Lunarscope, thanks for the info from your blog about Travis Alexander's journal. It shows Arias was constantly stalking Alexander. Crawling through the doggy door and stealing his diamond ring, stealing the journal where he talks about Lisa and his relationship with her, writing in his new journal and taking his roommate's camera and putting it in Alexander's BMW. From his journals, he doesn't even seem to see that she is doing all this and even though she may have had an explanation for why she took his diamond ring I suspect it didn't make sense. It just shows that she has messed with his mind with her seduction, manipulation and sweet nice girl act. I think because Alexander had a drug addicted mother whose behavior was irrational and illogical, Arias may seem normal to him and he may be more tolerant of her irrational, illogical behavior than guys who know Arias behavior is crazy, not normal. He also seems like a nice guy who is concerned she will commit suicide so he may be nice to her when he really wants to kick her out of his home and life.
Nern, I had no idea what you were talking about when you said the defense was hiring a new P-I. I had to go to another site to find the court minutes that stated: IT IS ORDERED authorizing the Office of Public Defense Services to appoint a new investigator for the Defendant. Please give links when you give information.

Maybe an investigator in the public defenders office just quit and they hired a new one but he isn't necessarily needed for the case. The defense wouldn't need any more investigation since they rested their mitigation case. Nurmi said he was going to bring Geffner, Fonesca, Abdehaldi and Reid back for his surrebutal case. It's Maria De La Rosa's job to find new witnesses, not an investigator. The defense doesn't use investigators in an appeal.
Arias can't work on the appeal until they see if she is sentenced to death or life. If she gets death, the state will pay for an appellate attorney to file the appeal and he can only use appellate issues Nurmi brought up during the trial. If she gets life, she will have to hire her own attorney, which is why her family is asking for donations.
Detective Brown, a forensic computer specialist, testified this morning that there was no child porn on Travis Alexander's computer.
He said he wiped the hard drive clean and then put Spy Bot on the computer. That's the same virus protection program Travis Alexander used. Spy Bot put the virus and porn sites on the computer to immunize them from those sites. If Neumeister and the fake John Smith were real computer specialists they'd know that.
As I knew from the minute I heard on the news, all this nonsense about porn on Alexander's computer was just Nurmi and Arias blowing hot air to get media attention and to smear the names of Travis Alexander, Juan Martinez and Estevan Flores. They took it first to the media and now it is front of the jury.
It's just a waste of the state and the jury's time to have to drag a detective to look at the computer and testify when it has nothing to do with whether Arias should live or die for premeditating an extremely cruel murder.
So what if Travis Alexander had porn on his computer?
It doesn't give Arias the right to drive 1,000 miles with a stolen gun, a knife, gas cans and her cell phone off to stab him 29 times, slit his throat and shoot him in the head while he is taking a shower in his own bathroom.
It doesn't mean he didn't suffer.
It doesn't mean she shouldn't get the death penalty.
Why the court even allows such nonsense is baffling to me.
I'm not wasting my time listening to Nurmi yell at him and try to make him out a liar and a criminal just to save the sorry behind of his murdering client.
