Morbitbuzz: 11/12/14 (Retrial) Day 8- T-dog and Mr. Hyde

11/12/14

I just know that everybody loves me.

Today we get the Dr. of crazy, weird sex, some emails, and the penis picture.

Court starts off like it always does...sidebars and motions from Nurmi. Nurmi's team wants to say that the State deleted porn images off of Travis' computer It has already been established and testified to that Travis' computer had a virus on it. An expert has already said that there was NO porn found on Travis' computer. Juan stated that it was actually Jodi's defense team that first powered up Travis' computer- and Nurmi respond with "well, she has ineffective counsel then" (ha. Nice one Nurmi)

Nurmi calls their first witness. We are told that they expect her to be on the stand 2-3 days.

Dr. F

Defense calls a clinical psychologist Dr. Franseka (or however you spell it)
She basically deals with people that like the "weird sex" stuff.
This Dr. has never talked or interviewed Travis, so most of what she knows is all second hand from Jodi or from text/emails. One is an email between the Hughes, Travis and Jodi. Then Nurmi breaks out the baptism photo.

Just a good Christian girl.

Ha. I just know these jurors are believing this bullcrap.

The Dr. says that Travis struggled with his sexual stuff. The Dr. says that Jodi has always been interested in Christian stuff since she was a little girl. That may have been what drew her to Travis. The Dr. explains how Old Guy (Darryl Brewer) was a stable figure in Jodi's life. OG trusted Jodi, but he didn't want a "little Jodi" running around- so he said no to kids. The Dr. explains how Travis liked to boast about how much money he had.

High Roller

The Dr. also says that the "mystery penis" was Travis'

Those fingers around the penis actually look like an older man's fingers.
Nurmi should get CSI on it. They could do a side-by-side.

The Dr. says that Travis led a double life.
The defense and the Dr. talk some more about the Hughes, then they move on to Deanne.

Travis and Deanne

The Dr. says that Travis and Deanne were having sex. I guess Chris Hughes told Jodi in an email that she would be waiting for marriage with Travis like Deanne was. Pretty much- Travis was a player and hadn't found the right woman to settle down with yet.

Travis tells Chris he's messed up in the head just like Jodi is. The Dr. says that it's clear Jodi loved Travis. (HUH?) Travis also says in the email that he wants Jodi in his life forever. The Dr. said that Travis had lost about $250,000.

Recess

The Dr. explains that Travis told Chris he was fixing to have a nervous breakdown. (We have to remember the Dr. is ONLY going by an email that she has read)
Juan is getting very upset about this line of questioning about Deanne and Travis' sexual relationship. Lots of objections back and forth.

The Dr. says that Chris really believed Travis was a 30 year old virgin. Chris also said that he believes Travis is being a jerk and abusive to Jodi. Travis tells Chris that he is hurt that they are taking Jodi's side. The Dr. says that Travis was more open with Dan about Jodi.

What Jodi is doing in the court when the Dr. is testifying.

The Dr. says that Travis would remove photos of him and Jodi off of Facebook. Jodi was told by everybody to MOVE ON. Then the Dr. goes on to explain how everything in Travis and Jodi's relationship became a "secret"
Travis would only call at 1am. Nurmi reads off how Travis would call Jodi a "skank"
Nurmi gets out the "3 hole wonder" "slut"
The Dr. says that Jodi was "crazy in Love" but not the good kind.

Travis became T-Dog. Everything with Jodi became a secret. He would only kiss her in the dark.

Lunch.

Sidebar. They are right back to the email and T-Dog.
Chris-"I'm not being critical but in 5 Yrs I've known you, you won't commit to a woman. You're such a flirt."
Chris-"I asked you why you don't like Jodi and you said I don't know it's just not there" Chris states that Deanne seemed to be the only one Travis could connect with.
Travis did NOT want to be seen in public with Jodi unless they were traveling said the Dr.

This is good advice Jodi

The Dr. says that Jodi was not really part of the Mormon community like Travis was. She was an outsider. Chris says that he thought Jodi was just another girl- he didn't know Travis' feeling ran so strong for her. He says had he known he would never have said anything to her. He was just trying to get her to move on (all of this from the email)

Nurmi keeps calling Travis- T-dog and Mr. Hyde.

I wonder if Nurmi knows this IS the real T-dog?

Chris explains in the email how Travis has Jodi as his #2 on myspace and Deanne as #1. Chris tells Travis he leads girls on. Nurmi explains to the jury how love can make somebody SNAP. The word "abusive" keeps coming up to describe the way Travis treated Jodi. Chris does not approve of the way Travis treats women. The Dr. states again that Travis leads a double life. The Dr. says the way Travis treats women is "debasing" (LOL).

Right??

The Dr. then goes into great details about love, abuse, and explain how Travis and Jodi were drawn to each other because of it. Sky flat out tells Jodi in the email to move on because Travis is not going to commit to her. Nurmi says, but Travis says he's treated Jodi better than girls in his past. The expert says that's troublesome. I guess the Dr. says that Jodi is now a lot closer to her mom than she's ever been.
