I don't know why Jeff Gold was surprised when Chris Hughes told him on Gold Patrol that contrary to Jodi Arias testimony, the sex didn't come until later in Jodi Arias and Travis Alexander's relationship.
He said Arias tried to get Travis to marry her by joining the LDS Church and pretending to be a good little Mormon girl who read the Bible lying about liking all the activities Travis liked when she actually hated them, manipulating Sky and him to try to get Travis to commit to her and when that didn't work, she turned on the sex.
That makes more sense to me and what I thought in the beginning.
It made no sense to me that a Mormon returned missionary would sneak into her room as his LDS friends slept in adjoining rooms and have sex with her when he barely knew her when anybody could see him going in and out of her room, would have sex with her in his car on a visit to her and have sex after baptizing her. She just made up those stories to smear his name and get back at the Alexander family for not letting her take a plea and get out in a few years and to make Mormons look like hypocrites because she sees the Mormons as turning their back on her after she murdered Travis Alexander.
Like Hughes said, Travis Alexander only had sex with two women: Deanna whom he dated for five years and Jodi Arias, probably in hotel rooms when they were traveling and a few times when she crawled into his bed naked. Yet, Arias spent 18 days on the stand bragging about every sex position she had been in since she was a teenager with Bobby Juarez, Matt McCartney, Darrell Brewer and Travis Alexander. So we know she was the seducer and the one who introduced him to KY jelly and various sex positions.
Hughes said they had written the emails to Travis about not committing to Arias after Travis had emailed them and asked them why they were telling her to stay away from him. Arias had complained to them that Travis was treating her badly and had called Travis and told him the Hughes were treating her badly. She was playing them both against each other but they did not realize that until much later.
Hughes said he wished the jurors had gotten a chance to see all of the emails between Travis and Sky and him rather than just the select ones that made Travis look like an abuser and user of women. He said at the end of the conversation they had recanted and apologized after Travis explained that he called her late at night because she worked night time. It ended lovingly.
It turned out the jury did read all the emails from the Hughes to Travis. In the audio press conference following the hung jury, one juror said the Hughes emails looked very bad in the trial but when they read all of them they were very loving and kind. Some said that made them go from undecided to the death penalty.
Even the jurors saw through the defense's lies to try to make those emails from Travis to other women say he had sex with 12 women in one month. They said after they read the text messages and emails they realized Travis was just joking and there was nothing to the defense claims about him manipulating and having sex with multiple women.
The jurors also said they wouldn't have believed a word Jodi Arias had said if she had done an allocution. A female jurors said Jodi Arias was a psychopath and if it hadn't been Travis Alexander, she would have killed another man. Another juror said he didn't believe a word Jodi Arias said after she lied to his face and said she and Brewer wanted to buy a house in a good school district because of his son Jack. He knew that was a lie because they only had Jack in the summer.
Apparently, the jurors are through speaking to Good Morning America and HLN. I haven't heard of any more interviews.
There was a link posted to the Hughes interview a few pages back so I won't post it again.
