A formidable combination. Never let it be said that my post titles are boring.

Ok…

I’m covering quite a bit of ground here, but do you recall Tuesday afternoon’s testimony from Darryl Brewer (Jodi’s ex)… where Kirk Nurmi asked him if sex with Jodi ever included little boys underwear, dressing Jodi in little girl costumes and/or performing various sexual acts with her?

Well, that may directly tie in with the very brief yet equally interesting testimony from Lonnie Dworkin yesterday, the forensic computer examiner guy.

After analyzing the results of the hard drive on TA’s laptop — and the various sites TA visited between 4am-4.30am on the morning of June 4^th — Dworkin mentioned one particular result… that being the YouTube movie relating to the proxy server, titled “free web proxy-air-proxy.com”. Click here to watch it on YouTube.

A proxy server, for the uninitiated, is a site you would visit, within which you would then enter the website address you wanted to visit, and you’d visit it using a proxy IP address different to your own… subsequently leaving no trace of your IP address on the server of the site you visited.

Proxy sites are typically used by pedo’s when accessing child porn sites, although they can of course be used for other privacy related reasons too like attempted hacking, malicious posting, accessing “blocked” websites and surfing porn sites from home/work for example.

Assuming TA wasn’t attempting to hack into his own website (or anyone else’s), it’d be safe to say he was covering his tracks and not wanting anyone to know where he’d visited. It’d therefore be very interesting to know the sites he typically visited via the proxy server he used. I’m guessing there’ll be more on the subject next week when Lonnie Dworkin resumes his testimony, initially armed with the already infamous “penis pics” he was inadvertently waving around.

Roll all that together with the “little boys underwear”, “dressing Jodi in little girl costumes”, “performing various sexual acts with her” — and not forgetting the initial statement pertaining to a 12 year old girl in pigtails having an orgasm — and it goes a long way to validating the letters and Jodi’s earlier TA-pedophile claims – does it not?

It also makes you wonder just how much Chris & Sky Hughes really knew about TA’s child addiction (and the physical/verbal abuse he inflicted upon Jodi in private), and whether they’ll continue to cover for him now that Chris’ blackmail attempt on Mr X has been rumbled. Remember Sky’s initial reaction to one of TA’s letters too, where she specifically referenced TA’s age of attraction? Yet another reason why Kirk wants to get Sky’s ass in the witness box and not over the phone.

So after all that, should we really be surprised that Mouthpiece Martinez was hopping mad and having a meltdown during the overly-extended recess yesterday?

I think we’ll put today down as a bit of a drab draw for both sides. The only memorable moment in this objection-riddled day being Martinez’ impromptu “shock & awe” stunt, where he wheeled out one of the autopsy photographs for Lisa Daidone without any prior warning. Desperate times call for desperate measures? It certainly looks that way.

In the meantime, we’ll continue rise above all the BS, stay strong and stay focused on our ultimate objective – that being Jodi’s freedom.

There’s no other way to put this. Chris Hughes is a lying bastard. And when his newly subpoenaed wife takes the stand, she’s not gonna be too far behind him.

Hughes already confirmed he’s firmly on the prosecution’s side, so sure he’s gonna do all he can to fly the flag for them, including stating to the media (on behalf of Martinez) that the TA letters were forged – even though he knows they were not. He knows, having seen some of them, that they’re genuine. He even wrote to TA to tell him he wasn’t treating Jodi right.

In fact both Chris Hughes (and his wife, Sky) emailed Travis telling him he was being abusive to Jodi back in 2007. They also discussed TA’s “age of attraction” when it comes to young girls, which (as far as I recall) Sky was somewhat surprised at. This ties together the earlier pedophile rumors pertaining to TA and his preference for pigtails & 12 years old’s, does it not?

But here’s the thing… both Chris & Sky Hughes KNOW only too well that TA was both physically & verbally abusive to Jodi. 2 other people know that too… Gus Searcy and Mr X.

Hughes also had a much earlier conversation with Esteban Flores (as relayed by Kirki Nurmi yesterday prior to Martinez’ objection), where Flores asked Hughes this question:

“You could see Travis losing it with Jodi and throwing her against a wall?”

I believe Hughes’ answer to that question would have been “YES”… but we’ll have to wait to hear more about that. This is another reason why Flores should not be present in the courtroom watching all the testimonies – but let’s not digress here. We already know what Flores is.

Then there’s the Chris Hughes blackmail attempt – still apparently in effect – and ultimately concluding with Gus Searcy doing his best to protect the individual concerned (Mr X) by invoking his right to plead the 5^th. That happened while under cross from Martinez at the end of yesterday’s proceedings when he requested the blackmailed individual’s name, and after Gus had stated (to Kirk Nurmi) that the individual was “too afraid to testify because of Chris Hughes”. After pleading the 5^th, that led to a private discussion.

Here’s my take on the Hughes blackmail attempt:

After the initial calls to each other, Chris Hughes finally connected with Gus Searcy to find out what he was planning to say when he testified (no doubt a fishing expedition arranged by Martinez).  Gus was in his car when he took that call. Mr X was also in the car and overheard the conversation, either relayed by Gus or due to the phone being on loudspeaker at the time.

When Hughes found out that Mr X had become aware of the situation, and that Mr X also knew about TA being physically & verbally abusive to Jodi, he hatched a plan to try and keep him quiet. The plan was along the lines of Hughes telling Mr X that if he ALSO testified to the abuse, he would personally see that either [1] Mr X was removed from Pre Paid Legal and/or [2] that Mr X would have his Pre Paid Legal referrals (i.e. his “downline”) removed and repositioned under someone else.

Either way, this would cause considerable financial hardship to Mr X, as Gus stated yesterday.

