End is Near Hopefully

[Lunarscope]

Ironic isn't it that the Alexander family cast a No faith vote' for restitution justice from Arizona JSS by opting to Not attend restitution hearing, telling me Wrongful Death lawsuit prefers a unique judge for restoring expenses and damage assessment!

JSS is a joke, (Nothing Funny) a trial stuffed with appellate issues' only' because of JSS kid-glove treatment, trial should have taken a month using one judge and two defense attorneys, but it took a few judges and many attornies, (none proved inprovement) all because of Not denying Jodi nonsence from the get-go.

I believe federal trial decision reversal' new trial years from now, and by then JII will repopulate, their mostly disgruntled Americans or American way defiant people ignorant to our court system.

Why should Willmott discover a conflict with her personal schedule, on the very day Jodi (after 30 day Solitary = no phone access) gets her first Perryville 15 minute phone call, and if Willmott is quiting Jodi' why delay, her appeal attorney could and would be better at restitution hearing, unless Willmott is planning to stay on as Jodi representative. As I guessed' the Public Defenders office is for the second time refusing to defend Jodi, and Jodi wants high-dollar defenders, keeping Willmott seated.

The Alexander family have been systematically trampled by JSS every step of the process without waiver, a Travisty, Only Travis Law and JSS disbarment will address the destructions of American Justice. I have been ashamed for over 2 years, and will remain fighting! Jodi was no more than a Fatal Attraction Call-girl!

‪#‎JodiArias‬ appellate attorney Tennie b Martin. Representing the State, Atty-Joseph Maziarz

Jodi Appeal Attorney;

Name: Tennie B Martin (Ms.)
Status: In Good Standing
Licensed: 20 years
Law Office: Maricopa Public Defender
Law School: Arizona State
Location: 620 W Jackson St
Ste 4015 Phoenix, AZ 85003

So Willmott is asking for a delay' when she doesn't really need to attend, and if she does attend it will be her final action.

I now think Wrongful Death lawsuit is assured' since the Alexander family is Snubbing JSS and Arizona restitution quality of courtroom justice.

[Lunarscope]

As I expected / predicted; Quote;
Tennie B Martin is from the County Legal Advocate Office, not the public defenders office. I believe this is just another option if there's a conflict with the public defenders office.

Just alike Nurmi and Willmott' a Private Practice attorney, So' the Public Defenders office did refuse' for the second time to represent Jodi' Arizona pays whatever Tennie wants to charge for by the hour and for whatever hours and motions filed, unrestricted, JSS typical / predictable wording, "No conflict known" means Expected conflict is dependent upon asking, then denial, (theirs always the possibility of Armageddon to disrupt any request), same thing as' we don't know what the split in hung jury count = their was a hearing released that proved JSS was lying with request for collusion' aimed at Martinez, Florez and Willmott, because all Four discussed the Jury split in open court recorded testimony, both the testimony minutes released and JSS later in open court claiming jury split (11 to 1) was unknown, if JSS acknowledged knowing their was one hanging juror' she would have opened the door to appeal issue. She needed to replace the juror' because it was the third attempt at removal or investigation, fourth time juror #17 was discussed =end the JSS lie I explained above.
JSS will award Arizona to restrict the Alexander family restitution' but' later Wrongful Death lawsuit will superceed!

Just read a letter JA wrote to her supporters. She writes her cell is not blue, but freshly painted white w/ gray shelves.

The first week she was put on suicide watch, (not for mental reasons), but for security. One week later she was moved to Lumley, a couple of cells down from Debbie Milke's old cell.

She writes she's seen a lot of people from Estrella, and everyone has been warm, kind and respectful. The staff were professional and efficient on her arrival. Also, she was not sad or fearful in her prison photo. There was more bs in the letter, but I'm going to skip some of it.

She said she planned to apologize before being sentenced,...and stated she wanted to pay the restitution, but she was at her maximum tolerance after listening to the Alexanders lie and distort the facts,...so she discussed it with her legal team, and said what she did about Travis. Her only regret is that she didn't say more.

Right before she says she discussed it with her legal team and they told her to go for it because she was going to get natural life,...she writes she wasn't prepared and spoke on the fly. Another lie!

Anyway, for anybody that wants to read it; go to Jodi Aries is a Psychopath...Nothing Else. She certainly is a psychopath and this letter proves it!

Penny Hays said;
Danielle, go to the Facebook site: Jodi Aries is a Psychopath... NOTHING ELSE, and it was posted by a Denise Drinhouser (not sure of last name spelling)

Debbie Hope said;
I do not believe for one moment it is her writing. I believe she is locked away from all other people and the bull about her meeting up with other people from estrella is bull because she was in there for seven years and they would have already been out or in another facility not the one she is currently at. I believe that others are writing this bull and I think she has no other people around her except guards and wardens and also other prisoners who did what she did and committed murder. I don't believe it at all.

Penny Hays said;
Debbie, I agree the letter is full of lies, but the writing is similar to other things I've seen written by her. Of course, I don't know for sure, but it sure sounds like her psychopathic self.

Marilena Fenn said;
That is her handwriting. It is definitely her writing it. I've seen enough of her journals to know its her. Its full of delusion, and the solitary confinement is starting to get to her. You can tell just by the things she says. She is completely lost in her own world. Typical Jodi. She is truly delusional. They better put IT on meds before it goes beserk and hurts a guard or something. It needs to be sedated 24/7

Penny Hays said;
Marilena, I don't know how she got the letter out especially without envelopes and paper, but I agree it's her handwriting. More importantly, it's her style of writing, delusional, distorted, and psychopathic.

The latest blog by Debbie Maran and wanted to share for those interested. It is about the Helio phone and the sex recording. Debbie has written many great blogs in the past and they have all been very informative.

@ Ànother great read' about sex recording taped on tape recorder' only edited with Helo-phone.

I don't agree Travis's android could have used a app, I think apps were less available, less downloaded because of less memory and more problems, I usual enjoy her posts and learn much' with slight disagreement' This post' I have found no doubts and much defined!

It does confirm JSS is still' protecting evidence under seal that explain Jodi guilt, evidence unjustly concealed from Jury, evidence secreted along with secret in chamber meetings and secrets kept from Martinez, secrets that lengthened the proceedings' 10-fold!
Secrets that will destroy JSS, Nurmi, Willmott and MDLR careers!

[Justice]

Lunarscope...I can't help but wonder where are the Media lawyers, about opening all that 'secret' stuff that JSS is still keeping hidden?? It should not be kept 'secret' any more, it seems to me! Shouldn't all the things done in private and outside public scrutiny be made public now, that the trial has ended?

[Lunarscope]

Both Yes and No Justice' I agree about the media lagging behind.

Some things are Never revealed' that's just good policy, So before anything secreted becomes released' it must be reviewed, Court Chatter and Beth have been requesting and JSS's office has released what we have So far, this trial has So much secreted that whoever reviews then releases must have Jetlag, everything should be released that does Not harm, but at this point That may take years, if ever, disgusting' because the Minutes are proof of career suicide by Nurmi, Willmott, MDLR and JSS!

