More Conflicting Testimony in the Jodi Arias Case; Leads Prosecutor on Tangents That Take Him In Circles

*****NOTE NATURE OF POSTING...NOT G-RATED*****

Another day of cross-examination in the death penalty case against Jodi Arias as prosecutor Juan Martinez continues to press the accused murderess on her conflicting opinions of Alexander’s character in light of her claims that he was sexually aroused by children.  

Arias again affirmed that she continues to love Alexander and believes he was an amazing and inspiring person, despite her allegations of pedophilia and kiddie-porn, saying that was a side of himself that he hated.

Arias spent much of the day taking Martinez on tangents far away from his core case, quibbling over semantics, making him repeat question after question, obviously frustrating him with her insistence that she could not remember key events or that what her answers meant depended on how one defines words like "show".

Martinez was obviously anoyed when Arias told him her brain was "being scrambled" by his aggressive questioning and that he was "moving in circles."

Martinez even flew off into unrelated lines of questioning, like how he himself made Arias feel as he asked questions and if that was what was sparking her memory lapses, arguing the difference between "memory" and "truth".  

Arias flustered Martinez a bit when she frankly referred to her enjoyment of orally pleasuring Alexander to climax on her face, but noting that the same act in a cruder context made her feel like a prostitute

Arias says Alexander attacked her in his Mesa home in June of 2008, so she stabbed him, shot him and slit his throat in self-defense. Prosecutors say the cruelty of her crime and the circumstances at the scene show that she planned to kill Alexander all along.

The day ended on an odd note, with a sidebar and early recess and her attorney asking the judge to order that the Maricopa County Sheriff's office provide her lunch to keep her in good health during the trial and that she is suffering migraines. 

Trial resumes Wednesday morning at 10:15.
