I think I will add on here one more excerpt from the book I recommended, where the author has taken apart Arias testimony, often sentence by sentence. She was actually confusing in her lies when she testified all those long, weary days and often talked so fast that we had overlooked many things she said. That book is 'Beyond the Words, Vol 1'. I have already gotten Vol 2, as this is written confirmation of JA's many lies and her way of answering Nurmi's questions with answers he did not even ask about. But this is really funny now to read, and I'm thinking...why didn't we catch all this THEN? (But we couldn't, because she was literally making no sense, at all.)
“I had been getting my suspicions about things. He was treating me a little differently about things, a little more distant, a lot more flirty with other women, and it just made me uncomfortable. When I tried to talk to him about it, he blew up and got very defensive, even though I didn’t accuse him of anything (calling him flirty and distant isn’t accusatory?), so it was kind of a red flag (it wouldn’t have mattered if the flag was red, black, white, or on fire – Jodi Arias was not going to pay attention to flags of any kind). He assured me that he was only dating me, and I left it at that. There were a couple of things that stuck out on the trip,too. Umm…at Daniel Summit, but I ignored it, and then we got back to Dave’s house, and he was taking a nap one day, and he left his phone wedged between two cushions in the couch, in the living room (which is exactly where he wanted it while he was napping on the couch, and exactly where it should have stayed. Somehow, this phone is going to end up flying out from between these cushions, and its going to land right into her hands, right?), and he was in another bedroom sleeping (no, he wasn’t…that makes no sense for someone who was as socially and professionally connected as Travis), and, I just, I figured (here it comes…more theft of information), I didn’t know if he was being honest with me – I had a feeling he wasn’t, and I wanted (because that’s the moral litmus test for her – does she want something) to know if I should continue in this relationship, or I should give him the benefit of the doubt (no, she had already decided there was no benefit of the doubt – now it was just a matter of collecting evidence), I’d been cheated on before (is she going to throw the kitchen sink in as well?), and I figured it was just emotional baggage that I’m looking into and reading things that weren’t there, so I saw his phone, and I debated on whether I should look at it, and I was kind of sitting there and tapping my fingers (wow, this is incredible), and finally I snatched it, and I ran into the bathroom, and I shut the door, and I was clicking around on his phone – he had a touch screen, it was a smartphone, I didn’t really know how to use it – but I found the text messages and began to read them.”
Here’s the Reader’s Digest condensed version of that story: So as not to wake Travis, she slowly and carefully removed the phone, ran to the bathroom, and invaded his privacy…again. Her story of how the stars aligned perfectly to set the stage for this intrusion is just evidence of the fact that she knows normal people will fault her for doing this. By the way, what is it about Jodi Arias and bathrooms? She beats them up when she’s angry, she hides in them when she’s jealous, she uses them as her office when she’s playing private detective, she follows women into them and holds them hostage when she feels she’s been disrespected, and she kills people in them when she wants to murder someone.
Nurmi asks, “And without telling us what they said, based on those text messages on Mr. Alexander’s phone, you believed he was not being faithful with you?” Jodi answers, “Yes”. Nurmi continues, “Was there a particular person you believed he was dating after you saw these text messages” (Why do I feel like I’m in divorce court? So what? Who cares if he was dating every girl in Mesa? That’s completely up to him. In fact, I’m beginning to wonder if Travis was trying to drive her away – perhaps ignoring hr and being flirtatious was his way of trying to tell her that the bloom was off the rose. Sometimes, that’s the way people break up with other people – they make it so uncomfortable and so humiliating that the other party gathers up their self-respect and calls it quits.)
Jodi answers, “No, there weren’t too many names, there were just a lot of phone numbers, and it wouldn’t have been a person, it was several different people, many different phone numbers.” Good for Travis. I hope these relationships brought him some joy.
Nurmi now tries to rehabilitate the snoop by repeating what she already said; she knew all about this, but she didn’t want to cause any chaos or drama on their trip, so she kept all of her pain hidden, for his benefit, of course. Bad move on Nurmi’s part, again. She caused plenty of chaos and drama – she was just biding her time and waiting for the right moment to exact her revenge. He really should strive to remember that the people he’s underestimating already knows exactly how this story ends, even if Arias claims she doesn’t remember any of it. Everybody knows exactly what happened.
In short: normal, healthy, sexually repressed male, sees young, well made-up bleach blond at a conference. The attraction is instant, but once he finds out that this woman has a decade long sexual past, and is currently five years into a live-in relationship, he crosses her off the potential wife list. She wants what he has, and she uses every charm - the ones that have worked with her assorted odd boyfriends in the past – and thinks she’s going to be successful again. He sleeps with her. She’s fine with that. Then, she becomes demanding, suffocating, and possessive. She invades every area of his life and his privacy. He tries to disengage. They go back and forth. When it finally becomes obvious that he never intended to marry her, from day on forward, she kills him. It isn’t much more complicated than that.

As for me...I'm glad this book can be ordered so cheap on Amazon Kindle, but I got the free app to read it online. I have a Kindle, but neither me nor anyone I know has been able to get it working, so I got a Nook from Barnes and Noble. But they don't have these books yet. By the author's diligence in showing JA's testimony, sentence by sentence, it really shows me the Judge did right in sentencing her to 'the rest of her natural life in Prison'! (Where she certainly belongs for the safety of any others who might happen to cross her path and she can't 'live free off them'. The fact is...she always lived 'free', except for the maybe, sometimes when she paid some in the house she and Darryl shared. She lived in tents with guys, in free employee housing at her resort job, with the guy's grandparents, her grandparents....she was always looking for someone to leech off of...free.)
