Let’s see if we can score some more points today.
3rd request for mistrial lodged, citing prosecutorial misconduct re: cell phone records.

I’ve never seen such a shambles. The prosecutor purposefully dropping evidence, solely in an attempt to demonstrate how long it’d take to hit the ground? Isn’t it obvious to anyone that it’d take less than half a second to drop anything to the ground like a camera or iPhone?
Not to digress too much — but can you imagine Jose Baez throwing one of George’s gas cans across the courtroom just to see how far it could travel? Judge Belvin Perry would of had JB’s nuts in a wringer faster that you can say capital sexual battery.
Ain’t that the truth.
Martinez is basically and single-handedly not only making an ass of himself every day, he’s also making an ass of the state.
Check out the camera incident and the accompanying mistrial request video below, which is currently under advisement:
[hdplay id=10 width=500 height=300]
The defense did right in requesting a mistrial for the 2nd time… not just for the state attempting to destroy pivotal evidence (i.e. the camera), but also based on Melendez’ half-assed change of testimony, the text message fiasco, and the earlier change of testimony from the state’s star witness Esteban Flores. The accusation of misconduct & deceit on the part of the state was more than justified.
Let’s see how the judge rules this time – even though (as usual) it’s highly unlikely she’s gonna side with the defense or see any “wrong doing”.
On a more positive note, all of the above shenanigans is doing wonders for Jodi and for Jodi’s defense team. I also think it’d be safe to say the jury are equally un-impressed with it all.
Martinez… prepare to lose your first case, buster. How you’ve won so many I have no idea, and nor has anyone else if they’re honest.
Your thoughts?

PS. The AZ-Central bedroom pic show (via the live feed) was really the icing on the cake. In case you missed it, I don’t think it was accidental. They basically broadcast the clips of Martinez showing the “bedroom pics” that were specifically cut from the live broadcast (for obvious reasons). That 2-3 minute clip then had to be edited, re-wound, set up and then re-broadcast. It was no accident.

Today’s witnesses are Yreka police officer Kevin Friedman who investigated a burglary at Jodi’s grandparents’ home on May 28, 2008. Mesa, AZ officer Michael Melendez who recovered the deleted photos from the digital camera found in the washing machine, and Mr Impeachment himself… (drum roll please…) Esteban Flores.

Should be another interesting week.

Recordings of all the previous 5 trial days have now been added:
Day 1 – Day 2 – Day 3 – Day 4 – Day 5
So far, we’ve learned that TA is officially dead, and that they found blood in the bathroom. Yup. Ain’t that the truth.
We also had to contend with the one-man-sideshow Esteban Flores… Arizona’s very own version of Yuri Melich… going out of his way to make it up as he went along and impeach himself at every opportunity. So much for the prosecutions “star witness”.
Following that, we had multiple viewings of TA’s bedding, shorts, socks, t-shirts & towels – all apparently washed together, even though only a few of them had bleach marks. Interesting to say the least.
Throw in a handful of Martinez meltdowns, countless sidebars, recesses, lunch breaks & gas receipts – coupled with enough reasonable doubt to sink several ships – and overall it was a pretty good week for the defense, especially going on the limited number of witnesses they’ve called to date… dont’ya think?
Make no mistake… progress might be slow, but we are winning… and we will be victorious.
You can mark my words on that.

PS. What’s actually in the picture below, and where was it taken?
Is this the same pic from the 3/13/2009 Supplement Narrative where it’s states – “Upper part of body pulled off the ground by an unknown suspect… only right leg/foot visible… dark colored pants… picture taken in hallway between master bedroom & master bathroom…” – ?

