Jodi Arias Trial: Prosecutor Juan Martinez's "Meltdown" With Murder Suspect; Plus, KY or Baby Oil?

The banter kept going on like that as courtroom watchers and jury members watched in disbelief.

Kirk Numri, Arias' taxpayer-funded attorney, eventually mumbles an objection, which Stephens overrules. She's letting this happen, so she wants to see how it will end up.

And so it keeps going.

Returning to a phrase familiar during the three days of cross-examination, Martinez asks Arias why she can't remember what she "just said."

Arias let's him have it: "I think i'm more focused on your posture and your tone and your anger, and so its hard to process the questions."

Martinez answers by referring to himself in third person. "So, the answer is it's again the prosecutor's fault because you perceive him to be angry, right?"

"It's not your fault."

"Well, I'm, uh -- is somebody asking you whose fault it is?"

"You did." Arias answers quickly.

"Well, you seem to be pointing it at the prosecutor, right?" is Martinez's comeback. "So you believe the reason you can't be effective on the witness stand is because somebody is asking questions you don't like?"

"I think that was a compound question," Arias retorts, playing lawyer.

At about 46:10, as the argument winds on, Martinez walks to the defense side of the courtroom, leans on the defense lectern and asks Arias sarcastically if she'd be more comfortable if he asked questions from that spot. Numri raises an objection and asks Judge Stephens if they can approach the bench to prevent Martinez from doing the same thing "over and over" again.

Definitely some weird court moments.

But the weirdest was yet to come. After lunch, the Arias trial lived up to its reputation as a smut-fest, with talk galore of "jizz" on Arias' face, the anal sex she'd had with multiple partners including Alexander, Mormon views of oral sex, and the benefits of using KY for anal sex rather than baby oil.

The dirtiest stuff comes in the last third or so of croakerqueen's "Part 2" video from today, embedded below. Not for kids.

Overall, Martinez was actually very effective today in deconstructing Arias' claims that Alexander had made her feel like a "prostitute" and a "used piece of toilet paper." The evidence showed Arias was enjoying her sexual relationship with Alexander and had been kinky with other guys.

She did "NOT" teach him the sex, others before her had a prob with him about sex also. Jodi is guilty , but can we at least be honest?

from the looks of Travis in the shower,  she has already scratched him..all over his back and arm.. he don't look happy to me with the camera flashing in his face.. he never hurt her.. the things they did she is the one who wanted it..I must say to scratch him on his back like that, she was not on her knees!  I do think he was addicted to the sex she taught him, I do believe he was trying to get away from it..she is the devil.  I think she got him when his back was turned and cut his throat..and yes she did go there, to do what she did..EVIL!!

@mkruedlinger  Well if Martinez does not stop turning this trial into a circus about snow white I am afraid it just might happen. He needs to stop it already and get focused on what really matters. Jodi is guilty as all get out and in the beginning I was sure she would fry , now I think Martinez is losing it for us that want to see justice. You don"t attack every witness like a pit bull, its seems to be more about his ego  and the witnesses then about the real issues. I just pray he does not lose this case.

From the first, moderators etc. were questioning Juan Martinez' methods but I knew he was drawing from "the bottom of the well" up to his final question and then GOTCHA!  Brillant man any way you look at it.  It is a a learning experience to watch him in action.........I hope he wins this case and think he will - 100%.  No one deserves to die the way Travis Alexander was slaughtered.

Jodi Arias defense!  Look up his area of law!  He is as low as the person he is defending,  I mean how many guys going to law school  say "Hey, I am going defend child molesters, baby killers etc"., men doing horrific things to little children.  No wonder Mr. Martinez is so uncomfortable around him.

@maggie So only nice people accused of things like littering should have the right to an attorney and quality defense?

Juan Martinez is doing an excellent job of handling a smug, lying, conniving lunatic.  If you are going to point out all of the sex talk, blame that on her defense lawyer who waned on and on about the sexual aspect of the defendant's life w/ the victim, the majority of which has been gratuitous and completely unnecessary.  Perhaps that is because the defense counsel specializes in sex crimes? Hmm.  I am praying that the jury sees through the so called "fog" that Arias claimed to be in (and still be in) while brutally butchering Mr. Alexander.  If her fog is PTSD as some claim, why do real PTSD victims want to forget events vs this murderer saying she cannot remember? More BS. 

Thanks to the State of AZ for allowing cameras in the courtroom so others who cannot be there can see justice served.

I am normally a defense's dream juror.  I would have acquitted OJ Simpson and Casey Anthony  because of horrible prosecutions. Mr. Martinez is a great D.A. and Ms. Arias should be found guilty.  The case against her is unassailable.

Uh, yeah. Meltdown, right. More like Martinez is doing his job and exposing the liar for what she really is! Like how her way of answering his questions just proves time and time again how cunning she thinks she is and how it's all backfiring for her. Martinez did not have a meltdown, just the reporter for this story and the mag that published it.

@jsray2002  If your need is so urgent go to the courthouse and speak to someone directly or call/visit the Sheriff's dept..  (I assume your name isn't Gus Searcy is it? )

Juan Martinez didn't have a meltdown--he was showing Jodi Arias' true colors: a cold, calculating, sarcastic murderer who is not a victim of domestic violence. She's an idiot and can't hold her victim act together for 10 minutes. I can't wait until she gets the death penalty. I just feel sorry for Mr. Martinez for having to deal with this liar. He has to go through all of her despicable lies--the domestic violence and the "pedophilic masturbation" Jodi claimed. She's a revolting character.

I don't know why this article makes childish remarks about the prosecutor--he's brilliant in the courtroom & really, why don't you ask some women if they think he's handsome--you'll find that most do. If anyone deserves to be mocked for their appearance, I would think it would be Nurmi. He is Shrek-like and his direct exam was tortuous.

So she's an admitted dirty whore. Loves anal sex, which is okay by me.. But yikes, but did she say she does "ass-to-mouth"? Wow. Enough said.

Martinez is doing more than just fine.  Jodi the Sociopath is playing a game, but she's losing.  Bit by frustratingly redundant bit, Juan Martinez is masterfully revealing Jodi and her penchant for games and manipulation.  Well done, Mr. Prosecutor!

Martinez is a smug dwarf asshole-loves focusing on anal sex-must be extremely frustrated sexually-not surprising if you look at his wife

@Magic  You must be a good friend of sex-obsessed Kirk Nurmi who loves his sex crime focused practice (this defendant is the exception - she is charged w/ murder not a sex crime!). 

If you had been following this trial you would see that Nurmi is the one who made this case a sexual spectacle, not the prosecution.
