Nern, I agree with everything you said about DeMarte. Thanks for the information on the juror’s responsibilities on deciding between life and death.
Because the defense psychologists showed the jury Jodi Arias and Travis Alexander through the eyes of a pathological liar and convicted murderer, the real picture of Jodi Arias and the relationship between she and Travis Alexander didn’t emerge until the state psychologist took the stand.
Dr. DeMarte analyzed Jodi Arias’s life from childhood to the present and interviewed not only Arias but Arias maternal grandparents, whom she lived with when she was arrested, her cousin Aimee who grew up with her, her half sister Julie, a boss, a coworker, Darrell Brewer, Matt McCartney, Lisa Diadone, Taylor Searle, Zach Billings and Sky Hughes.
From all of this analysis, a pattern emerges of a woman who is intelligent, snide, sarcastic, a total bitch, kicked and punched holes in walls and doors, corrected people’s grammar, pursued men, flirted with male customers as a waitress and ignored females, fell in love quickly, was clinging and possessive, terrified of abandonment and stalked and pursued men when they tried to break it off.
Even her own grandparents said Arias was mean to her mother, tried to tell her mother how to raise her siblings and didn’t want anyone telling her what to do.
Her cousin Aimee’s comments about Arias being “snide, sarcastic and a total bitch who corrects your grammar” fits the Jodi Arias the public and the other jury saw on the stand who during cross examination, smirked and was snide, sarcastic and corrected the grammar of both her own attorney and the prosecutor. It also fits the tweets we’ve seen on her twitter account where she referred to Martinez as having “small man’s syndrome” and accused her own attorney of not being capable of impeaching a witness.
Sky Hughes described Arias as following Travis around, sitting outside the bathroom door and bedroom door when he tried to get some privacy and evesdropping on private conversations and Zach Billings and Taylor Searle said she showed up at Travis’ house unannounced and would let herself in and got upset when he tried to break it off.
Brewer said when he told her he couldn’t marry her because of his son, she would call him constantly, show up unannounced, speak to him in a little girl voice and try to fix dinner to wash his clothes to get him back. MCCartney said he moved to get away from her and she slept in his bed when he was gone and confronted his new girlfriend, Bianca.
Arias told the jury in her “secret” testimony that her mother beat her with a wooden spoon and her father beat her with a belt and she saw cocaine on her father’s dresser and just found out her mother smoked pot the day she was born. Arias said she smoked pot as a teenager but was never arrested and stopped on her own. Both parents in separate interviews told Flores they called the sheriff on Arias when at 14 she grew pot on the roof. Arias never copped to that because she knows the jury will never find that out because her parents won’t testify.
DeMarte said Jodi Arias never told any of the psychologists she had been abused as a child and never mentioned any drug use by her parents and when DeMarte asked her if she was abused as a child or her parents used drugs she said no. She did say she had been sexually abused by a relative at six but didn’t remember it.
The Purple Plum restaurant owner and fellow waitress described Arias as flirting with male customers, even kissing one man, and ignoring the female customers.
DeMarte described Arias behavior of getting into Alexander’s emails, stealing his diamond ring, hiding under his Christmas tree and peeking in his windows as “intrusive.”
She said Alexander liked other things about Arias besides the sex but he did not like her “intrusive” behavior.
DeMarte also said Travis Alexander was a typical single 30 year old man who had a right to flirt with, text, email and date as many women as he wanted.
She said Arias couldn’t let go and murdered Alexander to devalue him and then went on to makeout with Ryan Byrnes and accepted a phone number from a man on a plane as he flew from Mesa after Alexander’s memorial service to Yreka where she lived with her grandparents.