I don't know how the system works' if questionable topics are reviewed by whoever spoke or just reviewed by the JSS trial courts, all the Minutes have details that we deserve, the minutes only highlight topics. I 100% believe all four Plus Janet will face disbarment or fired, hopefully fined, Only if someone releases what schools need' because this trial and its Psychotic will be school for thought for decades!

So it must be released' but who had Kennedy shot, some things are coveted' to protect the Guilty.

JSS will never be reelected' but that will-be to little To late.

Theirs never been an American trial with so much' that the press itself is overwhelmed, about knowing what to request, and everyones burnt-out. JSS is supposed to release what the press asks for' as priority over what can and cannot be released, their have been standing requests, withstanding, although what we have received has been from the press hounding JSS, I want the pretrial information' that has less illegalities relating to professionalism, the courts could be charging the press for pages I don't know!
----------------------------------------------------

Plus; We only Now learn that the sex tape wasn't a continuous conversation, but' was 6 conversations edited together, the minutes relating to Martinez objections will Disbarr JSS, because why argue to Jury the conversation Day, that's colluded contamination evidently!

Behind Jodi's Letter
May 14, 2015
Kim Anne Whittemore

Well, well... Guess what? I just checked the mail and a letter has arrived from summer camp... oh wait, I mean college... oh crap, our letter has the return address of Perryville Prison in Goodyear, Az. It must be from Jodi... let's open it and see what she has to say. She must be short on paper because the handwriting is SO small! Hmmm... well, let me help you all out and transcribe it...

Her letter tells us a lot about her inner terror (and there's no doubt in my mind that she wrote it -- content and handwriting obviously belong to her). The tiny, cramped writing is reflective of her new world. She even started the letter with miniature letters so that she could fit two sentences on every line. She's in perpetual preservation mode -- never enough of anything and not allowed to stockpile much beyond lotions and shampoo (and then, only as much as she can fit in her cell). She'd better get used to it. When she's finally dead, someone will drag of garbage bag of her worthless earthly belongings out to a family member's car and toss it in the trunk. That's as much as she will ever own.

The day she arrived, everyone was professional and efficient? What does that mean? Does she think the world believed that her jailer was Vlad the Impaler? Professional and efficient. Does that mean they did a strip search without laughing at the size of her...well, you know. Professional and efficient are code words for distant and unfriendly, and they're about the best qualities you can hope for in people who are chaining your hands and feet together after you've bent over, coughed, and showered in front of them. The warden has already told the media that the guards who will be interacting with Jodi Arias have been advised that she is a highly manipulative individual and they are to limit their communication with her -- in other words, no socializing or chit chat. I think this treatment (while frustrating because she has to socialize with them if she's going to manipulate them) was a relief to her. She probably thought it was going to be far worse (and maybe it was, but she doesn't want anyone to know). She's made a lot of noise meant to demean Sheriff Arpaio, and she broke many rules and complicated his life while she was in his custody. There is a sense of unity between correctional officers. They work in a terrible environment and they do not like problem inmates (and Arias was a problem inmate).

Her ramblings about her "DOC photo" (she won't allow herself to call it what the rest of the world calls it -- a mugshot) are so transparent. She claims she was told that her mugshot made her look "tired" and "sad". Really? I didn't hear such sympathetic terms used to describe the "photo", but still, she has to debunk them. While it would be perfectly natural for someone in her position (at that moment) to be tired and sad, she wasn't. If she was going to be honest about what she had heard about this well-circulated mugshot, she would admit that she was mocked when the world saw it. I have seen words like defeated, humiliated, broken, and terrified used to describe that picture. I've read, more times than I can count, "Where's the smirk we saw in her first mug shot?". As she continues sharing stupid details about being processed into prison, she invokes a particular name: Debbie Milke (Debbie -- not Debra, the name used by those who reported on her case). Why? Because Arias knows that when people read that name, they will think "wrongful conviction, corrupt detective, sentence overturned, defeated prosecutor, freed from prison". She wants everyone to think that's her story, and because her story will end the same way Milke's did, she's going to walk the same path as Debra Milke.

Deborah Milke = Mugshot looking tired/sad!

Her journey even begins the same way Milke's did -- with her eyes being blinded with halogen lights (where did she get access to Milke's booking photo, and why was she looking at it? I've never seen it). Then she writes that she was put under suicide watch -- but hey, it was fake suicide watch (because she's perfectly content with the idea of being permanently exiled from society and living with murderers). I think she wrote about this because she knows that the information will eventually get out to the public, so she's mounting a preemptive strike. She wasn't there for "mental health reasons" either (this is her way of telling everyone that her alleged mental illness is nothing more than a mitigator used at trial). While everyone else is on suicide watch, Arias is there for "security reasons -- whatever that means" (it's a prison, idiot -- what do you think it means?). She's implying that she's so popular, so high profile, and so important that she requires special security. She knows damn well that she was there because she was on suicide watch. Jodi Arias has talked about suicide more often than a counselor manning the phones at a suicide hotline. Besides, this is probably standard protocol for every inmate who has just been told that they are spending the rest of their life in a cage with no hope of leaving alive.

Arias then jumps on another opportunity to invoke Milke’s name — she thought she was going to be in “Debbie's” old cell, but alas, she wasn't. Why anyone would care is beyond me. Milke won’t be needing it, so put someone in it. Speaking of cells, Arias says that her cell is NOT blue (her way of saying, "Screw you people who thought I was going to be surrounded with that Travis blue color"). Instead, it's white -- which she says is more proof that you can't trust the media. Well, for those who have been following the reporting on this case, that cell WAS blue when the media showed it on television. It has been painted since that tour of her cage was televised (something confirmed by Shawna Forde -- Arias' "neighbor" who recently had her cell painted white). She describes it as though it were an apartment -- it even has "shelving". BTW, who uses the word "unfinished" to describe a concrete floor? Jodi Arias, that's who. To combat a report circulating on Facebook, the one that says Arias will be living in a place that smells like a filthy dog kennel, she writes that her cell is clean and smells like fresh paint.
Then we hear about a virtual Disney movie playing out in front of her eyes. Yes, the happy little birds and the adorable gophers are running around (birds fly). Arias, killer of Doggie Boy and abuser of cats, is communing with her animal friends just as Cinderella did before she was magically released from her life of drudgery. Never mind that note Shawna Forde released -- you know that one that complained of bird droppings on the unwashed food trays -- those birds are not a problem. They are heaven sent little friends dispatched to minister to the inmates in Perryville. And what's up with those horrible guards? The woman who butchered a man drew a judgmental little sad face in protest of the guards who are putting poison pellets in the homes of her little friends (the irony is astounding).

Oh, and isn't it interesting that the same woman who casually tosses out the word

to describe strip searches can't spell gopher and bologna (she writes gofer and balogna -- words that are mastered in the third grade). I wonder if she’ll ever mention the rats and the roaches.

