In an interview, a reporter asks
Jodi Arias what were the last words Travis said to her in the bathroom
before she dropped the camera. She says the conversation was just "idle
chit-chat", "common stuff", talking about pictures and which ones to
delete, etc. In what seemed to be a "gotcha" moment, the reporter then
asks how Travis could have suddenly gone from such idle chit-chat to
telling her he's going to kill her over a camera? Jodi visibly gulps.
While trying to remember what happened, it seems as though she almost
forgets about her self-defense story.
The ominous part of this is
that they probably really were just talking idle chit-chat before she
attacked him with either a gun or knife (whichever you believe came
first). It suggests an utterly malicious and diabolical ambush with
Travis having absolutely no idea what was coming to him.
This
may be one of the least credible parts of Jodi's self-defense story.
Would Travis have body slammed her or threatened her life for dropping
his camera? Her story might have actually been more believable if she
had said she that threatened to blackmail him or provoked him in some
other way. It would then give more credence to the notion that he
became angry or gave him a reason to threaten her. But a camera? The
idea of killing and dying over a dropped camera just doesn't seem to fit
the picture.
Note, this interview occurred on the same day her
trial concluded, as the jury started deliberating on whether to give
Jodi the death penalty. She gave several interviews on this day. It
didn't seem to matter to her that as she was giving these interviews,
the jury was deciding whether she lived or died. Some say that she did
it because if she were sent to death row, it would be her last chance to
be on camera. This is the same woman who on the day she was arrested
seemed to care more about her hair and makeup for the mugshot photo.
