I was listening to the Gold Patrol as you were posting the link, Nern.
I like to listen to Attorney Jeff Gold recap the week's testimony on Gold Patrol because he explains why the defense and prosecutor do what they did. I don't always agree with him but I agree with these comments he made:
Gold said the defense is trying to re-litigate the murder as a second degree murder in the mitigation trial so the jury will think it wasn't that bad and give her life.
He said this is a skeptical jury based on the questions they are asking the witnesses and Martinez was smart to put up Aber Abdehaldi, Deanna Reid and Bishop Vernon Parker.
Gold asked: Why did the bishop come with a lawyer? Cathy Russon of Court Chatter, an LDS member, said he was going to the court as a representative of the LDS Church, he is a clergyman so he has a privilege of confidentiality and it was smart of the church to provide him with an attorney.
Gold asked: "What was Juan's purpose for putting Bishop Parker on stand?" He answered himself: "To show Marc McGee is a liar. That affidavit is meaningless. Travis Alexander did not touch the computer. Marc McGee did have access. Marc McGee brought to the bishops attention the pop ups of the scantily clad women and Travis was not there when porn found."
Russon brought up that the jury believed Deanna Reid over Marc McGee and one question in particular proved it: Juror: Did Travis ever tell you he was sexually abused as a child. Deanna: No.
Gold said the "magic underpants" comment should have been admitted because it showed Jodi Arias was manipulative.
On Deanna Reid sparring with Wilmott the first day of her testimony:
Gold said, "She was meek and mild at the last trial but in this trial she was ready to fighting for Travis. She is angry. She is protective of him. She loves him. She was ready to defend his honor."
Russon said: "She is going to march in there and not take any crap. She is sick of this."
