HLN, Martinez, inbreds & teenage girls (in that order)…

Published on

.
After reading the comments from whichtrial? in last Tuesday’s thread (click here to read the comments)— it set me off thinking how twisted this seemingly never-ending trial fiasco has become.

This is what I came up with while trying to make sense of everything…

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

I actually think Martinez knew this was a basic self-defense case… but his job was to twist everything around and coerce, convince & cajole the jurors into thinking it was a clear case of pre-meditated murder, using every trick necessary. We know it wasn’t pre-meditated murder. Most people of an average IQ (or higher) know it wasn’t. Deep down, even the radical clerics at the HLN mosque (Vinny, NG etc) know it wasn’t. But once again, everyone has a job to do… so they ploughed on regardless.

HLN declared Jodi “obviously guilty” right out of the gate, because that’s what they do. That’s what their viewers crave. And more viewers = higher ratings = more millions in advertising revenue. So with that in mind, the HLN entertainment channel rode the Jodi money train all the way to the bank (quite literally).

With regards to Martinez… he is employed by the State to convict people of crimes, even if they never committed them in the first place. With Jodi’s trial, we therefore have to say he was “successful” in his mission. But he was only successful in getting the “result” that he and the State wanted. TA’s misfit family wanted a “result” too, of course… because even when one of your own wayward black-sheep inbreds meets an unfortunate end, you gotta blame someone else so you can feel better about yourselves, right? Yeah… whatever.

But the thing is… Martinez wasn’t successful with regards to justice being served. No way. Coercing & railroading the jurors into a guilty verdict can never (under any circumstances) be seen as justice having been done… especially when there was never any credible evidence presented during the trial to prove pre-meditation. Note:  Assumption, supposition, guesswork & wishful thinking does not count as credible evidence.

And after realizing they’d been conned into finding Jodi guilty in the first place, the jurors weren’t prepared to compound their own stupidity even further by letting Martinez wheel them out for an encore performance during the penalty phase. Oh no. That BS got conveniently left for the next bunch – if it ever happens.

Overall though, it actually makes a total mockery of the whole judicial system. “Judicial farce” is the phrase I’m fishing for once again.

It looks very much like in-between being handed the case and the trial starting, Martinez managed to set his own common sense & limited amount of logic to one side – and proceeded to convince himself that Jodi was actually guilty of pre-meditated murder. After that, it was a simply case of getting all the square pegs to fit into all the round holes and it was off to work we go.

After all, a slim teenage girl can convince herself that she’s overweight if she thinks about it long enough and tells herself enough times. Martinez’ convincing himself of Jodi’s non-existent guilt is very reminiscent of that. He then used the very same tactics on the jurors.

But the bottom line is — we can only really say justice has been rightly served, when Jodi finally walks free from this circus.

By the way, I spoke to Jodi again last week. She is in high spirits despite her current situation… and she’s doing her very best to work through & reply to the ever-growing mountain of postcards she continues to receive. I told Jodi we will be here for as long as it takes until justice is done. Jodi also wanted me to tell you that she is overwhelmed, grateful, humbled and blown away by the tremendous level of support she has received. Overall, Jodi is staying strong and positive. We should all endeavor to do the same.

I told Jodi (as I always do)…  “WE ARE TEAM JODI, AND WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS… however long it may take.”

Now ain’t that the truth.

Martinez: losing the jury, the plot and the trial… [March 2013 REPOST]

Published on

.
Happy Friday peeps!

We’ll start posting the trial replays again this coming Monday (with day 51)… but in the meantime, check out my re-post from March 22nd 2013… and take special note of the Vladimir Gagic quote and BOTH the videos featuring Jose Baez on HLN.

Be sure to leave your comments below, as always.

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

Yesterday afternoon, we were treated yet again to another piss poor showboating display of prosecutorial cluelessness by Martinez. In full knowledge that he lost this case a long while ago… and not withstanding his antics with the camera, the autopsy picture stunt and his deliberate withholding of evidence from the defense… his revised strategy now appears to be based around a Wayne Dyer self-help book and the meaning of the word “compassion” (as defined by Websters dictionary).

He also proceeded (again) to question Dr Richard Samuels’ memory problems and his ethics. I think the only person in this scenario with memory issues & ethical problems is Martinez himself… right?

But in the midst of all this, whatever happened to Martinez trying to prove his BS-riddled & overcharged pre meditated murder & felony murder charges in this trial?

For Martinez, that has now become a major issue.

And it’s an issue because it AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN.

He’s lost the jury… he’s lost the plot… and he’s lost the trial. Plain & simple.

Here’s a quote from Vladimir Gagic’s excellent post last week:

“As far as I am concerned, the only issue in the Jodi Arias trial is has the government proven premeditation. That of course, is important because if the government has not proven premeditation, they cannot convict her of murder in the first degree and thus the death penalty is off the table. And while the government has also alleged murder in the first degree by way of felony-murder, that allegation is so specious as not to even warrant a response.

The government has not proven premeditation, and in fact, could not do so under any circumstances. Without direct evidence, either a confession by Ms. Arias that she intended to kill Mr. Alexander, as in “I wanted to kill to him”, or an overt act such as hiring a hit man or waiting in wait in ambush, the government cannot prove premeditation beyond a reasonable doubt. Note that I am not saying she did not intend to kill him or that there is not very good reason to suspect that she intended to kill him, just that the government will not be able to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. And that has been clear since day one. Someone asked me on twitter a question along the lines of “she lied so she doesn’t get the death penalty?”. My answer, yes, exactly right. To paraphrase Lt. Kaffee from a “Few Good Men”, it doesn’t matter what we know; it only matters what we can prove.

