldnt stop. You were just filled with rage.” She has gone on to tell me that I was asking for the abuse and it was not only completely justified, but necessary. I know that it isn’t true. How can a two year old deserve beatings? My mother used to hit me while she was driving, without warning or a change of expression. The only warning I had was to see her right hand moving suddenly toward me in my peripheral vision. I would throw my arms up to shield my face and press my body as close to the car door as I could. I still have PTSD from that and other incidents, and to this day I will throw myself against the car door and begin to shake and cry if I see someones right hand moving quickly in the car. People get angry with me because they don’t understand that it has nothing to do with them and that I can’t help doing it.
    I am so sorry for the things that happened to you in your childhood and in your relationships. Please know that you have great value. I care very much for you and am here for you any time. It would be amazing to get the kind of love and support I see for you on this page BEFORE things get to this point. I wish you had had it all along. I have never had the kind of support I needed, and my counselor is the only good support I have now. It would be a lot nicer to have it in friend form, and that is what I wish for you. I would love to be a part of that support in your life, but no matter what, find people who will lift you up and not judge you.
    You ARE a beautiful girl inside and out!

    Lindsey

  389. Hey Jodi,just thinking about you,hang in there girl.You are a beautiful and intelligent woman that does not deserve the degrading you are getting from the public opinion.This trial is a sham and is being guided by the public social out cry and I believe it is not fair at all.Hopefully your defence can see this and use it to your advantage some how against ol Juan.I am praying for you every night and carry my thoughts about you during the day,you will be victorious.God Bless Jodi.

  390. Jodi….
    Sorry to see anyone in a situation as yours….it matters not who it would be and I know that usually there is nobody there to give true support maybe outside of family and true friend. Ive heard a few bits and pieces of your trial on the news but I am one who distrusts what the mainstream media reports on….or should I say what they do report on. Anyway today I actually sat down and for about 3 or more hours watched your trial….with Dr Samuel on the stand. I just want to let you know it matters not to me whether you are guilty or innocent….who am I or anyone else for that matter to judge someone else….judgement is for God and Him alone to judge. Bottom line I want you to know that I do support you and trust only that what you get from the system is fair and impartial as you deserve that and more though I know how we never get what we should ,but one day we will and Jodi for what its worth to you….there is someone who truly and unconditionally loves you and that is God….He cares not what you have done….just ask His forgiveness and believe on Jesus with all your heart and He will be with you always and He is the one person you can always put your love and trust in and He will never let you down. Sure you might be thinking Ive heard that before….but you haven’t heard it from me….I’ve been thru what you are embarking on and then some ….in my sixties now and He is always there for me….try and ask Him, for forgiveness and ask Jesus to take over your life and trust me Jodi you will never regret it…. You will be in my prayers Jodi and please give some thought to what I’ve said…..don’t know what communications are available to you but if any please feel free to write if you wish and I will try to answer any question I am able….though the Lord is sufficient for all of your needs….trust in that.
    May The Lord shine His love on you…..always Frank

  391. Yesterday i was reading John 8:1-11. I picture Jesus writing on the ground with his finger, absentminded to those accusing the woman brought to him because she had been caught in the act of adultery.

    Pay attention to Jesus Christ’s peace of mind and sense of humor, even in moments that for others may be of great stress. In the present day this is a practical lesson for all of us.

    The silent and funny escape of the accusers, reminds us that God is the only one who can judge us and that we are all sinners. In our daily life, in our work, in our family or friendly relations, we often make judgements. Our judgement can be wrong.

    Let us be filled with joy knowing for sure God forgives us everything, absolutely everything we ever did, are doing, or will do, through repentance. We saw that Jesus told the accusers that whoever had no sin to throw the first stone. Did he violate the law, no he put mercy above the law.

    I have followed your case for a while and as a Paramedic I have seen what abusive relations, whether physical or emotional, can do to a person. The physical pain, the emotional pain , the psychological storms, the loss of hope, the loss of control, the lose of oneself. I have seen the actions and the lack of inaction.

    You are a beautiful and smart woman. Do not let the evil that is abuse conquer you. Believe in yourself no matter what happens. Believe in the mercy that God gives us everyday. He pursues us everyday with his love and mercy and grace. Let Him catch you.

    There are many people who support you, always remember that.

    I think about you everyday and pray that God keeps you safe and comforts you. Keep strong and always be proud of who you are, no matter who says differently.

    Paul

  392. Jodi,

    I am so intrigued by you. I feel like I understand where you are coming from. So many people are against you, but so many people have closed minds and are extremely quick to judge. I wish they could all spend one day experiencing the thoughts and pain you were going through at that time; then maybe they would understand. I wish I could find your prison address, I would really like to write to you. I feel like you and I have a lot in common. You are beautiful and smart and you deserve so much from life. I hope you are set free.

    Much love,
    Emilie

  393. Frustrating and upsetting to see this Juan Martinez character push for an answer. First, He wants Dr. Samuel to answer in a way that misleads the jury and then Martinez talks about ethics. Since the Dr. is not falling for it, he is getting upset saying there is more going on. We are smarterr than that. Second, what is with this “isn’t it true” Why doesn’t the defense say something about this phrase and request that this bully asks the questions without giving the answer. I too get upset when someone yells at me, furthermore I shut down and even start getting sleepy. Jodi did great in front of this bully.

  394. Jodi….
    Sending love and support. my arms are around you. Please tell me why Nurmi wanted to vacate the trial?

  395. Hi Jodie:

    I think the way that you and your circumstances are being treated is appalling. The prosecutor is not treating you with respect and is making you out to be, well you know.

    I think that you have handled yourself perfectly. I don’t think that I could have kept my cool as you
    did when the prosecutor kept attacking you. I found your “little comments” to him were well deserved on his part.

    Jodie, I don’t know if you can see……..but the jurors are again, putting alot of questions into their little box.
    That makes me think that there is alot of hesitation on their part and that the prosecution has not proven
    their case to “beyond a shadow of a doubt”.

    Again, my prayers are with you. If you have access to a computer, please email me any time. The more friends that you have now, the better.

    Cariing from Canada,

    Dale

  396. the media turns everything into a biased opinion…guilty until proven innocent. what a backwards society.

    • They made a site in our honor? cool! Free publicity. Ironic they quote jefferson who also said, “The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.” I wonder what Jefferson would think of HLN?

  397. Cause I will get spammed on Facebook. I am using an alias

    Please have them look at the physical evidence.. there is just simply not enough evidence of blood in the bedroom.. Please please for the love of God, make sure they tell them even if they don’t believe all the other crap.. look at the crime scene.. it fits.

    After the Gun shot Travis goes to the counter as he stands up.. coughs over the sink and grabs a knife and goes for Jodi.. she gets it from him because he is unstable.. and they fight in the hallway. first with him facing her.. I saw the blood dripping down the walls in the hall with the phenylalanine and if that is true.. then the chest wound happened there while he was standing.. !! probably facing Jodi.

    There is just not enough blood evidence in the bathroom.. please have them watch that stupid hln re-enactment.. where the blond chick talks about the blood splatter on the wall near the shower . The shell is easily explained as we know things moved around .. in the bathroom.. they had to or Jodi could not have gotten Travis into the Shower.

  398. I can’t stand HLN.. they sit there and allow people to say Jodi has no soul, even after the Dr said that she has Flat Affect.

    There is no objectivity, and I hope that if she is found Not Guilty of Murder, that Jodi sues them for defamation.

  399. I was completely disgusted by that misogynist blow hard Dr. Drew last night. He and his gang of “experts” spent nearly an hour makng fun of Jodi for wearing green a day after St. Patrick’s Day and putting stupid pop-up comments over her head. This is horrible, juvneile behavior. First of all, “Dr.” Drew, are you really an internist, or are you a sex therapist, or do you run a celebrity rehab where your graduates and “succes stories” like Mindy McCreedy kill themselves? What is your “expertise” de jour? To make fun of this tragedy is sick. Next, Jodi Arias is in jail; I’m sure she wears what her family brings to her; she can’t just run out and get the latest fashions. She isn’t even allowed the “privilege” of eating lunch. If she were a male on trial for his life, I’m sure no one would comment on attire. Funny nobody comments on Juan Martinez’s cheap suits or schreeching pendantry with which he browbeats every witness. I think that Jodi and her family and Travis’ family deserve respect and compassion. Jodi deserves a fair trial; it is guaranteed to her and to all Americans by our Constitution. Shame on you Drew Pinsky or Pinhead or whatever your name is; you are a ratings-hungry disgrace to journalism and medicine!

  400. I also noticed this about the Police investigation with Flores.

    Jodi is UNABLE to describe the knife wounds.. and injuries.. she mentions a gun, she has no memory to make a lie up from. .its amazing since we consider the evidence of amnesia.. if she knew what happened, she’d be able to describe the wounds the ninja’s did against Travis,, but she is unable to.. She makes up a story, but it is missing all the the part of the amnesia..and the detective keeps trying to get her to tell him the details. and she can’t.

    That is indicative that even in her lie, she couldn’t remember enough to make a good lie up

    • I went back and looked at the transcript for 48 hours and she is never able to describe any knife wounds or how they took place.. ) same in all the stories.. even the one she is telling now that she is telling the truth.

      • Drew isn’t even a psychologist, or a psychiatrist., he is a drug counsellor, and an internal medicine dr.. mostly a whore for tv reality hype.. this is disgusting.

          • Dr. Drew used to host some vulgar late night radio show called “Loveline” and give his opinions of acceptance regarding disgusting sexual behavior; no wonder why he has no sympathy for the horrors Ms. Arias had to endure due to emotional/sexual/physical abuse. Yet again, Jodi is being exploited by a man with ulterior motives.

            People seem to have issue with Jodis credibility however fail to bring up a) Travis LIED to (what he believed to be) GOD by manipulating Jodi into sexual behavior he promised GOD he would not participate in until after marriage – while enticing another believer to engage with him in his perversions and b) so elaborately LIED to Jodi that she believed he loved her while being her sole representation of her new found religious belief. He messed with her mind in so many ways.

            Jodi the only thing I DO NOT believe about your testimony is that you killed him at all. I think sadly you are the “fall woman” for something much more sinister that you had nothing to do with. I can’t believe even you own parents have come out with cruel things to say about you. It seems like everyone is looking out for their own best interest at your expense.

            My heart goes out to you Jodi. It’s not fair.

            • Exactly… Jodi lied because she HAD to. And Jodi still lies because of this sinister murder. She didn’t do it. Jodi is innocent.

  401. Hi Jodi, keeping in my prayers. Just to let you know that there are many of us who believe your story. We are decent law abiding citizens who are not falling for the media outlast on their ridiculous accusations and their payoff so called “experts” from that ridiculous HLN tabloid cable channel. God bless you, and believe in yourself.

  402. I was beat for 23 years & actually told a judge next time i will kill him. i never had the guts. but did escape 7 yrs ago. got with another piece of shit, i think he got scared b/c he ran for the hills a year ago..ha.
    Cant beleive those self righteous ppl beleive the medias bs, which is pissing me off.
    I got ur back as well as alot here. we love you jodi. Ive been crying for 5 hrs from all the hate mail Ive got on fb showing my support, apparently they cant handle the real truth ! jodi is innocent !
    Love ya Jodi!
    kay m
    oh yeah btw – Im mormon.

  403. Hi Jodi, I am sad for you and all who are involved. I can’t believe the hate fest, and circus that is being made of your situation. I dated a guy much like Travis and I totally understand the addiction and need to keep going back….maybe this time he will love me. I feel so sad that this turned out so badly for you. You are beautiful and talented, and I pray that some on the jury will feel empathy in their heart for you. I am appalled at the hate directed toward you, it sickens me. But who can be surprised when like the young girl in Ohio, whom was raped and then exploited, the media, including women in the media, talk about the poor poor young boys…they were promising your students and athletes. Nothing about the your girls life that is ruined.

    I hope you can stay strong and know that in the sea of hate there are folks that care and feel for you.

    Kat

  404. Jodi,
    I must admit, I was skeptical, and even though I have to weed through the case on tv and its bias against you, I see someone truly hurt and I can say that I get it. I understand your emtotion, and what happened. I will pray for you and I hope that despite how all this turns out, you keep your faith!

  405. I watched and i still watch and didnt know what to believe but the woman is obviously hurt, shes isnt all there. I get the whole case and she isnt innocent b/c she obviously admitted to the crime but in self defense. Overall i think having death penalty as a possibility is completely ludacris. Jodi not everyone is against u!! keep your head up for the best outcome. My prayers are with you.

  406. Your a beautiful girl Jodi! Keep your head up. You are innocent and justice will soon be served to whoever did this. When you get out your going to live a good life and don’t let anyone bring you down! Id wait for you outside of the prison gates and give you a BIG hug but I don’t really know you!:c

  407. Praying Jodi that the Lord will place a peace that surpasses all understanding upon your heart and you will know He will not leave you or forsake you……ever! No matter what things look like or sound like hold onto hope and don’t ever give up. Man sees the outside and can twist it whatever way he wants but God knows all truth, sees all truth and He knows your heart dear girl. Praying for you to stay strong and keeping your defense team in my prayers as well. Through the Cross comes grace…….and thats why He came…..and you are covered by the grace and loved!

  408. Hi Jodi,Cant tell you how much my heart goes out to you,you are an incredable young woman and I believe in you,Hang in there girl,I pray for you every night and carry my thoughts about you during the day,god bless Jodi

  409. I’m so sick of seeing Travis’s friends on Nancy Grace talking about what a great guy Travis was and paint him out to be this holier than thou saint. That dirt bag was a sexual deviant! Travis’s friends talk about the “lies” Jodi tells about him, saying shes trying to slander him…no one needs to slander the scum bag, we all heard him say with his own mouth how he had sexual fantasies about 12 year old girls! After that comment alone, he deserves what he got…not to mention the nerve of Travis to act like he can fool an all-knowing God by lying to Jodi and telling her anal and oral sex are not sins. Believe me, Travis is in hell paying the penalty for his sexual perversions. Hey Alexander family and friends, quit acting like Travis was a good guy, he was a disgusting wicked sodomite who had perverse fantasies about little underage girls. He got exactly what he deserved! Stay strong Jodi, don’t let the hypocritical idiots get you down!

  410. Something to ponder . PTSD effects different people different ways. As in this case, one single clap of hands, something drop having a dull but loud rap, vehicle backfire and things of this sort do some times trigger familiarity with the sound that caused origination of the PTSD. Simple analagy would be “shell shock” and “gun shy pups”. Sounds, sights, objects and key words stop our heart rate out of rhythm because we associate the stressor with the “boogie man”, it scares us, causes anxiety and panic, we don’t think straight. Some people don’t even understand stress. Stress alone kills us. “scared to death” isn’t made up, it’s very real, like cancer only it starts in emotions in the brain then slowly destroys the body by attacking usually the heart first, pancreas, thyroid, nervous system, causes ulcers, etc, Once we realize it’s very real, doesn’t make it go away, it never goes away, it does damage permanently or leave residuals even if we get our emotions under control.Some are geared to handle stress some are not, even with animals. Since our senses are on all the time, we get calloused or hollowed in order to survive and cope, detached might be the clinical term rendering us emotionally stagnant. As of late, some things have become so evident especially with all the political parties, HLN and this prosecutor . . the people with the most heart seem to be affected and good candidates for PTSD but the vic of PTSD . .stop causing harm and suffer in arrested mental states, whereas the unconscionable have chemical immunities from PTSD. . they get a “charge” from the adrenalin then thrive to cause more harm.. it’s evil. TA was an amoral emotional and energy sucking vamp. Rep for PLP could qualify as a thief also. The video clip they show of him telling the gun to his head is so obviously bs. Women as shallow as he, left him., It wasn’t because the women were wise or they would have turned him out for what he was, boyish egotist, not attractive but “cute”. His bevvy moved on to men that could do things for them. Actually TA did not like women, he objectified them. He toyed with passion and as absurd as it sounds, emotional innocence. On the other hand, being in awe of a “bad boy” has it’s price. He did terrorize, had been for quite a while. It just all came to an abrupt halt for the last time. It is unfortunate but this is an example. If one strikes another, they will do it again. Choices are vacate or leave a mark, one has a consequence the other doesn’t. The last visit with each other should have been months before it came to this, another lesson, love does not conquer all especially when one sided. Fear and being attacked/bullied did cause this defense and should those embedded thoughts of the event make a break through . . severe emotional trauma could be devastating. Being numb isn’t a bad thing sometimes. As far as HLNs NG and JVM, well JM is a professed recovering addict which alot of addicts have compulsive behaviors, they trade off one thing for another and yakking is her new compulsion .. both must have stock in botox, Drew is a sellout, he must be getting ready to retire so building the bank, Martinez’s heart attack is in the making, the rest are wannabes and all of them are on self induced hype drunk who utilize 1st amendment when queried about their tactics. Good for them to utilize 1st but hack up the 6th Amendment rights of others. Jodi delirium was life in motion and is more real despite the slurs than their real.If I was a juror, it’s obvious where I stand but also have concerns about well-being upon the walk. Hopefully this case will get closer to making sense and stop being bizaar.. The jurors are setting adrift. A few key phrases need to be instilled as indelible in their minds and the rash arguments have lost concept, which is good for the defense. Nurmi is cool and Jenn is top shelf. Much luck to all.

  411. Hi Jodi,

    I actually looked up the jail your in and how to contact you there i.e. requirements (your booking number) so I could. They’ll only allow me to send a post card. I’m not sure if you get all the posts here or not but I wanted to post anyway.

    This is the first trial I have ever watched. When I saw Nancy Grace one day I couldn’t believe the evil spewing from her mouth so much so I went and looked up the trial to see for myself. I was hooked!!! I began watching in the middle of your testimony and worked my way back to the point I started and am now watching as it continues.

    I can soooo relate to the confusion/mistrust you suffered. The checking cell records, texts and emails. Like you I was in a relationship where honesty and loyalty were based in the others perception of what that means, not reality. In order to protect myself I felt I deserved the truth even if it meant breaking his privacy to do so and then was honest I had with him. It was how I put his lies out there so he knew I knew the truth. In relationship privacy is only an issue if there isn’t truth and honesty, in my experience. I became a person I had never been and didn’t like i.e. distrusting, suspicious, and very hurt. It wasn’t as easy as just ending it either. Every time I tried he would pursue me via text and phone until I’d cave again because I WAS INVESTED. We did have a child together which makes it much more difficult as I so wanted to give my son a family so I hung on way to long. Finally last year after verbal threats I filed for a custody agreement and child support and have continued to distance myself from him. He hasn’t stopped. His pursuit has intensified if nothing else. Like you, all he cared about was the sex, my feelings were unimportant to him, I had to make myself and my feelings a priority to me. Like you he drove the adventures way beyond my comfort zone but because I wanted him to love me I kept going with it hoping he’d love me if I gave him what he wanted and marry me. Little did I realize, and I am guessing you were the same, he wouldn’t ever love me. It is the result of my own childhood trauma, being reenacted by me alone. Continuing to allow men to abuse me all for the sake of being loved. I have learned and grown because of my situation. Watching your trial has made me even more serious about not allowing him to manipulate me into the same patterns of unhealthy relation with him. The support of friends and family and a good therapist have been crucial. I believe everything is for a reason, and the fact that I just happened to tune in to your trial,well it means a lot! There is definitely something here for me to see in order to protect myself in my current situation with my son’s father. Now when he gets volatile, flipping from being nice to get what he wants to mean because he doesn’t, I get anxiety knowing this could go really wrong if I’m not extremely careful. I feel like I’m treading on thin ice most of the time with him. It is so hard.
    You have my sympathy. Only those who have been stuck in this kind of situation really understand and I’m praying that there are women on your jury who do!!! The prosecution has not proven premeditated anything! I hope you are acquitted Jodi I really do. Their whole case seems circumstantial.

    Faith, Hope, and Love to you,
    Rose

  412. Hello to all!! I just wanted to say that Ms. Arias is lucky to have all the support that she does, in all of you. Like everyone here I have been following the trial and to be honest, I can’t say I had heard much about the case before the trial began. No, I haven’t been living under a rock…just in Moscow, Russia. That being said, I simply cannot believe what I am seeing! At first I thought the prosector was going for an Oscar and he had my vote until I understood that sadly this is the only range he has and he would never be able to do Shakespear. I mean seriously, could you imagine such an angry Romeo? Juliette: Romeo, Romeo. Where for art thou Romeo? Romeo: I ask the questions here Ma’am. It just doesn’t work for me. I dunno. Something is off… All kidding aside, I don’t blame him for this and I am not here to bash or anyone else for that matter. Simply put look at the type of person he has to fight for. I have no sympathy for anyone who would abuse and use another person in such a vulnerable position as Ms. Arias was. It sickens me and I will admit that I was on the fence until I heard the words from his own mouth. Sex talk is sex talk but waking a person up with sex is RAPE!! Only a person with little respect for another would attempt something like this. I do, however, feel for the family of Mr. Alexander. I can’t help but think that they are finding this all out for the first time. They are still in the denial stage. I hope that in time they are blessed with the understanding that sometimes are loved ones are not always who they appear to be. Anyway folks sorry to cut this short and leave my thoughts somewhat incomplete but I will be back and keep up the support that makes this a community and keep up with the interesting posts. I do find them quite educational at times 🙂

  413. Hi Jodi,
    I have to admit when I first heard about you, I was not on your side. After reading, watching, listening, and using my own mind, I have to say that I believe you were targeted by a very seriously twisted, and evil network of people. The details of the murder smack of ritual killing. Humans have been doing this for thousands of years. Are we that naive to think it doesn’t happen anymore in this world? I believe that either you were in some kind of altered state, or there really were 2 intruders. I think you have been prepped for this since you were a child, not sure if you know what I mean. I also believe Travis was targeted as a young child as well. When I was very young, I have memory of 2 unusual situations that lead me to believe there are people orchestrating events such as school shootings, theatrical murder trials, etc. etc. to sway and brainwash the public into unknowingly submitting to their agenda. Before I connected the dots, I was very confused by the details of the trial, but now that I’m informed, it all makes a lot more sense to me. When I saw your face, I did not see an evil person. I saw a tired, scared, manipulated person. It takes one to know one…………….

    • Marie, you and I are in the same boat.
      With that said… you know NO ONE will be willing to take them on, not her lawyer, not the judge…no one. I’m nervous I’m going to end up on the news for something I had nothing to do with either, you know how they work. It’s so much bigger than people could understand, unless you understand.
      Bless you Marie and <3 to Jodi

  414. Hi Jodi,

    I’m praying for you! I have compassion toward you. I can totally relate to being with a man that is arrogant, perserve, controlling, unfaithful, plays mind games, and is mentally abusive.

    Mistakes happen in all our lives.God forgives us all and wants us to forgive others. Jesus took our place in jail and barabas was set free. Barabas represent mankind us be set free. Jesus took our place. We all fall short of God’s glory. Jesus loves you Jodi and he forgives you. I pray you find peace with God. Jesus is with you in prision you are not alone. Jesus has been to prison to & trial.

    Not everyone is against you Jodi.

    I just wanted to let you know that I have compassion toward you. Things have happened in my own life that changed my life. Draw close to God and he will draw close to you. Jesus loves you Jodi. You are in my prayers! I hope this message reaches you. i just wanted to send you some encouraement. Get into the Word of God. It will strengthen you and help you through hard times. God’s word is the rock.

    Sincerely,

    Rae

  415. Jodi,

    Has anyone looked into the possibility that someone else did the killing? I have had this gut feelin since almost the first day that you may have been set up. After you confessed I never mentioned anything but now this guy here in Nebraska has possibly detected two other people in the reflection of Travis’s eyes while he was standing in the shower. Did he have any enemies? Have the police spoken or checked out anyone else? I’m thinking you had a gun for protection if Travis tried to harm you and that it may or may not have discharged but that two other people showed up during this altercation and possibily knocked you out and proceeded to stab Travis. It would be a horrible tragedy if someone was setting you up and walked free while you went to prison. If you truly can’t remember what happened during the stabbing, is it possible you didn’t stab him at all? How solid are the friend’s and roommates alibi’s? I can see a great potential for jealousy of Travis with all his accomplishments and material wealth. Please have someone check this out.

  416. Hi Jodi.have been thinking about you,I am a believer in you Jodi,my heart goes out to you,I have found out how to write you and will being sending you a post card as per the rules,thats too bad you cant get letters.You are a beautiful and intelligent young woman and you will prevail,I pray for you every night,god speed Jodi.

  417. Dear Jodie I feel very sorry that you are in this situation…I feel like you were used and abused by Travis.The thing is you are so beautiful and I believe you are really SMART you could have done much better than him. I think he was a user of women.I didn’t like his looks or his friends as soon as I saw them on the talk shows . I think they are being unfair to you on these talk shows.I hope you get out of this and have a good life.I believe he drained you of your self respect. I hope you stay in touch with Darrel he really loved you….Stay away from the mormans they seem a little strange.I really hated that he had you cleaning his house I know that had to make you feel small you should have smacked his face and went on to college and waited on a relationship til you figured out what you wanted in life… I hope you get another chance.I am in my 60s believe me take your time.

  418. I have been following your trial, as have many. I know you killed this guy. At first I just brushed it off, but as I watched the testimony unfold I saw things. I do believe he abused you. I do believe that you are a submissive woman who thought if she did what he asked everything would be ok. I do not believe he was an angel. His Mormon faith, and the look on his face tell the story. We have a saying down here in Texas. Maybe you were the one he should have left alone. I know you are going through a lot right now, but I see a strength in you. I don’t like that prosecutor. I think he is a smart mouth. I wish I’d been that doctor on the stand. I would have disassembled that idiot so fast it would make your head spin. The fact is simple. A woman, treated lovingly, would never have done what you were compelled to do. I hope you are free some day. Hang tough, kid. I’m with you!

  419. Only you know what happened that day, but no matter what, you don’t deserve to be portrayed in such an awful way. It makes me sick listening to the media discuss your case as though a verdict has already been reached. I respect the American judicial system and believe you are innocent until proven guilty. When I look at you and hear your gentle journal entries and listen to your story, I just know that you aren’t what they are making you out to be. I just want to give you a hug. STAY STRONG, JODI!!!

  420. This is my first time posting on the website…. I just felt like I needed to reach out with support because there is so much misguided hate towards Ms. Arias. Yesterday, I was unbelievably happy to hear one of the juror’s questions, and the reaction on Ms. Arias’s face made me want to hug her and tell her, ‘Someone has your back.” They asked, If someone has been abused and they store up their anger, could it all be released at once and result in something like this… and the Psychologist said, Yes absolutely. Someone on the jury believes you, Jodi. We believe you also. We have not all been tricked by the one-sided media coverage; some of us can see through the media hype and stick to the facts, which tell us that TA was not a very good person and certainly not a good boyfriend. I am so happy that there is someone on the jury who seems to see this, also, and by the tone of their question, it seemed like they were trying to make a point. Stay strong, Jodi…

  421. The coverage of this trial by HLN disgusts and makes me sick on my stomach. The only ones not biased are the experts for the defense, and they are few. This is done to dramatize and boost their ratings and their paychecks, with little regard for human life. But, after this is over it could mean a nosedive in their ratings because their prosecution ‘experts’ and commentors have lost their respect and credibility. I see no professionalism, for which I have respect. HERE’S MY POINT. I have listened to the recording, read the texts, and watched the testimony and it is obvious that Jodi was in love with Travis. It’s also very evident that during their relationship that he used her and abused her. He manipulated her feelings and vulnerability to get what he wanted. I am 51 years old and have two beautiful daughters and a hansome son. One of my daughters is a little younger than Jodi and if someone called one of mine “a three hole wonder” , that would demonstrate to me that this guy has absolutely no respect for her whatsoever. That comment alone is verbal and most definitely a sign of emotional abuse. It’s is a HUGE red flag. The defense should bring this up again. This guy didn’t deserve this girl. In the end she defended herself, therefore, Jodi should be aquitted.

  422. Cut her loose. You can’t prove it wasn’t self defense…period. The prosecuter is an ass and most of the tv stations tell lies to get more ratings. Travis was weird..plain and simple. I am sorry for his death, but just because he is dead doesn’t make him innocent. I hope the jury can see through all the crap the prosecution is slinging their way. I am sickened by the lack of respect shown to the Psychologist. He is a professional and should be treated as such. There is no need to belittle him.. That alone would make ME cut her loose.

    • Agree. You read my thoughts, and that is exactly how I feel Mary. This is ridiculous that the prosecutors want us to believe she attacked him with a knife first . AAJM disrespect of the witness, Dr. Sammuels, and the implying that he lilted Jodi WAS SICK. It made me dislike him even more that he chose to approach and attack the psychologist in this manner. We could have save millions of tax payers money if not because of greety JUAN MARTINEZ. This is not a premeditated murder. it’s a self-defense crime of passion. She lost it once he attacked. All that abuse, and belittle of her persona by TA blew out at the moment. No wonder she can’t remember. It wasn’t planned.

  423. I’m sorry that my donation wasn’t as large this time as it was last time Jodi. I’ll try to do better in the very near future. As I said in the note I asked to be given to you I hope and pray that you are free very soon because you are far too beautiful on the inside and on the outside to be the victim of any of the punishments that anyone wants to give you.

    Love,
    Ed Hieronymus
    McKee, Kentucky

  424. Always in our prayers Jodi!! You Are So Strong and So Beautiful I am A Mom of three beautiful grown children 26,23,and 20 two sons and a daughter. I love them with every part of my being. I look at you sitting there everyday .I can’t imagine my daughter sitting there like you are. It makes me so sad I just want to rescue you. You have been through enough!! I pray you will be set free very soon .You deserve to live your life free and safe and happy and loved after all isn’t that all you ever wanted all along. Hold on and stay strong it’s all going to be ok . Love you Jodi!!!!!

  425. Outside of the Christmas & Easter stories my favorite biblical passge, without question, is Philippians 4:13. I hope that reminding you of this passage allows you to find a moment a comfort and strength. Remember- “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. Millions upon millions upon millions love, care, pray, think and support you Jodi… I am but just one. Without question you are a beautiful and amazingly strong young woman; I wouldn’t have been able to endure what you have. God bless you Jodi- He loves you- we do too!!

  426. Hello Jodi, This is David from Fontana, CA., the sender of Seabiscuit post cards! Just dropping you a line to let you know I sent you another post card a few days ago; hopefully you’ve received it by now. As I mentioned, I’m with you in spirit since I’m unable to be by your side.

    Yours,

    David

  427. I am glad I found this sight. I have been so aggravated at what is being said about Jodie.

    In response to Jodie being near-sighted:

    When Jane Velez-Mitchell was on the subject of Jodie Aries being nearsighted I got really irritated and this is why. Jane says she is nearsighted and she has to wear her glasses driving. REALLY.
    I am nearsighted and wear glasses. I NEVER leave my glasses on when I am having a picture taken. So Jodie takes her glasses off when she has her picture taken. Big Deal!!!! In addition to that, when I look at something close up, I take my glass off. Also, I need glasses for driving; however, I have driven without my glasses. Not that that is the best choice. Nonetheless, I can see to drive. So I believe that Jodie could drive her car without her glasses. Give her some slack in some areas.

    Also, Jodie, I do understand the hold that some men have over women. I have the same thoughts on this as another lady had that wrote to you. This is what she wrote: I am 69 and can so well remember my days of “looking for Prince Charming”. Behind closed doors, a man can be so different. My heart fell for a few guys and I can relate to how feminine and pleasing you wanted to be. I wish I could have been your mentor as you were going thru your love with Travis. I agree with her. I am her age and in thoughts about pervious relationship. I hate that you were caught up in that kind of relationship with Travis. It brought back some of my own memories: that I called your attorney’s office. I wanted your attorney to know that yes: women do get involved in these kinds of relationships. I hated the way the prosecutor was attacking you. Martinez does not live in the real world when it comes to female/male relationships.

    Nancy

  428. I think the amount of slut shaming that is happening on HLN and other sources is a little more than ridiculous. It just seems so inappropriate. I am also sickened by this death penalty nonsense, essentially showing people that killing a person is wrong by killing a person. I sincerely hope your family makes it through this trial okay.

  429. I have been through a horrible relationship when I was younger as as a teen he beat me, raped me, pulled guns on me and constantly threatened my life I used to think that one day he was going to kill me eventually and would even think of how I would defend myself to stay alive. I been watching you Jodi and say prayers for you because that could of been me but I reached out for help and eventually after years got away from my abuser and we both made it okay. I pray for you all the time we know you did it, but I understand what could cause someone to get to that point. My mom said who could be in their right mind and remember all what happened and I agree.I will be silently crossing my fingers and praying for you that you are able to manage some kind of life out of this someday.

  430. Jodi, you are amazing. you were excellent on the stand. I am proud of you keeping your cool with JM and treating the jurors questions with such respect. keep it up, they watch your every move, a finger twitch and it’s on the news.

  431. Jodi

    I suport you .. and nancy grace and HLN are scumbags. I’ve been wattching the whole trial and I hate juan marttinez . Tthey judge you and itts an unfair trial.
    I love you jodi ann arias.

    Does any one haVe jodis adres and id to send letter

  432. Hi Jodi,
    I won’t pretend to have the faintest idea of what you’re going through. I can’t imagine it. But please know that I stand with you in spirit and I have your back everywhere else. If I’m on the jury you walk. There are too many things about this case that make no sense. There is reasonable doubt all over the place.
    You’re beautiful. You’re talented. You have a lovely voice and you do have supporters out here. I’m from Pittsburgh and have a 24 y/o daughter named Jodi that means the world to me. I’m sending you a virtual hug and telling you to hang in there girl! You’re doing great! 🙂

  433. Hello Jodi; you looked really great today. What a beautiful person you seem to be. Wonderful to see you chatting with your attorney and occassionally smiling, even if for just an instant. You seem more relaxed, and at ease. It must be difficult to sit there with your every movement recorded and broadcast for television. You are maintaining wonderfully though! I wonder every day what it must be like for you, once the court is adjourned, and you walk back through the door in the courtroom and disappear. Do you get to consult with your attorneys later on in the evening? Hopefully there are some support folks for you where ever you are taken; to at least be able to talk and share what you are feeling. I think the doctor did a very good job for your defense. I can see some of the jurors understanding your situation with his explanations to their questions. Martinez is a small disgusting man obviously suffering from a lack of media attention; most likely any attention at all. My prayers are with you as well as my good thoughts for your quick release so you can get back to some kind of normalcy. Stay strong Jodi Arias. ….Cole

  434. Dear Jodi/ and Team Jodi,

    I have been watching your trail and I am so annoyed by how everyone is making Travis look like this great guy:: I’ve had my suspicions all along but today when I went to Travis Alexanders Myspace page I am now convinced he probably had something called Narissistic Personality Disorder and if your defense team has not brought that into the case already to help build your case they should. Google it there is tons of info out there on NPD.. specifically read the book called “Narcissicism Revisited” by Dr. Sam Valkin.. The reasons I believe Travis has NPD are outlined here below in a letter I just sent off to Dr Drew Pinsky.. I have been annoyed by how he too is making Jodi look like she is totally to blame. I hope someone important in the trail reads this. Because I totally believe a claim that Travis has Narcissistic Personality Disorder can help your case. Here is my note to Dr Drew:

    Good Luck Jody, I do not believe you deserve the death penalty.

    Cheers,
    Cyndi Pariseau

    3/25/2013

    “Dear Dr Drew,

    I’m guessing you may never read this and I most likely will never get an answer from you. I would like to mention a few things. I have always been a huge fan of yours however I am very disappointed in some of the conclusions you have come up with in regards to the Jodi Arias trail. Of course I believe she is guilty however I totally do not think she planned to kill Travis I believe he drove her to it.

    Before I get into my reasons why I think this. First consider these things: There is no way someone who was planning to kill a person would have been as sloppy as Jodi was. Also why on earth would she be taking pictures all day and then pictures of him in the shower if she was planning to kill him? Don’t you think she would have worn gloves? Do you really think she would have put the camera in the washing machine if had carefully planned out the whole thing? Or did such a bad job of cleaning up the crime scene. No one stabs someone 27 times if it’s a plan. That was rage.

    Most importantly what you seem to be totally oblivious about is that Travis Alexander showed signs of mental abuse and intimidation towards Jodi. I had my suspicions based on things that have come out in the trail. However today I went to Travis Alexanders Myspace page which is still up and I believe he probably had Narcissistic Personality Disorder which I would think you must be familiar with. If not read Sam Valkins book Narcissism Revisited.. Travis shows signs all over his Myspace page that he just could not get enough of himself. Look through all of his pictures.. Under aspirations he writes “Money, Women, Power”. I believe he thrived on attention from women. Look through his page, It was mostly all women who wrote to him telling him how wonderful and handsome he is. I also get the impression he was having relations with more then one of them.

    I was involved with someone who had it and believe me, they bamboozle you at first and make you feel like you are the most wonderful women in the world, but then every few days when you are with them they zing you. They say things that make you feel bad about yourself. They pick up on the things that they know are your weaknesses, and purposely say things that are hurtful. If you do something like drop something or make a silly mistake that they are not happy with they will yell at you make you feel bad. They often make big deals out of nothing. Their game is all about intimidation, power & control.. They use sex as a tool. They can treat their victims like they are whores or they can do things like make you feel bad by withholding sex for weeks at a time, purposely to make you feel they are not attracted to you all for the purpose of control. After they do some of these things they can be very apologetic, which according to things I read Travis was. Or they don’t apologize at all but then the victim becomes very sweet and nice to them because they are worried they are going to loose the person. They also can put you in dangerous situations because they like having that control over the person. I could have been killed in a car with the person I was with once because of his road rage. He also put me in dangerous situations skiing & hiking and then would not help me when I kept falling and having a difficult time. He liked it when I as weak.

    They purposely will make their victims angry, they like conflict and drama. I have never been a violent person but the guy I was with would say hurtful things and twist my words in such a way that I would get angry and frustrated and sometimes actually slap him. He would act like I was the one with the problem. Yet from some stories he told me he was the one who had anger and rage issues. I believe that is what happened in Jodi’s case I think Travis said something to her and made her snap. She may have even been afraid of him thus why she had a gun (I don’t believe it was there I think she brought it but for self protection, not to kill him but now she is afraid to say that). In my case even though the person I was with had not physically hit me I believe he had the capability of doing it, and I was afraid of him. One of my friends at one point said if there was a murder and he was accused of it, she would not be at all surprised if my boyfriend did it.

    Long story short, do not discount Travis Alexanders part in this murder..research him and his behavior some more and look more into narcissistic personality disorder. Jodi did it on a whim and most likely in some way to defend herself. Thank you for reading this.

    • wow!!
      cyndi, that was VERY well written!! i am a survivor a true narcissist and i am saddened about the fact that people dismiss the disorder and throw the word around like it just “overconfident”, without studying it and learning how they are genius at driving their victims to do all kinds of things and the abuser comes out smelling like a rose, looking like the victim. this is what is happening here 100%!
      thank you for being so articulate and addressing this issue.
      i pray jodi gets help, not prison…..

    • i love that dear drew long spill Cyndi Pariseau has said a mouthful and i couldn’t agree with her at 100 percent. i truely also believe all what Cyndi Pariseau said. wish jodi he best of luck and i hope they find her innocent and se walks i truely do. god bless Rosie R

  435. Hey Jodi,hang in there girl.I cant even imangine what you are thinking,it must be very hard to face this everyday,but you are amazing and have stood strong.I once had a situation in which one of my own family was on trial,nothing like yours and it nearly broke me,you are very beautiful and strong,I pray for you every night and carry my thoughts about you all day.Jodi you will prevail,god bless.

  436. hey jodi, i was sorry to hear that you were feeling faint in court and had to request a protein bar! i heard that you only get 2 meals per day. thats crazy you should get at least 3 square a day! i am going to send you some money after the 1st of april. please use it to buy yourself something good to eat from the commisssary, you look awful thin jodi, try to eat to keep up your strength! love you girl and keep hanging in there! sandy 🙂

  437. Hi Jodi,Just to let you know that you are a strong,beautiful and intelligent young woman and will prevail from this.I cannot tell you how much it upsets me that all the people that are against you were swayed by the media.I have sent several post cards to you,hope you get them.I find it disgusting that you only get two meals a day.You should come and live with my family in Canada when you are free,I would be proud to have you as my daughter.you could leave all this behind you and start a new life.I pray for you every night Jodi,hope everything turns out,god bless you Jodi.

  438. Jodi,

    I pray for you and your situation… and you are fighting for your life! It is very sad that people find so much enjoyment from watching this trial. Just know that it will one day be over and just a bad memory. No matter what the outcome… you will still have enjoyment in your life. I am hopeful that God is watching… and that the truth will prevail. However things end up… i think you will make the most of it. I can’t imagine what you must be going through…. hang in there. Most people that dislike you … are unhappy and miserable… and they are jealous of you! God is giving what you need to get through this…. it is in God’s hands Jodi.

  439. Hey Jodi,
    Just thought I’d let you know I’m praying for you. All this negative press is simply crazy. Everybody in the media thinks they are an expert. What they don’t tell you is that you were there on this tragic day and they weren’t. I have been listening to the trial since Day 1. I was also abused when I was young. My Dad would beat me terribly. I know that you can only take so much abuse and then you can’t take it anymore. To me you seem to be a wonderful beautiful lady, that should be found not guilty. Everything I’ve heard shows me it was self defense. I can see you are a very stong woman. You’ll get through this Jodi. I know you will. I will continue to pray for you and root you on as well.
    Hang in there
    Carl Caci Louisville Ky

  440. Jodi, you are truly a beautiful woman and I really hate that you have to go through this. I actually live in Tempe, not too far from where you are being housed.

    If you ever get to see this, you will be able to find out I am the one who sent $25 on your books at the estrella jail back in the beginning of march. I just wanted to send you some money so you can eat well. I know what jails like and they starve you in there, especially in maricopa county!

    Hang in there and good luck

  441. hi jodi,
    i want you to know that i think your witnesses are doing an excellent job. the psychologist was very intelligent and explained things very well, i think the prosecutor really showed he didn’t understand it each time he had a hissy and tried to put words in the pyschologist’s mouth. your domestic violence lady is also excellent, and it will be interesting to watch her stand up to the prosecutor’s attempts to badger and belittle her.
    here are a couple of things I’ve wondered about since reading the police report –>
    first, the officer couldn’t stand the odor yet the roommates were there for five days? that makes no sense,
    and second, they don’t do laundry in five days?

    here’s what I think –> maybe the reason you don’t remember after the gun went off is b/c you ran out of there right then and there.

    if I were on the jury I would vote not guilty across the board. chin up and know there are many of us who are hoping and praying that your jury will vote not guilty.

    • Exactly Brenda..your question about laundry a maybe but cadaver odor permiates in a matter of hours depending on climate . . days??? 2 could be detected outdoors with the house closed up.and that being a hamster size, not 200 lbs… that’s fact. Looks like opportunity and certainly warrant questions. This is speculatory: TAs roommates were not all that fond of him. Flannel mouthed words cannot mask disgust thru a phoney smile.

  442. Hope you feel better soon. I’m so sorry you are having migraine headaches. I get them. I know what it’s like, feel better soon. We Love You So Much!!!!!

    • I am so annoyed that Nancy Grace is making light of migraines! I get terrible migraines that can last days. I can’t even imagine the type of migraine I would get sitting as a defendant in a murder trial! No one else has been in Jodi’s shoes so no one can say how she should be acting. I’m shocked at how well she has held up every single day. Jodi the more I watch the trial the more I wish the best for you. I think that the prosecution wanted it to go the other way, but if I was a jury member I would be caring more about you. I feel like you were so used and hurt. I’m sorry you’re in this position. Stay strong, you’ve been amazing. I’m sorry you’ve been so bullied. Take care of yourself as much as you can! Keep praying!

  443. Jodi….want you to know…there are people out here…that believe in you….Keep your head….but especially…..keep your faith…Knowing God is able to do above and beyond what you could possiably imagine…I stumbled upon this looking for your artwork….You are a great artist….Don’t ever quit this…You do know this is a gift…to be able to draw like this…Would like to know if any of the above are still available…praying for you regularly…Deborah

  444. Jodi,

    Hang in there! I pray you don’t get convicted of 1st degree. I think maybe a lesser charge would be appropriate. I think you are getting a raw deal here, most people get a plea offer for a lesser charge. I think they are making an example of you because you are young and pretty. JM put another woman on death row but that didn’t satisfy because he didn’t get much notariety for it. I think he knew your case would give him the publicity he craves. I think he is a miserable little man. All he does is yell and make a fool of himself. It makes me sick that TA’s supporters make him out to be a saint. TA was a TOOL!. You never should have been sucked in by that con. And then you have his family (sisters) one looks like a meth head and the other half retarted, the brother who is an admitted ID thief. Then the friends which have been featured on Dr Drew and Nancy Grace with their missing teeth (probably more meth heads)More TOOLS! What a mess of people you got mixed up with! I feel badly for you and I hope when this is over you can start over with better people in your life. I think the jury should have been sequestered because I know they have to be watching the media coverage on this! You can’t change the channel without seeing more on this case! It would be impossible for them not to see any of this. You should push your attorneys about this! I would bet my last dollar that some members of the jury have been following this on TV. How could they not see it? Good luck.

    • oh, yeah before I forget…. the 2 blonde bimbos (Dr Drew’s Jurors) they should be thrown out of the courtroom. They are just looking for their 15 min of fame. I have seen media coverage that shows them in the pews laughing and carring on in their seats, texting etc. These bimbos are disgusting and they have no respect or common decency. This is a death penalty trial, it is so disrespectful the way they carry on. Disrespectful of the court and to the people involved.

    • this is a huge point. if any juror can admit they’ve watched the media, or talked to family and friends who have watched the media, that’s cause for mistrial. how do they monitor the jurors? are they sequestered to a hotel or anything? the media are a bunch of hyenas, sorry don’t know how to spell that predator animal. I don’t watch them, just stream the trial to my computer to avoid the voodoo media shaking their rattles, to make the big bucks. if you can read this, I hope you are vowing to get therapy, get in a group, and find how to build new beliefs so you know how to keep boundaries. everybody is a Ahole sometimes,but keep your intuition open to those who have a strong foundation of kindness, and no attachment to hurting people out of their own pain and anger.and childhood. I know, I’ve been there.
      You and Travis were a ticking time bomb, your a Cancer right, and he’s a Leo? Those two houses can burn eachother down without being anchored in love and a lifestyle of love and understanding.

      • I agree, how can they be sure the jury isn’t seeing this full time coverage? This coverage is so biased. I’m in PA and it’s all over the news I can’t imagine how it is in Arizona. I just pray for Jodi. I pray to St. Jude who steps in when everything seems to be against you. Jodi, you deserve a fair trial and to be treated with respect. Keep praying and you and your family are in my prayers. Please take care of yourself even though it is hard.

  445. i have been watching since day one and i knew before anything happened and the evidence came out that something wasnt right. i don’t believe you are a murder jodi. i don’t even know you but i feel that is is not fair the way everyone is judging you. nancy grace, dr drew, jane valenz mitchell and te list goes on and one. what happened to innocent until proven guilty. i hope and pray that you are found innocent. it doesnt matter who you put up there as your witnesses all those haters on tv find something wrong in them. you could put god in the witness stand and they would put him down. just hang in there. i am also a survivor of abuse so i know how hard it is to leave someone you truly love. and i believe you loved travis. again god bless you rosie r

  446. Hi, Jodi, I hope you get a self-defense verdict. You will still need to find your own peace. I suggest you read some Camus, he is a great existentialist & has given me the ability to hope and enjoy the present during difficult times. The short stories about Algiers are great in The Myth of Sisyphus book. “In the midst of winter, I found in me an invincible summer.”

  447. Hope you get to feeling better Jodi. The stress an not eating good has to be so hard on you. I don’t know how your holding up so well for this long even. They should make a exception for the court an let the lawyers feed the clients I think. After all they all get to leave for lunch maybe they don’t with all the nuts out at that courthouse though.

    Keeping you in prayers daily. I pray the jury will see an hear what I do an have. Stay Strong at the Broken Places I am disabled an that phrase gets me through most days my friend ♥

    • So I’m not the only one that STRONGLY thinks this was entirely set up by others and they are using Jodi to take the fall? I know that situation all too well.

  448. Jodi I am praying for you every day and I hope that god will protect you from all this crazyness. I say a Hail Mary for you every day and sometimes more. I know with all your going through its hard to want to eat you cant sleep because of the noise. I felt that way when I joined the Navy to get away from my abusive ex husband but boot camp felt like being in a jail I could’nt eat or sleep but you must keep yourself healthy for you have a lot of people who support you. I think god is going to help you too,.

  449. Dear Jodi,
    have been following your trial. I wish you all the luck!
    I’m not on your side because you endured physical abuse but because there is no law against using someone for one’s pleasure. I absolutely hate such people and I’m happy that there is one less now.

    Wish that you live to find selfless love!

    Sam

  450. i’d have a migraine too. taking in how intimate partner abuse works. get some kindness, get some abuse.
    we have to know that there’s better out there for us. be grateful jodi, the best in life is personal growth, public opinion is one huge cry for attention and validation, not really about you. stand in love.

  451. Hello Jodi, Yes, its me again!

    Just want to say, think positive always, I’m always thinking of you. I’m very positive for you, I’m convinced the worst is now behind you. Stay strong, you have so many people here who love you, including me, let all our love surround you, you’re not alone.

    Love always, feel hugged, xxxxx Heather (1)

  452. It’s so un fortunate to see how one can become guilty even before one is proven that. I hope you will be released if you are not guilty and start a country like the one we see in the ” Girl who started her own country”.

  453. Jodi, I believe in you. I hope that someday you will find your prince and he will love you as much as you love him. You are a good girl with a good heart. Please stay the sweet way you are. You sing like an angel.

    Your friend, Sherry

  454. Jodi, Have your counsel contact the Bar association in regards to Martinez Behavior taking pictures and signing autographs as that is ethically and against the rules of Code of Conduct of an attorney and he will be removed and his license can be stripped by the Bar association. We do not like seeing all his Misconduct during the case so far . All evidence you need is all over the place 😀

    • THANK YOU SUSAN FOR YOUR POST TO JODI I TO FEEL THIS TRIAL IS UNFAIR HAVE YOU READ THE FLORES REPORT

      DEAR JODI

      MY PRAYERS I SAID TODAY HELPED YOUR CASE AND GOD HEARD ME … I HOPE THEY WILL STILL HEAR ABOUT ASHLEY THOMPSON REED TOO . SHE IS WITH GOD NOW AND IS PROBABLE WATCHING THE TRIAL FROM HEAVEN.

  455. Jodi, i’ve listen to the trail. I support you. I pray you will soon have peace. I think TA was a hipocrat from

    the get go.He used religion to booster himself. I know you fell for him hook line and sinker. be brave and

    trust in God Don’t let the news media get to you. I did have some respect for the HLN anchors but that

    has changed during this trail.Never give up hope. There are people who believe in you. I’m keeping you

    in my prayers. .

  456. Jodi,

    I can’t wait for the day that you are set free. I cannot stand all these idiots who post at HLN with their sheep mentality and cruel commentary. I am so appalled by the horrible things they say and what really horrifies and scares me most is that a lot of them call themselves Jesus/God-loving Christians. YUCK!!

    I’m so glad I’m not religious. Don’t get me wrong, I am spiritual, but I just like to follow my own path. No offense to those of you who are into organized religion. I do respect all people and their beliefs. =)

    I’m sending positive thoughts your way. Stay strong! You have the love and support of many people. Don’t worry about all the haters who might be envious of your beauty, talent and brains! heheh…I get tickled by the venom spewed especially by some of the women. It’s amazing to me that some women would dare to put other women down just because they’re prettier or more talented. low self-esteem anyone? lol!

    God Bless!

  457. oh crap! I forgot to say this. I think something needs to be done about the jury. I am 100% certain that some of them are watching the news. I was convinced of this after I heard the questions they were throwing at Dr. Samuels. They were parroting the HLN team in tone and sarcasm..

  458. I have to admit, when I started watching the trial towards the end of Jodi’s testimony probably the last 2to3 days. I really didn’t know what to think. I feel that I am a pretty non judge mental person and believe every story has 2 sides. I have to say that a lot of the things I saw and watched was all anti-jodi. The police interrogation videos concerned me how jodi was portrayed and some of the behavior seemed a little odd to me. I have faithfully watched and I could feel myself starting to emphasize with jodi. A lot if the press bothers me we have these lawyers doing their tv shows, Dr. doing their tv shows and all voicing their opinions on how the attorneys are doing etc. but and this is a big BUT I have seen so much for lack of a better word…cattiness I was astounded when lawyers on their shows would make a program about Jodi’s cold sore, yes cold sore. You are kidding right? Or maybe jodi matches her clothes to her attorney trying to emulate her. Once again…really? Do they think jodi has a walk in closet and when she gets woken up at 3 in the morning jodi has special powers to know what her attorney is going to wear. Oh right it must be all the witch craft jodi practices. Again making a topic of conversation on these shows. Another favorite topic … Which personality will jodi use today… Really all these people with there experience in law this is what your going to talk about? Or nancy grace in every two seconds BOMBSHELL in the jodi arias trial today ummm… Lets see KY JELLY…… REALLY all these great judicial minds on these shows and this is what you want to talk about. It’s sadly entertaining to watch these programs and that’s what you pick to talk about. Another biggie anal sex again really it’s fascinating its ok to try and destroy Jodi’s credibility because she had anal sex. I guess this was by herself and Travis didnt enjoy this. I think he expressed his views on Jodi’s backside on the infamous sex tape. That supposedly shows how jodi just spun a web of sex and lies and Travis well…..it’s not his fault he was mesmerized by jodi… Once again really?? There are so many things but for me I watched all if Jodi’s tapes when she testified and these shows say jodi lies and she is just trying to smear Travis’s reputation. I am confused because the testimony I saw Jodi seemed to be still trying to cover for Travis……well yea he did that while I was asleep but he didn’t mean it like that. He pushed me but I didn’t fall over, he grabbed me but it didn’t hurt but the minute jodi says he did something to her it’s…… No!!!!! She is smearing his memory. I think what bothers me the most is I feel jodi is being over charged. If it doesn’t make sense it’s NOT true. I am asked to believe that Jodi packed her death kit and set out for Travis’s house. Drove all that way. Had sex all afternoon was taking photos and then all of a sudden like psycho the movie started stabbing Travis just because. Really???? The experts saying look at Travis’s face when he is in the shower…. He looks scared???? WHAT ???? I must have missed that because he looked pretty relaxed to me. Another thing I am 42years old been married for a long time I hold a bachelors degree and worked as a nurse for many years. I’m not gullible and have a pretty good handle on life. And u can say that there has been times in my marriage I have gave into my husband on a sexual fantasy. Which I’m sure from time to time jodi enjoyed what was happening with some acts she at first was not comfortable with. DOES that mean she was willing and wanted to other times. NO that means Travis was lucky. My point in all this is I don’t know what happened in that bathroom, I don’t know what happened in the relationship. Do I believe jodi planned to kill him? That’s a big NO. Is there reasonable doubt?? YOU bet there is!!! It’s awful watching some of these shows talking about the stupidest crap. If there was anyone ever on that would say something remotely favorable to Jodi the phone connection would loose the call. Supposed ex boyfriends that maybe he had made out with Jodi let’s put him on everyday to talk about the same stupid irrelevant things. And this is our justice system and the minds of legal analysts psychologists a Dr saying its probably not migraines its some other kind if headache!!! Once again really…. The girl can’t even have a migraine headache? And a Dr so talented he can diagnose this over the television WOW sign me up I want that Dr. talk about no waits, no bills. Heck ya!!!! And the experts complaining about the amount of time witnesses are in the stand and the amount if money being spent on defense. Once again I call bullshit!!! That’s why we live in the United States to be able to give somebody the best defense possible especially when a person, a human being is fighting for their life. I say that is why I am proud to be an American. These people can’t have it both ways and choose who deserves it and who doesn’t. I must say I do feel for Travis’s family and their incredible loss and the way his personal life was displayed out in the open, hearing his own words. I think we can all agree if Jodi could she would go back to that day and would had never gone. Does anyone really believe Jodi is laying in her cell smiling and happy over this incredibly sad situation? No matter what happens with this trial guilty or not guilty Jodi will live this everyday. Please here me when I say this is such a tragic loss. Loss of a human life could never be forgotten. I just think to myself if Jodi wasn’t pretty and sexual would it be the same fascination. I don’t think it would have grown to be this enormous. It’s sensationalized with the beautiful girl and some crazy fantasy and alot of sex. That’s ripe for Hollywood and gossip. Yes I get it she lied!! But how many arrests are made and the truth is spouted right out, not many. I am not saying that is right. Or should be just ignored. But let’s be honest your scared to death, scarred by what has happened, completely mortified by your behavior. Human beings automatically go into self preservation. It may not be a quality we can put up as our shining moment but let’s face it We all do it. Please understand I know this situation that jodi is in the majority of us will never be in the place jodi is in. And thank god for that. Lesson is I would like to believe I would always be honest and forth right. But it’s easy for me to say. My point in all if this rambling is I support Jodi. I hope and pray that the right decisions are made based on things that are significant and not on she died her hair and put in glasses she is trying to look like a mousey librarian and not the sexpot she was. Sexpot their words not mine. I wish I had brilliant words if encouragement but all I have is Jodi be truthful to yourself. Feel what you need to feel. Pray for strength and forgiveness. Use everything that you have available to you to be able to allow peace within your heart. Walk don’t run through all emotions and barriers both physical and emotional. Feel every emotion that weighs on you and learn to confront it.

    • Kimberly, I read your entire post and would like to applaud your opinion.
      I coudn’t have said it better myself. AMEN

  459. You are a wining,….. I believe in your story and they will not find you guilty. there are too many men out there using girls for sex,.. treat them so badly and turn nice ONLY when they are after sex,…. god with you

  460. Jodi, it was lovely seeing you looking so much more relaxed after yesterdays trial when Alyce LaViolette gave her testimony. See, it will all be good, never doubt that. Always stay positive, keep those positive thoughts that all be fine. As you know, staying positive brings positivity to you. I’m sending positive thoughts each day I see you in the courtroom from my dining room in London. I’m convinced the worst is over. I can’t wait till you’re set free from this nightmare.

    Don’t waste a single thought on the types, you know, the worst sort, just not worth it, if you have those thoughts or anything negative–throw them out.

    Just keep telling yourself the best is yet to come, and it Will, Jodi, I know it.

    Just remember we all love you, that’s important. Stay true to yourself and beautiful, because you’re a wonderful person.

    Stay strong. I worry that you’re not getting enough to eat, please speak up about that to Kirk and Jennifer, they are wonderful people and its no wonder you’re getting headaches.

    Loads of hugs and Love, Heather xxxxx I pray you’re released.

  461. Hello Jodi,
    I just want to say that I think you are a beautiful young lady and I would be proud to have you as a daughter. You are also very articulate, poised, polite and you certainly know how to conduct yourself. Furthermore, from what I’ve saw and heard from others, you are extremely talented.
    I’m sad that you find yourself in this situation, when only a few years ago it seemed all you wanted was to have a happy life — maybe with kids and family. I hope you get that chance. I think you would make an excellent mother. You seem to have the strength to guide children the way they need to be guided in today’s world. In my eyes, you have held up extremely well considering what you have been through. I can’t even begin to imagine what you have been through and had to endure. Your strength impresses me greatly AND I’m not impressed very easily. Continue to have hope, courage and strength. HAVE A GREAT EASTER WEEKEND your friend,
    Edward
    PS >>> Your case is building momentum and seems as though it will have a positive
    outcome. I hope and pray for your release.

  462. Jodi: you are another victim of mans abuse on woman using lies and false pretenses to get into their pants and use them over and over. The more we as woman become theirs the more they use us and continue to lie… i consider it rape!!!! when a men uses false pretenses and fraud to use a womans body is no different than using false pretenses and fraud to get a contract however when is your body that is being invaded, your soul is touched by fraud and lies then is your life that has been taken and that is why you did what you did you couldnt take any more losing your life to the lies and falseness of the men using your life for just their pleasure and then moving on with a piece of you like nothing happen. I so much want you to win!!!!! you are a champion for standing to yourself and the many woman in the world than need you!!! Im a lawyer too and here to help if you need….

  463. Jodi….if someone else was involved….they cannot hurt you…..don’t take this fall alone. I feel you have been misled by a group of people who take the faith for granted and prey on people like you. Its abuse and you need to stand up to them. Don’t be afraid. It will all be ok. CULTS DO NOT LOVE YOU. THEY USE YOU.
    Sorry if I am over stepping…but I just want you to get it all out….this isnt all your fault my dear. Hugs!

  464. I truly believe the whole Mormon church thing is the cause of this horrible tragidy. Their ridiculous rules seemed to have caused so much of the conflict between travis and Jodi. He was brainwashed into believing he was superior. He brainwashed Jodi into believing he was superior. All the sex rules made him think less of Jodi. Because she slept with him, she was not “marriage material’. yet Travis kept using her for sex. I think ultimately she realized Travis had used her, abused her, then discarded her like she was trash. I think he did physically abuse Jodi. why else would she have so much rage in the killing. she could have just killed him with one shot to the heart or skull. All the stab wounds tell me she was provoked. if Jodi can read this, please know that you have people who still care about you and we do not judge a person by their worst act. We understand how you feel and how you felt. Hoping only the best for your future, Jessie

  465. May I add, I hope you are found not guilty just to spite that hateful troll Martinez!!!! He is despicable!

    • I have been stunned at the way the Prosecutor (Martinez) has free reign to twist Jodi’s answers around, put words in her mouth, and completely mis-characterize her responses to his questions. It is making me lose respect for our judicial system.

  466. Dear Jodi – I have so much compassion for you and really emphasize with the horrible situation you are in. I have been a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of three men. Please stay strong and realize there are so many women out here that are on your side and understand how you were defending yourself against this man who tortured you. Peace.

  467. You and I have similar past being abused mentally and physically and know how to hide it around others. I fell in love with a guy named Eric and he no longer wants anything to do with me, he has destroyed me mentally accusing me of being crazy and not having the “best body” called me fat! I on the other hand, have fitness photography and have been told of being the “sexiest” but… on the inside all I want is for Eric to like me. So, their is this new girl (lets call her) Erica. She’s now friends with me, which leads me to think that’s not the best decision she’s made especially when I’m still in love with him. She asked if it where okay she’d date him, and agreed it’s alright but on the inside I feel I don’t want her to go far with him, he and I are virgins and I want us to be together and lose our virginity. I have stood strong to be with this man he is only 19 years old turning 20 in a couple of months and I just turned 19. I want him :'( but she’s going to have him and I know she’s a backstabbing bitch acts “perfect” – I admitted to her a week ago that I faked a profile just to talk to him, she thought I should move on, and he once again called me crazy wanting me out! but.. I only want him to see the good side of me, want him to see the real me. (yes this may sound crazy) – I support Jodi! So pleas, can someone help me on what I should do?!

    • If this guy is abusive, I would strongly advise you to run away from the whole situation as fast as you can! Definitely do not be friends with this new girl and do not ever confess to any stalking like behaiviour. She is going to run and tell this guy everything you say. If you feel you absoulutely must try to get this guy back, then here are some things to remember. Do not act needy or crazy. Do not chase this guy.Be super cool. the best thing for you emotionally is to be independent and mabey date another guy. When you are no longer available, I bet this guy will want you back. even if you are not really that interested in another guy, if the one you want see’s you out with another man, it might make him want you back. Sometimes a little jealousy is just the thing a man needs to see and figure out that he has lost you. In my experience, as soon as I act uninterested in a guy, that’s usually when he wants me. Remember men are “hunters” that is just the way they are wired.So, best of luck to you, Jessie (TEAM JODI)

    • Dear Katrina

      The only chance you might have of getting his attention again is to walk away (or at least show the appearance of doing so). In general, early in a relationship, guys don’t like it when there is no challenge at all and find a girl too easily won. Sometimes girls (and guys) are not aware that they are being perceived as desperate to be a relationship with anyone; they might not feel that way but sadly that is the way it looks to others.
      If you continue to be too available to him, he will keep looking elsewhere for love.

      PLEASE, find a way to leave him completely alone (no matter how hard it is) and show him that you are in demand elsewhere and have a full life without him.
      He just might decide that he let someone very interesting go too soon and start pursuing you again.

      On the other hand, if he is truly over you then, there is little chance this plan will change anything, but at least you will be able to walk away with your dignity in tact.

      Hope this helps
      Love Lynn

  468. Hi Jodi,

    Just wanted to let you know that I believe you were the victim of horrible abuse and I know you are innocent. The state only has evidence that anyone could poke holes through. I will never know why they chose to charge you with Murder 1. The evidence does not match what they say happen and there seems to be so much more information that has not come out yet. Someone is trying to cover up something it seems. I pray for those that are covering up any evidence to come forward with the truth. Thursday was a great day and more evidence has come to light to support that Travis was very abusive. I am praying that more truth will come to light on Tuesday. I pray daily for the truth to come out and I pray for wisdom for your defense team.

    I hate to see you having to live in that jail with poor nutrition and sleeping conditions. You are such a strong intelligent woman and I admire you for the way you have held your head high. On this Good Friday I pray that God will surround you with comfort and peace. I hope you get some much needed rest this weekend.

    Peace be with you
    AJ

  469. Hi Jodi,You have stood strong against a wall of hate,I am so saddened by all the things that are being said about you,Hang in there girl,you are a beautiful person and deserve to full fill your dreams,I pray for you every night and Iook forward to the day you will be free.God Bless Jodi.

  470. Jodi,

    I am not going to say a lot but will say this; If you were my daughter, I would be so upset to know you had fallen in love with someone that was so selfish, heartless and uncaring. I wont comment on the crime but pray for you to get some real religion in your life (I mean real religion not someone imposing their so called religion on you and playing with your mind. Maybe try Joel Osteen in your life and please, don’t ever stoop down to a lower level or belittle yourself for anyone. not now , not tomorrow , not next week, not ever. ya hear?

    The Best of Luck to you.

    • PS…I have a younger brother who treated women like crap in his younger days–I have NO respect for him. I know EXACTLY what this is about and wanted you to know–it’s cruelty beyond imagination. just saying, I know.

  471. Dear Jodi

    I feel like I know you with all the TV coverage of your case and trial. My heart goes out to you, your family, and Travis’ family. I relate to your situation and know how things get. I pray that Jesus will be your comfort and protector through this ordeal. I believe you when you said you thought Travis’ spirit touched you, letting you know he is OK. My brother and father have both died and I got the same messages from them. Somehow you and Travis were and are connected and probably will be always. He is in a place where he understands why and is at peace. I pray that you find some of that peace here in this world through your relationship with our sweet Lord regardless of the physical outcome of your current situation. His love will show you why it is all perfect NO MATTER WHAT.
    Much Love
    Lynn

  472. I feel for Jodi…. I am 21 I’ve been abused from the time I was three left home at14 to escape my troubles and heal but it is impossible to let go of something that has broken you to the point of no return and at fifteen the cycle contiued when I thought I had found what I had been seeking in a male that was four years older then me he abused me physically and mentally for five years I left serveral times but always return I felt like I had no one else and that I deserved no better I finally am free from him but finding my self in a simular situation and not sure what to do I’m so damaged at this point I jusst don’t care to fight….. I agree with all of you and am so glad people are out there who think like I do on this case even though hln would like to claim abused women are against Jodie well on this page it’s clear that most are not it just goes to show you are guilty intill proven innocent when it plainly states that is not how it should be but our nation is so corrupt many people by in to this as well with out fully thinking for their own selfs and clearing looking at the evidence that supposts the fact she is not guilty…. good luck jodi

    • Casssie ,

      I am 31- and I was abused as a kid too. I also went on to date some horrible guys in my young 20’s. Please know that you are worth so much more- and your abusers should be the people suffering, not yourself. It took me a long time to realize that. Once I finally decided to “not let them win”, and I gained self-esteem for the first time in my entire life- My life just got better and better. Don’t let them win your whole life. Those who harmed you already took too much. Rise up and kick the world in the balls. Your experiences can help other women realize they too can make it out alive.

      <3

  473. Hi Jodi,

    I would like to express my support of you and my admiration for the kind of courage you have displayed in this intensely trying time. I found a quote that I think adequately expresses this:

    “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.”

    Author: James Neil Hollingworth (pseudonym Ambrose Redmoon) (1933-1996)

    Best wishes to you and your family,

    Bill

  474. Hi Jodi, You remind me so much of Princess Jane Doe in ‘That Girl Started Her Own Country’, that novella’s brilliant heroine. I hope you win your trial and become successful like her but with no more legal problems to hold you back. You deserve a wonderful future.

  475. I’m a hard-nosed cynical old bastard who’s come around, after hearing the evidence, to the conclusion that it was self defense. If I can come to that conclusion there’s definite hope that members of the jury will also. I wish the best for you, Jodi.

    “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
    Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle DL

  476. Thinking about you this Easter weekend. You have incredible strength. I hope that this weekend leaves you with renewed energy and a sense of peace to go forward in the weeks to come. You have a very large group of supporters, and from all Countries. We are all behind you, and seeing true justice done in your trial.
    Stay Strong!

  477. Ok so they want her to be accused of premeditated murder right..gas cans the stolen gun from grandpas house..phone dead the plates upside down on the rented car…HOWEVER: if she did go there to kill him why didn’t she shoot him while he lay in bed asleep instead of wrestling with a 200 lb abuser knowing she could have been killed instead of him…this just does not make any sense to me…and if the jury has half a brain and some common sense she should be allowed to go home and as far as seeking the death penalty there are men who kidnap children rape them kill them and they are not on death row serial killers there not on death row.
    i`m sorry but the only thing Jodi is guilty of is lying and she has time served…
    an another thing that little warped idiot thats standing outside having his picture taken and signing autographs needs to be taken down a couple of notches..who does he think he is screaming bouncing around like an idiot.that JM prosecutor he`s loosing and that why hes screaming and flying around like a monkey…settle him down not everyone thinks he`s adorable…

    • And by the way Jodi Happy Easter God is with you and so are many many many more..and Happy Easter to Jodi’s Team you are doing a great job..she is very lucky to have to on her side…

  478. Hey Jodi,My heart goes out to you girl,I wish you the best and stay strong.With trying times like this it is hard to look at the positive,you have shown your courage and virtue in the past three months.I feel saddened when I see you in court,you are a beautiful young lady with a future ahead of you.I hate to seen the pain and anguish in your face,I cant imagine what you are going through,be well Jodi.I am 100 percent behind you and when you are free you can live the dreams that you wanted all along,god bless Jodi.

  479. hi again jodi, just wanna wish you a happy easter and tell you i’ve been thinking about you and hoping you are getting more to eat and regaining your strength for trial! be well, your friend, sandy

  480. Dearest Jodi,

    Wishing you a Happy Easter. I’m holding you in my heart and prayers, and sending you strength to see you through these darkest of days. I see freedom, happiness, peace and good things ahead for you.

    Blessings to you, little one. <3

  481. Jodi…May God , bless you, honey. HLN is nothing more than a scripted, reality Tv network. I believe you. I believe that TA was an emotionally, physically & financially abusive to you. Not only to you but to other women in his past as well. I believe that he was a mysoginist and had pedophlliac fantasies that would eventually have become a reality for some child, somewhere. I believe that he caused you much harm–and is still (through his death) causing abuse to be heaped upon you. I believe that you are a symbol to abusive men, everywhere.

    My prayers and thoughts are with you.

    Tracee

  482. Happy Easter Jodi We Love You!! We Believe You!!!!! You Are A Beautiful Woman And You Are So Special!!!!l You Are An Inspiration To Me And My Whole Family And To Many Many Others Everywhere!!!!Hold On Tight You Will Be Victorius!!!!!!

  483. Jodi,
    I hope an pray you had some kind of nice day. Although I know that would be hard to do. I have watched the Hughes over and over again an I truly feel they both are hiding something and I think you know it too. I would never lie in court or bare false witness not even for my brother or family period just because my faith is that strong.

    Deuteronomy 19:16, 19 and 21
    (16) If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse a man of a crime,
    (19) then do to him as he intended to do to his brother. You must purge the evil from among you.
    (21) Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

    History reveals that when an innocent man is given the death penalty, perjury is often involved. Furthermore, a study of the cases in which a “guilty” person was later found to be innocent shows that, to get the conviction, evidence was often withheld or tampered with, or witnesses lied. It is clear that lying in court to get another person executed by the government is tantamount to murder, and it is easy to see why God commands the death penalty for someone who would do that. If our government speedily executed anyone caught lying or doctoring evidence in a capital case, most of that would stop very quickly.

    I hope an pray the JURY see’s an hear what I have. I feel since you do not know for sure what happened after the gun shot an rolling on the floor that everyone including you are guessing what happened after. Travis was there for 5 days by himself ? I don’t believe no one tampered with anything in that room. I don’t believe you did that laundry even really. I almost believe since these LDS an PPL friends in MESA ARIZONA show such discontent with you they say before the death of Travis that some body knows something more out there about this but you are just going with it to get it over with. An Self Defense is evident to me the over kill I am just not sure it all went down that way.

    I hope someone heeds way to the whole truth an I pray you are let go you have done enough time now for Self Defense I do not think you should have to endure more this is ridiculous an I am not a man hater if the story was the other way around I would be for the man’s side if that were how it was. I hope you know a lot of people are seeing the real truth now an hopefully even more in the coming week. Blessings an many prayers for you Jodi ….STAY STRONG AT THE BROKEN PLACES my friend ♥

  484. dear jodi
    i think i know what happen to you the nite travis died. I pray with all my heart that the truth the hole truth will come out in trial and to day being easter i think good helped me see the truth. cant tell you what i know because of the media coverage knowing they are watching or comments but i will keep saying the rosary that my grandmother gave me that belonged to her mother my grandmother moma tola told me her mom say the mary so my rosary has lots of meaning for me and i will keep you in my prayers.

    HAPPY EASTER JODI LOVE YOU TONYA

  485. Hi Jodi,wishing you a happy easter is really just a saying,I dont believe that you could derive much pleasure in the place you are in.I sent you some post cards,hope you got them,I heard that they are not letting you have much nail.You are in my prayers and thoughts everyday,I hope the best for you.you are beautiful and strong and I know that you will endure,I am with you all the way,God Bless Jodi,hope you can smile a little soon,Dennis from Canada.

  486. hi jodi, I’ve written “protecting our children ~ defending ourselves” and I speak out on domestic violence issues (survivordv.com). unless someone has experienced the terror when the man you love threatens to kill you they may never understand what happened the moment he said “f ing kill you, bitch”. but i just want you to know that there are literally millions of us in the united states who do know exactly how you felt at that moment. and there are literally millions of us who are hoping and praying that you are set free. you didn’t deserve to be abused by travis, you didn’t deserve to be belittled and ridiculed by him over and over again. you didn’t deserve the psychosexual and spiritual brainwashing by travis and by his weird cultish ‘friends’ and ‘family’. and you don’t deserve a police investigator who overlooks serious evidence – ashley reed’s ex husband? the roommates? etc. – and you don’t deserve a judge who allows the prosecutor to badger you and your witnesses. you don’t deserve to be sitting in jail for the last five years while the state refuses to accept a lesser plea. stay strong jodi, you are shining light on the issue of domestic violence which still to this day includes 15.5 million children living in partner violent homes in this country alone. your case is bringing focus on the issue of domestic violence and showing that strong, intelligent, creative, attractive, and successful women are often the victim. Your expert witnesses are explaining to the world what so many millions of women and children have endured, and helping each of us heal more each day as we see ourselves in you. okay, we didn’t shoot, but we also know that when we went to the police they didn’t understand, when we told our friends they couldn’t believe it b/c our abuser seemed ‘so nice’, when we told our family they said ‘just leave’ w/o understanding how we were trapped. thank you jodi, for having the strength now to stand tall and to explain to the world what happened. thank you to your lawyers also for hearing you and for fighting so hard for ‘self defense’. stay strong and know there are so many of us who are hoping and praying you are set free.

  487. ashley reed
    “rear naked choke hold”..? i thought mormons didn’t practice beastiality 😉 This was posted to Travis’s Myspace page 5 years ago. Not to mention he was an avid UFC fan,mentioned by his sister in a previous post. Just an FYI- that he probably did choke Jodi out.

  488. The general public thrives on media headlines and not facts . If Jodi Arias didn’t kill Travis Alexander, maybe Travis Alexander would be on trial for Jodi’s murder. Travis is already dead and by seeking a death penalty shows how savage and barbaric the public is .Jodi acted in self defense while the public acts on intent…. Killing Jodi will not bring back Travis Alexander. It’s a fact that Travis Alexander was a talker …and he used his words on Jodi Arias. After using her he did what he always did…looked for another prey ….most of his preys are mormons he met at the mormon meetings and none of them want to disclose what experiences really occurred due to shame and regret ….No matter what the jury decides…Jodi is already free from that predator but is now in the clutches of the politics.

  489. I Prayed for you over Easter Weekend.. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ took troubled souls from imprisonment and poverty and granted them life and freedom. Jodi, no matter what happens, please know that you have many supporters who do not choose media drama over fact. There are so many hypocrites out there who preach one thing and practice another. We’re not all like that. Some of us have lived through very similar relationships and have fallen hard. There was a time when I didn’t think I would make it out alive – from the grips of my ex. I nearly died twice, ended up in 2 different mental hospitals, and lost all of my mind, body and soul to the relationship. Lucky for me, I got help before things got even worse. Today I am married and have 2 kids and I’m so glad the past is behind me. I wish I could give you a great big hug… I know the hell of PTSD and the damage low self esteem imposes on our spirits.

