Nern, it is confusing about what Abe was allowed to talk about so I went back over the tweets from Jen Wood regarding the discussion before Abe took the stand and what he said on the stand.
Jen's Trial Diaries @TrialDiariesJ · Jan 27
Nurmi is wanting to talk about the motion to preclude. Nurmi said Abe said he put his hands down Jodi's pants and grabbed her thong. Jodi said to him there was magic in her underpants.This incident happened after #jodiarias was baptized and Nurmi wants this precluded.
Juan wants to show Jodi was manipulative. Juan says he's not crossing #jodiarias and this testimony from Abe goes toward her credibility.
Nurmi: What JM said is nonsensical, credibility is not an issue in mitigation-cant b an all out assault on her.
Judge precludes the "magic panties" comment from coming in. Judge tells Nurmi he can object during testimony and they can recall him for SurreRebuttal.
Jury comes in. Abe has been called to the stand.
Abe has dinner with Jodi and he had drinks Jodi didn't drink. Jodi made a statement she "dabbled" in Mormonism. After date Abe walked Jodi back to car & they had physical contact Abe says they kissed and "got into it" It was passionate for about 15min. Abe says his hands wandered into Jodi's pants. Abe says Jodi didn't complain she was involved with Travis when they were making out.
Jodi called Abe and said she was getting back with her ex and they shouldn't get back together. Abe says their phone calls would b business but Jodi always talked about TA and asked for his advise on getting him to commit. Jodi complained about Travis to Abe for most of 2007 and him not committing. Abe told Jodi to not be so attached to Travis and go meet another guy when she would complain.
Dec 2007 Jodi told Abe they had a problem Jodi said she told TA about her date with Abe and it made Abe mad. Abe said he was no longer friends with Jodi after that.
Abe says he did not get the letter Jodi Arias claims she sent him via email. Abe says he got all the other emails from Arias.
Jury was asked to leave for 5 minutes to talk to Abe about not mentioning the magic panties comment. If he needs clarity he can flag judge.
He also can't mention Jodi's manipulation or anything about her opinion about Mormonism.
