| I wonder if I can get the court to give me a spa day? Damn it. I need it. I deserve it. |
One juror is removed today, graphic photos are shown, Jodi's brother likes to stare at dead people, Juan likes to act and Dr. Horn admits he has never stabbed anybody.
One juror is running late for court.
Juan is still up for the state. He calls Dr. Horn.
 |
| at least the Dr. is nice to look at. |
They start going through the very graphic photos of Travis' body. Twitter accounts say the family is staring down the whole time. "I'm convinced that the gunshot wound was last," Horn said. (I heard Jodi's little brother starred at the pictures the whole time. Jodi's other family members looked straight ahead)
Juan is finished and Palin is up.
Twitter folks say she is bad. Very bad. She basically had everybody confused about her questions on bullet paths, and autopsies. They say she is very condescending.
Question: The juror wanted to know if the time/sequence of injuries were detailed in the autopsy report."I don't specifically address those in my report," Horn answered.
Other questions were about injuries Alexander sustained and if they would have been fatal.
He said the injuries would not have been immediately fatal. The cut to the throat would have allowed a few seconds of consciousness.
Twitter was explaining how Juan jumped at Dr. Horn when Juan comes back up and Juan starts going through the motions of stabbing someone. Juan wanted to know how easy it would be to stab someone and Dr. Horn basically shrugs and says "I don't stab people" and Palin is on her feet objecting like crazy.
Horn steps down and the court takes (looks like almost an hour) long recess.
Juror #9 is dismissed after asking TV commentator Beth Karas if she was Nancy Grace. Remaining jurors left- 11 women, 6 men.
Martinez has called Nathan Mendes to the stand.
Mendes is a Special Agent with the U.S. Dept of the Interior, who was a Siskiyou County Sheriff's Detective when Arias was arrested. Mendes conducted the July 2008 search of Arias' grandparents' home in Yreka, California, where Arias was living at the time of Alexander's death.

Sidebar
Jodi was loading stuff into her car on the morning the police went to arrest her. Mendes said there was a suitcase in the trunk of the car. Asked by Martinez if it contained "birth control items," Mendes answered yes. Juan also shows a picture of Jodi's trunk with a condemn clearly visible in the picture.
His answer prompted an immediate objection by Nurmi. The attorneys are now at a sidebar with the judge.
Martinez just showed Arias' infamous smiling mug shot.
 |
| Is my hair Okay? |
"She looked up at the correctional officers that were booking her and asked if her hair was okay," Mendes testified.
Nurmi is now up
Then another sidebar right after the cop talks some more about the smiling mugshot. Then they start on the paper trail stuff. Witness doesn't know if Hertz had security footage, but says that Jodi was with a man that had blonde hair.
Nurmi is suggesting Arias would not have left any type of a paper trail if she was on a "covert mission." Now the talk goes to the stupid rental car. Nurmi showed the jury Jodi's DL. The attorneys are at another sidebar with the judge. Martinez objected when Nurmi asked the witness if that was a copy of the license Arias had to show to rent a car.
Nurmi is finished and Juan is up again. They are talking about the receipts. Then Nurmi is up again. A juror wanted to know if there were any other receipts, for any other dates. Mendes said he does not recall.
The end of court for the day