    I am about to start Law School- yes at age 32, with 2 small kids. It’s something I always thought of doing, but never thought I’d make it. Criminal Law is my passion, but I never felt so strongly about defending as I do viewing this trial.

    My prayers are with you. Please know that you have many sisters out here ready to defend you and be your voice.

    And thank you for inspiring me to work hard!

    <3

    • VioletteR, What a sweet post. I wish you the best in Law School. Jodi is so blessed with so many wonderful people like yourself who encourage her to hold and not to give up hope. God Bless You. May God Bless Jodi.

  490. Hi Jodi,
    It’s me again. I just wanted to let you…again….that I think you are innocent and should be set free. And that’s after pouring through tons of information and watching all the testimony up to this point. The way I see it, HLN should pay for your defense, being they are the one who has PROFITED at your expense.
    Just one mans opinion.
    You are beautiful and intelligent. Stay Strong.
    I pray Tuesday’s defense continues to be as strong and compelling as we have seen thus far. JW and KN are doing a fantastic job. They are good at their job and know how to get the truth out, though painful at times. I’m sorry you had to display so much of your private life to the public. But, your case has built tremendous strength in your favor. I hopeTuesday it will continue to get stronger.
    your friend, Edward

  491. Hey Jodi
    Just a note to let you know that many people believe you, including me. When I was in my 20s and 30s, I really wanted someone to love me, and as a result, I did not set healthy boundaries and suffered a lot of abuse. Thankfully, although I was attacked, I was able to escape. But it is very easy for me to understand how you were not able to escape. I am so sorry for what happened to you, but I am glad you were able to save your life. I truly hope the jury will understand that your life was threatened and that you had no alternative. My thoughts are with you Jodi.

  492. HoW On EArth Is This PossiblY A Fair Trial for Jodi??? The Media Has Taken It Too Far.

  493. Im Starting To Wonder Who Really Killed TA????? I Just Dont Know If I BeLIeve U Did It At All.

  494. Jodi Sweetheart,

    I only started reading about your trial today. My heart goes out to you and I will be praying for you! My heart breaks for you. I understand your story because I have been there, too. A lot of women have! Please never forget how much God loves you and focus on THAT. I wish I could give you a hug. I am sorry that you confused being a doormat with love…It is difficult sometimes to have boundaries, because the bible teaches us to make ouselves nothing and give it all away. It makes me angry because this kind of teaching is damaging to people who don’t have healthy self esteem or good boundaries. I am 43 now and I am still getting it. When I was your age, it was the worst time in my life: I was young, smart, beautiful, desired by many men….and I couldn’t say no. I found that every one of then objectified me. One was engaged to another woman at the time. Not a single one was interested in my feelings; they would all disappear whenever I asked for anything more than a f***. I learned this behavior is common; It’s difficult (but not impossible, I hope) to find a good man. I learned to be happy. YOU WILL TOO! You will get throughthis and your life will be better than before. This is my prayer for you, dear Jodi. Jesus is with you today, love. BELIEVE. ((hugs)) Melissa

  495. Want a good read while in jail? See if they have the book. “The Shack”. Best read ever…and you will fall in love with God (the real God) Jodi. The healthy full spirited way that will give you strength and maybe even give you enough peace in your heart to open the windows in your mind that are remaining blocked out. All Max Lacado books are amazing too. But if you read anything…read “The Shack”.

  496. Dear Jodi
    I know the story now I know you did not kill travis if you read this show me a sign put both your hands on your cheeks ill be watching and praying that more evidence will come out

  497. Jodi

    My prayers are with you. I hope the leagal system ends up working in your favor so you can get past this part of your young life. Again my thought are with you.

    Dan

  498. 4/04/13

    How did Nancy Grace 300 pages of Jodi’s diary? It was being read on TV today on HLN. Some of it looked like the same entries the were entered into evidence at the trial. Is Juan Martinez giving copies of evidence to the media? Who is doing that? Is that another misconduct?

  499. If HLN can get copies of the interrogation tapes of Jodi’s mother and (step) father why can’t you also get interrogation tapes of the Travis roommates and their questioning? They are playing to death the tapes of Jodi’s parents interrogation and saying “they weren’t surprised” that Jodi would kill.

  500. Hi Jodi and fellow Jodi supporters, been reading some of the posts and it appears that a lot of us supporters are in or have been in abusive relationships and some of us can not get out for reasons already mentioned here. We abused women know what Jodi went through, as some assholes once they found their victim just never go away. I’ve been in an abusive relationship with a bipolar Hades for many years and well I have learned to get used to the relationship, and can relate to the mythological character Persephone, and as this is a public post, you can figure out the rest. I still put my foot down, he will never get anal from me ever!!!! The way some men treat women in the west, they are no better than some of the evil men out in India that are killing women simply because the women want to act free and look dress beautiful. I know this because i have been in a few random chats and read some of their comments and attitudes towards women in that country. I agree too, Travis is 200 lbs, there is no way Jodi who is 120 lbs could of dragged him out of the bathroom, wondering who else was involved. Jodi please tell us who it was, maybe she is protecting her friend. Poor thing. Tonya from Texas I love the praying kitty, found that pic weeks ago and have been using it as a desktop background.

  501. Hi Jodi, I hope that you’re able to see these support messages. I want you to know that there are people on your side. We see that you aren’t a bad person. I’m really hoping that the jury is feeling the same things that I am feeling for you, and realize that what you were going through is very real. The media coverage on this trial makes me feel sick because of all the bias and all of the shaming you for things that you just shouldn’t be shamed for. I’m wishing you just the very very best and I want you to stay strong. My heart’s with you.

  502. Jodi please stay strong! I am so happy to see there are people that support u! I support u 100 percent, I know u were abused not only that u were judged by people who claim they are so godly like! I believe all the woman that were telling travis to leave u were jealous, he abused u its clear 100 percent! I know u feel safe now travis is not hurting u! I love u jodi!!!

  503. I literally feel sick when Martinez the bully starts his screaming. he is exactly the type of man that abuses women, I can tell. he is a despicable troll. I certainly hope and pray that the females on the jury feel the same way as I do and most everyone on this sight. When he started yelling at Laviolette I was furious. laviolett was wonderful today on the stand. she showed the world what a jerk and a liar and an abuser travis was. God bless you Jodi, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Jesse

  504. This cross examination Martinez is using referring to Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs is crazy. Personally I think he just wants to be one of the dwarfs.

    He’s so freaking rude and disrespectful to Ms. Laviolette. Glad she’s standing up to him.

  505. Hey, Jodi! I know you’re going through so much, and I feel so bad for you. I watch the trial on TV every day, and I just pray to God you don’t get the death penalty. That’s the last thing in the world I would want for you. I can’t imagine what you’re feeling under your circumstances, but I want to send you my love and best wishes. We’ve never met, but I feel like I know you. I’m pro-life, so I don’t believe in the death penalty. Take care, Jodi. Keep the faith.

  506. Jodi, I just wanted to let you know that I pray for you every day. I can’t imagine how difficult this must be for you. I watch the trial each day and am just saddened that you are being portrayed in such a light.

    The truth is that all those hateful/judgmental people attacking you could not hold up like you are doing.

    When I watch the trial, I see so many similarities to my life years ago. I put up with so much abuse. I imagine if I were in your place I too would have countless hateful people judging me. It just saddens me to see you being treated like that.

    The prosecutor just makes me sick as well as all the garbage on the HLN site!

    I have never seen so much twisting of the truth in my life.

    I just want you to know that I am praying for you to be acquitted on all charges!!!

    I am so sickened by our court/justice system. Evil would be the word I use to describe it.

    I will continue to pray for you daily that you are set free.

    May God’s Strength, Peace and Love shine down upon you as you face each day.

  507. Hey Jodi,you looked very pretty today,loved your hair,Hang in there girl,they are trying to break your spirit,but you are strong,beautiful and intelligent.You will be free soon,I pray for you every night,I had sent you some post cards,hope you got them,its not much,but it will hopefully put a smile on your face,GOD BLESS Jodi

  508. Jodi,
    I am in my early 20s. I hang on every word of this trial because I know what it’s like to be mistreated by a parent/man. Hearing the stories of what TA did to you make me cry because I have seen myself in the same situation. I have gone into the “fog” while being berated. I have felt like death was the only way to end that. I think it is so sad the horrible things people can say without having any knowledge if the situation. It will be a great injustice to women if you are convicted. I’m glad TA is on trial too. This would not have happened if t weren’t for the manipulation and psychological abuse. You have 100% of my support.

    Good luck and God bless.

  509. Jodi,

    you were clearly not treated well by Travis, and you (unwisely) tried to protect him (and yourself) from the shame involved in this. I believed you just had seen enough and your nerves were wrecked when it came to the incident on June 4. Whatever happened that day, whatever amount of it was self defense or nervous breakdown – it doesn’t actually matter. (BTW, a nervous breakdown is a form of self defense, too.) I am praying for you to get a mild sentence. I feel that you personally have grown a great deal in the past 5 years, and that makes me glad for you. Jesus loves you, and whatever guilt you carry in this he took to the cross with him.

    (And to all the others who think they are Jesus’s special friends: He loves sinners who come to him for forgiveness – not the ones who are righteous in their own eyes. It’s in the Bible.)

    Lots of love

    ~Lene~

  510. Jodi,
    It’s me again. I just wanted to say Hi and I let you know that Alyce LaViolet is doing a good job of letting the jury see the abuse you had to suffer and the danger you were in on that fateful day. Every day of testimony is strenthening your case. Even when JM is crossing it still seems to be in your favor. I still think you are innocent. That’s my opinion. Stay strong and have a good weekend.

  511. Dear Jodi,
    I don’t know how you sit so poised and patient in the court room everyday. I’m so impressed by that. I don’t think I could do that. I can’t imagine what you’ve been through and what you’re going through. I don’t know if you’re still of the Mormon faith but I’m Catholic and I know when I’m struggling I rely on my faith. I look at you and all I see is someone so beautiful and intelligent and I wish you never met him. I wish you had never been in jail and were living your life, having fun, finding real love, and doing things you love. Take care of yourself as much as you can. I’m so sorry you’re in this situation. I pray you can stay strong and know there are people who care and support you even though they don’t even know you! I wish you the best and please take care! Lots of prayers coming your way – Danielle

  512. Hi Jodi,
    We are still praying and want you to know we love you and are standing with you all the way!!!! As a Mom I have so had it with all of the drama and hate and enough is enough!!!Any chance I get I defend you in conversations with friends or neighbors. I don’t give a darn what they think of me. I know you are telling the truth.! I know you will be victorious! I believe you already have the victory and I will always fight for you. I’m so tired of ignorant people who don’t educate themselves with the truth and the facts they just spout off with all their stupidity! Love you Jodi. I think you are awesome, you are so strong. I pray God continues to pour out His Grace And Mercy on you and continued strength to endure. Hope you have a restful & peaceful weekend.

  513. Jodi I think Alice is doing a great job for you. I had not heard until her testimony what a jack ass Travis could be. I had not heard all the bad things he called you. their is no excuse for that. And the way he played numerous vulnerable women. no one deserves murder but it definitely re insured my thoughts that he did make you afraid for your life. I know you didn’t have another motive. I really think things are turning your way. I know you have a lot to read. ill keep it short. just want you to know I care . Also I saw some of your art. It is beautiful. Their are many feelings that I have that make me feel I connect with you. Namasta

  514. Hi Jodi,

    I truly hope you are receiving these words of support and love. People like Juan Martinez and these anchors on HLN speaking untruths will all have their day. This time is for you to make peace with your (our) Maker and find your strength and comfort there. Your attorneys seem to be doing a great job…you’re lucky to have them…and, you have much more support out here than you know. I’ve lived in Mesa for over 20 years and I totally know how the Mormon faith (and especially their men) treat women. I hope for your sake, you have abandonded that cult and turned to the one true God and his son, Jesus Christ. The Mormon’s are all about abuse, power and treating women like _________________ (you fill in the blank.) Hang in there. You do have people on your side….and, there are people (many people) who live in Mesa that are NOT Mormon and DO NOT support how they and TA treated you. Find the love in your heart and ours that will keep you strong. It’s actually very touching to see more and more people coming around and realizing that even though you really did love him, you had to defend yourself against his abusive behavior. I’m not condoning your behavior, either, at times, but I can totally see and understand how this all played out, and you will be forgiven. God bless you and keep you safe in his loving arms. Just pray…..and, we’re praying for you and all that are affected by this unfortunate tragedy.

  515. jodi, your expert witness is doing an excellent job and clearly knows what she’s talking about. i think the prosecutor is making a total fool of himself with his snow white routine and i think the jurors will be able to see how when he treated you so poorly on the stand how brave you were to sit right there and keep answering his questions, even though he was barking and stomping his feet throughout his questions.

  516. I have noticed that Justice For Travis supporters appear to be “organizing” via HLN talk boards to go after Alyce LaViolette by calling the publishers and sales outlets for her books to say they will never buy another book from them if they don’t stop selling LaViolette’s book. It is for revenge for her testimony in the Jodi Arias trial. Since she is still testifying is that considered Witness Tampering? I find it especially vile. Can it be more than that on a legal basis?

    • i agree with donna, alyce laviolette is being targeted by the justice4travis people who are saying the most hateful things and encouraging each other to trash al’s reputation and career. i hope they all get prosecuted and i hope that the defense team is able to use this information in court to show how the prosecution and his followers are attempting to intimidate/threaten/abuse and destroy the career and livelihood of this expert witness. She is doing an excellent job, has explained domestic violence very well, it is evident she is an expert in this field, and she has rightfully recognized the truth that travis was abusive to jodi. they just don’t like hearing the reality of the situation that travis was an abuser. plus, i think the prosecutor’s snow white routine kind of has them off kilter a bit b/c they certainly must realize how ridiculous he is sounding each time he fails to grasp what the expert witness is attempting to explain to him. anyway, jodi remember that no matter what the hate spewers are saying that your defense team is doing an excellent job and your defense witness is an expert, knows dv inside and out, and is impressive to those of us who are watching and who are working in the field of survivor advocacy. You did not deserve to be treated so poorly by travis. you did not deserve to be treated so poorly by his friends and family. and you certainly do not deserve this trial. in my opinion, the judge should be getting in control of this circus created by the prosecutor and at the very least insist that he stop yelling and stomping his feet as if he is a two year old having a tantrum.

  517. Something to think about…. If Jodi would have been killed same way as Travis, Juan Martinez would be cross examining Travis and Travis witnesses . He is just doing his job, which I believe is not good. It would have been bested if this didn’t go to trial. One life, is forever gone, lets just pray Jodi will have a long and wonderful life very soon . She has already spent too much time in jail.

  518. Jodi,

    I wrote to you a couple of days ago, but forgot to mention something: I think you are what they call a “Highly Sensitive Person” (HSP). There are books about this personality, it can go hand in hand with “Highly Gifted”, and these people tend to pick up – and get hurt by – things much more quickly than others. Not only cognitive type stuff, but also emotional things. This would explain why your mom thinks it’s a fantasy world you’re living in that you had a rough childhood. In her eyes, you hadn’t, but you as an HSP experienced it so much more strongly.

    There is also some new research that connects HSP, Highly Gifted and borderline personality traits. The latter are explained by the increased hurt that comes with increased sensitivity and often giftedness.

    I hope all this will sort itself out in your favor and you will find time to heal and get a better life.

    ~Lene~

  519. I love Jodi’s hair pulled back off of her face. She looks so pretty and angelic! Dearest Jodi, All our thoughts and prayers are with you , we all love and support you! Jessie

  520. Hey Jodi,thinking about you,i pray for you every night and hope that you will be free soon,I know it must be hard to stay positive,you have been a rock through out this trial,I cant even imagine what goes through your mind,Stay strong girl,you are beautiful and intelligent,your beaming smile will soon return when your life returns to normal,take care and have faith,god speed Jodi.

  521. jodi stay strong people only talk shit because they have no life of their own. your defense team is doing a great job. martinez is a joke. keep the faith….. no matter what hold your head up! i was abused for 10 years… people that have not been there will never truly understand. i pray for you every day. yeah there are a lot of people against you but its the quality of the people on your side that matters.

  522. I feel so bad for Jodi, the prosecutor is just ignorant. I wish I were on the jury because I have personal experience with men like Travis. I have an ex bf that treated me like that. I was good enough for sex but he would lie to his room mates and say I was like a stalker or some crazy shit when it was him contacting me. I remember one time he told me he wanted to take me out to dinner so I showed up at his house and he went out with me but then I received messages from his friends telling me to stop stalking him…….HE INVITED ME TO DINNER! Just because his friends saw me he felt like he had to lie and tell them I was crazy. I ended up forwarding the message he sent me inviting me to get them to see that it wasn’t even my freaking idea. Some men are just hurtful. I don’t know if he physically abused her but the mental neglect would be enough to justify kicking his ass. I ended up just getting engaged to his best friend and taking him as revenge. There were times he hurt me so badly though I thought I should kill myself and all kinds of things. I know how bad it can hurt to love someone and have them use you as just a hole for their cock. I too indulged in some sick fantasies (even letting him choke me) because I wanted him to care for me and I thought the more I gave, the closer I got to him caring. It never happened. I sympathize and think she was right to kill him because he was a terrible person who didn’t care about anyone except himself (I mean his dick). I’ve heard the shit he’s said. He would never treat a woman right and would just cause tons of pain to all to women in his life. He is an abuser even if he never hit her. I feel bad that she has to justify this and even possibly make up physical abuse when the mental is enough. I can testify first hand. When someone hurts you that much, you feel like you have to make them stop. I used to even fantasies about luring my ex over with sex and tying him up then beating the hell out of him with a baseball bat. I know that’s not healthy and I never did it but I definitely can relate as to what state of mind you’re in when you’re in that kind of relationship. She shouldn’t have to justify it when anyone who listens to the conversations can tell he was sick and using her along with many woman. Maybe this should just serve as a warning to not be mentally abusive because women will fight back. You can’t hurt mental abusers with words when they don’t care about you so maybe there are other woman who will be pushed to a breaking point and take physical action. People can only be pushed so far.

  523. Travis was an odious type, a hypocrite, an abuser, a sexual predator, and mean at that. I have dealt with dudes like this (not as bad to be honest) but my self esteem and inner strength were there for me and I was able to dump them without further thought. I wish you could have done so too, but now try the best you can to defend yourself and hopefully life will give you the opportunity to say NO to dudes like this in the future as you certainly should have. Good luck.

  524. Hi,
    I don’t think that Jodi did this as premeditated. I am not sure, even though she has admitted to part of the crime, if she is alone in this. 1. How does a woman who is 110 lbs move dead weight of 198 lbs? 2. How does a 198 lb strong man allow a 110 lb woman to over power him? 3. the medical examiners report says that Alexander was shot AFTER HE WAS DEAD, how does a dead man chase anyone down the hall?….
    But in any case, how is it legal that Mr. Martinez can take a word from the witness’s statement and put that word in a different sentence and try to mislead the jury? He is completely running around the witness’s statements and creating a fairy tale story and trying to get the witness to agree to his make believe by asking the witness “Did you just tell me, did you just use the word _____?” then makes the witness agree to have just used that word, but then isn’t allowed to go on to say “yes, I did use that word, But not in the sentence you’re using it in”. How is it legal that he is doing this? He is a joke! He has no case, so he is creating a make believe one. And the sad thing is, he is feeding it to the jury. The latest BS they are putting on tv, of Jodi’s Mom and the video of Jodi standing on her head in the interview room, are just means of a desperate man to try to prove his make believe story. People do strange things when under pressure and stress. But does her odd behavior prove that she planed to kill Alexander? I don’t think so. But it does prove that Mr. Martinez is desperate.

    • You are in my daily thoughts and prayers Jodi. Keep strong. God loves you, as do we. You are a beautiful creation.
      Tony

  525. Ms LaViolette desirves to be treated with more respect than prosecutor is capable of. The media is always on the side of the prosecution and normally very bias. God has a plan for you. Good Luck
    Thank you for having the guts to talk back to Juan He is a negative energy. He looks like one of the seven drawrfs (grumpy), I understand why Ms LaViolette treated you with respect. She is not abusive like Juan… He thinks he has the right to treat you and your witnessess poorly because that is how he treats people. He acts like a bully. I hope the jury sees through his manipulation. You are a strong woman stand up for yourself the world is watching. Travis is dead that can not be changed. I pray for his family. I know how hard it is for someone you love to die in a horrible incident. You had no choice i hope you understand that and can go on and have a good life.

  526. It is hard for me to believe that the actions of prosecutor Martinez have become even more ridiculous and adverserial than they were before but they have. Today he continues to ask the defense witness to assume any a number of scenarios. Everybody knows that assuming anything makes “an ass out of you and me”. In this case it is definitely making an ass out of him. This combined with his ultra aggressive manner of questioning of a qualified witness for the defense is definitely not appropriate behaviour for someone who is supposed to be a legal professional. If I were a member of the jury I would be now be quite tired of this line of questioning he has continued to put forth. So much so that I would just want this trial over and done with an render an appropriate verdict which would be not guilty because the prosecution has not proved their case against Jodi beyond a reasonable doubt. Also, regardless of the instructions the Judge gives the Jury it is impossible for them not to be influenced by some form of outside opinion on this trial that is prevalent on so many multi-dimensional media outlets most of which are quite biased against Jodi. People like: Nancy Grace, Dr. Drew, and the other loud mouth bitche’s on HLN along with all their so called experts that evaluate this trial and every trivial aspect of it constantly are totally full of shit. The Judge should have realized the affect of this along time ago and sequesterd the Jury at the beginning of this trial. If I were the legal counsel for Jodi I would request a mistrial because of the fact that it is impossible in today’s world for the non-sequesterd Jury to not be influenced by outside sources all of which who have already convicted Jodi in the court of public opinion for the sake of media sensationalism and higher ratings for their programs that thrive on things like this.

  527. Good luck to you tommorrow Wednesday, April 10, 2013 Jodi Arias. I hope you get to live the life you always wanted.

  528. Travis was so “afraid” of Jodi stalking him that he didn’t lock his house doors!!!! One of his roommates states in the Flores report that he didn’t have a house key (but paid rent) because the doors were never locked. Does that say ANYONE in that house was “afraid” of stalkers or burglars or anything????

  529. Jodi, this site is amazing!! there so many people out there that love and support you. You are blessed!!
    I’ll write you a post card and put alil something in your account very soon. Hope to hear from you soon
    until then remember GOD loves you and so do I.

    Ray from Harrisonburg, Virginia

  530. One more day JM makes his *style of questioning* absurd to ANY Juror, You’re looking good for a full aquittal Jodi. Ending arguements will decide between an aquittal or man2… with you and chin up always,, keep strong and dont let the * arm-chair lawyers + pros* (( HLN)) get you down,, They f’d up in the Anthony case,,, and will again this time ’round,,, God Bless an’ it’s almost over…. draw from your heart, always…

    • um I meant the morons on HLN are tryting to save face.. that’s why they’re attacking you.. I feel an aquittal coming soon… you’ve already won ! tc Jodi … tons of people are behind you!

  531. Hang In There Jodi!!!!! Still Praying And Believing You Are Going To Be Set Free From This Hell!!!You Are Doing Wonderful!!!! You Have An Awesome Defense Team!!!! Looking Forward To A Huge Celebration When You Finally Are Free!!!!

  532. Jodi, if I were on the jury after JM is finished there is no way I would support the state! His behavior is ridiculous. That alone is a turn off for me. Please keep your chin up but be careful showing emotions of victory when the trial is going your way because you don’t want the jury to misread that as being a smart ass. The bottom line is that Travis strung you along and used you. I do not support killing however, TA is not innocent by any means! The news discusses how you have a coldness when people look in your eyes, well the photos I have seen of TA shows he is mostly angry or pouty or looking as if he is thinking hard and trying to pose a picture rather than being natural. Also the clip on the news where you are laying on his lap and he is discussing a gun being put to his head and you are sleeping…I would be sleeping too. The story sounds far fetched! How in the world does that happen in a story then he is actually shot???? The whole situation is fishy. I do not support death penalty for anyone Jodi.

    Take care Jodi,
    Oliver

  533. Jodi,

    I think you are so strong and I will continue to pray for you daily!
    You have all of my love and support.
    God loves you, Jodi.

  534. Jodi-
    as a man, im appaualed at how you were treated in that tragic relationship…ho;d your head up highGod knows what you both wentthough and he will fore give you. best wishes in the future may you find freedom and an honest love. and most of all peace.

  535. Jodi-

    As a man,i am appaulled the way you were treated in that relationship…keep your head up high God is goodand he knows what happened in that relationship he will foregive you. I hope one day you find freedom, peace and an honest love.

  536. If someone is tweeting messages representing they are from Jodi herself….STOP immediately. It is one thing for her supporters to vent (but not a really good idea either) but it is totally different for the defendant to be flippant or venting. If that person is a fraud in representing herself as Jodi, have your attorney get on it.

    • Fully agree with this. There will be time for “venting” without the risk of sabbotage. People on the fence will teeter off to the prosecution side because if they are on the fence it’s due to emotion not evidence. The ones looking at evidence have their minds made up, the fence sitters won’t need much such as arrogance to hop off. This information gets to the jury it will sway their judgement.

  537. Please be strong Jodi. Know that you do have supporters that are not blinded by evil media outlets. We are here for you and hoping for a full acquittal for you. Hang in there!!

  538. Jodi,

    What has happened to you and Travis is absolutely horrible and I feel for both of you. To have been driven to the point of panic like you were must mean that someone was behind the wheel. I listen to the information in court and I’m sure you wish you had made a choice to leave but most of us don’t know what the next moment will bring if the other person is angry and aggressive. You were left with no choice and have to live with that, and Travis left you no choice and in eternity he knows that truth. I am so frustrated that HLN has been so biased since they are lawyers and the law is innocent until proven guilty. You have admitted what you did and I am sure it must be the most painful thing to live with. I hope that once this is over you will forgive yourself and give your self some grace. We are all on level ground at the foot of the cross. Remain humble and true to yourself. There are lots of us who see through the spin of the media and believe even though you have had the backbone to admit your part, Travis played a larger part. No one deserves to die but if that person put you into a position where you had no choice, that fault is with him and his choices. I have been in law enforcement for over 30 years and the media is trying to railroad your reputation. Be strong and God will bring you through this. He knows what happened and one day you will stand before Him repentent and you will be forgiven by the One who matters. God bless you and your family. Also a friendly word of advice, don’t let your friend tweet anything sarcastic it only gives the media amo to hit your character with. Be the lady you are. Feel free to write me for support. I believe in privacy and have stood by many who have gone through trials that were manipulated by media and lawyers who just want to lynch people who had valid reasons to do what they did.

  539. Stay strong Jodi, What happened happened. for whatever reason. You have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt you are an intelligent and creative loving woman that some how got lost on a dark path. I hope light and peace can now find a secure place in your heart, mind and soul and fill your life so much you are never tricked by a man or anyone else down a dark path again. Keep your chin up and be strong. I am happy to see you have many supporters 🙂

  540. Jodi,

    I’ve been watching as much of your trial as I can. I just wanted to tell you what an amazingly strong woman I think you are. When I hear some of the e-mails that Travis sent you, it brakes my heart. Then to hear about the intimate things he had you participate in, all while preaching to you, I was literally disgusted. Hearing everything that Travis put you through, I don’t understand how people can still say that he was this great and perfect die. Great guys don’t treat others, especially their girlfriends like a piece of garbage. I know it’s not much but I wanted you to know that I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that the jurors see through the show that the prosecutor is doing, and find you not guilty. Wishing you the very best, stay strong, and know that you’ve got support all over the country. Take care and wishing you the very best!

    God bless,

    Gabrielle R.

  541. Jodi – You are intelligent & beautiful! No girl should ever have to experience what Travis put you through. I hope you receive these messages so you know that you have many supporters that are sending their love & well wishes to you. Stay strong girl!

    xoxo!

  542. Hi Jodi,
    Things are going really good in my opinion. I hope tommorrow brings forth another fruitful day in you favor. I can’t wait to see the day when the sun shines on you face again. Stay strong.

  543. Hi Jodi
    I have been watching the trial – but I really hate HLN’s “lynch Mob” mentality! They have lost so much credibility with their false accusations and comments, trivial pursuit, factual errors, ridiculing or cutting short your supporters, and blah, blah, blah. I hope none of the jurors are watching their bashing bs.
    From everything I have seen in court, your story would be difficult for the jury to refute, especially without any real evidence. I wish the Best to you.
    I really love & admire your Art work – wish I could afford to buy something. Keep drawing! God gave you a Beautiful Gift!
    Jan

    • Jodi and Jan,
      Those “doctors” and “lawyers” on HLN have lost all credibility. Their opinions mean nothing. I actually feel that they make Jodi look better. That sounds backwards but my reasoning is they are aliening their audience. When they pick at Jodi they are picking at their audience. When they complained about migraines they alienated me bc I know what it’s like to miss work bc of migraines. For everything bad they say there are people out there that they are offending.

      Yes the art work is amazing! I can’t believe you can focus on making such beauty out of this situation. That says something very strong about your character in my opinion.

      Danielle 🙂

  544. On the State vs Jodi Arias there are some people saying they would like to see Alyce LaViolette dead. Who is the site administrator? They get the latest court motions, ect, so they have to have a direct link to the public defender’s office(r). Someone needs to step in here. I can’t believe is letting her courtroom become a place where witnesses get threatened and that’s just fine. Maybe the media needs to be stopped and go to closed court sessions, because the public is too out of control of its emotions.

    • Sorry, I meant the site must have some very direct association with the District Attorney’s office.

  545. Jodi, keep your chin up and dont let anyone break your spirit. I personally believe you. : ) Dont let what others say change you. You are beautiful, artistic and a smart person. I wish I could meet you and give you a big hug and assure you that you have alot more pulling for you than not. Praying for you Jodi. Just wish I could meet you someday. But for now keep your chin up and smile because you have a beautiful smile.

  546. Hi Jodi,
    I am so excited to mail your postcard. I wish I could send you prayer cards or something pretty and positive. Your art work is very pretty. I really like the Grace Kelly portrait. I hope your migraines are getting better. I myself get terrible migraines and if I had to sit there in that courtroom I’d be one big migraine! I hope you’re taking as good care of yourself as you can. Oh my gosh I was just thinking if people could send you positive things the jail wouldn’t be able to handle the mail! You’d have beautiful surroundings though! I hope your lawyers are really taking care of you too. I hope you have a lot of support around you. I hope you know you have a lot of supporters around the country and we’re thinking of you and praying for you. Take care.
    Danielle

  547. Dear Jodi page,

    I truly believe that he used a “stalker” story to cover his tracks among his friends, so if anyone saw Jodi and Travis together that he could write it off as “oh, she’s a stalker” he could live his double life in the mormon church and his career and no one would be the wiser.

    There is a new game among men out there, it is called “She’s a stalker” what this does is make the man look wanted and some men believe that they will look hotter to other women also they can have as many women as they want at the SAME time and each gal thinks the other is crazy… all the while he is having all the attention and whatever he can get from the women. Money, sex and power!

    Go Jodi!

  548. Jodi, please keep your spirits up. You probably have more supporters than you think. I have been following your trial and I believe you are 100% innocent. First you were abused and brutalized by Travis, and now you are being abused by our (in)justice system. Please hang in there! Don’t give up the fight.

    God is on your side. Be happy you broke free of that notorious cult, and its crazed practitioners like Travis.

    Regards,

    Benson Stein

  549. Hi Jodi, I hope you know that there are just as many people who believe in you and pray that you will see a light of freedom at the end of this terrible tunnel – I am one of them. I have watched your trial when I had the time and I know your head is in a fog and spinning like a top during these long days of trial. I think you are carrying yourself very well, just keep on acting natural during this entire trial – cry, laugh and get mad when the time calls for it. All of these news people will that speak poorly about you (that’s their job and it sells “air-time” and “newspapers”) would be doing the same thing in your shoes. Always stand up for your faith and what you believe to be the truth. I will pray for you. I wish you could write back to me. My motto has always done be well in life: work hard; play hard; and look forward in life “never” looking over my shoulders backwards. Good Luck Jodi!

  550. Dear Jodi,

    You represent millions of girls and women out there who are being used sexually everyday.  There’s nothing that protects us against that kind of abuse. Men know how easy is to take advantage of a person in love.  Men do it all the time, they use women all the time, and society takes it as something so normal. They ignore the fact that the person being used is also being destroyed emotionally. Scars form, but no the visible scars that will cure over time. I am talking about internal scars that nothing can cure. Psycological damage. 
    By any means I am trying to justify murder. I am trying to tell you that I believe you when you said you were defending yourself. 
    There are people out here whose self-esteem and emotions have been killed by men who see women as sexual objects. Women who have seen those same guys doing  the same batracity to other women and there is nothing to stop them.  
    I believe you just got tired of social injustice, for taking that kind of murder as something normal, and decided to make justice with your own hands. Because of endless nights crying for not understanding what is wrong with you, why a guy doesn’t want to be with you after having sex. And the guy is sleeping normally, like nothing happened, planning how he will attract another lady, sleep with her and leave her afterwards.  And society will say: it’s normal, thats what guys do! Why does it have to be us taking all 100% of the pain after being used and there is nothing for them? 
    Be strong Jodi. Represent us out there. You are just a woman  who got tired of this injustice. Those guys should not be walking freely on the streets after using an innocent woman who was just in love or living an illusion. Because those guys know they can take advantage of the situation, and they do it! and there is no penalty for them, there is nothing to protect us against them! 

  551. Here’s my reasonable doubt and what your defense team should hammer home. You appear to be very intelligent. If you premeditated this crime, you did a terrible job! Not something an intelligent person would do. You could have just walked in and shot him in the head and walked out. The crime scene leads me to believe your story. I believe you don’t remember, its just common knowledge that when something terrible happens to a person a lot of peoples brains block it out. My son can’t remember is accident at all. I don’t condone what you’ve done, but I understand how terrible things happen, and how we all cope with it. At this point you are fighting for your life, it only takes one jury member. If I believe you, someone else does also. Remember the crime scene is really your defense.

  552. Dear Jodi Arias,
    I hate that you find yourself in such a situation that does not reflect your true character. It saddens me to see you have to defend yourself against such a crime, when all you were searching for was love, acceptance and family. Jodi I’m sorry that this happened to you and want you to know that I support you. And yes,to any doubters out there I have done a great deal of reserch regarding this case.

  553. Hello Jodi,

    I am writing to say that I am on your side on many different levels. I too have seen the dark side of a male and know what it feels like to snap. I know you have so much to offer…i can see it in your art, your smile, and the way that you carry yourself.

    I will be writing to you soon! Perhaps, I will send you some art of my own =)

    Best of luck, Dear Jodi!

    ~* Jessica

  554. hi Jodi I watch the trail ever day I wish you well and you will win your case I live in Canada if there is anything I can do to help am about half rich if that makes sence . you will win Jodi ill write soon dave

  555. Dear sweet Jodi,

    Don’t worry about the last two days. Everything will be okay. You’ll see.

    Keep your chin up and stay positive. I know it’s difficult, but we all still have a long way to go. You are not alone.

    We love you, Jodi. Don’t forget that.

    Try to get some rest this weekend. We are all praying for you and sending you positive thoughts.

    Sil.

  556. my thoughts .. Travis was a complete walking lie. hiding behind his Mormon bs…. and his job.. are you serious.. and in his private life he was a piece of crap.. lying non stop about being a virgin to how many women? having sexual emails with a married woman.. calling Jodi names in text messages that were pretty foul to say the least yet they try to paint a picture of how he was so wonderful. it reminds me of a catholic priest who has sex with young boys in ways.. a total walking lie hiding behind something that made him seem holier than everyone.

  557. Jodi, I see your heart. I empathize with your struggles during your formative years. I see your capacity for love and generosity. A tender heart can be stepped on only so long, after that, one is never quite the same again. You didn’t ask for this gift, you were born with it!. I also know what it is like to be wanted, to be accepted by those who sadly have no compassion for the “eccentric”. You were born hyper sensitive, you were born with insights many cannot see?. That is a heavy load of emotions for anyone to carry through life on their shoulders. When your case is decided, I pray that you find a different Christian doctrine to follow?!. In my eyes “Mormon” is not where you belong. Most people do not recognize the persecution this cult of evangelists has used against you?. You were taunted with subtle rejection during your time with Travis and you are facing the Mormon gauntlet of judgment in the court room. Much like a pack of Wolves , the media bias fueling the masses against you, is to those who really see the truth REPULSIVE!. No person in their right mind condones murder, and I believe that includes you. Travis was sick, you picked the wrong boyfriend and he treated you like dirt. He was a phony and an opportunist, and I believe you are carrying the burden of other secrets this man desperately tried to cover up. He was arrogant and a “bully”, the wise see this!. Foolish is the man that does not recognize the true love of a woman with a devoted heart. If you were mine, you would be cherished. Be strong Jodi, and if you truly receive these web comments? MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU! (-;

  558. Hi Jodi,

    My heart goes out to you. There are so many idiots out there who do not understand what you have gone through and still you keep your head held high and stay positive. It seems as though many like Nancy Grace & co are benefiting from your ordeal to make money and make themselves famous. The media have utterly gone over the top by supporting the prosecutors and do their best at making you look like a witch. I have watched your trial from Sweden and followed your story. I have come to my own conclusion that you are innocent and that you acted in self defense. If you had lived in Sweden you would have received a fair trial in my opinion. My prayers go out to you and God Bless x

  560. Hi Jodi,
    It’s so difficult to watch this trial and listen to how they twist everything you’ve ever said or done in your life. The stuff they are saying about you when you were a teenager what a joke!!WE all did stuff we are not proud of when we were teenagers. I was such a rebellious brat when I was 14, 15, 16, 17 you name it I was so mean to my poor Mom. It’s ridiculous they are even bringing any of that stuff up unbelievable!!!! When I saw you crying yesterday I cried with you and I immedieatly started praying that God would wrap his arms around you and calm your spirit. It’s all going to be straightened out. Jodi it’s going to be ok just hold on God will make a way where there seems no way!!!Love you and holding on with you. Love your defense team they are awesome!!!!!

  561. Jodi, I want you to know that because of your bravery I have been able deal with some of my own memories of violence. In you I see my mother, my sister, my friends and myself. I’ve been very disgusted and disappointed in the reactions of many people. However, I try to remember your words on the stand. You handled yourself with grace and dignity. I was left with the impression that you are not an angry and bitter person. If you can forgive, we all can forgive. This is a great lesson you have taught me and I hope many more follow your example. With gratitude I will make a commitment to not live in fear. I will speak out against injustice. I will stand with you through this fight. As a ‘Jodi Supporter’ I will do my best to represent you honorably. Thank you, Jodi, for giving so many hope and courage.

  562. Jodi, I am really disgusted with the HLN s**t coming from the networks. I can’t believe they can’t or won’t see through the smokescreen that the prosecution is saying and see that you truly are INNOCENT of the charges against you. Travis was no angel – far from it. He was a two-faced sexual misfit who disrespected and abused women. Unfortunately Jodi, you had the misfortune of crossing paths with him. I believe in you Jodi and I really believe you will be found NOT GUILTY of these charges. GOOD LUCK JODI.

  563. Amusing story for you, Jodi… opened up a Twitter account to defend you less than 24 hours ago. Started following a “Chris Stark”…. within a day, I was thrown off (temporarily) when I said, “@stark3923 BFD! Who cares? (Except rabid Alexander/Pedophile groupies.)”

    She was talking about an old pot prosecution from your atty.

    Stay strong, honey!

  564. Jodi,
    I just want to tell you I have been watching from jump and I believe soooo much of your description of what happened, you may not remember some of it, what I want to say is I really really would love to be able to get in touch with you! I nave been in a very similiar relationship and I have some things that have been running through my mind and they may be things your defense team had not thought of! If the friend who is reading these to you could please email me and possibly get my number to get to you, that would be great!!!! You remind me sooooo much of myself, so kind hearted, beautiful and GIVING. Doing whatever need be to not hurt somebodys feelings and to make them happy even if your not. I would LOVE the address to the jail so I can get a letter to you! God Bless you beautiful girl, Funny thing as the Casey Anthony trial was going on I knew from the get go she would walk, NOBODY I knew agreed, I didnt even think she would get 2nd degree or manslaughter, I JUST KNEW she would be set free, I am not a PHYSIC bcuz I do not believe in that, but I will tell you I have VERY STRONG intuitions. Anyway, I would LOVE to hear from you.
    Take Care hunny.

  565. Hi Jodi,
    I just wanted to let you know I still believe in you and all the members of your defense team. I hope you’re having a good weekend and hope you are getting some rest. I hope next week is yet another good week for you. Stay strong. A lot of people are behind you.

  566. Hi Jodi….I believe you and support your version of events….give ’em all you got girl…..don’t let the haters get you down….I really need to hook up with your twitter acct, too……you are one awesome survivor…. 🙂

  567. Firstly a BIG Thank you to Jennifer Willmott , I wouldn’t be able to control myself working against the one with “Little” Man Syndrome! As soon as she makes good factual points the little one who is out to make a name for himself just twists everything around to sound bad, hence the reason he demands a Yes or No answer , he knows Jodi was abused in the worst possible way that’s why he tried his hardest to discredit Alyce who by the way I think is awesome and the way he treated her was a utter disgrace. Now Jodi I’m from Australia and have been watching this trial as much as I can and I do feel so sorry for what you have gone through and what you were forced to do to defend yourself!!!! I have been married for 27 yrs and have 7 Children and NO so called “man” has the right to treat any woman the way he treated you. I do pray the jury see’s “Little” Boy (JM) for what he really is and listened to the good honest people like the Doc and Alyce. Don’t fear I do believe in Karma for that “little man” and lets hope one day he finds himself behind bars in the very same prison he has sent many men too 😉 So many Australians myself included support you and as many other’s have said ..Give it to em Jodi you are an inspiration so hold your head high hun God Bless xoxo

  568. Nancy Grace and Jane Velez Mitchell should be ashamed of themselves. They have caused innocent witnesses to have their lives and careers in jeapordy their shoddy “reporting”. Their viewers worship Nancy and Jane and believe that their “words” are truth. They are both completely biased and cut off the opinions of others who do not share their opinions. If I have to hear Nancy Grace talk about her fiance’s death and her kids one more second I will have projectile vomiting. Also, I am tired of Jane Velez Mitchell and her saving the planet and telling the world how she is a recovering alcoholic ad nauseum. BTW I have an idea of how to raise money for Jodi’s defense. Have T-shirts made up with Jodi throwing Nancy the finger with the caption “Nancy this finger is for you!”

    • Thank you, Thank you for all what you said about those 2 women on HLN. I am w/you about Nancy Grace and Jane Velez-Mitchell. I agree w/you about her fiance’s so called murder and those kids of hers. I could care less, now there is Jane, Ms.Recovering alcoholic. Both of them need to know, quit being so jealous of Jodi, she is far prettier and likable then the both of them. Nancy Grace and her stupid handcuff necklace, who cares if she lost it or whatever. She just looks NASTY!!!!!! What gets me, is like those two “big mouths” have “never” told any lies. Must be nice to be sooooooooooooooo perfect. I am for Jodi!!! I’m praying she will walk….That would just piss everyone off, and I can already hear them….Stay strong Jodi, its going to be ok.

  569. Hi Jodi

    Its me, Heather, I haven’t come here for a while but I’ve watched every trial, I don’t get the trial until 6pm and of late I’ve been so tired–watching all the nonsense has depleted me–Martinez. But I want you to know that you were right–you won’t get convicted–this is the first live US trial I have seen and its a farce, to say I’m disgusted is an understatement–its worn me out but I have to watch.

    Just want you to know that I care about you sooo much. I would love to meet you, love you to come to me in London. I think about you often. I honestly don’t know how you have coped with being in the court for so long and having to listen to JM’s bullshit, you are one hell of a strong woman and I admire you so much! You seriously need a medal for all you have gone through and are still having to go through, you need spoiling and I’d love to be the one to do it.

    Lots of love, Me xxxx

  570. Hang in there Jodi. Don’t pay any attention to those haters. They are all jealous of your looks, your artistic talent, intelligence and strength.

    take care,
    Sherry 🙂

  571. Jodi,
    We pray for your peace, comfort, and your life. We watch your trial daily, and we’re pulling for you with much energy. I believe you will live your life in liberty and in the sunshine one day soon. Hang in there. You are not alone.

  572. The diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder is actually a good thing for the defense. Do your homework. Show where impulsive acts do come into play (spontaneous decision to go see Travis) with past spontaneous things to back it up. Does BPD mean you can’t get PTSD? Does it mean you can’t be in a domestic violence relationship? Or are you more prone to it (yes). Again, do your research. Crimes with BPD are more often crimes of passion – explosion than premeditated. And what does a borderline personality disorder personality (who fears being abandoned) mix with a womanizer…..explosion. This could have gone much worse for you. Use it rather than destroy the diagnosis.

    • Murder Second Degree : Crime of Passion

      Reference: Sansone, Randy; Sansone, Lori (2009). “Borderline Personality and Criminality.” Psychiatry; 6(10):16-20.

      Some studies looked a violence in association to subtypes of BPD. One study found serial murderers to be associated with a strongly manipulative subtype of BPD. Another study relates rage-based murder with an “over-control” subtype of BPD. The authors conclude that “the majority of current data and impressions indicate an association between BPD and the impulsive, rage-fueled murder.”

  573. I will say something else right now. The power of true love and your partner treating you like shit and constantly disrespecting you can make you snap!!! I am in a relationship with a man that I met 7 years ago! He persistently tells me one thing, but does another! I am sick and tired of this, but I keep praying that He will change. Maybe I am wasting my time, but because I love him sooo much I keep hanging on. One day I took a knife to his chest and made a superficial abrasion to his chest, but something stopped me. In my rational mind, I realized that the course of this action can change the entire course of my life. I am 53 years old. He just turned 57 on April 13th. Due to utter stupidy and other factors, I missed his special day with him. A moments rage done in seconds can change our lives forever. You have taught me something, Jodi. My heart goes out to you for the cheating bastards in this world and the intense harm that they cause to us. Even if they are not cheating, in some way or another they are not treating their wives or their women right. People get sick and tired of being mistreated!!! Especially when your man puts his sister before you! The problems that it creates, being number 2!! I told him the other day, make sure that your “sister” cooks, cleans and washes your clothes for you as you continue to put her on a pedestal and put her needs before mine. I am almost done!!! We have also have had some domestic incidents dating back years ago, where police had to be called because I wont stand for no shit! He choked me and fractured my trachea! This is not to air out my business, but anything can happen at a moments notice. When an argument escalates, IMMEDIATELY REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE SITUATION!!!!! It makes a world of difference. Being separated in these moments brings people back to their rational minds. I do not believe that what you did was pre-meditated. Fear of losing him in such a deceitful plot on his behalf, can make you snap into a person that you are not. I am a sweet loving, lovable, faithful and loyal caring person. However, when Ron “wounds” my heart, the devil exists inside of me and I want to hurt him in any way possible!!!! This also means physical violence!! Anyone is capable of doing ANYTHING in a fit of pure rage!!!!

  574. Hey Jodi hang in there I know you mean well.Its not easy trust me I will pray for you

  575. Hi Jodi,
    I can’t imagine what a long day you had! I think the days they talk about their CVs are so boring and I’m not sitting in the courtroom! I can’t imagine how you must feel! I have Borderline Personality Disorder. It’s not an easy diagnosis. I’m a little older than you, I was born Jan 1, 1980. It took me almost 15 years to get correctly diagnosed. I was constantly misdiagnosed. Well, I also have bipolar disorder so that also comes with depression and anxiety (and panic attacks). But, personality disorders are hard to diagnosis. My thoughts are if you do have BPD you’re not bad or weird, it’s just something we have to live with. I personally see my docs a lot and am on meds. But we have something else in common we have above average intelligence. If this does get to you I want to say if you have above average intelligence and BPD – in my opinion in living with those two things you didn’t premeditate anything! Why? Because you would have a great memory and would have had an awesome plan to explain everything away. When I am extremely defensive, scared or have to react (I haven’t had to in a while) I “black out”. I also do weird things that I think will “fix” the situation that if I was in my right mind I would have really fixed the situation. I also lie about it first so I don’t get into “trouble”. The first thing in my mind is to get as far away from the problem as possible. When I’m back in my right mind I have to admit everything because in my “black out” borderline state really I just made a complete mess of everything and it was obvious it was me that did everything.

    You are still an intelligent person who really doesn’t deserve all of these horrible things that are happening to you in your life. No one should ever hurt you. The fact that you had to defend yourself against someone two times your size should be something that’s talked about! Again, I can’t believe you sit there all day so poised and calm looking. I know this is dumb but I wish I could send you a big comfortable pillow and blanket! I think that’s because when I have a hard day that’s the best part for me getting into bed. If everyone on this website could send you things to make you more comfortable they wouldn’t fit in the building! I can’t even read all of the posts on this page that are supporting you! There’s support from all over the country! Take good care of yourself!

    Lots of prayers and good thoughts coming your way!
    Danielle

  576. Jodi, I am so sorry that your life has been turned into a tv drama before the whole world. I think that is shameful that CNN HLN, Nancy Grace, and DR Drew are profiting from your trial.

  577. Jodi,
    I know you must be going through such a tough time right now. Just know that you have a lot of support out here. Keep your head up high & continue to do just as you have been doing. You are great, wonderful, beautiful, intelligent & most of all you are loved. No matter what the outcome please remember this & don’t let what you’re going through at this moment in time define you or who you want to become.

  578. I could write you support all day every day Jodi. Keep your head up and know that you are not alone. I can only speak for myself but I am on your side. ♥ AmyMarie

  579. Girl, you have friends! And the people who support you are smart, witty, insightful, kind, and generous of heart. There may be a lot more pro-prosecution sites online, but they are visited by a bunch of barely-literate mouth-breathers. It’s really quite amazing, actually. Anyway, keep up the good work. It’s a treat to see you so poised and confident in court (especially because there’s just so much MARTINEZ in there).

  580. Hi Jodi,I hope that you are feeling a little better,no one should have to endure what you are going through.My heart goes out to you and you have been an amazing person in the last few weeks,I cant imagine what you are thinking,stand strong girl and you will prevail,your defence team is awesome.You are intelligent and beautiful and you have the rest of your life ahead of you,just a few more steps till the day you are free.GOD BLESS YOU JODI.

  581. Just a Canadian supporter, I understand everything Jodi has attempted to iterate during this ridiculous trial, and the blatant disregard of Ms. Arias as a victim of this man’s abuse, especially psychological is absolutely disgusting.
    How a man is unable to understand the ramifications of his actions to a woman of Jodi’s loyalty and confused love is beyond me. Perhaps the prosecution and media have only ever had one relationship (collectively). Regardless.. as a man, I understand the impressionability that perceived love can have on a woman, especially one who has had the background of Ms. Arias, and cannot hold her in any way guilty or unjustified due to her supposed actions. This man lied to her, essentially raping her for years.. knowingly. Her willingness to perform acts in the bedroom, many of which there is pages of evidence supporting her wishes not to participate in, and the verbal plying of Travis to achieve her “consent” should be viewed no differently than if he had dosed her with Ativan or Scopolamine throughout their interactions.
    To me she appears a “good” girl, a kind lover and a selfless human being. That said.. you can only push a person so far before they seize a chance at power and humiliate you the way they’ve been humiliated for years.. years with no help.. and no friends who cared enough to see that Jodi was truly in trouble.

    Much love Jodi. My heart and mind will be with you as often as you need them.

    I’m sure I’ll receive hate for this.. and if it can take some of the burden off of your back, I’ll take it all.

  582. Hi Jodi I really hope this thing works out for you, I stand by you, and pray for you Be Victorious and be positive we love you, I know it’s hard but hang in there .

  583. Beautiful Jodi,

    My heart wrenched for you yesterday, I can’t imagine what its like to have that damned doctor saying all this bullshit about you in front of everyone, just shut your ears to it, think of all of us here and how much we all love and support you. Never doubt how truly lovely you are, Never. I look at the photos of you before all this happened and you will get back there again, you will, I would love to see that beautiful smile on your face again. You WILL get your life back, just hang in there..

    We all LOVE YOU JODI, especially ME! 🙂 xxxx

  584. Jodi:
    You are very beautiful & i fully support you. I believe you are innocent. I believe you were treated very badly by travis, he even looks mean in his photos. Good luck today. I hope your feeling better. I am team jodi!!!!! I would love to write to you and become a friend to you. I hate the way HLN depicts you, im constantly yeling @ my television. They dont know what you went thru & how travis treated you. Im rooting for you every day! Keep your chin up, the future will be brighter for you. Im your # 1 supporter. Go team jodi
    best wishes to you love
    Denyse, sacramento, ca

  585. Hi Jodi, You are in my thoughts and prayers. I understand the situation you were in completely. I too was in a horribly abusive relationship . I know you will be fine. God is watching over you. All my love and support, Jessie

  586. I decided to write another comment because I’m just so infuriated. I keep thinking about when you had the freaking police called on you as a child. That’s how you scar your children not punish them. It makes me feel like your parents didn’t care that much for you. Honestly, my brother was caught (by my parents) growing pot in a baby wipe container when he was about that age. He was grounded and that was the extent of his punishment. He never tried to grow it again. I seriously can not picture any loving parent calling the police on their child for such a small problem when you’re a child. That is insane. Then your parents are like, we can’t trust her and she never tells us anything….. Probably because they’ll over react? I believe they searched your room and didn’t trust you, its pretty obvious with the calling the police. Then the media tries to paint you as a horrible person because you did something that millions of people do everyday. You were even a minor. I know its illegal but children do break the rules from time to time. Grown adults do it. Her parents should of taken a different approach to punishing her if they wanted her to feel safe being honest with her.

  587. Jodi:
    Im sitting here watching the trial & i cant stand this witness jeanne something or other, she has no idea what abused women go thru.shes acting like a know it all, & actually she doesnt know shit!!!! I was abused by men, by my father, & how dare jodis parents throwing there own daughter under the bus. Im just livid over that! & the whole pot thing is so stupid, most every1 has done that! Its not that big of deal anymore. Keep ur head high, u have people who support u as i do! U deserve lots of hugs & kisses!
    go team jodi!
    Denyse

  588. Hey Jodie:

    I was wondering if your defence team looked over the video from April 17’s court. At the end, the Judge waived for Martinez to approach her and then it showed the two of them laughing. Since they are both being paid by the state, I thought this to be very unprofessional.

    Try and keep the faith, as hard as it may be.

    Dale

  589. Jodi we love & support u. My mom is 80 yrs old & watches daily. She’s on ur side. Hang tough!
    Set Jodi arias free!

  590. Hey there Jodi,

    Just got done watching the trial today…anyone with a brain can tell that the Prosecution’s expert witness is ignoring information that would help you and your lawyer did a great job of showing that. Stay strong sweetheart. Love you

  591. Hi Jodi,
    I hope and pray you are set free. Hang in there and stay strong. Your trial is looking more in your favor every time I catch up on it. Each day of testimony makes your defense look stronger. You will be in my prayers. Ed

  592. I wish you could remember what happened. I wish you didnt have to carry that inside you. You are so brave. I think you are going to make the best of your life and those around you. Please Jodi, pray. You need to be free. Pray to be released, to be free.
    Patty

  593. Dear Jodi Ann,

    After your 18 days on the stand, I feel like I know you on a soul level. Without disclosing too much about myself, I believe I understand you as a person, and your actions, better than anyone else possibly could. You are someone who simply loves too much. You love so much that it consumes you and nearly kills you when it turns sour. I get that. You are a passionate person in all that you do – that is evident in your beautiful art work and in your writing style. Also, I must state the obvious: YOU are a beautiful girl, inside and out, and smart too, and NO ONE can ever take that away from you! So don’t forget that! You stay strong honey, and no matter what the outcome of your trial, please know know that there are those of us who will always support you and love you unconditionally. xox

  594. JODI, From what I have gleaned throughout this travesty that has been placed upon you is that YOU are truly a wonderful, loving, giving and compassionate young lady who, unfortunately, met someone who was less than deserving of YOUR beauty both inside and outside. HANG IN THERE JODI. YOU SHALL OVERCOME THIS AS GOOD ALWAYS TRIUMPHS OVER EVIL!

  595. And one more thing: Have you noticed in the media all the interviews with people saying they saw “something in Jodi’s eyes”? Like she had a blank stare, one that “looked right through you”, one that was something “pure evil”? Well, try as I may, I fail to see anything even remotely evil or blank in her eyes. Quite the contrary, her eyes are very expressive and show life and passion. Anyone who thinks they see anything else in those beautiful eyes is just jumping on the media bandwagon and are completely gullible.

  596. I have been praying for you, Jodi and I am confident today will be a good day!!!!

    Stay strong! Be good to yourself and know that with all these comments….you are loved!

    Ave Maria!! God Be with you and Bless you <3

    Peace & Love
    Love & Light

    Jean

  597. Hey there Jodi,

    Thought I would share the lyrics of a song that helps me get through a tough day. Hope these words will make today just a little bit easier for you honey.

    “Angel” Lyrics:
    Spend all your time waiting
    for that second chance
    for a break that would make it okay
    there’s always some reason
    to feel not good enough
    and it’s hard at the end of the day
    I need some distraction
    oh a beautiful release
    memory seeps from my veins
    let me be empty
    oh and weightless and maybe
    I’ll find some peace tonight

    In the arms of the angel
    fly away from here
    from this dark cold hotel room
    and the endlessness that you fear
    you are pulled from the wreckage
    of your silent reverie
    you’re in the arms of the angel
    may you find some comfort here

    So tired of the straight life
    and everywhere you turn
    there’s vultures and thieves at your back
    the storm keeps on twisting
    you keep on building the lies
    that you make up for all that you lack
    it don’t make no difference
    escaping one last time
    it’s easier to believe
    in this sweet madness oh
    this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

    In the arms of the angel
    fly away from here
    from this dark cold hotel room
    and the endlessness that you fear
    you are pulled from the wreckage
    of your silent reverie
    you’re in the arms of the angel
    may you find some comfort here
    you’re in the arms of the angel
    may you find some comfort here

  598. The hardest thing to believe is that you didn’t remember what happened, but the psychiatrist convinced me that was possible. You do not know what happened, but the forensics say what happened.

    The angle of the back wounds say he was stabbed 11 times over the shoulder with the left hand and once holding the knife in the right hand. The angle of one wound was 90 degrees to the rest. That stab was with the right hand.

    They were all shallow stabs, as if to say, “Get off me!”

    When you dropped the camera, he became angry and attacked you out of the shower, tackling you around the waist, driving you to the sink. He left the knife beside the bed or in the bathroom, you said. The knife was on the sink on your right side. You grabbed it with your right hand and stabbed once into his exposed back as he tackled you around the waist. Then you switched to your left. All the stabs were shallow, as if to say, “Get off me.”

    The angle of the back wounds say you stabbed him in the back and the back of the head as he held you around the waist tackling you like a linebacker, holding you against the sink.

    He backed off and said, “I am going to kill you bitch.” You stabbed him in the chest, deep, which was a fatal wound. You stepped put of the way and he leaned to the sink where his blood came out on the sink.

    He turned to take the knife. There was a fight as he backed down the hall. You stabbed and kicked, fighting for your life. He was greatly weakened by the first chest stab and could not get the knife away from you, though he tried. He collapsed. You got on top of him and cut his throat. All instinctive, fighting for your life. You dragged him back to the bathroom. Then you went and got a gun, either from your luggage (your grandmother’s gun), or his gun. It doesn’t matter. You shot him in the head from above, after he was dead.

    I believe you did not remember because if you had remembered what happened, it was pure self defense.

    • I agree….the only the thing the jury can do is find her innocent as she should be found. Stay strong Jodi. <3

      • At first the sentiments were swinging in her favor. Now that the press has done so much to destroy her, the sentiments are beginning to swing against her. The only way she can be saved is with cold hard facts. The cold hard fact that can save her is the angle of the stabs in the back. The angle of the wounds shows she stabbed him over the shoulder while he was tackling her around the waist. It shows that she made one shallow stab with her right hand, switched hands and made the rest of the shallow wounds with the knife in her left hand.

        Had she attacked him from the rear, which is what I originally thought happened, the back wounds would be deep and they would be vertical, because when you hold a knife as though you are stabbing someone in the back, the blade is vertical, and you wouldn’t stab shallow. Yet, if he is tackling her and she stabs him over his shoulder with her left hand, the wounds be at the angle we see; but one wound is 90 degrees different from the rest.

        That proves she stabbed him from over the shoulder because that one wound would be with her right hand. She wouldn’t change the angle of the stabs, since they were all at the same angle but one, she would have changed the knife to her other hand.

        She said he left the knife in the bathroom or beside the bed. If it was in the bathroom, it would be on the sink. She saw it on her right side after he tackled her to the sink, and she grabbed it with her right hand. She made one stab then switched hands. All the stabs were shallow because she was trying to get him off, and also, it would be hard to stab deeper from over his shoulder, whereas it would be hard to stab shallow if she had attacked him from the back.

        Don’t just cheer her on, get this theory out to the defense!!! It will save her, the physics of the angles cannot be argued with. They tell only one story, which is self defense. And she made the case that he was capable of this kind of anger-driven impulsive action.

        She did take the gun from her grandmother, but only for protection. She did use the gas cans, but she always traveled with gas cans across the desert. She did rent the car in a way to hide her trip, but it was because so many friends on his side disapproved of it. The angle of the stabs proves in that moment it was self defense. She didn’t make the fatal stab until he backed off and said, “I’m going to kill you, bitch.”

        She couldn’t remember but parts of what happened because she isn’t building her defense around this story; but she remembers he tackled her, she remembered he said, “I am going to kill you”, and she stated that he left the knife used to cut the rope by the bed or in the bathroom, without knowing it would be absolutely crucial to this story.

        • What you have to understand though that this is such a high profile case that I can guarantee you the jury is sequestered. Which means they have seen no news coverage of this trial…so the media will not play a role. Don’t you worry Jodi, you will be found innocent honey…then you can go back to being the Princess you always were.

        • I agree totally, thats what I’ve said all along but HOW do we get it to her attorneys???

  599. hey jodi,sandy here again, just wanted to tell you i just dropped a postcard in th mail 4u. don’t know when you’ll get it though. i know they only allow you so much mail per day. hope your doing well and you are in my thoughts every day! take care jodi! fondly, sandy

  600. Hey there Jodi,

    Another piece of mail is on it’s way along with a way to get ahold of me hon. If you need anything to make your time there more comfortable let me know…I will be happy to put some money in an account for you so you can get some comforts like coffee, candy, or anything else that makes you happy sweetheart.

    xoxo

  601. Your biggest hurdle on the premeditation accusation is the gas cans. People in the cities can not fathom why anyone would carry extra gas in the trunk. Your attorneys will have to show that you aren’t the only one who does this and it is NOT an abnormal thing to do. In fact, it is recommended for survival if your car breaks down in the desert. Here are some sources to back that up:

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/07/05/1102358/-Travel-in-a-Desert

    Here’s what I learned:

    Gas stations, when you can find them are often closed and don’t always have pay-at-the-pump options so you can still pump gas when they are closed. Top your tank at every opportunity. And have at least 5 gallons of gas in a gas can for those times when you run out of gas before the next accessible station.

    ————————————————————————————————————————

    http://www.caldrive.com/desert.html

    You can never have too much gas or water in the desert. Deserts actually get
    quite cold during the night; in winter the temperatures can go well below freezing.

    ————————————————————————————————————————

    http://www.desertusa.com/mag07/nov07/desertsurvival.html

    Since many problems in the desert start with a car that breaks down due to ill repair, be prepared for everything. Make sure your car is in good condition with good hoses, a spare tire, spare fan belts, necessary tools, extra gas, water and oil. A tune-up is wise prior to offroad adventures. Using a mechanic who is informed about the proper maintenance of an offroad vehicle is a wise choice. Make sure your gasoline tank is full, and bring extra fuel.

  602. Hi Jodi, Ive watched a lot of your trial and I just wanted you to know that unless someone understands what it is like to grow up unvalidated and set aside and experiences a relationship with someone who is into crazy making games (TA) (Jekly and Hyde, on and off, hot and cold, silent treatment, cynical remarks, etc) they dont get what that is like and how they pull you back right when you are actually okay with leaving. They dont understand the charisma these indivdiuals have and how this plays out. I went to grad school for psych and see it and I think many others do as well, some just will never admit it. Just hope you realize some of us understand the dynamics at work that created the situation. Realize you deserved better, be truthful now in what happened, and stay strong. You are resilient. JA is just a man as was TA,…just a man. Sending a hug to you girl. L

    • A travesty.
      Jodi, I was an extremely battered woman. I also am a well-published writer who has won or placed in prestigious awards. PLEASE allow me to interview, and write your story. I only knew to write about the abuse in a journal because a domestic violence advocate encouraged me. Many women of your age do not know the name for the mistreatment and degradation that is called domestic violence.

      And she or he who has NEVER lied, let he or she inject the death chemicals. A pathetic Travis groupie earlier in the day, said she never cried. After the verdict she was crying with glee, and then went on to say, I guess I lied. I suppose that woman is never to be believed ever again because she lied,

      please, please write back. It would be my contribution to young women: to name the behavior and get help to young women whose self-respect and boundaries are not fully formed, before the toxicity builds to such a deadly level.

      Kindly,
      C.D. Runyon

      Of course, my prayers. I have ptsd, and dissociative aspects, so I really get it. People do not understand how something as small as dropping a camera can incite the abuser to break a jaw, choke a woman, bend her arm until she can never use it properly again. People do not understand how long it takes to put the sequence of events into an order that makes sense, and how sometimes, a battered woman will not remember until she is faced with a certain motion, smell, or activity. I get it.

  603. Another victim of intrigue, hypocrisy, abuse of power, suggestive perceptions, and the complete absence of perspective. It is in this world known to us. Regrettably, the extreme results that this can bring.

    Jodi may have worked herself into trouble; it makes her not necessarily a cold-blooded killer. The lethal effect of an atomic bomb is gone off, because there are many others have worked to it for long time. The explosion is the result, the guilty are the creators.

    In this world people consume each other, as if it would pass. Projectiles and popcorn
    Same world demands opposite an infinite tolerance, unfortunately that also finite.
    If the cat is trapped, the rats dancing, it is as old as humanity itself.

    Each success was failure in advance. The requirement to become an artist is the amateur landscape. Who does nothing makes no mistakes. We learn nothing if we do not commit blunders. Figments of “success is a must” and “failure is taboo”, has brought many people to crazy things. Every life is simply one of trial and error.

    This page had never may existed, unfortunately, it is not otherwise. For everything I’ve picked up from the media and internet, it seems unlikely to me that – Jodi – is an evil character. On the contrary, what – Jodi – in quotes in her blog chronicled, tends not to have a negative personality. Jodi had the misfortune – like all of us – to be a human being with constraints.

    It is only prudent to judge what is good or bad. Only the universe knows the true facts. Communities act from established rules and perceptions, the views and the results are often very relative; imperfect as the assessor himself.

    For those who still believe in the good of Jodi, take her in your prayers. And what the outcome may be, it is also better to think in love over the other, than to run after negativity.

    Jodi, keep up Girl, the world is learning,

  604. The Jodi Arias defense team will ask Judge Sherry K. Stephens to rule on a request for lesser charges when court convenves on Tuesday. The Defense team will also bring in a surrebuttal witness to refute prosecution witness, Janeen DeMarte, testimony where she stated Arias does NOT suffer from PTSD and is NOT a battered woman, but instead has a borderline personality disorder.

    Two jurors have already been excused from jury duty in the Arias trial, and with only four alternates remaing, there is very strong possibility the jury will be reduced to less than the mandatory 12 jurors and the judge would be forced to declare a mistrial.

  605. Your looking thin, are u eating? i hope so. What I want to know is did u have memories of shootig him or were you told you did that? and if so how often were you told this? and by whom?

  606. Hi Jodi:

    I think that your defence team is doing a marvelous job. People that have not been in your position do not understand the lengths people will go to, to please someone they love deeply. I am sorry that your child hood was one of non-nurturing. Especially a girl. When a girl does not have a loving father, they tend to look for that love elsewhere, therefore wanting to please the one that they fall in love.

    Been there, done that.

    Keep strong!

  607. Dearest Jodi,I don”t know why i cant find my former prayer post to you here Sweetheart. I really hope you got it. You are so beautiful & so very important to so very many of us who recognize you for the precious soul you are. I pray that the jury members have the insight to identify the rich spirited, talented, and pure hearted young woman we have all come to know and love like a little sister. You have also created another family for us all, one that you have brought together in this cause to see you through this terrible injustice, the one you endured for years while being subjected to a roller coaster ride by the man you were investing and so freely giving of yourself to, who possessed no worthy intentions of reciprocating the love and respect you so generously & whole- heartedly gave to him and now at the hands of an abusive prosecutor. I have come to suspect that JM acts with such a vengeance due to the fact that he personally identifies with the abusive characteristics of the man your defense team has exposed as well as those AL has spent years identifying and treating the victims of, as well as the perpetrators themselves. I see a very bitter & hostile man who has been allowed by a judge representig a judicial system which is sorely misfocused on you, thus inflicting even more abuse upon you. Her courtroom is out of control, her rulings as biased as the network that televises the trial. Of course maybe she is more intimidated & fearful than to place the limitations on JM that she sets upon your defense teams and defense wittnesses. This trial needs a stronger judge, as this one has so obviously allowed the state of AZ to turn via JM to turn into a goat show. I am in Louisiana on central time. I mentally convert the time now thinking, well Jodi is getting up now & trying to prepare herself for transport to trial..I eat & feel guilty wondering if you are hungry & knowing that you are. These things flow through my heart & mind constantly. Please know that they are both focused on you & sending prayers to Our father in Jesus’s Holy Name.And when i bless my food i pray for you seeing and knowing how pale & thin you progressively are becoming. Im waiting for the trial to begin & am with you in the Lord & spirit. All my love to you precious angel~ Love, Trudy & family.

  608. Jodi:

  609. Hi Jodi:

    It is often said that a girl looks for a man that is often the same type as their father. Because at a younger age that is what they see and learn from. I don’t believe that a girl deliberately looks for all of the bad traits that her father had, but somehow believe that sub consciously they are drawn to or attract that type of person.

    Jodi, I will send you a sketching pad and some great oil pencils or water colour pencils, if you would do me one of your beautiful drawings. I have bid on a couple of them, but to no avail, as I am on disability, I could not match some of the offers. That is not saying that I would not offer more if I had it. I just don’t have it. The most that I came up with was $325.00 and unfortunately that was too late for one picture and not enough for another.

    I have the address of the jail that you are unfortunately in. Is this something that they would let you have?

    Keep the faith.

  610. Hi Jodi:

    I don’t want to undermine anything that your defence team is doing, but with some of the witnesses stating what they saw and what they heard……if I had been on your defence team, I would have asked every witness that was testifying against you……after their testimony……if any of them were with you and Travis behind closed doors. I am a bit surprised that this question was not asked at the end of each testimony as the last question……to remain on the minds of the jury.

    Also, all of the “so called” experts….are saying that if your defence team, in their closing arguments has to show some empathy and sympathy for Travis and his family or they will lose the jury. I don’t need to tell them their job……just a comment I thought you should know.

    I do not believe for one moment that the jury has not gone home and watched some TV, listened to the radio, gone onto the websites…….and if they had…..does the Judge really think that they are going to admit to it.

    Under these circumstances, I still feel that your defence team is doing a marvelous job and show that they are definitely working hard for your acquittal.

    In Canada, in such a similiar case, the jury would have been sequestered, because that way the defendant would receive a fair trial and I don’t believe that you are getting one with the jurors running loose every day.

  611. i really want to know why, mr alexander who was doing as well as he was, had roommates to help pay his rent, jodi and gal pals paid their own way. why was he using an ex girlfriends computer? where is his? and did anyone look at the harddrive on his phone if he has a smart phone its all there his personal visuals. can someone pass this on to the attorny’s. this isnt right, we all have personal computers i have three so how can this man not have any?

    • Yes and stll borrowing money from Jody and who knows what other women, not much of a man if you ask me. He used women and was a womanizer period, he just hid it and his private life from his friends. He did not want them to know how sorry he was. Look down at the remark a Marcy made,that should not have gotton on here and this site. Someone did not monitor that remark, she needs OUT OF HERE and that remark to be gone! Jody sems like always worked and had a job!

  612. JODI, The truth is on your side and never forget that. Keep faith in the one true god and all shall-and-will be okay. You shall prevail!

  613. Dear Jodi Arias,

    I want you to know that I am continuing to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I tweet about your case quite often on my twitter account ( https://twitter.com/Ed12261973 ) and I sometimes fancy that you’re aware of my tweets, but I’m sure that that could only be wishful thinking on my part. Just remember that I remain staunchly in your corner, and I hope and trust that you will be able to pull through this tragic situation and put all of your troubles and woes in the past in the very near future as I believe you definitely deserve the right to do.

    Sincerely yours,
    Edward Hieronymus

  614. Jodi,
    Last night as I put my daughter to bed and she was saying her prayers as most nights you were included in them. She was asking God to show peoples hearts how to love you and to make them stop saying bad things about you because NO ONE is suppose to treat a LADY that way. She prayed that soon you will be able to walk in the sun and meet a man who will treat you like a princess so you can have a little girl of your own because she would be pretty like Jodi is.
    She first saw you on television and began asking if she could send you pictures she drew. It amazes me how smart a child is and how dumb some adults are.
    Sweety keep STRONG!!! You have so many people who support you and care about you!! I also pray for you nightly that God gives you the strength each day to sit there in that court room because if that were me sitting there Lord knows that I would not be able to stay as calm as you do in the face of all the prosecutions lies!!! You are my HERO!!!!
    All my LOVE sweet Girl!!
    Jennifer

  615. Jodi….I’ve been following your trial and you are in my thoughts daily. What worries me is that the jury is seeing all the crap on HLN nightly. I don’t think for one minute that the “arm chair” so called “experts” aren’t influencing the jury (who you know are watching and demonizing you). If nothing else, however, this nightly assassination of you and deliberate misrepresentation of the evidence should give your attorneys grounds for mistrial if it comes to that. I pray that God will be with you. It has been obvious to me that you have been used and abused since you were young. What loving parent calls the cops on their child for a lousy pot plant. They abandoned you years ago. And then you put your heart out there for TA and he stomped all over it. We all have our limits. He was an abuser and user of the worst kind. Insidious and sneaky. He lied to you, the world and worst of all to God who will judge us all. May God be with you Jodi and I pray your life will be spared and you will be able to have love and happiness in the future.

  616. We left those people our view, on website above and hope you have good luck in getting out. We believe he was the player and playing everybody and about to move to the next victim. There are a lot of people out there that want to critisize you, but not us. We love you, you are a beautiful person and your art work is great, you have a beautiful voice and have great talent. I have got so mad at old Juan Martinez, I could have jumped through the T.V. and just slapped him. He is an idiot. So chin up girl, my son is in TDC and he will be out soon. We hope you are also! From TEXAS with love for you. We are TEAM JODI!

    • Well what are you doing on here then??? This is for Jody not anti! Why did they not catch you and boot you out!

  617. Jodi, Although I dont know you personally I want to commend you for all I have seen of you on tv lately.
    You have remained poised and calm in what is your own nightmare come to life. I admire you for that and for how brave you appear to be throughout all of this. Dont ever forget Jodi, your smarter than most,
    thats obvious, and its what you posess that will set you free regardless of anything that is imposed upon
    you. Stay strong!

  618. The Medical Examiner is not telling the truth on at least two matters.

    1) He has not handled 100 – 200 cal. 25 fatal gunshot wounds to the head.

    2) During the autopsy after lengthy decomposition the Brain Matter would have been like dissolved jello.
    So the M.E. would not have been able to track the path of the bullet that involved the BRAIN. His Statement today 4/25/13 was at best conjecture and at worst his attempt to support the prosecutions case. In short, he LIED.

    I base these opinions on over 25 years of law enforcement, homicide investigation and attending many autopysies.

  619. One more comment : WAL-MART after 5 years, baloney. I returned items to Wal-Mart and instead of using the correct code sometimes they have just entered garden item ( for a hose I returned). It would be telling if any item was returned that matched the price and tax to automotive on that day.

  620. The trial is ending and you may not get this but we have been watching closely and we are questioning the gas issue in favor of you. By our calculations unless you had rented a vehicle that got 35 mpg you would not have been able to travel from Pasadena to Mesa to Phoenix to Salt Lake City without refueling.

    This is of course a key issue.

    PLEASE READ,
    Drew

  621. I watch the trial daily and you do have supporters across the country as you can see here. I saw your grandmother in court and it bothers me she has to be subject to what is being done to you. My prayers are with you and your family.

