She clearly did it, it isn't even possible that she didn't, if you've been plenty of women that lie repeadedly you kinda just learn to know their lies. Sucks that she's so hot and a killer i'd have to hit that if I could live to tell the tell ;] Lol, whole new meaning for Black Widow.

Oh, Jodi! She slaughters him, lies about it repeatedly, then blames it ON him. And, says "I thought, what would Travis do If he was here (getting his mugshot taken), he'd smile." Terminal nut job narcissist/psychopath. Case closed. Give her death by life in prison or death by needle. Just remove her from our airspace.

What I found amazing is that she outright said earlier in this whole process was that there wasn't a jury alive that would convict her!!! WRONG!

This woman is a narcissistic, nut job and there is nothing that will make her feel regret for what she has done. SHE TOOK PICTURES OF HIM BEFORE SHE KILLED HIM! That is an out and out trophy for her! Serial killers do this!

The attention she is getting in the media, what she will receive in jail or Fed prison, is EXACTLY what she is telling herself she will get! A book deal and a movie deal. This is the female version of Ted Bundy! This dog needs to be put to sleep!

Very interesting to watch this interview if you pay attention to her eyes.
It's not 100% accurate but very telling! Check her eye movement to this site. there are others but this one breaks it down quite well http://www.blifaloo.com/info/lies_eyes.php

Looked interesting, but when I see "60 second ad" I leave the website.

I was just wondering.....did the prosecution ever use Jodi's own words while explaining the reason for the smile, in that she stated that Travis would never find himself in her position (meaning, having a mug shot taken). If she was truly fearful of her life and he was able to kill her, wouldn't he be in the exact same position that she finds herself in now. I believe that by her own words, this is just one more thing that proves she was not a battered woman. Listen carefully to her explanation of the mug shot smile. VERY TELLING!!!!

She does nothing without plotting it out first. Just like her mug shot. She just gave 3 reasons why she smiled! Alyce Laviolette wants us to think she's not manipulative. She is nothing but in everything she does. She should be ashamed getting on that stand trying to lie to get this woman out on a first degree murder charge. She obviously not only planned it but,executed it and carried it out. Then she proceeded with it's cover up.If anyone should be sitting on death row it's this lady. Lady is a very hard name to call her because that is 1 thing she is not!
