Jodi Arias on the Stand Day 3

Jodi Arias is really talkative on the stand and appears to be having a good time.  She smiles as if she is sharing the secret to a patent she intelligently dreamed up.  You’d never guess by just watching her face that she is talking about a man who she killed in self-defense (no, I do not buy that!).

When I watch Jodi, I see a manipulative, self-adoring, deceptive and cunning person.  She has learned to display her demeanor in a way that people think she is a meek little mouse so she can pull of her scheming without notice.  Thankfully, one of Jodi’s ex-love interests has been on Dr. Drew sharing that Jodi is anything but meek and timid as she wants the jury to believe!  He is being completely honest.  Jodi?  Not at all.

People who play the meek mouse role often don’t realize they give themselves away with direct eye contact as Jodi does here. It’s flat out contradictory to her message, but clearly Jodi doesn’t realize this in her scheming.

Jodi shows many traits of a psychopath:  arrogance, self-adoration, supreme belief in her intelligence, lack of sexual boundaries, etc.

Jodi, if you want my opinion, LOVES talking about sex on the stand.  She loves the shock value of it and I think that is what makes her smile.  I think she has always been one who had no issues making other people uncomfortable. 

Another well known trait of psychopathic liars is to blame others for what they themselves do and are blamed for. And here Jodi talks about an ex-girlfriend of Travis who was jealous–when likely she was recalling what people said about her.  I’ve seen this more times than I care to recount.
