Arias: The Psycho Photos

All I can say is omg.  Anyone who saw the images of Travis Alexander in the shower side-by-side with stills of Janet Leigh in the shower in the Hitchcock movie, "Psycho," has got to admit the similarity is nothing less than chilling.  JUAN MARTINEZ, DID YOU SEE THESE?!  They were first shown last night on the Dr. Drew show on HLN and again today on Raising America.

Remember Jodi Arias testified Travis wanted her to take the shower photos but that she had some ideas for the poses.  I will have to go back and watch the testimony again, but I believe she claimed her inspiration was from Calvin Klein.  Here, she mixed a little truth with her lie cocktail.  She had the ideas for the poses alright -- SHE did -- and her inspiration was definitely not Calvin Klein.  There were only two photos in the series left to go:  one of the knife of Norman Bates coming down on the back of unsuspecting Janet Leigh and one of the blood swirling down the drain.  Ooops, the knife slips [eyeroll] as she begins to stage the knife photo.  End of photo shoot.  End of Travis Alexander.

"I just remember dropping the knife and screaming."
"He just wouldn't die."

We've learned sources told the National Enquirer [story here] that Jodi claims Travis was obsessed with the Psycho movie's shower scene, that it aroused him, and that he was the one who wanted her to take those specific pictures.  Regardless of whose idea it may have been, they would have needed a knife for a reenactment.  And we know Jodi loves knives.

Yes, it's late in the game to reintroduce the shower photos in this context but I firmly believe the jury needs to see the comparison.  It's another piece of evidence to suggest Jodi is lying about the rope and about the gunshot wound being first in the series.

Update 4/30/13

"PINSKY: Robi, I`m fascinated by the psycho story she added. The reason we had those psycho pictures on hand, my producers brilliantly pulled them up from weeks ago, there they are again, we noticed these association from Alfred Hitchcock`s film and magically the pictures Jodi took of Travis. It gave us chills. They both are preoccupied with this thing." [Transcript from the "Dr. Drew: On Call" program of 4/24/13.  Link Here.]

"The Famous Shower Scene from Psycho" [video posted by newcarscent7 on YouTube].  I've not yet been able to find the comparison photos shown on HLN.  You're invited to watch the movie clip and make a mental comparison for yourself between the movie and the posed photos of Travis in the shower as shown during the trial.