Then we get to the culinary delights of Perryville. Don’t smile haters — she’s eating as well as you. In fact, that food isn’t just an improvement — it’s a MAJOR improvement over the food "at her last location" (i.e. — solitary confinement). What is it a major improvement over? Nothing terrible — just bland food. So there. If you thought that those Estrella inmates who were on a hunger strike were right, or if you really believed that the loaf of bread Nancy Grace smacked against a rock was as hard as cement, you've been deceived. Arias wasn't suffering. She was just concerned about the high sugar content in the food. (Ha!) This from the woman who wrote about her prison recipe for raspberry cheese cake, purchased hundreds of chocolate bars from the commissary, and even posed with one for a photo. But, hey...it's Arpaio's fault for allowing her to indulge in what she called "the diabetes inducing diet" -- it has nothing to do with her idiotic supporters who kept her flush with candy. Anyway, no worries. She's been studying nutrition (I guess she found time to do that while waiting to hear if she was going to get a lethal injection). Now she's on a balanced, well-rounded diet. I'm sure America's homeless veterans will be thrilled to hear that. It's something to comfort them the next time they go scrounging through the dumpster behind McDonalds.

Then we get to the important stuff -- the stuff that has transformed Arias from a media sensation to her new status of rank and file lifer. Just like them, she's innocent, the state targeted her, the jury was corrupt, the judge had no mercy (if the judge gave Arias any more special treatment, she might have been burned in effigy), blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

As you look at the letter, one word sticks out, and that's because she used more space than she should have by writing ELEVEN and then, for further emphasis, underlined it. That number represents the corrupt jurors in her case (she should have added the alternates if she wanted to be accurate -- they were ready to send her to death row as well). And isn't it wonderful that people are congratulating her on her LWOP sentence. Are we supposed to be upset by that? I thought living the rest of her life in one place was the worst thing she could think of -- isn't that why she wanted to die (for the 95th time)? Whatever.

It's nice that she's seen so many familiar faces (if she saw faces, it's only because she's been trying to catch a glimpse of Angela Simpson and her sisters), and while she admits she's still in segregation, she claims that everyone has been so kind, respectful, and warm. Does that mean they haven't thrown urine at her while she marches around the perimeter of her outside cage (for an hour a day)?

Does this mean they didn't whisper, "Hey bitch, I own your ass" while she was being processed? Maybe Judge Stephens did obey God after all. She handed Jodi such a wonderful life. Someone even said she has "lady balls". I'll bet that person was either the prison doctor or someone who's seen her nude shots.

Reading on...Blah, blah, blah... corrupt prosecutor... blah, blah, blah....lies and distortions from the TA camp... the judge is a speed reader.... and let me stick JUROR 17 in your face a few more times, etc. I'm so glad we know her legal team approved her speech. Willmott didn't know about it and Nurmi was not on speaking terms with her, so if she is referring to De la Rosa as her legal team, there may some truth to what she says. She was NOT appealing for leniency -- she only appeals for facials, ass poundings, and well deserved spankings.

She closes with promises of mini-notes being sent out to the members of her fan club who have written to their idol, and lets them know that they are to send her photos. SHE will decide which ones she keeps and which ones she tosses. So much bullshit, and so much like her book review of Sue Ellen Allen's, "A Slumber Party from Hell".

Yes, Sue Ellen actually spent seven years in Perryville (while Arias hadn't even seen the prison at the time she wrote her book review), but still, Arias says she disagrees with Allen on several points. She disagreed with this sentiment: "The worst day of freedom is better than the best day of prison".

No, says Arias, this is not true! Her worst day of freedom (any day leading up to her arrest) was far worst than being incarcerated. Additionally, Allen is "wrong" when she says being moved in prison doesn't bode well for the inmate. Despite the fact that moving, for Jodi Arias, ultimately meant being removed from the lazy days of hanging out in the common areas with the general population and being locked up in solitary for 23 hours a day, moving was always a positive thing for her.

Sue Ellen Allen is normal -- she finds strip searches degrading and one is left with the feeling that she never got used to them. Arias says they are par for the course and not a big deal. Booty Duty, I think she called it. She is incapable, truly incapable of expressing an ounce of humility. I've asked several publishers if they believe that Jodi Arias is a topic that will, in short order, fail to interest the general public. They've said (paraphrased), "The trial will always be of interest -- like the OJ trial, Anthony trial, or Manson trial. As for Jodi herself, she will find ways to remain in the media, and throughout the years we will hear about her antics. She knows no other way to be and she will not go quietly". I think they're right, but I really wish she'd just shut the hell up already.

First I'll comment' it's better reading the link due to color highlights' but I wanted to post the entire post, I respaced.

We only Now learn that the sex tape wasn't a continuous conversation, but' was 7 seperate conversations edited together, the minutes relating to Martinez objections will Disbarr JSS, because why argue to Jury the conversation Day, that's colluded contamination evidently!

Quote = I received from Mr. Nurmi's office was a recording, uh, actually 7 recordings from the telephone, and I was asked to clean them up."  Bryan Neumeister, testimony, day 13.

So why were Jury told it was all One conversion' isn't that JSS overruling Martinez objections.
We deserve all the related court conversations, Neumeister imagines eye-ball images (JSS forced Alexander family to look over Jodis shoulder to look into eye) and he edits combines conversations into what jury was told One conversation, I believe release of the minutes will Disbarr JSS, with Judges it's called ' breach of "Charter" '!

I wonder if Neumeister knew Matt in Big Sur = Matt's photo editing company, called a Optical center!
Jodi had some involvement or had visited the optical center = unconfirmed because that statement was just a tweet!


An In-depth Analysis About Jodi's Helio Phone;
Stop.
Sit down.
Guess what?

Jodi lied about the details involving the Helio phone call!

What?  You knew that already? ......... Damn.

THE DEFENSE TEAM'S EVIDENCE OF SEXUAL ABUSE

In her 2013 trial, Jodi Ann  Arias alleged she was the victim of domestic violence.  Jodi claimed she was sexually,  mentally, emotionally, and physically abused.  She implied the alleged abuse is what elicited feelings of mortal fear and forced her to use extreme lethal force when she killed Travis Alexander on June 4th, 2008.    Per Jodi's story, in an act of self-defense she shot Travis,  knifed him 29 times, and slit his throat nearly ear to ear.  The brutality of the attack expressed rage, but Jodi said it was fear.  She claimed she had to hurt him so badly because Travis Alexander kept attacking her and was trying to kill her. However, she escaped with barely an injury.

Juror Question number 57:  You say Travis' had attacked you before June 2008, but would apologize to you after he did it, so why was the June 4, 2008 incident so different?

Jodi's answer: "............. it wasn't until that incident (the alleged choking)  when I reflected back on it, I realized I could have died"."

After the alleged choking incident, Jodi implied her fear increased. She realized she could have died. Despite her fear and her desire to be with another man,  Jodi drove 100's of miles to see Travis instead.