  622. Jodi,
    I would normally never do anything like this but it is weighing heavy on my heart to extend my apologies to you for your situation. I must first say that but for the grace of God I am not in your position. I began watching your trial as a victim of the most of the same treatment you received from Travis, the only major difference between you and myself is that I am African American and have children. My mistakes name was Shaun. Shaun was the life of the party and he was very good at making everyone believe he was a perfect man and companion. We were together for five years and for all of them everyone that knew him believed I was crazy, and an obsessive liar. People would even ask him if I had him tied up and in the basement if they had not talked to him in a couple of days. There were many times I got into arguments with his sisters and mother because of the things he had done to me and turned around to make is seem like I was the one at fault. Even his coworkers believed his lies about me and my self esteem diminished more the longer I stayed with him. In the beginning I thought he was the perfect one for me. He made me laugh, he helped me with my children and he seemed to understand the problems I had experienced throughout my life with abuse and neglect from my family. Although I still had a strained relationship with my mother, we never had a real bond, my grandmother raised me because my mother treated me like trash for her men and she was never around to care about what I went through as a child. I began to experiment with drugs at an early age and my mother would always say that I was evil and tell others that I was the reason she left me so much. These types of parents will never own up to their faults, it will always be easier to say it is the child than to admit they were selfish and mean, abusive and neglectful. It is so unfortunate we can’t pick them. I am certain this is why I was a target for someone like him. I did everything for him, I gave up my life literally, everything he asked I did without a question and after about three years he began to take me for granted and started to really show me he didn’t want me for anything but for what I could give him, not for who I was. I gave him reign over my kids and got engaged to him even though he was verbally and mentally abusive because he somehow made me believe no one would want me but him. Sex with him was tedious, but I wanted someone to love me. He wanted me to do things that I would never think of and at times I felt physically ill because of some of the things I agreed to do just so he would stay. I felt dependent upon him in the worst way and he knew it. The forth year he began to use physical force when I would rebel against his wishes. I no longer wanted to do those things he wanted sexually and he started to threaten me with other women, speaking to his old girlfriends on facebook and being totally dismissive toward my feelings. At the end we fought a lot. I would put him out and he would beg to come back, but told everyone he knew thought he was leaving me because I was crazy. I would fall for his lies telling me he would not treat me that way again and he would be fine for a couple of months and go back to the same things. I began to think of ways to get rid of him for good. He wanted me to rent a car and visit his grandmother in another state. I was in school and couldn’t take off but I agreed because I thought I could leave him there and go on with my life. Before that could happen we got into an argument and I asked him to leave, he refused and I put his things on the porch, when he went out to get them I locked the door and he began to kick it down. When I opened the door to stop him from destroying it he rushed in grabbed my hair and started to hit me. My 15 year old daughter grabbed a knife and threated to stab him if he didn’t let me go, he went to attack her to get the knife away, I grabbed two kitchen knives and put them at his throat while he was bending over her and he then turned around and started to fight with me to get them away, he was over me on the floor when my 18 year old stabbed him in the back. It was just a flesh wound but he told his family, friends and coworkers that we all attacked him and stabbed him, however he didn’t leave, no one thought that was strange, they believed it was us that started the fight. We had another argument and this time I threw things at him and smacked him screaming for him to leave. He was saying some of the most horrible things and throwing in my face how much of a whore and idiot I was , and how his other women were much better. I somehow caught myself and called the police and they escorted him from my home. I am sure that if my kids weren’t there I would have killed him. I had never felt so mistreated, used and abused, in addition, I was afraid that he would eventually kill me and say that I attacked him. He began harassing me and I got numbers changed, and eventually had to move, I knew it would either be him or me and to this day, a year and a half later I sleep with a gun under my pillow just in case he finds me. There are so many stories involved with my experience that I can’t tell them all, but I want you to know that I believe you. That type of man will always appear to be someone in the face of his people and another behind closed doors with his mate. I will never believe that Travis was as perfect as people say he was, everyone has flaws, I know why you taped him saying such disgusting things about young girls, to show and prove the predator he really was. It’s funny that a pedophile can’t say such things and get away with them but he can. I believe you were abused, I believe you were abused, I believe you were abused, and God knows what you have been through. Many of Shaun’s friends still think I am evil, and crazy, but he goes through my emails and facebook to try to contact me because I won’t speak to him.. If you are guilty of anything it is trusting in someone and loving someone that was not good enough for you. I wish you all the best and I am praying for you. I know in my heart things will turn out for the best, keep your head up. After everything I went through I am still a Psychology student today and understand clearly now that Shaun was the person with the personality disorder, not me. I believe one day you will find your way and all of this will be a terrible memory. God Bless you.

      • Thank you Edward,
        I look at Jodi’s story with tears in my eyes and a sick feeling in my gut. I wish there was some way I could talk to her and tell her that her life is not in vain and even though she has been through hell she will one day be vindicated. What’s sad is that I still hold anger and hurt for the years I lost and the abuse my children witnessed. I have told them a thousand times how sorry I am for everything I put them through. Some nights I can’t sleep, I never have my windows open and every noise has me to jump up looking out the window and throughout the house for that man. My God how I feel sorry for her, but I am glad that at least she knows he will never be able to hurt or destroy the spirit of another beautiful young woman. Me and my kids discuss her story and what my daughters say is that he got what he deserved. I tell them that it is unfortunate he had to lose his life but sometimes that’s the only way to stop that type of person. I don’t understand how women can say the things they do about her, I only believe it’s because they have lived a charmed and sheltered life and do not know any better. Even if she doesn’t get out (I pray she does) I will write her too give her as much support as possible. I truly feel in my heart she does not deserve such treatment. I applaud her strength, I know how it feels to laugh when you want to cry, to sing when you want to scream, and to still have hope even though it seems like there is none. I am still overcoming my experiences, so I know hers will follow her for the rest of her life. Thank you for your concern, and I wish Gods speed to you and her as well.

  623. Jodi,
    I am sorry your life has been so hard. Only you and God know what happened that awful day. I pray for you and for travis’ family. I hope you find peace no matter what the trial outcome is. Only God can judge no one else. I am sorry for all the awful things people say about you, it’s life people make mistakes. Keep your faith strong and you will get thru this.

  624. Every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.
    At least 15 people in this world love you.
    The only reason someone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. There are at least 2 people in this world that would die for you.
    You mean the world to someone.
    Someone that you don’t even know exists loves you.
    When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
    When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a closer look.
    Always remember the compliments you’ve received.
    Forget the rude remarks.
    You are Beautiful and YOU ARE LOVED….♥

  625. The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity. – Ulysses S. Grant

  626. I can not believe this has not ended in a mistrial yet. Jodi you loved too much and got burned. HLN is making so much money off you and does not present a balanced approach….stepping on those shelves etc. Dr. D thinks checking a facebook account is stalking….get real. I can not wait for the sur rebuttal and closing. Your defense team is doing a great job so far. If you can’t wright a book and profit then HLN shouldn’t either. It would be nice if the jury went for jury nullification.

  627. We have been watching the trial from the beginning and we believe 100% in your innocence. Don’t pay attention to all the lies and haters out there. Any woman in your situation would have done the exact same thing. Men have to stop treating us like sex objects and then throw us away when they are finished. We are hoping and praying that you are set free soon. BTW your artwork is amazing! Have you ever thought of doing pets?

  628. I believe that the defence should have filed a mistrial based on the fact that the jury is not being sequestered!!!! Who in their right mind believes this jury is not going home everyday watching all that crap on HLN??? And talking with family and friends about it.. THis is totally an appeal just waiting to happen. I am amazed a trial of this magnatude allows the jury to leave and go home everyday and weekend. And I believe Jodi should sue HLN they are suppose to present the news, not become judge and jury!! They have had Jodi guilty from the first day and will not listen to any evidence that supports her defence, in fact they don’t even show any thing that supports the defense, they just leave all that out and keep replaying the procutitions side. Shame on HLN!! all the host on that news show should be ashamed of the way they have taken sides and presented this trial. And I just want to ask them if they have a 12 year old daughted do they think she should be having orgasmns??????? Much less sex??? The trial is almost over and it will be up to the jury, think about it, if all us are on her side there has to be at least one juror with some common sense!

  629. Hey Jodi,Hang in there girl,I have never met you,yet I feel that I somehow know you.I hate all the crap that has been spewed out about you by HLN and the haters,you are a beautiful young woman that has been treated in a bad way and you did what you thought was the only way out of the situation at that moment,I believe in you and I hope that you are set free soon,I pray every night for you.Jodi how ever this turns out,keep the faith and you will triump.

  630. Jodi – I refuse to think in terms of.. and go resolutely for it, that this, ever can come in handy. The last week I played with an idea, to put, this statement behind your elbows.
    If ever get, your artistic website down.

    I’m Developer and I can set up – ASP NET – web-applications, starting from 0.
    It is a strong, reliable work environment.
    We have the design, totally into own hands.
    Almost anything is possible in this web environment.
    The only thing you have to do is dream and speak.

    The admins of this site have my mail-address.
    Just open your mouth and ask them! 😀

    So, Jodi, as you yourself, I choose direct action in silence and serenity.
    This statement counts only for your artistic website, because that’s you;
    Integer, confident, spiritually and artistically. And, in reading your last tweet
    a empathic soul too.

    If you’re reading this, save it in one of your brain cells and don’t loss it!

    Jodi -:-D
    Remain good, a Girl …
    Eat good ‘and many !
    Wash you good, behind your ears …. 😀

    Everything should be fine!

    Jodi – Stay strong

  631. Jodi will need an experieced APPEALS LAWYER. There are numerous issues for appeal in this trial. Starting with the close association between the Prosecutor, Judge and so called lead DEFENSE ATTORNEY.
    You can tell that the Lead Defense Attorney just stopped being a PUBLIC DEFENDER because he still has the defeated and overworked bearing of a Public Defender.
    I will bet this is his 1st BIG MURDER TRIAL.
    The Judge did not do Jodi any favor when she failed to appoint a qualified DEATH PENALTY experieced DEFENSE TEAM. The Judge has also allowed the Prosecution to run roughshod over the DEFENSE.

  632. Dear Jodi,
    Your defense is looking really really good. I think now, more than ever, that you have a better than great chance of a favorable outcome. My thoughts are with your entire defense team. I think Jennifer and Kurt are still doing an excellent job. Stay strong.
    Ed

  633. JODI< YOU ARE A VERY STRONG AND VERY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY! AND KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLDTHAT SUPPORT—AND WHOLLY BELIEVE—IN YOU! YOU SHALL BE VICTORIOUS!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry about all of the capitals–it's just that I am 100% convinced of your innocence. and truly believe that you had to fight for your life.) STAY STRONG!!!!!!!!

  634. u know jodi, i’m a battered woman & i PLANNED MY ABUSERS DEATH. i wanted to gut him like a hog. instead i PRAYED MY WAY OUT. i believe he abused you to level where killing him was an option. i do understand. i pray u r freed soon. amen.

    i’ve noticed when men kill us people may lament or/& blame us but they never blame men the way they blame us.

  635. Jodi, I will hoping all the best for you in the coming days. Keep your chin up. You are in my prayers.

  636. Jodi, remember you are not alone.
    Many are with you in mind …
    We will follow you, day by day !

    Whatever the outcome may be,
    We will not let you.
    We will not give up on you,

    Try this night to rest well because this week begins the witch hunt again.

    Let you, not provoke
    Keep aside in your tweets, pantyhose horny suckers will always exist.

    Jodi, you are a sweet girl, but tame your temper.
    They still use it only to you.

    Stay straight and chin up.
    Stay strong,

    Noel,

  637. Jodi,

    I hope that the jury can see the truth, and that behind the beautiful woman is an innocent victim who acted out of necessity in order to save her life.

    Remember: “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly…”

    Always TEAM JODI,

    Heather

  638. Jodi….Got “Hourless ” in the mail today….You are an awesome artist…I honestly love all your work…This week is crucial to remain strong…just as you have been all along….Prayers are going up for you….and your family….DAILY.

  639. i weighed about 92-98 lbs @ most. my abuser weighed approx 180lbs, he fought me once a month for sure sometimes weekly. i almost never went to the police but when i did they told me to arm myself in case that started again & they couldn’t reach me soon enough. fought me when he never should have been with me in the first place. his behavior was morally criminal as well as legally.

    i’d be mentally troubled too after 4 yrs in jail etc. they should test women earlier & again near trial.

    it is very, very sad and troubling as a society what has happened.
    peace to everyone. amen.

  640. i dont think she’d engage intimately w/him then kill him. i wonder if he was being abusive after the intimacy. something about his persona really set her off.

    i have a pet i bought as a 5-6 month old pup. he’d been abused so much he snapped on everyone including toddlers and myself & my household. he didnt care that i fed him, he just didnt want to be hit/abused anymore. when i realized why he was so aggressive i decided to keep him. i was on the verge of returning him. he’s a wolf shepherd & is the best dog i’ve ever owned & the smartest too. he’s still somewhat aggressive but he’s naturally calming down more & more. he still has what i believe is a nervous stomach from the abuse b/c initially he spat up multiple times during the month. now it’s every once in a while.

    good luck jodi/ms arias. i doubt you killed him just b/c. men should not use women. we are people/humans. amen.

  641. i was just lookin at amanda knox. her facial expression is entirely different than jodi’s. jodi looks innocent.

  642. Hi Jodi…we are TOTALLY Team Jodi!!!! We hope & pray the Jury sees the truth!!!

  643. Jodi…..Hang in there, kiddo! I don’t know you personally but my heart just goes out to you. I can see the stress and pain on your face and it breaks my heart. From one Jodi to another, I will always support you, write you and try to put money on your books when I can. I have been housed where you are at and admire the strength you possess to be locked up in there this long……Know that there are people out here that love you and support you. You are not alone, Sister. I can tell you that I will be here for you no matter what. Unconditionally. I hope to hear from you and you write me back. If I can get a reply from you or the moderator of this site through my email I will send back my physical address.I will warn you however….Not only am I intellectually on the same page as you are buy I am hilariously funny,,,,,So be prepared to laugh!I love ya, Kiddo and I believe in you. Remember this Jodi….To the world you may be just one person….But to one person….You just may be the WORLD. Hang in there the best you can….. I know I will be right there with you.Love and Blessing to you, Punkin’ 🙂

  644. My prayers are for you Jodi. The jury will see the truth, and the truth will set you free!!!!!!

    • Your right, the jury did see the truth, but that still does not make it right… She should have been found guilty and then set free for time served…If the good Lord finds it in His heart to not let yet another person stay in prison who does not belong there, Jodi, you are always more then welcome to come live with me and my partner. We would take care of you and you would never have to work or worry about anything. You would be able to buy anything you want. Jodi, you should be treated like the queen that you are… Remember, God will not put us thru anything the He thinks that we cannot handle. There must be a reason that he wants you there, maybe so that you can help others. We love you Jodi and please try to stay strong. You are the best…

  645. I felt so bad watching you on the stand today while little Napolean went on and on trying to re-create the murder scene. I’m sure he was wrong about many, many things and how difficult it must have been to sit there and listen to all that and not be able to speak up. I do wish you would have just told the truth, no matter how difficult, as it would have been so much better in the end. I also had hoped you would have just come clean at some point and admitted to everything except premeditation. I have always believed you brought a weapon in case things went bad and you had something to defend yourself with. I don’t believe you went there for the express purpose of killing him. I truly believe you were pushed to the point of snapping. The “overkill” is evidence of that. Is it too late to confide everything to your attorneys and possibly be re-tried? Do whatever you can at this point Jodi.

  646. Lord I pray that you watch over Jodi and her family and give them the strength and courage to get through these closing arguments and Lord please help the jury to see the truth that Jodi is not the monster Juan Martinez is trying to make her out to be. She is one of Your children Lord, she believes in You and serves You. In Jesus’ name Please spare our sister Jodi’s life as her death would be a waste of a promising life of a very talented, very intelligent, and beautiful young woman who’s only crime is being a victim of domestic abuse and having trust in people. Jodi isn’t perfect as none of us are except You Lord, she’s made some mistakes but so does everyone. Lord I don’t ever ask for anything like this but please Lord, Please save Jodi. In Jesus Name Amen God Bless You Jodi

  647. Jodi….. I wish you all the best. Please hang in there. If it were up to me, I would set you free in a heartbeat. You deserve happiness and a full life filled with love.

    Please dont give up. I know that mentally, you must be in a dark place right now. Just know that many people are standing with you. You are beautiful and full of grace.

  648. yesterday was nothing,I got sick watching martinaz going on and on with His BS.but today mr Nurmi will be victorios!

  649. ….I don’t believe for a second that she was evil, although an act of evil did occur and that is something that has to be dealt with. The fact that Travis Alexander baptized her into the Mormon community and then was HIGHLY INFLUENCED by his close friend’s and piers is where the mental anguish she received began for her. There were plenty of so called friend’s of Travis’ voicing their opinion of Jodi on him when in actuality what was happening was that THEY were in fact instigating matter’s, calling her names such as sociopath, evil, crazy, stalker. What does that tell you? Is that not an act of abuse in itself? Jodi’s attempts at finding out the truth about Travis were natural. She did not feel that he was true to her and in fact he was not. I know this from personal experience in a similar situation, yet it never went this far. Jodi had no sense of self to begin with and was taken advantage of because she was a sexual being and she thought he really loved her. Travis was the abuser in this case. Curious as the both were I don’t agree with how they behaved, but neither knew their limits. In Jodi’s mind the one person who she thought loved her, in fact, betrayed her and that is very plain to see. Yes Travis was murdered, and brutally, wether this was premeditated or not is up to the juror’s to decide. I do however believe that Jodi was abused, because mental abuse is far more serious than physical abuse and if a person has never experienced it then they would never know….

  650. Jodi,

    I wish you all the best today. I know you are scared of what’s going on but just know that me and millions of others have seen and supported you throughout this trial. We see through the b.s. and hopefully that one person on the jury ees through it too! xoxo

    TEAM JODI!!! I’ll be praying for you. xo

  651. Jodi,
    Since my presence within the audience of this travesty began; personal recollections of people, the place, and the foundation of personal courage returned. Also arising however, are bits and pieces of another life which instills the exact same fear I lived with for so very long. I was fortunate; I found the only avenue open in a city of full of strangers. These people pursued a goal in their own lives to aid women precisely in my position. Alyce La Violette I commend you on your presentation of the facts regarding Domestic/Interpersonal Violence. Jodi I am so sorry you did not know the position you were in until it was too late. There are so many women going through the exact same type of relationship.
    For myself and my kids we were lucky. But, 10 years has the very same impact on a woman. Which, brings me to another point. Perpetrators, abusers and pedophiles live for personal secrecy privacy and when caught; they freak out and turn into someone you do not know and in the same breathe you are expected to adapt and forget anything bad they have done or said. Someone scary yet, loving and sweet. Life with these people is a bittersweet, full of locked bedroom doors and people who are virtual strangers and yet loving and attentive to making sure you are kept on loving level. Always making sure you in your heart believe they will never do it again. And when they do choose a woman. She will be weak of heart and mind but, desperate to not be alone, desperate for a man to love them. This man will also do everything he can to isolate a person, including convincing them to move away from their own home and family. Then through strategic movements and small bits of leading information everyone within their “world” becomes without a doubt convinced you the outsider, (SARCASM; moving closer to him but, not because he would ever ask you too, that would be too weak); you are stalking him, you are a crazy person and you have invaded his life. This is the picture they paint for everyone else.
    You, (That person simply looking to be loved) have been brought into a trap; you know you can see a way out however, you cannot obtain it because love can change the world and he loves you so he will change, right? As long as you love him he will change. They make sure to introduce at first so you feel as if you are welcomed into their world too. But, it is only to their lifelong friends, their families and the people they choose. This is keeping tabs on where you are, when you are, how you go and who you are with AT ALL TIMES.
    I would wager you have been talked into moving for him it was easier for him to access you at the time, and let us not forget after a certain amount of time (When he wants new meat) to everyone he is close to he made you out to be a stalker. I don’t which is worse; the fact that the church turns a blind eye and allows this behavior or the awful fact the family is willing to punish a stranger to protect what few secrets they may have left. I would gather they are very telling.
    And let us not forget this little tip; turned loose by the prosecutions witness, she was able to interview the family. She interviewed TA’s brother. Now can someone tell me who is hiding what? Why not tell the truth it will set you free and that goes for the LDS church as well, Christians are honest! That man should be excommunicated. I am ashamed and I have every right to be I was sealed to my parents in the temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. The family of my abuser enabled him as well, just as TA’s family and the LDS church have and do. They love him of course and I understand loving someone but, with such behavior comes learning the patience needed to swallow his lies no matter the cost to his and their own souls.
    Even after my abuser and his brother in law rammed the side rear of my car (daughter in the back seat 7 years old) on ice causing me to spin and head on a guard rail, after the following 5 days while having my face reconstructed I do not remember.
    I survived 10 years of abuse and to this day I cannot tell you how many times I was pushed out of a moving car, hit, pushed, kicked, called horrible names and treated like I did not matter. The families of these types of men behave the exact same so to all of you who are saying death; think again because it could have easily have been you!
    Domestic Violence is rampant in society. Why do you all think there are now the beginnings of Domestic Violence Diversion Programs being added to county court systems all over this nation? And on a final note:
    When it comes to the feelings, the actions or lack thereof and the memory failure, it has been proven when the human mind or body is traumatized automatic chemical reactions within the mind are activated to withhold the trauma from ones reality. After being mentally, verbally, physically abused and almost killed I know this because it happened to me. Oh and if you dare think Domestic Violence is not in the DSM-IV-TR guess again. Every action has a reaction so debate this:
    Trauma causes psychological damage. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Forth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) holds all of the keys and more than one disorder is highly common.

    epenrose

  652. I do so hope that your attorneys hit every hole in the states case. I am against any law enforcement that has to change their story in order to a convection! That I know is the truth thus far! Period! I do not like the way in which you were treated by Travis (recorded phone call, 12 yr old girl comment, text messages, and the using you for his pleasure crap) I do not like the way the State Mr Juan spoke to you, and all of the rest of the witnesses, I do not like the change of the story of the medical examiner, and I do not like seeing Travis’s Family get so happy and excited when they “think” the State made a good point to the jury regarding Travis’s so called morality! ” There is nothing more worse in this world than a hypocrite. There is one thing you are not and that is a Hypocrite! People sometimes don’t tell the truth when they are up against the wall…..dahhhhhh! But when you are the State and trying to convict someone, sorry you are held to a higher moral standard than the average citizen! So Jodi, I wish you luck, the best, and I hope that this case does make a mark in history, as there is so much as a society that we can learn! Bye the way My Brother is a skateborder..!!! and the funny thing is that he does carry a screwdriver!!!! LOL They carry it to adjust their bored!

  653. Dearest Jodi, The Trial is now in the hands of the jury. I want to commend you on how classy, calm and mature and strong you were thru out this grueling trial. I hope you are receiving all of our messages of love and support. We understand the position you were in. You are a child of God. Stay strong and know you are in our prayers, Much Love, Jessie

  654. Love You Jodi!!! We are praying……hold on to every ounce of faith you have it’s going to be ok try and keep your head up….Victory is on the horizon.

  655. Oh Jodi, my heart is grieved as I watch the trial. What can I say to make it better? as I watch you on television my only thought is for you is to bow the knee and cry out in your heart to the Lord!!! honey, only he can make all that is wrong right, know I’m praying. Your life is not a waste, what you have been through can be used for good believe it or not. Hang in there little princess!!!

  656. Hey Jodi, I can’t even imagine what you must be going through right now. I’m a nervous wreck for you. I hope you are keeping your chin up and your emotional strength as well! I just sent you another postcard. By the way I keep forgetting to tell you I love your artwork! You are an incredible talent! Take care honey you are in my thoughts as well as my prayers! Your friend, Sandy

  657. Jodi, you have many supporters. Please don’t think that you are alone. Everyone is praying and hoping for you to be set free. You have been through hell. I was reminded of a song that says, “if you’re going through hell, keep on going, don’t slow down, if you’re scared don’t show it, you might get out before the devil even knows you’re there.” Just hold on. I hope the jury has as many questions as the rest of us do. I hope they read Flores’ report and see all the holes and lies. Like I said, just hold on. I think your lawyers did a fine job. You take care and remember, people do support and care about you. Your friend, cj

  658. I have so many comments but don’t want to sound stupid. I don’t believe that you should be found guilty. HLN has made things so. Unfair for you with all of their coverage and their douchebag announcers, the so called lawyers, doctor’s, and prosecutors that they put on all night bad mouthing you and your case is giving the jurors and public only the negative, I. Would put money on it that some of that jury is watching. Andthat isnt right cuz how can u ever prove it. Im so sick and tired of listening to that Nancy grace bitch down grade everything. The bitch acts as though she was there, and talks as though she has a md, she goes on n on about how she thinks migraines aren’t bad, when I get them I half to sit in the dark n silence. Another thing about the bitch is why does she find the need to compare anyone on trial to herself?? she did it w Casey Anthony now with you Jodi and she found you both guilty before trial started,,why? because the bitch compares how she lost her fiance weeks before her wedding, so she automatically assumes everyone is guilty, she neds to shut her mouth. N all the other ppl on HLN shit there not even lawyers anymore, you half to ask yourself why that is. They really talk alotta bullshit cuz they want the public to hate you.but you do have support n there are ppl that believe you. Nobody but you knows what you went thru,, I didn’t like some of your attorney actions that HLN pointed out he got caught laughing alot n smirking n of course they made a huge deal of it. I liked jm she was good. The news made more of an issue of kn questions to Travis treatment to his gf,, then the prosecution misconduct, that wasn’t fair. And I do really think at least one of them jurors went home n saw HLN or got info , somehow. It isn’t fair to. You. If I was on jury you’d be found not guilty. Dr. Drew is a nutjob who shouldnt even be on tv with all his celebrity rehab deaths he has no room to talk about anyone..as far as the news going on n on about ur sex life etc etc,, who doesnt enjoy sex?? Keep ur head up i will pray for victory

  659. Jodi,
    I hope everything is going to be alright and I will pray for you.

  660. Storming Heaven with many prayers for you Jodi!

    Asking that the light of the Holy Spirit shine brightly apon the jury .. giving them strength .. touching their hearts, minds & souls so that no matter what they might have seen & heard in the media …

    No matter what tales, lies & half truths that evil little man JM might have weaved …

    They will have the courage to “Do The Right Thing” and deliver the “ONLY” verdict that “IS” Justice …

    Not Guilty!!!!!

    God Bless you ….

    Stay strong …

    Peace & Love to you .. your family & friends ….

  661. Dear Jodi,

    I don’t know if anyone ever has, but let me apologize to you. I am sorry.

    I’m sorry for the way society has judged you and labeled you a monster, before giving you a RIGHTFUL day in court.
    I’m sorry that the State of Arizona put your most private thoughts and actions in the hands of the world, to ridicule and condemn you with.
    I’m sorry that you had no one to turn to when you realized that you were in over your head with Travis Alexander.
    I’m sorry that you endured an unimaginable trauma, and had everyone around you say you were lying & did not allow you to heal, or grieve.

    Most of all, I am sorry that you are going thru a horrendous trial, filled with lies and corruption, and are facing having your life taken from you, again with no one REALLY on your side.

    Jodi, you do have people out here that believe you. There are people who see that Travis was not perfect, nor were you, but you were in love. And there are even people who understand, love goes wrong. Sometimes, terribly wrong. Abuse happens behind closed doors, & those who appear perfect in their public life, are usually very imperfect in their “private” lives.

    In my opinion, I saw complete honesty when you broke down, saying you were both attacked, and you desperately wanted to help Travis, but “chickend out like a little bitch”. To me, those have been the TRUEST words spoken in this case, and I say that because of the raw emotion behind the words. I don’t know why you weren’t believed by those that could have done something about it, but I believe the people that killed Travis Alexander are still unknown and at large…

    IF you are convicted, it will be a tragedy, and yet another slap in your face, and again, I am sorry, but should that be the case~
    DO NOT QUIT FIGHTING FOR YOUR OWN LIFE!!!

    You have support, & whatever it takes, if you call on supporters for action, I am willing to bet, your cries will be heard. We WILL fight for you, whatever it takes.

    For now, lean on God, have faith that he knows your heart, and will see you thru. Jesus faced many awful tribulations, yet was the most loved man alive. A true follower of God knows we must also face our own tribulations to be grateful for our blessings. We are all sinners, none worse than the other, and are not put here to judge you. All each of us can do is Pray for strength, courage, and knowledge be bestowed upon these jurors, and have faith that they will do what is right.

    Hold On To Love Jodi ~ We send you lots of it to see you thru 🙂

    • Who ever you are that wrote that message for Jodi, Thank you so much. It just kills me inside when I hear all the remarks about her. I too will be praying for her.

    • Shelly thank you!! I agree %100 with everything you said and feel the same way you do. This trial has been so one sided it’s sickening!!!! I can’t do much being here in Australia but what ever I can do from here I will do with PRIDE!!

  662. Hang in there Jodi. We are behind you 100% . Cecilia Wingfield odessa tx

  663. Hey Jodi,
    I am truly hoping the jury can really imagine what you endured, and supports you. I was a skeptic at first, but throughout the trial I have come to feel for you, and what you went through. I would like to write to you, and offer you friendship. I think you need real people around you that don’t have a hidden agenda….Head up girl!!

  664. Hi Jodi,

    I can’t imagine what is going through your mind this weekend. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am praying for your peace.

    I am sorry that you had to go on trial after what you endured. I hope the jury sees what many of your supporters have seen.

    The truth will prevail.

    Love, Renee’

    • Our lil Joi, sweetie you be brave tomorrow, hold your head up high until we get a verdict I will be praying you. I am 70 yr old grandma and I can see the kindness in your eyes and that you have a big heart. I know your hurting so much in your heart, if you need to cry, cry and to heck with what anyone thinks. I hope you do read these , that is, if they let you. You are cared about and loved by millions of people all over the world and there are alot of prayers being said for you, I for one. You have so much talent, I love all your paintings. You are a brave young lady. But you fell in love, my heart goes out to you because all women know how it feels to be hurt and men do too….. Your other grandma

  665. Jodi, I was abused as a child and when I was 18 years old I married an abuser. Many times I wished I had the courge to do something about it. I am 67 and been married almost 49 years and still unhappy with my abuser. I guess that is the way my life will end so just to let you know their are many of us that do understand what happened. I feel so sad for you. At least he can’t hurt you any more. My prayers are with you.

  666. well, Jodi the day has come for everyone to know that you were defending yourself..it took years and the entire world to finally get to this day……you must stay positive and believe in you team..I do..and that fucked up ass hole J.M his nasty ass loud mouth is finally going to be out of your life..short man complex that’s all he has is his loud mouth..he`s a nothing an ugly big mouth freak…

  667. Jodi,

    We live in a world that is bigger and enigmatic than appears on the surface. We are all connected and in some ways we are like ghosts living in virtual reality but ghosts with souls. Listening to you this morning on tape you touched me. It will work out. Come to me in your dream.

    Mike

  668. Dear Jodi,
    you are sooo beautiful, talented and intelligent. What did you see in that overweight womanizing hippocrite. His motivational speaking tells me what a bull shitter he was. He played around with your heart and I can understand why he wound up crumpled up in a shower stall. I just hate it that you got sucked in and devastated by his cruelty. I have seen alot of his friends on Jane Valez, Dr. Drew and I can tell that birds of a feather flock together. I see how cruel they were to you and Travis was the ring leader.Sky hughes was probably jealous of you cause you make her look like dogfood , hence the night that she wanted you not in her house again. Those assholes. In the courtroom recently theHughes showed absolutely NO decorum by chewing their gum like some sort-of yahoos that don’t know how to act in public . They looked like they were chewing cud. Anyway, just know I was cheated on most my life and when someone plays around with a true heart and causes so much pain it is understandable to me that one could reach their limit. That sack of shit was not worth you being in trouble over. He would have never amounted to anything because he was a big fake in every aspect of his good ol boy life.

  669. Jodi,

    Just know that no matter how this thing shakes out you are going to have a meaningful life.. Someone as intelligent and talented as yourself will have a very full life.
    There is no telling what kind of educational opp. you could have . You always have your art and even if it does not go so well the sky is the limit for someone with your gifts.

    Lots of women that have walked the same path as you (having some empty person try to empty you) really secretly love to see that gutted f’ ‘r laying there after having made you so miserable. Making you feel like you weren’t good enough to be his sweet polly purebred mormon little wifey. He could have never found another like you and he would have not been happy with anyone. I mean why did he feel like he deserved some virgin. He was a really messed up person. Why you voluntarily be a member of a religion and not take it seriously at all. What a fraud he was. He played around with religion and he played around with women’s hearts. He had that shit coming.

  670. Jodi – I wanted to wish you well,the next fews days will be so hard for you and also your many MANY supporters. I believe there is only one judge God Almighty and he alone has the right to judge you and being a Merciful Lord would not find you guilty of murder only guilty of loving the wrong “man” and having to protect yourself!!. After watching yesterdays closing I am appalled!! Can anyone tell me why on earth the number 8th Dwarf was able to get up and talk rubbish again?? Nurmi’s closing was awesome and he even surprised myself at how well and logical his words were, and in my opionion made sense and spoke the truth, unlike the sh*t we heard from the lil one(JM) every day. I wish Nurmi had the chance to respond, seems like that in itself was very unfair that the last words spoken came from a Dwarf which had no ring of truth at all. I would appeal to the highest court as you were given an injustice the whole way thru. We never seen the defence team treat any witnesses abusive like Dwarf 8 did!! Like many said before I find it very hard to believe that NOONE not one of juriers have seen ANYTHING at on the news, or internet and for that reason alone should be classed a mistrial, from my knowledge over here the jury are all placed in special housing with no internet , no radios, no TV, no newspapers, not being able to speak to anyone besides other juriers and what has happen here is no way justice!!!!! Jodi no matter what this court decides you are INNOCENT in the hearts and minds of so people here and beyond. God Bless you Jodi and may he wrap His LOVING arms around you to protect and LOVE you xoxo

  671. Jodi, I have been watching your trial since day one, you have admitted to killing Travis and I am sure it was something you regret since that day, but i also believe he was using you for sex, like the defense attorney said on Friday he used you and would use the Mormon women to keep his place in the church. i am so sorry it has come to this, but you are young and so pretty and one day you will find a man who truly loves you for you. Only you and Travis know what really happened that day. I will keep praying for you and that justice will prevail..Good luck to you I wish I could help you financially but I am a single mom trying to keep my head above water but know that I am praying for you.I am sick and tired of everyone making fun of you and making Travis seem like such a good guy, he didnt deserve to die but you must of had enough….I dont believe in killing someone but the media has had a field day with you making you look like a monster, but I know you aren’t you were a young woman in love with a user and a fake Mormon man.Whatever happens just know i believe in you..best wishes and much love Irma

  672. Yes, Jodi – if I had wings I visited you every day.
    Luckily I have two arms, but these are not so interesting to fly with 😀

    I reacted already on your tweets, earlier today.
    ================
    Hypocrisy bugs ……..
    ###### My answer ##########
    It is common that all means are sanctified to achieve the goal.
    =================

    It is common …..
    It is not, because it is common, that it is desirable

    Mr. YES or NO,
    Did not come to court, to find the truth.

    From the first day of the trial, Mr. JM had already finished his story.
    It was only a matter of make it plausible to the jury.
    For people like JM, it is common that all means are sanctified to achieve the goal.
    Credibility and the goal (his story) should be achieved.
    He took you in his – YES or NO – game.
    He used every sob and snuff, words and all your movements to give his story an image.
    Sometimes he was, very chaotic in he’s interrogation.
    Was it intentional build confusion, to get you out of balance?
    Again, all means are sanctified to achieve the goal.
    He was paid, to achieve the goal; his story.
    All representatives in a court do only their job.

    Your pain, fear, and most of all, your truth, lie on the side of your defense.

    Today it is all in the hands of a group of ordinary people, just like you and me.
    All people with their own, background, history and life experiences.
    Decide on the basis of what each individual thinks is important.
    Each individual with his own intellect.
    (People standing in a refined way move through life, prove not necessarily, their intelligence.)

    ==============

    Jodi, you stood twice for trail, once on the court and once for public.
    It made you to, the most coveted and hunted wild boar.
    This has been not all for nothing…
    The world must face its own inhuman decadence and trash talk.
    Mentioning, my first contributions on this page, April 23, 2013 at 12:08 am
    => Jodi, keep up Girl, the world is learning,

    =============================

    Jodi, never let you be baptized again in the name of mosquitoes, flying and dog turds.
    Stay in the name of Jesus, He is the only real counselor in life.
    Take the wire of His phone and call Him every day.
    We all do the same … 😐

    Okay, on my clock it is 11 pm.( Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris)
    Put an extra clock gadget on my desktop – on yours, 14:15 pm ( -7 Arizona )

    ### Yes, and have written, your name on it !! 😀
    It represents almost nothing, BUT, …… it is an reminder !! 😀

    Jodi – Trying keep away – as much as possible – the stress of your brains.
    It is hard enough to live two days, under a pending verdict.

    Your sincere,

    Noel

  673. Jodi,

    I just wanted to say I have followed your trial from day one every day. It is very, very sad to me that not only what you are facing….the destruction of your life, being behind bars, waiting for verdict….your own attorney during closing argument said, “I do not like Jodi on most days.” Just digraceful!!! And why is he a state appointed public defender???

    Travis obviously had so many secrets and serious sexual deviant issues and abuse towards you….I wish you had just walked away…you are so intelligent and beautiful….you deserved so much better….its just so sad….he just was not worth it!

    God Be With You!!!!

  674. Jodi,my heart and prayers are with you everyday,I am saddened by all the trash that has been put forth about you.Nobody deserves the pain and anguish that has been bestowed upon you.The future is uncertain at this moment so keep believing and you will prevail.I wish I could just come and sweep you up and take you away from all this,I would like to meet you someday when you are free,God bless Jodi,the truth will be seen.

  675. Hey JODI, I don’t tweet or do FB—-but I want you to know that there are a lot of us who stand not behind you but beside you! And, although I’ve never met you —–and may never have the opportunity to do so—because of where we live—- from what I’ve gleaned throughout this matter is that you are a truly gifted, compassionate, and wonderful young lady! So you continue to stay strong—-because things shall work out for you as the truth shall be realized by the jury as it has by all of us at Team JODI and beyond! We shall prevail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  676. I hope you’re doing ok. You’re so pretty hang in there in hope youre free soon!

  677. Jodi, we Believe in you, although you have admitted your guilt i dont know why the Media have such negative reflections toward you. Everyone is guilty in Eyes of Nancy Grace, Dr. Drew, Jane Velez Mitchell and all the other Right Wing TV personalities. I Believe the Jury will convict you of a Lessor Degree Charge other than 1st. Ive Followed the trial and believe its a Passion Crime myself, Heat of the Moment. They Call it Passion and Provacated Manslaughter. Prayers are with You, although everyone is against you.

  678. What makes Nancy Grace think she is that important that Jodi and every one else should acknowledge her? Who is she that people should look her in the eye? I wouldn’t want to look at her hateful ass either, I don’t like one thing about her, her ignorance, hatefulness, and her I’m better than attitude. I despise everything about her and everything she stands for which isn’t much. And no one cares that she’s a so called victim of violent crime. Someone did her fiancé a favor by taking his life so he didn’t have to spend the rest of his life with her hateful inbreed country ass.

    • Nancy Grace pisses me off… She already has Jodi convicted, and you can’t tell me that these non sequestered jurors aren’t sitting at home watching her; listening to her lies and hate. Keep the faith Jodi, the truth will prevail over made up drama used to boost television ratings. You are in my prayers.

  679. Jodi have faith in our Lord, with all of us praying for acquittal we pray for u , keep a positive mind, soul and outlook, I will pray hard for you during the jury’s decision making, I can not believe how long you have been in jail, what a waste of talent and beauty. please have faith.

    on rocky f post I feel the same you can see hatred in her eyes, her voice is so annoying, I mute my TV when she’s on the air. There’s no innocent till proven guilty with that bitch.

  680. THIS IS FOR YOU JODI HOPE YOU GET A CHANCE TO READ IT PRAYING FOR YOU AND SO IS THE UNIVERSE

    Upright Three of Cups Tarot Card Meanings

    The Three of Cups is representative of friendships and collegiate, harmonious relationships. It is a time when you are open to helping others, which in turn means that others are open to helping you. It is about spending quality time with your loved ones and your friends.

    This card reminds me of the wonderful connection and friendship that exists between the four female characters in “Sex and the City” – Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda. They stand by each other, through thick and thin, and they are always there for one another as they make their way through various relationships, careers and other life journeys. Nearly every episode, they can be found enjoying each other’s company, often over a Cosmopolitan or another fancy New York cocktail. You get the feeling that these girls will be friends forever and will know that they can always count on each other for support and compassion.

    You may find that by turning to your female friends, you receive the love, support and compassion you need right now. Your close circle of friends may be a mothers’ group, old school friends, a women’s networking group or a collection of friendships that you have built up over the years. There is a oneness shared between your close friends and you, and there is a general feeling of sensitivity and sympathy with one another.

    The Three of Cups heralds a very sociable period. You will find a harmonious balance between meeting your commitments and spending quality time with friends and family. This is a great time to let your hair down and indulge yourself a little! You may be particularly drawn to the bar or restaurant scene, indulging in great food, wine and cocktails! You may also be celebrating something special, such as a birth, engagement, wedding, re-union, or birthday.

    For the moment, even though life’s problems go on, you can take time out to forget about the hassles of the everyday world and enjoy the company of your friends and loved ones. Such respites are often needed before and after periods of high stress, to stop you from getting burned out emotionally or physically. When this card appears and you are experiencing a high level of stress, take some time off to recuperate, and gain the support of friends before returning to ‘reality’.

    More broadly, the Three of Cups indicates the end or conclusion of any problems you have been experiencing, particularly those that relate to your interactions with others. A compromise will be found which will serve all the interests of those involved and will allow for a more harmonious environment. You can facilitate this process by bringing about positive change within yourself and changing your attitude and the way you react or deal with what is happening. Treat the situation with compassion and give the benefit of the doubt where possible.

    The Three of Cups represents community and groups of people coming together to focus on a common goal for the greater good of others. You may find that by reaching out to others and banding together, you can achieve a huge amount in terms of sharing your positive energy and passion with others, benefiting the wider community. It is a sign that you should seek out other people to celebrate your successes along with you.

    The Three of Cups is also a very creative card, suggesting that you may pursue a creative outlet within a group environment, such as an art class or a dance class. This is a great way to connect with others and to access your creative abilities.

  681. Jodi, I just want to wish you and the rest of your family all the best. I also want to wish you and yours a most VERY Happy Cinco de Mayo! There is quite a bit of irony about you waiting your fate and this holiday happenning at the same time. My dearest Jodi, you have rich and noble Mexican blood running through your veins. Remember on this day back in 1862 an outnumbered Mexican army SOUNDLY defeated a much larger French army!

    You are special Jodi because you carry the blood of such fierce and noble people! You WILL be victorious as the Mexican army was victorious on this day in 1862!!!!

    VIVA LA FAMILIA ARIAS!!!
    VIVA MEXICO!!!
    VIVA LA RAZZA!!!

  682. Jodi its me, Heather, hold on you’re almost there, keep thinking about the Law of Attraction. I think about you, worry about you and want to see that smile again, you looked radiant, well as radiant as you could in court when Nurmi was giving his all, he did all he could for you, you were very lucky having Jennifer, too. I think about you every single day and marvel at how you cope, how you must have wanted to speak so many times.. you’ve done so well! I honestly don’t know how you’ve managed it.

    You looked beautiful in court that day! Just hold on!

    I would love to give you a safe place here in London with me, all you have to do is ask SJ for my email address 🙂 My photo is on the support page.

    Lots of love and (((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))) Me! xxx Take care of yourself.

  683. Jodi, That smile you had when Kirk made the comment about not liking you 9 out of 10 days himself was priceless. I saved that picture of you from this site. It makes me smile. Your art makes me smile too. You are so talented.
    You’re really on my mind a lot this weekend. I’m with you in spirit Jodi as so many of us are.
    I have real good feelings about what is going to happen.

    Take care Jodi
    You are loved, remember that!

  684. Jodi, I have watched the entire trial and just wanted you to know how much I support you. I came from a similar background as you and was mistreated horribly by some of the men who supposedly “loved me.” I cannot imagine what you have gone through over the past 5 years. You are an amazing and strong woman, and I have nothing but respect for the way in which you have conducted yourself after all you have been through. I am praying for you and praying for the jury to do the right thing and see what a facad the State has put forth throughout this trial. Take care, and know there are many people who know you are innocent.

  685. I began watching the trail on HLN….So I developed my original decision from watching Nancy Grace….As the days turned into weeks….My feelings started to change….I do not believe that you planned on driving to him and killing him…..Anyone who has ever been in an heated argument with anyone knows that things are said and things are done and alot of those things are not remember….Now that I have seen the photos I believe you were defending yourself….If you had planned on the killing, I believe you would have done just that when you arrived….I do not believe you would have went to sleep….You would have completed what you came to do and then went on your way….My husband and I are praying for you and your family….May Gods Will Be Done…..

    Take Care Jodi!!!

  686. Jodi, you are in my thoughts. I pray for your acquittal so that you may walk free again, as you so richly deserve. <3

    • Amen to that… I wait for the day that an acquittal verdict is given, or even that a mistrial with the way this juror is being handled. Again my prayers are with you Jodi; you’re trial is so unfair.

  687. I was raped at 15 by a man who looked soo innocent from the social aspect. Sad to realize i was pregnant and the father was 40. that man was only given 30dys in jail and relsed after a week. just because i am beautiful i was a temptress. i led him on and made him force himself onto me. I now have a ten yr old i love more than life. i suffer from ptsd were i wake up heart racin and my memory is shot. days just blend together. i was abused my whole life growing up. whenever child serv was called i was the liar that “hurt myself”/ left a bad self concept into adult hood. i dont know what happen that night so i cant judge. what i find funny is noone has ever said one bad thing about Travis….was he jesus christ? i mean noone is that fucking perfect. NOONE. not even nancy grace, she farted on live tv….to make you smile. this all is for media. i feel sorry it was you choosen. when we get scared and stress ppl do lie out of pleasing and giving ppl what they want to hear. take care and may the jury do their vote fairly and not let the media make this into a reality show anymore than it is. human life on the line. Not another episode of teen mom.
    winnie

  688. Jodi
    The Universe is always shining it’s stars on you
    no matter what happens.

    You are loved and sometimes life and it’s wrong way turns
    may seem unfair, but everything happens for a reason.
    You are a beacon of light
    that will shine through the darkness.

    Good luck to you and
    light love and prayers
    Josh

  689. Jodi, I am from South Africa, and am praying for your acquittal. You would be more than welcome in my home any time. I am also an artist of sorts, and I think you have incredible talent.
    With love and best wishes
    Jenni xoxo

  690. Jodi,

    If I were your father, after hearing the disgusting perverted way he spoke to you, I probably would have killed him myself. You have a lot of thoughtful people rooting for you!

  691. Jody is not guilty.I pray for her everyday.This is an injustice.The media has condemned her already.We
    as a society should be ashamed.She is a victim,and they know it.It’s all about the ratings.They are
    trying to make a martyr of her.If she is guilty,we are all guilty.We have let her down if she is found guilty.
    I don’t know her personally.I have listened to the evidence against her,and the evidence in her favor.
    only God knows the truth,and I do strongly feel she is innocent.I pray she gets this message.Jody,have
    faith,don’t give up,and keep your spirits up.We are praying for you,especially me.

  692. Jodi ,
    Stay strong and keep the faith. My prayers are
    With you and your family. God knows what happened
    on that fateful day… screw HLN and all their biased know it alls!
    Praying that the jury gets it right and that you can slowly put your
    life back together. God Bless

  693. Hi, I have never seen such art talent as you have. Your artwork is absolutely beautiful. Is every piece one of a kind not making copies from the original. I see the verdict coming in as (Not Guilty).

    Ron

  694. Nancy Grace is such a HORRIBLE PERSON!!!! She is capitalizing and making insane accusations about everything! If you even so much as wipe your face… she is saying your wiping blood off your face or if you touch your neck.. she says you are motioning to cut someones throat.

    She wasn’t there when things happened. And she might as well have done it herself. She is licking her lips and taking checks to the bank over this.

    It made her failing media career! She comes off like to an aggressive killer with no stability and hyper-actively vengefullness.

    Nancy gave a piece about how your commissary isn’t getting to you. That’s odd because I have donated.

    But, If Nancy REALLY cared!!?????

    Nancy, Why don’t you donate every dollar you’ve made in this case to Domestic Violence!?
    Give the millions to the family of Travis Alexander and to accepted governmental domestic violence organizations.

    Let’s see what she does with it.

    Support Jodi

  695. Sending lots of positive vibes your way – especially during this moment of uncertainty. There’s one thing that is certain my dear, and that is that this is NOT your fault! You’re beautiful! Don’t lose that strength you have within you!

  696. Dearest Jodi,

    Very soon you’ll have reason to smile again. Believe that.

    I have faith that everything is going to be okay. I pray for you constantly. There are a lot of people who support you and love you. You are an incredible person for many reasons, but one that stands out to me is your endurance throughout this horrible ordeal. You are amazing! Stay strong. Soon this will all be over, and you’ll be happy again.

    Love,
    Sil.

  697. There is so much reasonable doubt Jodi, I don’t see how the jurors won’t be able to see this. I mean right now I am watching something on your hair color. Please, I bleached, permed, died and straightened mine in one day. Just because you died your hair… Women change their hair color on a whim every day. I am so sick of these people pulling at straws to convict you. Travis Alexander was a brute, who enjoyed abusing you, and you’re the one people are attacking.

    Reasonable doubt, mistrial [especially with the Juror issue]… Team Jodi will win!

  698. Jodi, my heartfelt thoughts are with u & ur family in this time. We’re all watching & waiting to hear the verdict. I sincerely wish u the best. I know that popular thinking is against u, and the media has twisted this case into a ATM machine. I find disgusting, at best. I have followed ur case from the beginning & think there is so much more to the story.
    I, surely a minority, am one who believes the system has failed u from ur defense to twisted public opinion. U admitted to wrong doing, u admitted ur part in Travis’s death. The rest is pure speculation. I do not believe u plotted to kill him. I do not, for a minute, believe ur a killing monster.
    I am sad that Travis died in the way he did. I’m sad for his family, who mourn him immensely. It’s all such a nightmare and tragedy. I just can’t agree w/ anyone who thinks ending ur life will make anything better.
    Regardless of what others think, keep ur head up & know that there are people who support you! Take care girl, I hope all ends well for u & yours.

  699. Hey Jodi,

    Just want you to know that you are a super strong person.. i know it is a rough time for you and i watch and hope that you will get the freedom and life and love back that you deserve.. we are all here by your side through this and are wishing we could do more.. i hope it all goes well 🙂 stay strong <3

    With Love, Justin

  700. Jodi may you walk free and find peace from all the BS that the DA has brought against you!! Stay strong stay wise!! much love!

  701. Hi Jodi. I hope this message reaches you. I’ve been a supporter of you since the beginning! I’ve followed this case very closely and my heart really goes out to you. I’ve felt your pain Jodi, because I know how it feels to be hurt and betrayed by the man you love and trust and thought was your friend. The pain of betrayal is so severe and not to many people know how bad it hurts, but believe me Jodi, I do. Your life seemed alot like mine and I felt compelled to reach out to you. You really seem like a sweet caring woman like I am and it’s so unfair how some people paint you as a cold hearted person, but when I see you, I know thats so not true. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Jodi and I hope the jurors give you the justice you deserve!! You are not alone Jodi. Alot of people feel like I do, so hang in there girl! Love ya! Lynn Thomas

  702. Hi Jodi !!! Wishing you lots of luck today your in my thoughts. Try to stay strong!!

  704. I guess my first message was deemed inappropriate by the moderator, not sure why. I will keep this simple-Thoghts and prayers go out, hang in there. Matt

  705. Jodi,
    My husband and are praying for you and have been since the beginning of this. When we first heard this story, our opinion was that something had to have happened to you for you to snap and hurt someone that you love. For you to have stuck around with Travis tells me that you are loyal and devoted woman…it is very easy to leave a relationship when “you” no longer recieve that benefit that drew you to that person in the first place..that’s why so many people are divorced these days. Now regarding Alexander and his gun issue…in AZ you DO NOT have to register your gun if you are a gun owner, you also do not need a permit for it, only if you plan to conceal your weapon, also if you purchased a gun other than from a gun place, NO ONE would ever know that you had it…also this video of you and Alexander sitting on the couch and he’s telling people that he had a gun pointed at his head…If he is telling the truth then as ANY man knows that if that had that happended Alexander would ABSOLUTELY have owned a gun. And those shelves…as a woman who cleans very often, those shelves are designed to hold more than just “shoes”. IHAVE OWNED SHELVES LIKE THAT AND HAVE CLIMBED ON THOSE MYSELF…I am 5’3″ and about 125 lbs…and guess what? They supported me just fine! Not that any of this matters now…
    I am curious to see this movie that has been in production. I hope you were able to have some input on it because I would like to see if my theories are right. I hope that this will be as CLOSE to the truth as possible…and I’m guessing here but I hope it’s done in your perspective. I beleive if they try to get any opinions from Travis’ people it will just be twisted lies and words…they say you had time to “think” of all this..well so did they, time to change the things they wrote and said regarding you. Like I believe Chris & Skye did.
    Anyways, I just finally found this website and wanted to jot down some thoughts that my husband and I have talked about. We really hope this jury will NOT convict you of premed.mur.1…I pray you get the lesser of the charges. I pray that you will be able to move on after this, which is obviously easy for me to say, I just pray that you stay strong no matter what the verdict is…with what the prosecution had gotten away with,then maybe an appeal will get the correct verdict.
    Sincerely supporting Jodi,
    Rebekah

  706. In reaction to:
    /* this would be a good time to ask which of those options you think

    To me, Jodi is – On parole,
    On one major condition, that she will be accompanied by a thorough good psychological team, in despite the costs. And that with the main objective, she get control over her emotions.
    As long as she cannot, channeling her emotions, it will transcend her rationality.
    You should not have studied mathematics, to know, the possible results.

    Mainly, I do not believe in needless punishment.
    Likewise, I believe in freedom restraints. People can reside in jail for a while.
    But only, and only if !! If you help them to disentangle there history en seeing the clue of there behavior end reaction and finally understand its effects.
    IF YOU STATE – Or how you want to be called – DOES NOT DO THAT,
    ARE YOU EVEN IRRESPONSIBLE AS ANY ERRORPAKCET IN YOUR PRISONS.

    In other words,
    As long as someone is not seeing the clue of his own wrong reaction, they, will continue to make the same mistakes. And that counts for the entire world community.

    I don’t believe in good and bad people, there are people.
    Many of them are sick, the need a doctor.
    Shall we bring sick people to death?

    Guess for yourself ….

    So – Jodi – I stand not behind you for the damage that you caused to yourself and the other.

    But, I will always stand beside you for your integrity and belief.
    For me it is irrevocably certain, your motives are righteous.

    Jodi – For the future ….
    I do not always agree with what you do or write.
    Jodi – I have a lot of apples in my basket, we could peel together.
    The chances that this happen I consider it very low.
    Likewise, never, say never …

    Accept for your own good, friends who dare contradict you.
    Never take it as an insult, but as a suggestion.
    Sometimes, it are interesting thing to play with…. Give it time …
    As a dough that must rise before you bake the bread.

    I can go on and on, the question is whether you ever get to read it.
    Jodi, remember, even in other parts of the world, there are people who constructively stand by your side.

    Jodi – Persist and you will prevail.

  707. Hi Jodi,
    Just wanted to say hi and hope you get out so you can start a new fresh life and do great things…?.It will be hard in the beginning but thats just life and it being hard will only make success even better. I’m still in the early stages of getting my life together. I will be 29 this year and hopefully by the age of 37 I will be successful in my life. I’ve read a few things about you and your interests, which are very similar to mine and hope you continue on your path to success. Whatever you did i feel you wish you could turn the hands of time and undo certain things of your past…Everyone does i guess.
    Anyways, stay sharp and never lose hope, not completely sure of what your beliefs are but mine are of values of science and somewhat spiritual and I will pray for you….May god bless you with love and hope.
    Btw, I read what your sister posted, I felt the love there….you are not alone and even though we dont know each other and probably never will, I wish you the best in your future!

  708. Jodi, i cant imagine the stress you must have right now going through this court situation, but i’ve seen you on tv and want to say how impressed i am about how you are staying so collected, i couldnt). GOOD JOB! KEEP IT UP! God will help you through this dont forget that. And you got people hopeing the best for you all the way up here in the north-east so you are obviously not alone;) STAY STRONG! We love you Jodi! Until next time girl, bye.

  709. I know things must be hard for you Jodi but always remember I’m here for you regardless. If you need some money on your books I got you… If you want me to come make a conjugal visit better believe I’m there. These streets won’t love you like I do Jodi. If you weren’t fighting this murder beef I’d take you out to lunch. Nothing real expensive though cause I’m on unemployment right now but when I come up, you come up. I love you Jodi. Stay solid and hold your head up high. 1 luv.

  710. Your “friend” that is twitting on your behalf is making a mockery and laughing stock of you. It paints you exactly as the prosecution has been trying to do for months. It is not cute and it is going to hurt you in the future, whether in sentencing or on appeals. STOP. Read a book, meditate, cry, laugh but don’t tweet while a jury is out. That is stupid, kiddo. Don’t tweet until you are acquitted or sentenced –unless you want to hurt to your chances any further. If that is the case just come out and say “I want to die”. If not…please stop your friend (who is NOT helping you).

  711. Hi Jodi. I hope your doing well. Its great to write to you, an I’ve been looking at all the videos in court, you look beautiful. I’m very happy that you killed Travis in self defense. No woman should ever be victimised like he did you an tryed too. I really much hope you are released immedietly to resume your life. I’ve also learned that you have a gf, an want to be with her. That’s awesome. You need all the emotional support you can get in this time. Good luck, an we all are praying for you.

  712. Jodi,

    You have handled yourself very much like a lady and you are very intelligent. I would like to write to you in jail, if possible, please send me the address to send you a postcard. Hang in there!!

  713. Has the prosecution and some supporters become an advertisement for Pre-paid Legal Services? Are they making money?

    It’s odd that his own friends are, “hawking” anything they had from him and promoting their business.

    They are showing up with items they have and smiling in some interviews. I watched one of his best friend’s wife, smile as though she were enjoying her time on camera. None of his friends seem too upset in their interviews with the media.

    And just watched as a friend (female) talk about how she was provided favors and help.. She lived with him (30 days). And she was talking about a book she has and thumbing through it saying he touched it. Who wants to bet she sells it?

    And most of what she talked about was how he wasn’t perfect at all and wanted to be better.

    How imperfect? What did she mean?

    He joked with her about coming into the shower while she bathed!

    Do even normal men do this to a woman to a woman in need? And a friend? He was taking advantage of her! She should have been a witness on the stand.

    Set Jodi Free!

    I think she might need some counseling after everything she has gone through, but she is not harmful to society. In fact, she is a productive member and a loving person.

  714. /*Your “friend” that is twitting on your behalf is making ….*/ ( Donna )

    Yes, Jodi, watch your back.

    Power corrupts people.
    If the ego is tasting the caress of attention and importance,
    they will turn their back and bite you.

    If anyone can inform her lawyers, about this issue,
    so someone can warn her; It would be great.

  715. I hate to bring this in..

    Let’s think of LDS… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Jeffs

    Are we considering the religion at it’s core? It’s about Polygamy

    “On June 10, 2006, Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard told the Deseret Morning News that he had heard from several sources that Jeffs had returned to Arizona, and had performed marriage ceremonies in a mobile home that was being used as a wedding chapel.[21]

    On March 27, 2007, the Deseret Morning News reported that Jeffs had renounced his role as prophet of the FLDS Church in a conversation with his brother Nephi. Nephi quoted him as saying he was “the greatest of all sinners” and that God never called him to be Prophet. [22] Jeffs and his defense team had no comment on the statement[citation needed]. Rumors suggest it was a lie from his brother Nephi, trying to usurp his brother’s role, while more rumors circulated saying he must step down as prophet so a new man could perform marriages and continue adding wives to the men of the community[citation needed]. An unnamed source said that he retracted this statement.[citation needed] However the veracity of that source was called into question when Jeffs presented a handwritten note to the judge at the end of trial on March 27 saying that he was not a prophet of the FLDS Church.[23]:

    Warren Jeffs is leader of the church who has claimed to be their prophet and leader of their church. He has raped numerous little girls and a father to many.

  716. Thanks, Noel. I can totally understand everyone’s frustration with the media and social media frenzy. If your friends want to battle them under their own names…go for it. But just don’t do it under Jodi’s name. OUR lives aren’t on the line right now.

  717. Hey Jodi.Just wanting to say that I hope you will be a free woman soon,cant even imagine what it is like waiting for that verdict.Hang in there girl,you are beautiful and intelligent and do not deserve to be locked up.Your day of freedom is coming,GOD BLESS,Jodi.

  718. I am glad the jury is taking so much time. If they really look at the state EVIDENCE, she will be set free.

  719. What denial the family of TA’s must be in. Living a lie is far worst than telling a lie, not to mention the efforts TA put forth in his web of deceit. I’m sure of your innocents and thank God that you can’t remember most of the violence during his demise. I can see and feel your frailness due to this unfortunate reality; however, there is a plan for you Jodi. I hope you can return to the soft and loving person you truly are. Return to being honest, compassionate and caring, return to trust and ultimately, return to freedom but most of all return to LOVE. In closing I’m wondering if TA’s family and friends even knew him, and I can say with certainty, they know who you are!!!!Peace be with you.

  720. Jodi,

    I’ve been on your side since day 1. I’m praying for you! Hang in there!!

  721. APPEAL, APPEAL, APPEAL! TAKE IT TO THE SUPREME COURT! I don’t believe for one minute that you got a fair trial! I have never seen a trial like this and it angers me!

    I believe that you did not get a fair trial and that the Judge lost control of the proceedings shortly after it started. To allow the Prosecutor to refer to you as “it, in a blue shirt”, name calling, bullying, etc. should not have been allowed. And I don’t believe for one minute that one, if not all of the jurors didn’t go home and turn on the TV, listened to the radio on the way home, or turned to their computer! They should have been sequestered in both the trial and deliberations.

    Don’t give up! Miracles have been known to happen! God be with you!

    • I feel exactly the same was as Dale. You did not get a fair trial. You were tried in the court of public opinion. There has been a huge herd mentality initiated by the media. The jury should have been sequestered throughout and in a perfect world I believe they should all be able to render their own opinion without being pressured by other jury members. Any of those jurors who wanted to vote their conscience would have been afraid to do so because of the repercussions. They knew they would probably be stigmatized by the public, receive death threats and who knows what else. So they went along with the herd. So sad.

      I also believe you did not plan to murder Travis but that a lot of events lined up perfectly to look as though you did. I also believe what the Psychiatrist told you that society has the need to persecute. I have always believed that. I wish the clock could be turned back but for some reason this is the hand you’ve been dealt. All you can do at this point is appeal, appeal and appeal. Study your butt off and become a lawyer. There is a lot of good you can do on the inside in the meantime.

      There are many, many of us behind you Jodi. Just don’t give up. You have an awful lot to contribute to this world.

      • yes u didnt get a fair trial,but i hope that soon u can get a re-trial.. im sick nd tired of jurors who only focus on one thing,didnt they hear the tapes on the nasty Travis A.pedphile that he was. it sickens me. i hate SEXUAL PRedators,.nd how he spoke to u. i hope that the jurors get punished by god someday.hope SOON!!

  722. My heart bleeds for you for what those hypocrates have done to you today. I belong to the Taoist faith and have never been able to sit in on jury duty because my beliefs would always compell me to side for the defense. There is no such thing as sin, guilt, or liability in Taoism. Our lives do have a primary purpose while we are here and that purpose is to evolve as a human as much as possible in whatever way possible in the time we are given in any way our heart directs us to. To expand our soul as much as we can outward toward the stars. All we ever really have is our energy. We are able to create more inside of us with our mind as we grow and mature. How we express that energy outwards towards others is what we call love. For those of us who walk this path one principle remains a constant and that principle is that we all become stronger with time. On a metaphysical level we almost become superhuman. We begin to walk slower with more confidence and control but it carries us faster forward than we could ever run before. We may only open our eyes for a few minutes a day but in those few minutes we are able to see something thousands of miles away. These are just examples of how we get stronger with time as we evolve on this path as real humans. The ignorant masses of people who called for your conviction today probably have no concept of this and probably have no idea what they are even here for or what it means to constantly evolve. They all likely have the energy equivalent of a shriveled up grape dying in the sun. Some of the older ones even looked like raisins :-). The little I have seen of you on tv, I can tell there is a powerful light inside of you that is patiently waiting to get out. You have so much evolving yet to do and yet these people have seen fit for themselves the right to selfishly cut your destiny short with their pompous demands for justice. They are truly monstrous. I am a strong believer in the law of attraction and its power to transform our lives. There is a little talked about secret within the psychology of this law that can act as a form of defense for its practitioner. It says that since our brains are both transmitters AND receivers of frequency; any energy that comes into our experience can be initially perceived as a negative, a neutral, or a positive event based of how we react to its arrival. If something comes in to our life and we react to it negatively then we create a negative experience, if we ignore it then it becomes neutral , and if we react with happiness then we have created a positive experience. The little secret is that you have all the power over this and any thing that comes in to you can only have the effect that you have given it the permission to be. You can take every bit of negative news that comes in and turn it into positive energy to work for you if you expect and anticipate that it is all actually working in your favor. If you can take the gigantic load of negative energy that’s being sent your way right now and transform it into something else of your choice then ironically this has the possibility to be the most powerful time of your life. I have so much faith in you and I do believe without any doubt in the power of self generated miracles. Your strength is an inspiration to me. My heart is with you during this time, Jodi. Relax, stand tall, hold your head high, smile, trust in the energy inside of you and then go show them what you got. I’ll be proudly watching you from the sidelines.

  723. It is a very sad day…when we heard the verdict, both my spouse and I just sat there, in disbelief…then I caught her wiping a tear off her cheek. We are sad because questions remained, there was more than enough room for doubt, because we feel there is a strong possibility the jurors may have been influenced by news media coverage. Had I been in that jury, I could never–in good conscience–have casted a guilty vote.
    God Bless.

  724. jodi, you never got a fair trial from the beginning, they are so biased and its all political and staged, all they wanted was to run you in the ground and pin all the blame on you, keep your head up and FIGHT you can prevail, you have real people out here who can see through these games and we know it was not fair, i am outraged at the nancy grace, dr. drew and all their sidekicks who think they can fool everyone with their opinions, some of us are smarter than that and we know what is really going on. they want you to give up, this trial was so biased and unfair i am so outraged with this whole thing, it should all be overturned and void, and let jodi go to live her life in peace!!!!

  725. I agree with the previous post! And if this jury was sequestered, there is no way they would have convicted her of first degree murder! Jodi will never get a fair trial now.

    Don’t give up tho Jodi. And just ignore all those people that love to hate.

  726. I’m so sad about the verdict. You are a beautiful woman, and I agree with your statement about the mob mentality. I have been thinking the same throughout your whole trial. I also agree with Judge Seidlin that you did not receive a fair trial. He has stated repeatedly that your jury should have been sequestered. I also do not think that the HLN Network has been fair to you at all. In fact, they have been overly critical – no matter what you do, no matter how you dress or do your hair – they have a “problem” with it. About the only thing they have not complained about is you breathing or blinking – but, I’m sure that’s coming. By the way, just so you know, I am a woman, and I am straight, which is why I was able to understand the type of abusive relationship you were in. One more thing – your artwork is breathtaking!!!!!

  727. We will appeal.

    And let’s start with your attorney saying he doesn’t even like you. That’s a re-trial ready to happen.

    You will emerge victorious.

    I will visit you as well. Keep the prayers.

  728. I am sorry if i posted wrong as i had to press reply to get my message on.
    Jodi i have followed your trial from almost the beginning. I am a 46 yr old married mom of 4 (3 are girls) and I feel that you were not listened to when you were growing up, no one helped you and men just used you. I wish you had of had someone who could have stopped you from goin to TA’s house, I wish he would have told you how talented and beautiful and too good for him. But he did not. And if he was as good a person as eveyone says, he would not ask for the death penalty. I prepared myself for the verdict but it still hurt. I am truly sorry for you. And people are still swarming to make money, i cant donate, and even if i could i dont want them to take the money from you . God bless. lisa

  729. I am so sorry Jodi, I believe you are totally right when you said the public has a need to persecute people. It isn’t right but a lot of things in this country are very screwed up! All of the people out to get you never once stopped and thought “what if that was me on trial? How would I feel?” People are evil and jealous! If there is anything I can personally do for you I will. I know what it’s like to be abused and no one believe you, it’s scary and very upsetting. I pray for you and your family daily and now am praying for appeals and a mistrial. Juan is a snake, he doesn’t care about human life just his win record! Keep your head up you will get thru this and I believe you will be free again. I am going to start writing you as soon as I can, hopefully encouraging you because I know you need some kind words right now.

  730. This verdict is bullshit!!! This wasn’t a trial it was a three ring circus with Juan Martinez the ring master Judge Sherry and Kirt Nurmi the clowns. Even another Judge says that the jury should have been sequestered from day one and that he doesn’t believe for a second that the jury wasn’t watching the bullshit being broadcasted by HLN. Also he doesn’t believe that they never talked or listened to anything about the trial. Juan Martinez bullied, badgered, slandered the names and characters of witnesses and even Jennifer Willmott. The judge let that little Mexican run ramped in that courtroom and never once said a word. He ran around outside the court like he was some kind of celebrity taking pictures with fans and signing autographs!? One juror was removed because she was poisoned and was so biased and prejudiced that she could not render a fair and impartial verdict. Were they afraid she might not buy into their bullshit? Judge Larry Seidlin says,”I believe if a thorough inquiry of the other jurors took place — the peeling of an onion if you will — there would be grounds for the judge to declare a mistrial. If the bias and prejudice possessed by some of the jurors is so pervasive, Arias cannot receive a fair trial.” He goes on to say, “If the court grants a mistrial, the state of Arizona would have to expend millions of additional dollars to retry Arias. Additionally, the public, witnesses, law enforcement and a new jury would have to go through this horror show again — the vivid, brutal and explicit pictures of Travis Alexander, the crime scene and all Arias’ sexual escapades, fantasies and fog.
    Are the above factors the reason why the judge hesitated in granting a mistrial? Is she letting everything take place and putting the burden of sorting out justice on the appellate court? This way, the judge would avoid biting the bullet and making the hard decisions. The appellate court is under no time constraints, so the Arias case could languish for years in the big black hole of the appellate docket.” Jodi needed a real legal team. She got Prince Valium and Princess Laya. WTF was with the 7 dwarfs? Travis’ sister smiling about the verdict and they all want her dead, but this isn’t murder, Right? At least there’s still the appellate court hopeful there are some decent, honest, uncorrupted, and unbiased people still left in the judicial system that will end up combing through all this shit that’s been piled up by Judge Sherry and Juan. Stay strong Jodi, Justice will prevail

  731. It was so sad to see the look on Jodi’s face today when the verdict was read. The interview after was even sadder. She must be devastated but would someone please tell Jodi not to ask to be put to death. The last person executed in Arizona was on death row for 21 years before being executed in December. Death is not instant and death row is not pretty. A women’s prison would be better while she appeals the verdict. Please tell her.
    Thankyou.
    A Mom and Grandma

  732. Jodi,
    Words cannot begin to describe how utterly upset, pissed off, saddened and distraught I am right now. Although we have never met and prior to your story I knew nothing about you, I somehow feel spiritually connected with you. Hearing your life story and unfortunate events you have been through makes me feel like you are that one person who would fully understand me, my thoughts, feelings and reactions. I have been in so many relationships with men just like TA and I now have that sense to pick up on those signs and I know you have been through hell and beyond. Girl stay strong, you are worth it. I have full faith this will go to appeal and you will WALK. There are many people supporting you and pulling for you because we know you are worth it, you don’t deserve what was brought to you today. There are many factors that we all see and it will set you free. We love you, keep your head up and we will see you soon!! Xoxoxo

  733. I don’t know why, but ever since the trial started, I have felt more and more compelled each day to reach
    out to Jodi. Something about her spirit, or presence just makes me believe she is far from a cold-blooded killer….she was simply pushed too far emotionally and possibly even physically by a man who probably had no real compassionate regard for Jodi as a person. I know it may seem like the whole world is against her, but if you ever read this Jodi, just know there are plenty of people out here who can still tell what a beautiful spirit you have, even those of us who have never met you. That’s a pretty incredible trait to have. Stay strong, Jodi. It’s all going to be okay =]

  734. Jodi,
    I am so sorry about the BIASED judge and jury. I felt this was an unfair trial, the judge let this get out of hand with you being on the stand so long. I barely hear anything about this trial except for the people on HLN. I bet in Arizona it was on the news everyday and there is no way the jury completely stayed away from the trial. Maybe that is why juror number 5 was excused.I was so confident that your verdict was going to be guilt of 2nd degree murder. I hope you don’t get the death penalty and I hope you have more of a positive attitude tomorrow during the penalty phase instead from your interview today. Stay strong. Xoxo

  735. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

    6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

    7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

    8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

  736. JODI!!!! My heart sunk right along with yours! I felt your pain :'( so sorry this was the outcome. I cried when i herd the verdict. I’m praying tonight your sentence is not death. Please stay positive for you have support, you have us here to keep you going Praying for life with parole, you’ll see you’ll be free one day.

  737. Hi Jodi dear, greetings from Germany again

    I am leaving you a message to let you know that, I am very sad, about the verdict today…
    I wish you that you don´t get the death penalty, even if you´re wishing it.

    We can´t always get what we deserve, here on earth, doesn´t exists real “justice” only the one that God provides. We´re all one, and part of the universe, don´t you forget it. Death doesn´t really exists, only the body dies. Be brave. I wish you courage and strength. I´ll be writing to you as soones as you´ll be allowed to receive post from everybody.

    Remeber many people loves you very much, and I am one of them too.

    Take care
    xxx
    Monica

  738. Dear Jodi

    I am so sad for you and pray you find peace knowing that there are people that would be broken hearted if you can’t find a reason to live.
    I love your art work and hope you continue with that talent of yours.

    And to all you fucking blood thirsty vultures who got what you wanted.I hope you all feel better now.

    How sick this country has become is beyond desciption.

  739. May God bless and keep you safe until justice can prevail! You deserved a fair trail and so sad the justice system has failed you! Appeal and stay strong!

  740. I am sorry society has failed you. I have been where you have. I know the pain and mental anguish of being torn between feeling a strong love for someone who’s reality horrifies you. I am sorry this happened to you, and for whatever caused Travis to be the way he was. My ex lives a lie, and at one point in our insane relationship he told me this. It was as if I was his only confidante for who he truly was, and the weight of his issues on my shoulders combined with the feeling of obligation to remain loyal to someone I desperately wanted to break free of was just too much sometimes. Especially watching his friends and family interact with him who thought they knew him, but if they knew what I knew it would ALL have been different. Unfortunately those of us who remain the most loyal suffer the most. It has been 2 years of freedom from him for me now, and I still think of him and it hurts but not like it used to. I still feel a mixture of sadness from the pain of loss I experienced and fear of him, though I’m thousands of miles away from him now. I still feel pain when I think of him because I truly loved him like I’ve never loved any other man. He was my best friend for years before we got into a serious relationship. It was a very traumatizing situation to live in such contradiction, something many people never go through therefore cannot understand. I was deeply in love and happy for the first time in my life, sharing a bed with my boyfriend, living under the same roof. Shopping and hanging out alone together and sharing many loving, intimate moments with. And in my bed of roses he, without any warning, unveiled all the thorns. It took me what seemed like forever to realize that he is INCAPABLE of thinking and feeling about his very serious issues, and this realization did help me break free emotionally and mentally. I am finally to a point where I am no longer in hell. I hope you have found peace within yourself, a place in you that no one can take from you. That kind of peace is obtainable no matter where you are, or what you have or do not have. You are in a very serious situation, and I think you deserve to know that despite those who have so much hate and ignorance, you are loved by many and not as misunderstood as you may feel sometimes. Be strong, stay strong, love yourself, and never lose sight of who you are.

  741. Two things – The verdict you got today is because Nurmi did not believe in you. It was CLEAR. Too passive – no spunk to fight for you. JW did a good job for you. But Nurmi did not do you justice…obviously. He let JM be a fire ball while he sat there slumped in his chair and when he spoke – he spoke in slow motion. What is up with that! The jury did not see any sign of Nurmi believing in you.
    Secondly – I absolutely do not believe for a second that the jury did not go home and discuss the case, read the paper, look on the internet, or view the news. They were there for over 4 months. There is absolutely NO WAY all of the jurors followed the admonition from the judge and if anyone believes the jurors were faithful to the admonition, you are full of shit.

    • Jodi,
      I myself went through many years of abuse of a man I thought loved me.
      I was abused physically , mentally and sexually. It was awful.
      Today as they read your verdict, I cried.
      I know you lied, I would have lied myself. You were scared.
      and yes I most likely would have also made up a story myself.
      and I can’t blame you for it, I have been there. I feel your pain Jodi.
      If you want someone to write to I am here. I just pray that you will be alright,
      I do not know you, but my heart breaks for you. And you are in my deepest prayers, always.
      May God bless you Jodi,
      Meeshell Love xo-

  742. Jodi; I am so sorry that society and the world failed you. Be strong, don’t give up. SPEAK OUT. Tell the truth! I know you didn’t do all of this. Stop protecting whoever you are protecting. Sending love your way. ♥

  743. These are 2 messages I left elsewhere on a blog. They are out of order so read the second one first.

    When I say that Jodi may have “opened up and told the detective ‘why’ behind this” I meant that she may have opened up and offered more “clues” as to why. I do not believe that Jodi knows “why” this occurred. She needs help to find that answer. If she knew “why” she would have been able to stop it.

    I say that Travis abused her over and over and she didn’t even realized the depth of that hell. He would “jiggle the hook” he had in her to see if he still had control. I believe the event that triggered this was not when Travis told her he didn’t want anything to do with her, that was his twisted hook. It was when he told her she was “evil”. When a person controlled by evil, tells his victim, you are “evil” that was an exchange of Travis’ reality for her reality. He violated an innocent part of her. That innocent part is what she “self-defended”.

