Observer' I 100% agree with exactly everything said above about Travis and Jodi sex, although I do not think the sex was delayed, Jodi was flirtatious and easy, she wanted Travis's commitment early on, (I actually think she wanted and planned to meet Travis) plus he had already had sex to some degree, so she was on him like a fly on butter, there I think he resisted and stalled not wanting her to move to Mesa tells that Jodi was never going to get a ring, but I guess' sex was started in their early stages, stopped and restarted stopped then the fatal day! Travis didn't want her for Christmas but had sex in January' after she made 3 payments to him, both to me equate no Christmas holiday attachment, sliced tires' and January he had male weakness that later resulted in her moving back to California, So all accounted less than 4 months, but sex early-on maybe even in Vegas when they met!
This is unrelated' it was posted when Jodi hired a PI pre-retrial, theirs more on that thread that I can keep posting if wanted, its also about Jodi being her own Attorney!

She knows she's going to die in Perryville no matter what. Arizona is not kind to its inmates. Looking at the state's records, the odds are great that she will be offed, commit suicide, or die from medical neglect before the State would ever have a chance to put a needle in her, and that's if she even receives the DP.
She has nothing to lose. She's understandably confident about her ability to manipulate people. A new jury won't have seen her close up and personal, her snears and smirks and cockiness. She'll be new to them.
I doubt she goes for pathetic. My bet is she'll opt for fragile earnest waif, and that she is counting on JM to play the part of bully: impatient, rolling his eyes, jumping up and being loud, denegrating her, calling her a liar.
Challenging JM and being snarky on the stand as a defendant tore her mask off; it backfired. Representing herself she'll have more latitude. She can play up startled scared victim when it suits, and poke at JM in a thousand different ways to egg him into attacking her.
Before all that she has already won the right to be personally involved directly with voir dire. I think that's pretty huge. Part or me suspects that 's her main goal (remember all the DT motions on this topic?) and that she will step down after jury selection.
Last and not least, I totally agree that representing herself will make it more difficult for a jury to give her the DP. Void dire will give her info she'll use to focus in on (target) 1 or 2 or 3 jurors.