"I'm just not physically attracted to him (Travis) anymore........... I can't wait to finally hang out w/ Ryan."  Jodi's journal, May 18th, 2008

When she arrived at Travis' house,  Jodi's seemed to forget about her fear.  According to Jodi, Travis wanted to tie her to his bed and preform oral sex on her.  Tying her to the bed would have made her vulnerable, but Jodi agreed.   However, Travis' bed was a sleigh bed, and it was pushed up against the wall. It would have been difficult to tie her to the bed.  According to Jodi, it took two of them to make it possible.  Measurements needed to be made, so the rope needed to be cut in the bedroom.  Cutting the rope required a knife to be present.   The bed would have had to be pulled back from the wall to get the rope behind it......  it would have been so much easier to cut the rope into two pieces and tie it to the feet of the bed.

Instead of going the easy route, Jodi claimed the rope was looped behind the headboard.  She told Alyce Laviolette that the knife was left on the nightstand next to the bed.  Despite her fear, Jodi was willing to allow Travis to put her in a helpless position with a knife nearby.  And, to top that, she refused to go through with the oral sex.  Travis hadn't shaved, and it was irritating to her skin.  She was willing to invoke his rage and demanded he stop.  The risk of being stabbed while tied up was favorable to the irritation on her skin.  According to Jodi, Travis stopped as she commanded.

It was acts similar to the "abusive" bondage incident on June 4th that the defense used as a basis of the sexual abuse portion of their claim of domestic violence.  They claimed Travis sexually abused Jodi on multiple occasions and said he forced her into having graphic phone sex from a 1000 miles away.    An hour long phone sex recording (actual time 66 minutes) was presented to corroborate her claim.  According to the defense,  the recording was made up from five recordings stored in Jodi's Helio phone.

At the time, the only Helio phone capable of recording phone calls was the Helio Ocean. It had a feature called "record call."   All the Helio phones had a voice memo recording feature, but it couldn't be used to record calls.  To access the voice memo recording feature,  the main menu of the phone had to be open.  Opening the main menu sent the phone into standby mode.  Calls could not be made in standby mode;  the same keys to dial a number were used to navigate the menu.

During her testimony under oath,  Jodi Arias explained how she recorded the phone call.  To some, her story seemed to make sense.  To others, it didn't.  The instructions in the Helio Ocean manual proved part of Jodi's story was a lie.  However,  the manual couldn't be used to disprove all aspects of her story. For example,  it didn't address if a recording would be lost if the user hung up the phone before pressing save.  To know that, a Helio Ocean phone had to be examined.

I did just that.

The Helio company no longer exists.  However, their phones still can be found.  Calls still can be made on the phone,   but they will not connect to the number dialed.  The call will be redirected to a pre-recorded message to "chastise" the user for trying to make a call without paying the bill.

"Your account could not be validated.  Please contact customer service..... let me say it in Spanish too.....  message 5 switch 3-7-2.....  eeennnnn   eeennnnn ennnnn."

The pre-recorded message allowed enough time to experiment with the phone.  The results of the experiment showed Jodi lied.  Go figure.   A further inspection of the phone could be made if it were able to be connected to service. However, I have no idea how to do that.  If you do, please share your ideas in the comment section.  Also, if you have a question about a function of  the phone, please ask.

THE HELIO OCEAN PHONE

The hour long recording from the Helio Ocean was played in court while Jodi hid her face on the stand.  Jodi wiped her nose several times to give the impression she was crying.  She hardly ever wiped her eyes. She left her glasses on for the first 25 minutes of recording.  Anyone who has ever wore glasses knows that when the tears flow, the glasses come off.  If they don't, the salt from the tears cloud the lenses.   After the tape had ended,  Jodi didn't wipe her nose once. If she were wiping it because she had a cold, she should have.  Jodi was wiping her nose to make the jury believe hearing Travis voice was painful.  However, not one tear was shed.

After the tape had ended,  Jodi was questioned about it.  She started to lie almost immediately.  Jodi was asked to explain how the call occurred.  She started by explaining how the Helio phone came into her possession.  By the end of the trial,  the testimony would have contradicted another story she told.

"I got my Helio phone on the day I moved out of Arizona.  The phone I had was a Motorola Razor and I put it in the drink cup holder in the Uhaul truck and I went to sleep inside the truck and when I woke up in the morning I realized that I set it ....  in the bottom of the drink holder was a whole bunch of hot chocolate that spilled the day before and it basically soaked in hot chocolate all night so my phone didn't work anymore.  I met up with Gus Searcy somewhere in Southern California.  He has a free phone deal and he let me have the Helio."

1:23:14

The trip from Travis' house to California only took two and a half hours.  It would have been completed the same day she left.  Jodi implied she slept in the truck the day before she took that 2.5-hour trip.  Later,  Jodi told a different story.

KN: Did you stay with Travis before you moved back?

JA: Oh yeah, I did, the last 4 days,  it was somewhere between a week or almost that.

KN: Where were you sleeping?

JA: In his bed.

Which story is true?  Did she stay in Travis' bed the last four days before she left?  Did she sleep in her truck the night before she left Arizona while her phone soaked in hot chocolate?  Or,  did they put Travis' bed in her truck for the last night she was there so both of her statements could be true?  Jodi either lied about details of how she got the phone or she lied about staying in Travis' bed until the day she moved.  It's possible she may have even lied about both.

RECORDING WITH THE HELIO PHONE

In her testimony,  Jodi explained how she discovered the phone had the ability to record.

"So, as I had this phone and was figuring out the features, I realized I could record on it.  And I told Travis and we joked about recording it.  We tried that and a few times I failed at it because you have to hit a record button on the phone......" Jodi Arias testimony, day 17.

Jodi could have easily discovered the recording capabilities of the "voice memo" feature just from examining and playing around with the phone.  Finding out the "record call" function existed would not have been so easily uncovered.

To uncover the 'voice memo' feature,  Jodi only needed to scroll around inside the main menu.  She would have pressed the menu key, and the phone would have gone into standby mode and opened the menu. After accessing the menu,  she only needed to scroll to "7. plan"  and then to "8 voice memo."   Once she was more familiar with the phone,  she could have used the short-cut feature and pressed "menu + 7 + 8" instead.

The voice memo feature was easy to find.  On the other hand,  the 'record call' feature was not so easily uncovered.  Unless they read the manual,  a person had to be on an active call to learn it existed.    When a call connected, a prompt for "menu" appeared in the lower left-hand corner of the phone.  Pressing the menu key opened up an 'in-call' menu that could only be accessed during a call. Opening the menu displayed six features that could be accessed during a call:
contacts
call history
speaker-phone
three-way calling
send message
my number
However, there was a seventh.  In order to reach the seventh,  the user had to scroll down to find it.

7. record call

Finding the record call function wasn't something the user came casually across,  such as they might when  playing with the phone to 'figure out the features.'

