The Jodi Arias Trial--Fatal Attraction – The Murder of Travis Alexander

[HairOfTheDog]

Premeditation is the key . . . emphasize all events before, during and after the murder.

Hammer the fact that Arias is a habitual liar.

Keep the focus on Arias as a murder rather than defending Alexander’s character by reminding the jury of the aforementioned lack of evidence.

This is the focus that I wish the state's case had kept throughout the trial! I hope Martinez's plan is consistent with what you've highlighted here.

Now that so much focus has been placed on Arias herself and minutia that is irrelevant to the killing, there's a boatload of extraneous information for the jury to shovel through.

Crossing my fingers that the jury has a good idea of what issues/testimony can be kicked to the curb (as irrelevant) early in the deliberation process.
