Not saying he DESERVED to die...

wow reading some of these posts makes me wonder if the people writing them know ANYTHING about the case. It seems like they watched the movie and think its accurate. They talk as though Jodi and Travis were never official, which they actually were. They just continued having sex after they broke up. The thing about his friends all disliking her because she kept him all to herself was made up also. His friends actually liked Jodi. In fact, the couple Chris and Sky Hughes defended Jodi when Travis was mistreating her, bringing up some of his past relationships where he treated other women badly. He used his ex-girlfriend for sex too and when she told him she was ready to get married, he told her he wasn't, so she finally left him. The dude admitted to his best friend in an email that he was a bit of a sociopath.

I believe Jodi is guilty and should be punished. No one deserves to be killed. With that said, I do believe there is more to the story. My theory is this... if Travis did indeed attack Jodi like she says (big IF) when she dropped his camera, I think it was because he'd been stewing since she packed up her car. Where was she going when she left his house? To see Ryan Burns. Travis knew this. What if he was angry that she had come by and had sex with him and was now about to go see another dude? I am surprised the defense didn't try to use this as a reason for him snapping when she dropped the camera. But Jodi has lied so often, its possible he didn't attack her at all. We will never know what really happened that day. Only God, Jodi, and a dead man know the truth.

But this attempt to paint Travis as this saint is just silly. He was a man and his weakness was sex. He didn't practice what he preached, he led a double life, and he lied to his friends and family. I don't believe his friends when they say that Travis was afraid of Jodi or that he ever cut her out of his life completely. I hate when people say things like," What man would turn down pussy when its offered?" Okay, if a dude is SCARED of a woman, there is no way he is going to be able to get hard and screw her. So for him to welcome her into his house, sleep beside her, wake up to have sex all day with her... that doesn't sound to me like he was afraid of her. I think Travis's friends are still under the assumption that anything he said was true. It was obvious he told his friends one thing and did the opposite.

The Hughes are disgusting. Chris and Sky Hughes have been on just about every interview concerning this case. Sky sits there with a big smile and laughs heartily even while discussing the brutal slaughter of her good friend. She loves the attention that she has received from this case. It's disgusting and it looks as though she is dancing on Travis's grave.

Chris, her husband, is just as bad. He is allegedly involved in a ponzi scheme and he is just as two faced as his wife. In every interview they give, they paint Jodi as this psychotic stalker who fooled them into liking her. But what they don't do is give us the reason they stopped liking her. Their story never changes. One minute they love her... then the only "reason" they can give for not liking her is that when they were telling Travis to dump her and she was dangerous, she overheard them.

As soon as I heard them say that, my thought was," WHY were they telling Travis this? What did she do to make them think she was dangerous?" But they have never given a reason. Chris maintains he told her she was not welcome in his home AFTER she overheard him and Sky talking smack behind her back. I believe what actually happened was she confronted them when she overheard them talking and called them both out as two-faced hypocrites. But they can't say that on tv... it would make Sky lose her big fake smile for the cameras.

Chris and Sky Hughes are also responsible for the hung jury. The 4 jurors who voted for life without parole instead of death did so because they believed she actually had been abused by Travis in some way. The reason they believed this was not because Jodi convinced them... it was SKY who convinced them... by emailing Travis and accusing him of being an abuser. And telling him she would never trust him with her own sister. The 4 jurors could not forget that. His two closest friends were telling him that he abused Jodi!

BTW, if you want a good laugh, watch the video on YouTube of when the jury reveals they could not reach a verdict. The camera pans to the family of Travis and you see Sky Hughes, for the first time without a big fake smile, and the look on her face is EPIC. She is trying so hard to look horrified and shocked. But there are no tears, just this Joker like look to her, and as soon as she sees the camera is on her, she never takes her eyes off it. I showed my friends and they were laughing hysterically. The woman is revolting!