Here’s a re-posted comment from Kyle – Jan 10th 2013:
“Agree with you. A guy who gets off on a 28 year old he claims is stalking him sounding like a 12 year old when she has an orgasm over the phone, the way he fantasized about tying her up to a tree and you know, the shirt he bought her, the way he looked down on her, and his attitude.
Look at his old myspace page… his interests were money, women, and power. His favorite books were: Think and Grow Rich, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Slight Edge, Richest Man in Babylon, You were Born Rich, The Greatest Salesman in the World, Atlas Shrugged. Fav movie? The Secret, hahahaha. And girls are saying how deep his thoughts were. I didn’t see any Joyce, Orwell, Asimov, Dick, Hemingway, Orwell, Ballad, Steinbeck, Swift, or even any Chaucer. Not the deepest guy… he didn’t read Finnegan’s Wake or A Modest Proposal(I’m guessing.)
He’s all about power and image. So people who claim she’s shallow, well, she’s more vulnerable and easily manipulated. Why? I’m sure she was an insecure narcissist to an extent, and girls like that are the easiest to control BY ACCIDENT even. Look how fast she converted to Mormonism for him. His job is also a scam and his religion is a cult… so if he had excelled so quickly without college, well, it’s easy if you’ll rip off old people who don’t know any better.
Did he deserve to die? I don’t care. The way he lied to his friends about her, and then wanted to still bang her while calling her stuff like 3 hole wonder and crap… the world won’t miss him unless you’re one of his pathetic friends who’s just a lackey. And he was a racist. People are so fast to demonize the killer, well, as a guy… I can make a pretty good educated guess on why she went Predator on him. That means there was a lot of crap that she had gone through (moving there, changing religions, not being white enough, etc…) So I hope she gets off. You can tell he wasn’t born with money or class or else he would not have been how he was. Class is something you’re born with, and the way he talked to her is indicative of a guy lacking.”
Here’s another interesting post from Matt McCartney – detailing his 2 year relationship with Jodi – originally posted Jan 3rd 2013:

“Take a look at her permanently deformed hand, where he broke her finger in one of his many angry outbursts.
Q. Why wasn’t it set?
A. She didn’t go to the hospital that’s why. She was protecting him.
Q. Why didn’t she go to the hospital???
A. Because a report would be made that could lead back to him and he knew it.
Jodi is an artist. Her hands are a critical element in her life. Not only is she a photographer, she is also a painter.
I personally witnessed the purple finger shaped bruises on her neck. She originally claimed was from a seat belt. Later, after much debate, she admitted they were from him. She assured me that: “He is a good man” and “He didn’t mean it”.
In one of our many conversations, I asked her why she wouldn’t “Just leave him.”
She said: “I can’t leave him, you don’t understand, I’ve tried. He wont let me!” She refused to elaborate.
I was Jodi’s boyfriend for around two years and in that time, she wouldn’t so much as squish a bug. I caught her on many occasions, fishing bugs out of the tub, so they wouldn’t get washed down the drain. She had this crazy neurotic cat, that would flip out and attack her for no reason and she didn’t so much as swat it. Jodi is NOT a violent person!
When we ended our relationship, I was living and working at a distance. During that period, I began spending time with a colleague. One of my douche bag coworkers decided to “inform” her. There was lots of crying, many talks and a few letters. She was NEVER VIOLENT in any way. We remained friends and since then, she had a few other relationships ending with Travis. I personally know the man she was with before Travis. He and Jodi maintained a friendly relationship after they parted. He also had NO issues with violence. So why now? What changed?
Before Jodi was arrested we would talk on a regular basis. I am one of her longest lasting friends and former lovers. I could be a important character witness. At one point, I asked Jodi to leave me out of this situation, so as not draw attention to myself or my new family and since then, she has.
Her life is on the line. She could get the death penalty. Yet she’s made it a point not to involve me.
Why? Because I asked her not to….
That is the kind of person Jodi is!”

Prior to the afternoon recess, it was interesting to see Flores finally admitting he was “Mistaken” in his earlier statements, and his conflicting sworn testimony relating to the ME. Was he also mistaken when he mentioned “multiple intruders” and “possibly a robbery” in his initial reports, before he got gang-banged by Searle and his Muppets? Go figure.
This afternoon should be interesting. Prepare for another trademark Martinez meltdown as another one of his key witnesses come off the rails big time. Priceless.

Martinez proves once again he’s just as clueless & piss poor as the witnesses he’s calling.
