2/4/13 Day 14- Computer Guy and Jodi Arias

2/‎4/‎2013
Morning
Jodi's wearing black shirt and some of her hair is pinned back. (Not a pretty hairstyle for someone her age)

Jodi

Judge asks for counsel to approach right off the freaking bat.



Def is up first.

Dworkin is up (computer guy from Friday) and Palin(def) is doing the talking.

Computer Guy

Hard drive belonged to Jodi. Helio phone- Like a smart phone. Received the phone on 6-30-10. He got the information off of it. He had problems getting information.
There are NO forensic tools even now to get information off the phone. It was Jodi's phone. There was  a screensaver of Jodi and another girl.
                                 
                   

Jodi and her sister

         
Audio from phone-7 or 8 recordings of audio on Jodi's phone. He also did screen captures. That means he took pictures of the screen with a camera. LOL. He took pictures of the text messages. Canyon camera (dude has a hard time finding his information) Uh oh, dude hasn't any paperwork for receiving the camera. It's saved on his iPhone or some kind of crap like that. 1-15-13 is when he checked it in. He takes all the information off of the camera.

All he is doing is explaining how he gets off the information from all the devices and what he does to protect the information. A funny twitter post ( I wonder how long it would take this guy to discuss how to make Mac & cheese. #jodiarias)

I think the def. Is trying to say something happened to the camera before this dude got it.

The camera

 

JM objected to Def's question
Approach (Judge)
Did the camera come from the Mesa police? YES, in a shopping bag (brown bag) with special markings. Then they spend 10 minutes talking about the paper bag.
Memory card-Did you pull photo's off the card? YES. Def. Are showing more photos.
JM just told him to hold the photos down, so nobody could see them.

He's still talking about computers, memory cards, and how it all works. Blah, blah, blah. I need a muscle relaxer bad. I should nickname him "Mac and cheese" b/c the above twitter post that I posted, it totally fits this guy. He loves his job.
State objects to all these photos

Memory card

Approach (judge)
Judge asked the jury to leave the room
Jodi left the room now we have to wait for her to come back(maybe she had to poop)

Approach (judge) after Jodi came back in.

State objects about a picture of Jodi with a black dog and other "good girl" pictures. I guess the state doesn't want these pictures shown unless Jodi takes the stand (that's what JM says) The def. Lawyers are smirking in the background. Some of the photos were taken after Travis was dead. Def. is saying they show her hair color and these dates. Her hair had been brown for months. def. says. Pink panties with Travis' is because their expert needs that to show how Travis treated Jodi.

Objection overruled and all photo's admitted.
Jury back in court

Def. is finished
Cross
State: Mac & Cheese didn't examine any of the physical computers...... He just made copies.
Internet history- Victims computer- EX: 419-Deanne Reed and Travis Alexander.

Travis and Deanne

Someone is going on YouTube? YES. Daft Bodies are a rock group? I DON"T KNOW. JM is hitting him hard on this. Mac and Cheese has NO knowledge of any of this. HAHA.
 I want to kiss JM. He's wanting to know why this guy didn't check out what these youtube's were instead of assuming they were porn?
Def. wants to approach
Approach (judge)

JM is still hitting him on the youtubes.
 Free web proxy-Video. Mac and Cheese NEVER checked out any of these youtube links. This computer guy doesn't seem to know much about actual web sites and questions about them.
Victims computer- Did you check to see if there were ANY images of women's breast? NO. Computer guy did not check for any porn on Travis' computer. HAHA.
 JM just told him "Not a long answer, sir"

Mac just said there was some porn on the computer. BUT a few years ago when he interviewed with JM, there was no porn on the computer.
Hard Drive- Jodi's. Damaged? YES. This guy doesn't have a very good memory at all. JM seems to have that effect on def. Witnesses.
Canyon camera-Jodi's- posed pictures of panties and the sweater. Mac&Cheese doesn't know who took the picture. Jodi took all these pictures after Travis' death. Mac&Cheese is NOT an expert on hair. M&C doesn't know when Jodi dyed her hair. M&C does not know the name of the dog or the other girl in the picture with Jodi. M&C does try to be an expert on hair, though. LOL. This is a freaking circus.

Approach (judge)

What's the color of the hair? I can't make a determination
No questions

Redirect...wait a minute, JM has one more question.
JM: Showing M&C photos. Did these photo's come from the hard drive that was broken? IDK.

Def is up-

Never mind it will take a little longer is what Def. said.
Lunch.



Back from Lunch 5 minutes early. Oh no, I think they went into sidebar.

Computer guy is up again. Def. Are asking the questions.

Computer Guy

Redirect- 419 internet history. Talking about time. Total internet history Approx. 100,000 entries. He was never asked to look at any YouTube videos. How many images contained on Jodi's broken hard drive? (Dude is looking them up) (Nevermind, he doesn't have it with him) Thousands of images were his estimate. It took days to retrieve.