VOICE MEMO RECORDING

The voice memo feature was designed to provide the user the ability to record a personal memo. It was not designed for recording calls and could not be used to do so. When the voice memo feature was initiated,  the recording immediately began.  A user could record up to sixty minutes at a time. After the sixty-minute limit was reached,  the recording would automatically stop and save.  The user didn't need to instruct the phone to save, it just did.  The automatic save was a design feature to compensate for user absent mindedness.

It was possible for the user to record a memo shorter than sixty minutes.  To to this,  she had two choices to choose from:
"Hanging up" the phone by sliding it shut.
Closing, or "hanging up" the phone immediately stopped the recording and the message was automatically saved
The "save" button did not need to be pressed.
Pressing the "save" button (Helio Insignia) when the recorded words were captured.
keeps phone open and ready to use other features.

The user may have been under the impression the red "end key" would have stopped and saved the voice memo recording as well.  She would have quickly learned she was wrong.  When it was pressed at the end of a voice memo, the end key served as a "start-over" button.  It told the phone "Stop, forget this, go back and start again."  The voice memo was never saved because it was like it never happened.

The end key was also used to end a call.  Someone who learned a voice memo was lost when the end key was pressed may have had the same impression when it came to the record call function.  However, their assumption would have been wrong.

A voice memo could not exceed sixty minutes on the Helio phone.  If a longer message was desired,  another voice memo needed to be started.  When the first memo ended and saved,  it was stored as an audio file in the voice memo menu.  The memo was identified by a ten digit code made up of the date it was created and the order in which it was recorded.  For example,  if it was the first recording on the phone and it occurred on May 5, 2008 the code would be 0505080001.   This memo would be stored in slot one on the voice memo menu screen.  When the user opened the voice memo menu, she would see:

0505080001
The second memo recorded on the phone would have a "2" as the last character of the code.  However, the newest recorded memos were always stored in the number one slot. For example,  if the user saved her second memo on May 8th, 2008, the voice memo screen would show:
0508080002
0505080001
A third memo recorded on May 10th would do the same:
0510080003
0508080002
0505080001
And so on.  If the user deleted one of the memos in between, it would show because the last digits would no longer be consecutive.  For example, if the May 8th memo were deleted, the screen would show:
0510080003
0505080001

RECORD CALL FEATURE

Recorded calls were saved the same way as voice memos.  For example, if two minutes of a  recorded call were saved on May 11th, 2008,  the voice memo menu would have shown:

0511080004
0510080003
0505080001

The features were stored the same way,  but they did not have the same characteristics.   For example, a  voice memo could be saved up to sixty minutes;  a recorded call could not.  According to the Helio Ocean user manual,  the recording of a call was limited to up to three minutes at a time.


Helio Ocean page 34

When we recorded things like that, he liked to play it back. The first few times I forgot to save it because it went all one long recording......" Jodi Arias testimony, day 17.

It was impossible for the user to have recorded "one long recording" of a phone call on the Helio phone.  The Helio's call recording was limited to three minutes at a time.  The recording would have had to be "several short recordings."   In order to get "one long recording" on the Helio phone,  Jodi would have had to use the voice memo feature.  A phone call and the use of the voice memo could not have occurred simultaneously.

At the end of the three-minute limit,  the recording would have ended and automatically saved.  There was no user input needed to tell the phone to save the recording;  it just did it.  If "one long recording" was desired,  the user had to command the phone to start recording again.  She only needed to press "menu + 7" to do it.  The prior recording would have been saved in its own slot, and the new one would begin.   Even though the recordings came from one call, they would not be saved as "one long recording."   Instead, they would have been saved as "several short recordings."    For example, if the user made a second call on May 11th and saved nine minutes of it, the voice memo menu screen would have shown:

0511080007   --- (the last three minutes of the call)
0511080006   --- (the middle three minutes of the call)
0511080005   ---(the first three minutes of the call)
0511080004  ---(the two recorded call made earlier)
0510080003  ---(the third recording on the phone via voice memo)
0505080001 ---(The first recording on the phone - the second was deleted)

The phone recording heard in court was not created from "one long recording." It was created from five long recordings.

"...... I received from Mr. Nurmi's office was a recording, uh, actually 7 recordings from the telephone, and I was asked to clean them up."  Bryan Neumeister, testimony, day 13.

"I just want to clarify. On Thursday, I did bring in a DVD that had seven clips on it. And it was agreed by all parties to redact two clips, so this is a modified DVD that has five of the seven original clips that I received." Bryan Neumeister, testimony, day 13.

The Helio phone could only record three minutes of a phone call at a time. There should have been at least twenty-two recordings to create the sixty-six-minute long phone call.  The defense only used five.

The recording of the call could not have occurred the way Jodi Arias claimed it did.  She lied on the stand.

SAVING A RECORDED CALL

The record call feature recorded calls for up to three minutes during the call. Due to the limited time allotted,  most of the time the user didn't have to intervene to save her call.  At the end of the three minutes, the call was automatically saved.  It would have continued to be saved for each time the user pressed "menu + 7" and let the three minutes run its course.  

"So throughout the conversation I began to hit save, save, save so I didn't forget. So at least even if I forgot at the last moment at least a portion of it was saved." Jodi Arias, testimony, day 17.

The phone recording was sixty six minutes long. She didn't need to press "save-save-save."  She needed to press "record-record-record."

The record call feature would record until the three minutes were up.  However, as with the voice memo feature, there may have been circumstances in which the user didn't need the entire allotted time.  If not, she could have chosen three ways to save the recording.  The first two ways were the same method used to save a memo.  The third was not.

"Hanging up" the phone by sliding it shut.
The recording stops and the portion of the call is automatically saved.
The save button does not need to be pressed to save the message.
The phone call ends
Pressing the "save" button (Helio insignia) when the desired portion of the call has been captured.
The recording ends.
The call can continue.
If desired, recording can continue in a later portion of the call
Saved as separate recordings.
Pushing the red "end key" button.
Unlike the voice memo,  it does not  erase the phone call.
What happens when the end key is pressed:
The "recording" sign on the screen disappears
A big "SAVED" flashes on the screen
The call is saved and it ends.

"We tried that and a few times I failed at it because you have to hit a record button on the phone.  And if you hang up the phone at the end of the conversation before hitting save then it doesn't save the conversation."Jodi Arias, testimony, day 17.

"The first few times I forgot to save it, because it went all one long recording, and I would hang up, not thinking and lost the recording and he would get upset." Jodi Arias, testimony, day 17.

Hanging up the phone before pushing 'save' does not result in the recording being lost.  Jodi Arias lied.

HELIO CALL CLARITY

The record call feature of the Helio phone was specifically designed to record phone calls.  The purpose was to capture the words of the speaker on the other end.   It would have been an obsolete feature if the words of the speaker on the other end were not clear.  Voices recorded during a phone call on the Helio phone come out clear no matter if it was the caller or the person on the other end.

" September 15 of 2010  I was asked to enhance an audio recording that was made from a telephone where the person speaking on the phone had recorded the audio and the person on the other side could not be heard really well.  So I was asked to clean it up."  Bryan Neumeister, testimony, day 13.

