televised but streamed live, raw, unfiltered, across the internet. people aren t content to just watch. they want to participate. they re doing research on the players. arizona republic reporter michael kiefer covered the trial and said many were ready with their verdicts long before the testimony was over. anyone who takes less than an approach of she deserves the death penalty and she deserves it now is considered biased. and any perception of bias for the defense, even by defense witnesses, could bring a hostile reaction from jodi haters. this all became dangerously interactive. when psychotherapist alyce laviolette testified for the defense, supporting jodi s claim she d been sexually used by travis. and what does he do after he gives her the book of mormon? he tells her that he s horny and they have oral sex. she performs oral sex on him. while laviolette s testimony
yes. and whose desire was for that to take place? his. defense expert alyce laviolette who co-authored a book about battered women, suggested e-mails from travis s friends to jodi show travis took advantage of women. they advised her to move on from the relationship, that mr. alexander has been abusive to women that testimony, heard by millions and the jury, was stricken by the judge. jodi s defense lawyers never called to the stand the authors of those e-mails, chris and skye hugh hughes, who say their words were twisted by the defense. it doesn t exist. the abuse does not exist. what s it like to see your words used as a murder defense when the victim was your friend? it s gut-wrenching. they re using our words to make travis something he absolutely was not.