EX 419

EX 419

The video Travis looked at

Questions from Jury
The date and time stamps can be manually changed? YES. Change it only after the fact unless you change the camera's settings

Follow up from Def. - Nevermind. It was basically what the jury asked, he just gets more time to answer. He didn't see any evidence of anything being tampered with.

State- 413-Photograph- Is it possible the photo was taken at one date and uploaded later? Anything is possible
The state wants to keep Mr. Dworkin under recall

Def calls next witness
Bryan Neumister- USA forensic for video and audio. 32 years. He has TONS of experience. So much that he needed several pages to read from to remember. He takes no side, he just points out the facts.

The video Guy

Cleans up all types of videos and retrieves deleted stuff from sound and video. He was retained to clean up a telephone conversation. I'm not kidding, this dude is certified up the butthole. (I think we are fixing to get some phone sex for our afternoon delight)

Approach (judge)

They are fixing to show diagrams that kind of shows what he does. The state does not object.
7 recording he received and Nurmi wanted him to clean them up. This shit he is talking about now is WAY OVER MY HEAD. 5 minutes later....still over my head.

From what my simple mind soaks up...he had to change so much to hear the voices, that there is no way you can tell if it's Travis' voice. 2 people talking.

Approach (judge) b/c the def wanted to know if the people every refer to the other's name on the telephone. State objects as hearsay. Objection overruled

Travis calls her Jodi and Jodi calls him Travis and he refers to himself as Mr. Alexander.
EX: 428-DVD audio-5 clips-2 were taken off.
Approach (Judge)
The two clips had nothing to do with this case

Cross- Did you compare Travis' voice? YES
No further questions. No redirect. No jury questions. Huh?

Approach (judge)

Jury members have to leave for Approx. 3 minutes. (That's what the judge said)

Jodi left again. She must of had some bad food or something.

Jodi is taking the stand

Jodi

Def. Asks her how she feels right now? Jodi is nervous (she says in her babydoll voice)

Approach (Judge)

Did you kill Travis? YES
Why? He attacked me and I defended myself.
You gave an interview with Inside Edition? YES. No jury would convict me? Yes, I did say that. Why? At the time I wanted to commit suicide. "The most bitter words I will ever eat."

Now she's talking about her family. Parents have been married 33 Yrs. Until the age 7, Jodi had a good childhood. (Holy crap this chick)

Brother, Aunt, Mom

Brother and Sister

Dad

Her interest were pets, dogs, fish, cats, a lot of pets. Played. Camping. She forgot the question. She's nervous. After age 7, her parents hit her and spanked her. (eye roll) I think she's trying to say her parents abused her. The dad used a belt. Mom carried a wooden spoon in her purse.(she is lying)

Approach (judge) ( I must say....if looks could kill from Travis' sister, Jodi would be dead right now)

Speak up Jodi, her attorney says.
Mom would use the spoon on them. Pull the car over. Hit hard. It left welts. Mom's abuse was worse than dad.
Did you love your mother? YES. How many times would she beat you with the spoon? 4x's or every 2 weeks.
She went to a public school. Had a lot of friends. Art. Pets. Book reading. Piano lessons. What art did you like? Color when I was younger. (She can't help talking too much) and drawing. The beatings continued. They increased. We squirmed and the harder they would whack us. My mom broke my brother's vein. I felt betrayed. As I got older, I got mad.

Jodi and her mom

Dad- got worse. Shoved her into things. (She's talking too much and goes into too much detail) She was 16 or 17. Jodi would get grounded. She loved her dad. More details about schools and making friends (and more long details from Jodi)
Parents were lukewarm about Jodi's art. (Jodi stares right at the jury when she speaks)

Jodi and her dad

High school-9-12th. Jodi used to sneak out of the house and her dad hit her across the face when he found out. Didn't bleed or bruise. Her dad was into weightlifting. Martial Arts. Dad went to the gym a lot. The mom was aware of the dad beating her.... And they would take turns beating them together. Mom started using anything to hit Jodi.

Jodi in High school

She got into oil paint. She worked as a server at her dad's restaurant. Jodi did not graduate high school. She dropped out. She was living with her boyfriend at the time she dropped out. Why did you leave your parent's home? Basically, she got tired of her parents' rules. She had d's and f's her junior year. Bobby Juarez  was 3 yrs older than Jodi. He was unemployed. That was her boyfriend she moved in with. (JM looks bored and I am bored listening to her) OMFG, somebody shut her the freak up about this stupid stuff.