When a phone call is recorded,  it is usually with a microphone located outside of the call.  The microphone captures the voices of the participants in two different manners.  The voice of the person who is doing the recording is captured directly.   Their voice is recorded more clearly than the person on the other end. The voice of the person on the other end has to pass through a speaker, either the earphone or speakerphone before it is captured.  The speaker causes the voice to be lower, distorted, and harder to understand on tape.  The result is the voices are not 'equal' when the recording is played back.

"Because very often if it's a telephone recording, the person speaking is very loud and the person on the other end is very hard to hear."  Bryan Neumeister, testimony, day 13.

"Finally, in order to bring up Mr. Alexander's voice to Ms. Arias' voice, we used a program called "Waves Compression"  where we could set the voices to be equal."

The Helio 'record call' feature was designed for excellent clarity.  The participants are recorded from within the call.  The result is both voices are captured as clearly as the time the words were first spoken.  The voices are equal when the recording is played back.

If Jodi used the Helio record call function to record Travis, his voice would have been able to be heard just as well as hers. Jodi Arias lied.

PLAYING BACK RECORDINGS

Playing back recordings on the Helio phone was easy.  If someone could have "figured out" how to record a phone call, they could have easily "figured out" how to play one back.  The recordings were saved in the same spot the user would have gone to use the voice memo record button. If the user was able to create four long recordings after the first one, then she knew where the recordings were saved.  It didn't take much to figure out how to play them back. The word "play" was in the middle of the screen right above the "save/select" button.  It didn't take an IQ of 120 to figure it out.

"I also had 1 or 2 recorded conversations that were equally as scandalous.  I never did figure out how to play those back for him." Jodi Arias,  journal entry, May 22.

Playing back a recording saved in the voice memo menu was fairly easy.
Press Menu + 7 + 8 to open the 'voice memo' menu (the place a person would check to see if a message saved)
Once opened, the voice memo menu displayed any saved recordings
The user could have either pressed the number of the desired recording or use the scroll button to select it and then press the save/select button, then the recording would automatically  play over and over until the user interacted and instructed the message to stop.

Jodi Arias had 5 long recordings saved on the phone.  She knew how to play them back. Jodi Arias' journal entry was faked.

DELETING A RECORDING

According to Jodi,  "hanging up" the phone before she pressed "save" caused the message to not save. Her story was a lie.   "Hanging up"  a phone call would have neither prevented a message from being saved nor deleted it.    It was difficult to delete a message accidentally.   A user had to go through several steps to delete a message.  And, at they end they were asked "are you sure?"
Steps:
Press "Menu + 7 + 8"
Scroll to the voice memo to be deleted.
Press the "menu" button again (the word "menu" will be noted on the lower left corner of the screen)
Use the scroll key to pick the choice desired
Delete
Delete all
Rename
File Info
Send Message
Press Delete/ or delete all
A second verification window will open. Press yes to confirm if the file is to be deleted.

HOW?

Jodi Arias did not use the Helio Ocean phone to record Travis. She had to use another device. When she was arrested,  it appeared that Jodi was in the middle of making preparations to flee.  Part of those preparations was to get rid of the evidence before she ran.  A digital recorder was discovered in a trash can at her home.

The discovery of the digital recorder in Arias' trash is a very telling sign.  It supports what many people believe:  The fact she recorded Travis was somehow related to the murder.  If the recording were harmless, she wouldn't have felt the need to lie about it.   The presence of a digital recorder also showed that Jodi had the means to edit the recording heard in court. She could have taped multiple conversations with the digital and used the voice memo function of the Helio to help her get things "just right."

If Jodi used a digital recorder, she would have had to use the speakerphone function on her Helio phone.  There were clues on the phone recording that the speakerphone was used.  The Helio record call function was not accessible in speakerphone mode.   And, the Helio recorded calls from within the call;  outside noises were not usually captured that well.   During the infamous sex tape,  the sounds of Jodi opening and closing her door can be heard. It shouldn't have been if she were using the Helio Ocean to record.  However, if she were using a digital recorder, it would have been noticeable.

Trial Day 17, sex tape, 39:30 mark
JA: Hang on... I thought I heard somebody. Let me double check. I think it was my purger.

The door can be heard opening and closing.  
JA: Ok, we're good. The coast is clear. Let me get back into the groove. hang on a minute.

The quality and characteristics of the recording show that it was the digital recorder, not the Helio recorder, which Jodi used to record Travis. The fact the recordings were taken from the Helio phone and not the digital recorder meant they could have been edited in the process of transferring the audio to the phone.  If you listen close to the phone sex recording, you will notice there are parts where words were cut off,  parts where pieces of conversation seem to be missing, and parts where the subject suddenly changed.  There are further signs of editing in the areas such as clicks or combined digital words.

Sex tape for reference

Portions removed

Listen 9:08 - 9:23
What was the "Hey hey not true lets not go there" referring to?
Two conversations combined together? Or portions removed?

Listen 11:06 - 11:14
The context indicates there was more said or it wasa different conversation.
Two different conversations?

Listen 13:35 - 14:10
Despite the claim the call was for sexual purposes, the conversation abruptly changed from sex to his itinerary.  However, there was a "click" in between
More cut out or two different conversations?

Listen 26:00 -26:33
The conversation heard in court could have been from different days, and it likely was.  Per Jodi, the entire conversation occurred on May 10th, 2008.  She claimed it was Travis who was eager to have phone sex again, and they had already on multiple occasions.  However,  Travis' first words do not sound like those of a man who had lots of experience with the phone sex.  They sound like a man who didn't know how to go about it.

TA:  Why don't we talk about happy things for a bit, and get normalized for a moment, and we'll see where it takes us.

And, midway through,  Jodi's comment sounded like a woman who knew she was saying something she shouldn't have been.  If the purpose of the call was for phone sex, there was no reason to cover up her intent with "just joking."

TA: your at the top of the list.
JA: In more ways than one....hahahaha...Just joking. That was funny.
TA: I laughed.

According to Jodi,  the recording was made after a minor argument followed by a discussion online that turned sexual:

" that day I can't remember if we were talking or chatting but he said something kind of mean and I got  offended and then we got online  and started chatting about it. And, the conversation turned sexual again,  he wanted to get off the phone so that we could further the conversation. I told him I needed a little bit of time to psych myself out of the bad mood..... the sad mood I was in because I didn't want to talk to him in that kind of mood. At least that wasn't the mood he wanted me to be in.    After that.....     we logged off  and I think I called him a little while later."

The offensive comment couldn't have been on the evening of May 10th.  Travis wasn't home between 7p and 11:30 pm.  He wasn't by a computer until 11:50 PM.  At 12:05 am,  Jodi asked him if he would check out her profile picture.  Travis asked her where, and she told him MySpace.  Travis looked at it and gave her feedback on the photo.  He told it wasn't her best, but still good.   They continued to text every few minutes until 1:03 when both went t to sleep.

