Dismissed Juror #8 shows up in the gallery today. This is just as bizarre as when Juror #5 showed up in the gallery the day after her dismissal.
Summary: Nurmi's theme, if I may paraphrase, is that his client isn't very bright because nothing she did before the murder makes any sense. With all due respect, Mr. Nurmi, the brains of sociopaths and psychopaths don't work like normal brains. All the jury has to understand is everything made perfect sense to Jodi.
"Fear, love, sex, lies and dirty little secrets," opened defense attorney Kirk Nurmi. He states it's the jury's job to determine what happened on June 4, 2008, between 5:30:30 and 5:32:16. Was it a plan or something forced on Jodi by Mr. Alexander? [Translation: All that matters is those three minutes. Jodi is never to blame.]
Next, Nurmi appeals to that hanging juror to not succumb to fear... don't be persuaded by other jurors who disagree with you. This case is not about Snow White or the Seven Dwarves. It's not about bad haircuts or the sexual orientation of one of the witnesses. It's not about whether you like Jodi Arias. Nine out of ten days, I don't even like Jodi Arias. That doesn't matter.
It's not about sitting before the cameras of Inside Edition and saying no jury will convict her. It's about what happened between exhibit #159 and #162. He asserts the theory of a premeditated plan doesn't make any sense. She was not obsessed with Travis, she moved away. She joined LDS Linkup to find another man. She'd already had her sights set on Ryan Burns. [Okay, so then explain why she was still stalking Travis.]
Stealing the gun makes no sense. She didn't have to stage a burglary, she could have just taken it and nobody may have ever known. She could have taken one of her father's unregistered guns, but she didn't. That doesn't make any sense. She could have taken a gun from Matt McCartney. Is that behavior consistent with a smart woman who is planning a covert mission... Why would you start a trail? [Duh! Because she didn't want anyone to know she had a gun! Stealing one made perfect sense to her.]
She needs a way to get to Mesa. She could have driven her own car. Maybe it wasn't in the best mechanical state, but it may have been recognized. She could have borrowed a car from her family. No paper trail. They could have rented a car for her. But no, she drove to Redding and rented a car from Budget. An airport with security cameras. That doesn't make any sense if you're on a covert mission. [Translation: My client's plan was stupid. Here, I'd have to agree.]
Jodi's hair wasn't blonde when she rented the car. Mr. Colombo was just confused because her driver's license showed her as a blonde. Jodi's hair was brown on 5/15. Red car/white car... big deal.
She didn't go straight from Redding to Mesa, proving she wasn't on a mission. Instead, she stops in Monterey and visits two former boyfriends. This crazy woman who can't let it go has relationships with [them]. The mission isn't quite so covert now, is it? And why would she tell Darryl Brewer she was going to Mesa if it was supposed to be covert. [Uh, didn't you and your client previously insist she never told him that?]
She borrows gas cans but that doesn't make sense. She could have bought them and nobody would have been the wiser. Instead she borrows them because she's going to cross the desert. [But she testified she couldn't afford to buy gas cans.]
She goes to the bank in Monterey (two accounts). She deposits some money in one account and money into another account. Why do your banking transactions and leave a trail? [Because she didn't have that money when she was back in Yreka?]
Nurmi denies Jodi testified that she returned the gas can to the same Walmart on the same day. [MIS-STATES THE EVIDENCE!]
There's no verdict form to convict Jodi Arias of lying.
Messing with the license plates makes no sense. That would attract the attention of law enforcement. That doesn't make any sense. [Yep, Jodi's not as bright as she thinks.]
I'm sorry. I can't blog any more of this bullcrap. I'm done.