    Sure an emotionally stable, mature person wouldn’t have been vulnerable to that. But she wasn’t emotionally stable and she wasn’t experienced dealing with a master con-man like Travis.
    In simple terms, her co-dependency got her. But we, as a civilized Christian people, are supposed to administer true justice which in not the letter of the law. You people have turned the justice system of God on it’s head by demanding a criminal-punishment system.

    Be assurred, you will be judged in the same way you judge others and have your justice measured to you in the same manner.

    I’m not speaking of tha law and the 10 commandments. I am speaking of the only law that matters, the law of LOVE.

    The most dispicable thing is all those people out there cheering about this. This wasn’t a “win” You have Travis dead (and he was a dispicable, controlling, pervert, pedophile- no real harm done) and you have the loss of Jodi’s life. That should have been a somber moment. These people out there cheering are animals. They missed the importance of the whole thing. Travis’ sisters look like witches. They are very evil. The lawyer for the family that announced a coming wrongful death lawsuit was just using the media attention to get himself out there.

    Jodi will be able to do a lot of good work from inside prison on the behalf of battered and abused women.

    If she gets the death penalty, the appeals will take years. By then so much more of this will come out. As it does, the jurors will be faced with the consequences of their decisions. I guarentee you that one or more jurors will not be able to sleep over their decision in a few years once the truth comes out and the reality sets in.

    There was one woman juror seen dabbing her eyes. I wonder if she had changed her mind. Oh how horrible it will be for those that did “miss it” (the abuse and control by Travis) that caused this.

    In her first interview with the detective, Jodi mentioned that Travis said bad things to her but then minimized it with a statement that she has been called worse by others. Behind that statement is the answer to “why” this occurred. If the detective had been listening instead of trying to “get her”, he would have heard that and asked the proper follow up question while she was feeling it. He would have asked “What bad things did Travis say to you?” “How did you feel about that?” Perhaps, and most likely, she would have opened up and told the detective the “why” behind this whole mess. But it was right there staring the detective in the face. Agendas. Everyone has their own self-promoting agenda.

    God bless those that did their best to further truth and to help Jodi.

I do not believe that Jodi knows “why” this occurred. She needs help to find that answer. If she knew “why” she would have been able to stop it.

    I say that Travis abused her over and over and she didn’t even realized the depth of that hell. He would “jiggle the hook” he had in her to see if he still had control. I believe the event that triggered this was not when Travis told her he didn’t want anything to do with her, that was his twisted hook. It was when he told her she was “evil”. When a person controlled by evil, tells his victim, you are “evil” that was an exchange of Travis’ reality for her reality. He violated an innocent part of her. That innocent part is what she “self-defended”.

    Sure an emotionally stable, mature person wouldn’t have been vulnerable to that. But she wasn’t emotionally stable and she wasn’t experienced dealing with a master con-man like Travis.
    In simple terms, her co-dependency got her. But we, as a civilized Christian people, are supposed to administer true justice which in not the letter of the law. You people have turned the justice system of God on it’s head by demanding a criminal-punishment system.

    Be assurred, you will be judged in the same way you judge others and have your justice measured to you in the same manner.

    I’m not speaking of tha law and the 10 commandments. I am speaking of the only law that matters, the law of LOVE.

    The most dispicable thing is all those people out there cheering about this. This wasn’t a “win” You have Travis dead (and he was a dispicable, controlling, pervert, pedophile- no real harm done) and you have the loss of Jodi’s life. That should have been a somber moment. These people out there cheering are animals. They missed the importance of the whole thing. Travis’ sisters look like witches. They are very evil. The lawyer for the family that announced a coming wrongful death lawsuit was just using the media attention to get himself out there.

    Jodi will be able to do a lot of good work from inside prison on the behalf of battered and abused women.

    If she gets the death penalty, the appeals will take years. By then so much more of this will come out. As it does, the jurors will be faced with the consequences of their decisions. I guarentee you that one or more jurors will not be able to sleep over their decision in a few years once the truth comes out and the reality sets in.

    There was one woman juror seen dabbing her eyes. I wonder if she had changed her mind. Oh how horrible it will be for those that did “miss it” (the abuse and control by Travis) that caused this.
    These are 2 comments I posted on another blog. They are out of order. Please read the bottom one first and the top last.

    In her first interview with the detective, Jodi mentioned that Travis said bad things to her but then minimized it with a statement that she has been called worse by others. Behind that statement is the answer to “why” this occurred. If the detective had been listening instead of trying to “get her”, he would have heard that and asked the proper follow up question while she was feeling it. He would have asked “What bad things did Travis say to you?” “How did you feel about that?” Perhaps, and most likely, she would have opened up and told the detective the “why” behind this whole mess. But it was right there staring the detective in the face. Agendas. Everyone has their own self-promoting agenda.

    God bless those that did their best to further truth and to help Jodi.

  745. Jodi, the verdict is a disgrace to the justice system. The evidence against you was weak and unreliable. The jury was DEFINITELY influenced by the media. When I heard the verdict I cried for you. I’d been in a similar abusive situation and during the trial I felt a connection and a deep empathy for what you’ve been through. So you lied… So what? You were scared. I would have lied too. If I were in your shoes I cannot imagine how the media and the prosecutor would twist the private details of my life. The prosecutor was horribly offensive and ignorant towards all women. HLN is absolutely morally reprehensible, and comprised of idiots. Don’t let them make you feel ashamed for being abused, sexually active, or for simply having ovaries. Don’t give up. Keep fighting.

  746. Jodi,
    I still today cannot stop thinking about you and how horrible you must feel having to go through all of this, all I can think about right now is what I can do to help you and what is going to happen from here. I have been reading posts not just here but on all different sites trying to see if I can gain some more insight into this. I don’t understand it at all girl, I know you already know that and prolly feel that. However I had a thought and I really started looking inside of that thought. The more I sit here and analyze it all I feel like its making sense, stay with me here….;) I followed the Casey Anthony trial as well Girl I think I got it figured out and #1 Don’t give up the fight, i know you are right, you know you are right, America knows you are right and so does that jury. Casey Anthony jury found her not guilty because she was innocent just like you my dear. That jury had numerous death threats people trying to literally hunt them down which goes along just as you said the psychologist told you, people (General Public that gathered around like its a circus) feel the need to persecute someone. I honestly think that jury was afraid of giving you the verdict you deserved so instead they gave you the verdict that was less of a threat to them, the verdict that the peanut gallery wanted, ultimately the WRONG verdict. There was a reporter on HLN who was standing in the hallway reporting on what the jury was doing while deliberating and she mentioned that there were a couple of the women who walked out for breaks and whatever and every time they did they looked fustersted and angry. The same juror(s) not sure if it was 1 or 2 was tearing up as she was walking out of the deliberation room after signing the verdict. I really think that is very telling I think the rest of them persuaded her to vote guilty that way WHEN you appeal and get an acquittal it isn’t weighing on their mind everyday wondering if they were going to be safe from general public. All the mistrial files were more than grounds for a mistrial and everyone knows it. Now use that in your favor and fight it, you have suffered enough at the hands of Travis and there after FIGHT IT, WALK FREE. Don’t give up stay strong and one last thing before I am done you are doing an AMAZING job keeping your composure I have nothing but respect for you!! Xoxoxo

  747. Jody, you have to stay strong and work through this thing. There is still an appeal process, and even in the unlikely event that this fails, you could still get a 10 year sentence and be free while you’re still young and will have a full life ahead of you. Staying strong and alive is all that counts now. Do it for your friends and family. You can do this! It won’t be easy, but trust me, you CAN do this!

  748. Jodi, I just want to say I think you are an amazing lady, regardless of what anyone says or have to say about this unfortunate situation. Death penalty? Hell no!!! Please don’t accept that! I would luv to be a true friend of yours thru your troubles, if you would accept. Any support that I can offer, I am more than willing to give. Not too sure how I would know if you actually get to read this or if someone reads it to you, but I can be reached at (blank) for any responses. Keep ya head up Jodi! and by the way, I think your beautiful, a lovely lady indeed. Please get back.

    You can support Jodi using the link under her artwork. She can receive post cards of support. I cannot post your email as it’s unsafe and you will be harassed. ADMIN

  749. Justice was not served yesterday!!! Whatever you did, you did because you are human, you justified yourself based on the actions of Travis! You know in your heart it was neither wrong or right but a justification on your mind, body and soul. You loved him and probably still do, but people will not see it only you know. I do not know you on a personal level but I feel you have a strong will. Whatever happens, stay strong, keep you head up, your mind cleared and above all, keep your soul pure. There are people who love and care for you, there are people that want to know you not for this crime but for who you are in general and all these people believe in you, so know that you are not alone in this world and the next. We are watching and praying for you!

  750. Jodi,

    I want you to know the jury, the legal system, the police and the general public at large do not understand abuse. Abuse can take many forms – physical (which everyone recognizes), verbal and emotional. In the end, they all scar you and traumatize your emotional and physical health.

    I saw your interview where you indicated you would rather die. I would like to just say to you, think about this. You are very intelligent (even the press acknowledges this). You have a story to tell and we all need to work together to expose abusive men. I can tell by the pictures of Travis, his soul was hollow and he was all about himself. I too have been a victim of domestic abuse. I am trying to break free, but it is very difficult. In my case, I had an affair because I knew my husband would want nothing to do with me and he would quit abusing me. Unfortunately in my case, and in your case, the legal system simply does not believe or understand abuse. The abuser does everything in secret so there are no witnesses. The trauma I have endured for almost 25 years causes me to disassociate when I am in the presence of my abuser. I simply go down a black hole – physically I am there, but my mind is so afraid I cannot function.

    Think about getting some therapy to understand what happened. Then, write and collect your thoughts and try to write a book, study and come up with a test law enforcement and judges can use to determine whether or not someone has been abused.

    Although I can understand you would rather die than spend life in prison, there are many good things you could do for women who have been abused and traumatized their entire life and cannot find a way out. I am sure you were very hurt when Travis said he was dating other women. I am sure you tried everything you could, kept changing to make him happyand worked harder. It is part of what we believe because we believe we are the problem. Everything the abuser has accused you of is a reflection of him.

    There are many books available you can read regarding abuse, the symptoms and how to heal from it. You are in a unique position if you do get life in prison. You will have the time to study, write and research in order to provide help to other women who are in similar situations.

    I am very sorry you have gone through all of this. I am sure the pain of Travis betraying you hurt you to the core. Try to find a way to make something good out of what has happened. Work through your issues and help other women.

    I will be praying for you and hope you will consider giving time to writing about the abuse, Travis, his hollow soul, his willingness to use you and then discard you. Work through the hurt There are other women who can benefit from what you have been through. Use your time to create something good out of what has happened. I believe you can do it and you will be in a unique position if you do get life in prison.

    God be with you as you go through these very difficult days. Remember, everything happens for a reason. All things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. Take the bad and make it good. Help others with your knowledge. This is one of the most difficult things for people to understand when they have not been in the situation themselves. I pray you can devote yourself to writing and really dissecting what happened, the anger, hurt and rage you had boiling inside of you (I am sure for some time) and why you chose the solution you did. I know how hard it is to walk away from an abusive person. Often, they will not let you go and will continue to play a cat and mouse game where they take you to the edge of death, revive you and do it all over again.

    You are in my prayers and I hope you can find the strength to write, research and help others as you work through what happened and move towards healing your soul.

    Best Wishes,
    Melinda Wilp

  751. prayers for you to find peace in this, although as upset as you look your eyes show that you have accepted this and in your words, they are the jury you were to have to move onto the next place… god bless.

  752. I say Travis abused you and led you to this act. I think he used you and hurt you really bad and if I would have been on your jury I would have set you free. The people that hate you are sick and are evil. I support you and if you get prison time I will try to get money put on your books so you can have something. Love you Jodi and your in my prayers.

  753. Dear Jodi …..

    I will forever pray that justice be done …
    I will forever pray for your freedom …

    I pray the hardest right now that you be at peace …
    I pray our Lord take you in His heart and comfort you in this,
    your most difficult trial …

    He “IS” the Divine Shepherd and will “Always” be there for you!

    The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
    He makes me lie down in green pastures;
    He leads me beside still waters;
    He restores my soul.
    He leads me in right paths For His Name’s sake.
    Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil;
    For you are with me;
    Your rod and Your staff – they comfort me.
    You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies,
    You anoint my head with oil;
    My cup overflows.
    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life.
    And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord My whole life long.

    And your supporters … here and elsewhere …
    We will be here for you as well!

    God Bless you Always & Forever !

  754. Jodi first off , I love your attorneys especially Jennifer, she is awesome, wish she would have closed then the mam, I truly hate watching HLN input their twisted views be glad when I do not have to watch them, you have been blessed with so much talent and love, we will always be here for you, be strong the Jodi we love praying for you always., please be aware of how much your family loves u, and only you

  755. Hang in there, Jodi. The jury’s decision was tragic, and undoubtedly reached due in part to fear and pressure from the community…..especially after the Casey Anthony fiasco—–our justice system is so flawed…..you have supporters, unfortunately, in this society, it doesn’t really matter…does it? Be strong, kiddo.

  756. I would really like to be able to write Jodi. Does anyone know of a way she can receive mail? I have been locked in on her trail along with the rest of America, but the difference with me is I DO BELIEVE HER STORY. It’s sad that the whole country is attacking her and not even giving her story a chance. I feel like she was convicted before she even had a trail. But there is always APPEAL. Hopefully she will get another trail and the jury will have to be in locked down the entire time so that can’t watch Nancy Grace and HLN and have there mind brainwashed. Stay strong Jodi!!!!!!!

    You can write Jodi by following the prompts under her artwork page. ADMIN.

  757. Jodi,
    You are a LIGHT wherever you are!
    Been on your side from day 1. Don’t give up. There are lots of us out here who support you. Sending positive energy. May God bless you!

  758. it saddens me that people take each others lives..but what really sickens me is that as long as the law allows, the world thinks its fine to justify a life taken by taking more lives legally!…the whole justice system is completely screwed…they find this woman guilty but let Casey Anthony walk free after killing her young daughter!…SO SAD.In the end on only God can judge and that’s all that matters.My heart goes out to Jodi and her family and all of the sickening people who this its ok to applaud when a person is found guilty…not really knowing the entire situation or even caring about the fact that not only has Travis’s family lost a loved one…but Jodis family and loved ones are hurting as well for the loss of her.May God be with you all #Praying for a greater outcome

    • Jodi, My heart broke for you! Your attorneys need to fight harder when you go to appeal. TA’s Myspace is a good place to start…Chad Perkins posted 5 or 6 years ago at christmas time….something about…Travis cruising the streets of Phoenix in search of underaged boys to cozy up to for Christmas…and then says Just remember not to break your probation….That shows Travis was a pedaphile and why wasn’t Chad on the stand. AZ Circuit court access shows TA was defendant in case showing financial responsibility….shows he was no financial king. Jodi, don’t give up…..keep fighting until you can’t fight any more…..God Bless You

  759. Jodi, Be strong, we are all praying for you the fight is never over, I am looking forward to the day you are set free.

  760. Jodi,

    Just wanted to let you know that we support you and are praying for you!

    LA

  761. Jodi, Please know that I pray for you every night and I believe that God put you here for a reason. I believe that reason was to shine a light on domestic violence that still remains behind closed doors. I also was abused and I can relate to things that were done to you and I am sorry that the jury could not open their minds to all sides of your story. Not everyone feels that you are guilty and I hope that you choose life to be able to help others who have also been abused. Stay strong and keep god in your heart and life will be ok.

  762. Jodi,
    I don’t know who reads your messages but I hope you receive it. I was more than disappointed in the verdict. The media especially HLN tore you apart and I have no doubt these jurors watched Nancy Grace and Dr. Drew every night. What kind of doctor nevertheless a psychiatrist gets on a show every night and does what he does? I have no respect for him. You didn’t have a fair trial.
    Jodi, you are in my heart and I wish I could do something to help you. Please remember I am here for you. I and many others support you 100%!!!
    Lots of hugs,
    Theresa

  763. Jodi, you are a beautiful lady, it is expressed by your demeanor, your physical beauty, your intelligence and your art work. Keep your head up high . . . be strong and always remember . . there are millions of people who care about you and who love you . . . your not alone. Many, many people (and myself) are praying for you. You have the most beautiful smile . . . we love you Jodi God bless you . . .

  764. Jodi,
    I can’t believe the verdict. I am so disappointed. You have many people supporting you. I am one of them. You are such a beautiful woman inside and out. Be strong and pray.

  765. Dear Jodi,

    Hi, my name is bradley and I feel so bad for you. My com-time is running out, so I will write again soon. If you need a friend, I will friend you on my facebook page.

  766. Fortunately Jodi won’t be harassed for much longer. As soon as HLN goes on to the next story Jodi will thankfully be left in peace as will we.

  767. Jodi-This is for you:
    “There is no such thing as a hopeless situation. Every single circumstance of your life can change. Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all the things in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at the never ending thoughts that come back to you of more things to be grateful for. You have to make a start, and the Law of Attraction will receive those grateful thoughts and give you more just like them. Your power is your thoughts, so stay awake. In other words, Remember to Remember.” *Rhonda Byrne, “The Secret”*
    Don’t lose hope, Things always have a way of working themselves out-even if it seems that things are getting worse before they start to get better. You are most beautiful inside and out. Now you must be courageous and you will prevail. My thoughts and prayers are constantly with you and your family. <3

  768. Hi Jodi,

    I feel so bad for what happened to you. Because of the media circus (feeding-frenzy) I don’t think that you had a chance of getting a fair trial. I didn’t like that prosecutor, he was more interested in putting on a show than getting justice. If you need to talk to someone that is not a part of this, just a regular person to talk to; send me an e-letter or I can friend you on my Facebook page. I have been to jail for just a few days at a time and I would rather die than exist like that. So, I can understand where you are coming from. I really hope things will pan out for you. Oh, I sing too and I write lyrics as well. What I am best at is playing drums. I like how you sing. If you write a song and they will let you borrow my Zoom H2 I will put drums on it and I know guitar-players, bassists, keyboardist,etc.

    Write me back Jodi,

    Very Sincerely,

    Bradley

  769. I WILL JUST SAY THIS JODI NEVER GOT A FAIR TRIAL YOU CAN NOT TELL ME THAT THOSE JUORS DIDN`T SEE ANY NEWS ABOUT THE TRIAL THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE IN A COMA…
    STAY TOGETHER JODI, GOD IS WITH YOU..

  770. Jodi please do not despair! God is with you now and always! does anyone know why Jodi’s twitter account was shut down and by whom? Sandy

  771. Jodi you will win – don’t worry. It may take 50 years to get your win, but you will win.

  772. Jodi, keep thinking positive, your attorneys know what they are doing. they will save your life and get you a life with parole. travis was abusive and maniupulated. the alexander family does not have power over you.you will get over this hurdle. just think there are a lot of apealable facts, such as the prosecution witnesses giving interviews so go after those people. keep strong jodi

  773. Hi Jody,
    Stay strong. I have never been in your position, so I cant say that I know what you are going through, but you have to be strong and prepare for whatever comes next.
    There are so many things I would like to say right now, but I just can”t find the words. I guess I’ll just say that I believe in you and will keep you in my thoughts. I will always be Team Jodi!

  774. What really matters is there are people who are compassionate to Jodi. I watched the court proceedings and the defence and the prosecutor and the media. It has been a circus with the media – HLN _ as the circus master. No one looked at the conversations between them. People denied that she was choked and kicked by him. Domestic abuse victims also denied the facts that she was abused. I lived in a domestic abuse home as a child. My mother never told anyone and I had a diary growing up but never wrote a word about it. In fact a family friend years later remarked to me that I was lucky to have such a nice father. He was such a good man. Martinez is a bully. The jury believed that stone face 1 year experience psychologist over 2 professionals with over 60 years of experience between them. The judge allowed martinez to yell at them during questioning. There is so much more. People are quick to say Jodi has two sides to her – the vicious murderer to the sweet girl. What about travis. It was very evident that he lied about his values so was it so hard to believe jodi. Her defence was lame. Why didn’t they x-ray her finger. Marinez lied lied lied. But conveniently the jury ignored it.. This whole thing is a travesty in justice. The jury should have been sequestered and a gag should have been put on the media until the end of the trial. All they did was negate everything that supported Jodi. Jodi is a lost soul and she made a lot of wrong decisions. Even if she did intentionally kill him I have compassion for her. But there is proof that he tormented and disrespected her. I do believe he attacked her but I think she should have said she took her grandfather’s gun to protect herself on her road trip. We have enough stories about women alone who have been abducted and killed. She should have admitted that she ran to her purse and pulled the gun to protect herself. The death scene does not support the prosecutor scene. I have lost all respect for Nancy Grace. Watch out for karma Nancy. There is no place in this cruel world for Jodi and it is a puzzle. God loves you and Travis will be there if you decide to pass over. There will be peace.

  775. Jodi
    I am supportive of you the entire way
    I know how it is to be used cheated on, and hurt. I hope you do not get the death penalty. You are a beautiful woman and I pray those idiots out there will see it as well. You are a victim of an abusive asshole, a low disgrace for a man, a cheater, and a loser. You are smart, beautiful and very brave. I just started following your case and I feel your pain. Women as well as men are victims of the crimes but its the innocent ones who are guilty.
    I hope you get life with parole.
    Come to Atlanta and I will show you love
    Real love
    Please stay positive and continue your fight until the very end
    Love you lots
    Sammy

  776. Nancy Grace and HLN staff directly influenced the jury’s decision. The staff led by Nancy Grace of HLN, in my opinion, did apologize for the crime. They laughed in public in front of millions of people from a person who was being judged and being suspected. The games created on the premises of the Court, the way they laughed representing the murder of a person in self-defense, and was clearly demonstrated. A big pressure was put on the jury so that they had no other alternative but to yield to the power of the owners of the media. THERE WAS NO JUSTICE. We asked the lawyers to see if it can get a retrial. Demanding that Nancy Grace and HLN be sent to jail because before being convicted and had already condemned her. Nancy Grace will take powers that do not belong to her and that Jodi, her family and her defense deserve: as moral and economic compensation. Finally, Nancy Grace should go to jail.

    Nancy Grace y el staff de HLN influyeron directamente en la decision del jurado. El staff de HLN encabezado por Nancy Grace, en mi concepto hicieron apologia del crimen, se rieron en publico ante millones de personas de una persona que estaba siendo juzgada y era sospechosa .Los juegos que crearon en las instalaciones de la Corte,la manera como se reian representando el asesinato de una persona, en defensa propia como evidentemente fue, crearon una presion tan grande en el jurado que ellos no tenian otro alternativa para ceder ante el poder del dinero de los dueños de los medios de comunicacion. NO HUBO JUSTICIA. Le pedimos a los abogados observar si da para repetir el juicio. Demandar a nancy Grace y los de HLN por injuria porque antes de ser condenada ellos ya la habian condenado. Nancy grace se tomo atribuciones que no le corresponden y merece tanto Jodi, la familia de jodi y la defensa, una compensacion moral y economica y que nancy grace se pudra en la carcel.

    • YOU KNOW AND I KNOW AND EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS THAT THAT JURY WATCHED EVER SESSION ON HLN THE JURORS WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE IN A COMA TO HAVE NOT SEEN ANY THING ON THIS TRIAL…….AND THE JUDGE DID NOT MAKE IT REAL CLEAR AS TO HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS FOR JODIS LIFE…SHE WAS 100% FOR THE PROSECUTION AND THAT TO ME IS OUT RAGESOUS…I WISH THIS SITE WOULD UP DATE US HOW JODI IS DOING..

  777. JODI:
    As a female, i always stand on your side whatever you did. Be strong, Be happy. You will get rid of this painful life experience. Once you are able to distinguish what love is or what meaningful life is, you will be happy and longevity. Love just a momentary feeling, especially falling in love with a man. I’d rather give up it.

    Bing1974

  778. My wife and I have been supporting you for such a long time and continue to this day.
    Jodi you have a 2nd chance heading your way for redemption – appeal. You absolutely don’t deserve the decision that this jury handed to you. I totally agree with Jenn and others that every bad situation has a way of working itself out. You will be victorious. Please be strong and believe that a brighter future awaits you.

  779. Hey Jodi, I am so sorry that you were treated so hideously by the man you loved, the justice system and witnesses who lied to protect their professional or personal reputations.
    I understand the type of abuse you suffered – and it is probably the most destructive and dangerous to a woman in her ‘hormonal nesting’ period of life.
    You weren’t ( so very obviously) in your right mind and you need to now discuss exactly and truthfully the mental anguish and torment you were suffering at that time.
    Those psychological ‘tests’ where you fill in the forms are BS*** and indicate nothing tangible nor complex in the results.
    Your case has so many mitigating circumstances, I would be highly surprised if you aren’t granted a new and proper trial, where the jury is sequestered, because this one was totally out of order, in every imaginable way. Kind regards from Sydney, Australia

  780. Jodi, as a 14 year old, I am so sorry that you were found guilty. I know that you are innocent and I want you to know that God is there for you. I will be praying that you do not get the death penalty, and that maybe the jury would reconsider. As a 14 year old, I have all of my teenage friends praying for you too. It is too bad that the jury did not believe you and that HLN has to put all of the crap about you on TV.
    God Bless You, Jacob

  781. Write me back, Jodi? I want to send you a bible verse that pertains to your situation.

  782. My dearest lil Jodi, There are no words to express how hurt and sad I feel…but mostly angry at the news media for all the critical remarks they say about you…Especially that horrible NANCY “DISGRACE’, SHE IS SO FULL OF S—! Along w/the recovering alcoholic Jane Velez-Mitchell, Mike Brooks, Ryan Smith and lets not forget that Jackson nit wit. They are a disgrace (NANCY) to mothers, aunt,daughters. They must have children and let see how they feel when their child is bashed criticized , as they have done to you. Just remember sweetie, you are loved and cared about by so many people around the world. True, you did something wrong and I know you are sorry and I know you have feelings, to hell w/the news Media and them saying all those things. Oh yeah, lets not forget Dr. Drew…..just because they have titles behind their names doesn’t mean they are smart as a matter of fact it does not take brains to say all what they have been saying. Sweetie, you stay strong and brave. My heart goes out to your family and you. And as much as I really don’t want to but I know karma will come to all of those damn fools that are professionals and think they know everything about how you feel, what you should say, if they could hear themselves they would realize how much they are disliked. ( I was going to say hated). Travis is at fault too, it sound like he was not perfect and I hate it when they say you trashed him, well, duh, he shouldn’t have acted the way he did. The only thing that you did wrong, was that you met and fell deeply in love w/him. You were too good for him, you have so much talent as well as beauty inside and out..NANCY GRACE is just jealous cuz she has a face that could stop a clock!!!! Who cares about her twins and that her boyfriend was murdered, I don’t. I am so sorry that all this has happened to you. I wish you had never met him. Jodi, be strong. We love you and support you and please don;t harm yourself. Our Creator will carry you thru this. Your in my prayers every nite.

  783. We heard the news about Jodi being under observation in the psychiatric ward…as it has now become customary, there are the media pundits coming up with all sorts of speculation as to why she is there. is there no compassion, no humanity left inside these people? I cannot imagine what Jodi must be experiencing right now…it really is not far fetched anyone of us would end up in psych if we were under similar circumstances. Really–this is someone’s daughter, someone’s sister. What if she was YOUR daughter? Not saying that what she did was a good thing, but the reality is not a single one of us knows what happened that day in June. Only God knows–it is Him who judges, and it is through His mercy that all our transgressions are forgiven. All some people do is spew venom at every opportunity, not realizing that one of their daughters might some day be in a position similar to Jodi’s. Who among us is without sin?

  784. I love you Jodi! I wish this never happened and we could of met maybe things would of been different! I am not some weirdo just see a beautiful young woman that has been wrongfully accused! Something has to drive a beautiful young woman to this! Why can’t the court see it unreal! I would love to be able to meet u one day I don’t know if your going to be allowed visitors or not but I will still write you. You are in my prayers forever

  785. Sweet Jodi,
    Thinking of you tonight and I just wanted you to know that
    you are so loved by me.
    Please stay strong Jodi! So many people love you.
    and I am one of them.
    Feel better soon pretty lady.
    With all my love,
    Meeshell

  786. Hi, Jodi. Have followed the trial from day one. The jury didn’t get it right! Do not believe in the verdict. Strongly believe they just followed the media. They should have been sequestered. You did not get a fair trial. I am praying there will be an appeal for you. All the publicity from HLN was a shame. So tired of hearing “bombshell tonite” and they don’t put anyone on much but for the prosecution. Juan Martinez is a bully. I had to laugh the day you told him off. Now it’s about your press conference. You tell them. Why did you let that guy do that to you? You needed to walk. Hello—–has no one heard of mental abuse and all the secrets Travis was keeping? Thought the Hughes questioned him about the way he was treating you and then their story changed. I carried gas in my trunk traveling thru dessert land, stood on those shelves, didn’t want a red car and taken stuff back to Wall-Mart with and without a receipt and received money back. Stay strong. It will work out. Don’t do anything you will regret. Say “Im Sorry”. Praying for you! Sue

  787. Jodi, always remember you are blessed and loved! Never let the “controlled media” get to you. All they want, like any prosecutor, is another win under their belt. Take is from a member of the legal profession, the legal system is one big joke and never a search for the truth or justice. I’m embarrassed to even be associate with the “professional” I can understand 100% why people say kill the lawyers and the world will be a better place. My wife has had a similar experience in a past relationship and relates to you 100%, but instead of stabbing her boyfriend for abusing her, it as the bedroom door in the heat of passion where she totally could not take the abuse any longer and blacked out. It took me alot of time, patience, and love to make her feel like a the kind, caring and loving girl she truly is after all the mental and physical abuse she suffered. Dont’ worry, KARMA will adjust and everyone who speaks out against you, including that extremely biased and controlled HLN and Nancy Grace will get theirs whether in this life or the next. Why is it that anytime someone tired to defend you even slightly over the last two days, they shut that person up??? Are they afraid the TRUTH may come out. Love ya!

  788. Obviously no one on that jury has ever been in an abusive brain washing relationship before and realize how far someone can be pushed before enough is enough and you either switch off and get away or you snap.

    I hope you go for some sort of appeal; problem with this country is that people that sit on jury’s have no legal experience and no matter what any one thinks or says the majority of jury members act on emotions not on facts and believe anyone sitting in a defendants chair is guilty by default; did not help too much that you are attractive I bet a few of the women based their verdict on that fact.

    Cannot believe you did not get a temporary insanity.

    Remember a lot of people are on your side

    Keep fighting it

  789. Please fight for life. You are talented and have much to give. I do believe you were horribly abused mentally. This is such a hard situation all the way around…but please fight for your life.

  790. Dearest Jodi,

    Many of us women out there understand the feelings that boil inside us when we fall in love with and trust a man who ends up hitting us and abusing us in other ways. While most women don’t act on those feelings, I believe we are all just a click, or a few inches, a few years, a few dollars, a few too many slugs to our bodies, a few too many lies told to us away from acting out on our extreme frustration when a man abuses our bodies and minds. I don’t know exactly what caused you to be able to stand up for yourself. Maybe it was just your time. I’m sorry that the judge and jury didn’t care or understand why and how these things happen, and that it could happen to them one day. I’m sad for both of your families and both you and travis. I am not arrogant enough to really judge anyone involved. That is for God to do, and God will understand what judges and juries cannot. Please continue on and help other women who have been in your position. There will be more cases like yours to come. Police still do not believe beaten and abused women. They don’t understand what happens to the female mind when she is beaten, loved, beaten, then loved, emotionally abused, and loved, used, and again beaten. I am afraid the the women of the world might need more women like you, who are incarcerated for similar crimes, to counsel them on how to come to peace with what they go through. We won’t always be believed. We often lie to avoid humiliation. Please, devote your life to relieving the suffering of other women in your shoes.

  791. Be strong Jodi, never give up, we always have appeals. Stay strong. Love always……

  792. Dear Jodi,

    I cannot imagine all the pain you have had to endure. There are many negative forces at work these days. The HLN network is spreading gossip, innuendo, and using the media to spew foul accusations and dark ideas.

    Don’t let that negativity hold you. Keep it at bay. Trust in God, and ask him for comfort, strength, and peace. He will give it to you. You are such any amazing person. You are really awesome, and beautiful, and strong…stronger than you even know. Don’t give up. Those negative forces are in the world, and very strong today. God is stronger, and he will keep you, and love you, you are his. Don’t be afraid, don’t let fear take you down. God will remove the fear if you ask him to.

    I love you, we love you. Look at all the people showing that love for you today. You were so amazing to stand up to Martinez, and all the negativity he brought. Jodi, you inspire me with your intelligence, strength, and beauty. You have the ability to inspire, and just with a smile to light up everything around you.

    Don’t let this unfortunate situation bring you down. Your defense team will appeal this horrible decision by the jury. They were influenced by the biased media. Please don’t get down because of that. When you feel low look to God, Have faith in him, and ask him for strength, and help, always.

    I hope and pray, that you will get a retrial, with a sequestered jury, hopefully in another area. We are behind you, and will be strength for you. God though, will get you thru this, have faith in him!! And always ask him in prayers for his comfort, and strength.

    Take care,
    With love,
    Dave

    • Jodi, My heart broke for you! Your attorneys need to fight harder when you go to appeal. TA’s Myspace is a good place to start…Chad Perkins posted 5 or 6 years ago at christmas time….something about…Travis cruising the streets of Phoenix in search of underaged boys to cozy up to for Christmas…and then says Just remember not to break your probation….That shows Travis was a pedaphile and why wasn’t Chad on the stand. AZ Circuit court access shows TA was defendant in case showing financial responsibility….shows he was no financial king. Jodi, don’t give up…..keep fighting until you can’t fight any more…..God Bless You

  793. Jodi please know that you have supporters on the east coast too. Me and all my friends and family. I have a hard time believing you did it even though you say you did. Nevertheless we love you, we understand you and we are praying for you. Maybe you have turned to God to ask “why?” Only God knows the answer and all He does He does well. Don’t lose your faith in Him, keep loving Him no matter what. You are in His hands, trust in Him. You will see His purpose at some point. He has blessed you with so many gifts. Remember He chose Jesus and gave Jesus to us and we all know how Jesus suffered at the hands of Haters and a bloodthirsty crowd – and for what crime? Your circus of a trial reminded me of Jesus’s persecution. God knows how much one can handle and He will never give you more than you can handle. Open your heart and let Him in all the way. He is waiting for you. You were led down the wrong path with Mormonism. I would love to meet you in person – I wish I had someone like you as a sister or sister in law. I’m not a religious fanatic but just someone who believes in God very much and during the darkest times of my life I’ve turned to God for help and He always pulled through for me! In return I’ve learned to weather the worst storms knowing that His purpose will be revealed in due time. God has blessed you Jodi – please don’t wish death on yourself. We want you alive in this world. Hugs and love from the East Coast xoxoxox

  794. Hi Jodi,

    I’m so sorry that your jury fell for the media bullshit and the prosecution’s shadiness. Justice was not served for you on Wednesday, but please hang in there. The appellate courts in AZ are more fair and will hopefully treat your case with the consideration that it deserves.

    I know that you feel like giving up and that death would be the best option right now. But please keep fighting – you are strong and you DO have people in your corner. Some of us saw through the façade that the State painted in regard to Travis’ character. We know that you didn’t plan to kill him. And if any of us had been on your jury, we’d have fought for you.

    You and your family are in my prayers, always.

  795. Ms Arias

    History shows us implicitly that any time a woman is found guilty of killing a man it is because that man has abused her in many horrible ways and the legal system is completely sexist and always comes down on the man’s side. History will show the world that this situation is exactly the same, the jury may find you guilty but in our hearts we know that you did what you had to do to protect yourself.

    Ms Arias, I am in Australia and should you ever manage to come here then I volunteer to be your guide to show you how beautiful this country is and I will make sure that you have the happiest memories to carry with you for the rest of your life, memories that you will one day be able to share with your grand children.

    My thoughts are with you and I know you only did what was necessary to protect yourself, the truth will come out one day and even a non-drinker like me will open champagne to celebrate a great victory for justice.

    Keep smiling, keep believing and remember that there are many people (even a stranger far away in Australia) that are in your corner. xxx

  796. Dear Jodi:
    I wish healing for all the pain you’ve endured;
    I wish you courage and strength in the face of hardship;
    I wish you genuine happiness;
    I wish you real peace, the deep and true kind, that goes all the way to the soul.
    Don’t give up, Jodi. I believe deep down in my heart that a better day is coming for you soon. You are always in my prayers.
    Love,
    Susan

  797. It took me a few days now to get back up off the floor. I have cried for you since before the verdict and now since the verdict has been given. Now I’m fighting mad for you Jodi. This is unreal what they have done to you!!!! I am praying for a miracle for you!!! That the truth will come out and you will be set free!!!!!You are such a precious soul, please don’t give up, please hold onto your faith in God. You survived this far you can do it Jodi. God Bless You.

  798. DEAR jodi,. i know that 1 or 2 jurors didnt want to give u 1st degree.. 4 how they were looking,or there face showed.. its a shame that the rest of the jurors also brainwashed them,or i will never understand y the rest of the jurors dont let some1 stand up 4 themselfs.. i hope u get a retrial.. this is A WRONG VERDICT!!!!

  799. <3 Jodi <3

    Hey girlie, just know there are so many people out here who are pulling for you. There are so many reasons you can appeal for, and I know that is why so many mistrials were requested. I am trying to get a letter out to you soon okay? Don't let the verdict get to you. You STOOD UP FOR YOURSELF and by doing so you gave MILLIONS of women a VOICE AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ABUSE!!! You are inspirational for that!
    Your art work is beautiful and I wish I could afford it!! I love the classic movie stars series!
    You are in my prayers and thoughts doll.

    SM Crybaby <3

  800. PS. suicide watch is worse than closed custody. 🙁 I’m sorry you are in there. I don’t believe you would take your life~and I pray you don’t go that route mentally or emotionally because you have SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR. To put out a SURVIVOR shirt claims you are a SURVIVOR of ALL THINGS doll. So many of us are here for you to help you get through this. If I didn’t have a felony I would go see you. Things will get better once you get to Perryville, but the suicide watch there SUCKS so veer away from it 🙂 *speaking from experience*
    Let God change your life, IN CHRIST JESUS WE ARE ALL NEW CREATURES <3
    Love, prayers, hugs
    SM Crybaby

  801. I’am so sorry the way the verdit went and how much the news turned things around and twisted the truth so she was made to look guilty before it was the end of the trial.

  802. May 10/2013

    Hi:
    I pray that you are feeling stronger today and will be able to face whatever consequences may come your way.
    There is no point to my dwelling on what you did wrong in life, because you are already well aware of the extremely poor life choices you made.
    It would not help you for me to judge you so it is my decision not to do that, but rather build a trusting friendship with you in offering some emotional support to you.
    It must have been very dreadful for you to have to face all the hardships as a result of your actions. While I do not condone them, if I can be of some emotional support to you while you are in prison it is my desire to help provide it. Perhaps I can help lighten your burden through cards; letters etc.
    I have absolutely no designs on you other than that of a helper as I am sure God does not want you to walk this path alone, no matter where it may lead.
    It is very strange as I am not even sure why I am bothering to contact you. It is just that I feel this is something God wants me to do. Perhaps through demonstration you can learn about empathy. Putting others needs ahead of your own. Imagining how they must feel and working towards lessening their burdens in life.
    I have been most blessed in life as God has given me many blessings.
    1. I was put up for adoption, but not abandoned. I was given loving home with parents that loved and cared for me enough to discipline me when I did something wrong.
    2. I was created, as a slow learner, but provided with the tools to compensate for my shortcomings in life. This taught me patience.
    3. I was bullied as a child. God taught me forgiveness. How to keep trying. Stay focussed on my goals. Never Give up.
    4. I was lonely and God gave me dogs; cats; rabbits. Taught me responsibility on how to care for them and put their needs ahead of my own.
    5. As an adult God blessed me with a wife, who would love and support me all my adult life. ( 31 years now.) What an adventure it has been. This has furthered my patience with people. My ability to compromise.
    6. God gave me fantastic Grandparents and a farm to run to whenever my daily life burdens became too strong to bare. Never have I felt closer to God than when I visit the family farm.
    It occurred to me that perhaps you grew up without the same blessings. Did God give you empathy?
    I do not know, but if he did not, then I feel so sorry for you as it must be very difficult to go through life not fully understanding the emotion of empathy.
    I would like to challenge you in a positive way.
    Try not to dwell on what lies ahead, but rather, start asking yourself, how can I help someone else who is in need of physical or emotional support
    Set yourself a goal each day. To thank someone, who has shown you a kindness. Ask them if there is something you can do to help them and then cheerfully go that extra mile for them.
    Jodi, I do not think you are as black as the media has painted you. You have serious problems, but you are intelligent and can think of ways of turning some of this around.
    It would be nice to be remembered not just for the bad things, but for all the positive things you will do in the future, no matter how long or short it may be.
    Please make your remaining life count for something good.
    I know, if you ask, God will forgive you. It is my hope Travis will too.
    I pray that God will spare life, so you can spend the rest of your life touching others in a kind & loving way.

    Regards,

    Thomas Pratt

  803. I am saddened and disgusted at the American legal system. Jodi – you are a person, warts and all, but not the monster that HLN created. This is NOT journalism and it is NOT justice. I am incensed not only by an unsupportable verdict but also by the media that the Jury were clearly watching. Lets just try everyone in the media. It will be much more efficient and cost effective. Oh, and since everyone will FRY it will also help the population problem. Sorry Jodi………so sorry.

  804. Hey Jodi-You’re in my prayers hang in there.It’s horrible,it’s just wrong the way you have been treated.Everybody assumes the worst about you without really knowing the facts.Whatever happened to “innocent until proven guilty”?I’m keeping my finger’s crossed that you get that lucky break enabling you to get what you want,to get what you deserve.Take care.Tim

  805. Jodi- I admire your courage. I have followed your case and believe you have been wrongfully accused of murder in the first. Self preservation is self defense. How did the jury not see that? It is unjust to seek justice for such a man that did not treat women with respect but used them and threw them away without a second thought.
    You had the courage to preserve your own life over a man that had zero regard for anyone but himself. You possess what Stacy Peterson, Laci Peterson or Nicole Brown did not. Courage to fight for yourself. I can empathize with your situation as I myself have been in a similar situation for the last two years. I attempted to file an order of protection against the man and it was denied. There is no protection for us women out there from the men that use and abuse them.
    Jodi- you are in my thoughts and prayers and in your same situation would want the death penalty over a miserable long life on the inside without a purpose.
    May your experience be a warning to all men out there that we will not take this abuse emotionally or physically any longer!

  806. I can’t believe the jury convicted you of 1st degree, although I feel for his family for their loss, I do believe you are innocent of murder. I seen part of your interview were you say you want to die. I hope you reconsider, I think you have many issues for appeal. Even if this jury votes for death, you need to keep fighting for your life, if for not yourself but for your family. They will help you through this. You never know what could happen. Just know there are people out here who believe in you and are willing to show support for you. Keep your head up!!! The only thing I would say to you is stop doing these interviews, let people move on to the next case, you take some time to reflect on what’s happened before during and after the death of Travis.Let the anger of everyone subside. Then if you want to do and interview people may be more accepting of your words. God Bless!!!!

  807. Jodi, Stay strong . always remember the future is all you can controll. it doesnt matter where you are ,you can do good things for alot of people. Take what ever time god grants you and make life better for others. You will find peace and purpose through acts of kindness.You have a gift ,you are very smart help other girls so they dont fall into the trap you got caught up in. this will give you the will to live…

  808. So sorry about the outcome. Please don’t give up Jodi. You are a beautiful person inside and out. My husband and I are sadden to hear that you want the death penalty. Don’t give up, your life is worth fighting for. We will be praying for you and your family. God Bless you.

  809. I want to know how she feels about what she did, I normally can’t understand when people act out violently, but lately I have been struggling with a strong desire to hurt someone who hurt me so bad that it’s all I think about, like I said – normally I can’t see why people do such violence to another, but when it’s personal and it hurts so much, it’s different, now I get it, but is it worth it? how do people feel after the violence? are they glad? or does it stain your soul more than the pain that caused you to act out violently in the first place? I have been struggling with these feelings for 2 years now and I am still so pissed about what he did to me, I just turned 50 and my husband divorced me after 20 years of marriage and (wait for it) moved in with a 29 year old, and the courts do not protect the wife anymore, I have no job, no money – so yes, I get it it now, I understand why women get scared and bitter, it’s because men just throw us away like garbage when they are finished using us, so you go Jodi! and people should be more careful how they treat each other, but then I realize that the Travis’s of the world are corrupted because they too have been injured, they/we are products of their/our families who just keep passing down their pain and ignorance, we hurt because our care givers hurt, parents don’t seem to know how to nurture anymore, – wounded, ignorant parents produce wounded, ignorant more of the same, hurt people hurt other people, the cycle of pain continues……..

  810. Jodi – I just recently started following your story and I believe that you are innocent and completely misunderstood in everything that occurred. I am hoping and praying that you will get a second chance or a re-trial, or any other opportunity to prove your innocence. Just know that there are people out here who support you and are on your side. Stay strong.

  811. Hi Jodi;

    It seems in this USA, true murderers are often set free or change their plea and become a burden to society. They’re lying, dig the Aurora dude. Basically, I would say Martinez acted like a rabib dog in breaking you down. He is a killer, removing life from life.
    Please don’t ever give up and know you can build a life wherever you are, in time. You can be a positive force!
    Instinct, tells me the truth about what happened, why, and that you are a worth while person. One whom can love, and be loved.
    God speed, Jodi!

  812. Jodi: I trust you are a woman of God That is great! I have been praying for you that God lays his hands on you during your hell on earth. I would like to write to you in prison, I know that is difficult but thought I would give it a try. Jay

  813. Jodi: I almost forgot, stay strong keep your head up and if you do go from this earth, I will meet you in heaven when I get there. God be with you Jay

  814. Dear Jodi:

    I do not want you to die. I want you to live because I think the greatest gift that we could ever receive is the gift of life. And there are so many people in this world who love you and care about you including your family and friends who are fighting for you. You have got to keep on fighting, Jodi, today, tomorrow and for as long as it takes until you are free. And we have heard a lot about how beautiful you are, but for me what makes a person beautiful is the fact that they are unique and there is only one person like that on this planet. There are probably other Jodi Ariases out there is this world, but there is only one of you and that is what makes you beautiful as a person. You have so many gifts that you can offer to this world and so much potential for you as a person that you have yet to realize. I know that the verdict last week was unexpected and disheartening to digest, but just because you get knocked down does not mean that you are knocked out. I urge you to get up, dust yourself off and fight. You are an innocent woman. Fight for justice. Fight for freedom. Today, tomorrow and for as long as it takes until you are free. And, always remember, you are not alone. God bless you and your family.

  815. I hadn’t followed this story at all until after the verdict and I am sure there is much I do not know. I haven’t read many previous comments either so what follows is completely my own thoughts. I haven’t been able to form an opinion yet on Jodi other than I take no joy in seeing her punished but I believe I have Travis figured out pretty well. He was a first rate a–hole who absolutely treated Jodi like s–t. Travis was a horrible person who gives the rest of us men a bad name. I wouldn’t have killed him but couldn’t blame a woman who would cut his balls off. I don’t understand what Jodi was doing with him but I often find myself wondering that when viewing relationships from the outside and I don’t have much experience when it comes to relationships so I’m definitely missing something here.
    I do know I would personally never ever treat a woman the Travis treated Jodi and the idea of what he did makes me sick. If I somehow did treat someone that way I would surely expect and know I deserved to have my a– kicked. If things got a little out of hand from there well, as Raylan Givens said, “That’s just the risk you take when you choose to live the life of a small time a–hole.”
    Anyways that’s my two cents worth for now. I hope it makes the cut.

    • Jodi, My heart broke for you! Your attorneys need to fight harder when you go to appeal. TA’s Myspace is a good place to start…Chad Perkins posted 5 or 6 years ago at christmas time….something about…Travis cruising the streets of Phoenix in search of underaged boys to cozy up to for Christmas…and then says Just remember not to break your probation….That shows Travis was a pedaphile and why wasn’t Chad on the stand. AZ Circuit court access shows TA was defendant in case showing financial responsibility….shows he was no financial king. Jodi, don’t give up…..keep fighting until you can’t fight any more…..God Bless You

  816. you what really turns my stomach, those three guys who raped that girl and put it on the internet and the girl later killed herself, why arent they in jail. Thats unfair, men are pigs most of the time and thats coming from a man. Hold on jodi, you have lots of the public around the world who feel your pain and wish they could help you more

  817. Hi Jodi I am so sorry you are going through this. Please don’t be suicidal. I’d hate to see you die. I am on your side. By the way Jesus loves you. He died on the cross to save the world from Hell. You can ask Jesus into your heart today. This is how. 1. Admit you are a sinner. We all are. 2. Be willing to turn from sin (repent). 3. Believe Jesus died on the cross, was buried & rose again the 3rd day. 4. Invite Jesus into your life and ask him into your heart.

  818. Dear Jodi – I hope you are coping with the guilty verdict. It’s obvious to me that most people do not understand the true definition of a psychotic break. I am rooting for you despite this setback. I agree with you about HLN – I call them the HLN Vigilantes and Nancy Grace should be fired. I do not watch HLN anymore and wish it didn’t come included with my cablevision package. I do not support that kind of hysterical crap.

  819. The pain within u radiates into deepest parts of my soul.
    I pray that G-d helps comfort you and takes away your pain.
    G-d bless you.

  820. I am just so worried about Jodi, she has been so strong but now with them saying she is in the psych ward with no one from the outside to talk to not even her mother. Jodi, sweetie you are in my prayers. I know we have never met but if there is anything I could ever do just let me know.

  821. I’m so happy that I found this website, I have watched this entire trial with my husband and we both felt this Verdict is just sickening. There is no premeditation she never would a paper trail as she did, also if she went there to kill him she had so many available time frames to do this. As for showing no emotion she has had 4 years to sit in jail and mourn him. As for being in abusive relationship twice regardless how were treated we are always there to please because were afraid to loose your loved ones. We never report to police due to were afraid to loose our man. I cried from this insane verdict, these jurors should of been sequestered and this trail should of been in another city. As for they for the Alexander family I was appalled by all of there out burst and there rolling of there eyes, shacking there heads, I know these jurors had to have the opportunity had every opportunity to watch all news coverage. My heart goes out to Jody I will continue to pray for her, this just sickens me ..,,,If anyone has an address where I can write here I would love to support her and be there for her I an a mom of 4 I’m 46yrs and I been though a lot in my life from bad childhood and a lot of abusive relationships. I know I can give her a lot of support..Thank You for a wonderful site,,

  822. they need more information from abuse counselors/professionals….and jodi has a right to her feelings….may want to be conservative now, but she has a right to her feelings.

  823. Jodi,
    I am just thinking about you as I do always.
    I just want you to know that you are always on my mind and I love you.
    Please don’t give up Jodi! You keep fighting until you can’t fight any more!!!
    God Bless You Pretty Lady , you are loved by me.
    Love, Meeshell xo-

  824. Stay strong Jodi. You were a victim of torture and were sadly scapegoated by a lazy media.
    Don’t give the liars what they want, stay strong and support for you will keep growing.

    If there’s a way to contact her in jail, I’d like to know. The media was cruel and invented
    a character.

    Stay STRONGER than the lies!

  825. Dear Jodi ….

    You “do so much” .. deserve your mother!
    And all of her unconditional love ……

    A Mother’s love is something
    that no one can explain,
    It is made of deep devotion
    and of sacrifice and pain,

    It is endless and unselfish
    and enduring come what may
    For nothing can destroy it
    or take that love away . . .

    It is patient and forgiving
    when all others are forsaking,
    And it never fails or falters
    even though the heart is breaking . . .

    It believes beyond believing
    when the world around condemns,
    And it glows with all the beauty
    of the rarest, brightest gems . . .

    It is far beyond defining,
    it defies all explanation,
    And it still remains a secret
    like the mysteries of creation . . .

    A many splendored miracle
    man cannot understand
    And another wondrous evidence
    of God’s tender guiding hand.

  826. Jodi — Your sweetness is palpable even through a tv screen. There are many of us who see what has happened to you in this case, and we have just begun fighting to regain you your freedom. Hang in there, friend. We’re still here for you, and we’re not going anywhere.

    xoxo

  827. Jodi I will never believe you did this. I know you loved Travis. You are so petite to handle a big man like that. I hope the truth comes out as to who is responsible. Then you can go on and have the wonderful life you truly deserve beautiful girl.

  828. I am praying for you. I too, like so many others, feel that you are not guilty of the sentence handed down to you. I prayed for manslaughter and your redemption to have a life after all of these troubles. You are a beautiful young lady. God is forgiving of our sins and HE will be there to help us in the future. Stay strong. I will continue to pray for you always. God Bless you. Love & hugs to you.
    PS I am in favor of trials not being televised at all. I think your trial would have been handled better. I will always think about you and your family.

  829. Jodi, sweet girl, I hope you get my message. First off, I want you to know empathically that I totally support you, and I know many others who do, as well. One of them is my 6’4″ brother who believes you hands down. He said, “This girl was scared for her life.” A 100-pound girl could never hurt him unless she had some heightened adrenaline running through her veins, making it obvious you were scared for your life. I have been in your shoes, and I understand the cycle of abuse. Travis was the calculating sociopath, hands down; it’s so plain to see. I know you lied in the beginning BUT who wouldn’t. I can’t say I don’t blame you. People lie for less crimes, such as something as simple as sticking their hand into a cookie jar and taking one. Honestly! Of course, you lied you were scared for your life.

    It infuriates me that others feel they can judge you. They will all be judged for their sins, Jodi. I don’t understand why your attorney didn’t seem to rebuttal things more thoroughly—it wouldn’t take a lawyer to defend you—all he had to do was use common sense, laymen terms and simply logic!!!

    As, you may already know when the verdict was handed down, the media judged you again by saying WHY didn’t Jodi cry?? I say because you held your head high and didn’t scream out because if you would have they would have then said you are “violent.” So, poor child, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Don’t they realize you have spent four years in jail already? They are making such a quip over that you didn’t faint or react how they assume you should! Shame on them!!!

    I wish with all my heart that I could meet you. I think you are very brave. I’m a woman who had been abused for years, and recognized a tragedy could have happened in my life, as well. Jodi, I am so sorry this has happened to you. There is hope after abuse. So many blessing. I’m a proud mother of three, and also a published author who writes mysteries, and my hope is one day to unleash my voice. I have a lot to say on the subject of MENTAL, EMOTIONAL and DOMESTIC ABUSE. Jodi, I feel so connected to you in a kindred-spirited way.

    Jodi, I feel so compelled to fly out to get your side of the story, the nitty-gritty truth that you were not able to share during your trial. I feel there’s so much more the world needs to know. Your side! Your feelings! I would “WRITE” it with such compassion and raw truth if it would help you in any way. I would title it “Shame on them they know not want they are doing”. Your so call friend, who I can’t say his name, is telling his side and compelling lies about you. It’s sickening. I know he is lying his B—- off. Why? Because he never had a chance with you! And, now he has betrayed you. He’s a very transparent man!! I know the truth, and I can hear the lies in his voice. For him, it’s all about his ego!!! I didn’t even have to watch the entire trial to recognize this fact (which I have since), it’s obvious you are scared, and I know in my heart you are telling the truth. I feel it. I know you didn’t premeditate Travis’s death in any—after all, this wasn’t a perfect crime. This was not the doing of a person who planned it out. Period! If you had planned it out then WHY would you have left the camera behind in the washing machine? Hello??? They say you are calculating. A CALCULATING person would have KILLED him in his sleep and cleaned up the mess and would not have taken pictures before killing him. JEEZ! These people and the media have NO idea what it’s like to be abused!!!! I was there as in the same place as you, however it was 20 years ago. My recovered ex husband mentally abused me, it was mind numbing at the time, but at the time I LOVED him unconditionally, as I believe you did Travis and in a unexplainable way you probably still do. This Travis pushed you to the brink—I know what it’s like when your mind spin in the moment of mental abuse. The world doesn’t understand unless they have been there. If you planned his death…I believe you would have done it when he was unbuttoning the other woman’s blouse. How can the world not understand this is beyond me? Jodi you need to get the women who have been abused behind you and quick. Forget the lawyers, most of them have no understanding of a woman who’s been abused. If I was your mother and when your lawyer said he doesn’t like you 9 days out of 10, at that moment, I would have stood up and said what in the world are you saying? Jodi, you need real people who have been through similar situations to fight for you. I would have said “innocent” maybe manslaughter, in the least, and would have given a verdict of 0 days in jail and years of therapy to undo what Travis did to you. I don’t know if you will get my message but I pray you do. Perhaps your family can contact me or the ppl that manage this site will. Please Google me – See that I am real and so for you!!! My daughter is on the top 10 young rising actress list, I won’t mention her name here for privacy matters. She is for you too Jodi. Her heart shines through as yours did the first time I heard you speak. I am just heartbroken the media has harmed you so terribly. Things should not have been televised over the last four years before the trial. That’s just wrong! God be with you. I am praying for an overturn in your verdict. Let love and light surround you and your family.

  830. Does any one KNOW what else we can do to help this young woman!!!??? This is the craziest verdict I have ever heard. Please read my message above. I am in tears for any young woman that is or would be in the hands of the media now days. This kind of abuse needs to be eradicated. Many of us have been in her shoes…we know in the moments how “words,” horrible words heard over and over from a man/woman who claims to love us and what the abuse does to the mind, soul and spirit! They pull us in and push us away….hit and beat us down, only to later say they love us and the cycle begins again. Why because we love them and they know it…. hmmmmm….

  831. One last thing….If Jodi is so calculating Why would she go to Travis’s house and have sex if she was planning on murdering him. Hello? How can a jury say this is premeditated in the first?

  832. Chin up, Jodi. I love ALLLL humankind, don’t care what has happened. Praying for you and your family. You are so worth living, you have so much to offer the world! luv2ya, Jodi

  833. Jodi, we are all behind you and you are always in our thoughts. Don’t choose death Jodi. Keep fighting. If there is an ounce of justice in this land, you will be freed.
    Please please please don’t give up.

  834. Ms Arias and Team Jodi

    Is there an address where we may write to Jodi and personally pass on our beliefs, our thoughts and our hearts to her. While we are strangers to her, especially one sending wishes from Australia, it could be a real lift to her spirits to receive cards and letters in the first person.

    If Ms Arias is reading these messages then I hope that she understands that she has an open invitation to come to Australia, I will be honoured to take her touring this wonderful country and to help her smile again and understand that the world is a beautiful place because of people like her. I shall show her the beauty of my country, she may pet the amazing animals, swim in the warm oceans and relax knowing that she would not be recognised. When she returns to America she will have memories that she will be able to share with her future children and grand children.

  835. I don’t believe this case was proved beyond a reasonable doubt, too many questions left unanswered. However the verdict is guilty of murder 1 and Jodi took it very bravely. Jodi’s courage is an inspiration and I know she’ll be brave whatever happens, she’s such a strong person. She withstood weeks of interrogation on that witness stand, terrible stress without even getting lunch each day. Yet she kept her meekness and composure throughout except that once when she broke down and wept in the face of that vile toad Martinez’s hammering. Jodie, I know you have a good heart, you sing that beautiful hymn so sincerely and, no matter what happens, you will go to a better place when your life’s journey is finally ended. Maybe I will meet you one day there, in that world with no tears..

  836. well, i just wanna say my heart goes to you for real, iv been tru many things myself where iv couldv been in the same place. I don’t care what the verdict read, i do not beleave it was premeditated murder. and i still support you, iv have grown a love for you by watching the case, your body language and i can tell your a good person. I beleave they didn’t give you a fair trial, and i pray that it will be resolved, if it can be overturned or there is a way for them to get you out, please take life! there’s people out hear that want you alive.
    Love,
    Christa

  837. Jodi, hang in there the truth will come out . I believe you had to protect your self and I am in total support of you. What he did to you had to give you nightmares.I feel he abused you and you feared this man. I just want you to know there are people out there in your corner . Keep up the fight for your freedom. never give up.

    Love
    Kevin

  838. Dearest Jodi, I watched your post trial interview on Geraldo the other night, and I was so touched by your honesty and bravery to be able to speak so soon after hearing such tragic news. I posted earlier that you need to stay strong, appeals are on the way and the misconduct in this case will be brought before a higher court. Be patient and trust your higher power to give you the strength you will need to get though the coming months.
    I was sickened watching the blood thirsty mob on day the verdict was read fanned by the hate mongering media. They needed a Jodi Arias to boost their ratings and now they will move on to another unfortunate soul who will find it impossible to get a fair and impartial trial. You are a beautiful soul Jodi, I send you love, light, and peace. I am hoping to get your address so that I can send you little cards of encouragement from time to time.

    To Jodi’s family, especially Sandra. As a mother of a 32 year old daughter, I am so sorry for what you too have had to go though. You were incredibly brave to sit in the courtroom day after day for your daughter knowing there were so many people sitting near you crying for her blood. You are a testament to mother hood and unconditional love. I hope that you can find peace knowing that there are just as many people rooting for Jodi and begging her to live and not give up. Our prayers go out to you and will continue to lift you up.
    Sincerely,
    Evanne Gregory

  839. Your case brings back memories of a similar relationship I had with a woman and luckily I came out of it scared and hurt, but alive. I think in life we all take for grant it the power that relationship can bring out between individuals and at times it’s hard to let go and that’s when things become complicated.

    I have never met a woman that hasn’t enjoyed sex and will to try and give all within a relationship, but they want something in return and that is love, kindness and respect and this all is dependent of our individual personalities. In reality your sexual relationship is no different then many people that I know and it’s a shame that people in general don’t understand that point. However, what we don’t know is apart from the sexual relationship, is how the two of you interacted and made each other feel from a psychological and personal standpoint.

    With that I will end by saying it’s a same the relationship ended with the death of Travis and you being on trial. However, I feel that something within the relationship went bad and something that he possibly did over time that provoked your uncontrollable actions. A relationship is 50/50 and although the out come was horrific, you’re not alone in this to take all the blamed.

    Wish you and your team the best moving forward and I wish you the best in this fight and try to keep a positive mind and always remember that they’re people that are wanting to see a positive outcome to this situation. A positive outcome for you, enough is enough and I hope people can learn from this situation. Feeling are like fire, you play with them long enough and someone is going to get burned and I feel your feelings were demoralized over time within the relationship.

    Keep Fighting

    I very much want to give this message to her. Can anyone tell me how to contact her

  841. May 13/2013

    Hi there!
    I am asking The Lord, to guide my hand as I write this letter to you.
    You will be faced with some very serious challenges over the next several years and it is my sincere hope that you will face this bravely.
    I pray that you will find a way to start looking at ways you can help others within the prison system. Please devote the remainder of your days to good works.
    It is my hope that you will want to be remembered not as the person that made a tragic mistake, but as the person that made a serious mistake, but worked for the betterment of herself and her fellow man.
    The Lord, may be testing you right this moment, to see if you are worth saving. My guess is he wants you to win by turning your life around. To do that you must absolutely come clean about anything you may have withheld from your lawyers. Believe me, they are out to save you and only act in your interests, but they can only act based on what you have told them and the information provided.
    “Be, Don’t just Appear to be”
    In closing I would like to leave you with a piece of advice my Head Master left me with.
    This is a secret to maximizing you potential and it has never failed me in over 47 years.
    Work as if everything depends on you. Pray as if everything depends on God. It is an unbeatable combination.
    Regards,

    Thomas Pratt

  844. Dear Jodi,

    I was so depressed for you last week. I could not believe it. You were tried on past trials that the public felt went wrong. There is hope, look at the Michael Petterson case aka the staircase murders and others, there is reason why you are where you are, there must be a message in all this. Look at the world and how crazy everyone is, this barbaric madness needs a messenger. Please do not give up, I have a daughter too, its just me and her, and my ex, her father was very mentally abusive to me (and I never called the cops on him) and my own mother (who was abused by my father) would take his side not mine.

    Your interview was so moving you were so honest and compassionate and I am sorry for all the mean vindictive people, but there has to be a reason for all this. Hang in there hun, you have many people pulling for you, read picking cotton or books of inspiration to keep your spirits up (if you can ask for books to be mailed to you let someone know I will send it) where people get released, the truth will come out, this is not over!

    All my prayers and love,
    Penny

  845. Jodi, I wrote this poem for you over the weekend. I hope that you or one of your family/friends gets to see this ASAP and gives this to you for motivation.

    “Stay Alive”
    The verdict is out, so speaketh the jury,
    “Guilty!” they said as the haters flashed a smile.
    The vultures swooped in with venomous fury,
    Emboldened by injustice at this trial.
    They claim to love Christ yet cheer for your death,
    Whilst making the Mormon prince into a martyr.
    I will fight for your freedom until my last breath,
    Unwilling to surrender for there is no need to barter.
    I know you said death is a viable option,
    But I insist that you reconsider your life.
    I am a foot soldier to your cause and its adoption,
    Willing to fight the challenges which are sure to be rife.
    Stay alive, Jodi, for your family and friends,
    Stay alive for the people who created this page.
    Stay alive for the chance to start over, make amends,
    Once we free you, sweet dove bird, from your cage.
    To me, you are beautiful and lovely as a woman,
    Talented and artistic, passion flowing from your art.
    Someday you will find true love with a true man,
    And he will want to get inside your mind, soul and heart.
    Stay alive, Jodi, for the other abuse survivors,
    Stay alive for the gifts God has put into your hands.
    Always remember we love you and we are the drivers
    Of the train of justice soon to be part of your plans.

  846. I really grew to like Jodi during this whole process, she is a beautiful young woman . I feel horrible about the outcome i really wish her the best , she is in my thoughts and prayers . I was wondering is there a way someone could really write her at the prison she is at ? I know what its like and letters mean so much when you do not have your freedom . I hope all is well with her family . Well i am TEAM JODI for sure !!!!! So if anyone can provide me with a mailing address it would be very much appreciated ……
    Always Praying for Jodi and family …

  847. May 13/2013

    Hi there:

    Jodi, I would like to mail out some art supplies to you, but I am not sure where I should send them. I thought it might be therapeutic for you to have something to do to help eliminate some of the sadness & or frustration you may be feeling.
    I do not mind sending them through an intermediary if that is what you prefer or if you would prefer to wait until after the sentencing phase of your trial.
    Please let me know what you prefer and what is allowed and where I should mail it.
    Regards,
    Thomas Pratt

  848. Hi Thomas:

    Below is the address for Jodi, but they are stating that you can only send a postcard, so you might have to go through Team Jodi for her to get any art supplies:

    Jodi Arias – Prisoner No. 458434
    Arizona State Prison
    2939 West Durango Street
    Phoeniz, Arizona
    85009

    Hope this helps.

    Dale

    • Thanks for the address, Dale. I’ll be sending Jodi a postcard of support for sure, to let her know she has many friends around the world.

      God bless Jodi, you are an inspiration , your courage, meekness and lack of bitterness in the face of all the hate inspires me to be a better person .

  849. Dear Jodi, I would like to tell you that I have struggled with this for many of the past few months. I watched every second of your trial. I cannot condemn you. I know EXACTLY, the feelings, I imagine, that you felt on that, now infamous day.
    First I would like to say that I am a survivor also. I have been submitted to physical abuse, sexual abuse, and verbal, psychological/ mental /emotional abuse.
    I am sure that many will disagree with me, but I believe the worst of these are, in fact, the verbal abuse. As it brings about the LONG lasting psychological, mental, and emotional abuse. I was always a strong woman, as I was forced to grow up way too soon. Being strong women, it is even harder to fathom how we end up in this situation. We all (survivors) know that you don’t start a relationship with an abusive man. We begin by dating a “great guy”, and slowly he eases into his role, an abusive BASTARD.
    I digress, back to my statement about the Verbal abuse….. I remember asking him, BEGGING HIM, to just beat me instead. Physical pain comes to an end. Bruises fade, bones heal….but the damage of verbal abuse lasts forever.
    I can say that I spent many nights laying beside him, entertaining thoughts, vivid images of driving a knife in his back while he slept. CONSOLING myself with these thoughts. How many times I told myself, If I am another BITCH or SLUT today….just one more time….it will be one bitch too many. I knew I had to get out, but not to save my life…to save his. Days I felt this way, the ”one bitch too many” days….well if he would have put a hand on me on one of those days…..
    I KNOW he would have met his end.
    I feel that people who have never lived through this, have NO RIGHT giving there ignorant opinions….or testimony on this topic.
    I think you should claim insufficient council.
    I would love to have some feedback from you. Good luck Jodi. I know you are a Woman of Faith, as am I. You will be in my prayers.

  850. Jodi’s Situation, a parallel to many in life.

    I have not paid to much attention to this trial until the verdict was read last week and as I mentioned in my last post this situation is almost parallel of a past situation i had with an ex-girlfriend.

    I was in a relationship that was very sexual and unique in many ways and the person in question fell deeply in love with me. As much as I tried over the years to cut the relationship off , it just didn’t happen and all my ex wanted was to be part of my life. At the end when faced with the fact that I was going to be moving away, she took drastic actions that almost cost me my life.

    This case with Jodi has given me a chance to rethink my past situation and at the end I was wrong in many ways. I was wrong to continue on with this person and each time we were together it gave her hope, hope for something that in reality was not possible.

    I feel that if Mr. Travis had a relationship with Jodi and experiences many new and wonderful things with her, but at the end she was not good enough to be with or marry, he was wrong. When I read in the news that Mr. Travis had specific sexual apatite with Jodi because of his “religion” etc (which is bullshit), then he used her. Like my ex girlfriend just wanting to be loved and part of my life ended up with nothing and this situation over time can bring any person to do horrible and uncontrollable things.

    I feel for Jodi, she might have been possessive and other things with Mr. Travis, but that is relationship dependent and we don’t know what went on between the two of them. There are many Jodi’s and Travis in the world and normal people can be brought to do horrible things under the wrong situation and this was one of them and many people have suffered because of it.

    I’m not condoning Jodi’s actions. However, looking back on my past I feel that Jodi really loved Travis and he took advantage of the situation, giving her hope on a dead end street. I know people say that he tried to break off the relationship, well so did I and that is a cop out. Bottom line is he continued seeing her and worse having sex with her that he enjoyed immensely and I’m certain at the end Jodi just had an emotional breakdown.

    Like so many man I’ve played this game with a women’s emotion and almost lost everything and at the end my ex told me that I needed to pay the ultimate price, wow the ultimate. I’m beginning to realize that women have a limit and once that limit is reached who knows what the consequences will be and I feel that Jodi is a woman that reached that limit and within a moment in time just lost control and with all the emotion that built up over time, Travis paid the ultimate price.

    The news and all the things that are said on TV etc can be somewhat misleading, because this situation is reality and all of us need to understand that people can only take so much without seeing something in return, especially when playing with individual emotions.

    Wish you the best Jodi given this difficult situation and regardless you are a beautiful woman and don’t lose hope. Your situation has made me dig deep to do some sol searching and I think many more people should do the same respective of personal relationships.

  851. I get angry when I hear a man beats on a woman or a child and it is horrible and does not make him a man by any standards. I pray that you pull through this and you are free again in a short time. It is certainly unfair. I have such a huge crush on you and wish I could have been there to protect you against such violence or see you take the fall for simply protecting yourself. What a message our legal system sends when something like this happens to someone like you. There are many behind you and praying for your release soon. I love you from a distance. Just a man, nothing more, nothing less.

  852. Jodi,

    I dated a guy just like him.Everyone thought he was so nice and could never hurt a fly.Behind closed doors he was like satan! No one would believe anything I said and he turned friends against me that I’ve had my whole life. Its sad to see another jerk being seen as a great guy.Anyone would have snapped and it just shows you how close minded people can be and will believe anything!

  853. May 14/2013

    Hi Jodi:
    I would like to share a story with you. I am sure you remember this story.
    It is the story of Moses.
    What is love?
    In my opinion, Love is putting the needs of others ahead of your own. That is the best kind of love I know of.
    The best example of this is found in the book of Exodus Chapter 2:
    [1] And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
    [2] And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
    [3] And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink.
    [4] And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
    [5] And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
    [6] And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.
    [7] Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
    [8] And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
    [9] And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
    [10] And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
    ________________________________________
    Moses mother put her son’s needs ahead of her personal needs. God rewarded her by sparing her son and essentially allowing him to be supported by the Pharoh’s daughter. In fact you could say that she gave her son to God’s care and God rewarded her by giving her son back and by allowing her to be nurse her own child on behalf of the Pharoh’s daughter.
    I have always loved this passage as it teaches selflessness through example.
    If this is not love, I do not know what it is.
    I just thought I would like to share this story with you. Take from it what you will.
    Regards,

    Thomas Pratt

  854. Jodi Hang in there girl!!! There are so many people who believe in you and support you. I truly believe the injustice will be corrected ..Never give up!!! Keep the faith!!! Stay strong !!

  855. I have NEVER sent a message such as this let alone to someone convicted of murder. I wish I had money to send you, but I am on disability and live from hand to mouth. But as for my heart, my thoughts are with you. I wish I could give you a big hug. I think your desire to die is valiant and possibly the best way for a spirit as strong of yours to go – not as a bird in a cage. Let those who judge be judged. No one could ever know what really occurred, what thoughts and fears raced through your mind, etc. In a different life you would have married some boring but reliable guy and lived a life in quiet desperation. I wish I could say anything to offer you comfort but I can’t. I’ll just repeat that you are the very first person in a situation such as yours that I have ever reached out to and you have my love. – Christine

  856. Hey Jodi,

    Keep your head up and stay positive. We sent you a post card at Estrella and hopefully you get that. We would love to be intouch with you and help as we can. Stay strong and think positive. Do not wish for the death penalty. No one deserves to be put to death. Please write us back, as we would love to correspond with you. Kevin

  857. Hun, keep your head up. Have a team of people like me who support you. I am a legal professional. I have never seen a Prosecutor bully witnesses like that little man. The Judge was horrible. No idea how she made it to the bench.
    Mostly importantly, I worry about you and your health. Please lean on your family and Team Jodi. Stop watching the bullying going on because you are fragile right now. Sad to see a strong, smart and loving woman be torn down by talking heads such as that evil shrew Nancy Grace and Dr. Drew’s “Behavior Bureau.” These people have done nothing but mock mental health and abuse. Dig deep inside yourself and you will find the strength to beat them.

  858. Hi,
    At the beginning I would like to say that I know in my heart that you are a good person, no matter what anyone says. The mob reaction that media has created is sickening.. I dont think you had a fair trial because all of the media coverage and provocation. Nobody knows for surten happened that night and Im not here to jugde you, we are all sinners more all less. I hope you get somehow a second chance in life. Like many others I will too pray for you, stay strong, dont give up hope.

  859. Hi Jodi…I just want to let you now that I think you’re REALLY AWESOME in a lot of different ways!!!! There’s absolutely NO DOUBT in my mind that the Jury got your verdict ALL WRONG!!!! I believe in my heart that on June 4th, 2008 you were in a ONCE in a lifetime situation and did what you had to do to survive!!!! I give you kudos for being able to handle yourself against a much bigger and stronger individual. I followed your case from the very start very closely and feel that Travis was mistreating you from the start not long after you first met!!!! Me personally I saw NO PREMEDITATION AT ALL and it seems to me Travis was leading a double-life!!!! He was presenting himself to be one thing on the outside with his friends, profession, etc. BUT on the inside, especially with YOU, he was coming off as somebody called a ” USER “. There’s NO VIOLENCE at all in your past and one just doesn’t act like that in their late 20’s unless they’re put in SURVIVAL MODE!!!! You were doing everything in the world for him and more during the entire relationship. I felt EXTREMELY BAD when the WRONG verdict got handed down and know right now you’re being held for NO REASON!!!! I know you’re VERY INTELLIGENT, probably at least double the I.Q. of Travis. You also have quite the artistic talents from what I’ve seen as well not to mention being VERY ATTRACTIVE. Hopefully you’ll be able to get an APPEAL SOON and the you will be on the OUTSIDE looking in instead of the the other way around. I am asking you to KEEP THE FAITH and DON’T DO ANYTHING STUPID..PLEASE!!!! Things will turn out for you…I PROMISE SOONER rather than later!!! HANG IN THERE!!!!!

  860. Hey Jodi,
    Hopefully you will get an unbiased appeal and get out of this situation that is so wrong on so many levels. Know that there are alot of people out there who think you did not get a fair trial and are pulling for you. I know nothing anyone says can make you feel better, but just know that you are not hated by everyone. Peace.

  861. Jodi, I don’t believe for a minute that you did anything to hurt Travis. I think you made the whole thing up because you are a patsy for the LDS cultists who hurt him. These last few years have been hard for you- but you have a lot of people who believe in you and want you to be happy and free. Your confession was false. I know it was because the ME said he was shot LAST. Plus, you couldn’t have had blood on your hands in your rental car- there wasn’t blood on any of the door handles leading out of the rooms of the house, or on the car door handles. This hasn’t been fairly handled at all. I really think this whole thing sucks. Plus if Travis was shot first, then how could he defend himself, getting all those defensive wounds? So obviously the gun shot wound was last. And also, the stab wounds to front AND back, just make me think there was more than one person. More than one M.O. Besides, you didn’t have time to do ALL that was necessary to clean up, delete pics, clean him up, clean yourself up, put knives in the dishwasher, strip the bedsheets, run the clothes washer, run the dishwasher, and still change clothes and appear unscathed prior to 6 pm. Its just not possible, imho. I really hope you start feeling better again. You are innocent. Don’t let the jerks make you feel like a murderer. You didn’t do it. I have a Team Jodi facebook page dedicated solely to protecting your reputation- and showing the public that no- you couldn’t have done this. Especially not single handedly, anyways. You have many “friends” in this world. You will not be forsaken.