It possibly could have occurred during the late hours of May 9th,  but the conversation in the sex tape makes it unlikely.  During the sex tape,  Jodi asked Travis if he saw her new profile picture.  He didn't, and didn't even ask her where. Instead, he said, "Sorry, I forgot.  I will go check it now."  In the sex tape, Travis already knew where the profile picture was located.  The context implied he went to go look at it at that point.  If so, why would she have asked him again the following night and why would he had said "where?"

The fight on May 9th didn't fit the one Jodi described.  They were neither talking or chatting at the time.   Jodi was upset that day because she discovered, after all the work she did to help him, Travis didn't show his gratitude by mentioning her in his blog. However,  he mentioned another woman who was a friend.   A bit later,  he didn't listen to her poem.  In return, Jodi "accidentally" sent him a text that she claimed was meant for another man.  In the text she implied Travis was invading her privacy.  The text insulted Travis because it was Jodi who violated his countless of times.  Jodi refused to acknowledge why he was mad,  so he pretended to be done with her.  Communication stopped until Jodi "accidentally" sent him another text an hour and a half later.  It was an obvious attempt to goad him on.

"Oh, not that U would, but don't tell him"

The text made Travis angrier and the fight started again.  Travis was the one offended, not Jodi.  In fact, Jodi took responsibility and apologized to him first.  It wasn't until an hour after both had apologized that they went online and started to chat.

The May 10th, 2008 chat has not been posted in it's full context yet.  The people at Beth Karas' site have asked a couple of times and are hoping to get it.  However, parts of the chat were shared in court by the defense. And, from what was shared,  it didn't seem like Jodi told Travis she needed time and would have phone sex with him later.

11:57 JA:  I'm still feeling icky emotionally.  Probably better if we didn't right now.  I don't wanna bring you down were I am right now.   Believe me, you don't wanna be here.  Sorry, that's just me. This conversation has cheered me up a bit tho.  Thank you.  I know your not the only one who's had a bad day.  I'm just slow to get cheery some times.

11:58 TA: Well, if you erupted it might help
JA:   Well I'm as dormant as Mt. Shasta right now. Beautiful, majestic, and nowhere near erupting.

12:06  JA: Well,  I want you to get scandalous with me. I am tired of the phone. I miss feeling you touching you smelling you.

The content that was released from the May 10th G-chat gave the appearance that Jodi wasn't in the mood for phone sex. The defense's psychologist, Dr. Fonseca,   seemed to have a similar impression.  Per her words, Jodi wasn't giving in this time to Travis' request for phone sex.

""She is just flat, she can't mobilize the energy.  Very different from the past. In the past there has never been a rejection. It wasn't call me tomorrow, I'm too tired... Here, it's I'm too icky."

It was never shared in testimony if Jodi Arias told Travis during the G-chat that she needed time to psych herself up for the phone sex.  It's possible she did,  but if so, why wouldn't either the state or the defense point it out?

During G-chat,  Jodi also discussed her concerns about not being able to find a husband who could satisfy her sexually.  During the sex tape, she said it again.  However, this time she thought it was 'awkward' to bring up.  How could it be awkward if they just discussed it an hour earlier?

this is kind of an awkward subject to bring up but eventually we are both going to remarry.. (remarry???) people but I just get the feeling that there are not a lot of Mormon guys like that......  I want to marry a return missionary, but like you, someone who could be freaky.  I just worry about that. There are plenty of nice people out there.  I worry that I might feel like a wilting flower is all.

CONSENT?

Jodi Arias alleged Travis Alexander agreed to be recorded.  However, his words said something different.  In the May 10th G-chat, the one Jodi claimed occurred just prior to the phone sex,  Travis expressed his fear as to what would happen if the conversation got 'out.'

No, but if someone found this conversation that I would like to have it would get us in trouble."

Travis had concerns about the sexual content getting them in 'trouble.'  It was because he was already on Mormon "probation."  He lost his Temple Recommend and would not get it back unless he stayed on the straight and narrow.   He had too much to risk just to be able to listen to a "repeat" of a conversation.  

Travis would have been risking his future as well.  He only had until his 31st birthday to find a girlfriend who had a potential to marry.  The deadline was three months away, and he was freaking out about it. If the contents of the sex tape were released,  it would have ruined his chances of finding such a woman. And, there would not have been enough time left to allow the scandal to blow over.  Additionally,  Travis wanted to reconcile with Lisa Andrews, even if only in friendship.   Any romantic association with Jodi would have ruined his chances.  Lisa was a lot more important to Travis than Jodi was.

It wasn't only his personal life the phone recording could have caused difficulties in;  his professional life would have been affected too.  Travis worked in a profession where it was important to keep positive relationships with associates.  His advancement depended on people liking him and his ability to influence others.   He was working towards qualifying for Cancun at the time, and he needed the help of others to make the cut.  Additionally, he had his eyes set on becoming the regional manager.   If it got out that he called his co-workers evil, soulless, and a waste of potential it could have been very damaging to his reputation.

Travis had too much to loose to allow such damaging content to remain in the hands of Jodi Arias 1000 miles away.  Jodi had violated his privacy countless of times.   She had lied to him over and over again. He knew she had taken a ring from his house. He believed she had slashed his tires, sent the "John Smith" email to Lisa, and stole his journals.   He was too suspicious of her to give her that kind of control when he had very little to gain.

If Travis wanted to record the call, he could have done it himself. Travis had a smartphone. Jodi testified about it.  Even way back in 2008, Smartphones had apps.

If he wanted to tape the sex, Travis could have downloaded a call recording app.  That way, he wouldn't have had to worry about Jodi's alleged multiple failures to save the recording. He wouldn't have had to worry about it getting in the wrong hands.  And, he wouldn't have had to wait for Jodi before he could hear it.

WHY LIE?

Jodi had to make up the elaborate story about the "save-save-save" because she knew the tape was edited, and she knew people would notice.  There should not have been any reason for the signs of editing if she admitted to using the digital recorder to record the session.    It would have been, like Jodi stated, one long recording. And, there should not have been any 'clicks' if Jodi used the Helio record call to record him. The "menu + 7" did not produce any sounds when 'resetting' the in-call recording.   The phone recording contained multiple signs of editing that Jodi had to cover up.

The presence of editing in the tape suggested many things.  The context could have been changed.  Jodi could have removed statements involving her prior bad acts.   The tape could have been from many different days. And, if it was it meant she taped him on several different days but never played it back.  Most of all, the presence of editing meant Jodi's intentions for the tape were nefarious in nature.

WHY TAPE HIM?

When Jodi was minutes away from Travis, she had the benefit of controlling him with the promise of sex.  She admitted she used sex to get his attention.

"The sexual part of me was an unevolved way of trying to be more loved.  I knew you weren't in love with me.  I knew you cared, but it wasn't that kind of love.  So when we made love, I was able to convince myself, yes lie to myself...........It's like you nearly worshiped me. I left soooooo loved when we did that. It became absolutely addicting....................   The better I was, the more you wanted me, the more you wanted me, the more we got to be together."