Jodi and Bobby

Vampire Bobby and Jodi

Jodi and Bobby. He escaped with his life

Vampire Hunters

Jodi was 15. Boyfriend was 18. I don't understand what any of this has to do with anything. Seriously, I'm fixing to throw my computer

Wine break. Hold on.
Don't worry, didn't miss anything. How in the world can anybody remember this much detail?
Bobby believed in vampires. He wanted to hunt vampires.

Vampires

They broke up (there were about 3 minutes of details about the breakup) and Jodi said he didn't take it so well.

State objects

Approach (judge)
Learned Boddy tried to kill himself by slitting both his wrist. She became his girlfriend again. Now she is talking about the bible. and the second coming. Jodi was trying to save Bobby's soul. (I can't wait until JM gets to question her)
Bobby hung up on her right away when she tried to get a hold of him. (save me mother. This girl talks way too much)

Recess

Late afternoon. Part 3 of 2/4/13

I think the Def is asking the judge something
Approach (judge) (now Jodi looks bored up on the stand)
Long delay, I think they are waiting for someone. Oh, waiting on the court reporters to switch out shifts.
Approach (judge)

Jodi back on the stand. Def is still up. Vampire Bobby again. UGH. How did the relationship progress after that? Well, at the time I had another boyfriend and it just happened. Bobby called the party line all the time. Victor Arias was her boyfriend that was in another country. (Yes he had the same last name) and she hooked up with her host's son during her trip. Holy crap, we are going to be he forever if we have to listen to every love story of hers. Victor gave her a promise ring. First young love experience.

Mario, Jodi, Bobby, and Victor

SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP Jodi!
Jodi broke up with Victor over the phone. She was still talking to VB. Serious around new years. Kiss kiss. Serious. She moved in with him around April. Her mom didn't like VB.( This is almost like reading the Twilight books. If Bobby starts sparkling, I am finished) Basically, VB was a huge loser and unemployed. Jodi was giving him money at some point. They were all living with his grandparents, maybe but they may have been older parents. (Shit, IDK). VB became ex-VB. He still had a flair. He thought when he was 20 that he was Brandon Lee from the crow.

Brandon Lee

What was the last straw for you to move out of your parent's house? They grounded me. (Here she goes on her long story again)

VB's parents smoked too much. The house was okay. They were hoarders. Kitchen and bathroom were dirty. Were you having sex with him? I don't remember (come on, yeah...hahahaha. No way was she not sleeping with him) Jodi had to pay for all their dates. I guess he was an illegal immigrant or was having problems proving he couldn't be in the state. Jodi went to work at Denny's. Full time. (She confuses her own attorney) She was not making a lot of money. They had run of the house b/c the parents moved into a rest home. Jodi wasn't paying any of the bills. Jodi bought groceries. The power was shut off. They used candles for a while. I think they were getting illegal power from the power company. VB treated Jodi well until she discovered VB was cheating on the party line. (Jesus, now another long side story)

A random hoard

How did you feel when you found the cheating letters? I was jealous a little bit.
VB was not that romantic with Jodi. VB smacked her around (another long ass story) (I want to bang my freaking head on my computer) (even her own family has that look)
VB told her he would kill everybody in her family. (folks, Jodi is fucking NUTS. NUTS I tell ya.) VB moved in with a friend named Matt (because he knew crazy)
Did you continue to engage in sex with him after this? I don't remember. Maybe.

Jodi moved in with her grandparents. She was close with her grandparents...but maybe not lovey dovey. Jodi took a trip to Costa rico. She saw Victor 3 days before she left.

More drama between Victor and VB. Shit. VB was her first true love (even thought she said Victor was above)

VB came to see her at Denny's with his puppy dog eyes (Jodi's words). They talked for a long time. They didn't get along after that. It was sexual but no romance.( Poor Victor and VB. All the news stations are going to be dying for their story now) VB moved to Oregon. But Jodi still visited and he didn't want anything to do with Jodi when he got on his feet. VB was talking to a girl in Louisiana (not me b/c I don't dig vampires and I like guys with jobs.)

She visited VB on the weekends. Matt McCarthy was the roommate VB stayed with. Matt was a good boyfriend to his girlfriend compared to VB treating Jodi. Her parents argued and fought. Jodi uses some big words to describe. Her dad likes to gossip. What things would he say? Objection from the state as hearsay.

Approach (judge)

Her dad puts up photos of her mom on the fridge basically calling her fat. They were loyal though. (Eye roll) They were united. Jodi's mom puts up with a lot from dad, but she remains loyal.

Jodi's brother, aunt, and mom

Jodi wanted to make some good money and she wanted a new car. Jodi was a couch surfer. She was staying at Matt's dads house. They were playing with wooden swords (Jodi and matt) and that when VB and Jodi ended it.

A random wooden sword

Jodi and Matt developed feelings for each other. Then she moved in with Matt in early 2000.

Matt

The court is over for the day.

Now I am fixing to get drunk. Holy Hell. That was painful.