    • I agree with you fully.i think she is covering for someone because she is scared for herself or her family.the only lies she is telling are to cover for someone else maybe even a few others.i believe the intruder story more then anything.she needs to get protection for her family and herself and tell it all.i know she didn’t do this I’ve been watching this and everything from the start.come on the room mates washed clothes had been in and out that house the day she says she killed Travis how could she do it and the room mates not no she was even there for god sakes the room mates didn’t smell the dead body.a lot does not make since at all and it sure makes no since that Jodi did this.the women doctor for the prosecutor her house got broken into and her lap top stolen Jodi didn’t do it because she has been locked up Jodi got framed set up or plan scared to take the blame or plan knocked out and when she came to Travis was dead and she is confused because of what the detective and everyone put in her head saying she did it that it played on her so much into really thinking she did it things are not right about this and Jodi is innocent she did not do this.

  862. Does anyone kno Jodi’s real twitter acct? don’t wanna get a Jodi hater. We Love U Jodi!!

  863. Dear Jodi,

    You have been in my prayers and I will continue to keep you there. I was hoping things would not get to this point because I believe you truly do not deserve it. Not for one minute, have I believed that you were lying about being abused. Please do not try to think about it and concentrate on saving your life and having appeals filed. I wish we could write to you in letters and not just a postcard. For yourself, your family and for every abuse victim out here in this world please do not give up and continue to fight and do your best to stay positive while going through all of this. I know at times it is not easy but please keep the faith that in the end every thing will get better. You will always remain in my prayers,

    Tina

  864. Hey Jodi,

    Stay strong girl. Appeals do happen and will work in your favor, trust me I have seen it happen. You are a very strong willed person. I have watched everyday and see the strength you have. The truth will prevail. Keep your head up. Also If you send anything to her they only take post cards with no stickers or crayon or marker on them. Black or blue ink only with a stamp they will take off. I believe the biggest card can be a 4 X 6 post card. Look up the rules on the Estrella Jail website. I sent one and hope to hear from you.

    Kevin

  865. I just want to say i am praying for you i dont believe in the death penalty but i hope you find peace and keep God no 1 and keep him close to your heart and I hope it all goes well for you.

  866. I’ve been supporting Jodi with what i know as right since I seen the media, she deserves better. What exactly is none more than we are giving sadly, maybe she has asked for what she is not knowing of… the death penalty, I cant stop wondering, expecting the better for her. Personally, the question of what about forgiveness has now been made the new negative for the forward we go in life. – Chuezit

  867. Jodi Jodie Jodie!!! Please DO NOT GIVE UP!!! Some things you say you want really pains my heart! A verdict may have been reached but don’t let that push you towards giving up! Being that this trial was played in entirety in like every network, especially HLN (which I hate) With a new law team by your side you can at least get a mistrial because come on now, thinking that the jury never saw the case on tv and people like Nancy Dis-Grace and others which I’m sure some jurors are fans of, they saw the shows… Come on now!!! I think the jury had a verdict way long before they where given the case! Those 15 hrs they spent in the jury room was just for show… I’m glad your out of suicide watch and that your feeling a little better but hang in there girl… Fight for the truth!!! Fight for those that are in similar situations and fight to be back with your friends and family, where you belong! Love – Hugs- & kisses!!! Praying for you…

    -mark-

  868. Jodi,
    I believe that you were defending yourself against a child molestor and all around evil person who only viewed you as his property and not as an equal. In my viewpoint Travis was playing alot of people. His friends believed that he was one way while records prove he was another way with you. Regardless of what happens you will be remembered as someone who took on a sexual predator and won.

  869. Jodi, i wish you luck the next few days. This is my first post but I have been following you for months. I hope the next few days go the way you want as all I want is your happiness !!!!!!!

    Best of wishes and you are in my prayers !!!!

    Rich

  870. May the TRUTH be on YOUR side tomorrow Jodi! I don’t know what to say…know that you do have supporters who are in your corner. IF only your defense team would HUMANIZE YOU so that the JURY can relate with the facts that you do have…PUT THEM in the shoes of a battered & sodimized victim and see of they wouldn’t snapin the heat of the moment when A did what to B to equal C…JUST A THOUGHT!
    Thoughts and prayers for your freedom,
    Rebekah

  871. Jodi,

    Be strong today! Please remember yourself through all of this. Stand strong and be brave. I can only imagine what today must mean for you. All I can say is ultimately we all only have one who can stand in judgement of us, while I understand you must face 12. Please know you are not alone. My heart will beat with yours. Keep your head up, your heart and soul open and fight. Best wishes and much love and light coming to you.

    Kimberly

  872. I recently became aware of this case through Sky TV in London, this young lady should not be in prison she is a victim of terrible abuse, sorry folks but there must be something seriously wrong with your judicial system, please keep fighting this girl deserves justice, the man was a depraved monster.

    • Yep John! Same reaction in France! Now that on top of that the US “justice” system accepted to review OJ Simpson’s case while his abuses and his liability have been proven, it really shows that the US “justice” system listens to…. Money, not justice. This is just…. Plain disgusting. Shame on this jury, this judge and this prosecutor!

  873. Jodi,

    PLEASE, if you are taking the fall for this, please speak out, have protection for you and your family, tell what you know to the court, PLEASE speak out, you CAN’T give up your life so easily. I’m praying for you, I feel you as if it was me. You are so lovely, beautiful and so talented, you can’t allow blackmail when it comes to your life.

    I’m so worried for you. I think of you every day. What the court, Bully Martinez, the biased rotten stinking judge and all the other corrupt bastards have done to you– is criminal and I feel so angry for you. If only I could visit you but I’m in London 🙁

    I am feeling so angry with the US INjustice system and I pray for a miracle for you. What has happened to you has shocked me so much, I didn’t think it possible.

    How the haters can’t see your sensitivity and honesty, beats me, or maybe they can and can’t stand having to look at themselves.

    I’m just so proud of the way you have handled this, so very proud, I don’t know how you’ve done it, I really don’t, take care of yourself, Jodi, feel hugged and loved, because you are, very much xxxx

  874. May God be with you today Jodi, Be strong and know that what ever happens it is in God’s hands and he will take care of you.
    to Sandra, I am praying for you and your baby girl and as one mother of a daughter to another, I am holding your hand in spirit as you sit in the courtroom today.

  875. First off let me start by saying I have never been more ASHAMED of our so called LEGAL SYSTEM then I am know in all of my life!! This BEAUTIFUL LADY (JODI) NEVER HAD A CHANCE FROM THE START!! How these so called jurors could TOTALLY IGNORE Travis own voice stating that Jodi sounded like a 12 year old when she orgasm. How does he know what a 12 year old CHILD SOUNDS LIKE IF SHE HAS A ORGASM? WHICH SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AT ALL!!! So THANK YOU Jodi for doing the world a FAVOR by SAVING NO TELLING HOW MANY CHILDREN FROM THE GRASP OF YET ANOTHER SICK PEDOPHILE!!!!! I have a 13 year old daughter and let me state that if anyone like that sick Travis ever hurt my BABY what Jodi done to that sick asshole will look like a slap on the wrist!!! I’m from Louisiana and I would do things to someone like Travis things that this world could never imagine!! Second let me say to you Jodi how SORRY I AM that you had to who knows what kind of ABUSE from such a SICK PEDOPHILE for like Travis who gives the Males a BLACK EYE, But also let me HOPEFULLY GIVE you some comfort by saying there are REAL MEN OUT HERE FOR YOU & I WOULD BE HONORED TO RECEIVE A LETTER FROM YOU & I WILL BE SENDING YOU SUPPORT SO YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED IN THAT HORRIBLE PLACE!! I live in Utah and I know just how BAD OF HIPPOCRITES THE MORMONS ARE!! PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP & LET THEM WIN I WILL STAND BY YOU FOREVER & WOULD FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE!!! For all those people that say when they look in your eyes they see no soul, LET ME SAY TO THOSE ASSHOLES (YOU HAVE TOO HAVE A SOUL TO BE ABLE TO SEE A SOUL!!!) I so wish I could go see you on one of your visiting days you don’t know how BAD!! If you want to write me. I am a single Dad of 3 whom I been raising alone since 2004 I also have a facebook account I wish you could see. Here is something for you (NEVER LET YOUR PAST EXPERIENCES HARM YOUR FUTURE! YOUR PAST CAN’T BE ALTERED AND YOUR FUTURE DOESN’T DESERVE THE PUNISHMENT!!!) WITH ALL MY LOVE 4 YOU JAMES CHAISSON!!! I PRAY FOR YOU EVERYDAY AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO FOREVER ALWAYS!!!

  876. Jodi is so freakin beautiful…it is amazing. Please don’t accept death penalty! You will survive….

  877. Keep your Beautiful Head Up remember that what you did was all in SELF DEFENSE & there or thousands & thousands of us who know that’s the TRUE REASON FOR YOUR ACTIONS THAT NIGHT!! The plan that God has for isn’t death because if that were the case he would have allowed that SICK PEDOPHILE ACCOMPLISH HIS SICK PLAN & CONTINUE TO ABUSE YOU AS HE DONE SINCE YOU MEET HIM!! Just know this that we are here for you and for sure I will be threw thick and thin you can count on me that is a PROMISE!!!!! With All My LOVE James!!!

  878. Jodi, your younger sister Angela is my best friend. I haven’t follwed the trial much, in view of the fact I cannot stand the bias.
    However, the people who keep attacking you as well as your entire family sicken me. There is a special place in hell for those disgusting people. Although i cannot say i know the details, or anything really pertaining to your case, I do believe that you are being treated unfairly and poorly. I am sorry those people who are defamating your and your family’s name. My heart is out to you and your family.

  879. May 15/2013

    Hi Jodi:

    I have not seen the news yet for today, but I suspect that you have had a rather difficult day. I found this piece of information that I hope will bring you some comfort.

    This is something you probably already know, but I felt it would not hurt to remind you. It just helps to reaffirm things when you hear it from more than one person.

    Did you know there is only one sin that God cannot forgive – and that is the sin of refusing His forgiveness. Yes, you committed a great sin – but you would be committing an even greater sin if you rejected God’s forgiveness. And that is what He offers you! You may hate what you’ve done; you may even hate yourself for doing it. But God still loves you, and He yearns for you to come to Him and be with Him and keep him in your heart.

    Jesus Christ even forgave a murderer. Who was it? It was Saul of Tarsus – who became the Apostle Paul, the greatest Christian who ever lived! At one time Saul hated Christians, and was responsible for sending many of them to their death: “I persecuted the followers of this Way to their death” (Acts 22:4).

    But God forgave him and changed his life – and the same can happen to you. Don’t carry your burden of guilt any longer, but by faith turn to Jesus Christ and give it to Him. Then ask Him to come into your life and cleanse you of all your sins – and He will.

    • VERY NICE POST THOMAS! It helped me feel better reading it and with this thought in mind I don’t will go to bed. Goodnight, thank you…

  880. All the best for you on this very difficult days, Jodi.

    I don’t think that two wrongs make one right, so be confident that this situation in the hands of GOD will end the way He thinks is the best for all.

    The media and the people who enjoyed your so far crucifixion will pay one day as you are now their behavior.

    I truly believe you are a good person in the middle of a very bad situation, and of course you are responsible for a big part of it, but there is no reason in this world to treat you like they are doing.

    God bless you, and my prays are with you.

  881. Dear Jodi,

    I was intrigued by your story, simply because I have also been in an abusive and controlling situation with a “Christian” man. He too would turn angry and hateful in the blink of an eye. He also would upset me by using other women to make me jealous – knowing that is how it would make me feel. I remember the anger, pain, confusion, and sadness I felt – it was horrible, and thankfully I left the relationship while it was still early.

    I really wish you would have gotten away from this relationship before the killing could have happened, but I am sure you wish that as well. What is done, is done. And I am sure you would change things if you could. You might not be able to go back into time and make those changes, but you can make other positive changes in your life going forward.

    Keep fighting – keep your hope up – and make the best out of whatever situation is handed to you. God only gives us the challenges He knows we can overcome… with his support of course. Heal your heart, let go of your pain, and reach out to people if you need them. I couldn’t imagine living one place for my life either – but that doesn’t mean you have nothing to live for.

    I hope that one day you will find peace. And your family and Travis’s family as well.

    Take care and know there are people who care.

    Renee

  882. I am just sick of this hog wash…Jodi had every right to defend herself….this is a farce…
    Stay strong Jodi your day is coming….appeal appeal appeal….freedom will be yours……

  883. Jody,
    You do not know me and I don’t know you-kind of. You are me!! I do not follow the news and it is only just this week I have learned of you and what is happening in the trial. I am a full time masters student and when I was researching for domestic violence, you popped up. I don’t watch tv at all, I have all the new technology and iphone and ipad but to me, it is too sadistic and I have enough on my plate. I am now trying to learn and soak in everything that I can about you. Do I think that you are guilty? I don’t know and really only you do. Here is what I do know. I know that the way that you killed him meant something to me that may not have meant anything to the random person. I am you because I believe that you lived a life how I do.

    You didn’t kill in cold blood, I think that the way you hurt him was the way he hurt you. You were called names, belittled and forced to do sexual things with someone that you loved and that was not supposed to hurt you. You lived a “pretty little life”. Full of smiles and the right clothes and pretended around people, pretended around him. I know that girl. I know that if you are to say no or feel like you are less desirable at that moment then he will make you forget that you are beautiful and that he doesn’t need you. If you don’t do this I go elsewhere. The slitting his throat.. that speaks volumes to me, that is something that means a lot. He told you you were stupid and not to talk and that your opinions do not matter anyways, you don’t have a voice.. then why should he? Why hold me down and choke me and hurt me so I can’t breathe? It is a powerful notion one that says I have the greatest amount of control over you and you felt that you had nothing.. you were the trophy girl for him. I think you shot him many times to prove that you do have a voice, a mind, a soul and that he was not controlling you anymore. Those pics of you are so transparent and I can see right through you and your life that you led.. You don’t fool me.. I am you. I am beautiful and smart and I am a mother of two who I adore and I am tired just as you were of being controlled and manipulated and hurt. I know what has happened and no jury will convince me that you are the killer. He was the killer Jodi, not you.. He took your life and your soul from you and all you could do was pretend. I don’t wish for what you wish for in your sentence. I think that is too harsh and no I don’t believe in killing but I know why it happened. I know that if I was not so strong and had my own self identity of knowing who I am , I could easily be in your place. I am sure many of us on here and in the world can relate. I think that the death penalty for you ends your pain and ends your suffering that you re live every day. However, I think that life is waiting for you and you will be able to have that again. I think you should appeal and get every psychiatirst and domestic violence person to be with you. I wish you nothing but peace and I hope that the real truth the one that you have hidden really does come out. PLEASE FIND HER NOT GUILTY IN A RETRIAL AND AQUIT OF ALL CHARGES- YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS LIKE LIVING WITH A MONSTER IN YOUR OWN BED…….

  884. Hi Jodi,
    I know you are going through a lot right now and I am behind you all the way sending prayers. If you ever need to talk or need a pen pal I will be here for ya! I am a survivor also, and all survivors need support!!

  885. hang tough Jodi, Even that dipshit nancy grace admitted the odds are on your side for NOT getting the death penalty… Dont give up hope Jodi, ppl are broken out of jail all the time!! the innocent ones ( have possesions ready) * winks* Plus.. the death penalty is going to be reveresed within the next 6 years on Arizona… Never give up hope.. stay strong.. x

    • jodi ipray for you every day i dont believe you did this i also was abused and i can understand why you felt you had to protect your self please know you have support from people u dont now

        • If I had been on that jury I would have voted not guilty.it would have been a hung jury, If there is any True Christian on that jury they could and can not hand out a death penalty. Jesus said ,” It was once said eye for a eye, and tooth for a tooth, but, Now I say unto you do good unto them that harm you and persecute you”. To Ms. Jodi live your life for Christ and only for Him and He will bless you and keep you. And that , I can promise you. If you want I will be glad to give you my e-mail address to you and if you get a chance you are welcome to e-mail me I have some friends around there in phoenix that could bring you some reading material, that will keep your courage up. circlebbqu@yahoo,com.

        • Meeshell xoxoxox I love your posts, and your continued support for Jodi. Thank you ♥

          • Thank you.
            I support her 100%!
            I hope she knows that there are people in this world that really believe her and care.
            I myself am one of those people.

              Am I being fair?

              I will respect your opinion.

                I think you were brainwashed by a Mormon creep, a wolf in sheeps clothing.

                I thought when a good Mormon died they became a God of their own planet.

              • Thomas,
                I am so sorry I cannot find you post?
                but I am sure if you are on here to support Jodi I would agree.

                • Hi Meeshall:

                  This is what I posted on May 24th

                  May 24/2013

                  Dear Sir or Madam:

                  Again, I must respectfully point out that the use of profanity and degredating remarks to the victims family is truly uncalled for.

                  Travis’s family have been through enough.

                  I am not saying Travis was perfect!

                  He was flawed, just as Jodi is flawed. There are no winners here. Only Victims.

                  I respect the fact that there are many who are frustrated by the outcome of this trial. I also suspect that there may have been some evidence lost that may have helped Jodi’s case.

                  I agree that you may feel the need to vent. If you need to do this, do it privately or at least in a respectful manner. You don’t want people to spread hatred toward Jodi on this site. Give her victims family the same courtesy. This should not be about hate or spreading and inciting hatred. I do not believe that is the intent of your website. It is supposed to be about justice & forgiveness.

                  Please, for the sake of Jodi and for the sake of Travis’s family stop making disparaging remarks about him.

                  This accomplishes nothing and only hurts everyone.

                  You will only make Jodi look worse by doing this.

                  Please do not be offened by what I am saying, I am truly trying to show support for Jodi, as I do believe there may have been many mitigating factors that lead to this horrible crime. There has been far too much hate. Lets us work towards forgivness.

                  “Blessed are the Merciful, for they shall be given Mercy.”

                  Regards,

                  Thomas Pratt

                • Hi Thomas,
                  in part I agree with you, but I can imagine, just as the lynch mobs are out there gathering and salivating, it can be understandable that some folks who see the absence of justice also need to vent, and sometimes that venting is also out of order.
                  From where I have view this case – I cannot see anything but violent and unwise people becoming hysterical – believing they were somehow connected personally to Travis Alexander and therefore even feel the need to murder others in the name of ‘justice for Travis’.
                  That entire and farcical courtroom scenario needs to be investigated by an impartial commission, as there were so many anomalies, it was absolutely nothing short of a crime scene itself.
                  I don’t watch television and I reside over 8,000 miles away – but I couldn’t help but come across this case on the internet. All I read at first were the calls for blood – not only for Arias – but her lawyers and anybody else who testified in her favor.
                  In my opinion – Jodi Arias did not get anything close to a fair trial, and while I am at it – when is Nancy Grace going to be stopped from visiting other inmates at the jail where she is being held to get info?
                  Will HLN pay for the lawyers for anyone who harms people involved in her defense and those who voted against the DP?
                  Kind Regards from Sydney Australia

  886. Jodi I am a Cancer too, born on July 7 many years before you. I believe something went very wrong back in 2008. I also see you dealing with a lynch mob; they are all out to get you. Your Attorneys need to get out the real reason behind what went on. I send my best to you. You hang in there sweet lady.

  887. Hello Jodi,
    I have watched all the the trial the interviews you have done and have even watched the media with all of there made up bullshit.i have out weighted all the evidence and I truly believe in you and know that something went so wrong that day.i know you didn’t just go to Travis’s house to kill him.you had more then enough chances to do it without getting him in the shower.there are a lot of things that don’t add up and that I’m so confused about.i know you said you killed Travis but I think there is more to it then your saying.i think you had help and your covering for someone or the second story you told is really the truth and someone else really did the killing and your so very scared for your self and your family that you took the blame.there is no way you did all of that your self you say you don’t remember the knife and stabbing him that you only shot him in self defense well maybe the reason you don’t remember is because you really didn’t stab him.maybe you had help with that part or maybe even someone came after you left and finished him off.its not over yet Jodi just because they found you guilty don’t mean a thing you did not by any means get a far trial and that’s why you was found guilty of murder 1. I don’t care what that jury said they seen things heard things they shouldn’t have and used that against you.that jury should of been locked away until the trial was over to make sure they did not hear or see anything.they media took this and ran with it because of the media the jury being able to go home every day just a lot of things you did not get a fair trial and you need to fight fight fight appeal the shit out of it and never give up.i truly believe that if this wasn’t all the world and every detail of what the prosecution thinks happen in this case wasn’t plastered all over the tv news papers and interviews and just everything half truths and all wasn’t put out there you would of never got murder 1 the prosecutor in your case has done a lot of shady things to he did not play fair that’s for sure and that’s why this turned out the way it did.if no one ever heard of this case and the lies of the Travis family and friends then you would not be facing death.please don’t ever give up fight this until you take your last breath if you have too.you have nothing to lose and everything to gain you have so many grounds to get a retrial so many.i seen you say you want the death penalty no you don’t you can fight this and win never give up.keep your head up girl god will never put more on you then you can Handel.

  888. Dear Jodi,Stay strong and I believe you were justified.I will always be behind you.You are an exceptional woman..Will always be tHere for you.

  889. Hello again all…Just a few things I wanted to comment on again as this fiasco comes to a close.
    I think the next step is that Jodi should file for IAC – ineffective assistance of council. Her attorneys have
    withheld key evidence that could make a big difference and did not follow up with at least 2 key
    witnesses. You might also argue that Nurmi’s comment about not liking her 9 days out of 10 could
    have worked against her. Also I noticed today her attorneys very visibly ignoring her and not seeming
    to give any type of personal support and at least in my observation this could be noticed by the jury
    and interpreted as contempt and non-support for her. There should be at least the appearance that
    they are rallying around her and support her. IMO there’s enough grounds for IAC and that would
    buy you more time. Next I think she needs better attorneys who can conduct a thorough investigation
    on what really happened that day. Jodi doesn’t remember anything, is she really certain that she
    did the actual killing? So many signs and clues and all the circumstantial evidence at least to my
    observation points to blood atonement sacrifice ritual in the Mormon church. If you take time to even
    just google it and read a few sites,you will be amazed. Detective Flores originally began the case
    insisting that no one person could have done this extent of attack alone – why was that never
    investigated further?You need a good private investigator on this case immediately.
    Also important to note that the atonement ritual killing can only be performed by specially ordained
    male priests. Jodi would not be permitted to do anymore than a small symbolic role of laundering
    garments and washing tools used. And the Danites can perform these rites dressed in the black
    hooded “ninja” attire that Jodi first described. Jodi may have felt it was her religious duty to assist
    in order to save Travis’ soul – or simply could have been coerced. There is so much evidence
    pointing in this direction it seems like grounds to pursue an appeal for re-trial. Another possibility
    is could Travis have known more about various associates’ connection to a pedo ring – could
    someone else have had him killed but staged it to look like Danites, especially to hide identities?
    She needs to have this investigation done then start again with new attorneys filing for a re-trial
    under the grounds that evidence was omitted, she testified against herself only under duress
    and fear for her family’s safety and is now willing to provide the real evidence.
    If she can get a good high profile attorney to take her case it seems she would have a real chance.
    For now I think her attorneys need to put up an appearance of being more personally supportive
    of her. At least from my viewpoint, it’s coming across like they are distancing their selves from her
    and may be contemptful. I hope these ideas were in some way useful. The media is making this
    a circus and it’s obviously a deliberate smear job against her paid for by individuals using their
    financial clout to protect the church. Anyhow, best of luck to Jodi + the team.

    • ” blood atonement sacrifice ritual in the Mormon church” I thought this might be what happened from the very beginning. I have researched some regarding this and have not discarded the possiblity that this could be why the throat was slashed. Good thinking, Rayelle.

  890. Jodi:

    Do not resign yourself to death. Become bigger and stronger than this. Things happen for a reason. Sometimes the seemingly absolute most devastating of experiences can change into the most glorious opportunities. Don’t take what I’m saying lightly or tritely. Resign yourself to using opportunities that come from the current situation to do amazing things. This is the first day of the rest of your life. Just remember, no matter what some people will say, God knows your heart. Turn this thing around, girl!

  891. You have been in my thoughts since court today. I wish you could see this before tomorrow. I know you can not but I will post it anyway! I know you will probably want to speak in court tomorrow but besides apologizing for the families pain I would say no more. Please stay strong and concentrate on your appeals. As long as you do not say much more than what I typed your chances for an appeal is extremely high. Please keep the faith in the Lord. He does work wonders in this man run society we live in. I believe I know what truly happened but I do not want to type it here because of the haters. I wouldn’t want to give them time to find a way around the truth like they did this time around. I strongly believe that when you get an appeal and the truth comes out I believe you will be free from prison. Keep the faith and we will keep praying for you.
    Tina

  892. Hi Jodi,
    Please fight, appeal from the decision, DO whatever it takes! But FIGHT. You seem to have dropped the ball but you don’t deserve that! I watch this masquerade going on and coming from another country (European country where the death penalty has been abolished for 30 years), I can tell you that this prosecutor and this jury are considered as gross morons all over the planet. They probably walk around thinking they are right, they should think twice because they really are considered as bloodthirsty idiots by the entire world.
    This prosecutor trying to prove PREmeditation -literally “to think BEFORE”- by things that happened AFTER the murder? It just does not make sense! And the jury does not get it?They NEED to go back to school and learn the meaning of premeditation. ( Who cares if you called his cellphone after the murder? Even if you did; this DOES NOT prove that you have thought of that beforehand! ) . And the members of this shameless jury listening to the nonsense of this prosecutor and finding you guilty of felony murder… (Really? So we all have sex with anybody that breaks into our home right? This is just one more proof of how crass stupid people can be.)
    The violence of Alexander SHOWS in his eyes, his manipulative, abusive, degrading, behavior SHOWS and has been proven. So these low-life retarded are now empowering all the abusers of America making all battered women think that their abusers can get away with just anything!

    This trial is a shame for America. (That said, death penalty is also a shame for America because quite frankly if you look at the list of countries with death penalty, being in the same bag as Iran, Irak, Afghanistan, etc… Is neither glorious nor honorable for the most powerful country in the world!)
    And OJ Simpson who is a proven and condemned abuser who has been found liable for the murder of his ex-wife is going to walk because guess what? He has MONEY so he can afford to pay expensive lawyers and go back to court!
    What a shame for America! It goes down to say to all abusers “go ahead abuse women, you can even kill them because dead or alive, they will not be supported by the system in any way!”
    Jodi please hold on, fight fight fight. Appeal. P-L-E-A-S-E.
    Love
    Agatha

  893. Jodi you are so pettite, I just don’t find it possible that you bu yourself could have done this. Maybe if you were a woman of more size and strength but I really feel the truth hasn’t come out. I mean he was stabbed up like Caesar wounds everywhere. I can’t buy it, i just can’t. I’m going to say a Hail Mary or two for you, hang in there I think the truth will come out and the media will fflip-flop bow down and kiss your feet.

  894. HI Jodi, I am heartbroken for you, and I wanted to let you know that I include you in my prayers every night. I believe you need a miracle and that is what i pray for for you. I hope that you will never give up because through your ordeal you are helping other women who have undergone terrible abuse too. I witnessed the abuse given to my mother by my father and watched her cry all the time not really understanding what was happening to her. Only now have I developed the courage to look at that time in my mother’s life. That is the reason why you need to hold on to your faith and strength because your dignity inspires other women, including myself. Your artistry is truly beautiful, and I am enjoy it very much. Please continue developing your skills. Finally, I think that through prayer your will be blessed.

  895. Jodi,

    Today I was literally brought to my knees for you. I was expecting this verdict but, it didn’t change the emotional and physical response in my body. I am not by any means an overly religious person by no stretch of the imagination but today made me immediately drop to my knees and pray for you. I can only imagine what you went through today with the opening and closing statements of JM and seeing the photos of Travis. I saw your tears, I believe that you loved Travis. There was true sorrow behind them. I can’t imagine being in a room where you know that most people there are looking to do you harm, to me that is extremely cruel. I begged God to give you strength, and that if I personally, had anything stored in my “spiritual bank” to pass it to you. I am an advocate for the DP, when its warranted. Your case, I believe, it doesn’t belong there. Today, I can only imagine is going to be another horrific day for everyone involved in this case, but especially for you. I can’t imagine knowing or feeling, they are coming for me. Stay strong, know your truth and follow your light.

    Kimberly

  896. Jodi,
    I have been watching the trial and am completely torn. I had a boyfriend whom I was with 3 years plus or minus. I did everything the legal way, pressing charges, when I got beat down to nothing and had to be taken to the emergency room. How many times prior he got away with beating me I cant even count. How many times he drugged and raped me. I was his girlfriend and it didn’t matter. His family had money so nothing came out of it. Everyone looked the other way. I had a couple friends who knew but he would threaten my life, my friends lives and especially my families lives. I was made out to be a liar. I dropped out of college and many jobs because he has found me. He did horrible things. I’ll never be able to have children thanks to him. I pray for angels to be with you no matter what happens. In a different situation I could see us as great friends. My father who is now passed molested family and friends. But I am the one his family hates. I hope you find peace. You know the Lord and even Travis has forgiven you. The people who are judging probably can’t even look at themselves in the mirror.
    my thoughts and prayers are with you
    Leigh Ann

  897. Jodi
    My heart is broken. You did not deserve any of this….as we all know it takes two to tango. The jurors put 100% of this on you. I will be watching today and I will be praying for you and your family. I know you said you want to die. Please dont!!! You have a lot to offer wherever you are. . One day down the road when all this is is over I would like to visit you. Please repond..
    Diana

  898. I have been watching the trial very close and you had a very unfair trail and I have seen several issues that would be great for an appeal. I am so sorry that you are a victim of a corrupt judicial system. I plan to write you eventually. I am so sorry for you and for your family to have to be going through this Jodi and please know that you are in my prayers every single day. I wish there were some way I could help you but I am just another peon in this world who doesn’t matter. The jury only gave you what the public would want for you and NOT the facts of the case. You are on my mind so much and may God bless. If possible, I would trade places with you. You have so much more to offer this world than I do.

  899. Good luck Jodi! Vengence is nasty and I don’t think Travis would want his family carrying on with spite against you. You made a mistake and it’s up to God to judge you not a jury of people. Your not alone when it comes to a volatile relationship . Many people have been in similar situations of varying degrees of a problematic boy/girl friend/spouse issue. I think that’s why many people are so interested and fascinated with your case – because we all have had some taste of mental or physical abuse via someone we love. In you we (public) may see some semblance of ourselves and that projection back at us stirs our fascination, fear and involvement with your story. I have a strong feeling that Travis’s spirit forgives you even if his family and their theatrics does not. Know in your heart that out of that 1% that did bad that June 2008 day – that there is still 99% a decent girl who had aspirations to flower and blossom . Many will never know your good qualities and instead fixate on demonizing you because in them is an innate fear of themselves. Even that network HLN was full of rabid haters wanting to see you go down…BUT now many of those on HLN that demonized you are sincerely worried about you getting the death penalty. This only proves to me that they have reservations about death because they must have some forgiveness and see a likeable side to you. That 1 horrible day does not define your entire being. Good luck Jodi! 🙂

  900. Hey Jodi, when your doing hard time and you need a pen pal, let me know!! God Bless you sweets!

  901. Jodi,
    I really want to help you out, however I am financially unable. I believe in you, and am worried about your safety and wellbeing. Please don’t lose hope. I have been abused and the guy was also a pedofile interestingly enough. He had naked pictures of underage little boys on his computer which he planted in my car one day. I was driving home from work and he wanted to break-up with me and “didn’t know how to tell me” so he called the police and told them that the computer was in my car and what was on it. The police pulled me over and searched my car and found the computer and arrested me. My boyfriend testified against me in court with his new girlfriend at his side. I was sent to jail and was made to register as a sex offender. I had just completed my Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education and was working on my Thesis and Masters. Since I am now a “Sex Offender” I will never be allowed to work with children, my dream since I set up my dolls to go to school in the classroom that I set up in my bedroom since I was two.
    In jail I attempted suicide twice because I had lost hope. I believed my life was over and I had nothing to live for. The Jail I was in didn’t have very good health care, I don’t know about how yours compares. But on second time they finally decided to put me on medication so they did a blood test. It turned out that I was pregnant. I remember the night that I conceived. I remember it well because I told him no, and to stop, and that I didn’t want to do that. He raped me. He was drunk.
    Now I am a Mother, I am out of jail and on probation, I am still a sex offender because of him, but I have found other mothers that don’t care. You know where I found these mothers? In Jail. They needed emotional support just like I did. We formed a bond. I go back and teach them classes three times a week and bring my son with me. They miss their families too and he was born there. I trust these people and they have become a part of my family. My ex-boyfriend wanted me to abort and when I said no he severed all parental rights thankfully.
    I know that you have a strong heart. You have a strong faith even though you may be questioning your faith right now. You are a wonderful artist. You are a very smart person (Something that my mother says would have helped me out, since I have learning disabilities which she says made me get involved with a guy like that) All these and so much more that possess you will be invaluable to those around you. There are so many people that need you in there. I know that sounds weird. But think of all the wonderful things you can do to help others. You can teach art classes. Teach people to read. Talk to those who are suffering about the word of God. Teach about the Bible and God. I don’t want to say that you are there for a reason, but please don’t give up. Keep fighting. You have good inside you and there are so many people that God wants you to help and things he/she needs you to do.
    These things may be impossible to think about doing especially with all the court things going on I know that takes a lot of your time and energy. But maybe at some point things will calm down and the court will do there job so you don’t have to keep doing it for them and give you a rest. Just Please Don’t Give Up.
    My church and I pray for you daily.

      so sorry that happened to you we have heard so many other story of abuse here and you will find out site is like a family how will reach out and show you comfort and will give you a hug we love Jodi and we find she is innocent of all the chargers I for one believe the 2nd story she told and I hope that one day they find that man and woman who did this

  902. the fact that his body was found in the shower and not on the puddle of blood tells jodi may be telling the truth? jail or not, what will joid say about this?

  903. Jodi
    I hate that this has happened to you no matter what the circumstances were in the incident. From my experience I can only say to keep your head up, keep seeking God. God will bring you perfect justice in His timing. You will be set free. Believe in miracles as I did. Your innocence shines so beautifully on your face.

  904. Jodi,
    I don’t have a tv so I did not know about you until today.
    They gave you the death penalty and I can’t believe it. I have to believe that your appeal is successful. There are too many double standards in this country. You will be victorious. You will set a precedent for future trials like this. I’m sorry that you are going through this, but we have to keep the faith that things will change for us women. Men get away with murder everyday, beating and killing their wives and girlfriends and not being sent to death. I will pray for your peace of mind and know that you are strong and beautiful.

    Hi Jodi:

    I found this edited version from the Book of Mathew.
    It is particularly comforting as it applies to all of us. Everyone can take something from these verses:
    The eight Beatitudes in Matthew 5:3–12 during the Sermon on the Mount each begins with: [2][3]
    Blessed are…
    • …the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (5:3)
    • …those who mourn: for they will be comforted. (5:4)
    • …the meek: for they will inherit the earth. (5:5)
    • …those who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they will be filled. (5:6)
    • …the merciful: for they will be shown mercy. (5:7)
    • …the pure in heart: for they will see God. (5:8)
    • …the peacemakers: for they will be called children of God. (5:9)
    • …those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

    Regards,

    Thomas Pratt

    • Must Be another Catholic wish Jodi had found that religion instead of the Mormon one and that she knew it when it was spoken in Latin that was the best of times for me with the church.

      • It is never too late for Jodie to investigate the Catholic church.All she has to do is ask to see a priest and one will be sent to her with no pressure to convert, just to talk to her.I also want to point out that she can freely speak to a priest and he will never reveal to anyone what she says to him in private.Priest’s can never be forced to testify against a person which means she would be able to feel safe.I don’t think Jodie has felt for a very long time.I also heard what she said to the jury .She said she will be sorry the rest of her life and maybe longer.I truly hope she can come to realize and know that God is not like men and women on earth.God always keep’s his promise.Always.He has promised forgiveness to anyone who is truly sorry and ask’s him to be forgiven.It does not matter how big or small the sin/crime.The blood of his son Jesus cover’s us all.I don’t want Jodie to live the rest of her life being afraid of what will happen when she dies and faces God.The condition of her soul is important to God.It is important to me and many other people.I don’t know anything about the Mormon church but if someone from that church has not reached out to her and visited her then I believe the Mormon church is not the right place for her.

        • I don’t think is Jodie has felt safe for a very long time is what I was saying.

  906. Let me get straight to the point. You’re innocent. If you’re not, you did NOT brutally murder him for the pleasure or kill with any bad intentions. If you actually killed him, it was out of panic and self defense. I’m rooting for ya. Keep on rollin’, girl. You’ve got a whole life ahead of you. We all love you, Jodi-chan!

  907. HI Jodi,
    I recently started following your trial and watched many of your interviews. I was feeling confused about what the trkue story was until today. I watched the exit interview you gave after your trial and something inside of me clicked. I am absolutely amazed and in awe of your unfailing faith. I was in a similar relationship. I can completely relate to the emotional turmoil you must have been in during the last phase of your relationsnhip – that constant inner battle of “do I see him again, or do I move on.” You have been living in a nightmae, buit your attitude and faith have persevered. You are an example for me of not giving up when times are rough. You are humble and worthy of love. I am happy to write to help remind you that you are supported. I know you are far too busy to reply, but I’ll keep writing anyway. On a final note, what you are doing for your fellow inmates with tything speaks volumes about your charachter. That is so wonderful of you.

  908. Jodi I love you and support you no matter what. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Love always.

  909. Jodi,
    Hang in there. I agree, getting the death penalty puts you that much closer to ending all of the pain and anguish you have been caused. Wrong or right, it happened, and not one person will ever know the whole truth that you do. We can all judge and write nasty comments… people are cowards, but honestly. NOT YOU. You are strong, brave, and even if you are put to death – you will be victorious in the end. ONLY GOD CAN REALLY JUDGE YOU. You know that! Chin up!

  911. My name is Frank Queen. I’d like to tell you all why I support Jodi Arias. In the last 4 1/2 months, those of us who have been watching the trial on television have gotten to know Jodi Arias and Travis Alexander more than they knew of them a year ago or even 5 years ago. I’m sure that there are some people out there who wish that they didn’t know as much about either of them or the both of them as they do now. For some people in this country, this case, this trial is very black-and-white. Travis Alexander is the murder victim and he’s the hero, the good brother, the mentor and the Mormon role model who not only wore his heart on his sleeve, but his sleeve on his heart. Jodi Arias is the villain and the murderer who killed him, ending his life at the tragically young age of 30. She has been portrayed as evil, a slut, given the derisive nickname of “Hodi”, been attacked and villified on television and the Internet.

    In a perfect world, this trial would be a slam dunk. However, we do not live in a perfect world. And, contrary to what some people might think out there, nobody is perfect. Neither Jodi Arias nor Travis Alexander are perfect. We also know now that both of them were far from perfect Mormons. But going beyond the sexual activity and pornography which Travis and Jodi were engaged in during their time together, how does a sincere individual reconcile with the fact that Mr. Alexander referred to himself as a “dildo with a heartbeat” and Ms. Arias as a “three-hole-wonder”? How does a sincere individual reconcile with the fact that Travis Alexander audibly gets excited after Jodi Arias climaxes orgasmically and he compares it to a 12-year old girl having her first orgasm?

    The Travis Alexander supporters typically respond with “Well, he’s a guy! C’mon, Frank!” Seriously? Is that the best that they can come up with? Call me crazy, but this sounds tantamount to the age-old excuse of “boys will be boys” when girls have been prone to sexual harassment or misogynistic language directed at them in the past. And, while there may not be visible signs of physical abuse on Jodi Arias at this point, I feel that Mr. Alexander’s cruel, insensitive words, his disturbing behavior and his hot-and-cold sexual feelings for Ms. Arias in which he took it upon himself to use her as a female body is tantamount to psychological and emotional abuse. On a personal level, I was bullied for several years when I was in school. Some of the abuse was physical, but the bruises and cuts typically heal. Sometimes a scar will form, but that pales in comparison to the verbal and psychological abuse which is inflicted upon us by bullies or family members or friends or lovers we thought we could trust and loved us. Those scars are not able to be seen because they are on the inside. Yet they manifest themselves in other ways when some of us don’t fight back and we take in the abuse day after day after day. Why don’t we fight back? Fear. Fear of getting hurt even worse. Fear of rejection. Fear of being abandoned. Fear of not being loved. How many of us know women or men who have been in destructive relationships and continue to remain in them because they would rather not be lonely?

    I am not here to make excuses for Jodi Arias. Clearly, she has made mistakes and done some wrong things in her past prior to killing Travis. And, early on during this trial I kept saying that I wished that Jodi would have came clean from the get-go and just told the truth about everything instead of running away and telling lies about what happened. However, it occurred to me not long after that I was thinking in terms of black-and-white when the world we live in is much more gray. I began to talk with people who have BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), abuse survivors and people who help abuse survivors, particularly domestic abuse. And I realized that I was basing my opinion on my own life experiences, but not taking into consideration what someone else’s life experiences have been like. I don’t know what it’s like to walk into the shoes of a woman who has been abused by a man whether it be physical, mental, psychological or sexual. But I now have a much better idea of what it must be like and that was when I realized that Jodi Arias’s behavior and actions are not unlike many other men and women who have personality disorders. We also know that Jodi Arias grew up in a turbulent home life with her mother and father with allegations of abuse. And, Jodi’s behavior over the years is not inconsistent with someone who has been sexually abused at a young age.

    Jodi Arias was far from a goody-two shoes in her youth and I believe she would be the first to admit to that. However, to her credit, she has managed to turn her life around, become a successful woman in her career and is an amazingly talented artist and photographer. Moreover, Jodi does not have a background of violent crimes prior to being involved with Travis Alexander. If she was so evil or this temptress that the media and some haters make her out to be, then why didn’t any of her other suitors die? How come they are all still alive and well? She didn’t kill any of them, so why Travis? Is it possible because the other men never abused her? Is it possible that they never referred to her as a “three-hole wonder” nor did they give themselves the self-proclaimed nickname of “dildo with a heartbeat”?

    As I sit here and type this, there are people on the other side, the pro-Travis Alexander faction, that is literally salivating like Pavlov’s dog and waiting with great anticipation for the bell to ring on what they presume to be Jodi Arias’s death sentence. I find that odd for so many of them to be such devout Christians and “pro-life” yet gleaming with excitement over the prospects of, in their own words, “frying her”. It is almost like they are a football player running downfield with the ball in their hands and they’re just about ready to spike the ball in the end zone and do their celebratory dance. Enough to make you sick? Try reading some of their comments on the pro-Jodi Arias Facebook pages or Twitter accounts. And, incidentally, I did say that right: PRO-Jodi Arias. Yet these people have taken it upon themselves to join groups in which they hate to talk with people whom they hate to smear and destroy a woman that they hate. Well, this makes no sense, does it? It’s like a vegetarian going to a Burger King and screaming at the employees and customers about how much they suck because they are murderers for killing animals and demanding that the business be shut down. They have a right to operate their business just as the people who support Jodi Arias have a right to operate their pages. If you don’t like it, perhaps that could be because you’re on a pro-Jodi Arias page. Try joining an anti-Jodi Arias page or website. I’m sure there’s at least one around.

    I honestly don’t know what’s going to happen regarding Jodi Arias’s sentence. My gut feeling is that she will be given life in prison instead of the death penalty. Regardless of the outcome, our resolve does not change and we will begin immediately working on setting Jodi free from prison. There is no question that she needs help, but she needs it by professional psychologists in a doctor’s office, not in the confines of a prison cell. She needs the love of God at this most desperate hour and I believe He is there for her at this very moment. I’d like to close this with a quote from Abraham Lincoln. He once said, “If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how – the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what’s said against me won’t amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.” Thank you for listening. God bless you and your family. And, Jodi, if you read this, God bless you and your family. We love you.

  912. It’s been a long day. You look defeated and empty. I feel so badly for you and his family.
    I truly believe this was done in a rage and then in self defense.
    I pray you get a new trial, appeal this verdict and the people see your not vicious!

    Stay strong! I don’t know what’s up with your lazy attorneys but they gotta go!

    Where can we send mail to?

  913. Hi, Jodi… I’ve been watching the trial for quite a while now, and I really have faith in you. What you did wasn’t right but no one deserves death, and two wrongs definately don’t make a right. Just stay strong and keep your chin up. You’re a beautiful and charming woman, and I know you can have a future if you work for it. 🙂

  914. Really hope they find it in their hearts to not give u death. Death is never the answer and will not make it right. Taking a life is never okay and for these people that are for the death penalty, i have to question their morals, values, hearts and wonder how they sleep at night. Life in prison still sucks but maybe by some miracle you’d be able to be granted parole after so many years, and conditions. People are sinful, cold-hearted unforgiving relentless selfish, etc. No man should be able to make this kind of decision. God is the ultimate judge at the end of the day and He forgives, make yourself right with Him. Our system is so screwed. This should not be happening. So many things should’ve been done differently. Your family is suffering a loss as well, i feel very bad for them. This whole case saddens me. Praying for everybody..

  915. Wonder if the jury saw your interview they keep playing on HLN, seeing as how they did not play it in court. I think they are looking for remorse Jodi. If you do speak on Monday I wouldn’t hold anything back if I were you seeing how your fate is in their hands unfortunately. God knows your heart. Now show the people

  916. We discuss you everyday in our home. Are hearts go out to you. I wish things could be different for you.

  917. Just want to say godspeed to you wish i could help you my prayers are with you jodi ……lov ya

  918. Jodi. You are the only person who knows what really happened that night. I feel like I must have been watching something different than the jurors here. cuz to me no way they could come up with a murder1 conviction with NO reasonable doubt! there’s was all kinds of it in this case. It’s what makes trials FAIR! and i’ve been SOOOO tired of watching HLN throughout this trial, the ONE SIDED BIAS of that channel made me sick to my stomach. so quick to crucify, so much for innocent before proven guilty. i literally had to stop watching HLN completely! trutv did a much much better job at an unbiased way to covering the case. tho not totally, but MUCH better than HLN. you cannot tell me that the jurors weren’t totally hidden from that crap HLN was running thru the whole trial! drove me nuts. there just straight up wasnt enuf proof for this kind of conviction. Jodi, stay strong. It was quite obvious that this man manipulated you, and used u, led u on just to try to toss u aside and try to drag u back into his manipulation once more. CLASSIC abuser behavior. I know that feeling, even without much physical abuse, this emotional abuse can HURT SO BAD!! i totally get it! it’s an awful feeling. EVERYBODY wants and deserves to be loved in the best way! i’m so sorry that this wasn’t able to happen for u. i’m sad that u’ll never know the loving hug of a child of ur own and a love of ur life. regardless of how this happened and details, a woman can only take SO much after being broken down over and over and over by a manipulator and abuser. i’m so sorry this had to happen.

  919. There may be some information that Jodi might like to hear from me in appeal court. Perhaps it may help with this case.

  920. I just want to put my arms around you……..I understand you; I’ve been there. I’m now 65 years old but you never forget. x {}

  921. Rejoice in knowing your sole purpose in life is NOT to be his whore! BUT HE’s LOOKING LIKE THE WHORE NOW… I bet it felt so empowering being left on the floor of a shower like a true douche bag should! IM SORRY YOU COULDN’T FIND IT IN YOURSELF TO GET AWAY FROM HIM BEFORE YOU LOST YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF A GUY WHO THOUGHT HIS LIFE WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOURS, HE TREATED YOU LIKE SCUM AND THAT’S NOT SOMEONE WHO SHOULD BE MOTIVATING ANYONE! HE WAS A TRUE SCAM ARTIST THAT FOOLED A LOT OF PEOPLE! GOOD LUCK ON APPEALS, MY HEART TRULY GOES OUT TO YOU!

  922. Jodi, hi. This is my third commet. I dont know if you will ever read this, I hope you will.Wish I had a million to give you, I dont.. Not now anyway. I think it is really fucked, that Traviss brother is blaming his failed mariage on this situation.So much for thick and thin, good times and bad! I lost my Father and two Sisters, and suspect Foul play in one of them, but I let it go, cause in life, you ve got to move on, and thats what some of these people really need to do, reguardless of the circumstance. I, like many others, am praying for a sentence ,of time served, plus, and Parole!!!!!!! Youre still so young and talented. You can easily do a few years, and get out and lead a full life.Dont ever give up, cause I know this will work out in the end, no mater how it looks right now, on the eve of sentencing. You will prevail! Please feel free to write in the days ahead. God bless, you have MANY people praying for you.

  923. Jodi,

    You are so very beautiful, inside and out. I don’t know how so many people can’t see that. You are INSANELY intelligent and so well-spoken. You impressed me every day that you were on the stand. I am so sorry for all you have been through. I have been through terrible experiences, and I have had a “fog” like you described. It is not uncommon for the brain to repress traumatic moments. You’re in my good thoughts and I send you the very best. Stay strong!

    <3
    Michelle

  924. I also gave a donation (a large one). It is confirmation #0VH4389623MB566173Z.

  925. Jodi, I have no idea if you really receive these messages, and whether you do or not, my thoughts, blessings, and prayers are with you and all affected! To Hell with HLN and all the Jodi haters! Find inner peace and strength! You have millions supporting you, a little reason to help you smile 🙂

    D

  926. Praying for you and your family through this trying time. Only you and Travis know what went on that fateful day and it is for no man to judge. Judgement only happens after death and through the faith we have in the Lord. Move beyond this and make your life what it can be for you and your family and friends that care for you. I hope peace is found and that you will be alright.

  927. WOW HLN just completely disgusted me. Like many have said they are full of nothing but hate! Jodi please stay strong. I along with everyone here was completely outraged the the M1 conviction, and know I will and always will support you. You are not a bad person, and I don’t know what or why you are having to go through this. I’m not extremely religious but I do have my faith, and you will come out of this. STAY STRONG we are all here for you.

    • And for Dr. Drew, if you can call him a doctor at this point, to bash on her… If she had turned to drugs he would have totally agreed it was a result of an abusive relationship. Is it’s cuz he’s being paid by HLN that he’s being an a**hole. She was scared for her life everyday, not to mention the embarrasment and pure humiliation that Travis put her through. Shame on the justice system and all the many igronate people out there.

  928. Dragonfly84 pretty much said it all! My 25 year old son is as passionate about your case as I am. You have so many that believe you and are so frustrated with the piss poor attorneys you’ve been given. I’m sure you are aware of all of your legal options, or maybe not with the circus side show you’ve been given to represent you. What attorney says in open court that he doesn’t like his client, while the other one rolls her eyes and makes faces. So terribly unprofessional! You deserve so much better. All we keep hearing is how much his family misses him, blah, blah, blah. The brother that gave an impact statement today hadn’t seen him since Christmas…ya, they were close. I’d like to know how often they all kept in touch at all. Where are all of his other grieving siblings? Parents? He was his own knife! He used and manipulated you (using religion as a tool) to the point where I’m sure you questioned your own self worth. I know because I have been where you are. I’m a 46 year old woman, who had a “husband” that did and said the same exact things to me. Of course you had sex talk/texts with him. We want to please the one we love even if it makes us uncomfortable, or humiliates us. My ex head-butted me in the face and broke my nose. I punched him in response and the police (in Texas) were going to arrest me. They hand cuffed me to my stove…. in front of my two boys. I left…and I’m glad I did, because I believe we are ALL capable of snapping when we are continuously pushed. A person can only take so much. I can’t believe that not one juror felt the way I do. I would have NEVER swayed my decision. You deserve a new trial and different lawyers. I pray you get it! We (my family) will be praying and watching. God bless you…. hang in there. What hides in the dark eventually shows up in the light.
    AMH

  929. Jodi
    I know you are hurting very deeply inside. Whatever happened that day is gone now. God loves all of his children no matter what they do and he will forgive you because he is forgiving, merciful, loving, kind, and gentle. He loves you Jodi and all those evil people on HLN and in the courtroom and outside the courtroom are very sick and very evil people. Nobody in this entire world is perfect and nobody in this entire world deserves to suffer as you have. We all sin in various ways. We all have sinned numerous times. Remember that with God there is peace and someday soon you will have peace my friend. Just know that many people care about you and know your pain. May God be with you always!

  930. I’m glad you decided. You want to live. I found your adress above. I’ll have to see what I can put on a post card. I have some cards for the battlefield; the anniveversary, which is just befor e your birthday.

  933. Money, power, women. Those are the words on the “about me” part of Travis Alexanders myspace page which is still viewable. Those words, his perverted voice messages. Everything about him, that I hear or have come across screams user.
    Guys like him, find good looking women without much money and low self esteem. I know guys like him and have my whole life. That usually lasts about four to six months, and after they have built this woman up and treated her like a queen, restored her self esteem and faith in love/relationships and men. Take them on trips they could never afford, and show them a life beyond anything they could have hoped for. Then when it’s time for them to feel the need to move on to the next woman for this type of guy, and restart the process over again of buliding someone up, show her a better life with money, get down those pants again, it’s see ya later, thanks for the sex, on to the next project/lay. I’m a guy, I’ve seen other guys do this to women so many times. No regard for what this can do to someones mind. And instead of moving on fully, he kept her coming back for more, giving her just enough attention and hope, to continue to use her for sex, while being with another woman. I read that their actual relationship as a couple lasted roughly six months. Typical. So typical of “that kind of guy”.
    I am so tired of the media and comments on online articles from people calling Jodi evil. She clearly is not. She is a victim of “that type of guy” and his mind screw games listed above. And all of Travis guy friends that I’ve seen interviewed are exactly the same as him.
    From his “about me” on myspace…money power women…to all the photos I’ve seen of him that show a clear case of narcissism. His “12 year old girl” comment, all while hidding behind this fake act of strong faith in the Lord. This guy, and plenty of guys like him, play this game and leave nothing but hurt, pain, broken spirits, broken minds, and broken self esteem all around them as they continue to find these types of women to use for their own selfish purpses…money, power, women. All about me…all about Travis.
    What she did to him was the work of a snapped mind, broken spirit, and broken self esteem. She went there hoping to win him back. He let her in, he said what he needed to say to get what he wanted. She had hope. He then let her know that what they did was just a “thing”, and that she could not stay, he was still going to be with this new woman. She lost it. What she did to him was clearly temporary insanity from his mind games and using her. I’ll bet she originally lied about it because her broken mind, thanks to him, doesn’t even remember doing it. She knows she did, but at the time, it wasn’t her. No criminal history, no history of violence. Every mind has a breaking point, and his mind games, mental abuse for his own selfish purposes, broke hers.
    There is such a clear psychological aspect to this story, that everyone involved in this case (her defense, jurors), completely ignored/missed. She does not deserve life in prison, nor the death penalty. This is tragic.
    I send a hug and prayers to Jodi, and her brother and sister. May you all find strength to get through this.

    • Dave, that is beautiful!!!!!! You covered it from every angle and then some! Thank you for being a real man and seeing through it all!!!! Jodi we will never ever give up on you ever!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Dave, you nailed it! The dynamics of this unique case have been lost on all but the enlightened. Wish you had been on the defense team, as you articulated perfectly on the character profiles and subseqent chain of events that led to this tragic outcome. Regards from Sydney. Australia

  934. I think Travis’s friends (the husband & wife) bear a large responsiblilty for what happened to Travis. I cannot imagine whispering back and forth in the middle of the night to Travis about Jodi in a derogatory manner with her right there in the house. It seems they inflamed the feelings in Travis against Jodi and set him against her. Also, alot of his “so-called friends” interfered with the relationship and stirred up problems between them as well. Travis’s entourage of “friends” really didn’t know so darned much about him as they thought, but Travis was interested in keeping up the facade he had fabricated and was playing both ends against the middle. Not a good place be on the fatal day. Lots of blame to go around amongst these hipocrites You’re on our minds, Jodi, 24-7. Having faith that in the end things will not be so bleak as they seem today. Prayers.

    • They have laid the larva of a very deadly outcome. They made Jodi suspicious about things they do not understand themselves. Part of the secret whisper, Jodi has also heard behind the door. No wonder that a look of anger appeared on her face. She saw her future world collapse. At that time, Travis was her everything that she went.

  935. This is why people shouldn’t mess with other peoples emotions. The guy played her and treated her like a good time girl and caused her to have a meltdown. Super tragic she should NOT be getting life.. Let alone the death penalty.. Anyways

    P.S Is that jodiannarias twitter account really her? or somebody poseing as her.

  936. Yep, Jodi – even we have to face the consequences of our choices.

    My friends and acquaintances will never say it in so many words, but you can feel that they turn their backs to you. They remain friendly in your face, but in mail traffic, you notice that they hesitate to write.

    At the same time, they know that I’m not part of a wind farm.
    Choices I make are substantiated and district rarely of my position off.
    If I have something in mind, don’t look for it in my shoes, just like you – Jodi.

    This world may take your natural life, but never get your spirit and soul.
    That is the property of Him, who has already taken away from this world.
    His kingdom has no hatred and misery.

    Sooner or later the heated light of the sun will come closer to the earth and it will burn everything. The playground of the devil will be gone.

    This cruel world had hoped that you would beg for your life.
    Hoped you would affirm the judgment of the jury and would beg for forgiveness.

    And yes Jodi, you did not …..
    If I were in your place, I would do the same ….

    You were self so far to understand that imprisonment is an acceptable result.
    Only the charge of premeditated is a bridge too far.
    The lack of empathy chose the worst; it does not apply to them.

    After a while, they will tell friends and acquaintances that they once were part of a Jury.
    Proud as they are, tell them they chose what the majority wanted.
    Happy to tell their grandchildren, ever decide about life and death, without being punished for it. The state AZ grateful, that, they had the honor to participate in a trial with international attention.

    Yes Jodi, when everything is over, it is our time. Who laughs last, laughs best.

  937. Hello Jodi,
    My name is Renaica Harris and i just wanted to say to you that I am sorry for all that you are going through. I wish there was a way to make this whole ordeal better for everyone. Keep your head up. Somehing must come from this. I must tell you though that I think Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Wilmont are idiots and that based on lack of good councel, you should be able to ask for a mistrial or appeal on grounds of improper legal ouncelI. I could not believe my ears when Kirk Nurmi stood up there and said (9 out 10) I don’t like Jodi. What attorney says that about his client in court? Do what you can and fight. And please, please stop talking to the media. They are the worst.

  938. FRANK QUEEN AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Jodi I am still here still praying!!!!! Still Holding On….. Never Ever…. Will WE Ever….. Give Up!!!!!! God Bless You Jodi!!!!!!

  939. JODI – I THINK YOU MAY HAVE BEEN DRUGED BY TA ON AN ON-GOING BASES AND HAVE NEVER REALIZED IT. ASK FOR A HAIR STRAND TEST. SKIP THE STATEMENTS ON MONDAY I DON’T THINK FOR A MINUTE YOUR ATTORNEY’S HAVE YOUR BEST INTREST IN MIND. STAY IN THE LIGHT. PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD ARE PRAYING FOR YOU

    • Thanks for supporting Jodi – could you please not use all caps in the future? Thanks 🙂

  940. Hi Jodi,
    Just sitting here thinking about you as I do everyday!
    I just want you to know that you are loved pretty lady and I support you 100%!!!!
    I try and stop by everyday just to let you know that your on my mind and in my heart Jodi.
    I really want you to know this.
    With all my love sweetie,
    Meeshell xo-

  941. I truly bebelieve she was abused and possibly even a little brainwashed by him, as if his perverse antics that we were so priviledged to hear werent enough proof of his mental, lucid, and deviant sexual deprivations. I am a criminal justice student as well as a former victim of emotional, physical and sexual abuse. They keep saying she is a liar because nobody would go back to that , however as any abused woman knows……… we have all made that trip back to the man who did us so horribly numerous times, thinking maybe we can change him, or the bond is overwhelming, and by that point we are so broken that we dont really know another way, it becomes normal, routine and there is a strange comfort in that. And as for the “overkill” comments, that all she did in the finality of it was unnecessary……….imagine how angry and desperate she must have been at this point, he degraded her very consistently in every way possible……. so I can only imagine that when she did finally fight back, it was in a fit of hysterics, and in a rage she had been fighting for a very long time and in those final moments, she just exhausted all the physical power she had within her, because she was hurt, so very damaged that it was incalculable. I know her, she is familiar to all women around the world, I am her, the only difference is, I let him beat me bloody and had no access to a weapon for self defense, because if I had, I would have ripped him apart, as he had done so many times. Jodi, u are in my prayers. You took a stand against domestic violence and mental torment, and lost a piece of u to this person who no longer has the power to use u when he likes. I am very much in your corner and hope justice prevails in a system that is so corrupted, it should be a punishable crime in itself. GOD bless. I would love to speak with u one day if time ever permits. Stay strong and hold your head up, u are doing beautifully thus far……one more thing……. your art. U are massively talented and creative in a beautiful and elusive way that this system cannot rob u of. Much love sweetpea

    • they do not see women as abused ever, this country or maybe the entire world doesn’t see it for what it is. and that is the saddest of so much. to be abused, battered, emotional and or physically and then be called the perpetrator of it all is the worst possible slap in the face one could endure. I only know that if one cant go into flight when this is going on there is nowhere to go but feel the pain.

  942. its not easy at all, Jodi, however you seem to feel it in a way that isn’t understood by some, or many but I get it. you have emotional right to take care of yourself. I am sorry your lawyers wanted to bail on you now when its imperative they show loyalty. I know in the courtroom loyalty looks like a lie and a lie acts like the truth but it appears you know the difference. I am sending all the well being light your way…

  943. To Jodi Arias & her family & friends:

    I cannot imagine what you all are going through at this moment. But perhaps it might make you feel just a little bit better knowing that you are not going through this alone. The media is overwhelmingly biased against Jodi Arias and for Travis Alexander. There is no disputing that. And, they have taken it upon themselves to humiliate, denigrate and assassinate Jodi Arias one-by-one, little-by-little, every single day of this trial. Yet this woman keeps going back out there every single day to face the fire, face her critics, face her tormentors, face her would-be assassins and never backs down from any of them. This is one of many reasons why I admire and love Jodi Arias.

    I was raised Roman Catholic and I will be the first to admit that I am far from a perfect Catholic or a perfect human being. To me, perfection is unattainable and only God is perfect. However, I also think that as human beings we should strive for excellence and that the path to heaven is by being as Christ-like as possible. Not with words or slogans, but with adapting behaviors and a code of conduct that is consistent with the teachings of Christ. There are many men in this world who are charismatic speakers. Personally, I feel that charisma is overrated. Charisma is no substitute for character. You could have the greatest oratorical speaker in the world giving a speech, but if he does not believe what he is saying, then how can anyone believe what he is telling you?

    There are some so-called “Christians” in this country who have made themselves quite visible during this trial that not only want to see Jodi die, but they are reacting to the prospects of Jodi dying the way Travis was getting off on using Jodi and then discarding her like a piece of trash. Shame on them. Shame on Travis. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting awfully tired of the judgmental, holier-than-thou voices coming out of the Travis Alexander camp these days. They approach the Bible the same way the Taliban and al-Qaeda approach the book of Islam. They twist the words and teachings and exploit them for their own personal and political agendas. The only thing the Travis Alexander camp has not done yet is commit violence against innocent civilians. They only support the man who did.

    I am very intuitive and while it would be inaccurate to call me a psychic, I believe that I am more like a mentalist who has the ability and gift to read people. I know Jodi’s heart and while I don’t know her personally yet, I do know one thing: this murder was not pre-meditated. She is innocent. And, as an American who believes in the freedoms and liberties of citizens and a Christian who believes in the teachings of Christ, I have chosen to defend her, support her and do everything within the confines of the law to free Jodi Arias. And I will never back down from anyone no matter how much they try to intimidate me or my message. I will never surrender and, to paraphrase Pete Rose, I would go through hell in a gasoline suit to free Jodi.

    It will not happen overnight and it might take us some time, but together we will free Jodi Arias and bring her justice. Jodi, we love you and to Jodi’s family, we love you, too, and we aren’t going anywhere without you. I want you to stay positive and focused no matter how confused, desperate, helpless and hopeless it might seem to be or get. Their agenda is driven by hate. Ours is driven by love. Their agenda is driven by revenge. Ours is driven by justice. They want Jodi to die. We want Jodi to live and would have preferred Travis to be alive today and in jail to face his consequences. In the end, we will achieve and receive justice and freedom so long as we believe and conceive justice and freedom. God bless you, Jodi, and your family. And, if there is anything that I can do for you all, email me here. Thank you for listening.

    • Thank you for saying what I have in my heart, frank Q your input is very valuable. i will continue to pray for Jodi that God will stand by her side and help her through the rest of her life SM.

  944. I truly feel bad for Jodi. I know what it is like to be abused yet loyal. Emotional abuse is much more difficult to prove. Stay strong!!!!

  945. Hello, Jodi —

    Throughout this entire ordeal, you’ve handled yourself LIKE A CHAMP. I know that if I’M proud of you, your family must be over the moon. It’s the homestretch, girlfriend, and next time, it will be YOUR TURN.

    B.

  946. I pray for you Jodi. I know you have difficult circumstances, but I wish you, anything you wish for yourself. I’m sure you’ll have some positive circumstances. I can’t speak to what happened in the past. I can only say I believe in you, so keep in mind, some DO believe in you. May there be a better day for you someday.

  947. Dearest Jodi I am sorry for this injustice. I will continue to support you in the quest for justice. You have many many supporters. Please don’t lose hope. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
    Edward

  948. May God comfort you, lead you, guide you, give you good health, strength and courage.

  949. To whomever it may concern: (RE: Juan Martinez)

    My name is Brian and I’m the founder of Operation Nation, an organization that owns several blogs about “keeping U.S. government and media honest” and exposing economic and geopolitical tyranny across the globe. I happen to go through this Maricopa County system as a defendant myself at one time, which all started about six weeks after your “day” in 2008. Its a long story, but I fought these people for over three years before I ran out of gas and could no longer exert the energy necessary when they took my entire life away from me. I now view “life” in a totally different way that I never would have seen without that experience.

    I honestly did not know much about your case until late April of this year when I discovered something that will be my project for the next few months. I have been covering the story of Phoenix killer cop Richard Chrisman since he murdered unarmed Daniel Rodriguez and the young man’s dog on October 5, 2010. Chrisman was charged with murder, but only because a lameduck Maricopa County prosecutor (Rick Romley) was in office at the time. It is extremely rare for police anywhere in the USA to be charged with murder and even rarer for police to be convicted of ANY crimes at all, no matter how brutality and savagely they murder, rape or assault Americans.

    Juan Martinez is supposed to be the prosecutor in this case, which goes to trial at the end of July (after several continuances). I have attached links below to our coverage of the Chrisman case and now about Martinez. I can almost guarantee you that Martinez will not put forth the same “bulldog” effort he did against you (“Ms. Arias”). In fact, I would not be surprised if he simply retires and lives the rest of his life off the fruits of convicting you. If this guy is truly about justice and putting away killers, he will do his best against Chrisman as well. But don’t hold your breath.

    We are going to highlight this fact when we cover the trial in July. If Martinez puts forth the same effort he did against you, this killer cop will serve at least the next 25 years in prison (he was charged with 2nd-degree murder). Martinez can tell the jury that this cop told Mr. Rodriguez “I don’t need no warrant motherfucker” right before he shot the young man. Martinez will not get on this cop about the brutality he exhibited by shooting a defenseless dog simply because he felt like it. Chrisman’s own partner (the other cop who witnessed the murder) testified to all this. Chrisman has also planted drugs on people in the past to charge them with serious crimes. Martinez continually repeated the actions involved in your case, but no way he will so the same against this cop.

    I just want to make clear that I don’t excuse what you did and God will deal with that however he/she/it deems fit. I also live by Matthew 7:1-2 and do not judge PEOPLE. Government employees, however, are not “people”; they are “the state,” pursuant to the 11th Amendment of the Constitution and I’ll judge, fight and do whatever else is necessary against that evil. There are two things you have said that I live by myself or believe: that I would rather die than live an existence under the control of an evil government entity (which is why I do what I do without fear); and that people in general get satisfaction in vilifying others. This killer cop gets a good amount of sympathy from a majority of Arizonans, which the same can’t be said for you. Why? Murder is murder to me and apparently to you too, but the general population is so warped, that to them, YOU are the epitome of evil, and Chrisman is a good officer who was doing his job.

    Anyway, I hope this somehow reaches you. I’d be happy to keep you up-to-date on this, as I know Martinez will prove me right: that he is nothing but a media whore who will either retire before the Chrisman murder trial or lose it without putting forth the same effort he did against you. Since I know Maricopa County employees will have to hear this read to you, please make sure this is said: “their inbred faggot jail guards should know that they are simple tools to the state and have no integrity, dignity or conscience by working for that entity.” Feel free to write me anytime. Though I was only imprisoned (pre-trial no less) for 2 months, I certainly know what its like to be in that position.

    KEEPING U.S. GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA HONEST

  950. I wrote this new poem for Jodi tonight. See if you can catch the meaning of it.

    “Dear Jodi”

    Jodi, I hope that you are doing well
    Or at the very least better today.
    Do you read lots of postcards in your cell?
    I hope you like mine that is on its way.
    Are you painting or drawing any art,
    Ruminating underneath clouds above?
    I want you to know that you’re in our hearts,
    And we send you unconditional love.
    Someday not long from now you will be free,
    We will never give up or surrender.
    Every time that I look at you I see
    Lovely beauty with a heart so tender.
    Oh, they don’t know you, they don’t understand,
    Violence and attacks is their calling card.
    Each day I wish that I could hold your hand,
    You don’t need me to tell you this is hard.
    Oh, Jodi, help will soon be on its way.
    Until the next time, continue to pray.

  951. Hi sweetie,
    I just had to stop by again and tell you I love you and your in my prayers Jodi.
    Always remember that someone names “Meeshell” understands your pain and what you have been through.
    I love you Jodi. God bless you.
    With all my love,
    Meeshell

  952. Hi Jodi, We all are still here, we are still in your corner we still support you and all of us are praying for you. We will not and have not forgotten about you. Stay strong dear one. You are in my daily thoughts and always in my prayers, Love, Jessie

  953. Dear Jodi:

    Today I made a donation for you. I’m going to be sending you a postcard tomorrow. Whatever happens going forward, I assure you that somehow, some way, that postcard will get to you.

    I found a quote today from Isaiah: 51:4-5 that I wanted to share with you:

    “Listen to me, my people; hear me, my nation: The law will go out from me; my justice will become a light to the nations. My righteousness draws near speedily, my salvation is on the way, and my arm will bring justice to the nations. The islands will look to me and wait in hope for my arm.”

    If you are able to read this message, Jodi, I hope that you know just how many people are fighting for you and love you. You are not in this alone. We are there with you every single day and we are not going anywhere. Have faith in God, stay strong and positive, and always remember that you have an extended family waiting to greet you with open arms when we finally achieve justice. God bless you, Jodi, and your family.

  954. Dear Jodi,

    If you are reading this I feel privileged. My name is Patty and I’m from Los Angeles. I have been following your case for some time and I almost feel like I know you. I understand you. A broken heart is one of the most devastating things a person can go through. I think the only way to accurately describe the pain of a broken heart is through poetry. (“writing is words in order. poetry is the right words in the right order”- a quote one of my favorite high school english teacher would say.) I am soooo happy that this page is here and to know that other people can see through the media bullshit and empathize with the pain and distress you have endured. You are a true fighter, Jodi. It’s human nature to want to be free. I wish more people would understand what it feels like to be taken advantage of and be abused by someone you love. I pray for you. When we are truly sorry for something we did, I strongly believe God forgives us. We are but human and we are bound to make mistakes. Please continue to stay strong. I support you and believe in your good nature. I will send you a postcard soon. i would love to speak with you. You are not alone in there. We are all with you. God is with you.

    LOVE,

    Patty

  955. Watching religious hypocrisy makes me sick. All these friends of his.. allowed these “sins” to go on under their roof, and now they are on cable trashing one half of the relationship. You all realize that was his CHOICE to participate, his CHOICE to tape it, and his whitebread pals enabled the whole thing. Not saying murder is right, just saying he’s not the altar boy HLN made him out to be. Or he wouldn’t have been auditioning wives while maintaining a private life. Who wouldn’t though? We’re human- we have sex.I think the doctrines of this “church” have led to some very unfortunate consequences. And, he has an awful lot of “exes” who are “friends”.. just sayin.. The men I’ve watched in this case.. they’re all crying so hard, you’d think they wanted it in the a** first! I watched the whole trial and to me it was circumstantial evidence. I think it will be appealed. I work in animal rescue and I’ve smelled decomposition from a two pound cat.. How does a house full of people not notice that for five days?!!! My roommates are a braindead bunch of folks, but they would notice me rotting. I feel for you, Jodi, because I’ve been treated the same way by my bf. I don’t believe Sky/Clancy/Shoeshine/Ottoman..lol
    I pray you get an appeal, because something stinks in Denmark, and it isn’t your floormats!!

  956. Doesn’t felony murder have to be committed during a crime? I doubt Jodi went there to rob the place.. how are they pulling that one off? I really want to know why they didn’t look at the roommates. Leaving that smell for so long bothers me. I used to bitch when a girl on my shift would put cats to sleep and not bag them for two hours. It could only be exponentially worse with something so large as a person. In desert heat. This is what happens when you’re stuck with public defense in this country. I wouldn’t complain if they had followed everyone, but they totally ignored everything. To me, it wasn’t “beyond a reasonable doubt”. There were other plausible explanations. Which is why I have a serious problem with the conviction. But Nasty Grace will just sit there in her handcuff necklace and cry about her fiancee… She didn’t look too bad on dancing with the stars awhile back… now she’s back into “poor me” routine. weeping over the victims family as if it were her own. She has twin children and a new husband.. it seems an act to me. Her makeup artist does a great job. I’ve never seen smoky eyes not run. Maybe if you are a harpy, eye makeup stays put?! Raise money and appeal this!!

  957. Please Jodi be brave, hold onto you hopes. I don’t understand why so many media outlets portray a negative image of you. The courts have found you guilty but in my mind you are not. Think free on the inside. I follow you when l can. But think of you every day. John.

  958. So Nancy Grace is now complaining that Jodis’ 7×11 foot cell and being in it for 23 hours a day, every day, is too easy on her.
    As hard as she has been pushing for a guilty verdict and portraying Jodi as a monster, I have to wonder where she would stand if someday her little girl met a guy that messed with her mind and played the games Travis did, used her, abused her, and her daughter mentally lost it for a moment in time and did the same thing Jodi did.
    Do you think Nancy would be calling her a monster? Calling her evil? Calling for a guilty verdict? Calling for the death penalty? Absolutely not. She would be on tv, begging everyone to see that this was a great girl, blaming the abuse for her actions, begging for a temporary insanity plea/manslaughter.
    The way she, and the other media outlets have handled this, they are the monsters, profiting off Jodi getting mentally pushed over the edge by a user/abuser, who kept playing games with her head.
    Nancy Grace, do us all a favor and move on to your next victim for profit. You’ve done enough here, and if this was your daughter, your take on this case would be totally different/opposite, from how you have treated Jodi.
    I send hugs and prayers to Jodi and her sister and brother, may you all find continued strength to get through this injustice, one day at a time.

  959. Jodi,
    I have been thinking about you constantly. I have been having a hard time sleeping thinking about the fate that awaits you, both options are just horrific. You are so strong to have already made it through 5 years in that jail house hell. I am truly sickened by our whole legal system, the media and the prison conditions in this country. It makes me realize we are less advanced than I thought. I hope and pray that somehow down the line there will be a ray of light in the darkness ahead for you. You are still a human being with feelings and you should not be treated as less. As isolated as they try to make you feel, please try to remember that you are not alone.

  960. Jodi I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through I to know the feeling of being degraded treated like an animal lied to and abused in every form of way ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT HE PUT YOU THROUGH AND HE DESRVED EVERYTHING HE GOT LOOK INTO HIS EYES IN HIS PICTURES AND THEY WILL TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT WHO TRAVIS REALLY WAS…..LOVE YOU JODI KEEP YOUR HEAD UP YOU HAVE A WORLD BEHIND YOU

  961. finally in the Jodi Arias trial some strong truth came out, the attorneys want out of this case because the court has turned its back on the right to fair trial by the prosecutor intimidating witnesses and the judge allowing it to happy again and again. they pulled out on having anyone else come in and speak on Jodi’s behalf. which was an excellent and actually fair action. if you at a real trial no one is intimidating witnesses threatening anyone unless it is the subject. and the judge did allow constant intimidation on witnesses to the point of people threatening lives of those witness. in a way it was great to see those attorneys finally stand up for this client and themselves as the media continues to speak the opposite, and I was watching it.. I am so glad they let this truth out, they cant defend her because of that constant abuse and the judge why would she be so without affect to give FAIR TRIAL thanks to the attorneys for making this very clear and pushing away the media crap they continue to speak.

    • One of the biggest obsticles in this trial from the beginning is that it was televised and the jury was not sequestered.

      I drafted a memo to CNN & Nancy Grace about 3 weeks ago stating that trials of this nature should not be allowed to be televised until after the conclusion of the trial.

      By allowing commentators to make public comments about the case you create a bread & circus atmosphere and incite hatred.

      How is a person supposed to get a fair trial when they do that.

      The biggest risk is that a jury member might overhear something from the media that might influence their decison making process.

      In addition it further victimizes Travis’s family as well as the Arias family.

      I would argue that this is not justice it is a carnival.