Travis' attention gave her a 'high'.  She was addicted to the way it made her feel and wasn't ready to let it go.  Attention from other men didn't give her the same kind of high.   She tried,  but it wasn't the same.

When Jodi moved, she had a hard time leaving.  She wasn't ready to let go and hoped Travis would ask her to stay.  The defense attempted to say it was Travis who didn't want to let Jodi go, but the evidence shows otherwise.

I know I'll miss her but I am certain it will be the best for both of us. Plus, I need to get married and she (Jodi) and get in the way of that and does in fact." 3/27/08

"Jodi keeps leaving but hasn't left.....  I know she is having a hard time, but I think I'd be better off and so would she if she got out of here."4/3/08

"I want a girlfriend that has the potential to marry.  Now that Jodi is gone and DeAnna is moving, space is created, less drama can ensue."4/08/08

When Jodi finally left,  she lost the benefit of being close.  She could no longer rely on sex to keep his attention.   On April 10th, Travis had enough strength to stay away.

"I didn't speak to Jodi for the entire day. Wow. I thought that would never happen. I loved it. No negativity." 4/10/08

Jodi discovered she could get attention from Travis through the use of phone sex.  But it was short-lived.  According to his texts, Travis was getting the real thing from Chaitanya Lay.  There was not much Jodi could offer him over the phone that Chaitanya couldn't offer him in person.  "Fun time with Jodi" had become obsolete.  And Jodi didn't like it.  Jodi could no longer control Travis, so she decided to eliminate the competition.  The phone sex call would have been sure to chase away any
"proper" Mormon woman.  And, if other opportunities were gone, Travis would have had no choice but to turn back to Jodi to fulfill his sexual needs.

WOW - a lot being said since I last read posts!!

I do not have a lot to say but have a few comments.......

1. I do not believe for one minute that the accusations being made about all the "secrets" and mishandling of this case by those involved are unique and have never happened (if they actually did|) before in other cases.

This case became a media sensation and EVERY word, action and nuance has been scrutinized to the nth degree because of this sensationalism surrounding Arias by the media.

The same participants remained throughout the trial. The judge, the defense attorneys and the prosecution, all remained. Had there been what so many believe was obvious misconduct on behalf of these people, there would have been repercussions and possible sanctions done DURING the trial.
JSS ran her courtroom by her standards and although the trial took far longer than maybe it should have, it was concluded and she remained as the trial judge with a conviction and sentence. It may not have been the sentence that the public and the Alexander family wanted but Arias is gone for the rest of her natural life.

Juan Martinez is an extremely professional and honest man and had he felt there was any misconduct, on anyone's part, he would have addressed the issue(s) without delay.

Because other cases were not honed in on by the media AND social media, the general public is not aware of all the "inside" things that could have been going on.
Again, Arias case is not unique - just a media hype. Other cases have been just as horrific but did not have a defendant who played the media and the legal system like Arias.

2. The letter
Sure, Arias wrote it and I believe for a number of reasons.
- it brought her back into the limelight and quite obviously by the fact that it is being discussed so much
- it is packed with so many lies as she is adept at doing that
- she remains in her world of complete fantasy that people actually care about her and her wrongful conviction and sentence
- by projecting that prison life is not as bad as everyone believes, she denies her abject fear of where she is and where she is going to remain
The letter is absolute bullshit and I am surprised that so much analysis is being done on it. One cannot believe anything that comes from her and I would have thought that that was realized by now.

3. The Alexander family
I do not believe that they are "slapping JSS in the face" by not attending the restitution hearing.
I am sure that this is a family that is trying to move on.
They have a competent lawyer representing them. There is no need for them to attend court.
They have successfully seen Arias put away for life for her deed(s).
They just want their lives back.

As long as ANYTHING that has to do with Arias is continually reported through the media and social media, she is getting what she wants - continued notoriety.
She is a convicted and sentenced murderess who needs to be forgotten.

Just Posting' I don't want revenge aspect, beyond Jodi serving Hard Time;

Angela Simpson Tormented and Tortured Disabled Man

Phoenix, AZ – Terry Neely, 46, was last seen in his motorized wheelchair leaving his home at an assisted living complex on the evening of August 2. The next time anyone laid eyes on Neely, he was a charred and dismembered body left burning in a trash can. (Really folks, what’s with all the fires lately? Damn). Judging by the information being released, Neely didn’t go quickly or quietly – he had been systematically tortured for as many as three days. Now, who the hell would be so callous and cruel as to pick on a defenseless disabled guy? According to authorities, the smiling vixen you see here, Angela Simpson, might have had something to do with it. As a matter of fact, she ‘fessed up to being the callous and cruel human who made Neely’s last days on earth a living hell. And she told all to authorities in return for a candy bar.

Emergency crews were called out to Covenant Grace Christian Fellowship Church to extinguish a trash bin on fire on August 5. After the flames were put out, the crew discovered a charred, dismembered, and mutilated dead guy. Officials were later able to identify the body, through fingerprints, as Neely. Through some good old fashioned police work and leads from the community, authorities soon found the original scene of the crime – an abandoned apartment often frequented by Simpson and some dude who goes by the name ‘Cracker.’

Inside the apartment, bloodstains. And lots of ’em. Testing revealed the blood had, at one time, been in Neely’s body. The cops wanted to have a little palaver with Simpson – luckily for them, they knew exactly where to find the little scamp – she was already behind bars – being held on charges pertaining to an unrelated armed robbery. Simpson made the whole process easier for the cops. She offered to spill the beans about everything in exchange for a candy bar. Sated by chocolate, she began to tell a tale of vile cruelty.

For one reason or another, Simpson believed Neely was a snitch and was working with prosecutors. (Possibly on the armed robbery charge)? Well, for one reason or another, that really bothered the shit out of her and she felt the need to vent. She lured Neely into the apartment with the promise of sex, and once he was inside, Simpson began the torture. Keep in mind, investigators believe Neely had been alive and painfully aware throughout a good part of it all. Neely had been beaten with a tire iron and hammer. His teeth were pulled out. He had been strangled with a TV cable. His throat had been cut. He had been stabbed approximately 50 times. He had a 3-inch nail hammered into his brain. He had been dismembered. Good. Gawd. This bitch is beyond batshit crazy. After the crude dismemberment, Simpson borrowed a car from the apartment manager and tossed Neely’s body in the trunk. Video surveillance from a nearby elementary school captured a car matching the description of the manager’s vehicle traveling by with something big sticking out of the trunk. The video was from the day Neely’s body was found. After Simpson tossed Neely’s body, she returned the vehicle to it’s owner and confessed to “killing the guy in the wheelchair” and threatened to kill him if he spoke of it. All of the injuries she admitted to doling out were confirmed at autopsy. She was adamant with authorities that she had acted alone in the maiming, torturing, and flaming. Investigators aren’t 100% convinced that Simpson is the only person involved in the murder, but, they do believe that most of the heinous shit was committed by her. I betcha we’ll be hearing about Cracker pretty soon. Angela Simpson, 33, is being charged with first-degree murder.
