Justice, thank you for the link to the Court Chatter article from Travis's roommate about how scared he and his friends were after the murder and how they all slept in the same house and one had a loaded gun and how they all thought Jodi did it. This is the first time I heard from Enrique. Taylor Searle told the media that right after he found out Travis was murdered, he knew Jodi had killed him and he called Lisa and Mimi to make sure they were safe. Searle also said they all worried about their safety. Chris and Sky also told the media they warned all their friends to stay away from Jodi after Travis was murdered because they feared she could kill any of them.
It is too bad that this testimony couldn't have come out in the retrial because this jury may get the idea that the murder of Travis Alexander was just personal because of their relationship and not that she killed him because she is dangerous and would kill anyone she perceived as abandoning or betraying her. Instead all they heard was Travis was the violent, dangerous, lying, controlling abusive perpetrator and Arias was the victim who suffered in silence.
Duluth, I can't stand Alyce LaViolette and so I wouldn't watch a video of her. I remember reading about a video she made trashing Alexander and Martinez to her groupies who were all cheering her on. That was right after she testified in 2013. I also vaguely remember Arias claiming she was donating proceeds of her survivors T shirts to a battered wives shelter and the shelter stating on their website that they did not receive any donations and asking her to take their name off of her website selling the t shirts. That was two years ago. I thought you were talking about current news.
Yes, Duluth if the jury hangs or votes for life, the judge decides on life without parole or release after 25 years. The release after 25 years was abolished in 2009 because the legislature determined anyone convicted of first degree murder should never get out of prison. Because Arias committed the crime in 2008, she could get released after 25 years but that has never happened so no one knows how that works. There is no parole for first degree murder in Arizona.