      Thomas Pratt

  962. Jodi I think you have a good chance on appeal. Your trial has been nothing but a dog and pony show. Actually, they have a lot of circumstancial evidence and I don’t think self defense was that great of a defense for you, but the trial it self is so ridiculous. #1 it should never have been televised. #2 it’s treated like some new type of reality show. #3 the jury should have been sequestered. #4 the prosecutor thinks he’s a rock star and intimidates witnesses. #5. The judge doesn’t seem to have control of the trial—to many delays and days off. This trial has made a mockery of what I’ve always thought of as a fair legal system. I hope at some point you are given a new fair trial, so good luck

  963. Jodi your very beautiful and have a(n) amazing singing voice.

    I wish you the best.

  964. I haven’t watched your trial everyday and may have missed a lot, but I was stunned at the jury’s verdict of premeditation. Why didn’t your attorneys point out that anyone who uses a computer and/or digital camera realizes that something deleted is not necessarily deleted? Being dubbed as a “professional photographer” it is important to know how to retrieve pictures that could be accidentally deleted from a memory card, etc. The likelihood of any photographer not knowing that deleted photos can be retrieved is very remote; yet, I didn’t see one photographer on the stand to testify to this common knowledge, and I didn’t hear you asked this question either. That being said, who premeditates a murder and takes photos of themselves that are time/date stamped that places them at the scene of the crime, then leaves the camera along with the memory card left behind? If you ask me, the fact the pictures were taken that day is one of the strongest pieces of evidence that the murder was not premeditated above all other defenses. Add to that the fact that it is pretty common knowledge to photographers that most deleted photos on a digital memory card can be retrieved, and that blows premeditation out of the water.

    I don’t know if you murdered Travis in self defense, or not, but based on the photos being taken, deleted or not, left in the camera and the camera being left behind – if I’d been a juror, I would never have gotten beyond the fact you took pictures placing you at the scene of the crime and left the evidence behind to be able to say it was premeditated. Your attorneys did you no favors in not bringing this perspective to the attention of the jurors and allowing the prosecuting attorney to spew out all kinds of venom without any substantiated evidence to support his accusations. Did the police accuse you of stealing your grandmother’s gun? Did she testify that she thought you stole it? Please don’t tell me that a jury convicted someone of 1st degree murder based solely upon the unsubstantiated accusations of a prosecuting attorney and your defense attorneys just sat their without so much as pointing out to the jury there was no evidence and they couldn’t convict someone of such a crime based solely on the rantings of a prosecuting attorney without any substantiating evidence to support those wild accusations.

    You may or may not be everything you have been accused and convicted of, but no one with any knowledge of computers and digital photography plans/premeditates a murder, takes photos of themselves placing them at the scene of the crime, deletes the photos for modesty sake, then leaves that evidence behind to be retrieved by the police.

  965. Hey Jodi keep your head up jail is a lonely place. I hope whatever the circumstances i know you did what you did for a reason. Whatever the media says they dont live in your shoes. Much Love Kody

  966. Never give up on yourself. I pray that you have the strength tomarrow
    To be brave and just be who you are true to yourself. The rest will
    Be up to the lord. Im not by any means a bible thumper and I. Dont know
    To much about your trial but I. Saw your tears today and your pain is true.
    You have forgiven yourself no one here on earth is to judge you.
    I will pray for you. And I hope you find the courage to also ask to stay with us
    And continue your art maybe you will inspire someone one day. Then all uoir
    Pain will have been worth it. Theres a plan for all of us. We dont get to decide please
    Dont try to make yours.. my heart is with you..

  967. Dear Jodi, To the disapprovment of people I know, I DO NOT think you are guilty of 1st degree murder. When this whole story started, I feel they had you guilty and wanting the DP before you were even tried and I don’t think thats right. Nancy Grace should be ashamed of herself. I watched the whole trial and I did NOT see evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that you had planned what happened. I think you planned to go there and I believe a fight broke out and you defended yourself. My personal belief is maybe you kind of lost it when he came at you not for the first time. I am sickened that they are showing pictures of TA after it happened. That was poor choice. who is going to look good when they are deceased? answer; NOBODY. Like I said, I saw NO PROOF of premeditated murder and I cannot believe they are taking some circumstantial evidence and seeing it as solid proof. That to me is just unreal. I also know that if you had no feelings for TA and if you felt no guilt for what had happened then you would not have been crying when his family spoke. But people like Nancy Grave take that and twist it around. I want to say I feel very bad TA is gone, I feel sympathy for his family but I also feel sympathy for you not being believed and getting a fair trial and I feel sympathy for your family going through this also. It’s all very sad Jodi. Keep your faith, Lean on God, All truth is in God Jodi and He will carry you through anything and everything. recite the prayers. I have read about murders before, some very hainous and intentional over jealousy etc … and I have seen those people get only twenty years. One I know of only got 3 years but for some idiotic reason they are trying to make you an example or something, this is redicuous. Your whole life should not be taken away because of a fight with a lover or him abusing you lead to his death, AGAIN, I do NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING WAS PLANNED. I can’t understand why others can’t see that but Nancy Grace is mostly responsible for that I think. Good luck to you and God bless everyone involved.

  968. Keep your head up and stay strong! Always remember: “To Thine Ownself Be True”. No matter what happens, you fought the good fight and stood and faced your accusers. A lesser person would not have taken the stand for 1day…yet you have been on trial for pretty much 5 years and for 18days of it you bared your soul for the world to see. For that I respect the shit out of you. I served 20 1/2 years in prison, so I can feel your pain on alot of levels…I know the shit you are dealing with as far as the jail aspect of it goes and to have stood up and held up as you have is amazing and you have done it standing on your own two! When the clouds clear and all is said and done hold your head up and be proud of the fact that you rode out one hell of a storm!!! Once this blows over…and it will…regardless of the outcome, never give up on seeing the glass as half full. Dedicate yourself to something that takes you to a happy place (like your art) and live “free” thru it. By the way, FUCK NANCY GRACE!!!

  969. Jodi,

    I know thing are really messed up right now, but don’t go up there and ask for death. This is not over, you will get through this. You will see freedom again. As hard as it might be don’t let them win, we will win #TeamJodi will win. I wish I actually personally knew you cuz I would be there. Like I said before you have my support forever. stay strong!

  970. Appeal this thing, Jodi- Whatever it takes! The prosecutor didn’t prove crap to me. I thought M1 was beyond a reasonable doubt… they never questioned his roomies. And felony murder? Yeah, I’m sure you went to see a guy you loved to rob his tv…. It’s all a crock. My bf has taped me, degraded me, humiliated me all in terms of pleasing him… They brought you in on a palm print.. big deal.. there were five other ppl in that house and they didn’t follow a single one. To me that means reasonable doubt. As long as there are plausible explanations to what could have happened, how can they do this to you? They call it good police work, I call it shitty! They didn’t follow every possible lead. They just dragged in the nearest available scapegoat. Does “beyond reasonable doubt” not matter anymore? They made a big deal of it with oj. Now it seems to have disappeared. Nobody had a weapon to match to anything, nobody searched anywhere. Someone could steal a gun from my parents gun safe, use it and throw it out and we’d all be up shit’s creek according to juan.. just because it was the same caliber we kept on hand. This gradual violation of civil liberties scares me.

  971. Jodi,

    I don’t know what you could possibly say to appease the hate mongers and the jury. I pray that you find the right words and that you can endure this day with your sanity intact. Even at your bleakest points, the light you have within shines through. Don’t let anyone snuff that sparkle.

    God Bless you, honey.

  972. May 21/2013

    Hi there!
    I cannot put into words just how sad I am for all parties involved in this terrible tragedy.
    Sometimes, people get caught in the heat of passion and are so angry or frustrated they behave in a very thoughtless & violent manner.
    Jodi, I suspect you feel deep remorse for what you have done, but feeling the remorse will not bring back the dead. You need to take total responsibility for what happened and be as honest as possible with everyone, especially that Jury.
    Richard III:
    GLOUCESTER
    Say that I slew them not?
    LADY ANNE
    Why, then they are not dead:
    But dead they are, and devilish slave, by thee.

    I worry about you as I feel no matter what you may have to say, the prosecution & media will twist those words.

    That is why for the remainder of your life you will have to show genuine remorse through your actions.

    Pray the Lord forgives you and ask him how you might help others within the prison system.

    I pray The Lord will forgive you and will show you mercy!

    Regards,

    Thomas Pratt

  973. You did a great job on the stand today!!! I CAN’T stand watching HLN bash you.. and the other thing is if Travis’ FAMILY is so into their religion how can they wish the death penalty on anyone?? Wouldn’t they want to leave it in gods hands??? I think their religion is all a front!!! Good luck Jodi You are in my prayers!!!!!

  974. Dear Jodi, I don’t know u or anyone else involved, but I feel so strongly for your ordeal. I don”t know why. I read other comments, the good & the bad. I just cannot believe how uncivilized people really are in this day & age. I cannot wish death on anyone. I feel something is missing in all this. I have asked God to protect you from the hateful people that are enjoying all this. The Jury should of been sequestered, It should of been held in a different venue. Did your lawyers try to get this? Did they help you write this mornings plea?The news had a Lawyer stating that it would of helped if u told them you were sorry for what u did. I wish i could of done that for you. I hope That God will be there and guide the jurors correctly. I will continue to pray for you, you indeed can lead a useful & productive life in prison. take care, Sue.

  975. Bless you Jodie. I can’t believe so many people want to play God. What right do they have to take your life when our Lord only has the right. I am praying for you and please hold your faith. Love your artwork, tried to buy some but they say it is sold out. I know personally that a person can black out and not know what they are doing. I am with you always, in my thoughts, and prayers. I also know there is more to the case than what is being brought out. This didn’t just happen for no reason and Travis wasn’t as good as a lot of people think. God’s blessings to you always.

  976. I hate that this man, who I know u loved, and treated you both good and horrible is being given so much attention as if he was a god. I hate that abusers get the attention as if what they do is great… and no one seems to care or give a darn. I heard you apologize and don’t give HLN staffers a minute of your time. they are disgusting and horrific.. they make up one lie after another nancy grace at this time is talking about your demanding hair and makeup. knowing full well that they have to do this on camera. that station is disgusting please tell you parents to seek out a lawyer.. this has been worse than possible.

  977. That’s the sad sad thing these people are stupid and niev so is the jury there can be abuse in any relastionship. and no one would know the abuser can hide it and for everyone to just assume he wasn’t is wrong in so many levels. pedofiles are the same they hide it to unfortantly him being dead doesn’t show his true colors anymore or does it haha hes blue :)and theres been many people wrong done b4 and hopefully they prove this b4 its too late as far as the prosecutor goes can I cant stand him im so shocked at the stuff hes allowed todo and the judge to maybe there getting it on so that’s why.anyone in there right mind wouldn’t of allowed half of what she did and on another note showing them pictures is so wrong to cause you keep showing them over and over all it does is paint a wrong picture and funny how the haters send death threats to her friends to wtf does that have to do with the case I hope all them people burn in hell for that sry but I get so angry when people are just media stupid and everything else my wishes are with you Jodi and always will be .plus like I stated b4 ok this was her first time to what about gang bangers rapists and all the other violent people that do things over and over why don’t they do the right thing there ill tell u why our justice system sucks.Not enough investigation on it if they did the research instead of blaming someone just to say they have justice instead of real facts . Anyone can make someone look bad if they want to just another form of how this world is .

  978. Jodi I’m so sorry this happend to you and I’m sorry for people in this world that can’t see that you were the victim and although something horrific came out of this, i stiill believe you had just cause to rightfully stand up for yourself. I wish your lawyers were good enough to defend you the way you should have been fought for becuase I believe you’re definately worth it. I wish you could have been with a real man who would have never wronged you the way he did. Ill pray for you and I k now god willing everything will turnaround in the end.

  979. Jodi, I am only 22 years old but I have been watching your trial since January. You are a beautiful person and deserve happiness. I have been praying for you and your family. You have a lot of support. Probably more than you think. You did a wonderful job today. If you didn’t reach the hearts of just one of those jurors there is something very wrong with those people. You have touched my heart many times during this and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cried. We love you Jodi. No matter what anyone else believes, you DO make this world a better place. You are a gorgeous girl with so many wonderful talents
    Keep your head up. You will persevere. 🙂
    XOXOXO

  980. You were treated so horribly. If you ever need a friend or someone to be there for you over the upcoming years I would be glad to be there for you.

  981. Jodi,
    I am a full supporter. You are a strong, brave, beautiful, intelligent girl. I’m only 22 but I know what its like to suffer through abuse. I was never physically abused but to this day I am mentally and emotionally abused. I know what it can do to someone’s psyche. I look up to you. You stood up for yourself and refused to be treated in a way that you didn’t deserve. I’ve been watching your trial since January and to be honest, at first, I was a supporter. But that was my own ignorance. The more I listened and got to know you, in a way, I started seeing you in a different light. You have touched my heart. I can’t even say how many times I’ve cried watching you break down in front of the courtroom. Everytime you cry, it hurts me. All you wanted was happiness and now people are treating you like a monster. You aren’t a monster, Jodi. You deserve to be treated with respect. Not very many people can go through what you have and still remain so resillent. The world truly is a better place with you in it. You have a lot of support. More than you think. I’m not sure if you’ll ever see this but I hope you do. There are so many beautiful people on here and we’re all for you. All the way. Keep your head up.
    A Loyal Supporter,
    Brettney from MS

  982. Jodi,
    I just want you to know that I pray for you and your family everyday. Remember no matter what happens God is always in control and He loves you. May God bless you always…

    Cheryl

  983. Ineed to say this, I am certain Jodie’s lawyers already know this but even the worst happens and Jodie gets the death penalty it will be overturned.There is not a chance it will overturned, it will be overturned.The reason is when Juan Martinez said to the jury they needed to put Jodie to death because if they didn’t she could possibly get out on parole in 25 yrs that was a mistake.A monster mistake.He is not allowed to say that to the jury.Not allowed to make the jury feel they have to put her to death or she may walk yrs from now.Maybe he let his hatred for Jodie get the best of him idk but I do know he was not allowed to make such a remark to the jury.As I said earlier I am still praying it does not get far and the jury gives her life.The hatred for this woman has gotten completely out of control.Even I felt this hatred after seeing the autopsy pics of Travis and watching too much of the HLN network. I say that because the hatred spewing from that channel can make anyone lose sight of their own beliefs if you watch to much of it.It all seems to make sense except what if it doesn’t? What if this woman really was abused?I don’t think the majority of people have really asked themselves that question.They have just believed what the people they trust on HLN network are saying.I asked myself that question sevaral days ago.The answer is idk if she was abused or not and neither do the commentators on HLN.I have changed my mind and decided I cannot call myself a good Christian if I don’t give Jodie the benefit of the doubt.Jodie deserves mercy because no one but Jodie and God really know if she was abused.If she was then what has happened to her is so herendous.At the very least she was mentally abused and we have Travis own words to tell us that.I really wish Jodie wasn’t doing any interviews until after the penalty verdict, this is only fueling the fire of hatred toward her at this point.I pray to God the jury decides to show mercy.Someday they may need someone to show them mercy.Mercy is the answer in this case.

    • I agree, I have NEVER seen so much hatred on HLN. It wasn’t that bad for Casey but NG has gone way overboard, all of them have really.
      Well said Dee

  984. Jodi,
    I am sorry you were found guilty in the first….I believe you when you said TA abused you. I also know all you wanted to do was please him in every way possible to prove your love to him. He took advantage of you, as a person and as a woman. No matter what people may think or say…your a very talented person.
    God will forgive you if your truly sorry. I am not saying what happened was ok but I do believe you were pushed and snapped. I don’t want you to get the death penalty, I don’t think you planned what happened.
    I wish you the very best of luck in the ending result of your trial.
    God Bless!!

  985. Jodi….keep your head up girl. You and I both know that for some time now Travis has been aware of and is sorry for how badly he treated you…..I know he would not want a death penalty for you.

  986. Hi everyone! I am re-posting this from yesterday because I want Jodi and her family to see it.

    First, I want to say that Jodi did a phenomenal job today in front of the jury. It took a lot of courage and strength to face such hostility today, but she once again held her own and I never had any doubt that she would be great. Second, I would like to use this post to give my own defense of Jodi Arias and I’d like to take this occasion to address Jodi, Jodi’s family, friends, supporters and her enemies.

    “In Defense Of Jodi Arias”

    Judge Stephens, Mr. Martinez, Mr. Nurmi, Ms. Willmott, members of the jury, members of the press, Ms. Arias and her family and friends, and Mr. Alexander’s family and friends, I have chosen to be Jodi Arias’s character witness in this trial. Now, full disclosure, I have never met Jodi Arias nor have I known her for as long as Ms. Womack. And, no doubt, some of you are probably wondering, “Then how could you possibly be qualified to speak on behalf of Ms. Arias?” The answer is simple: justice. I seek justice for Jodi Arias because I believe her to be innocent of the crime of pre-meditated murder of Travis Alexander and I also believe that she suffered emotional, psychological and verbal abuse from Mr. Alexander. This is not to smear Travis Alexander or to besmirch his name, but rather to strip away emotion from this trial and focus on the facts instead.

    I seek justice for Ms. Arias because after researching her website, her blogs, her interviews and observing her body language in court, I believe that she has a good heart, a loving soul and reacted out of fear, not malice towards Mr. Alexander. Jodi did not have a criminal record prior to meeting Travis Alexander. None of her previous ex-boyfriends were killed. Then again, none of them treated her the way that Mr. Alexander did. Travis’s supporters may say to me that I am crazy and sick for supporting Jodi, especially when I have never met her or even know her. But can the same thing not be said to them and be applicable as well? Perhaps even more so when you observe the sycophantic behavior that is demonstrated by them on a daily basis? The difference between Jodi Arias supporters and Travis Alexander supporters is that we are not putting Jodi on a pedestal. We are not claiming nor have we ever claimed that Jodi is perfect. Contrast that to the Travis Alexander supporters who have taken to worshipping Mr. Alexander as if he is a deity.

    Much has been made about the graphic photos of the crime scene. I will not dispute that. Personally, I wish that Travis Alexander had never died. I wish that he was alive so he could face the consequences of his actions. Although, depending on your belief system, I personally feel that Mr. Alexander is facing a jury of his peers of his own, so to speak. The crime scene photos are horrific, but that does not stop the media, especially HLN, from sensationalizing them and almost reveling in the gore to the point of being gratuitous with the violence. And speaking of gratuitous, the sex tape between Travis Alexander and Jodi Arias has been referred to as “offensive” and “shocking” by many, but that doesn’t stop our friends at HLN, especially Jane Velez-Mitchell, from playing it on an almost nightly basis. As if that weren’t enough, the “talking heads” as my Mom refers to them on HLN have taken it upon themselves to line up one-by-one against Jodi Arias and gleefully anticipating her death sentence as the clock winds down. At the same time, they have chosen to take up the mantle of supporting Travis Alexander, almost to the point where I expect pom-poms to be delivered to the HLN studios any day now.

    Much has been made about Jodi Arias’s youthful indiscretions. Did she make mistakes? Yes. Did she make some bad choices? Yes. However, if each and every one of us were to have someone delve into our past, I’m sure that they would find some youthful indiscretions, mistakes and bad choices of our own, too. The thing is that Jodi straightened herself out, grew up and turned herself into a successful woman. Mr. Martinez likes to mock and ridicule Ms. Arias by constantly bringing up how her one talent is “drawing pictures”. Mr. Martinez, you obviously have not taken the time to study Jodi Arias as much as I have and others have. To attempt to minimize her and diminish her in front of court like that is not only offensive, but it is disrespectful and precisely the kind of behavior that was exhibited towards Ms. Arias by the late Mr. Alexander. The very fact that you are aware of this yet chose to verbally and psychologically abuse her did not go unnoticed, Mr. Martinez. Shame on you, sir. And shame on those supporters of Travis Alexander who have chosen to lead a blitzkrieg on television, radio and the Internet which apparently knows no boundaries of decency and respect. With all due respect, many of these people need to get a life before they ever have to decide whether or not to take another person’s. I frankly question the sincerity of most of them because I believe many of them are motivated more by the potential 15 minutes of fame instead of genuine support for Mr. Alexander.

    I just hope that the Jodi Arias family and her friends and supporters know that my support for her and them is genuine and that I could care less about fame. What I want more than anything is for Jodi Arias to walk out of jail or prison a free woman still in her 30s with the next half-century to look forward to. Someone recently asked me, hypothetically, if I would be crazy enough to want to date Jodi Arias. I thought about it for a minute and chose to answer him by saying that if I had a choice between never seeing Jodi again or marrying her, I would marry her. Now, this is not some pathetic declaration of love or wanton desire to be with Jodi Arias. I am only saying that if, and I repeat if, hypothetically, the two of us were to ever be brought together by fate or destiny, that I wouldn’t be afraid because I know what kind of a person that she is. She doesn’t come without problems or issues, but she’s not alone in that regard. If I was her boyfriend or husband, I wouldn’t be able to promise her that I would be the best kisser, the perfect lover or the perfect anything, but I could guarantee her that no man would work harder to give her unconditional love on a daily basis. So, to answer this gentleman’s question and, potentially, yours, too, no, I would not be afraid of dating Jodi Arias and neither should any other man be. None of her other boyfriends were murdered or hurt. What does that tell you? Why Travis Alexander? Could it possibly be because he used all sorts of disparaging names towards her? Or could it possibly be that he pushed Jodi Arias to the brink of snapping and, after months and years of internalizing her fear towards him, she finally lashed out in self-defense?

    The only hand that I ever have any interest in laying upon Jodi Arias is the one of friendship. I am Catholic, not Mormon, so my book of choice is The Holy Bible, not the Book Of Mormon although I respect the LDS Church and the majority of its followers. Today, I was reminded of one of the scriptures in the Bible. Specifically, 1 Peter 2: 1-25 that says, “So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” Perhaps it would be a good idea for Mr. Alexander’s supporters to read that passage again and try to take away something from its meaning.

    Much has also been made about Jodi Arias’s lack of remorse. What does this woman have to do for people to stop hating her? She apologizes, she’s wrong. She doesn’t apologize, she’s wrong. No matter what she says or does, she’s going to be wrong in the eyes of Travis Alexander’s supporters and their willing accomplices at HLN. So, Jodi is really put into a “damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t” position. Perhaps Ms. Arias lacks the emotional histrionics of the Alexander family in the courtroom that allows them to cry on cue, but this does not make Jodi’s tears any less sincere. I think the easy thing for her to do would be to turn on the “water works” and start bawling in the courtroom, begging for forgiveness. But from what little I know of Jodi Arias, I don’t think she likes to take the easy way out. I think that Jodi likes a challenge, and if that is true, then she sure has one to deal with now. A big one. But it is not impossible nor beyond the realm of possibility that she can and will win this fight someday. I will be there supporting Jodi every day, every step of the way.

    Ms. Womack did not decline to appear in court because she dislikes Ms. Arias. She did so out of fear, fear of the potential repercussions that would occur had she faced the judge and jury yesterday. The fact of the matter is that some people, perhaps more than some, who support Travis Alexander have taken to making death threats against people who support Jodi Arias. They have also felt that it is their God-given right (no pun intended) to bully, attack and harass people on the Internet and in the public who are adamant about their support for Jodi. To me, it’s not important to ask why they do this, but rather how can they do this?

    Jodi Arias is more than just someone who “draws pictures”. She is survivor of abuse and I have no doubt that, given the opportunity to speak out against domestic abuse, that she will help raise awareness and funds to help these individuals. She is also a daughter, granddaughter, sister and friend to many. If I was ever to be that lucky to be her friend, I would be eternally grateful and proud to call Jodi Arias my friend. There is so much more unlimited talent and greatness that is within Jodi Arias that has yet to be fulfilled. I feel it. And, so I am asking you, members of the jury, to spare Jodi Arias’s life so that she does not receive the death penalty. Part of that has to do with my Catholicism. I believe that life is sacred, whether it’s abortion or the death penalty. And I have all of the confidence in the world that Jodi will be a mentor and role model to the other prisoners, if she is not already, and will benefit from this experience as a better person for having to go through it. I think that the moral and Christian thing to do would be to punish her with life in prison as opposed to taking her life.

    This trial is almost over with, but our resolve is not. I will continue to support Jodi and her family in the next coming days, months and years, if that is how long it takes. I believe her and, more importantly, I believe in her. She is not arrogant, she is confident. At least, she was until last week when she truly was humbled by the verdict that was rendered. It was heartbreaking for me to see Jodi like that because I had not seen her with that look previous to that. It was a look of resignation and utter shock and I never want to see her look like that again. I want Jodi to be happy and healthy and to use the knowledge she has picked up in many of the books that she has read to help her on her path to freedom. I ask you the jury to put aside whatever bias you may have against Ms. Arias and ask yourselves a question: “If this was my daughter would I feel the same way?” Your honor, I rest my case.

  987. May 22/2013

    Hi there!

    Jodi, I was able to watch excerpts of your request for the Jury to spare your life.
    For what it is worth, I believe your remorse is sincere.
    Please do not misunderstand what I have to say to you. I do have compassion for you. I am only saying what is written below so that perhaps you can re-evaluate your approach with the courts, should your case come up for appeal.
    What stymies the media and the many whom are observing your behaviour, is your flatness of tone and what appears to be total detachment not only for Travis’s family but in caring about what happens to yourself.
    We cannot see any empathy other than how this catastrophic choice is going to hurt you.
    It is about you & your life, but what you still have not been able to adequately express is that it is really about how Travis will never have a family of his own or see children or watch them grow up. He will never experience family celebrations or gatherings or be able to tell his sister or brother that he loves them. He will never be able to hear how they love & miss him.
    It is about saving your life, but not about what you will miss out on.
    I hope you have empathy. I think maybe you do, but have never learned how to express it or perhaps there is something that God forgot to give you. If that is the case, I do feel sorry for you because as I have said before real love is putting the needs of others ahead of your own.
    It is my most sincere hope that I have not offended you by the above statement. I am trying to support you as I just believe it is what God would want me to do.
    Regards,
    Thomas Pratt

  988. Jodi:

    Don’t you give up!!! You look so defeated when you spoke to the jury and I won’t say that you did not
    have a good reason too!

    I have never been in your position as far as jail/prison and don’t know how you have stayed so calm….maybe not the right word, because I am sure your insides are churning! Do not think that we
    will forget you, no matter what the jury comes in with. You still APPEAL, APPEAL, APPEAL. You take whatever is available to you to and you use it, so that your circumstances are not in vain!!!

    Praying for you……love your picture of the sand timer….I have it framed in my bedroom and just as in
    your picture that you drew……the sand never runs out!!!!

  989. I wrote a very demanding blog about you thus morning, but I can’t post it on this support site. What I want to tell you is that I do understand your motivations. I watched as you hid your face while Martinez exposed your most intamate pictures. True, you shouldn’t have done what you did, but also, Alexander should have never let you in the door, stayed with you all night, and then drop a bombshell on you like he did. That’s what I called “Death by Stupid!” You are caught up in a national media frenzy. No matter what the sentence is it ain’t over till it’s over! Your life isn’t over, kid. I wonder what Jodi would be like if handled like a precious flower. You hang in there. We are all called for a reason.

  990. Funny….I am more afraid of attack from the PUBLIC than Jodi Arias in leaving a comment on this page. I am amazed at the venom…rage…hate….and violence wished upon Jodi. I don’t know what happened that day Travis died. I wonder if it was my family member that died how would I feel? I know I would expect punishment. BUT….I would never want revenge.I would pray for God to take the hate away. But people are swimming in it. They love the hate and rage. If I was in Jodi’s position…guilty or Innocent I think I too would become cold. I would hide my tears and regret….and become stone.

    A man was put to death just a few weeks ago. He had raped and druing the rape he suffocated a 6 month old baby. There was no circus of media and outrage for that man like there is for Jodi. I don’t get it. Why? Why does a man who rapes a baby to death not call out anger like a pretty women who stabs a man to death? What does it say about society? On the media pages…the most evil vile comments are from women. Why are they so angry at her? Murders happen everyday! We should be angry. But instead people spend their day on Dr. Drews page describing the horrible ways they would lke to see Jodi put to death. Some say how they wish the could be the one to kill her. They would stab her and hit her….and I am thinking…..you ARE just as vile and evil as you think this woman is!

    I pray that Travis rests in Peace. I hope whatever is the truth is that Jodi does finds a way to be a better person.I wont wish death on anyone. That is not my place. I am better than revenge. I pray for all the family members involved. Just sad….for humanity.

  991. As I was typing my note to Jodi’s page the news broke in and the jury are dead locked at this point on the death penality. Very glad to see maybe someone on the jury might actually understand. I hope that gives Jodi some peace that there are people that see her life as value. I too am one of them. Again…Prayers for Jodi and her family….as well as the Alexander family.

  992. How can I send Jodi a book/talk to her (or family member/friend) directly?

    I can help, and have already been relentlessly passionate about helping…

  993. HI Jodi ♥

    You are amazing and strong. I have so much respect and admiration for you. I am so glad you are aware of the love and support that is out here for you. I believe that you will be victorious in the end. The truth will come out, and you will be vindicated.

    You are NOT the most hated woman in America. You are the most misunderstood woman in America. People are so afraid to think for themselves. To look at evidence and do their own research. Many of us out here have done just that, and support you and believe you are innocent.

    Prayers, love and peace to you and your family ♥

  994. To Roger or Robby- Jodi’s ex-boyfriend, at this point we see that she was indeed programmed to accept abusive men in her life. You are pathetic and so abusive just like all the rest of these people who are giving you the right to speak with such rage. What we know about men who are abusive them blame the woman and you are true to form. There is such a sickness that is obvious and not painful for those of us who have been through this domestic abuse issue. Survivor is the name of this game. I for one do not feel sorry for Travis Alexander why? Because he helped make this happen, no one just kills because they have a day that says today, or else. I don’t forgive this Roger person Jodi might but on day she will see that distance and the truth of how one’s life is destroyed by domestic abuse means two people go down. And in this case two people did, if he had killed her you would all have been okay with that because abuse is okay to you.

  995. Jodi, I sincerely think you are a strong and beautiful person. There is no doubt you did that to Travis, But I believe you had a great reason though.. It’s really hard to live in a house where you’re the only one who supports you. I am disgusted by HLN and their terrible depiction of you, I’m sick of them pointing the finger at you, It’s not all your fault. I believe that Travis drove you to a stage of depression and abuse that you felt your only way was to kill him..

    PS. I’m only 13, But I know enough to make an educated opinion about you. And from whatI know you are a generous woman. Stay strong Jodi, You have so many supporters out there, And I’m on of them.

  996. It’s true, All you wanted was approval and Travis stepped all over you! You are awesome, and all our heart felt thoughts go out to you. You have so many genuine supporters. So hang in there!

  997. Hey Jodi, I’m a supporter of yours. I too am a survivor of domestic abuse and have known womanizing men like Travis. My ex-husband beat the crap out of me when I was six months pregnant. He stood on my face and my stomach. He threw me up against the walls several times, Then, he threw me down a flight of stairs and left me for dead. I lay real still all night and played dead until he left for work the next morning. He never checked on me after he threw me down the stairs. After he left for work, I got the hell out of there and never went back. I relate to your story because your relationship with Travis sounds a lot like my relationship with my ex. We brought out the worst in each other. I have a question for you thought. Why do you do all of these interviews? They just make you look bad. Perhaps you don’t have access to a TV. If you did, you would see how you look in the interviews. I’m just sayin’ … you just don’t come off good in these interviews. Praying the jury spares your life and that an appeal eventually reverses your conviction.

    Prayers for you,
    Cynthia

  998. Dear Jodi,

    I thought that good morn america prick treated you terribly. I went to the good morn amer. interview site and posted some scathing comments . I wish you could read them they are spot on and I am a huge supporter of yours . Wish I could wave a magic wand for you. Travis was such a mentally ill cheater.liar and hypocrite. He disgusts me with how he led you down a dead end path and played around with your heart. He would be horrified to know how he has been found out and exposed to the whole planet about his sexual promiscuity and what a player and cheat he was. He was not even REAL and everyone knows it. He has been exposed for the liar , cheater, and hypocrite with his mormonsim. He is now a nasty joke to those of us who can actually see beyond the crime ,I am sure , that was born out of frustration by you. God Bless you . Karma was a bitch for Travis the playa

  999. Jodi, it is 8:45pst on Wednesday night. Though I normally would be at the gym, I am not. I am home thinking of you and your plight. I loathe HLN, but I have my television tuned to that station–perhaps to stay somehow in touch with your suffering and fool myself into believing that by doing so I suffer with you.

    I just saw a clip from an interview where you were asked “why” you were “talking to the media.” You remained stoic, and stated that you want women who have been abused (btw–mine was all verbal/emotional; he never laid a hand on me) to see the importance of documenting the abuse.

    Jodi, I am writing this to thank you. For having strength beyond any I could ever have. For not breaking and allowing the Hate to see your pain. And for the beauty that you have contributed–and will continue to–give to the world.

    I don’t know what happened that day. But whatever did, I know that it was something that He drove you to. And that it is not who you are. l

    Some day, Jodi. Some day.

    Thank you for being the person I could never be.

  1000. Here is what ticks me off… All the haters want to say shes holding interviews for the attention. NO! It’s because she has freedom of speak. The only ones looking for any sort of fame is the FRIENDS of Travis who seem to know SOO much about her and Travis, yet these same friends let him go missing for how many days? 5? I mean the dude was supposed to catch a plane to Cancun and he isn’t found for days!!!! Jodi cared more than any of them. I heard her say she doesn’t get to see the internet at all so I do hope she get’s these messages.
    ~~CP

  1001. Jodi,

    Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about yourself anymore! The only one you need to be concerned about is God himself. You served your time and paid for your mistake. Let God give you peace and love. He is merciful and forgiving. Those Mormon fools are very sick people. On the Drew show, I heard Chris Hughes talking about how he was praying with the family and I thought to myself how disgusting for them to actual pray to God (if that’s what they really did) while at the same time hoping for the death penalty. I can’t imagine that a true child of God would want that kind of revenge and could be so unforgiving.That is completely evil. In my entire life have I not witnessed so much evil and hatred in the world today. The hatred that the media spreads and all the people who seem to follow because they are just as evil. The multitude of people who feel the same way is incredibly depressing. Compared to the hateful and very evil people out, there are a handful who are kindhearted and forgiving. We all know who these people are because I believe those people are special. You can feel the spirit of God and goodness of those people. I have a verse out of the book of Matthew 7 verses 13&14 “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

  1002. Jodi,

    I also wanted to say that I was in an abusive relationship. For three years I was mentally and physically abused. I was so obsessed with this guy (I can’t even say his name) physically and mentally. He pointed a load gun at my head and I thought for sure I was going to die. I wanted to leave him, but each time I tried he would cry and beg me not to so because I felt sorry for him I stayed. He ended up cheating on me and I found out that he had a child with another girl. Still I had a hard time letting go because my self esteem was so low. One night I was wearing a beautiful black, laced blouse. It was brand new. We were sitting in the car and he was jealous because of the way I looked and he wanted to mess it up. We started arguing and he tore my blouse and I went into a rage and started hitting him back for the first time. I don’t know how far I would have gone had I had something in my hand, but I was tired of being treated like a dog. Eventually I stopped speaking with him and he started threatening me for several weeks until he finally left me alone. I ended up with a great man. I believe you Jodi. I believe you were abused. I know he hurt you badly because I was hurt very badly. I never want to go back to those times ever again. Stay strong my friend!!!

  1003. I have been on this website quite a few times now and I have watched the trial on TV and the reactions from various people. I have to say that something came across my mind today. I bet if I was hurt and needed help and I knocked on the door of every person on this page. Each person would open their door to help me. If I knocked on the door of all the people on HLN, and the Alexander family and the haters of Jodi, they would leave me out to die. That is the feeling I get. Everyone on this website has something in common and that is we feel others pain and we are humble and forgiving. This is the way I want to be. I want to be the person who will help someone knocking on my door and not the one who closes the curtain and turns off the patio light. God Bless you all!!!!!

    • Both your post were great and say very positive things glad to hear you got out of that bad realationship b4 it was too late that maybe we would be reading about you :)And yes I cant stand anyone at hln all they do is hate they have nothing nice to say and the people that don’t understand why she was drivin to the point that she was well I feel bad for them. Cause usually an abuser or rapist don’t want to be knowen as that cause they know its wrong so they hide it and well that’s the only thing that he took to his grave but its ok cause there hoping to just get there justice the wrong way wich they will all have to answer for it some day.be strong Jodi today was a good day of victory and them jurors knew that they were being over board was why they didn’t want to come to the conclusion that the family wants

  1004. I find today really interesting. All these people who leave comments on news articles, calling for the death penalty and saying really aweful things, giving their opinion on Jodi getting sentenced to death. I think the jury is finding out, it’s not that easy to come to that conclusion/sentence.
    I think Jodi stood tall in front of the jury and read what she would like to accomplish and contribute to society from prison. I feel like with the verdict decided, the jury saw Jodi, with the pressure of the verdict off, for who she really is. I think now they are realizing that yes, we found her guilty of premeditated murder but I feel like in the back of their minds, there is doubt. And that doubt, which should have been recognized before deciding premeditated murder, is making it really REALLY difficult for them to decide on the death penalty.
    I think Jodi has hope. There is still a possibility of a life sentence with parole possible. Jodi can positively effect the lives of inmates and be an angel for them for 25 years, stay positive, stay commited to helping others, and she could be out one day to live the remainder of her life. Maybe not the outcome most on here were hoping for, but right now, it’s the best she can hope for.
    As always, I send a hug and prayers to Jodi, her brother and sister, and may they find the strength to get through each day.

  1005. Hi Jodi,
    As always I am praying and thinking of you.
    I hope soon I can get all the letters I have written to you and poems.
    I love to write, it is my passion.
    Jodi, I know you are loved. b/c I know I love you.
    You stay strong!
    and I will keep praying.
    I will always support you 100%!!!
    With all my love,
    Meeshell xo-

  1006. Good morning Jodi,

    Stay strong, don’t let the ‘Hate Obsessed’ people get to you. Many of those women I’ve seen on HLN, who claim to be survivors of Domestic Violence, and who are attacking you are just ‘camera hungry COWARDS’. These people are the reason Domestic Violence issues continue to be a worldwide problem. They don’t have the guts to stand up for themselves. I really hope that you and your legal advisers find the way to continue “FIGHTING ALL THE WAY BECAUSE YOU ARE A “SURVIVOR!” I will wear my T-shirt with pride.
    Please, take care of yourself.

  1007. Jodi, please know that you have brought to the fore so many issues for those experiencing emotional abuse. Intelligent as you are, you no doubt searched for answers as to why you felt confusion, anger, and at the same time love while you were with Travis. I did the same when I was in the same type of relationship. And everywhere, the advice is clear: Document the verbal abuse. Document it not only to show others if necessary what you experienced, but also to review and hear again interactions with the emotional abuser. Doing so is supposed to help the victim see the abuse for what it is and, hopefully, learn.

    The frightening thing about what has happened to you is that you did exactly what anyone in an emotionally abusive relationship does–because that is what we are ‘told’ to do. And now, that is being used against you; they say that documenting the abuse was all part of some master plan to kill Travis.

    Like the commenter above, I too lost it a few times with my abuser. Nothing huge triggered those outbursts; I just couldn’t take it anymore. The pain and hurt and confusion and frustration were so overwhelming. When he came after me I ran into the bedroom and squeezed under the bed where he couldn’t get to me. Had there been a gun in that same room I cannot say that I would not have grabbed it.

    You were abused. You stand for all that victims of emotional abuse suffer. And we understand.

    Please remain strong.

  1008. May 23/2013

    Hi Jodi:

    I am praying that God will be merciful with you and that he will grant you your life.

    regards,

    Thomas Pratt

  1009. Jodi God loves us more than we can even imagine. That’s the only thing that matters and don’t you ever ever forget it. We’re all human. We all screw up. And yet He loves us. ALL of us.

  1010. Yes.. Yes … Yes … Yes…. Yes…. When will they all see that …. Almighty God In Heaven Is In Control!!!!! Jodi We Are Here!!! This Is Awesome To See The Power Of God At Work. Hang On!!!!!!!We Will Never Ever Give Up On You!!!!!!!!!

  1011. Dear Jodi,
    You haven’t a prior history of violence, EVERYONE is capable of killing, the “premeditation idea is all circumstantial, etc. How could a petite lady drag a lifeless body (stocky man)? Where are the bloody footprints? There isn’t any proof that you brought a gun. No proof that Travis did not own a gun. I could go on and on. But I wonder why so many people are out to lynch you??? All I can say is “judge not, lest you be judged.” Your trial has been like a Roman colliseum.
    I was married years ago to a 4th generation Seventh Day Adventist. He taught in the parochial schools. He was handsome and very charistmatic. He also was a lay minister and musician. He was physically and emotionally abusive to me, my mother, our 3 chihuahuas while living under my mother’s roof. He had sex with underage girls, as young as age 13. No one would believe me. Mom and I took my young son and moved away from our home and “hid” until my son was old enough to protect himself. My ex is still a missionary with his church. He has been transferred from state to state, and finally overseas.
    Violence is not good, but minds can and sometimes do “snap.” You are not a threat to society.
    I am saddened that Travis lost his life. But taking your life will not bring him back.
    Jodi, I do not judge you. I care about you. I love you with the Light of God.
    If I were your mother I would be begging for your life.
    My prayers are with you and I hope you get to read this and know how much I care.
    Sincerely,
    JRK

  1012. Good luck today thoughts are with you.
    How do I send a card to Jodi at the jail.
    Please email me Thank You

  1013. Jodi…… Jodi….. Jodi…….. Thank you…… Thank you …… Thank you Jesus…….Jodi We Love You!!!!!!!

  1014. May 23/2013

    Jodi:

    I do not know what to say.

    It is my most ardent prayer that you are spared the death penalty, but my heart also goes out to travis’s family.

    In so many ways this case really truly sadens me for everyone concerned.

    Don’t take this the wrong way when I say I was hoping you would get life. That way Travis’s family gets justice and you get to live so that you can have time to try to redeem yourself in some way.

    It would be sad for you to one day meet the Lord without having been afforded the opportunity to turn your life around and help others.

    I pray for you & Travis’s family!

    Regards,

    Thomas Pratt

  1015. Jodi,
    It’s a very blessed day for you!!!! All the haters and murderers are crying because they didn’t get their way today!! Too bad!!! So sad!!! Nancy disgusting Grace and HLN and all the haters in your face!!!! When there is no forgiveness then there is no end. Jodi hang in there my friend your going to be free someday!!!

  1016. Jodi,

    You are a Survivor and you rock! You are going to become a great advocate for domestic violence. You carry yourself with grace and dignity and for that I am very proud of you. Many women could learn from you. You have been to hell and back.

    Love you Jodi
    Sherry Thornton

  1017. After the news today, I think the prayers and support of everyone on here, are being heard. Today was a big victory, but it’s not over. I’ve read the comments from articles on today online. I see all the comments outraged that the death penalty was not decided on. Everyone on here is clearly the minority on this topic. Honestly, the majority makes me sick. All those people calling for the death penalty, would be outraged at the jury for overlooking the abuse and mind games played by Travis, and begging a jury to spare Jodis life if Jodi was their daughter, or sister, or family member. Disgusting.
    I send a hug and continued prayers to Jodi and her brother and sister, may they find continued strength to get through each day.

  1018. Dont know if you will ever see this, but I thanked god for the mistrial, and hope for another.Evan given life, you can still get out. It all takes time. Presidential pardons, ect………! Please dont ever give up Your resolve has been a strenght for me. I and those who are with you, will NEVER stop our suport! I Wont. God bless you, Rudy.

  1019. Dear Jodi

    Hi! I completely support you, according to me you are bright, beautiful and intelligent girl. I would like to meet you as soon as possible.

    Wish you all the best
    Praveen

  1020. Jodi,

    I watched everything today and I am happy that round one of the penalty phase is over with. I hope you continue to pray and keep the faith in the Lord. He will get you through and support you if you ask. He has gotten you through this far. I would keep concentrating on what needs to be done because there is still a lot for you and your lawyers to do for appeals. I keep you in my prayers daily and will continue to do so. Survivors need to stick together and support each other. No one understands truly what we go through like another survivor. I hope our messages of hope find there way to you to help you stay strong. If not, I will be more than happy to get a postcard and to write to you. Stay strong, focused and positive.

    Tina

  1021. yayyyyyyyy !, this jury could not put Jodi to death, my faith in humanity is restored, as awful as Travis fate was there were mitigating circumstances, Jodi can do good in prison helping others as there is good in her..well done, Mr Nurmi, Ms Walmott and the jury ! God bless Jodi !

  1022. Jodi,

    No matter what people say, I feel you have done everything right during your trial. Many are in awe of how much grace and composure you have exhibited throughout this worst nightmare of your life.

    I believe you have been truthful and speak from your heart. You have not “trashed” Travis as they say. Despite everything you have spoken of him as well as you can. I feel you have shown your remorse adequately and often wonder what these people are thinking when they say you are not sorry. I think it is obvious you are remorseful and you have conveyed it as well as anyone could.

    There are so many of us who believe in you and feel something will turn for you. I do believe things didn’t add up for the jury; therefore, they could not go forward with the death penalty. Jose Biaz said during an interview that a new jury will just cause more problems and will not solve anything. His unspoken words were that something was going to fall in your favor because of your witnesses being intimidated and threatened.

    What the media has done to you to undermine a fair trial is unspeakable. Of course all they care about is ratings, not the people involved.

    You will have a respite now for a month or so. Please be good to yourself and take the best care possible and get away from all this crap by reading some good books, keeping your thoughts elevated and lots of prayer. I think you have beaten the worst of it. I will pray the worst that you get is another 20 years. Believe me, 52 is still very young and you will still have the best years of your life ahead.

    Remember, you have thousands of supporters. Many are afraid to voice their opinion or come forward for fear of recriminations. But they are there and don’t you forget it.

  1023. So glad to hear a mistrial! Was hoping. With all the publicity from HLN and the media you could not get A FAIR TRIAL! tHE JURY SHOULD HAVE BEEN SEQUESTERED. Your attorneys did a wonderful job! Sorry, Mr. Martinez! Stay strong and hang in there. Justice will prevail! Believe the jury got the verdict wrong on murder one and do not feel it was felony or premeditated. Have followed this trial from day one. All of the people that think the only verdict is death, absolutely do not understand. It is just being made into a circus and that is so sad and should not be allowed. Again, hang in there, think positive and our prayers go out to you. Had to smile at some of your statements as they were well deserved.

  1024. So HLN is not happy at all with the hung verdict eh? Too bad! If all HLN cares about is killing Jodi so they can make Martinez a media star and rack up huge TV ratings to lather their profit then maybe instead of using Jodi and the Alexanders they “HLN” can cough up the money and pay themselves for the 2nd penalty attempt! Maybe Vinnie pop his eyes Politan and his Tony Soprano dirty mouth could donate his paycheck to pay for the new penalty trial. Or Nancy Grace and Jane Velez-Whatever the hell she calls herself and (excuse me while I stifle a laugh) the TV doctor….DREW could spare the taxpayers of Arizona another penalty trial and the costs involved and donate thier 7-figure salary so their HLN network can milk some more out of it for their greedy little profit making scam by turning this into another circus. End it all now and just let Jodi live her life in prison. Enoughof this media circus witch hunt fired up by HLN pretending to be altruistic advocates for justice and the Alexander family. HLN is nothing more than a profit scam USING Jodi as a way to gain for HLN with their little evil minions Vinnie Politan, Nancy and Jane and the limp Dr. Who-Drew to spew their venom and cause upheaval and chaos while screwing the taxpers into believing this is the route to justice. It’s a LIE!!!

  1025. Jodi I would look into the Constitutionality of the new jury just for the sentencing phase, being that they didn’t sit troughthe whole trial and never rendered the guilty verdict themselves. What? They’re going to base their decision onwhat they hear in the media, trough social networks or newsprint? There’ no way you’ll get a fair and impartial jury. This case should be Overturned and trown out! GO TEAM JODI!

  1026. Dear Jodi,

    I don’t understand the anger in this world these days. I pray that those whose hearts are filled with worry, revenge, hate, anger and all other negative emotional aspects will someday come to understand what things are really about and what we should be doing with the time we have on this earth.

    I know you went through something very terrible and it does not make you that terrible thing. I sense a kindred spirit in you and I look forward to sending you real mail. I have a book in my collection that is very dear to me and I would like you to have it.

    Love and light,
    BeeCee

  1027. May 24/2013

    Dear Sir or Madam:

    Again, I must respectfully point out that the use of profanity and degredating remarks to the victims family is truly uncalled for.

    Travis’s family have been through enough.

    I am not saying Travis was perfect!

    He was flawed, just as Jodi is flawed. There are no winners here. Only Victims.

    I respect the fact that there are many who are frustrated by the outcome of this trial. I also suspect that there may have been some evidence lost that may have helped Jodi’s case.

    I agree that you may feel the need to vent. If you need to do this, do it privately or at least in a respectful manner. You don’t want people to spread hatred toward Jodi on this site. Give her victims family the same courtesy. This should not be about hate or spreading and inciting hatred. I do not believe that is the intent of your website. It is supposed to be about justice & forgiveness.

    Please, for the sake of Jodi and for the sake of Travis’s family stop making disparaging remarks about him.

    This accomplishes nothing and only hurts everyone.

    You will only make Jodi look worse by doing this.

    Please do not be offened by what I am saying, I am truly trying to show support for Jodi, as I do believe there may have been many mitigating factors that lead to this horrible crime. There has been far too much hate. Lets us work towards forgivness.

    “Blessed are the Merciful, for they shall be given Mercy.”

    Regards,

    Thomas Pratt

    • Hi Thomas:

      I agree wholeheartedly with you! We should not be stooping to their level and we should be showing our support at a level higher than them! But I do understand people’s frustration!!!! There was more than sufficient doubt produced by the defense team!! Travis wasn’t an angel and I believe he did contribute to some extent for the outcome of this unforunate situation.

      But let’s show them that we have more class than they do and that we can still support Jodi in a way that does not trash Travis and his family!!!

      You can still voice your opinion, just in a classier way!!!

  1028. I am a retired member of the American Academy of Forensic Science and have served as an expert witness in a few trials. I have seen a lot of the trial on HLN and am convinced that Jodi is not getting proper justice. She commuted a terrible crime in a fit of pique, and so the Jury found. Then in the aggravation phase, the prosecutor pulled an old trick used by many corporate consultants, he held a silence for two minutes. Under the setting involved, this is intended to mislead the jury. There was also a diatribe on how much pain Travis Alexander felt. I do not believe this at all. A few years ago, I slipped on the ice while walking the dog. I fell on some rocks and broke two ribs and my collar bone. It hurt for a few seconds, but I got up, got the dog and went back in the house. The severe pain did not start until several hours later. In short, during a stressful situation, the brain mitigates the pain until the stress passes. The prosecutor mislead the Jury and the Alexander family with his question of the witness and in his summation. So I agree that Jodi is guilty of murder, but not aggravated murder. In the penalty phase, Jodi was deprived of her witnesses and gave her a allocution in that vacuum. She clearly has a more logical and less emotional mind (except for the one terrible event). As a result she has trouble getting through to people who have had their emotions agitated. I fully understand her thinking as evidenced in her allocution and media interviews. She is not leading people around by the nose, but is saying things in a high-level and not fully disclosed way. I am convinced that a sentence of 25 to life is exactly what the jury should find. Now the question is, an impartial jury be found by July 18, or will the screening process automatically eliminate the people who can be impartial, logical, and merciful.

  1029. Hi Jodi,
    I just want to tell you that I have dated guys like Travis. His deviant ways were so transparent & there is nothing worse than a womanizing pervert who hides behind religion. Makes me sick to my stomach. I saw his Myspace & you can tell just how arrogant he was by reading his “about me”. He really thought he was something special. Just like most guys like him, his friends & family see a totally different person so of course they think he’s great. He never showed them the side that he showed you, the disgusting, abusive side.
    I’m so sorry that he pushed you so far to the point of snapping & now you have to sit behind bars & suffer. I have been following the trial & I have been keeping you in my prayers. Don’t you worry, God knows the truth just like you do & Travis did. Stay strong, you have many people on your side.

  1030. A mail campaign is needed in Arizona to make sure that just about everyone is “biased” about Jodi Arias. Then seating another jury will be almost impossible.

  1031. Hi Jodi:

    Thank God someone is listening in heaven!!! All of our prayers have been answered for now!!!

    Please take the next couple of months to breath!!!! If there is any chance of an Appeal go for it!!! You don’t deserve the Murder 1 charge. Yes, what you did was horrendous…..but people don’t realize that when you go from a loving, caring person who had no previous problems with anger etc., something had to have pushed you over the edge!!! And I firmly believe that everyone has a breaking point and it affects everyone differently!!!!

    Prayers are still on going and I want everyone to write to the courts and express their anger for the court system of Arizona!!!!!

  1032. Jodi,

    Many people in American understand what you went through. It’s ok love. Many people still love you very much. Not everyone falls for the media pablum. We understand it takes two. We understand that you were mistreated.

    Your salvation lies beyond this world. It always has and it always will. God and many of us still love you.

    So move forward with your life and forgive your self as God has surely forgiven you. You are an angel that had broken wings.

  1033. I have watched this case for some time. There are many things I would like to say to you. I believe you are guilty of killing him, in self defense. People on the outside who have not been there in the private moments do not know or understand how a man can be so violent. On the outside he looks and acts like such a perfect man in a perfect world. But after that door is closed, the demon within comes alive. I do not know if chemicals were used by the two of you when together, but that would have made it worse. Treating you like an object instead of someone he loved and cherished. I do understand. Even not knowing you I can see past the mask you wear. You are very intelligent, and need no help from me, but I would like to suggest something’s. If you speak with the media, talk about you and your relationship with God or whom ever you choose to worship. IF you are truly sorry for this, say so. But say it and go on. Tell them you are sorry for the loss for Travis and all he could have been, the loss for all his family has to go through for the rest of time. Ask for mercy and forgiveness. Then tell them of things felt in your heart……stay out of your head!
    I wish I could be there but I do not live near there. I pray daily that God will open the eyes of the new jury. Please make sure to stay out of your head. It intimidates and scares them. You could be a great help to those women in prison. You know law so well you can help them with appeals. Ask for mercy and a second chance. You have to be HUMBLE and show you are human!
    Jodi I pray you will keep in touch if you are able. Please know that I am a child of God, the
    living God. Jesus Christ is my Lord. I do not agree with the language sometimes put on your site, please have them clean it up. Appearance is EVERYTHING.

    PRAYING!

  1034. I don’t even understand why 8 jurors wanted the death penalty Charles Manson is not even on death row!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Their are murderers who went on killing sprees who killed numerous people and they are not on death row. Their is a guy who killed 2 children and shot the mom and is not on death row this makes no sense AT ALL. Jodi they don’t see that something must have pushed you to your breaking point you don’t just wake up one day and do this from nothing do they not think. Your the most normal and loving person- I can tell and you wanted to be loved and you met a horrible guy who is the one to blame for all of this he is the one who pushed you to this point. Love you Jodi you have my full support I have been in your shoes with guys many times they are not right in doing this to anyone. I think if anyone is treated badly over and over they can be pushed to do anything and everyone is capable of this when your pushed into a corner with fear and abuse. Love you so much.

  1035. Stand your ground Jodi. Domestic abuse gone wrong is what this case is all about. It’s not about murder. It’s about when Push comes to shove. My oldest daughter still lives with her abusive husband. When you tell her to get out she says, “But I love him.” The only thing a parent I can do is stand back and keep my mouth shut. I can tell you that the son-in-law made me so mad I got a hammer after him. Can women tolerate the abuse to a point they strike back? You damn right they can. What you did, any woman would do if they knew they had a fair chance of coming out alive. I understand your love for Travis and how powerful of a man he was. I also have an aunt back in 1950 who couldn’t stand the beatings anymore and tied her husband to the bed after he went to sleep and beat him to death with a ball bat. What did she get? Life In prison. The judge said her husband didn’t have a chance to defend himself. Never mind that the husband was whipping her with a belt every day. I’m not saying killing the abuser is right but survival is what it all boils down to. If you get the death penalty, it defeats women’s rights against such abusers as Travis Alexander. I have my doubts that a second trial jury panel will come back with the same decision as the first. You are not guilty of murder. It was self defense. People will start changing their minds on the case after the jury members start shedding their light on the case and what made them to decide against the death penalty. You did good on the stand. Congratulations and best of luck.
    Carol

  1036. Jodi,

    I think you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen such a tragedy like this happen to. You will prevail and I love you and am not ashamed to admit it.

    -Brent

  1037. My prayers are with you Jodi. I think you are a very good person at heart. I know many othes who think the same as well. It is heart breaking that things worked out for you the way they did. You don’t deserve to have your life turn out the way it did. Hopefully , even in prison, things will turn around for you to whatever extent possible.

  1038. Jodi,

    No matter what, please keep in mind you are loved and in my prayers daily. I truly hope you can find some sense of inner peace and remember that it is always darkest before the dawn.

    BB

  1039. Jodi – Please do everything you can to get the whole trial appealed. You were NOT given a fair trial. Nancy Grace and HLN made this a trial by media and misrepresented you so terribly incorrectly. Your legal council should have done MUCH more to prove your innocence . LOVE YOU!

  1040. it’s disgusting they are pressing ahead for a new sentencing trial too much money wasted already and how they gonna find an unbiased jury ?..this is a fiasco, a circus.

  1041. Hello Team, and especially Jodi!
    Stay strong in your support and keep your chins up! It’s so difficult when the powers of media and government, federal or state, combine against individuals. You feel helpless, alone and as if the world is on your shoulders. Jodi , you’ve stood up to them and a nation of haters. Stay strong, and remember that you are not alone!
    Chris

  1042. Greetings from Canada, Jodi. Hang in!!! I feel a lot was left out of the trial and it wasn’t a fair one. Take good care of yourself in this one or two-month reprieve, eat well, sleep well, think positive thoughts, read uplifting books, exercise, have visitors whenever you can.. Amazing unexpected things can turn a horrible situation around. I’m pulling for you!! My heart goes out to you being in such a situation.

  1043. Jodi, Jodi, Jodi…….holy shit. What have you done?

    I don’t know why but I have compassion and concern for you.

    Watched your trial almost every day and hoped that the jury would see through the media bull-shit and be fair with you. Overall, I think that the outcome has been in your favor and I would have been very disappointed in our justice system if the jury had sentenced you to death.

    You can make something of yourself in prison and prove the assholes wrong.

    You should also probably tell the Alexander family that you’re sorry. That’s all you have to say…..tell them that you are sorry that you killed Travis. It would mean so much to them, Jodi. Come on….

    I am on your side. I do not know why but I believe that you did what you felt you HAD to—someday I hope that you share the whole story and free yourself—

    Yours in the quest for justice and fairness
    Barb

  1044. My dear Jodi. I am a 76 yr old grandmother/great grandmother and I am so sorry to see you were convicted of Pre meditated, first degree murder. I really don’t understand how that could have happened -especially after you were on national TV and stated so emphatically and truthfully that “No jury will ever convict me” and you can mark my words on it, “no jury will ever convict me”. How dare they. Didn’t they listen or didn’t they understand what you were saying to them for the 18 days you were on the witness stand, explaining just how it all happened. Poor darling, we feel so sorry for what your parents have to go thru, all because you weren’t perceived as telling the truth. God Bless ya.

  1045. poor poor Jodi……You DO have a few supporters and because you’ve told only the truth, you will be OK.

  1046. I hope Jodi’s lawyers are paying attention to the a pronouncement by the jury foreman that “the process is flawed” and that Jodi is getting less than true justice.

  1047. Jodi, I was so glad you gave the Alexanders no attention while they so ghoulishly did everything they could to influence the decision of the jury. The rolling eyes, the weeping on cue, the statements they made were so self serving and vindictive. I can understand their loss. That’s one thing. But to go on and on as they have done in the manner they have displayed is absolutely creepy. And it’s fairly obvious to me and others I’ve spoken to that something had to have happened in those moments to cause you to snap. You had no history of violence at all. Being degraded, debased and abused physically, mentally, and yes spiritually are all subjects that the system failed to explore properly before filing the degree one charges. I say spiritually abuse because of the way this man drew you into his world through his religion using words that were not backed up very well with actions. The type reaction that occurred is what I believe to be a passive – aggressive behavior pattern where the recipient of the abuse holds in feelings, like a dam until one day they snap and the dam breaks. I think the jury saw it at the very end. Nothing else can explain the guilty verdict then the hung verdict. That final plea by you was what made it all come home in their minds. As far as hln network, they were very unfair throughout in their coverage and used you to make a bundle of money via sponsors ads for the months this went on. They hyped this case to a place I haven’t seen before. At one point they even changed their programming schedule to gain as much as they could. The reporting was unfair and gushed at times and went on till late hours each night. The veil was opened and they were exposed for what they were. And of course Nancy Grace stated, as she always does that the same thing happened to her or someone she knows. The woman has no shame. Her ‘reporting’ is demented. How she manages to ‘relate’ to every case she covers is psychotic at best.

    Keep you head up and know there are many who saw this trial for what it is. The prosecutor was unprofessional to say the least. The judge was biased. The trial was farcical in many ways. In most court rooms the Alexanders would have been admonished for rolling their eyes. That alone is reversible error.

  1048. Can we do anything more in addition to leaving comments of support. How can we reach the people that matter in this case and let them know that killing Jodi will not accomplish anything but bring grief to her family and thousands of us that feel she is not getting justice.

  1049. Above all, I started watching videos on YouTube about you, you sure are strong. God has everything in his hands and he’s in control. I support you all the way, I do not care what people say about you.

    You are on my prayers as well as your family

    Take good care of you! and do not let any comment or whatever bother you or hurt you!!!!!

    Bless you,

    Rafael Martinez (On your side 100%%%%%%%%%%%%%) (No man shall decide if you live or die GOD has that right, just him)

  1050. Jodi you are awesome, I agree their verdict of capitol one murder was unjust, but its now time for you to relax and always make the most of everyday, I did get a t-shirt and will wear it proudly, you are a winner not a true murderer, I wish for you to have a great holiday weekend

  1051. Jodi ! You are such a brave woman !! it bothers me so much how all the media is against you.
    I understand that what you did was wrong, but I also understand you did it to defend your self, that you were under circunstances that you cant share in court ( you shared enough ).
    Im upset they charged you with first degree murder and I really cant beleive how all these haters want you to die, I just hope you get life in prision with parole, and when you are 52 ( still young) you can go out and rock the world !!!!
    I wish all the best for you girl, keep strong, keep smiling and fuck the press and the haters!!!!! xoxo

  1052. Dear Jodi,
    I hope and pray for you each day. I know you are innocent of the crime, and pray somehow the Lord will work this out. Johnm

  1053. I am blessed to find a site that is supporting Jodi Arias! By accident I came across this trial and was not aware of it here in Hawaii. As I watched I was really upset that exactly what you all have been saying was happening to Jodi! I could feel the hate that came across HLN and its commentators and started to pray for Jodi Arias!

    I started to have many questions and at one point thought if I was the only one feeling for her! But, as I started to search on the internet I am happy to have come across this TEAM JODI! Continue in your great work on her behalf!!!

  1054. Jodi,

    Just wanted you to know that you have thousands of people out here who genuinely care about you and send our best wishes to you everyday and I am one of them who hope this situation somehow has a happy ending. I am most impressed with your demeanor and composure during your interviews. You are obviously an articulate and sincere young woman and I’m proud of how you stood up to that cowardly bully wannabe from GMA who taunted you instead of conducting the interview. Thinking of you!

  1055. Jodi,

    Around 12 years ago I’m pretty certain it was you who was our server at Ventana in Big Sur and you are one of those people you come across in life who feels like someone from a previous lifetime. Just a very surreal connection. Your smile, attitude and demeanor were so uniquely pleasant and refreshing, and that experience was so positive thanks to you.

    Seeing you during your recent interviews reminds me of your demeanor back then at Ventana, which is still very positive and pleasant. You are obviously an extremely intelligent and well spoken young lady and despite what the media is promoting there are millions of people out here who identify and empathize with your situation. Forgiveness and a productive life are still yours and I’m wishing you the best. Stay strong, there are so many people like me who although have never met you feel like they have always known you and sincerely care for you.

    Scott

  1056. Jodi,
    You’ve been very strong all this time, be proud! The failure of the DA to prove the death penalty is a glimmer of sunshine that things are about to get easier! Don’t be bullied into accepting something to save his reputation now! Politics/law are bedfellows. You have more options now, please get a full explanation before agreeing to anything, if you even choose to agree to anything.
    You’re so young to be getting such a harsh experience in life, but most times people do tremendous things in life because of tragedy. Very few people are strong enough to overcome, but you have that strength. Take a deep breath and be proud that you have made it to this point.
    When it feels overwhelming, just remember that you are getting stronger for a purpose only you were meant to fill.
    Have peace in knowing that you are in the thoughts of others who support you.

  1057. Hi Jodi,
    I just wanted to show you some support and that hopefully soon you receive a break from all this. You have been through a lot and have been strong. I don’t know where you get the strength but I hope you never loose that motivation. You are beautiful and talented and you have a lot of people that support you and believe in your innocence. I”ve tried posting a comment up here before but it wasn’t posted so im giving it another attempt.

  1058. We are very sorry about your first degree murder verdict. We believe in you and we are hoping for a positive outcome.

  1059. Hi Jodi
    Stay strong don’t give up stay hopeful. You are beautiful and talented and have a lot of people supporting you.

  1060. I wish there was a way to talk to you directly to maybe serve as a pair of ears and a compassionate understanding heart so you could have a chance to let it out and maybe help you lift a weight off your shoulder. I am following you on twitter and trying to show my support there, also attempted to friend you on facebook but was not able to. I just wanted to show you support and hopefully let you know that you have people that care even if we’re strangers to you we really care and hope for your well being.

  1061. I have a question for SJ. Does Jodi have a chance to read these messages herself?

  1062. The only winner in this whole situation is HLN. The Alexander family, Jodi and her family, and those of us who support Jodi and all losers.

    Now, having made a fortune at the pain of the losers, HLN is on to the next way to make a lot of $$$.

    As I see it, HLN is conspiring to commit murder by poisoning the minds of as many participants as possible so that they can make more money. They should be on trial for their crimes. Look out George, they are now coming after you with a vengeance. I see Nancy Grace as the leader of the conspiracy.

  1063. I am behind Jodi 110% i hope she gets to live a full life even if it is behind bars, even tho she shouldnt be there either i believe she is innocent that it was self defense she was scared for herself. Anyone whos ever seen abuse first hand knows what it can do to a person… GOOD LUCK JODI

  1064. Nelson Mandela said: “seeking vengeance is like drinking poison in the hope it will kill your enemies. The message is for the prosecutor and the Alexander family.

  1065. Jodi, your new lawyers should read: the article by Brass and Haggard, Journal of Neuroscience, 2007. There is a simple version of this in the Scientific American of August 2012.

    Also, I think that the way in which lawyer Nurmy represented you. His body language and behavior towards you sent clear messages to all watching that he did not like you. This would have poisoned the minds of the jury. The lady who represented you in the last subtrial was much better. Ditch the big guy if you can.

    BTW, the 2 minutes of silence is a parlor trick used by corporate consultants. The response to it is: suppose you are just about to finish a math exam and you have two big problems to solve and three minutes left. Those minutes will flash by in what seems like seconds.

  1066. Dear Sweet Jodi,
    Always thinking for you and today I saw a car with a support sicker for you in Parker Az, 🙂
    You have people that really care Jodi and I am one of them.
    I have your postcards and will be putting them in the mail for you tomorrow,
    Hang in there sweetheart, You Are Loved!

    With Love & Faith,
    Meeshell xo-

  1067. Please click the link I am enclosing. It explains in DETAIL what happened on that horrible nite. It PROVES Jodi’s Innocense. Infact, you should post it to your website. It proves she acted in self defence. It explains every wound on Travis and that the wounds were from face to face attack. He attacked her and she defended herself, The defence did not have a knife expert in court which they should have, just like the man who wrote this article. PLEASE READ. I really hope if they go back to trial they get a KNIFE EXPERT who can show proof these wounds were from the FRONT while he was holding her down after attacking her. Someone needs to show this article to her lawers. If you had any doubt about Jodi defending herself, you wont after you read this … http://www.herrspeightsventures.com/

  1068. Jodi,
    Dont allow all the negative to hold your spirit down. Apart from your conviction, you are every girlfriend I have ever had. No different than everyone else. Who has not lied before in hopes of getting out of trouble? No one. We all have. Remember, the greatest tragedy is not when you die, but when all you love dies in you while you are living. You are accepting responsibility for your mistake, no one can ask anymore of you. “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” Despite it all, you are still you. Be yourself, express it in your art, love yourself for who you are, and understand, not everyone thinks the worse of you.

  1069. Jodi,

    As a 36-yr-old woman and a psychologist, I find you very relatable and understand how you must have felt. You & your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I truly hope you find comfort in knowing that you have many supporters who care about you and have sympathy for you. I have watched coverage of your trial from the very beginning, analyzing both side and looking beyond the facade & misrepresentations presented by the prosecution – Your relationship with Travis resembles a Greek tragedy to me. You are God’s child, a beautiful artist, & intelligent woman… The average person does not and will not ever understand you or why you made the choices you did, but do not despair. Most importantly, don’t give up, stay strong & true to yourself!

    Sincerely,
    Susan S

  1070. Hi Sweetheart,
    I sent you mail today, a postcard.
    I sure do hope that you receive it.
    I watched the mailman take it a watched from the window and I know he read it.
    (I just smiled and thought it’s 106 outside here in AZ do your job!) 🙂
    I just want you to always know that your in my deepest prayers and you are very loved by me.
    I sat outside last night and was looking at the moon and stars and I thought to myself…
    ” I hope and pray one day that you will be able to see the same moon and stars Jodi.”
    They are beautiful, as you are.
    Hang in there pretty lady!
    With All My Love,
    Meeshell xo-

  1071. Isn’t there some way Jose Baez could help Jodi on the appeal level? I think heavy emphasis should have been put on Jodi’s witness who testified that the bullet did not go through the part of the brain that controlled arm and leg movements which means if could have been fired first as per Jodi’s statements and he still could have moved and had defensive wounds. That is consistent with her self defense statements as best as I understand it.

  1072. morning all, still here for you Jodi, if anyone doesn’t understand what its like to be supportive its easy. we don’t all follow the someone who is screaming. we care about her because she is a victim as well .. if you don’t believe the other victims own words I personally pray for you because this is happening to people every day. and people are ignoring it which is why it goes on until someone unfortunately is fighting for their lives.. still believe and get it Jodi, that this is horrible and that you feel very sad for what happened with great remorse.

  1073. I’ll always be here for you Jodi, my support for you will never end.

    Praying for your appeal.

    Stay the beautiful woman you are, you’re very special. We all love you.

    xo Heather

  1074. Hi Jodi:

    please keep up your spirits.

    I have sent you some money for art supplies! I hope this lightens your spirits.

    I have also sent you an icon of the virgin Mary to watch over you!

  1075. June 5/2013

    Hi Jodi:

    Here is a prayer for you.
    May it bring you & your family some comfort.

    Prayer “Everyday I need you Lord…”

    Every day I need You Lord
    But this day especially,
    I need some extra strength
    To face what ever is to be.

    This day more than any day
    I need to feel You near,
    To fortify my courage
    And to overcome my fear.

    By myself, I cannot meet
    The challenge of the hour,
    There are times when humans help,
    But we need a higher power

    To assist us bear what must be borne,
    and so dear Lord, I pray –
    Hold on to my trembling hand
    And be near me today.
    Amen.

    Regards,

    Thomas Pratt

  1076. Dear Jodi:

    How are you today? I mailed two postcards to you yesterday. Hopefully you will get them soon. Today I wrote a poem for you. Actually, it is a Shakespearean sonnet and I wanted to give it to you. It is called “Designated Arias”.

    I wrote this new poem/sonnet for Jodi today. It is called “Designated Arias”.

    Dearest Jodi, you give so much through art,
    If only your haters had open minds.
    This would also require an open heart,
    Inside its temple the truth ye shall find.
    Your days and nights must be so very hard,
    Alone in your fortress of solitude.
    Ye shall be comforted with my postcard,
    With smiles returning and passion renewed.
    Keep fighting the good fight ’till the bell tolls,
    Believe freedom and justice will prevail.
    You will not be condemned with the lost souls,
    Angels of mercy will free you from jail.
    O, thou art my muse for what it is worth,
    With an angel’s love and chance for rebirth.

  1077. Dear Jodi,

    At first, I was outraged and I thought you were 100% guilty. After some time following the trial, I changed my mind even though HLN continued to do their terrible reporting and network sensationalism. I found all your interviews to be sincere and even your interrogations sincere…. You might have been coerced by Flores in coming up with a story because you really didn’t remember what happened and you needed a “story” to protect your life. And when you saw exhibit 205 for the first time, that was a look beyond “morbid curiosity”… that was a look of shock, terror and mental dissociation.

    June 4 should be a day of mourning and of forgiveness. No one came out a winner. Calling June 4 a day of celebration is poison for the soul.

    You have mail coming that I hope will bring light to your day.

    Love,
    Leah

  1078. Jodi, you are so beautiful. You did what none of us could. I wish I was half as strong as you. I envy you for your bravery. I wish I had it..
    Much love from Mississippi! I’ll write you soon !

  1079. Hi

    I am not against you in any way. I do not know if this will get to you. I watched a LITTLE testimony and that was all I needed. Any person can be driven to do anything, I believe in your heart you are full of love. I wish my love to you. I know we will never meet (I could never afford it, and you I doubt would want to meet me. But I wish you all the best. I am 55 and disabled and I watched how these reporter talked about you without walking in your shoes. I support you. I can’t do it financially, but I carry you in my heat. God bless you, hang in there, God still does miracles.

    Your friend,

    Mark Goodwin

  1080. What is going to be done regarding the jurors’ accessing the Internet during Jodi’s trial? Case in point, that bitch Tara Harris Kelley, juror #17, posting on Facebook??? Is this going to be investigated at all?

  1081. The Jodi Arias trial is headed for a conclusion, probably by this Fall. At this point, a key question is: what are the options and what are the outcomes that are likely from these options? The first option is that the second jury finds for life imprisonment. The second option is that they find for death. The third is that the prosecutor agrees to natural life in exchange for death. The fourth is that the second jury deadlocks and the judge sentences to life in prison. It is instructive to explore each of these and their implications for the various parties.
    If the second jury finds for life in prison, then so it will be. The chances of any successful legal challenges at that point are vanishingly low. The winners in this situation are the Jury members and Jodi’s family. Jodi sort of likes this outcome, but as the years drag on, the restrictive life she will live will close in on her and it will be a living hell. In the out years, she get fewer and fewer visitors, and her life will empty except for the taunts of the other, shorter term prisoners. With a bit of luck she will get to do some of the training of others work she wants to do, but this will less than really a fulfilling life. The Alexander family will be sad at first since they are seeking pure vengeance at this point in time. But over the years, Jodi will fade into obscurity, and the angst will dissipate. The prosecutor will not get the notch on his political gun, but that will soon be forgotten as well. The judge will be done with this agony and move on to, hopefully, more morally just proceedings. Basically, there are no long term losers except Jodi and the prosecutor.
    In the second option, the second jury finds for death. This is a situation has only one winner, the prosecutor. All others, in the long run, are losers. The prosecutor gets a notch in his political gun, but that is about all. The judge is faced with ten years or so of appeals and having her record questioned in excruciating detail. Jodi will continue to live with a sword over her head and in extra tight condition for some 10 years or so. The Alexander family with have a moment of happiness in their vengeance, when the sentence is announced, but then they too will be plagued by a decade of appeals. If the appeals are unsuccessful, as happens in 1/3 of cases nationwide, Jodi will be out of her misery and many years of grief will be the outcome for all but a very few participants. The most of the jurors will suffer guilt and try to rationalize it away. There will be extra grief for the Arias family, and the joy experienced by the Alexander will fade rapidly. Whether Jodi is in prison or dead, Travis will not come home. This outcome is not satisfying to anyone. The result would be contrary to outcomes in many other cases: OJ got off Scott free, the doctor that killed babies, and Jeffry Dahmler got life imprisonments, as did the Manson clan. Jodi will be one of very small percent of prisoners actually put to death. The trail will live on as a miscarriage of true justice – all legal, but a miscarriage of moral justice none the less. More and more states are getting rid of the death penalty. It is expensive and no one wins. Nelson Mandela said, “a person seeking vengeance is going to drink poison in the hope that it will kill his enemies”. They may dance on her grave, but it will not bring back Travis and the poison will not kill the enemies, it will bother them for years to come. The only real winner here is the prosecutor. Even the citizens of Arizona will lose as they will pay a very large fee to go ahead with this plan.
    If the prosecutor allows natural life for Jodi in exchange for death, there are no winners. The Alexander family might be a bit miffed at first, but that will soon wear off as they get on with their lives. The Arias family will lose as their family member suffers an interminably miserable life. Jodi is the big loser in this situation. She will exist as a non-entity till she dies a natural death in prison. She will have nothing to live for and have no way to end it all that she can control. If she is successful in being able to do some teaching in prison, her students will be winners. The people of Arizona will save millions of tax dollars.
    In the fourth case, the second jury deadlocks as the first did. This is the best alternative of all. Jodi will in for a very long time in prison, but she can hope for a release after 25 years, or so. This may or may not occur, but at least she will have that to hope for. The Alexander family will be a bit miffed at first, but they will soon get over that as they get on with their lives. Whether Jodi is dead or locked away in pain has really no long term effect on them. It will hurt the Arias family more. Students that Jodi might help in prison will benefit from a teacher who has reason to help them beyond charity. The judge is free of this whole mess, and the prosecutor will not have a trophy to hang on his wall. But it is very sure that he will find another.
    So in conclusion the best outcome for the most people with hearts is that the second jury deadlocks. The worst is that they find for death.
    There are some people who think that life in prison is not a terrible thing. They are decidedly wrong. The prisoner has virtually no privacy. There are no chances to walk in a park, ride in a car, go to a store, or any other of the things that those of us who are free take for granted. Most of the time, when she is taken out of her cell, she will be put in chains and taken along like a dog on a short leash. In most situations she will have hardly any friends. Remember that prisoners from gangs, verbally and physically abuse each other. Most of the people in prisons are not people you want to meet, nor befriend. She will have very limited ability to know what is happening in the world at large. She will have many years to fret alone about the bad and silly things she did. As the years go by fewer and fewer people will come to visit her as they age, or die. Loneliness and regret will be her constant companions. She will have virtually no free will.

