DAY 7: AM SESSION
“A KILLER’S RIGHTS”

(Paul said, ”Special thanks to David Bodney and Channel 12 (KPHO) for the release of the secret transcripts and showing us that “the rights of Jodi Arias do not supersede that of the public and media.”)
Jennifer Willmott put a picture on the screen for the jury to see. It was of Arias seated in a restaurant with what looked to be happy friends, half-finished cocktails and beers in front of them. Arias could be seen smiling. “Is this a picture of you and some co-workers.”
“Yes,” she answered. She looked toward the jury. “We all went to the Yard House after work.”
“In 2006, did a financial opportunity come your way?” Willmott asked.
“Well, yes.”
“Can you tell us how that happened ?”
“I was cleaning out my closet one day and I ran into a DVD I had for about six months. I had never seen it and I put it in the player and it was a sales presentation for Pre-Paid Legal. I liked what I saw and tried to pursue it,” Arias explained with her chair turned a quarter of the way toward the jury box.
“You eventually signed up to work for Pre-Paid Legal on a commission basis?”
“Yes,” Arias answered. “I think that was in March 2006. I had signed up on-line. I knew it required some diligence and it looked like a lot of people were successful at it. I wasn’t making enough money to pay the mortgage even though I was working two, maybe three, jobs at a time.”
“So,” Jennifer Willmott said slowly. “At some point, you became involved?”
She looked at the jury. “Let’s see. If I would have signed up in March, there is an international convention held in September which, at the time, was being held in Las Vegas. So, the lady who signed me up called me. I think it was around June or July and urged me to go. I had a wedding booked as she wanted me to go to another segment of that. I couldn’t go to the first thing but was able to go in September to the convention. That’s when I got involved a little more.”
“You went to the wedding but couldn’t do the retreat,” Willmott said as a statement. “But you went to the convention. Now who is paying you to go to retreats or conventions?”
“We pay our own way,” Arias answered with a shrug of her shoulders.
“All right. So, that’s the first pre-Paid legal function that you went to?” Willmott asked.
“It was in September of 2006.”

In the quotes above, by Paul Sanders, this just reinforces my opinion that Arias had from March until Sept. to 'research' about 'sucessful SINGLE prospects' for her to manage to meet when she DID get to a PPL Convention. I will always think she had learned about Travis ahead of their 'meeting' and absolutely planned to meet Travis when she got to that convention. I wish some of those who car pooled with her would come forward and tell us if she ASKED anything about Travis Alexander on the way there!