Instead of proving premeditation with direct evidence, the government is trying to do so with circumstantial evidence. So far the attempt has been, with the most charitable interpretation possible, pathetic. While the law does not recognize a distinction between direct and circumstantial evidence, there is a jury instruction that says exactly that, the inference the government wishes the jury to draw from the circumstantial evidence is, dare I say, comically lacking.”

So Forget all the state’s smokescreen BS about gas cans, Walmart receipts & hair dye. What matters is THE EVIDENCE. Some of the more important evidence we have to date are TA’s rape specific text messages – and his 12 year old girl bondage & orgasm fantasies… we’ve seen and heard those already.

As Jose Baez said on last week’s HLN “bathroom re-enactment” show…

“The physical evidence does not lie”

Ain’t that the truth…

Here’s the clip featuring Jose with his view on the order of events:

[hdplay id=127 width=500 height=300]

And here’s a secondary clip of Jose from the end of the program:

[hdplay id=128 width=500 height=300]

And by the way… Jose Baez turned George Anthony inside out on the stand countless times, without ever resorting to bellowing or doing the Harlem Shake.

As for the Travis-Towners & TA fans out there, all they’re really concerned about is hating, retribution & vengeance. “Justice” doesn’t come into it. It never has. That’s not what they’re after.

Take yesterday for example… where 2 trial observers were thrown out of the courtroom after stating multiple times that they wished “Jodi were dead.”. Apparently one of Jodi’s family members complained and security removed the two women.

But at the end of the day… and just a few weeks from now after the “Jodi Arias Reality TV Show” is over, and the relevant dust has finally settled on this trial and the specially built studio sets, mock courtrooms, faux jurors & cardboard bathroom reconstructions… it’ll be largely remembered as the trial Martinez lost. It happens sometimes when you overcharge a case without any conclusive evidence.

Just ask Jeff Ashton… he knows that only too well.

Like I’ve said before…

Armed with very little aside assumption, speculation, hearsay & hot air, it’s ultimately gonna come down to Jodi’s word against Martinez’. And despite the valiant repeated efforts of Martinez to turn this into an ego-driven pissing match — there’s just no way all 12 jurors are gonna be convinced beyond and to the exclusion of all reasonable doubt. He knows that already. He’s known it for a long while. So have we. So has everyone else. Give it up FFS.

So let’s not stress too much over the verdict. Why? Because it’s already been decided. It’s just gonna be a little while longer before it’s “officially” announced.

And if you’re still getting worked up & stressed out every day over NG and her ongoing BS coverage, I have a simple solution for you. Stop watching her. Simple as that. Just shut it out, remove yourself from all negativity completely and quit wasting your energy… whether it’s NG, JVM, VP, some other website, some haters’ comments or anything else. The same applies. Rise above it all.

Stay positive and keep the faith, as always.

Day 47 reviewed + The Enema of the State [2013 RE-POST]

Published on

.
Today’s 2013 replay features a re-post from April 16th:

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

*** RE-POST STARTS ***

Here’s a brief overview of yesterday’s events. The full trial day video can be viewed by clicking here.

First up – Grace Wong seemed thrilled to be thrust into the trial, but really served no real purpose aside backing up what Jinkasaurus had said a few weeks ago. She came, she saw, she chirped – and she left smiling.

Bryan Neumeister (the audio/video guy) was next up, and he ultimately produced an enlargement of the infamous “TA eye” picture, to verify that Jodi was taking that particular photograph. For a moment there, I thought he was preparing to unveil a picture with a bunch of people stood behind Jodi wearing foil hats, waving light sabers & sporting strange looking undergarments. Thankfully he didn’t.

Kirk Nurmi 4-15 evidentiary hearing 1

Martinez attempted (and failed once again) to knock the credentials of the expert in his cross — even though Bryan also works for Martinez’ own office — and he finished off by saying all he could see was a Mexican chihuahua and a solar eclipse, then compared it all to a cancer test. Go figure.

As Kirk Nurmi said about Martinez’ “bluster” and the evidence submission – “He’s afraid of the bite in the dog.”

The motion for mistrial also included direct reference (& audio playback) to Martinez’ verbal harassment & intimidation of Dr Richard Samuels, where he basically tried to bully & coerce him into not using any reference articles, pictures or slides during his testimony. He apparently pulled the same stunt with Alyce LaViolette in chambers last week.

Kirk Nurmi 4-15 evidentiary hearing 3

The eventful morning session finished off with the prosecutorial misconduct segment, and Martinez complaining over Jodi tweeting about his respective lack of height… and his claim that the defense were “showboating” in an attempt to “add pennies” to their bill. He forgets that in addition to the defense working on a very limited budget, the State has unlimited funds & resources at their disposal and yet they are still NO NEARER to proving their bullshit M1-burglary case against Jodi. Maybe he forget that strange but true fact.

Kirk Nurmi summed it all up nicely by advising Judge Pickles that this wasn’t “2nd Grade” or “a find the shell game”, in fact it was “a court of law”… and that the defense has no intention of stooping to the very low levels the prosecutor was intent on continually stooping to.

Needless to say, the 84th request for a mistrial was promptly denied – but it’s still on record of course.

The 3 minute Afternoon Session:

After the lunch break, the jurors were advised that as per the TA eye picture on the big screen, both parties had agreed that Jodi was not holding a knife or gun in her hand when the photograph was taken on June 4th 2008. After just arriving, the jury were then promptly sent home for the day.

So ladies, gentlemen – and everyone else that’s here… I give you Juan Martinez… self-appointed Enema Of The State. Right? Yes or no?

Laterz…