    • So Sad! Pray, pray, pray for Jodi! I don’t think anyone can forget this trial! SO sad!

  1082. keep doin your thing jodi, ( i will be gettin a tshirt at least) & preppin 4 retrial have more domestic violence experts at your trial. peace to you. amen.

  1083. Does anyone know how I can reach Jodi’s lawyers? I’ve got something constructive to tell them

  1084. Jodi I was in a situation so similar to yours..and I’m still not out of it. He still hasn’t left me alone, the threats increase and what I wish is that people could truly understand the amount of pressure someone can put on you..whether it’s a male or female, in my case a male..manipulation and abuse become normal..and even worse they keep it secret..but what you should understand..my mother used to tell me this..GOD SEE’S EVERYTHING..every evil deed done to you..It’s a shame our mistakes can play out in real life and for all to see,and their abuse stays quiet but there is life beyond that and what we experience..No one should be condemning you, they should be helping you..I am sorry no one intervened to help you..and be there..maybe things would be different.. people do care about you, people that aren’t so shallow or thick they believe everything in the media..ive prayed for you..and mostly i always hope that you find yourself or some peace and you stay strong..and lastly you are still beautiful..dont let anyone tell you any different

  1085. I just sent this as a postcard to JA, following all the requirements listed on this site. I hope it gets through and provides a bit of help to her mind.

    Dear Ms Arias
    I am writing to let you know that because of your ability to face a horrible situation, I will step out of retirement to help others avoid the legal, but morally unjust experience you have suffered. I am a former forensic scientist, former member of the American Academy of Forensic Science, served on committees at the Nat’l Inst of Justice, the FBI, and the Dept of Commerce. I have been an expert witness at trials and an advisor to several other lawyers engaged in litigation. I have co authored two text books on forensic imaging, and several technical articles. But because of you, I am expecting to join a clinic at the local law school to help others unfamiliar with the criminal justice system to better navigate a path to moral and legal justice – which you have been denied. I also expect to be named to a statewide panel to develop new laws to avoid what are now legal but immoral processes. Please know that your courage will lead to better lives for others in the future. If I had my way, I would call it the “Jodi Arias Clinic for Youthful Suspects”. God speed, JAA. If you and your lawyers think it will help, feel free to read this to the Jury to let them know you are doing good things already, with more to come!
    If you can, please let me know if you receive this.

    • Thank you for doing what you can to help Jodi. She apparently needs someone in the legal profession to help. Bless you for caring!

  1086. June 11/2013

    Hi Jodi:

    Here is a prayer for you!

    Lord, Please hear our prayers. Please watch over those we love who are in jail, touch their souls while they are there, give them insight into Your ways, so that they may learn and grow. Give them a desire to seek you and break whatever chains of the past that binds them and give them HOPE to know you have a BETTER plan. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

  1087. Jodi:
    I am a Forensic Anthropologist with specialty in Pathology & Forensic Behavioural Analyst.
    I created a blog site just to publish my independent review of the evidence on your case.
    There is no way that you are the perpetrator of this crime!
    Please review what I have posted on my site.

    Stay strong Jodi!

    You are in my prayers Always.

  1088. I sent a postcard to the Estrella Jail, per the instructions, but now find out that she has been moved to a new location. Will my postcard get through to her, and if not, does anyone the new address?

  1089. Another case of injustice in Indiana. I think of Indiana as a blood red state, now lest see how AZ stacks up. You stay on your course and God give you continued strength. As a trial witness, I learned to no answer lawyers questions too fast when testifying. I even told the judge that the question was misleading, ambiguous, or inappropriate when that was the case. Usually the judge will straighten out. If not, the lawyer that had called me to the stand would do so on redirect. I even worked out such hand signals with the lawyer that called me indicating that even though the opposing counsel imposed a yes or no response, on redirect I was free to show the error of the question as posed.

    From Local news:

    Paula Cooper was 16 when she was sentenced to death for killing an elderly Bible study teacher.
    That made the Gary teen the youngest person ever in Indiana to face the death penalty. At the time in 1986, she also was the youngest Death Row inmate in the United States.
    To many, Cooper was a monster beyond rehabilitation. But others saw her as a victim of an abusive childhood and racist criminal justice system.
    A legal challenge and international campaign to overturn her death sentence, which included an appeal from Pope John Paul II, saved Cooper’s life.
    The Indiana Supreme Court commuted the death sentence in 1989 and sent her to prison for 60 years. For the past 24 years, she has lived in relative obscurity.
    On Monday, Cooper will try to put all of that behind her when she walks out of the Rockville Correctional Facility.
    It will be the 43-year-old’s first taste of freedom since her arrest in 1985.
    Cooper was 15 when she was charged with murder in the grisly stabbing of 78-year-old Ruth Pelke during a robbery. Three other co-defendants — also teenage girls at the time — went to prison, but have been released.
    Where Cooper will go and what she plans to do remain unclear. She did not respond to an interview request from The Star.
    What is known is that she will leave prison with at least $75, a new outfit provided by the state and a bachelor’s degree, according to DOC spokesman Douglas S. Garrison.
    Cooper also is walking away with other baggage: A hard-to-shake notoriety as a heartless killer.
    Differing views
    Time has changed the way some view Cooper, including a grandson of her victim and the prosecutor who tried to send her to Indiana’s electric chair.
    But for many others, her name continues to elicit memories of the brutal murder.
    “People still know about this case,” said Indianapolis attorney Jack Crawford, who was the Lake County prosecutor when Cooper was charged and convicted. “The name Paula Cooper still resonates, and she’s going to attract some attention when she is released.”

    Written by Tim Evans of the Indianapolis Star newspaper

  1090. Jodi…you are a scapegoat. Men now, and have since they discovered the ability to rule over each other by force, been the ‘important’ human beings in this world. There is no end to what people who haven’t been through what you have been through. I have PTSD as well. PLEASE PLEASE remember – this isn’t something you ‘got’ or ‘caught’ – this HAPPENED TO YOU. Everything you are going through is because you went through a Traumatic, Stressful event that caused this Disorder. This wasn’t something that you actively hunted for. You responded the only way you knew how.

    You are innocent. Unfortunately, you’ve been made a scapegoat by 1) a state that is jacked up in many ways, 2) a man on your team you do not like, 3) people not listening to YOU and doing the things YOU want done in YOUR trial and 4) the media who loves nothing more than a good storyline for 5 and 10 pm.

    Be strong. I want to write you. I know you get tons of mail, but remember…THIS HAPPENED TO YOU. You didn’t cause it. Travis did. And I so understand the feelings you have toward him. It’s been almost 20 years since the one in my head and heart did the unthinkable to me and my family, and there are still days when I think I still love him. Remember the good things, treasure those, and let the bad fall away. You are innocent.

    xoxo

  1091. Jodi, here is reason for hope. Paula Cooper sentenced to death at age 16 in the slaying of an elderly woman has been released from prison in Indiana. Her sentenced was commuted to 60 years because the State decided that minors could not be sentenced to death. Then she did what you said you would do in your allocation. While in prison, she studied and got two degrees, and she became a tutor to other, less educated prisoners. Her behavior was good and now she is a free woman!

  1092. Amen to all the above…especially stating the creed and the distasteful bullshit that HLN is making off of this women Jodi that all she was doing was protecting herself..That so called Dr.Drew he`s as much of a dr. as I am..an I am an not..he is hateful along with Nancy Grace and that Mitchel drunk..how sad to make blood money but that’s all there ever into these days..and for the Alexanders how nasty are they it doesn`t have to be ugly simply because your loud mouth midget prosecutor lost

  1093. Dear Miss Arias, I hope you can stay strong through your ordeal and the ones yet to come. I have a son and a daughter, both with late stage cancer. They are only a few years older than you so I can sympathize with your family, and to some extent with you. I hope you are given the strength to stay strong, and find a best way out of the current nightmare.

  1094. Jodi,
    I would just like to say that you are wayyy prettier than the girl playing you in your movie. <3

  1095. I think Jodi is very capable and should not have to spend the rest of her life in jail, let alone be killed. It is so unfortunate that the media has taken over this case with their ignorace. I support Jodi and hope she not only avoids the death penalty but is able to become FREE someday! Screw the haters their bored, only ugly people sit on computer and bash people all day long — there may be a lot of haters, but there are also a lot of supporters!!!! TEAM JODI!

  1096. All that I can say is this:

    From the official CNN Transcripts of the conversation between Jodi and Travis…remember Travis was the one who initiated the conversation and not Jodi.

    Jodi sounded like a 12 year old little girl having her first orgasm.
    Travis thought her moans were hot.

    Travis enjoyed jerking off to the notion of raping Jodi sometimes up to three times a day.

    Not only is Travis a pedophile based upon the clinical definition of what a pedophile is Travis is also a rapist based upon his own words.

    Pedophile and rape in the same conversation or any conversation that can be proved to have taken place which in this case the conversation has been means only one thing.

    Travis was a very abusive person towards Jodi both mentally, physically and sexually.

    Rapists are always mentally, physically and sexually abusive towards their victims and along with the dash of pedophilia Travis did have a very dark side that he once again proves as having from the sentence that from his own blog where he states that he is fearful of meeting a women with a penned up axe murderer inside of her where she viewed Travis as having a penned up axe murderer inside of him.

    A penned up axe murderer in this case means that since Travis had the sexual desires that he did of wanting to rape Jodi and Travis thinking that Jodi sounding like a twelve year old little girl having her first orgasm that he thought was sexually arousing means that on the night in question Travis did in fact most likely rape Jodi after which Jodi then defended herself and killed Travis.

    In all pedophile and rape cases the main goal of the predator, in this case Travis, is to exact their absolute control over the victim. All abuser’s use some type of abuse, emotional, mentally, physical or sexual to make their victim adhere to their desires.

    In this case Travis’ abuse stem from being a pedophile and a rapist.

    if Travis was not this type of person then he would never have made the comments that he did to Jodi which Jodi then recorded for use evidence later on.

    Jodi made have done something heinous but what she did is being used to cover up who Travis really was and how the Travis caused the events of the that night to take place.

    Not once do we ever hear anything…not once….in Jodi’s past about Jodi engaging in the lifestyle that she did until she met Travis where Travis not being able to let go of someone who he could control to fulfill his desires caused Travis to continue to stalk and harass Jodi.

    Not once with any other woman in Travis life do we hear anything…not once in Travis’ past about Travis engaging in the lifestyle the he did until he met Jodi because Travis knew that he break down Jodi’s sexual barriers because she wasn’t as educated as the rest of the women he dated so he could control Jodi to engage in the sexual desires that we hear on the recorded conversation between Travis and Jodi.

    In my opinion Jodi was merely defending herself against a rapist and a pedophile. The facts are there to back my claims up that Travis could have raped and abused Jodi that night whereas the facts of Jodi not engaging in such acts until she met Travis are also provable which all leads to one conclusion. That Travis Alexander escalated the situation with Jodi because he was a sexual predator where Jodi defended herself that night against her attacker.

  1097. I have written a letter to Ms Willmott listing several specific areas where the prosecutor essentially testified to the jury in order to mislead them. I also pointed out where the prosecutors ad-libs are erroneous and how his arguments can be countered. I hope she is able to find it in her full mailbox and hope that some of use can be made of these. Godspeed, JAA.

  1098. Jodi-

    God bless you and your family. You are so strong, and have been through so much. I have been through an abusive relationship before, and I’ve been through some of the same things that you were put through by Travis. Although, my situation didn’t end as tragically, If I would of been in a situation where I had to defend my life, I would have. Stay positive and never lose faith!!! God loves you and is there for you, and so are a lot of other people:)))

  1099. Jodi, I have been following what has been going on and I am on your side. Men can be so cruel and people can only take so much. Stay strong. There are others out there who are on your side and I hope to hear you DO NOT get the death penalty. You do not deserve what has and is happening to you. Stay strong.

  1100. This lifetime. Movie is awfully making her lok bad and him lookin innocent. And he is so nit! Big deal he was a ducking mormon whatever. He played her

  1101. Jodi,

    A beautiful girl…in a messy situation. As much as I am against murder in any form or thing, I think you deserve a second chance. Because, the truth is, no one is perfect. You are a young, and beautiful, and have talent. It shouldn’t be wasted on the wrong things such as this. I know somewhere inside of you, you have that heart…if you could only let it out and just be free. I, along with many other supports, stand firmly on the ground and protest for your freedom. I do not know how had this come about, but to be honest, Travis does not seem like a “perfect little angel” himself. As much a I respect him for being deceased, he still seems like a total douche who shouldn’t have even treated a girl like you the way he did. It is no excuse for him and def. not a single piece of justice in persecuting you in this poor manner along with such a crappy trail, stupid ugly juries, and abusive authorities. Chains all over you, embarrassing prison outfits, and brutally pushing you around? Where in the hell is the REAL justice? You aren’t Charles freaken’ Manson! Everyone seems to be so biased and on the theory on “poke this” and “poke that”…it’s a sick dog eat dog mad trail that shall be put to an end once and for all ad prove that you, Jodi Arias, should rightfully be free! No stupid death sentence, and not a damn life sentence. No bullshit. Freedom. You deserve it like all of us truly do. In finale, I say, FREE HER.

  1102. Dear Jodi,
    We hope you’re okay. We’re sending lots of prayers and hugs your way. We’ve never met but I feel as though we know each other, I wish we had met. I would’ve helped you to get away from him. I’m not sure if anyone even tried to help you,sad.
    Much love,
    Mijo

  1103. I have written a letter in support of you to lawyer Willmott. It spells out specific abuses made by the prosecutor – along with ways to debunk his overstatements. I think many others might send the same of similar letters. I hope she will read these. I will continue to try to help you since I believe you have not gotten legitimate justice and have shown great courage through a terrible ordeal. I hope you can keep it up. My best to your family as well.

  1104. OH an that movie making out that Jodi was obsessed with Travis unless they were talking to Travis there is not way of proving all that..and the way he was killed forget it unless Travis was talking…and that didn`t happen…Just another guessing game just like the rat asshole JM put on his case against Jodi and that Judge Pickle should be prosecuted for what she didn`t do to protect Jodi`s witness…that’s a crime all in its own..this next trial had better be sure they want to start prosecuting Jodi again for the death penalty.she will be found not guilty as she was protecting herself that’s why all the struggle and injuries on Travis she was fighting for her life…..

  1105. Can you tell Jodi I said hello (David Ramirez)? She will know who I am. Thank you.

  1106. The girl starring in your lifetime movie wasn’t half as clever or beautiful as you..and it’s funny they made him out to be so fearful of you and whatnot, yet why would you invite a girl to stay the night if you were afraid of her? his story changed every second, he would be one way with you and then different in front of his friends..he lead you on,I feel so bad you didn’t realize there was so much out there..maybe you know now..you are better than how he treated you..i wish you would have realized sooner that he was no good..you have had a hard life i can tell..im sorry for all that you have seen..i hope you are still positive..never give up,,people care about you..im on your side jodi! you are a mystery to most but not me im younger than you, but a lady too..and i know how men are..my heart goes out to you..

  1107. Jodi, You are so strong, I am so sorry. I just cried when I saw you on trial. I feel the pain and the hatred. There are many of us supporting you though so dont give up yet. Team Jodi all the way.

  1108. Hey Jodi! It’s Josh C! we went to Patterson Rd school together..I’m totally sorry on how things turned out for you. Your always in my prayers! much love! P.s write me if you can !

  1109. jodi, u are one of my heroes. so many women are abused by their boyfriends/husbands. you did what so many of us think about doing but dont have the balls to do. men these days need to realize that women deserve to be treated with respect and that anyone will eventually snap under certain conditions. no one deserves to be treated like a piece of ass. i watched the lifetime movie about you last night and it just yanked on my heart-strings. i feel for you and hope they do not give you the death penalty. i would love to have you as a pen pal and friend. people need to be forgiving towards you and realize that love makes us do crazy things. im sorry you’re in prison. you dont deserve it and you definately dont deserve to die. thank god for you. you are a martyr.

  1110. I am definetely team Jodi. My boyfriend and i think about her all the time and feel so bad for what she must be going through. Any idiot can see she just wanted to be loved by Travis. She probly saw a future with him and he turns around and uses and abuses her. Nobody deserves to die like that but she snapped because of what he put her through. It’s so painfully obvious that he wasn’t good to her. Even the movie showed that. I hope and pray she is victorious. I believe that if i got to know her that we could be good friends. She seems like such a warm and caring person.

  1111. Go Jodi!
    We’re rooting for you!
    You’re very brave to stand up to that child molester Travis and kick his unappreciative ungrateful and obnoxious ass.
    You deserve to be treated like a queen!
    I hope you’ll be released.
    If I had been on the jury I would have voted for not guilty by reason of self-defense!

  1112. Dear Jodi:
    I know what its like to do a long stretch of time in prison. and many things were said to me to help me get thru..” you cant do your time outside the walls” There will be some really good people inside, you have to chose your “car” well, try to stay in good physical shape, its good for the mind as well as the body. If you need support or just good inside advice feel free to email,, if you have a way to do that,.

    Hi Jodi:

    I doubt very much you have recieved any of the postcards or letters sent.
    I do hope you are well and keeping up your spirits.
    Praying that you will be spared.

    Did you recieve the icon I sent?

    Doubt that too, but I thought it was worth a try.

    regards,

    Thomas Pratt

  1114. Dear Jodi,

    I understand when you love aperson and they do not give you that love back you try to figure out what you are doing wrong. You are a beautiful, intelligent young woman. I know that you felt used and betrayed by the man that you loved. I am so sorry the way things turned out for you! You are in my thoughts and prayers and my heart goes out to you.

  1115. I contacted an independent ME who might be willing to review the work of the State ME and sent the contact info to @inconvenientTr1. Of particular interest is the overblown words of the prosecutor in the aggravation and penalty phases and the naive opinions of the State’s ME.

    • I hope you can help Jodi. I will pray for your children too.
      May God bless you and your family. Stay strong Jodi.

  1116. Dear Jodi,
    I hope this fines you well.I hope you win your case .I would love to hear from you.
    Your Friend , Harold

  1117. Stay strong Jodi.
    I am on your side.
    Thinking of you every day….can’t believe everything they saying about you…:(

    lots of love from germany. ♥
    Jill-Francis

  1118. There are so many people behind you. It saddens me to know that such a wonderful and loving woman is being treated this way. If only you could have met me first this would have never have happened to you. Such a passionate woman should be treasured.

  1119. Jodi,
    I watched the entire trial every day and can’t help but feel so bad about what has happened to your life. The only two people who truly know what happened are Travis and yourself. It must be terrible to be screaming what happened only to be convicted regardless of the facts. My ex husband abused me physically and verbally and I hoped and I thank my lucky stars that I got out when I did. Please keep your head up and continue your fight.

    Hugs!
    Melissa

  1120. Still here and praying for you everyday. I’m sure you are in so many peoples prayers. Don’t get discouraged. Stay strong and try to be positive. Praying for your freedom!!!!!!

  1121. dear Jodi, i’m still praying for you a lot of supporters are, i’m one from the beginning. take care and stay strong you are in my prayers keep showing that beautiful smile of yours I can’t forget, god bless you.

  1122. God Bless You I hope you be free someday and we can hang out and watch some tv I love Jodi and I know she is innocent.

  1123. Jodi, after watching the lifetime movie on your situation I can honestly say it’s understandable how you was emotionally pushed over the edge. Men toy with women feelings and our hearts, as well as some women who does it to men, but regardless of whose doing the toying around they are setting themselves up for whatever comes out of their immature, thoughtless action of making the other person feel used and worthless…I myself had gotten to a point in a past relationship when I could visualize setting him on fire…he moved in with me and after nine months he tells me he just got of a marriage and we should take it slow, all this after he had used my vehicle to meet another woman out of town and I ironed all of his clothes for him before packing because he had told me he was up for recertification at his job and the company was in fact in the state he traveled to to meet this other woman. I never prayed so often in my life to ask god to save me from myself from killing him, I treated him with the utmost respect and basically catered to him and loved him, why?, because his actions and things we would do, places we would go together is done when two people are dating and potentially leading up to marriage. not only my praying saved me, I have kids and the ideal of them growing up without me kept me focus on my life. it’s easy for others to see you as a supposedly bad person only because the person that mistreated you became the victim but the emotional rollercoaster he put you through is just as bad if he himself had shot you in the head. no one person pain is greater than the other and I don’t mean to sound heartless but it’s hard to feel sympathy for travis. Emotions are dangerous that’s why people should think of the consequences before jerking someone around. I’m so sorry you traded your life for prison life but it is what it is now but make sure you hold your head up you have many people supporting you..

  1124. “Courage isn’t having the strength to go on, it is going on when you don’t have strength.”
    -Napoleon Bonaparte

    – be good girl.

  1125. I believe in my heart that Jodi is innocent, I hate that justice isn’t being done. She seems like the sweetest person in the world I would hate to see her getting senteced for something she didn’t do. I hope the day comes when she is proven innocent. Hopefully before it’s too late. We love you Jodi

  1126. Team Jodi members need to read MissPajamaGirl.wordpress.com. It is a very interesting take on all of this and we need to get it out as soon as possible. Spread the word and pray.

    • I like her blog but I do not buy that travis was dead and brought back to his home. I don’t think there was any evidence of that in the forensics. But, if a person believes that travis was murdered by way of a ritual killing, that blog does have the best information for that angle.

    • The most important parts of the MissPajamaGirl site is that it shows that the forensic investigators at the scene and the medical examiner did some shoddy work. An independent ME could be brought in to bring this to the fore. It would play heavily on the “testimony” of Martinez during the Aggravation phase and the Penalty phase that follows from it. These would take the death sentence off the table. However, in order to bring this to the courts attention it needs to come from Jodi, her family and through her lawyers. Others do not have standing in the case. I know an outstanding ME who would consider doing the review of the states ME and the associated testimony, but for justice to prevail, Nurmi or Willmott would have to invite him in.

      • I wish I had the power to get them to listen but I’m not close to anyone involved. I have felt Jodi was defending herself from Travis from the very beginning. It is so apparent to me and I do not understand why her attorneys can’t do something about it. This whole trial has been so frustrating to watch unfold! Jodi’s family should pursue all of the issues that have been so obvious to the rest of us. I hope that you will be able to find someone to listen. I hope that Jodi is able to read all that is being done for her. Surely her attorneys are keeping up with this site. I will continue to pray for Jodi and her family and also your family. It is so sad to think of her in jail. SO SAD

  1127. It appears that Jodi’s attorneys could have had several ways to go to defend her. Not sure what happened but if a high profile attorney would some how become interested in the case, Jodi might have a chance. I don’t care how it happens, I would just like to see her get the fair trial she deserves.. .not one to promote a News network. It makes me sad for her and her family. Just wonder if MissPajamaGirl is right. We might never find out the truth. I will keep praying. Stay Strong Jodi!

  1128. ♫♪ Happy, HAPPY Birthday, sweet Jodi! I am so sorry you are spending it where you are. I am praying every single day that someday the truth comes out and you are free again. Until then, know you are very loved and supported by many of us, and will be for the LONG HAUL!

    ♥ JODI ♥

  1129. Happy Birthday, Jodi! I admire your courage and dignity you have shown throughout this whole terrible ordeal. I think of you every day. I’m hoping one day you will be set free. Wishing you all the best! ♥

  1130. JODI hoping you are having the best birthday as possible. We all know where you are spending it. You have captured the attention and hearts of us in southern Indiana, who truly love and support you. We know how much of a rotten deal your were dealt. Don’t ever give up we all love and support you and your family.HAPPY BIRTHDAY JODI!

    • First of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY JODI !!!!!!!
      2nd…my husband and I went to a walmart in Wi and purchased an item on our debit card only to get it home and find it did not work so the next day we went to customer service and returned it and the customer service rep asked if we wanted it put back on our card or did we want cash…….so the rep they had on the stand for Jodi lied ….they do give cash for returns on a debit card…..PLEASE…..OH PLEASE….tell me there will be an appeal after the finally decision is made for Jodi’s fate…..Chad Perkins knew Travis was a pedophile he posted it to Travis on Travis’s MY SPACE..since Travis is dead it has never been cancelled…..Chris and Sky should be prosecuted for purgery. This whole thing was a circus and Martinez was the ringmaster…good luck Jodi…..keep fighting

      • I don’t think she lied so much as she works for a company and had to talk about procedure not error. Nurmi could have asked about human error but for some reason chose not too. Everyone knows Walmart makes mistakes like that. Even Jean C discussed that. Chad Perkins comment was baffling wasn’t it?

        • After reading what Chad Perkins wrote to Travis….I emailed Jodi’s attorneys…..why didn’t they put him on the stand…..why didn’t they look into things and prove that Travis was a pedophile and a sexual deviant? Jodi doesn’t deserve life in prison, nor does she deserve death….she has paid for what she did by having to replay it in her mind every day….by having to get on the stand and have JM tear her apart. I pray for a miracle to help her….or at least lawyers that will do some ground work and fight for her and her rights. Hang in there Jodi…keep fighting!

          • He would have to cooperate though and i doubt he would. As much as people say IP’s are everything all he would have to say I didnt say that, someone used my Myspace or what i was said was a joke. Had he left a ton of comments on there it may have been different. You know what I mean?

  1131. July 11/2013

    Dear MB, Team Jodi:

    For the most part I agree with todays comments about the fact that Jodi was physically abused.

    The problem is that we are just voicing an opinion.

    Based on the tapes presented if we take them at face value it sounds like Travis had some serious problems.

    The difficulty is that the tapes work for & against the defence.

    Unfortunately, if we are to take the tapes at face value, then we also have to admit that it sounds like Jodi was a willing partner. If we go by this premise, than as far as the prosecution is concerned Jodi was not abused.

    What the defense needs to prove is that Jodi was psycologically held hostage in that she did not wish to participate in the sex games, but only went along with it to please Travis.

    Since, as far as we know there are no official complaints of abuse filed with the police by Jodi, than the Jury listening to the case has no alternative, but to assume is was a willing partner.

    I am not saying she was not abused, just that it is very difficult to prove.

    We also have the added problem of Jodi not always telling the truth. Again, She maybe truthful that Travis abused her, but her credibility has been badly damaged.

    The defense needs to look for a different stratagey and or find some proof that Travis was abusive if she is to prove self defense.

    Hopefully, they can find some independant, credible psycologists to conduct further tests.

    I pray for Travis, his family and Jodi and her friends & family.

    They are all victims in my opinion. There are no winners here. Just the media that is making mountains of money as a result of this trial.

    I also think that HLN, needs to act more responsibly and with much more sensativity if they are going to televise cases such as this.

    They are in my opinion irresponsible. Never convict a person, before they have had their fair trial otherwise no one recieves justice.

    In my opinion the biggest criminals are the yellow journalists covering this story as they are just compounding this terrible tragedy.

    I do hope Jodi can eventually find some good evidence to prove what she has been saying all along and that she can recieve a much more leniant sentence.

    It is all bread & circuses.

    KIndest regards,

    Thomas Pratt

    • Hi Thomas, thanks for adding your thoughts.

      I disagree, it is not just my opinion that Jodi is an abused woman. It is also the opinion of two doctors and a family therapist; all in the top in their field here in the United States. Alyce LaViolette is legendary, Dr Geffnor holds three PHDs and Dr Samuels is in the top 5% of his field. That’s not counting the mountain of evidence shown in court with the text messages, the phone sex tape, and Jodi’s broken finger.

      So, let me ask, what would it take to prove that a woman has been abused? Does a woman need a video tape of it? The only time I heard of a woman documenting her abuse is when she already knew she was a goner. Most women in fact do not take pictures or go to the police until the relationship has gotten so dangerous she has no other alternative.

      Just because Jodi lied to the police, does not mean her credibility is gone forever. Everyone has lied at some point in their lives, and if someone says they have never lied then that is the biggest lie of all. Just ask the Alexander family. They’ve lied to police and impersonated each other for lesser crimes; so how you can hold it against Jodi for lying about stabbing her boyfriend in self defense? Can you imagine going through something that horrible and feeling so ashamed that you can’t be forthcoming? If people can’t be expected to be forthcoming about lesser drug charges how can we expect people to tell the truth if they killed someone – in self defense no less?

      I agree with you about the yellow journalism. The problem is, until someone files a lawsuit big enough; HLN and the rest of the lamestream media is going to keep beating the drums of public outrage to bankroll their ratings. People will either have to stop watching them all together or find a way to shut them down via the law or a hefty financial compensation for the next poor sap that falls victim to their persecution. As much as I hope that will happen, I also know that the lynch mob is horribly addicted to hating people and look to the media to find their next target. They’re like sheeple, but with fangs. They do not know how, nor do they want to think for themselves; they just want to taste blood (preferably female, abused, and wrongly convicted). Like any abuser, they want someone to use as their emotional toilet. Yes that goes for the women too.

      • July 12/2013

        Dear Sir or Madam:

        Thank you for taking the time to respond to my comments.

        I thought I should probably clarify a key point.

        I am not saying that Jodi was not abused, I am saying that sadly the evidence provided does not prove, in my humble opinion that she was abused.

        I am assuming the role of devils advocate if you will.

        To a layman, such as myself, who is not a doctor or therapist I have to pretty much go on what I have witnessed based on the evidence provided.

        Unfortunately the tapes taken at face value do not work in Jodi’s favour.
        One has to read between the lines and speculate. It could be that when Jodi is agreeing with Travis and complimenting him on his imaginativness in terms of role play, that she was simply trying to please him.

        I have no doubt that she loved Travis and wanted the relationship to work, which is probably why she sounds in favour of what he wants to do.

        The big issue about the tape that concerns me is Travis reference to comparing Jodi to a 12 year old. On one hand a person might think he is just role playing on the other it could be interpreted as something far more sinister. Unfortunately Travis is not here to refute or support the accusation.

        As a result, the jury has to try to sift through, who is more credible. The problem is that both parties have issues. This makes it difficult to decide which of the two were the most volitile in the relationship.

        Forgive me! I am not trying to intimate that Jodi is quilty of any diabolical planning. I am just saying that the defense has an uphill battle without realy strong supportive evidence.

        I also would agree that it is human nature for all of us to lie from time to time. Not one of us is perfect. Certainly not me. It is just that the jury can really only base it’s decision on hard evidence once the credibilty of the accused has been tarnished.

        As for the psycologist that did her inital assesment, while he may have many years of experiance and may be very good at his job, the prosecution made mincemeat of his testimony as it was very clear he came to court unprepaired.

        If he knew that Jodi initially lied to him, why did he not re-evaluate her or say sorry, You will have to find another psycologist as I am concerned about the credibilty of my testimony if I present my finding as they stand.

        As for LaViolette, I liked her. I thought she had credibility and behaved very professionaly.

        It is too bad that the gun could not have been retrieved from the desert and necessary tests be taken to either prove or disprove who owned the gun.

        Here is my point. If balistics could prove that the bullets fired did not come from the Grandfathers gun then this would add credibity to what Jodi has been saying about Travis owning the gun. Once that was established then her credibilty becomes much stronger. Better yet, the serial number on the gun would prove who owned it. If she is telling the truth about that, what else is she telling the truth about?

        The key thing that convinced me that she is probably telling the truth is the fact that taking pictures of the event, especially if you do not wish for people to know you were there make no sense at all.

        I truly believe she went there to save her relationship. Unfortunately things went very wrong.

        If she really had planned to kill Travis, why not do it as soon as she arrived. If we believe the prosecution, she had a gun with her, why not shoot him as soon as she entered the room.

        This is a key area, where the prosecution fails.

        It could be why, when it came to the penalty phase the jury was not unanimous.

        Thank you for listening to my ramblings and for giving me the courtesy of acknowleging what I had to say regardless of weather you agreed with me or not.

        Here are three things i think we can agree on.

        1. Jodi is not guilty of premeditated murder. Lesser charge to be determined based on any new evidence or experts provided.

        2. She needs to be given an appeal and possible retrial.

        3. The media should not be allowed to televise anyones trial as it is proceeding or give any opinion. It should be just straight reporting until after the outcome has been presented and only if all parties agree, ie the families of the accused as well as the victims family.

        Kindest regards & Deep respect

        Thomas Pratt

  1132. Hi sweetheart!
    your letter came today and was so very happy to hear from you!
    It made me smile.
    I am going go some looking around and I will write you tonight,
    I love you Jodi, Hang in there sweetie.
    With all my love, Meeshell xo-

  1133. Haven’t been on here since the verdict. Nice to see people still post. Her defense team really dropped the ball. If they would have defended her with the same passion that Martinez was prosecuting with, she may have had a chance. I stated on here more than once that although I do not with Travis dead, I know numerous guys like him that play with peoples emotions to get what they want, and they leave nothing but victims in their wake of sexual conquest. Build the mind up to get down those pants, then break it completely down when it’s time to move on to the next conquest. And it seems like a lot of inconsistent info about witnesses is coming out after the fact. Jodi has been robbed of her life and her freedom in my opinion. I hope she is doing as well as she can. I send a prayer to her and her family that they all find peace and strength through this injustice.

  1134. Hey Jodi,

    It has been awhile since I have been on hear. First off Happy belated B-Day. I hope all is well and hopefully this next court day goes in your favor. This is so crazy after watching the Zimmerman trial. The judge did such a good job managing the courtroom. Juan was out of control the entire trial to the point he scared witnesses. I hope things change for the better for you Jodi. You deserve a retrial. We got your letter a few weeks back and it was very uplifting to hear from you. We sent you a few other postcards and hopefully they went through and you received them. The website states a metered card but the jail told me on the phone that regular stamps are okay. Not sure. Look forward to hearing from you again. I do not know you personally but have became close through readings and watching everyday of the trial. I wish I would of known you because all this unfortunate things that have happened to you would not have. Take care and stay strong things will change.

    Kevin

  1135. i hope you had a happy birthday Jodi! you are so talented and i know your innocent!

  1136. Best of luck in court today. Very anxious to hear some good news for you.

  1137. Hey Jodi, I watched all of the trial and even the two horrible lifetime network specials that they aired about your case. All they did was anger me further and raise more questions in my eyes. I don’t believe that you are guilty at all. I have been in a relaitonship with a man like Travis before aand I know from experience that you will do anyting to get out and away, only to have them suck you back in. Its TORTURE and all you do is love them and believe their lies. I was also with a Morman ‘man’ and their severe cult like environment almost trains them to brainwash (for the lack of a better term). Iam paying for a retrial and will continue to show my support for you. Blessings 🙂

  1138. Sorry that the court hearing was not more substantive, or at least that is the news I have seen. Whatever, you still have a whole gaggle of supporters like me.

  1139. Hi Jodie:

    Just saw the news and “you go girl”. Keep the courts tied up in appeals, mistrials, etc. Keep bombarding them with issues and then hopefully some of this injustice will rub off on someone in a higher authority to get you out and cleared.

    I bought one of your hour glass prints and have it hanging where I can see it everyday to remind me of you and the injustice done to you. I wish you had been in Canada for the trial because we don’t operate the same way as Arizona.

    Keep the faith!

  1140. The death penalty needs to be reserved for real criminals like John E. Robinson (look up this name on Google). By seeking this punishment for Jodi, the prosecution lost all credibility. Indeed this court was like a circus. I prefer the real circus, though. There the clowns are paid a lot less and are a lot more fun.

    Tremendously bothersome to me is the behavior one of the elders of the Latter Day Saints church who was TA’s adviser. He obviously never deemed it appropriate to have a word with Jodi when TA told them that he wanted to marry another woman and atone for his sins. It can’t get any more hypocritical than this.

    Jodi, you still have a lot to live for. The Mormons control many large businesses (Marriott comes to mind). This allows them to escape the scrutiny of the press. Can’t jeopardize the advertising revenue, can we? Drawing from your firsthand experience you can expose those so-called “Latter Day Saints” as the misogynistic hypocrites that they are! It’s about time someone did!

  1141. For others on the team, some time ago I said I was coming out of retirement, inspired by Jodi’s strength under adversity, to volunteer to help prevent this sort of junk justice. I have now been officially invited to join the Indiana Wrongful Conviction Advisory Board, and accepted to classes at the Law School to better serve that Board. The Board’s recommendations will go to the State Legislature. Any help for Jodi from this will take time and string pulling, but I will go for it.

    • Wonderful! Congratulations!! Better to stay busy than retire anyway (so they say). Jodi’s team appreciates your input, I’m sure. Still praying here.

  1142. Dear Jodi,

    I watched your case in Toronto, Ontario every day. I am a father for a two beautiful and highly intelligent daughters like yourself and wish not to have some one like Travis to any women.
    In this difficult time that you are going through, I pray for you, and may the Lord bless your heart and give you the strength during your difficult time. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
    Stay gold.
    Jean

  1143. you have inspired me to draw again, I went to art school and wouldn’t touch a pencil afterwards. Stay strong

  1144. I hate that it came to that for all parties but I understand. People are so quick to judge but honestly we have all judged others in life it human nature. What people don’t look at is that we are all murders. We all have said things to people that have killed them on the inside but that’s not visible so people think its okay. Jodi I hope you have some peace in life. You have to separate the person you are from the act that was committed. All you wanted was love and to feel safe and secure.

  1145. I have only recently become aware of your circumstances and have been watching your trial on youtube. For what it’s worth Jodi, I think you’re a very special person and I truely believe the world is a far brighter place with you in it. My own spiritual beliefs run a little on the grim side and don’t allow for prayers but, if they did, my prayers would be with you. All I can offer are my very best wishes and the hope that TRUE justice is served quickly and your freedom is returned to you.
    Stay strong angel, you’re worth the effort.

  1146. Hey Jodi,

    I don’t know how those idiots convicted you of premeditation. Good luck. I guess that there a lot of dumbasses in the world like Nancy Grace.

  1147. There is a petition you can sign to take Nancy Grace off the air. Team Jodie should sign it.

  1148. Nancy Grace said if Jodi got out of jail in 25 years she would have time to kill someone else…I believe there is some kind of code of ethics she has to perform in order for her to be a spokes person for HLN how on earth can she get away with those kind of comments who does she think she is.. a petition to get her off the air is comical she needs to be put I jail…she made this comment before the jury had even convicted her of anything..her name is DISGRACE not NANCY GRACE…

  1149. It is a shame for sure. I will never watch Nancy Grace again UNLESS she publicly apologizes to Jodi Arias and her family and admits her part of the horrible injustice to Jodi. She has never had the public at the best interest only herself. And, whats worse I believe she knows that she has the power to sway verdicts. Really ugly.

    • You kidding me?!? She drove Melinda Duckett to suicide and didn’t apologize to her family. You think she cares what a “convict” cares? In T.A.’s words, “She has no soul”.

  1150. I thought you’d like this quote, Jodi: “And the varying pathways of religion represent the different fingers of the single loving hand of the Supreme Being. And this hand is outstretched towards us with ardor and offers us all the fulfillment of the Spirit.”
    ~Kahlil Gibran, “The Eye of the Prophet”

  1151. For the past three weeks, my wife has been out of town. Among other things, I have been looking after her aged mother. In the process, I have taken her 3 weeks in a row to her church – which is not one to which I go. Their service is quite short, simple and in plain English. The sentiments and admonitions espoused the during the service are widely used and marvelous. Among the key ones are: forgive us our transgressions as we for those that transgress against us, Vengeance is reserved for the Lord, All are admonished to show mercy at all times. “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”. And so on.

    Whether that is your church or not, it is hard to argue with the ideas. So, I wonder how Martinez, Grace, and so many of the haters can go to a church where they endorse all of these ideas on Sunday, and then spend the rest of the week working hard to do just the opposite.

  1152. Just would like Jodi to know, she is not alone. I pray for her often. I too have been in a relationship that was as toxic as the one she suffered through with Travis. I was young and dazzled by the attention of an older man who had a lot of power in the public. During her trail, I had MANY flashbacks to that time. Some of the exact same things told to her, I was told by my abuser. When I broke things off, I was harassed no end by phone. When I refused to answer his calls or return calls, my tires were slashed. Wonder who did that? During the trial, I tried very hard to not watch via the news channels. Nancy Grace REALLY pissed me off. As a woman, how could she not understand how events can unfold in an abusive relationship? Of course, I wasn’t able to watch 100% of the trial and, I wasn’t able to always watch what I did catch, online. But, I saw Jodi’s testimony. I can remember how uncomfortable I felt, for her, when I heard those awful phone recordings. I could tell, her words did not match her emotions. Even knowing the outcome, I was screaming at my computer screen, “JODI! Dump this fucktard! He is NO GOOD for you. He has no respect for you.” Please know, I am so sorry you had no one with the wisdom to help you get away from him before it was too late. Had I known you, I would have done what I could to help you break ties. I pray with all my heart and soul, you are able to appeal this case. I cried with you the day of your verdict. I will smile with you when the verdict is overturned on appeal. You just need a judge that knows how to handle a courtroom and not cater to the media and jurors. Keep your FAITH in God. He won’t fail you.

  1153. I just want to send you peace and love, and say, there are many people who are here to support you. With our voices and our prayers. Keep looking ahead Jodi!
    Love, Michelle

  1154. The best I can do from here, so far away from where you are is to wish and hope that you are coping well with the condition in which you are currently confined. I am working on a few things that I hope will help you, but it will take time and I cannot gaurantee success with my efforts. I just want you to know that I am pretty sure I will help other people along the way and it is all due to your strength.

    BTW, is it possible to have some worker in the jail speak on your behalf in the next phase of the trial if that happens?

  1155. I can’t speak regarding the status of this case, nor am I to be considered any kind of expert, but what I do have to offer is very unique experience in relation to violent acts and man’s true nature in reference to them. In an assault type situation, the series of events usually happen very rapidly during the heat of the attack. There are two weapons involved here, so it goes without saying that there are two separate attacks; unless you believe an assailant held a gun in one hand and a knife in the other. Keeping this in mind, let’s examine the scenario. Was the “victim” holding a knife which caused the “assailant” to shoot a firearm? Would the knife fall, thus making the “assailant” grab for it, causing the “victim” to then charge the “assailant” in a tackling manner, bent and coming in low to tackle. With the knife in the “assailant’s” hands, would they strike frantically and repeatedly into the back of the tackler who is bent over? This all fits very nicely with the evidence, but there is one flaw… the throat being cut. However, if this were happening as described, if we add another “player” into this series of events, keeping in mind that it is chaos and people are fighting to survive, the “victim” is bent in a tackling position, the “assailant” repeatedly stabbing them from standing above them, the “victim” almost having control of the firearm, but then suddenly the “third” person grabs the “victim’s” head from behind and slashes their throat in order to stop the ongoing fight. Angles of cuts and slices would need to be examined, but I do not believe one assailant would set down a firearm to finish attacking using a knife. Either there was a self defense whereby a fight ensued over control of weapons, or there was more than one assailant involved from the start. Either way, this doesn’t seem plausible without another person or persons at the crime scene. Looking at the way Jodi failed to notify law enforcement, my guess would be that someone saved her life that day, and she has loyally kept them out of this. Either that, or she was simply there when two other assailant’s did the killing, and again, because of who they were and/or why they did this, she loyally has left them out of it. Good luck Jodi, because no matter what the case, it is obvious you were used and abused. Seeing Travis’ friends and family speaking of him, it is clear that they didn’t really know him at all.

    • The Travis family also looked to make sure that the cameras were on them when they faked their phoney tears……

  1156. Many of us send you messages because we care about you and want this nightmare to end soon. But, what do you want us to tell you about. It is hard to think of new things to say without knowing your interests. Can you let us know what to put in our messages?

  1157. I haven’t forgot you Jodi Arias. I can’t wait for the day when they set you free. You deserve to have your freedom, just like every other American. I wish you the best.

  1158. Dear Jodi;

    I almost wish you would or maybe could have spoken more about the “sexual abuse” and the degradation related to the same that you suffered during your relationship with Travis. I know you want to preserve his image, but you also need to look out for yourself and your psycho-social needs. You never have to feel guilty for doing this, as you are also a human being.

    On another note, I am very impresses to see your art work flourish and mature just as you are. ‘Your art always reflects you’, no matter what. 🙂 Speaking of your art work, I do have the financial means of purchasing a piece, but I don’t know which one I want…I almost want to see more before I decide because again, you are indeed growing as an artist and a person.

    I will sign off by saying that I wish you and your family the best in regards to achieving/maintaining peace and serenity during this troubling time.

    From a person in CANADA,

    Jazzy

    “If you have one foot in the past and one foot in the future, then you are “pissing” on today.”

  1159. Hi Jodi:

    I am praying for you.

    It is my most sincere hope that Travis has been able to forgive you, as I am very sure you must be plagued with bad dreams over this terrible occurrance.

    For what it is worth, I believe that it was never your intention to harm Travis, but a situation where you were over raught with emotions of betrayal.

    Often young men think with there extremities and in the process end up using people. It is not very nice or kind, but sometimes as they grow older, they realize the hurt they have caused others and try to change their behaviour.

    It is sad that Travis never had the chance to change. Had he lived, in time, he may have realized how he hurt others and tried to make some amends.

    It is my belief, for what it is worth, that since God forgives us when we die that we in turn forgive those that have hurt us in life.

    It is my hope that as you would like other to show you compassion & forgiveness, that you will have learned how to forgive him for his mistakes.

    I am so sorry you had such destructive relationship, but it is my prayer that one day, you will be free and be able to find some happiness. Perhaps the doctors will be able to teach you ways of controlling emotions such as jealousy or obsessiveness or what ever it was that lead you to the path you took.

    Jodi, I do not want to see any harm come to you. I think you need help, not further punishment.

    I wish you the best, not to belittle or hurt the victim or his family, as they deserve compassion too, but to see that one day you may be able to contribute to society once again in a very positive and constructive way. That you will derive happiness & pleasure from it.

    regards

    Thomas Pratt

  1160. Just want to let you know that I’m still in corner and will be there always. Stay strong little one )

  1161. When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
    When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
    When the funds are low and the debts are high,
    But you want to smile, but instead you sigh,
    When care is pressing you down a bit,
    Rest if you must, but don’t you quit,
    Life is strange with it’s twists and turns,
    As everyone of us sometimes learns,
    And many a failure turns about,
    When we might have won if we stuck it out;
    Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,
    You may succeed with another blow,
    Success is failure turned inside out,
    The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
    And you can never tell how close you are,
    It may be near when it seems so far;
    So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit,
    It’s when things seem worst, that you MUST NOT QUIT.

    Hang in there Jodi, Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

  1162. Message for Jodi:

    Obviously, because this is a death case, there will be an appeal by your defense team.

    I strongly recommend that you seek a new defense team with better experience which I am certain that you will. I followed your court trial from start to finish and your defense team was all over the place.

    My understanding is that you were diagnosed with borderline personality. Your appeal should be focused on this legal mental problem that you unfortunately have been diagnosed.

    Finally, you will have a better chance at a possibility with life WITH PAROLE if you follow this avenue of defense.

    Good luck!

    • Great input Bob and I thank you. We appreciate your knowledge of the law. Thank you also for serving our country.

      • FOR R LOVE:

        Thanks for your kind comments.

        Unfortunately, her current defense team is stuck with her. By that, I mean that the judge will not release them at this late stage of the game. Another defense team (this late in the game) could not possibly “catch up” on all of the details of this case.

        Her defense team should narrow their defense on “borderline personality” and not try to repeat their previous arguments that she was abused (although it appears it was done mentally). They have to stick to one line of defense and not go all over the place as they did previously. Jurors get easily confused on a “ragged defense posture” and want to be able to concentrate on one single avenue of defense, i.e., “borderline personality”. Of course, they should have already had her tested for this.

        That’s her only chance for life in prison and a possibility of parole in the future.

        Bob Geluz

        • Thank you for your response.
          I’ve wondered why in the world they would not have used the Borderline Personality. Jodi was mentally and physically abused but I’m seeing how hard that is to prove. There were many avenues in which they could have defended her. Don’t forget the roommates who were very quick to point the finger at her and were never investigated properly. It appears the detectives took their word and ran with their inaccurate information. The autopsy and the ME appears to be inaccurate. Travis was a womanizer and abuser which was proven by his own friends (The Hughes for starters) but then again it wasn’t allowed ( evidence) in the trial. Sky Hughes in her own words stated she would never want Travis to ever date her own sister because of how he treated women. Are all of these things her attorneys should have investigated but didn’t because they were overwhelmed? How did it all get so messed up? Jodi was in way over her head and still is. She needs help in the worst way.
          Jodi has shown great strength and is helping so many by supporting a fight against Domestic Violence. I still feel there is more to this story than we know. There are so many unanswered questions that were never investigated properly.
          The media has ruined any chance of a fair trial for Jodi. Why would the Judge allow such coverage? Jurors were known to be using their computers (Tweeter and FaceBook) and listening to HLN. Where in this country would they ever find acceptable jurors?
          Jodi was found guilty by the media along time before the jury ever did and all we see was she was defending herself from an abuser. It that a crime? Jodi did not have a fair trial and that is apparent . Do you see any chance for a mistrial in all of this mess? When you have time I would appreciate your ideas. Thank you.

  1163. God bless you for at least saying you are going to help women and girls with your time. Nelson Mandela was in prison, yet changed the world and certainly South Africa for millions.

    Maybe you will be able to convince girls and women that “bad boys” are just plain jerks, stay away and help other girls and women not fall into the problems that happen to girls and women who do not find a great partner in this stressful world, one who can be trusted, and who loves you and is on your side, and who you can love and be on his side, rather than whatever it is that gets so many women into a mess with a jerk.

    I don’t say the solution was the best, but maybe you can tell women, and girls………what so many of our clients in domestic violence programs learn the hard way……if he looks too good to be true, he probably is. Just a nice, working, caring guy who can be depended on to be dependable, rather than these easy talkers who get you in trouble. I volunteer with teenage girls, many who are mothers, who are in lock downs waiting for their 18th birthday to go to adult prison for decades, or even life thanks to that wonderful guy turning state’s evidence against them, and getting a slap on the wrist while she, who did everything Mr. Wonderful told her, is going to hard prison time for the crimes.

    We watched you grow up over that trial, hope you do not lose ground. God bless.

    • Elizabeth,

      I’m curious to hear more about your work. When you say they turned state’s evidence, what do you mean?

  1164. Dear Jodie, Please know that I am thinking of you and wishing for you NOT to be given the death penalty. I am sorry and if any of that lynch mob were Christian, true Christians, then they should FORGIVE! You are so beautiful but I want for your story to be told, to warn young women, such as my daughter (who is 12) about the dangers of dating men who lie. Love and Light

  1165. Dear Jodi, I am sending you words of encouragement once again. The USA locked up one of our own (Australians) – David Hicks, in a gaol in Guantanemo Bay for 5 years without a trial – same as what they’ve done to you. This isn’t justice, it’s horrible!! I will be sending you some postcards from DownUnder, you needed love and I feel for you. Love and Light

  1166. Aug. 30/2013

    Dear team Jodi:

    I just wanted to express how appalled I am with the behaviour of HLN. It is one thing to pick on someone who has committed a crime, not that it is acceptable either, but as a result of their yellow journalistic practises the lives of members of the defense team have been put at risk as well.

    What I cannot understand is why the courts are not seeing fit to file charges against HLN. These yellow journalistic tactics only inflame hatred. It could lead to the very thing that these holier than thou journalists are saying are so wrong in the first place. Innocent people will lose their jobs and possibly their lives if this continues. If not with this case than with another.

    Travis & his family deserve justice and so does Jodi. It is very difficult to achieve this balance if the media interferes every step of the way.

    The job of the media is to educate & inform, not interfere with due process. Leave the trials to the courts, not the media.

    I wonder how Jane Velenchez or Dr. Drew or Nancy Grace would feel if they or one of their children were accused of a crime and convicted by the media before their trial was even concluded? They would be the first to be outraged, I am sure. Yet they seem to feel it is okay for them to prejudge others.

    I understand the need for justice. I understand how wrong the crime was. I agree that perpetrators of crimes should be punished, but more importantly I believe in due process. Without it, no one would get a fair trial. Media should keep their opinions to just reporting the facts until a trial is concluded otherwise one day they may find that no one will ever receive justice.

    Thomas Pratt

    • Thomas… This was not, a, as in singular, crime, but, a precision quasireligious eternal soul saving blood atonement ritual, solemnly agreed to, by Travis’s feigned, devoutness, as he juggled his own fate, vascillating between perversion and piousity…. a paramilitary dope deal, gone south; or, both… Read, “The God Makers,” for the precision parallels, by and, between, Anderson and Alexander, for clarity. It’s obvious that, Travis was stirring the wrong cauldrons, and, another zealot, held him accountable to his blood atonement oath… Look to the Bishop, somebody, ratted him out to, and, consider that the church held such a miscreant to no standard, despite their own delusions of religiosity, so, the complainant, whose name is concealed; hidden behind, “religious privilege,.” Has, more of a motive than Jodi; who got, what, where, when, and, how much, whenever, bewitching, poor weak, Travis; the kickboxer, 200 plus pound, bare knuckle fighter, body builder, weight lifter, fighting for his life; he, Bluto, getting his ass kicked by Olive Oyl, weighing in at 130 pounds… Does that, compute for you, or, anybody, past the third grade…??? Ask yourself, why a “religious,” for profit; for prophet; corporation of over 14 million sheeple, couldn’t see fit, to donate, one penny, each, to defend, Jodi. Or, with all the opportunistic lieyer wolves, in their fold; not one, will defend her; knowing of the eternal soul saving, blood atonement, ritual, and, the imaginary afterlife, with all those virgin angels; emphasis on “virgins.” 14 million voters, so, who do you think, organized crime at law, is going to pander to…??? Then, there’s the second crime, five days apart, as evidenced by the blood and the brass, proving that stabbings and the gunshot, were a contradiction to the precision kill, to, set, Jodi, up for this senile, staged, soap opera… Edgrrr…

      • Sept.1/2013

        Dear Edgar:

        I most certainly respect your opinion, but as far as I know, there has not been any evidence to indicate a conspiracy against Jodi or for that matter some sort of blood oath against Travis.

        If this is the case, why wouldn’t Jodi have brought that up in court ? Why didn’t her lawyers bring it forward and present the evidence?

        Why did Jodi admitt to commiting the crime?

        I have read many different theories and read some suggestions along the lines you have put forward, but where is the evidence?

        Courts & Juries can only make decisions based on evidence. With all due respect, the evidence presented indicates otherwise.

        Just to clarify somthing, I believe Jodi to be innocent of murder in the first degree, but sadly, I do believe that she killed him, but either as a crime of passion or perhaps self defense.

        This is just my ignorant opinion, it is my hope that further evidence will be presented once Jodi is granted an appeal.

        I really do not wish her harm nor do I have any ill wishes for Travis’s family. This is clearly a case of every one losing. It is a very tragic case.

        Respectful regards,

        Thomas Pratt

        • Thomas, Thank you for your polite letter. There need be no proof of innocense, and, beyond a reasonable doubt, is the criteria by which we measure guilt. Address your analysis, toward refutation of the known facts. As to conspiracies, galloping, in this Alice in Wonderland, charade, cons-piracies, on the basis of, those who know what’s expected, of them, is, to conspire, without having to spell it out. By their deeds, ye shall know them. Direct you evasions, however, polite, to the facts of reasonable doubts, being concealed from the process. I believe, I have made relevant accusations, based upon the actual facts, and, those issues, surely, comprise a truckload of reasonable doubt… none of which reached the jury. If, that does not constitute a cons-piracy, then, the socalled conviction, generated by Sir Spazalots, carnival hypno-nauseation sideshow, invalidates,as well… Address your rebuttals to refuting, reasonable doubts, and, therein you’ll find the blatancies, of conspiracies… Edgar….

  1167. Criss crossing, pertinent defense arguments, should be aligned with those of other sites, to validate the issues… How is it that, of dozens of reasonable doubts, not one was put to the jury ? Why did the judge, get away with, concealing the reason the juror was canned; two weeks, suspected, and told of that juror, placating the Alexander clan, until, I exposed the fact that those who reported it, were told by the judge to keep quiet, about it; no doubt because, the complainants, were told by someone else, and, that was hearsay enough to evade, looking into it ? Two weeks later the judge did look into it, and, found the accusation to be true enough to can the juror, but, still concealed, those grounds for a mistrial, for two weeks of a then, found to be defective, juror, as , the judge had concealed enough reason to look into it, and, did nothing but, tell the complainants to conceal it; andt, opted to continue this soap opera, for two weeks, knowing of the suspected defective juror; finally, admitted, to be serious enough to look into, and, can, the juror,and, browbeat, the Alexander clan, who, “tearfully,” came out of the judges’ chamber then, burned the juror, without, confessing to her own complicity …. The juror, then, irate enough, while the judge was getting away with it, returned to court as a spectator, and, was accosted by a deputy, and, without a court order, was abducted by a deputy, and, led out of the courtroom; not knowing where to, until, apprehension aside, she was deposited, after such kidnapping, under color of law, to her car. I don’t remember hearing of what threats concealed any interview, with her by the Arias Bias news media. Ditto, the collusion and conspiracy, by and between the judge and juror that the juror who had the wrong attitude; translated:” not likely to convict, ” was, writing notes, profusely, and, was subsequently dismissed. I don’t remember, why these and other jurors were interrogated by the news beagles, who, conversely, had no quarrel, with Sir Spazalot,s’ 5,000 plus, brainwashing “questions,” of Jodi, by his carnival act, hypno-nauseations… Where’s the mistrial ??? And, do note the conspiratorial antics, of the judge, doing her extrajudicial, trial, devoid of the right of the accused to aid in her own defense, and, minor detail, that , no court reporter recorded the concealed charades at law… including, culling the jurors questions, also, not recorded, for appellate, review, by less inferior courts…Jodi, hang tough; their kangaroo kourt, is in law, as, nothing… Justice, will be seen to be done, just as soon as enough heat is put upon the Bishop, to reveal, who, ratted Travis out, for his, precision, blood atonement, ascension to planet playboy, and, all those virgin angels… No need to wonder what religion, that idea, was embezzled from… Edgrrr…

    • nice to see you Egrrr!

      I hope Kmiller is lurking around somewhere to see you are still here and to read your post!

      • Thanks BeeCee… I have trouble with finding sites, that haven’t been sent by their own Arias Bias, back under their troll bridge; like whipped dogs… It’s refreshing to find new sites, now that Sir ad nauseam Spazalot, has lost control of the jurors, as they, awake from his hypno-nauseating, comas, and, carnival act, strobeshow… Notice how the Gestapo, goes to New York, to arrest, threateners, but, lets Steven Alexander, make an internet serious death threat, without a bleat from law en-farce-ment. Also, note that, Jodi, was barred from internet access, while being denied the right to aid in her own defense, and, her lieyers, were admittedly too busy to read dozens of reasonable doubts; none of which, got before the comatoasted jury. Also, note the antics of Sir Spazalot, doing his spastic, tap dance; watch the bouncing ball, kiddies, and when you awake, there’ll be a cookie on your desk; carnival , penguin in a tutu, act, hypno-tricking, the jury… Edgrrrr…

        • Jodi, stand your ground, and, refuse to respond to the spastic side show. Tell the sonofabitch, that his contempt of the law; supplanting, exculpatory evidence, with his whirling dervish, dancing with the stars, shucking and jiving, has not gone on, unnoticed… Stand the freakshow, still, and spare the jury, another comatoasting, brainwash. It’s incomprehensible that of all the people and sheeple, on this planet, that, I am the only one to identify, Spaz’s carnival act side show. Let’s see how he fares, without, the hypnotrick, spastic side show, strobe act…How do you think, he elicited, incoherencies from, Jodis’ changing accounts…??? Call in other hypnotists, to expose, this obstruction of justice… Edgar…

  1168. Jodi, If these lizards at law, get you the death penalty, that, will prove, how absurd all this concealment of doctrine and covenant, is, as these lizards at law, continue to dupe the sheeple, as if, defectors, who lived sheeples’ lives, have not, long since, exposed the rituals. Better that you don’t “make a deal,” to trade your rights, which you’ve stood up for for five years, to, appeal, and or, to demand, a real trial, with discovery of all these reasonable doubts, which your lieyers were too busy to read. Let them deny, they said so, while they tried to conceal from you and the jury, the two million dollar bribe, to throw you to the wolves… How, exactly were you defended, wherein, they were too busy, to read dozens of reasonable doubts, and, embezzled from the taxpayers, two million dollars, for such an obstruction of justice…??? Edgrrr…

  1169. And, do consider, Brigham Youngs’ question… “Is there, a man, among us, who would not kill his brother, to, save his eternal soul ?” and…”we would not kill a man, excepft, out of love, to save his eternal soul…” I’m sure such bullshit, was a consolation to the settlers, as the Mormon raiders, murdered them, stole their property, and, abducted their eight year old girls; the perverts… Will, the truth, set them free, or, is, forcing the pansy state, to carry out, the church murders for them, really, the way they should act…??? Let’s see the Bishop, reveal, who, ratted Travis, out…. No doubt, if, Jodi, had to fight for her life, it would have been because he suspected her, and, went ballistic… believe nothing, except that any defense speculation, constitutes, a reasonable doubt; a, as in, one… all that is necessary… Edgrrr…

  1170. As you can see, the Arias bias stops, when comments are charged to meet facts with facts, instead of bootlicking, the donut eaters boots… You’d think that there’d be an honest cop, who’d step up and, tell the truth… Edgrrr… Why have the evasive comments, even, stopped…???

    • Dear Edgar:

      I fully understand the need to vent and as I have said before, I respect your right to your opinion. You may be 100% right in your opinion, but you have not really presently your proof.

      Where did you get your information from? Did you have access to some evidence that no one else has seen?

      If there is evidence then it should be turned over to Jodi’s defense team?

      As I have said before, Jodi admitted to murdering Travis! We have evidence of that. Where does the conspiracy come in?

      Forgive my ignorance, as I am a johnny come lately and perhaps I missed some key evidence or testimony.

      Please be patient with me, as I am not the brightest bulb in the bunch and I learn slowly. I would be very interested in real hard evidence that will support your theory.

      Certainly I acknowledge that certain offshoots of various religions can be cultish in nature and therefore showed be regarded with caution. I think this is probably true of all religions, but I am not sure it is reflective of the Entire Mormon faith.

      After all, some Mormons are moderate and have only one wife other groups practise paligamy and heaven only knows what else they may do.

      I do want to be open minded about your argument, but some evidence would be nice!

      What books have you read, to lead you to believe your theory.

      By the way, A theory is still just a theory. It is not proof.

      I do hope I have not offended you with my parsings. It is not my intent. I just want some clarification.

      respectfully yours

  1171. If someone killed me, and I was “in heaven”, I would forgive them…plain and simple. We live in a society and time where government, bankers, and politicians brain wash us to want revenge, as they make money and votes off of capital punishment laws. “An eye for an eye”, is a term I hear often. What I don’t hear often is a quote from Ghandi, “An eye for an eye will make the world go blind.” Revenge is also a sin just the same, but you will not here this when it comes capital punishment campaigns from politicians. Speaking of politicians, how honest are they?

      Hi Jazz:

      The morality of the death penalty has probably been debated since the begining of time. Certainly the Old Testament validates the Eye for an Eye philosophy.

      Even God himself has punished mankind with the destruction of Sodom & Gamorah and in the Story of Noah’s Arc.

      Mind you God has always said, Vengence is mine!!!!!!!!!

      The question is not so much the morality of the puting someone to death. I think it is really about when is it warranted?

      When we fight wars, are we not killing? What makes this okay? We kill millions on behalf of governments and thats okay?

      Sometimes it is warrented, sometimes it is not.

      Personally, I have never liked the death penalty because it is just too final. Sometimes you are only as guilty as your lawyer is incompetant. Other times you are guilty . Is the death penalty, then warranted?

      Not necessarily, as there are varying degrees of murder. You would not put a person to death if they killed someone in a car accident!

      The question is, would you put someone to death, who may have acted on the spur of the moment? A crime of passion or in self defense?

      That is a tough one, because you now place the guilt and burden on a jury who may not have medical knowledge or knowledge of the law or may misunderstand the instructions.

      Most sane people, would not want that burden as now the blood will be on their hands.

      What of the accused? Is there anything in their character which might be worth saving. The birdman of Alcatraz at one point was looking at the death penalty and had his sentence commuted. Due to his study of birds, he helped with the discovery of certain medicines that eventually helped all of us.

      What would have happened had he not been spared.

      I think one needs to look at what are the odds of the person re-offending? Do they have a history of pervious murders or rapes? If the answer is no. Then in my humble opinion, they should recieve much more leniant sentences.

      The only expections should be mass murders; rapists; terrorists. These people you put to death. Not out of revenge, but because they pose a risk to the common good of society. They cannot be controlled.

      I find the Arias case tragic & baffeling. It is tragic because by airing it on television, the poor girl could not possibly recieve a fair trial. The media had her convicted before the jury even sentenced her. They have been seen at their worst. Laughing & making jokes about this. How is HLN acting in a reasonable or responsible way?

      They may infact, through a twist of fate actually help case in that it may be possible to declare a mistrial it is found that HLN influenced the jury?

      Enough of my musings!

      KIndest regards

      Thomas Pratt

  1172. Look up the term “cult” in the dictionary and thesaurus. Would you find that “PPL” and the Mormon Faith fit into this term? I know ALL religions do, as I can elaborate, but I choose to keep my posts short.

  1173. I saw most of the second half of the trial on the highlights of the previous day on truTV. Only rarely was I on HLN and that was at the end. It was sickening how they seemed to be trying to incite the crowd and make it sound like everybody thought the verdict should be guilty. Worse yet, they all tried to paint TA out to be choirboy that could do no wrong during the trial. The longer I watched the more I could see through the crap of the prosecution.

    I’ve been through the court system all the way to the State Supreme Court in the state where I live. (over a traffic ticket) I know firsthand what kind of shenanigans law enforcement and prosecutors can pull. Fortunately, I won my case after being in court hearings for two and half years.

    Apparently not one juror had been in an abusive relationship before. Very rarely do couples where there was abuse involved just hug each other and say good bye and walk away from each other when things don’t work out. My take on it is that Jodi was grossly abused physically, sexually, and mentally for the benefit of TA. Did the jurors ever put themselves in Jodi’s shoes and ask themselves what they would have done after they been photographed nude multiple times, had sex in every hole available, and then found out that their significant other was planning a trip with somebody else? Did they really think that was going to result in handshake and wave good bye with a smile? WTF planet were they from?

    I live in farm country. Around here people have fuel tanks of a hundred gallons or so mounted in the box of their pickup with an electric pump to pump fuel out of a hose and nozzle. And they can’t visualize somebody having a gas can? Hmmm. I also remember the days of driving around with two guns mounted on a rack in the back window of my truck. Almost everybody did. Maybe I live in a different world than those jurors. But one thing is for certain. Had I been on that jury there would have been NO conviction!!! Pure and simple, Jodi was not guilty of what she was charged with. This shouldn’t have even gone to trial.

    In the pictures of Jodi and her demeanor in court at the table with her attorneys taking notes and using her eraser, her actions, you can see she isn’t some deviant that needs a shock belt on. To be completely honest, watching Jodi at the table reminded me of junior high kids. I was a teacher years ago. I did not see the characteristics of an unruly bad kid in her.

    And they want to try and give her the death penalty. NO WAY!! I see way too much good in Jodi for that to be just. Death penalties are for guys like the one right there in Arizona that shot a US Senator and others for no reason at all. Or how about a guy who shoots a whole bunch of people in a packed theater? Are the courts for real? How can they even think death penalty for Jodi when these people did far worse without a valid reason? There needs to be something that separates these cases. A valid reason is the difference. I felt TA brought it on himself. In these other two cases, the victims didn’t.

    I feel really sorry for Jodi for all that she has been through and the stress of the future. Had I not watched the trial on tv I wouldn’t have written. What happened to her just isn’t right. I wish nothing but the best for Jodi and hope her conviction is overturned.

  1174. Welcome and Thank you Farmer Lonnie. Wish more people thought like us it would be a better world for sure:)

    • Your thoughts to Jodi are so thoughtful. I am sorry that you have been fighting cancer and pray for your healing. It is a sad and lonely world out there when one is fighting for their life. We have to believe that there is hope for all. Jodi has suffered tremendously but through it all has held her head up high. There are so many wonderful people on this site who are fighting for Jodi’s freedom. I believe that if we all do everything in our power she one day will be free again. It is not a crime to defend yourself from a horrible attack. Jodi is innocent. Stay Strong Jodi.

  1175. The jury got it all wrong. People fail to understand that Love makes people do crazy things somtimes the unthinkable ….Travis made Jodi his dirty little secret and mistreated and used her to his advantage. When he didn’t want her he tossed her aside and played mr innocent to other women and when he needed his sex cravings filled he used Jodi. Making someone drive five hours to see you and then using them and hiding them from your friends…degrading them….talking down them …and maybe physically abusing them messes with peoples mind. Jodi snapped and you can tell she snapped in the way she killed Travis. Only someone who has had enough of someone’s torture and lies could viciously kill someone in that manner. its unfortunate Jodi got herself tied up in such a terrible situation and snapped beyond all belief but Love makes people do crazy things ….My heart goes out to Jodi because the jury should of looked at this case from a different view point ….yes the way she killed him was especially cruel but it was a crime of passion ….Its not like she killed a bunch of people or killed all her past boyfriends …it was one murder …she does not deserve the death penalty for one reason and one reason alone Love makes people do crazy things & Jodi simply snapped killing one and only one person in the heat of passion Keep your head up Jodi you do have those who stand behind you and pray for you …..I hope this gets to you and i hope you are doing well god bless

      • To Farmer …
        What gets me the most is if it was premeditated Jodi would of killed TA as soon as she got there not later on after all the sex they had and stuff. The way their relationship was on and off and the way they talked to each other in arguments and everything that came out in trial proves that they had to have had some type of arguement ….that triggered what went down. We don’t know what all went on in there relationship .. Something had to happen in order for her to snap the way she did . thats just point blank I don’t see her just killing him for no reason when she loved him that much ya know? Something went down that day and it resulted in Travis’s death. My heart goes out to her because i am a domestic violence survivor and you can see it in her face that something happened in her life that caused her great pain and what happened with travis proves that she had built up anger and resentment against this man for some reason ….and well like i said …love makes people do the unthinkable.

        • Jodi accidentally dropped Travis’s expensive camera and he became extremely angry and attacked her . . .she was fighting for her life! Jodi did not go to see Travis to kill him. Travis’s on again off again relationship kept her intertwined with him and she could not break away. He was a very devious and controlling person. Not the Angel his friends made him out to be. She was not a stalker. She was a victim of abuse of the worst kind. Stay Strong Jodi!!!! xoxox

  1176. Hi Jodi,

    First of all I want to say that I think the jury should’ve been sequestered in your trial. You can’t tell me they didn’t hear any of the biased opinions of the media. You deserve a fair trial. I hope that the penalty phase goes better. Good Luck 🙂

  1177. Stay strong EARTH ANGEL ! We all love you and know that you are without a doubt truly innocent of all charges brought against you! 🙂

    • Thomas,
      Our site is here to discuss all matters referring to Jodi’s case. All opinions are well respected as long as they are neither abusive nor disrespectful towards Jodi, her family, friends and supporters. Please allow me to reply on your comments:

      WOMEN AND CRIME: Yes, anyone regardless of their sex can commit a crime but as GeeBee stated “Women do not commit murder without motive or without good reason”. Criminologists and profilers state that murder is predominantly a man’s crime. Women killed less than a quarter of those who met death at the hands of others. The traditional female role is a nurturer, not a murderer. Extreme violence is far more alien to females than to males. When a murder is committed by a female, it’s more likely to be self-defense or can reflect some sort of mental illness.

      LEAD DETECTIVE’S LIES: In 2009, during hearings to determine whether there was probable cause to seek the death penalty against Arias, Detective Esteban Flores told the court that, based on conversations with the county medical examiner and his study of the scene, Arias first shot Alexander. Flores repeated that theory of the crime in interviews and sworn statements to Arias’ legal team.
      But right before the case went to trial, the story changed. Medical Examiner Kevin Horn testified that the gunshot likely would have incapacitated Alexander, making it unlikely he fought back. Because Alexander had extensive defensive cuts on his arms and legs, he obviously put up a fight. Therefore, Horn said, it was unlikely he was shot first and Horn denied ever speaking to Flores about the sequence of wounds.

      KEY EVIDENCE: The history of the e-mails. A defense filing from January 2011 details the efforts Arias’ attorneys went to obtain them. Initially the prosecution told the defense attorneys that there were no available text messages sent or received by Alexander and then was ordered to turn over several hundred.
      Furthermore, according to the filing, the case agent, Mesa police Detective Esteban Flores, told the defense attorneys that there was nothing “out of the ordinary” among Alexander’s emails; about 8,000 were turned over to the defense in June 2010, including the Hughes emails.”

      SLASHED TIRES, STOCKING, FLIGHT AND SUICIDE RISK: What ever happened to ‘Innocent until proven guilty’? Jodi was locked up for nearly 5 years before the trial began. Flight risk? An ankle monitor would have crossed out that possibility. As for ‘protecting’ Jodi from any suicide attempts? Jodi was not suicidal.
      “It is well noted she slashed his tires and followed him quite regularly”. Noted by whom, Thomas? By his friends? No official documents or reports show that Jodi slashed Travis Alexander’s car tires nor did Travis ever file a complaint about Jodi stocking him. On the contrary, in many cases – after they had separated – Travis is the one who initially contacted Jodi.

      KEY DEFENCE WITNESS THREATENED: Based on several hearings in 2010 & 2011 which Matt McCartney attended in open court he testified that the letters were real and written by Travis. The defense used these letters to build their self-defense claim and paint Travis as a pedophile. Martinez told McCartney that if he testified about those letters during her trial, that he would have him up on charges of perjury before his feet hit the ground.

      IN CONCLUSION: There has been so much bias against Jodi Arias which started years before the trial, that she never had a chance to a fair trial. In my opinion, I believe that the prosecution was not seeking for justice but was (and is) seeking for revenge (and I don’t really know how personal it is…).

  1178. I just saw in the Arizona Family newspaper that you may have made a deal finally with the county. I sure hope you were able to make a satisfactory arrangement. Cant wait to hear if this is true. But, either way I am still in your corner.

  1179. I love you Jodi Arias as long as God is there and he always will be you will be fine, just stay strong I will write to you baby girl <3

  1180. Jodi,

    Just want to let you know that I am still here on your side and thinking about you. I love you and I look forward to seeing you walk free some day. David

  1181. Here is a look at the spiderweb in which Jodi is currently trapped:

    THE RULES OF THE JUSTICE GAME
    BY: ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ (A well know defense lawyer)
    (with thanks to Federal Blogger David 0. Markus for bringing this to our attention.)

    I. ALMOST ALL CRIMINAL DEFENDANTS ARE, IN FACT, GUILTY.
    II. ALL CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYERS, PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES UNDERSTAND AND BELIEVE RULE I.
    III. IT IS EASIER TO CONVICT GUILTY DEFENDANTS BY VIOLATING THE CONSTIT’UTION THAN BY COMPLYING WITH IT, AND IN SOME CASES IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVICT GUILTY DEFENDANTS WITHOUT VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION.
    IV. ALMOST ALL POLICE LIE ABOUT WHETHER THEY VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION IN ORDER TO CONVICT GUILTY DEFENDANTS.
    V. ALL PROSECUTORS, JUDGES AND DEFENSE ATTORNEYS ARE AWARE OF RULE IV.
    VI. MANY PROSECUTORS IMPLICITLY ENCOURAGE POLICE TO LIE ABOUT WHETHER THEY VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION IN ORDER TO CONVICT GUILTY DEFENDANTS.
    VII. ALL JUDGES ARE AWARE OF RULE
    VIII. MOST TRIAL JUDGES PRETEND TO BELIEVE POLICE OFFICERS WHO THEY KNOW ARE LYING
    IX. ALL APPELLATE JUDGES ARE AWARE OF RULE VIII, YET MANY PRETEND TO BELIEVE THE TRIAL JUDGES WHO PRETEND TO BELIEVE THE POLICE OFFICERS.
    X. MOST JUDGES DISBELIEVE DEFENDANTS ABOUT WHETHER THEIR CONS’TIT’UTIONAL RIGHTS HAVE BEEN VIOLATED, EVEN IF THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH.
    XI. MOST JUDGES AND PROSECUTORS WOULD NOT KNOWINGLY CONVICT A DEFENDANT WHO THEY BELIEVE TO BE INNOCENT OF THE CRIME CHARGED (OR A CLOSELY RELATED CRIME).
    XII. RULE XI DOES NOT APPLY TO MEMBERS OF ORGANIZED CRIME, DRUG DEALERS, CAREER CRIMINALS, OR POTENTIAL INFORMANTS.
    XIII. NOBODY REALLY WANTS JUSTICE.

