(Judge Stephens starts, "I'm going to continue to ask the jurors questions.")
93. Please explain why you feel Jodi is not manipulative either before or after the killing based on the review of statements and interviews. (0:00:10)
94. On the one side we have demeaning multiple verbal slurs, a slap, a shove, a choke hold and a lunge perpetrated on Jodi. On the other we have a gunshot to the head, a four-inch deep slit throat and close to 30 stab wonds delivered by Jodi to Travis. Is not the perpetrator of the greatest domestic violence Jodi? (0:01:05)
(prosecutor objects as she begins to answer, sustained, question is repeated and she answers with only one word: "No")
95. In the hypothetical given by Mr. Martinez about it being possible Travis was the one who told Jodi he wanted her to leave, if that were true, then isn't it likely Travis never hit her that day? (0:02:15)
96. When Jodi went to confront Bianca about being with Matt McCartney can't that be seen as she did it because she was jealous? (0:03:10)
97. Jodi went through Travis' emails, text messages and his inbox of his MySpace page. Did you take any of that into consideration when making your assessment? (0:03:44)
98. You bought Ms. Arias books, apologized upon meeting her and ordered her a magazine subscription. Did you do anything else to establish a relationship with Jodi? (0:04:00)
99. Have you given her anything else? (0:04:29)
100. Have you ever had any physical contact with her? Hugs, friendly touching, etc. (0:04:34)

104. Would you have adjusted your belief in the level of abuse? (part of previous question) (0:07:05)
105. Other than what Jodi has told you in what other sources did you see evidence of physical violence by Travis? (0:08:00)
106. Would your analysis of this relationship change if, hypothetically speaking, you found out that the stories about physical violence and Travis' masterbating to children were made up? (0:08:18)

111. You say Travis gives no indication of being stalked, displays no fearful behavior and continues his contact with Jodi of his own accord.

118. What is the manifesto you referred to during your testimony? (0:15:55)
119. Is there a type of stalking or what could be considered stalking that a person is comfortable around someone in person or when they are speaking with them but are afraid of what they will do or what they are capable of when they are not around? (0:16:16)

128. Can you explain how Ms. Arias can remember phyical abuse incidents so vividly but does not write anything, not even a reference to her feelings in her journal? (0:21:00)
129. You testified writings could have supported her statements, however, is it possible the incidents of abuse reported by Jodi were reported after the fact as a secondary gain to benefit her? (0:21:48)
130. Do you have any evidence other than Jodi's word that Travis made her tear out pages and write only positive thoughts? (0:22:16)
131. Who from Jodi's past did you interview that you were able to rule out Jodi's manipulative behavior being a pattern? (0:22:25)

134. Is your continuum incomplete? Why not list all appropriate bullet points for the appropriate column? (0:25:40)

141. Would that type of argument indicate abuse? (0:30:12)
142. Is it possible for two people to be abusive to each other? (0:30:20)
143. Don't you believe that Travis making comments about a 12 year old girl while having a phone sex conversation with Jodi is fundamentally different than Travis allegedly masterbating to photos of young boys? (0:30:30)
144. Would you characterize your knowledge of June 4, 2008 as light or incomplete? (0:31:00)
145. Are you confused on any of the details of that afternoon? (0:31:35)

147. If normal, why do you think Travis' attempts to keep those things private is deceptive? (0:32:22)
148. Did you ever see evidence that Jodi was openly sharing all of her most private sexual details with her friends and family? (0:32:50)
149. Would you consider that deceptive?(0:33:00)

151. Do you believe that Jodi was subjected to sexual degradation at the hands of Travis? (0:33:54)
152. You stated that you saw no signs of Travis feeling or experiencing sexual degradation at the hands of Jodi, noting his desire to see Jodi in California, his actions on the sex call and comments in various texts, instant messages, etc.. Couldn't that same argument be made regarding Jodi's alleged sexual degradation given her desire to see Travis, her actions on the sex call and various comments in instant messages, texts, etc.? (0:34:25)
153. If you were to only consider the written conversations and journals, excluding your interview with Jodi, did you see abuse? Please explain. (0:35:22)
154. What level or degree would you place that abuse? (0:36:10)
155. Considering only the written coversations and journals, can you say you saw an escalation? (0:36:30)
156. You mentioned Travis was in a 7 year relationship with Deanna. Are you aware of anyone interviewing her to determine if she was a victim or survivor? (0:37:09)
157. Did you interview her? (0:37:30)
(Judge Stevens finishes with the questions in front of her but points out that there are more questions in the basket. She tells the jury to please submit any further questions.)

159. Is it possible that your definition is wrong? (0:40:00)
160. Yesterday you were asked about Jodi being an abuser towards her mother and you stated it was normal teenage behavior. Do you honestly believe that hitting and kicking your parents is normal behavior at any age? (0:40:10)
(Judge finishes and allows defense to begin follow up questions)
(After prosecution follow up is finished the Judge sees one more question in the basket, it is brought to her, sidebar discussion and then says "One additional question from the jury")