This (as far as I can see) is what’s behind Chris Hughes’ blackmail attempt on Mr X, and Gus Searcy’s obvious resistance to divulging Mr X’s name in court yesterday – even going so far as pleading the 5^th to protect the guy.

So as of right now — and to back up Jodi’s valid self-defense claim — there are at least 4 people aware that TA was both physically & verbally abusive to Jodi. They are – Chris & Sky Hughes, Gus Searcy and Mr X… not forgetting the letters too, where Kirk Nurmi cited the defense expert who can categorically confirm  the letters are authentic and most likely were written by TA.

UPDATE: Arrogant asshole Martinez shows his ignorance of a basic business system… and in his failed attempt to rubbish PPL (and every other similar program) with his “pyramid scam” references, he forgets that virtually every product sold is done so via a very similar if not identical structure. The buyers buys, and the seller makes a profit, as does the place they bought it from, as does the place they bought it from too (etc etc).

Add Martinez arguing over inconsequential days & times into the mix, a geometry lesson, an impromptu 10 second pause, another tantrum session, and his inordinate number of objections to break Kirk’s flow… and it’s obvious he’s losing the plot… and fast.

*** Noon Recess ***

Afternoon witness list:
Darryl Brewer (Jodi’s ex)
Chris Hughes (“handwriting expert” and liar)
Abe Abdelhadi (continuation of evidentiary hearing testimony)
Gus Searcy (redirect)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Following on from yesterday’s events (click here for the highlights), it’s gonna be equally interesting today as we’re assured more of the same – including the return of Gus Searcy and his potential “bombshell”… plus Chris Hughes and Abe Abdelhadi.

The fact is, Martinez is losing this “nailed on” case – and he knows it. His actions from yesterday said it all. He also KNOWS what Gus Searcy knows (probably DV related), which is why he never called him back. Same reason he decided not to call back Lisa Andrews Daidone or any of the roommates. Go figure.

Hopefully it’ll all come out this week as we start our defense.

I think it is.

It was obvious from the questions raised by the jury, that they’re not buying what the prosecution is selling. They also don’t believe (at this point) that Jodi acted alone.

Can you imagine Juan Martinez in a wrestling match with Kirk Nurmi? Enough said.

Then there’s Thomas Brown. He’s the guy Jodi initially pointed out as a potential suspect. He’s also a former roommate of TA and was interviewed no less than 3 times by Esteban Flores. None of the information provided by Thomas Brown was ever included in any documentation passed to the defense. Am I surprised by that? Not really.

Next there’s the gun – overly trumpeted by the prosecution as “the murder weapon” and as “stolen” by Jodi… but with no ballistics proof (or any other proof for that matter) to back any of those claims up.

There’s also the forever-wavering testimony of Esteban “I’m watching all the testimonies” Flores relating to his much publicized sequence of events, which did nothing to assist the prosecution either – and why would it. His theory after all, was based on an alleged conversation he had with Dr Horn, which Dr Horn subsequently denied and which Flores then put it down to a “mistake”. No shit!

Also take into account Martinez’ reluctance to call the still subpoenaed Lisa Andrews Daidone… where she apparently recalled the multiple tire slashing incidents (while spending the night with TA), and subsequently tried pinning that (and started the “stalking” rumors) on Jodi… but totally bypassed the thought that both the stalking and the tire incidents could have been directed at her by her ex Steve Bell? (The “John Doe” email is also included at the end of this post).

That’s the same Steve Bell that had serious issues with the law both preceding and following his break up with Lisa over her escapades with TA. I believe Martinez said he didn’t want to call Lisa because he didn’t want to create an “inflammatory situation” for the jury causing an appellate issue. In layman’s terms, he didn’t want her tire slashing & stalking statements to sway the jury, only for them to be proven as false at a later date, subsequently forcing an acquittal.

Overall, and based on the respective performance to date of the slipshod & overly confident prosecution, and with copious amounts of prosecutorial misconduct in plain sight already (notwithstanding or to the exclusion of the ongoing SMS message issue or the recent camera dropping stunt), I personally think the probability of a directed verdict is very low, but a mistrial should not be ruled out at some stage for numerous reasons.

Who was the last “Mr Big” prosecutor that thought he had a “slam dunk” in a high profile trial, prior to it all coming off the rails and going tits up in unforgettable style? I believe it was Jeff Ashton – The Laughing Guy himself… yeah.

So maybe we can draw some similarities between this trial and Casey’s trial after all… even though, if I recall correctly, Ashton never rested for the state directly after showing naked pics of the defendant to one of his own witnesses.

Your thoughts so far?

This is an excerpt from the “John Doe” email, which Lisa Andrews Daidone alleges was sent to her by Jodi on 12-8-2008:

“You are a shameful whore. Your Heavenly Father must be deeply ashamed of the whoredoms you’ve committed with that insidious man. If you let him stay in your bed one more time or even sleep under the same roof as him, you will be giving the appearance of evil. You are driving away the Holy Ghost, and you are wasting your time. You are also compromising your salvation and breaking your bapitismal covenants. Of all the commandments to break, committing acts of whoredom is one of the most displeasing in the eyes of the Lord. You cannot be ashamed enough of yourself. You are filthy, and you need to repent and come clean in the eyes of God. Think about your future husband, and how you disrespect not only yourself, but him, as well as the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Is that what you want for yourself? Your future, your salvation, and your posterity is resting on your choices and actions. You are a daughter of God, and you have been a shameful example. Be thou clean, sin no more. Heavenly Father loves you and wants you to make the right choices. I know you are strong enough to choose the right. Your Father in Heaven is pulling for you. Don’t ignore the promptings you receive, because they are vital to your spiritual well-being.”