  1182. I read a copy of your motion to seek a new lawyer and found that there is some very fertile soil there for appeals. In particular, the 6th Amendment to the constitution, as interpreted through Strickland v Washington, 1984 by the US Supreme Court holds that: “At a capital sentence hearing, a 6th Amendment violation occurs only if counsel’s performance was deficient and such deficiency resulted in actual prejudice.” In your motion you lay out several deficiencies and a few indications of prejudice (prejudice occurs when there is reasonable probability that the defendant’s case would have come out differently had the lapse not occurred. The more indications of prejudice you allege the stronger your case. For example, Nurmi failed to vigorously cross examine the States Medical Examiner — even though he had or should have had access to the original medical report. Then, later on, in the aggravation phase, Martinez gave a three part argument of aggravation: the victim suffered for a long time (2 minutes), and to do this he held a 2 minute period of silence in the courtroom. This is a false demonstration as any stage magician knows and it should have been challenged by Nurmi. The second part of the argument was that the pain that could have been associated with each of the wounds was cumululative. He falsely pulled this from the ME’s testimony. Again, this is false and the ME should have been taken apart when he testified and Nurmi should have objected to Martinez speaking fibs to the jury. Finally, Martinez told the jury what Alexander was thinking during the altercation. For example that TA saw the knife coming and was powerless to prevent it. In reality, Martinez had no idea what was going on in the victims mind during the ordeal. TA was loosing blood rapidly and his brain power would have diminished commensurately. So this part of Martinez’ “testimony” to the jury was also a fabrication. Again, Nurmi should have objected. These three things were a key part of the finding of aggravation and should have been challenged. Had they been challenged vigorously, the jury most probably would not have found aggravation. In addition, in most cases the traditional indicators of aggravation are: (1) More than one victim, (2) homicide in conjunction with another crime such as robbery, kidnapping, extortion, etc. (3) homicide used to hide or cover up another crime, (4) long criminal history. None but the last of these was attempted at trial. Clearly, if the aggravation is negated, the death penalty is off the table.

    Now, several of the factors you mention which involve failures during discovery could possibly be used to shed reasonable doubt to the premeditation finding. I don’t know much about that part of the trial, but I bet there are things in there. This could have a big impact on sentencing. Finally the Supreme Court has a lot of bad things to say about right to counsel during custodial interrogation, and so the whole interaction with Flores should be carefully examined.

    Finally, (for now at least) I am not a lawyer and so cannot represent you as much as I would like to, but if you think I can help your new loawyer, just let me know

  1183. Hi Jodi,

    I have watched almost the whole travesty of INJUSTIVE through youtube of your trial. That pompus little peepsqueak is a womon abuser and should be disbarred. He treated you and any of your defending witnesses like ther were meaningless people.
    He has several reason for being disbarred and this trial, – the WHOLE trial should beretried.

    No offense, but this trial was a farce by the waY pipsqeakhe minipulated EVERYONE!.

    Also the judge was obviously out of her league – iif she said it must be so just like peepsqueak martinez.

    May I also say and I hope this doesn’t offend you – but your attornys did you no justice they lbasicall let peepsqeak do anything he wanted becasuehe was the STAR idiot.

    I found a piece written on a website that explins it all:

    A good prosecutor doing the job he is paid to do doesn’t go to malicious lengths to make the defendant guilty so he can win his case and murder the defendant.

    A good prosecutor finds out the truth by asking the right questions.

    A good prosecutor doesn’t intimidate and belittle witnesses to shake their confidence so they say what he wants them to say – that’s a dirty trick.

    A good prosecutor doesn’t yell at the defendant and other witnesses.

    A good prosecutor doesn’t tell the jury the defendant is guilty when he KNOWS they are innocent of the charge against them.

    A good prosecutor doesn’t throw pens, throw tantrums and yell abuse at the defendant and witnesses.

    A good prosecutor doesn’t stop the truth coming out by not allowing someone to speak when he knows what they are about to say is not what he wants the jury to hear.

    A good prosecutor doesn’t ban evidence that would be in favour of the defendant’s innocence,

    A good prosecutor doesn’t demand yes/no answers to 4 questions in one when each individual question can’t be answered with a yes/no answer – which he asks in that way so its a win/win for him whichever way the defendant or witness answers – rather like the game of noughts and crosses when you get your opponent by putting your nought or cross in the corners so you get them either way and win.

    A good prosecutor doesn’t need to go below the belt.

    A good prosecutor is interested in the truth.

    A good prosecutor doesn’t lie and tell his witnesses to commit perjury to win his case by changing their testimony.

    A good prosecutor doesn’t change his charge against the defendant at the closing argument when nothing more can be said,

    A good prosecutor doesnt lie and tell the jury what they should think, how they must vote.

    A good prosecutor doesn’t deliberately keep objecting in order to have the jury forget what the witness is saying.

    A good prosecutor needs to PROVE GUILT by fair means, not by foul.

    And contrary to the misconduct you think is fine, a good prosecutor does NOT sign autographs outside the court room in a Capital murder case.

    A good prosecutor doesn’t over-charge the defendant.

    You call doing this, the prosecutor doing his job??

    A good prosecutor doesn’t prosecute? Gotcha.

    This pipsqueak onlt cares about winnin at any cost – he could’t care about the truth, the factsn or the circumstances.

    Hopefully you can find the finances to get a retrial that is just and some attorneys who know what they are doing.

    I sincerely hope the best of outcomes for you. I know I do not know you, but I feel I do. I wish you peace and love and nothing but bright rainbows to color your day in your favorite colors.

    I am 61 yers old so I guess asking you out on a date would be out of the question?

    But, actually I thought about you everyday for the past six months – (PS = don’t tell my wife.)

    I would very much like you to write me or email; me and perhaps we can be pen pals so to speak.

    I hope this will in someway bring a smile to your face.

    Till next time, I remain your friend always.

    Michael G.

    • Michael, I have removed you personal info from your post for your own protection. If you wish to contact Jodi, click on the link ‘Write to Jodi’ which is at the top of our site page – at the site’s menu area.

  1184. I posted this to the Juan pipsqueek support page – Bet it won;t stay up long!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey Juan – answer this YES or NO – Do you still abuse women?
    You are just out to win – no matter if the defendant is innocent.
    You should be disbarred for your unethical courtroom tactics.

    You want all your questions be answered yes or no to entrap them. This is the way you twist the truth

    You get away with so much in questiong witnesses, you should sentence yourself to death.

    Jodi is innocent and you know that is the truth. She was obviously abused by Travis and now you have abused her for months. You should be arrested for all the women you abuse.

    You have no ethics and you know. You are not a prosecuter – you are a persacuter.

    A mistrial sould be granted for Jodi as she did not get a fair trial.

    All 5’4″ of you act tough in the courtroom – How many innocent people are found guilty of your dispicable exploits.

    This will probably be deleted because the TRUTH always is.

    But one thing – 5″4″ Juan you know is that everthing stated above is the truth – which you can not deny – especially under oath, but you would use some form of corruption to prove you are not guilty of the above, because so many instances in your past haveshown how shady you are.
    You are a poor excuse for a 5″4″ lying unethical person!

  1185. My thoughts and prayers are with you everyday. Hopefully one day soon you will taste freedom again. You do not deserve this nightmare. Never Ever give up Jodi. You are not alone, we are with you heart and soul!!!!
    Love to You, Jodi!!
    (((((((JODI))))))

  1186. Jodi, my heart goes out to you. I watched the trial from day 1 and I was on your side throughout every second of testimony. I wish people would stop giving you so much flack and pay attention to the facts, the facts are you had to do what you had to do in order to survive that afternoon. I can only hope that one day you will be free and able to enjoy the rest of your life. You are a strong and beautiful woman. I have faith in things eventually going right for you. Head up, millions are dying to see you falter. Xoxo – Casandra

  1190. Dear Jodi,
    I am a 55 y/o woman in Chicago, and your situation has touched my heart. I’ve also been diagnosed w borderline personality disorder since I was 23, and it took til I was 48 to learn I had Aspergers (form of high functioning autism) and right hemisphere learning disorder which affects my socializing and making friends which is why I’ve never gotten married or even had a boyfriend longer than 4 months.
    As I write this my 98 y/o Mom has advanced Alzheimer’s and was admitted to inpatient hospice on tue so I’ve basically moved in with her and brought my youngest cat to the hospital.
    Good luck to you. I know it won’t help to wish u a “Happy Thanksgiving” under your and my circumstances, but I hope u are doing as well as possible under the circumstances. If u want to penpal with me, I would be honored to count you as a new friend
    Best regards,
    Ann

  1191. Hello dear Jodi beautiful artist and photographer.. Your story has touched me these past months keeping up with it and all.. I feel you really loved with all your heart and it got broke, this makes me sad that someone didn’t realize how lucky they was to have someone like you and your heart and your love..We are behind you 100% young lady, Dont give up and stay strong I believe you will make it, Because she that loved much is forgiven much..Jesus

  1192. Jodi I want to apologize for believing you were guilty but find it to be you were sexually , emotionally & mentally abused.You loved Travis so much that he used and abused you badly. He wanted you on his terms and did not want no other guy to have you. It was fatal attraction when Travis figured it out that you knew he wanted you for his pleasure not yours. It was obsession Travis had over you & he knew you were at thin ice with him. When you went over to his house to say goodbye to him,(when you were about to go home) he asked you to stay over night with him.He pity you which you didn’t approve of that. Travis only used you for sex & wanted sex his way which you didn’t approve ,(you were raped numerous of times when not wanted it).I understand you loved Travis but again you were afraid of him.This is a case of the “burning bed” , where you feel if you got the law enforcement in loved – Travis could easily had you killed – considering Travis brother & father have a record with the law enforcement for domestic violence ,(a large family of 5-7 brothers in the Alexander family).And considering the Alexander family are covering up their guilt to protect Travis reputation – saying he is a kind hearted guy and a mormon , that is used to give Travis justice.Using religion as a a cover up when Travis,(him self abused hid religion by having sex with so many women in the past). How ever Travis ex girlfriend admitted it on stand in court but deny they were ever abused – which again, these ex girlfriends are afraid of the Alexander family & could well do not want any problems with the Alexander guys because they’ve domestic violence records them self..And on top of the Alexander family being gang members ,(having tattoo’s all over the bodies and Steve Alexander had his license suspended to practice law) , that is NOT allowed in the mormon faith, because lying & tattooing your bodies is not allowed being mormon. And with Tanisha husband – which I wouldn’t dare mess with because he does him self have tattoo’s all over his body & looks to be a street fighter,biker , I looks to be bad news.And Tanisha sister being a police officer – these bad asses seem to run this country & are the ones that are out looking for trouble.So “Jodi” – I believe you had no other choice but defend yourself. You were alone with Travis & he was raping you. You went into a rage & could not get away from him & fight him yourself. Your only defense was a weapon. A guy that is a big guy over 2 hundred pounds & you a tint girl weighing over 100 pounds, you couldn’t defend yourself – so you felt safe with a weapon. I believe you did go into a fog & did not mean to kill him.You were scared because Travis was raping you,(begging you to do things you didn’t feel comfortable doing).He was pushing you around on the floor,in furniture and you were scared. Yes a true story about the “burning bed” & the wife got found not guilty after she killed her husband.She did it out of self defense.Domestic violence happens everyday & wives,girlfriends kill because they fear they will sooner be killed by their spouse. So “Jodi” – I believe you should have not be found guilty of 1 st degree murder.Your case should be fully investigated & your case should be tried again in court with new jurors & the Alexander family should be charged by ruining your reputation by begging online internet providers how much your a killer & Travis needs justice because he is a kind hearted soul that gives to everyone?. What are families for?. They stick up for one another but gain attention by trying to gain followers to put you to death? .That is exactly what the Alexander family is doing – beggging everyone all over the world wide web – to give donations to them in Travis’s name but giving you a BAD name saying you killed Travis in a jealous rage?. I find it the other way around.. JUSTICE FOR JODI ANN ARIAS!!!

  1193. Millions are praying for Jodi’s Victory. Victory will be in God’s hands and will result in Jodi’s death penalty sentence!!

  1194. Hello Jodi,Im from Ohio and after watching many hours of things surrounding your case i just want to say i support you fully.
    Travis Alexander was a player,mind bender,and he used you,led you on and hurt you without any thought of what it was doing to you.
    Any guy would be so lucky to have such a strong willed,beautiful,caring woman as yourself. That dirtbag hid behind religion to treat you as a whore.
    I believe on that final night he invited you to stay because he wanted to use you as he saw fit.
    I believe he hid his other side of rage from others jsut as he hid his sexual exploits.

    I truly wish the best outcome for you and would love to correspond with you someday.

    Take Care, Eric

  1195. Dear Jodi,

    Sorry. I am leaving another post with my correct e-mail address. I am post call so I am a bit asleep at the wheel here (I am a doctor in NJ). Hang in there! Regards, Jim.

  1196. Dear Jodi,

    Hi! How are you? I left a message for you yesterday when I bought some of your amazing artwork (very impressive…I am a total spaz with a paintbrush) but I was not sure if that message would reach you so I thought I would say hello here. I did make a donation to your defense fund but I did not find a place to donate to your commissary account. How do I do that?

    How are you holding up in prison? I can only imagine what life is like for you. I saw a news segment where they showed your cell and saw what the food was like. After seeing that I felt so badly for you! I truly hope that painting and reading give you some peace in prison. I pray for your safety on a regular basis. I hope the prison staff and fellow inmates treat you well.

    I am aware that the re-trial for the penalty phase will begin in the near future. I wish you strength through all of this, and I wish you the very best of luck. I hope that things turn out for the best for you and I will keep you in my prayers. You have demonstrated courage and have revealed the intelligent woman you are through this nightmare. Stay strong. Regards, Jim.

  1197. Hi Jodi 🙂
    Just wanted to send you a quick message to let you know that we are all still here, thinking and praying for you. It is a new year and with it, I hope that justice will finally come to you, the one that actually deserves it. Both my mother & I each just bought 2 of your wristbands, one for each wrist and we will wear them proudly. Thank you for being a voice for those who have been abused but have never been able to fight back — you are a martyr in so many ways. With much love, peace and of course justice to you in this new year.
    Hang in there, Jodi — your true believers will always be here to support you.
    ~Kelly

  1198. Jodi you are so gorgeous and have a sick body, you should do a calendar shoot to raise more money. They can’t keep you in jail for him attacking you when you went to his house with no intention. You will be free soon. We all love you.

  1199. Hi Jodi !
    I’ve been watching your situation and I hope you can stay strong throughout the rest of your ordeal. Sometimes God gives us burdens that are very heavy (as I’m sure your heart is also), but these burdens can make us stronger as we continue on in our life’s journey. Some will never forgive and always hate, but that is on them. To be a believer is to be strong though and put on the armor of God. No matter what happens He will look after you and keep you. With my warmest regards, I wish you well.

    ~Rick

  1200. psalms 26- 2-6 Jodi take care of yourself I know things are rough i’ll pray for you keep your head up my name is john. you will stay in my prayer’s

  1201. Jodi your lawyers aren’t very good. You did overkill if you were premeditated you would’ve just shot him and got out of there, you were abused by him. They should never have let you do what you did during your trial the whole preparation was wrong. Now you have to face getting the death penalty because of a bad defense. If there was only a way to get you freed again. You never had an arrest of any kind and never had any record of violence. I can imagine he pushed you and devalued you greatly. I imagine you got court appointed lawyers and i’m suprised a lawyer didn’t take the case on for a high profile case to get notice and exposure. What can i say? You are a goddess and maybe your heavenly home awaits you…we’re all afraid to die but this world and this life is hell and full of corruption and greedy evil people. I only wish you well and hope for your freedom somehow, the judge has the power to get a sentence of life and suspend it too. I really think you should be freed. We may never meet but I feel good to know someone beautiful and talented as you lives in this world…your way of talking is really nice I love to hear your voice it’s almost intoxicating and memorizing at the same time…Travis may not have loved you but there’s millions of people in the universe who do that’s for sure…i can tell there’s plenty of people who posted on here who also love you…love tony!!!!

  1202. Jodi, I hope to God that you did not participate in this horrible crime. I would hope that somehow you were drawn into this horrible nightmare and that you will be exonerated soon. I am aware that many religious factions constantly contradict themselves, and hope that circumstances will be revealed that will prove your innocence.

  1203. Jodi, great to see so many supporters. There is little doubt in my mind that you were driven over the edge.Being a male does not make men any better than you. We have been cheated on as you were. The feelings the same. When you love someone and that individual doesn’t return the same amount of love there’s that part of you that would go to any lengths to make it better. You went far and beyond showing your love, driving,,converting,,,taking explicit photos all for him. He used you knowing that he had you wrapped around his finger. He was a fake in the eyes of his religious upbringing. Doing all this behind closed doors. I don’t believe the jury will set you free but I don’t think you will get the death penalty.As time goes by and you show the courts your good behavior behind bars and they don’t see any type of violent outburst from you that’ will prove to the justice system that this was an isolated incident. You seem strong minded and you will give the justice system reason to believe your innocence. Hang in there. I know it should be tough as hell. Consider this when they do make their final verdict you would have served much of your time already behind bars..just be yourself. Peace to you~Dennis

  1204. Hey Jodi
    Still here and praying for your freedom! The day will come when the truth will be told. . .Hang in there!
    Always remember your present situation is not your final destination. The BEST is yet to come!

  1210. Jodi, I hope you find peace…Im sure The past few years for you has been a hell no one could ever imagine. Im not here to judge you, but I can understand the pain that Ive seen in your face. I see the hurt, I know you gave heart away. You loved him, in your heart you probably became one with him….Ive never taken the time to acknowledge someone else’s story but somehow I can relate to having the person you love more than anything destroy the love you gave to them and use you. I hope you haven’t completely died inside, though after watching the trial it would be hard to imagine otherwise. Im not a praying person but I will pray for you,

  1211. Hi Jodi,
    I’m a 67 year old man who has followed your ordeal and I think I saw how it all came together. You were ignored, used, and abused but he would continue the sexual part even if he don’t want to be with you. That can make you pretty damned mad. I would never have done that. Hell, if my wife leaves me now, I will come and marry you in prison. You are one sexy hot woman. Don’t give up.

  1212. Jodi

    It has taken me watching your trial again and listening to your testimony that has convinced me you are an abused woman and did what you did due to that terrible happening. I hope your appeal is successful. May you be blessed and find peace soon.

    MK

  1213. I have watched some of your trial on YouTube, and I have found you very inspirational that despite so much and so many people being against you, you were able to hold your composure in the court, but at the same time you seemed to feel genuine remorse. I do believe that you are sorry for your crimes. If I had the power I would give you a second chance. It’s strange that in a place like America, where they generally believe in Christian values, they don’t hold a lot of reasons in their hearts to forgive in a case such as yours. How can they expect to be forgiven if they can’t forgive others I wonder? I’m very interested in what happens to you, and its a shame society is making you pay such a high price for what could be seen by some as an understandable mistake, which I’m sure that you believe it was.
    You have inspired me and that will help me and others like me I’m sure. I will watch for what happens to you with interest. I wish you good luck in whatever lies ahead for you. Remember, not everyone is against you.

  1214. Dear Jodi,I know that it is almost impossible to keep believing but I want you to know that I know your innocent and that you got caught in a witch hunt. Someday all of the truth will come out an you will be exonerated .Please know that you have a lot of people who believe in you and myself included. If somehow you could write I would be happy to be a pen pal with you .I know it is rough for you be please stay hopeful as we do.take care and will post again soon,sincerely Samuel Johnson

  1215. SO SWEET YOU ARE I WISH I COULD TAKE YOU HOME AND TAKE YOU UNDER MY WING YOU PUT OTHER GIRLS TO SHAME WITH YOUR CUTENESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

  1216. Jodi, I think youre the most beautiful woman ever. There is something that draws me to you. There is something special about you that I cant put my finger on. Im interested in not just your story, but your life also. I really wish I could meet you.

    • I hope you will see justice soon. Everyone is pulling for you and praying that it won’t be long before you are free and can leave all this behind.

    • It’s refreshing to know that people are starting to see what travis really was. Thanks for your support Marilyn.

  1217. Hey Jodi, I’m still in your corner and you’re still in my heart and on my mind. Much love to you,…Earth Angel, and Team Jodi. We Shall Be Victorious!

  1218. It bothers me very much that you’ve been made a victim of a world gone wrong. What the hell is wrong with so many people these days? You’re a smart and powerful woman, with so much potential. In another age you would’ve been the queen of a kingdom somewhere. But still human, and unfortunately subject to the same weaknesses that we can all succumb to in the right circumstances. I am sorry you experienced what you did, but even more so I’m sorry to see the jury lacked the intelligence and understanding of what brought you before them (crime of passion & time served anyone?). I do not go without thinking of you for very long, as though you were a family member falsely imprisoned in another country, though in a way it’s a bit worse because you’re falsely imprisoned in MY country.

    Take care Jodi

    And yes, I did donate to the appellate fund…

  1219. I’m assuming Jodi will not actually see any comment posted on here?

    If so, would someone please let me know?

    Jodi,

    I just want you to know that God loves you very, very much! You are His child as we all are His children! God only wants the best for all of His children! He did give us all a free will though. That is because He loves all of us so very much that He didn’t want to force any of His children to love Him back like puppets! He lets every one of us decide for ourselves if we want to believe in Him and follow Him or not! I believe, you choose to believe in Him and follow Him! It does not matter if we have sinned in the past, present or future (we ALL have sinned!)… “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ” Romans 3:23

    …because God sent His son, Jesus, in human form to take all of our sins upon Himself by going to the cross at Calvary, where He was crucified to death and shed His blood for all of man kinds sins! Jesus did this willingly! He was perfect and NEVER sinned while He was here on earth, but nevertheless, He was condemned and crucified on the cross under Pontius Pilate, anyway! The good news is that He died and was buried, but on the third day He rose again in accordance with the scriptures; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.

    Jesus has already been through all you’re enduring, Jodi,…and more. We may suffer because of our consciousness of Him, but remember that Jesus endured His suffering because He was conscious of us. His sacrifice saved us….and yours may save someone you love, in His name.

    “He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.”
    1 John 2:2 ESV

    Jodi, I pray to God that He will shorten your suffering and bring to light all the injustices of your trial! I pray that God will hold you in His arms and comfort you every day and night and give you strength and His peace which passes all understanding! I pray that God will be with your attorneys, Mother and Father, siblings, extended family, friends and supporters as we continue to seek justice for you and, ultimately, your freedom soon!

    “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.” Matthew 10:26

    • Antonis, hi! Thank you for your support for Jodi. We are very few people that actually know about Jodi. At this site you will find Maria and myself who are greek too.

      Γειά σου ρε πατρίδα! Ελπίζω να συνεχίσεις να έρχεσαι στο σαιτ μας και να δείχνεις την υποστήριξή σου για την Jodi. 🙂

      • I hope that Jodi liked the poem you wrote as much as I did. I thought it was right on.

  1223. Wow!! What a long list of supporters. They see that you are a path setter for not blaming the woman for fighting back against abuse, for the courts meeting out justice in stead of just legal maneuvering, and for humane treatment for people. I hope these are achieved for you and that all of the people who have written to you will send some $$ to your appellate fund to help that happen.

  1224. Happy Birthday, Jodi. I know it’s not the best place to have a birthday in, but know I am thinking of you and praying for you on your birthday. I hope you feel God’s smile on you. He knows you are innocent, too.

  1225. Dear Jodi,
    I wish you a happy birthday and good luck with your legal battle.
    It’s been more than a year sinse I’ve become your supporter and my support for you hasn’t waned – on the contrary, I have become more convinced that you have been chosen as a scapegoat and thrown under the bus by the State of Arizona.
    I and other supporters will see to it that you will get a fair trial of which you have been so unfairly robbed by haters, the media and the venal and morally-bankrupt judicial branch of Arizona.

  1226. Happy Birthday, dear Jodi!!!

    I pray that God fills your heart with joy and peace today! The peace that passes all understanding as God says in His word;

    “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 NIV.

    I also pray that you feel all the love and support for you here at Team Jodi!!! God loves you so much, and so do we all!!! I pray also that you feel all of us celebrating the day that you came into this world!!! God has a purpose and plan for your life, Jodi!!!

    “For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

    Jodi we know that you are innocent and should not be in prison but the truth will prevail and you will be free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Love, peace and joy to you today and every day!!! I love you!!! 🙂

    Love, Mary Williiams

  1227. Jodi you have not gone over, or around but continue to work through your problems, and for that, one day soon your Freedom will be reality. I am proud of the way you have continued to be brave and stood steadfast against the Haters of this world. I am proud to say I consider you a part of my Forever Family!
    Happy Birthday Jodi! 🙂 Praying for you, Jodi!

  1228. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my sweet angel!

    I know you cannot read any of this, nor can you watch this beautiful video… However, the Universe doesn’t have any mundane limitations so I believe that you can FEEL all this touching outpouring of love and support that everyone is expressing today.

    May the Archangels keep you under their wings today, same as every day.
    We love you, we pray for you, you are deeply rooted in our hearts. Fighting against this injustice may take a long time but we promise we will not stop, we will not turn our backs on you, we will not give up on you. NO MATTER WHAT.

    Remember, all you need is hope.

    “Hope is the thing with feathers
    That perches in the soul
    And sings the tune without the words
    And never stops at all.”
    ― Emily Dickinson

    Let it be known to the world that we are PROUD Jodi supporters. Abuse is abuse is abuse and it is NEVER justified, forgivable, acceptable or forgotten.
    Jodi has become our sister, friend and yes why not? Our hero!

  1229. Jodi, may God be your guide
    and forever stay right by your side
    while you plead your case as your own attorney
    may it be a very enlightening journey!

    I stand behind you and your decision to represent yourself in your upcoming penalty phase trial and there are many, many more supporters who feel the same!!! Hold your head high, Jodi, and I know you will do a fantastic job!!!

  1230. Jodi,

    I hope things work out for you. thank you for bringing to light domestic violence against women. most of times too many women are silent and do nothing, but you have proved them otherwise, by shedding the light on a womanizing individual as well as a pedophile.

    anyone who makes a comment about a 12year old having an orgasm, we should question their integrity and their mental status. this man did nothing but abuse you. like the old saying”have their cake and eat it too. its just too bad that you didn’t cut off the relationship before this happened.
    Good luck with your upcoming court date…I wish you all the best…

    • Dear Jodi,
      I’m from Italy and I read by chance about your story 2 weeks ago. All the story upset me, I must admit. I don’t know wether you are innocent or not, but I think that no one deserves death penalty. I also noticed a lot of wrath on you, I’m so upset on how Americans can be revengeful. Another thing I noticed are insults on you. How many men kill (their) women? There are so many, but when a woman is guilty or suspected of crime, she’s much more verbally abused than a man on the same condition. I think this is unfair and sexist.
      It feels like you were broken hearted and felt betrayed by Travis, you were deceived and I’m sorry for this, I also learnt that you were abused when a child. You were so beautiful and I hope you’ll be beautiful again and have another chance in life.
      Rememeber that God and our angels always love us, and you can ask help to your guardian angels. God and the angels never judge us, they are pure love.

  1231. Jodi,
    I cannot tell you how frustrated it makes me to see how the role of traumatic bonding to emotionally abusive and narcissistic partners continues to be minimized in the eyes of the law, media, and society. I am wondering if you and your legal team may still seek the input of a forensic psychologist who has a thorough understanding of how intermittent reinforcement by such a partner tends to condition (reinforce) the other partner to engage in behaviors that may be misconstrued as character flaws. We have a very long way to go to break down these types of myths. I am deeply sorry for the cycle of emotional abuse you were exposed to and how brave you seem to be.

  1232. Hello Jodi,

    I recently started to follow your trial (since yesterday actually) and I’ve found it very compelling. I think I may have seen your name on TV a couple times over the past few years, but never really paid much attention since I don’t get into the news that much, and realize that they hype everything up and try to control the public by manipulating their emotions, so I kind of tuned this story out (along with others). But when I went to youtube there was a short video clip of your trial and since then wanted to learn more about your case. I didn’t watch the full 40+ days of your trial but viewed quite a few, and from what I can tell, I really don’t think that you got the just punishment. I’m not sure exactly what all transpired on June 4, 2008 between you and Travis, but given the evidence I think it’s an injustice to call it first degree murder. That to me implies premeditation, and it really doesn’t appear that it was, not knowing what was in your heart/mind that day. To me it very much looks like a crime of passion. Inconsistencies in your testimony and attempting to conceal the truth after the fact isn’t nearly as important to me as these 3 things: the remorse you’ve shown since that day (i.e. breaking down in private during the interrogations when the investigators left the room and no one else was around); the fact that you didn’t try to thoroughly dispose of the evidence; and the question as to whether or not Travis attacked you first. None of these things points to a cold, heartless person. Also, throughout the trial you did display a demeanor to the victim’s family and the court that was respectful and thoughtful. I’m anti-Capital punishment in principle anyway, but I think it would be a horrible miscarriage of justice to impose that sentence upon you, and would set a bad precedent. As a Christian, I believe it is wrong to end someone’s life, whether it’s done by the state or an individual, except as a means of self-defense and only if there’s an imminent danger of being killed yourself. I will continue to follow this case, and perhaps make a donation to help in the appeals process. I hope that not only you win in the sentencing trial, but also have a retrial to determine guilt or innocence. I don’t feel the initial trial was fair and if you had witnesses that could have helped you that weren’t summoned to court that needs to be corrected.

  1233. To our ( TEAM JODI’s) Earth Angel, Although I haven’t posted lately, I just want you to know that you are still on my mind and in my heart. And I am, and always will be in your corner,

  1234. Hey Jodi…I am all for self-defense, too many women have not fought back in the past & winded up deceased victims themselves,….your story seems very sound, & I support you. I will continue to go on and make a financial donation & also send a postcard, hope to hear from you. And also..as im sure you’ve been told…I think your GORGEOUS!

  1235. Dear Jodi …

    Hope everything will be ok at the end for you … My thoughts and prays are with and for you!!!

    And please remember two things and never lose faith:

    ““To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.”

    “When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”

    Love from the other side of planet Earth.

  1236. Will there be a character witness to address all the things that Jodi has done from prison that show kindness and concern. There are the donations, but she also warned of scams being perpetrated in her name, for example schemes to sell her letters. These show a good person clearly doing things to help others that will have on consequence to her. She just did these things because they were the right things to do. If I really knew here, I would like to give such testimony. I hope someone will.

  1237. Jodi, I and so many others hearts are with you. We are doing everything we can. Stay strong and know we care for you and are fighting for you!

  1238. Dear Jodi,

    I too have suffered and had my life in danger and I can understand the strong feelings of needing to protect yourself. I really appreciate how forgiving you have been toward people who are acting crazy and evil. You seem like the most sane and gentle person out of everyone in the courtroom. Your patience and faith is a great example. I believe that there are many women who have learned from your efforts and character. I appreciate the goodness and hope that you are sharing through your artwork and caring for others. I hope that you will be blessed and comforted.

    Love,

    Catherine

  1239. Jodi, hope things are as good as they can be. God bless for supporting things like this website, & I will continue to make donations to the JAA fund each week. As much as I can do to help, I will, every little bit I’m sure counts. 🙂 Love Anthony.

  1240. Hello Jodi, I am behind you 200%. I knew guys like Travis, they just use women and throw them away. I wonder if you still consider yourself a Mormon? The police and almost everyone in Mesa is Mormon. I hope you think about that and what they are doing to you. But there are a lot of people on your side. I hope and pray for you everyday. You are beautiful, talented, and strong. Keep your chin up!

  1241. Jodi, national news media in America is so incredibly biased because they would do anything just to get ratings, anything to get people to watch it so they can get money from advertisers. What is worse is that it does get ratings because many people tune in and believe much of what they see and hear, even if it is biased. I wish foreign media would come in and provide an unbiased view of your story and case. I would love to see them show the real Jodi, the girl many people here are not seeing, the girl who deep inside is a loving, caring, passionate girl who is totally misunderstood because they have been brainwashed by this tabloid news coverage of your trial. Jodi, I’m hoping you get out soon so you can tell your own story, in your own way, with proof showing Jodi is innocent. It would be great if you could share your story with any major foreign news channel that can be seen in America like BBC World News, CCTV News, RT News, or Al Jazeera. Maybe you will also write a book. Jodi, your supporters can see what I see, a misunderstood girl who has been made into a villain by the major American news media, especially that disgraceful tabloid TV news and trial channel. Jodi, believe in yourself, your supporters believe in you.

  1242. Jodi, hang in there. Might be a lot of hate going on by misunderstood people, but believe & know that there is also a lot of LOVE & SUPPORT going on too. Us supporters will not budge an inch to their words, we stand strong & tall here to support you always. Love me & everyone.

  1243. Wish Jodi could hear a song that made me think of her. Called “Never gonna be Alone” by Nickleback. Maybe I’ll write to her one day with the lyrics. Stay strong, we’re all praying for you!

  1244. Not sure exactly where things stand right now because the news isn’t saying much. So I just send you more strength for whatever may come. I hope the best for you. And so do a lot of other people. I’m not sure if that’s a comfort…I can’t imagine what you’re going through. You live alone through what you’re going through, but you are not alone as far as that you are in people’s minds, thoughts and hearts who care about you and wish you the best outcome possible.

  1245. I know things look really bleak right now and I know that things are very dark right now but I think you need to know that everything is going to be alright in the long run. I’m pulling for you and praying for you every day. Don’t give up the fight, don’t back down, don’t let them get to you; there are a lot of people pulling for you out here and we all love you. We are with you.

  1246. What a devastating process. At least you are not alone. I was amazed to find all this support for you. It’s good to know some people understand abuse, even when it hides, as it often does, behind some religion. Godly abusive men. There are so many. The women are expendable and degraded. The men excused and supported.

    People are waking up and understanding abuse. Hopefully, more will come to light after you are sentenced and you will be pardoned or have your sentence commuted. I refuse to believe you could receive death and also hope that the DP soon becomes illegal everywhere. I live in a state that has found it to be unconstitutional under our state constitution. With the right political results the US S CT will someday soon find the same.

    You are not alone.

  1247. Hiiiii Jodi !!

    Please remain strong. I live in Sweden, i have followed your case since day one. I can not even imagine how hard you have it in prison and now in cort again. I also had a similar relationship. Thank God that I ok today, and that i had the chance to leave him before I ended up dead or similar to your case.

    xoxo Marie

  1248. To Jodi Arias,

    Jodi. Please consider starting a “Kidney for Klemency Program”. This program is, prisoners who face very long sentences, including life, donate a kidney and/or bone marrow, in order to get significant reduction in their sentences. You start this, and it will get national media news. Start it. Announce it. Suggest it. If some States allow it, it will save many, many, many innocent lives. Consider it. Thank you. Darrick Evenson

    • Dear Darrick Evenson:
      ……….There seems to be something missing in your above comment as you request Mademoiselle Jodi Ann Arias to consider starting a “Kidney for Klemency program”.
      …You HAVE NOT proclaimed your absolute belief that Mademoiselle Jodi is absolutely innocent.
      …You HAVE NOT requested that Judge Stephens & 24 of the 2 juries donate their kidneys while alive.
      …You HAVE NOT indicated that you have already donated one of your kidneys, just for the heck of it.
      …I Googled “Kidney for Klemency” and if Google does not list it, then it does not exist.
      …I even Googled “Kidney for Clemency” and I found something about a debate raging in Mississippi on whether it is right or not. …So, there is no such program, nor list of INNOCENT PEOPLE (not in prison) who are in it requesting clemency for an unknown person in prison.
      …The problem is that: …If Jodi Ann Arias would get into such a program, I say that it would have to be (AFTER) she is totally exonerated first & (AFTER) she is released from prison very, very, soon.
      …Do you have any good words for Ms Jodi Ann Arias?
      …Do you believe she is absolutely innocent?
      …Donations of vital organs for clemency is illegal in The United States of America, (IMHO).
      …I repeat: …Do you believe that Ms Jodi Ann Arias is totally innocent??? …I certainly do.
      …How about just accepting her long hair for cancer survivors? …MY God! …Isn’t that enough???

  1249. Dear Jodi,

    Hey from Australia, i wont crap on about your case, just know that randoms from all over the world(like myself) can see through the ***t and believe that you are innocent, take care, stay strong, many people are thinking of you at this moment and wishing you well.

    Andrew_11

  1250. Hi Jodi !! I wish the best for you..You are a intelligent and Very talented Lady…My heart goes out to you.. I hope for the best to you jodi.. I believe you have alot to give to world ..you need to be alive !!!

  1251. Hi Jodi,
    I know so many ppl who know you are keeping the truth hidden. And that is that travis was killed by a Mormon group for his behavior. BUt you refuse to name them because you only care about your family. You are a true hero, you don’t care about your own life. You are willing to do anything to protect your family. All the evidence proves it was a Mormon group. You had to get a gun because of all the threats you were getting, just like the one’s sent to Lisa about being pure. Travis having his tires slashed. Being followed. You would never leave travis alone because you knew you had to protect him, and they call this obsession. When you travelled you had to keep it secret so this group would not know. And the betrayal travis mentioned was that you were the only one who was going to the police against these Mormons. this would put travis out of the church. He was warned several times. it is obvious and there is concrete evidence. Please come forward and let the FBI protect you. There is hard evidence. the foot next to travis? that is you standing there protecting him. I know they kidnapped you and drove you around to scare you. this is why you could not call police. They left you alive for you to be living proof of what they can do. Please save yourself. You did all you could to protect travis and his friends, and they call you a monster. if it were not for you most would have had a terrible experience. so just come forward and finally say what happened that night.

  1252. Hi Jodi i have been watching your case for quite a while now and i really think that first degree murder charges are unfair since Travis was a real pedophile,i honestly believe you are innocent and i wish you nothing but the best,my thoughts are with you and your family best of luck to you in your battle for justice

  1253. Thinking of you today, Jodi. We don’t know each other, but I’ve written here a couple times. And I just listened to the you tube video of you singing my favorite Christmas song. This is my first Christmas ever in my life away from all of my family and I am sorry that you’ve had this experience more times than I probably even know. I’m sorry for what happened to you and I can relate. And I hope your day was as good as it could be today.

  1254. I know this isn’t your typical support letter, but then again, I’m not your typical supporter. Jodi, I support you. I do so regardless of whether or not you are guilty, because, innocent or not, you had no chance of a fair trial in this country. You didn’t deserve to be placed on blast in the media, because honestly, the act that you were convicted of is, sadly, not newsworthy at all. People kill their significant others. It happens. I am not trying to judge whether or not the reasons were justified. That’s not for me to do. What is extremely disturbing about your case, is the fact that thanks to Nancy Grace-ful as a Bull Swinging From Vines, the ever-pleasant Dr. Drew, and Eris only knows how many fucking tabloids, a personal tragedy became national “news”. Then, you had jurors who were expected (via the honor system) to not watch the coverage of your trial, when the media crucified you. You were convicted by the media, who told the nation to convict you. I don’t believe you’re dangerous. As a matter of fact, I find you to be a lovely woman who just had a shitty hand dealt by life, and I wouldn’t hesitate to be with you if you were freed. Keep your head up, and as Discordians say,

    There are no rules anywhere.
    The Goddess Prevails.

  1255. Jodi, I hope this message reaches you. There aren’t any words I could possibly write to comfort you, but please know that your plight has reached across the miles (UK) and has affected me. Please stay strong. I a praying for you daily. Hugs.

  1256. I don’t think it’s fair that Jodi hasn’t had a fair trail, that witnesses feel unable to testify because of hostility surrounding the case, and it’s unfair that the jury are being influenced by the media. Stay strong Jodi. I also have borderline personality, and that silly psychologist that testified against you hasn’t got a clue. The stigma and ignorance she perpetuates is upsetting.

  1257. I just wanted to congratulate Team Jodi on the second hung jury today (3/5/15), because as I understand it, that means life for Jodi, either with or without possibility of parole. This entire trial process has been an embarrassment of justice. Any woman who has been abused by a man (and that’s probably most of us) can recognize another woman who’s been the target of abuse. Jodi deserves parole, and I pray she gets it one day.

  1258. I hope judge stevens has been listening to that asshole nancy grace saying what a horrible job she’s done and keeps it in mind on april 13, then does the right thing and makes the sentence only 25 years. you hang in there Jodi. this whole thing has gone too far as it is! juan, nancy, jane, and the rest of them can all kiss your ass girl. somehow try to keep your chin up. I don’t know how anyone could beat the media storm that was brought down on you. you have and always will have my support Jodi, I think you are a beautiful person!

  1259. You’ve always had my unflagging support Jodi.

    I’ll write as soon as I find out for sure where you are as mail is slow from Portugal. Your current address may not be valid for delivery when a letter from here reaches you,

    I got your letter dated Jan 18 around the middle of February and you’ll probably be deluged with mail initially so a little delay probably won’t do any great harm.

    One thing I will do though is make sure I contribute to your Commmisary account immediately upon learning that you have been moved.

    As ever:

    Chin Up Lass

  1260. Jodi,

    Hang in there!! You are stronger then you think!! Don’t give up.. Your day to seek Justice will come.

    My thoughts are with you.. Kone

  1261. Whats happened to you Jodi is unfair, unjust and wrong.
    no one deserves to be mistreated in so many ways.

    stay strong Jodi.

    Thumbs up to juror #17 and all the supporters & Team Jodi.

  1262. Wow so many comments! Don’t know that you will ever see this Jodie, but I like your sass. You are so well spoken and the way that you hold your decorum on the stand is amazing! I’ve only heard about your situation in the last few days… Have not been able to stop watching vids of the trail and finding out more info about it! You are so interesting. I’ve been with a man like Travis, they lead you on behind closed doors then everyone thinks you’re mad for still wanting to be involved but they don’t get it! The worst kind of guy. I really hope you get the result you want. Sending positive vibes your way.

  1263. Hi Jodi… I commented here a few times before and just wanted to send a little more moral support your way. Even if you don’t see this, I’m hoping the best for you. Like I and many others have said before, having been through something so similar to what you went through, I understand and don’t think you’re crazy or evil. Wishing you strength and as much peace as possible.

  1264. I was in my forensics class (which your case inspired me to take) today and the made us watch parts of your trial (even though i keep up with it all) and i found it funny that they only showed the parts that made you look guilty and none of the stuff that showed you did not do it i know you did not do this and i wish you the best in this rough time and will make sure to keep you in my prayers when reading the scriptures i also would like to let you know that a lot of members in my ward think you did not do this as well

  1265. Hey Jodi, Hope all is well with you and I hope you will be freed from this hell soon. Appeals will bring you your freedom, no doubt about it. Just hang in there!!!

  1266. Jodi I Pray Everything Will Be Good As You Return To Court,
    Believe In Yourself, I Am Your Friend

  1267. No woman ever deserves to be abused. It always starts sexually. Then moves on from there. It’s really sad how a state ran by men think a man has the right to treat any woman like that. I could tell Jodi was abused. To what extent I don’t know. Abuse is not acceptable on any level. No one reports it because we are always doubted in some way. I hope you find peace and justice Jodi. This is just absurd. I’m sorry girl!!

  1268. My names also Jodie Ann, with an “e” obviously. Writing a paper about Jodi. Just have to say. She’s one interesting person. Someone i’d love to talk too.

  1269. Hi Jodi! I Just saw the Movie, You have been treated so badly . You are awesome! I like our artwork.
    <3 John

  1270. I am extremely upset by the abuse within the prison system! I don’t understand why we torture brothers and sisters who are already confined to so few choices. She did not get the death penalty so why kill a person slowly? Why cause psychological damage? We become the abusers when we kick someone who is already down.

    When can she recieve books and art supplies at least? Why are these things withheld from her? She has already proven she isnt going to use things like this to hurt herself or someone else! There is a very large oversized book on drawings of world famous artists…it is so amazing. Drawing is first step to becoming a great artist. I dont think her artistic talent is casual. I would like to buy this and some art supplies for her.

    When can she use a computer? This is a great site for accessing online world and historically preserved drawings from masters. http://zeroland.co.nz/directory/visual-arts/drawings

    In addition, my sense, what little I have seen through media, is that she would make an incredible crisis counselor and teacher. Does the prison system, where she is, have a crisis counselor that is an inmate?

    She should have books and videos teaching her how to teach and how to counsel, or whatever she wants to do in the system to help others. Jodi needs to help others.

    I’m not into name calling and even making opinions about the trial and repealing and all of that…I couldnt give an informed opinion on things. Until she gets out one way or the other, I’m trying to help supply some ideas, some little thing, that might benefit Jodi now.

    I also think it would help a lot of people if she wrote a book about coping and how to become more resilient in the prison system. I guarantee this would be a best seller! It would be like having a journalist on the inside. She could interview inmates and others. It may help people change.

    There are so many negatives to consider in this….but what about the positives? My concern is that she does not give up becoming who her Heavenly Father wants her to become. He wants her to expand her talents and to find joy in serving Him…She has an opportunity to serve Him in a way that few others can…

    Sometimes we need to make a huge mistake before we come to a point where we can feel His Love for us. Love is the only way to truely forgive someone who has so messed us over. She was messed over herself. She wasn’t alright then. That doesn’t mean she can’t be alright now and ahead.

    Last time I looked at the literature I did not see anything positive coming from massive incarceration in this Country. What if Jodi is the person to find a way to help people to change from the inside. She would single handedly change the entire system. There is no doubt that she is a very bright shining star.

    Finally:

    just some thoughts not intending to injure or inflame anyone…”just saying” kinds of things

    Of all of Heavenly Father’s children, why did He not intervene in this matter? Why did He allow her the free agency to carry through with this ? He could have thrown a block almost anywhere, but He did not. He did not protect Travis or Jodi in their decisions. She was vulnerable and he took advantage.

    Because He did not intervene, somewhere in there I think there is a way out of this mess for them both. They are both in prison in a sense. He is without his physical body and the plasticity to change this brings, we are told, (takes much longer to change in the spiritual body than in the flesh we are told.) She is in the physical body, but is in a little box, surrounded by people who do not have her best interest at heart. These are in need of her or are for the facility or themselves, I am sure…there may be some exceptions to this, but I am sure there are few.

    One thing I know for sure because I have experienced this myself, and seen this change the lives of people and make burdens light…..is that there is a way through this.. Life is so, so, so short. it does not seem that way when we are living it, but in retrospect, it is short and then we live forever.

    I so want for Jodi to have joyous homecoming when she is greeted on the other side. I am fasting and praying for her now. If we all combine the power in a unified prayer, she might feel this and know she is loved by her Father in Heaven and that she still has brothers ands sisters beyond her family and extended family that do want good things for her.

    I am so amazed that there are people who want her to be hurt. You dont need to post this…just tell Jodi when you see her…….its not over for you Jodi!!!

    • Kathleen, what sweet thoughts for Jodi. Jodi is an amazing woman and is doing everything she possibly can to help others who find themselves in similar situations. I truly believe Jodi is one of God’s children and will be guided and protected as she continues to work through this difficult time in her life. It’s sad that Travis and Jodi were caught up in the evil web of deceit that they found themselves. Thanks be to God for saving Jodi’s life. She will continue to be a Blessing to anyone who actually is able to know the real Jodi and not the one that the media portrayed her to be. . .she is nothing like they have accused her of. One day all of those who created and orchestrated the lies about Jodi will be sorry for their part in this horrible injustice. The truth will come to light and we will make sure of it. Thank you for your kindness, very refreshing. ♥

  1271. hey Jodi haven’t commented in a while have been busy you need to stay strong the prosecutor and justice system let you down travis got what he deserved.i hope your legal team will find something left out of other trial.i hope it does not take too long so you can get back to living your life . that’s why both juries could not decide on life in prison or death they were pressured into guilty verdict. as I said stay strong and believe me when I say this travis got what he deserved. god bless you always and forever. luv ya frank l

  1272. Jodi, My name is Kevin Curtis. I am a professional Singer/Songwriter/Activist. I have worked years for the “Wrongfully accused/convicted” which may be another reason I was Framed & wrongfully accused of sending Ricen to the President of the United States in April of 2013. Thankfully, ONE ATTORNEY out of thousands stepped up to the plate & visited me in my prison cell, asked me “Did you do it”? I said “No, I did not”. She looked into my eyes and took my case Pro Bono and represented me 3 days later as the Feds were destroying my home looking for Ricin or SOME WAY to link me to the crimes. As an Activist, I have acquired MANY enemies & gang stalkers. I know first hand the legal/justice/court/prison system is BROKEN and it’s WHO YOU KNOW. I have been falsely arrested over 20 times in the last 15 years so TRUST ME when I say “I KNOW HOW IT WORKS & WHO IT WORKS FOR”. Now that the introductions have taken place, I want to tell you I wrote the Perryville Prison system and asked to visit you. I also went online and filled out paper work to try and visit you as well as visit the prison and perform a Free Concert for inmates. I know how this lifts the spirit on the inside. 🙂 We live in a world FULL of judgement. “Christians” are the worst for this. I do not judge. I am praying for you and for justice to be served 1000%. I do believe in miracles Jodi. I also know that ACTION can move mountains. I hope that someone you know (on the outside) contacts me ASAP and whoever is listed to visit you or take calls from you PLEASE put my name down at prison for “Visitation”. Your story has captured my heart and soul. As a victim to the broken system that almost destroyed MY LIFE, I have to say that there IS HOPE but you HAVE to believe and KNOW in your heart that all things happen for a reason good, bad or indifferent. I have faith in you. I feel we will meet soon. I will keep writing the prison in Perryville as they did not approve me b/c my name was not listed on visitation list. My letter is signed by Carol Ortiz Deputy Warden. Whoever moderates this site, Please email me at Kevincurtislive (@) aol (dot) Com
    Thank you so much in advance and God bless you Jodi! (((HUGS)))

  1273. hey Jodi how areyou feeling sorry I have not commented in a whilei have been busy with my back injury. you Jodi re a amazing person and a beautiful women I got a lot of negative posts sying I was wrong for supporting you they can go kiss it as far as im concerned . I really pray to god that you are granted your appeal and the jury will see that you were acting in self defense . a lot of posts I got said you were not travis;s girlfriend but a stalker . they are wrong you were an abused women and the bastard got what he deserved . again stay strong and keep your faith love nd respect frank lewis

  1274. Merry Christmas beautiful one. I wish you could enjoy it on the outside but remember Jesus loves those who suffer on the inside too. May you have a good new year and may blessings come your way.

  1275. Hi

    I just wanted to know if it is possible to write Jodi from outside of the USA?
    This might sound like a stupid question but I can imagine (if she wants to write back) the cost of sending a letter back to Belgium is way higher than national USA mail. If I want her to write back, should I include something ?

    Thanks for your help !

    Kind regards
    Ella

  1276. Jodi,
    Following your trail down under in Brisbane Australia and can l say over here we are really strong on Women’s domestic violence. Although our laws are different and you don’t fear no death penalty here no women who is subject to domestic violence at all should ever face the death penalty or life in jail if in fear of their life.
    I pray that the American people see things the same way us Australians do don’t sound like it but you don’t deserve to be punished for one mistake and not given the chance to amend your sins.

    I’m sure your a beautiful and hopefully one day you will see the outside’s of those prison walls as a free lady.
    Watching down under lets hope one the jury realise that every man should treat their women like they would want another man to treat their daughter

  1277. Just another message of support because you deserve it. I know that emails can’t take away the pain of your day to day life, but I also know that messages can lift someone up when they need it most. I’m sorry for what you’ve been through and are going through. I hope the best for you. Sending good thoughts your way.

  1278. Hi jodi, i feel for you every day and am thinking of you always. I know you loved travis but he was just someone who used women for his own sexual need’s.
    You are a stuning lady with alot of tallents in life that could of took you above and beyond, i really whish you hadn’t of met this bloke!
    Travis wasn’t the pillar of society that he was made out to be in the trial, and there are alot of people out hear who know that. You have stayed strong throughout all this so please keep staying strong as you have alot of people who do support you.
    Lots of love jodi
    Take care
    Will

  1279. Hey Jodi, I’ve been following your case for a while. I hope the judge lessens your sentence. You totally deserve a second chance and I know you were an abused woman who reacted to her abusive boyfriend. I wish the judge saw it that way too. Hoping that you’ll see a day where you can be paroled if the judge allows it! You definitely do not deserve life. Our justice system is messed up.

  1280. Jodi, you made a terrible mistake early in your life, but as a Cancerian man, I understand your emotions. I am so sorry your life took this direction, and I only wish you had realised a man who treats you like a booty call is not worthy of your time. You didn’t realise your worth, that you are a beautiful woman inside and out, and you deserve a man who will love and honour you, just as you would him. Many of us, myslelf included would have been devoted to you. Like many, I wish I could take you back in a time machine and made you take a different direction, got you to seek professional help for your aching heart. Travis would still be alive and you would be a beatuful mother I’m sure. I’m angry at how the vicious mainstream media have milked this tragedy and bled it dry, they have no morals at all. I know you are not the monster they say you are, I believe in you Jodi, and I will until the day I day. I am over 5,000 miles away in England, United Kingdom, but know that I think of you all the time. I am inpired by your courage in difficult circumstances, and you have made me realise I must procrastinate no more over my goals and dreams. Stay strong Jodi, I love you. x

  1281. Jodi, I am saddened by this tragedy and wish I could turn back the clock for you. You made a terrible mistake, but you are human, and we all make mistakes to one degree or another. I am also deeply saddened by the way the vicious, money grabbing mainstream media sought to demonise you for their own selfish gain, an absolute disgrace which does not afford them any high moral ground.

    My birthday is 3 days before yours on the 6th, and I know that despite out faults, us Cancerians have good hearts, both Princess Diana and his Holiness the 14th Dalia Lama are testament to that. What you are in reality, is someone that got caught up in powerful emotions, and I believe in you Jodi, I believe that underneath all that what occurred from early 2008 onward, you are not that vessel of evil that has been portrayed, and I believe you are truly sorry for what cannot be reversed.

    The biggest tragedy of all is that you were just a couple that were wrong for each other, and the lives of two families have been torn apart as a result. I wish you had realised your own worth Jodi, what he told you in those emails was wrong, you are not worthless, you are not any of those others things he taunted you with. I believe he knew he was wrong to say those things deep down. I wish you had know that somewhere out there was the right man for you, a man that will devote himself to you, just as you would to him.

    You are a beautiful woman Jodi, and you inspire me with your strength and courage in such difficult circumstances. I too, as a cancerian often procrastinate, but usually through lack of self-confidence, but you have made me evaluate my purpose on this planet, and I will follow my dreams and do everything I can to achieve my goals. This is because of you Jodi, you have shown me the power of positive thinking. I am over 5000 miles from you in England, but my thoughts are with you daily. I will pray for you, pray that America will see the true you, instead of the one portrayed by the media. Keep strong and know that many thousands of us are sending you positive thoughts. xxx

  1282. Jodi, I have written to you by mail twice and both letters were never answered, so I have no idea if you received them. My name is Dr. John Zullo. I have two published novels: Hiacin House and The Delford Redemption. I would like to write a pro- Jodi Arias book. Please get back to me and let me know if this is something you would want. Thank you.

  1283. Jodi . I am Jason Walker from Brisbane , Australia . I want you to know i sense good in you xo I wish your life had a better path. I am learning about your court case and your situation and as I said before , i can sense good in you . Your bright , your beautiful , your sweet and yes there is something amazing about your spirit . Thinking of you xo

  1284. Jodi. I wasn’t there and didn’t even watch the trial. However, I advise you, guilty or not, To seek forgiveness in Christ. Relentlessly pray and study the bible. You have time to do this, so do it! It’s very important! God forgives everyone. If you aren’t guilty, you could still be sent to hell for the other sins in your life! God can change you! It’s very important!

  1285. Jodi,

    Its been a couple years since I have written but want you to know that I have not forgotten you. People are still arguing over truths. Some truths are very obvious. One truth is that Travis had it coming to him. He was a false prophet. He hid behind his religion as a shield to use people, particularly women. He used you and abused you…then kicked you to the curb. So whether or not it was planned matters not to me. Sometimes urban justice is the only justice we have. I admire your guts to implement it on someone who truly deserved it. I hope you get out of there soon.

  1286. Jodi,

    I have watched all your documentaries and movie. It’s beyond sad how you were treated at your trial. Hopefully you will get out one day and be able to start your life again. Much prayers for you sweetheart. Stay positive.. And, you’re stunningly beautiful!!

  1287. Only someone who has been emotionally abused and used by the person they love can understand what you felt. I understand. Stay strong ❤️

  1288. I know this must be so hard on you. A life sentence is a ridiculous sentence. I don’t have any money but I’d be glad to provide you with some moral support through letters. I am a Swiss woman aged 45 (living in Switzerland, Europe). God bless you. Please keep up the fight. Don’t allow a biased justice system to trample you down.
    If you are interested in a snail mail correspondance with me, please send me your adress. I don’t know the name of the prison where you are staying.
    I am a Christian but not a Mormon, I am a white woman in a relationship with a black man, so you would need to accept that in order for me to feel comfortable exchanging with you.
    Once more, please stay strong. I hope to hear from you soon, Séverine

    • Severine, Jodi may receive mail and here is her address for you. She loves receiving mail and when she has time she will answer.
      Thank you for caring and sharing. 🙂

  1289. Its absolutely reprehensible that justice has been so perverted in Jodi’s case (and undoubtedly many, many others’). Its heartbreaking to witness so many “people” willing to burn Jodi at the stake without looking at the facts and examining the evidence in detail for themselves. All too often the true facts of a case are kept out of court, and that in itself is counterproductive to Justice being served. What a society this is. And I’m certain it was by grand design that it is the way it is.

    There is a lot more to life than what most people are aware. For example, there are a number of government/military programs deeply entrenched in discovering ways to control the population, form the inside out. This is a deep, dark habit-hole that most people wouldn’t dare enter, sadly enough, but they have to, for everyone’s life and freedom are at stake. Jodi’s case is a prime example.

    My point in stating the above is this: it is entirely possible if not plausible that Jodi is yet another example of a targeted individual – someone who is at the mercy of “controllers” with access to technology designed to take over (or at least overwhelm) a victim’s mind and body, inserting thoughts, words, etc. into them which the unsuspecting victims believe to be their own. There are many, MANY documented examples of this all over the internet today.

    One such high-profile (yet highly “hushed”) example in Canada would be Rohonie Bisezar, the young woman who stabbed and killed a total stranger inside a busy underground shopping district in Toronto for no apparent reason. This woman has been labelled as crazy and bizarre, her lawyers trying to get her to plead insanity. Yet, she refuses, claiming she knows something is inside of her (a chip or implant of some sort) that causes her to hear voices telling her to do things, and actually taking control over her limbs, her voice, etc. It is entirely possible this same sort of thing has been happening to Jodi, likely via the LDS Church, Mormonism, and the Hughes Brothers.

    This needs to be looked into, and Jodi must be made aware of this so that she can begin to put the pieces together in her own mind of how this has occurred to her and to Travis. Travis, as it appears, was a sacrifice (by the Hughes family and more specifically by his “best and life-long friend” Chris Hughes. Travis admitted to not knowing Chris very well at the time he met him (despite the media repeatedly blaring they were great and lifelong friends). Chris, in his own words, admitted that he “waited a long time to meet someone like Travis.” It is my assertion that he used Travis’s life to up his own position in the world, as many, many other humans do around the world (information which has been steadily coming to light over the last few decades). Sad, and completely unimaginable for most of people, but nonetheless very true.

    Every cell in my body intuits that she (and Travis) are both victims of targeting in some sense. Travis was chosen to be killed in a blood atonement style killing, and Jodi was chosen to be their scapegoat. If Travis was killed by her hand, it surely wasn’t due to her own choosing, but via technology control over her mind/body at the time. However, it may have very likely been at the hand of another present at the scene on June 4 2008, but Jodi wouldn’t necessarily have any memory of it. Its known as neuro-experimentation/mind control and its happening to countless people all over the world.

    There are far more discrepancies in this case than there are facts. So much doesn’t make sense. From the very get go, Jodi, as MANY others, did NOT understand her rights, because they do not wish us to know our rights. Had she truly understood the Miranda warning, she wouldn’t have uttered a word to the corrupt police (who are undoubtedly in cahoots in some manner or form with the people/organizations involved in doing this to Jodi, Travis, and countless others).

    Please, look into this for Jodi, and for the rest of humanity. There is plenty of information available, I am by no means an expert in this area, but I am be happy to be of service in any way I can.

    Please read through this link to learn about (if presently unknown) a similar case in which euro-experimentation and mind-control has put another young, innocent woman behind bars: https://everydayconcerned.net/2017/02/13/victim-of-neuro-experimentation-rohinie-bisesar-reports-abuse-in-canadian-jail-system/

    Please send my best to Jodi. Her life is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. We will win.

  1290. Jodi, I just discovered you and your case and I’ve been through similar emotions as you seem to have been through. I’m currently dealing with some abusive relationships, both with family members but also with an ex who used me and were unfaithful, amongst other things. I often doubt the possibility of justice in another life, if there will be one, and that leads me to thoughts about me having the right to create my own justice, even if it’s against the law. However, I’m not going to take those thoughts into actions but I understand that you did. To be fair and honest, I wonder how that night/evening was for you both and what happened. I wonder what your thoughts were like when you did it and what made you do it. I can’t imagine the pain you were going through that made you allow yourself to end it that way. I could never do it and I don’t, even for a second, believe that you could repeat it. And if someone could, I think they need help… Because pain like that is nothing someone should be put through…

    I admire you for being so honest and I also admire your strenght to go on with and in life, until today. I want to apologize if anything I’ve written to you in this text is negative because I don’t want to cause anything like that for you. I want you to be happy and I think you’ve served your time and that your heart is pure now, if it ever was anything else at a certain time in your past life.

    I’ve seen your art and think it’s beautiful. You’re very talented and I hope you decide to write a book someday that includes everything you’ve felt, known and been through. It may cause harm to you or your family so I understand if you don’t do it because of that, but I’m sure many would like to read and hear from you and it would help the world too.

    If you’ve given the opportuniy, listen to P. J.Harvey. I think you’ll enjoy her music and lyrics.

    I wish you the best and with this message I hope to give you some justice and everything good. You’re intelligent and beautiful. Stay strong and pure. People who defend you are on the right side, beside you. Best regards and God bless, beautiful Jodi.

  1291. Unlike another person’s message, I cannot say I have always been on your side. In fact, I never thought I would say it. Today, I looked a little deeper than what salacious trial coverage was shown in the media (and trumped-up by Nancy Grace). I was surprised and disgusted that, from the initial interview with police (where the interviewer makes comments such as, “You can say I’ve seen *all* of you” in leering implication), onward, you were treated with misogynistic condescension, objectification, and demonized by anyone and everyone. You were persecuted, for being a healthy, vivacious and attractive woman who was becoming confident in her sexuality and expressing it. They tore you apart like a pack of wild dogs – like a Jezebel for putting on make-up, for being flirtatious, for talking about your body. If you acted remote or sad, they said you were cold. If you acted your own bubbly, charming self, they labled you as unfeeling and narcissistic. Everyone took a bite.

    They capitalized on the same sexuality they condemned. The comments I have read on the sites about you are sickening, directed at your sexuality and your awareness of it. They painted you as guilty for your appearance and for having sex. By refusing to release the defense attorney from your case he retaliated by writing a book about you – slandering you and saying you were flirting with him, (a gross allegation and hard to believe, looking at him and his age vs. you and your age), but also WHY? What is wrong with him and this society that an attractive girl flirting is treated like a crime? I can only imagine what else as I have no intention of lining his pockets at the cost of your reputation and that of all women and girls by buying his book.

    I am so incredibly sorry your attorneys failed you and the judge failed you. He dropped the ball on filing for your appeal, but I could easily fill a book on all your so-called defense did wrong.

    I am sorry this is somewhat rambling, but I am much more sorry that you are incarcerated not due to your actions, rather the failure of the justice system and that you were denied your constitutional right to a fair trial. You were not defended. You were martyred.

  1292. Hi, from Spain

    I dont know if this is still active, the link below doesn’t work so I will write my comment here, not sure if it will be readed.

    It’s only now in 2018 that I have knowledge of this case and as many others before me, has made my heart cry, and my mind think so much, poor Jodi, I can only feel sorry for you, not only you are not a monster, you are a very sensible and special person, the kind that usually get hurted in this world, no matter how full of love or reasons you are, and I am sure you have felt bullied al your life, not just now that you have been so unjustly treated and on top of all, so exposed to the whole world.

    From here I send you all my best feelings, I hope you find some peace and are loved in some way, because you deserve it, you deserve to be loved. The news about how are your life in jail is, are not very clear for what I read, hope its bereable for you. I hope too that you have someone to talk to about your feelings and thougts, and get some confort, from it.

    The first time I knew about your case was wacthing the new lifetime movie, even though it is full of lies, as I have read , I saw through it , I saw the poor girl abused and used, as many girls and women before, I saw how this girl looked for a piece of love in the garbage, or wherever she could find it, searching for someone to love and be loved, not seeing any faults in the person she choosed to whorshipe. We have all been there, many of us , and we can clearly see what this girl ,even in this bad movie, is feeling.
    Then I searchde on google and found out that it was based on reality, and I was surprised to see that, first of all, you are much prettier, not that this is important per se, not the prettines. but the eyes, the smile, the expresion of love and kindness, this is important, no one can be that good at acitng a part, those qualities are visible to anyone who really looks and speak for themselves. I simpathised whith you inmediatly, and started to search more. I know very well what it is to love a man so much, and do anything , anything, to be loved by him

    I saw parts of the trial, I saw your interview with 48 fox, and others, specially that one moved me so much, when you talked to the interviewer about his daughters… the comments they do about you are completely unfair and exagereted, and that is one of the many reasons for me to stay by your side, if no other resaon , at least be fair to someone who is being treated so badly and injustly so,. I believe you did it in self defense, and I`m surprised he did not attacked you before , it was a matter of time. I think your trial was unjust, you did not have a good proper defense, to start with, and that is very obviuous seeing the videos. I see too that you had to open your eyes about the real HE during the trial, before all America, and that you realized what have happened to you very late…you must be very strong to go under that stress and still be alive,. Jodi. I wish you all the best, there are people in this world that can see trough all the lies and hipocresy. I am with you.

    Elena

  1293. All I can say is hopefully justice will be served. Many questions still plague me to this day after seeing the Lifetime movie and courtroom drama on HULU and reading about this on the internet. I want to know who did this then? How could you move that body and what really happened? If Travis was as perverse as you claim was he murdered by someone who knew he was a fake Mormon. Why were you there in the first place since you broke up with each other? Why hold on to a person who made you feel less of a person/woman?

    So many haunting questions to say the least and I’m sure that you hold the key to these answers. If you literally just lost it what can we say or do? No one is perfect and we all make mistakes but when it comes to murder we have to ask many questions???? If you are reading this Jodi I hope you are finding [peace no matter what role you played in this murder. Jesus Christ forgave those who persecuted and killed him so I am sure that you shall be forgiven too. As far as Travis goes all I can say is that he has met his maker face to face and God knows his true self. You cant BS the lORD no matter what you may think to be true.

    • “…after seeing the Lifetime movie …”

      Like really? You know that this trash B movie (although I “love” the main actress since her appearance in “Malcom in the Middle” and “Lost ” – but it’s a shame for ANY person to take part/appear in this trash actually – really disappointing for me) is merely a fictional movie? I have read already that there are people who actually take this trash movie for granted but I couldn’t beleive it that anybody could be so naive to express is very diplomatically.

      That Travis was a deeply sick, hypocritical, bigot and pathetic pervert and coward is proven out of his own mouth btw.- regarding the pedophilia stuff I mean not their very harmless and common sex games. I do much kinkier stuff but with respect for each other while this asshole had no respect for her whatsoever, not even traces of respect, but that’s the key and essential when you play kinky stuff, otherwise it’s just toxic and sick..
      I wonder too why she felt she was bound to this flubby and small guy who treated her like shit, a guy who was a fraud, personally and job – wise since he was working in a scam business with no substance or even any education needed, the scam insurance contract sales part and the “motivational speaking” (lol) which happened in front of an over and over brainwashed and easy audience and has no substance in it as well. What a loser. I bet Jodi had like 10 better options on each on her 10 fingers, character and optical-wise.
      I agree though that there are many questions which are not asnwered – I can’t answer them as well – but that’s the very reason this verdict and sentencing was just not right because “reasonable doubt”.
      I can’t even express my disgust for this one witch juror who even excused in front of the pathetic “christian/mormon death penalty wishing” Alexander family that Jodi got no death sentence. This juror is an example for the worst mankind has to offer, as well as the low-life Alexander family on a revenge mission no matter what an asshole Travis was and how he contributed to what happened.

  1294. Dear Jodi, I am a law school graduate and I do agree that the sentence given to you was excessive. I definitely don’t believe you deserved life. Although I consider myself more aligned with the conservatives, I strongly support criminal reform and believe we should have a system that resembles Norway. I believe in God and while I think the crime was awful, I still believe no human being is irredeemable. I wish you the best of luck with your appeals. I hope principles of mercy and forgiveness will reign. You were so young and some guys can really mess with the heads of women.

  1295. Sending positive thoughts and kind wishes to you Jodi – I pray that the appeal has a positive outcome. The jurors will hopefully be a bit more intelligent next time around too, and with more evidence and less bias towards your defense. It means a lot to me to see a just outcome in this very complex case.

  1296. Dear Jodi,

    You beautiful woman. I have believed that you aren’t guilty since Day 1. I’m 100% behind you to this day. I’ve supported you for 12 years. I won’t stop now. Keep fighting. I know you can do this. I’m so sorry you’ve been hurt in such a horrific manner.

    – Love,
    Me and the hundreds of others behind you

  1297. hey girl,
    I hope you are doing well and keeping up with the art!
    Just wanted to let you know I’m routing for you and thank you for being strong enough to express the physical and emotional abuse you endured with TA. I was in a relationship with someone that didn’t teat me well (cheating, mind games, hot n cold), and after learning more about your case – how he mistreated you emotionally and physically – it helped me to recognize that I needed to get away from him. xox

  1298. Hello Jodi, sweet girl,

    I am writing from central Europe and I am really concerned about how a love-story can end nowadays. This is not new to me, anyhow.
    I can’t judge and I don’t want to, if You are guilty or not. I am biased, because I like You. You make me think of one of my loves…tempi passati as well!!

    I don’t want to believe You are a murderer and rationally speaking, the deed somehow does not fit into the hole picture. Why should You stalk and kill Your Ex? There is thousands of love stories ending up with “resentment” and other kinds of “negative emotions” – to put it this way…You were and are pretty and strong enough to find another boy as good as the former one. Why should You do all that stuff? I can’t imagine.

    And – the media reports I saw so far were lousy, absolutely lowest category – poor girl, it’s tough to live in the States. So much crap around, incredible.
    A pity Your love-story didn’t work, the circumstances were against You and Your love. Your smiles on the posted fotografs and the facts show how big Your expectations must have been with Your boyfriend.
    We in Europe say with a twinkle in Love and War everything is allowed. And indeed love can be very cruel – it’s paradise and hell at the same time. There would be a lot to say about that, but it’s not the space and time…

    You are in a difficult situation now, wether You are guilty or not and You deserve being supported – You are a very popular person as well. Be smart and try to use the interest in Your case and person for Your means. Write Your own book, Jodi.

    I don’t know, if these lines will ever reach You – I wish You sincerely another chance in Your life, Jodi – may the beauty of Your smile be a promise of a future love and life waiting for You, keeping somehow what You expected and fulfilling You the way You need, involving body heart and soul – to avoid that I talk like a priest…

    I wish You luck with upcoming trials, if there are planned any.
    Maybe this time You can handle a big love
    If You want – write me back.
    Greetings from the Alps

  1299. Hey Jodi, I hope you are doing OK these days. I just became aware of your story recently, and I’ve been watching over all of it. Throughout this whole thing, I have just noticed so many men being rude, demeaning, and straight up hostile to you. Regardless of our actions, no one deserves that at all, especially not you. The whole time you were on the witness stand I was so angry at how the prosecutor was treating you. That must’ve been so scary, especially experiencing trauma from men in the past.

    If you get these messages still, I hope you and your family have a nice holiday season these next two months. You deserve peace and happiness 🙂

  1300. Hey all,

    I just came across Jodi’s story. As shocking as it is I can’t get past the fact that she was mistreated during her trials. I haven’t seen anything so aggressive from prosecutors. The fact that he was fired says it all. Plus it’s totally plausible she had done this in self-defense. This whole trial is basically about (dis)respecting women.

    I don’t know how things work in the USA, but I’m surprised I haven’t seen any petition for her justice anywhere to sign. If we get enough signatures for a certain petition here in Europe, the government actually has to make that happen. I am proposing you start a petition. I am sure a lot of people would sign it.

    Laws over there are strict enough already, we should be able to vote on certain people’s faith as a society. She deserves a second chance, as anyone does.

    Wishing all the best!

  1301. Hi Mark,

    It’s not just plausible. She really did defend herself and Travis died as a result of her defending herself. I would invite you to read all of the information that this site provides which will give you much more insight into Jodi’s case and her current appeals. In addition, I would also invite you to read a “Wikipedia” type page that was created by another supporter JustusForUsAll. It is extremely informative.

  1302. Hi Jodi

    Several months ago I reached out to a friend of mine who is good friends with Kris Jenner (Kim Kardashian’s mom). I appealed to Kris to have Kim look at your case and suggest President Trump pardon you. I have received word back that Kim is indeed looking at your case and while there may not be time for her to review the case before Trump leaves office, she will try. I don’t know if you know, but Kim is good friends with President Trump and he has pardoned a couple of people at her request. She is studying for the bar and hopes to be an attorney soon.

    I wish you all the luck in the world and best wishes for 2021.

  1303. Hi , I agree with you.
    Usa should study the wonderful book story ” crime n punishment ” of Dostwieski. When a crime happens its not only a individual mistake..but many factors create a crime.
    The justice looks so brutal in USA..if J.Arias had put to death or spend her all life in prison.Travis cant come back.Arias should be punish but not to exhaust her life.I think Jodi Arias have to be released. All people can do a mistake all people have to have a second change.Think the robber on the cross he is the first in the paradise.Americans have to undersantd the conditions when a crime happens n to ask a more human justice system.Vioelnce increase teh violence.

  1304. Hi, I really don’t know if this will ever get to you personally, Jodi, but I’m very interested in you and your story as a person. Everything fascinates me about you, I recently just binged watched and read so many articles about your case, and also blog posts of those who support you. I am one of those people, Brookelynne, is my name, and I am actually going to start writing a paper on you, as a student in high school. It makes me sick that the media can portray such a terrible image of someone, like they have done to you. I look forward to a time where I sit down and write a letter to you. Hopefully you can write me back, and a friendship can come of it. I look to you as a sense of strength and resilience, Thank you Jodi!

  1305. Hi Jodi!
    Just wanted to let you know that so many people are routing for you. I want to help you and also let you know that I’m here for you. You’ll be free someday and then able to finally live your life.

  1306. Hi Jodi,

    Sending love and support from Australia and Vietnam. We wish you both the best, and believe in your innocence. We wish you all the best, and hope that one day you will be free. Stay strong, and have faith.

    Love, Alfie + Nadia xoxo

  1307. Hi captivating and unique beauty i sending you love and support from Turkey and hope that one day you will be free.

  1308. Jodi! We love you – you have so many supporters and fans who have your back 100%. Stay strong, justice WILL prevail!

  1309. Jodi, I don’t believe you’re guilty. You needed a better attorney. I hope you get out very soon. Our justice system is broken. I’ll be praying for you.

  1310. Hi Jodi. I like your quiet demeanor and admire you for your talents. Your artwork is amazing. I also like how you enjoy reading. I’m glad you are with us and pray that you can get released soon. You have many talents.

  1311. I’ve been in relationships with LDS girls and me and my family are assigned to operate the rest of out lives in good old Mesa, AZ. We’re originally from Orange County California. I wish I knew how to get a response from my Jodi.

  1312. Hi Jodi: I hope your doing ok in there, I am a prof woman, social worker and into Psychology, I have to tell you, you did not get a fair trial because Martinez was badgering you the whole time, who could think straight, I know you want to get out of there, I wish i could help you, I feel your pain, keep striving and keep busy till you can get out, i hope one day.

    Arizona is very strict compared to NJ where i am, it would have been called, “A Crime of Passion” meaning you lost control in the heat of the moment, Calif too, but Arizona is a tough place to be. I did my masters degree in AZ.

    I love your art, teaching, singing, etc and hope to god you can get out one day, Keep trying. I lived in Calif for 5 years also, Southern than San Fran for undergrad work. Im praying for you and your family and wish you could find a way out if Travis was not treating you right, but you should have stayed away from him and this would not have happened. Your in my thoughts and prayers young lady. Stay strong. I dont know how bad it is in the there.

    Debbie from NJ

  1313. Jodi you are amazing and know you have plenty of support from people all around the country. Stay strong and keep up the amazing artwork.

  1314. Hello Dear Jodi,
    My wishes for you:
    a trial that exonerates you of all charges.
    Peace.
    Love.
    Happiness.
    I do not know you personally, but you are very attractive and I would love to someday meet you.
    I am not obsessed with you by any means, I just feel you need a secure, loving man who will be dedicated to you always. Please know that I pray you will be released someday and be able to love a man, be happy and raise a family, without guilt or shame. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jodi. Jim

  1315. I love you Jodi and I pray fervently for your freedom and the correction and reversal of this horror of injustice. I donated to the JAA site and I will donate again. May God comfort you somehow. Please, if you are allowed, write to me any time you want. I am a good listener on hard days. –Ricky Williams

  1316. Hi Jodi,
    It pains me that you were tried and convicted without any real evidence. But know you will be released soon and what a glorious day that will be! I have so much admiration for you Jodi your incredible inner strength, talented artist, kind and caring person ,just a beautiful human being! You have much love and support from me and countless others.
