Jurors Ask Questions to Jodi Arias Defense Witness “Sexpert” Dr. Michio Fonseca

Published on Dec 2, 2014
Dr. Michio Fonseca, Jodi Arias’ first defense witness in the penalty phase retrial, has described herself as an expert in “unconventional sexual proclivities.” She testified earlier that Travis lived a double life, abused Jodi, used her for sex, and that Jodi suffered in silence. Jurors got the chance to ask this witness questions. 

One of the questions asked was “What was the trigger for Travis’s anger?” and this was referring to the last argument they had where Travis had harsh words for Jodi and it's possible that this was actually the triggering event for Jodi to commit the murder (click here to see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFejw...). Fonseca responded that she nor Jodi knew what the trigger was for Travis. A popular theory is that this was the time when Jodi played the phone sex tape to Travis and attempted to blackmail him with it. The argument & harsh words was Travis' reaction, letting it out on Jodi. If true & that was the cause of Travis' trigger, then of course that’s something Jodi would never admit to.

Another juror asked if the dynamics of the relationship would change if Jodi did catch Travis viewing child porn. This suggests that the juror might be giving credence to the story and that could favor the defense. On the other hand it could suggest that the juror might find it irrelevant to the murder if even true and that could favor the prosecution.
