After a 5 day break, the trial resumes again today.
In the meantime, and following on from our much publicized unearthing of the criminal records over the past few days, a motion has now been filed for access to the full criminal history of TA.

So, the debate rolls on.
These are the court documents JVM was waving around on her show last night, in relation to TA’s criminal records as obtained from Riverside Superior Court…

CR Document #1 — CR Document #2 — CR Document #3
*** TA ARREST REPORT (10 pages) ***
And here’s the video clip from last night featuring JVM, Beth Karas, a failed journalist & crime author and an equally clueless Jon Leiberman:
[hdplay id=105 width=500 height=300]
I’m not too sure where Leiberman is going with his “slandering & libeling a dead person” BS. We exposed the actual court documents (on public record) from the Riverside website. Plain & simple.
Leiberman needs to go brush up on his knowledge of the law and quit being a lying asshole – or just stick with doing his voiceover gigs instead.

TA’s Criminal Record Report:
Click here to access the page from the Riverside Superior Court website – then click the RIM418038 link in the Case Number box at the bottom of the screen.
Certain people are stating it was a case of “mistaken identity” and the record was subsequently “erased” within the hour… however it is still accessible. Interesting to say the least.
.
The Shoe Impression:
We are still no wiser – and maybe we never will be.
Here’s the shoe impression pic again (from a tile just inside the bathroom). It was taken from a screenshot when the picture was shown in court during Heather Conner’s testimony:
I’d still say that shoe print belonged to Zach Billings, and he “discovered” TA in the bathroom several days PRIOR to the big find on June 9th… which would explain how he managed to “miss” all the signs something was not right, including (but not limited to) the decomp stench for those full 5 days.
As far as I recall, Zach Billings was the only guy with access to all the keys. He was also the guy that let everyone in to the bedroom after unlocking the door on 6/9.
Maybe law enforcement did match it up to someone (obviously not Jodi/TA or they would have said) – but they decided against stating WHO the shoe print belonged to in case it upset their apple cart and opened an even bigger can of worms (?)

The State’s Ongoing Failure:
Following on from Thursday, it would appear Martinez’ whole case is now resting on a Walmart receipt and a gas can. We’ve been here before… yes or no? right? Sure we have.

“The Knife”:
Put basically… if the knife was put in the dishwasher as Jodi stated, and it also came from a knife block in TA’s kitchen, that would mean she did not bring the knife with her.
Here are some crime scene pics & placards which back that up. Exhibits #67 & #68.
Does anyone recall these pictures being shown during the trial?

Jodi Arias: Has the Government proven Murder One?
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.
If they could have proven the gun that Ms. Arias used to shoot Mr. Alexander was in fact stolen by Ms. Arias then that would be very good evidence of premeditation. But they have not done so; nor are is the government able to do so. On cross examination, the government has asked her number of questions regarding gas cans. This could be fruitful to the government’s allegation of premeditation, but the prosecution has not closed the loop on this point.
In particular, my assumption is that there trying to prove Ms. Arias used gas cans to avoid being seen in Arizona at a gas station by either a witness or cameras. That, if true, would show planning of at least something. So why then didn’t Mr. Prosecutor flat out ask Mr. Arias if that was her intent? Instead, he avoided asking her that question because of one thing: fear. Mr. Prosecutor is afraid she will have an answer for the question and the jury will believe her. So he is instead doing what trial lawyers have been trained to do, save the ultimate question for closing argument when the other side has no chance to contradict your argument.
Under all circumstances, such a approach is cowardly and craven…

36. Why didn’t you just run out instead of grabbing the gun in the closet?

Overall, yesterday was yet another good day for Jodi. All the questions were predictable (and no doubt there are more to come today), but Jodi came across well and answered them all promptly, even though they were in no particular order. Reasonable doubt is certainly abundant, and pre-meditation is not even an issue.
For many people, it’s just way too easy to analyze a particular situation countless times, then say “Well, I would have done this”… or “I would have done that”… or “I would have gone this way instead”. Hindsight is indeed a wonderful thing – but when you’re in a literal life or death situation, all logical thinking goes out of the window. You do not have time to formulate a plan… you just do what you have to do in order to survive… and that’s exactly what Jodi did on June 4th 2008.
