Yea for someone who claims to honor Chris McCandless, she should know he did not write Into the Wild. Jon Krakauer did. And we all fell in love with Chris while reading that book, (including Jon K, I’m pretty sure) but those of us who are mature also realized he was reckless, impulsive, unprepared and immaturely romantic… and that’s why he ended up dead in a bus in the middle of Denali. And we got over our crush. But I guess some of us aren’t that mature.

You already took him from this life, now you’re going to take jabs at their memories with him that was potentially just “putting on a happy face.” A whole new level of disgust.

@Ocrilat Год назад
Some observations: -She poses as this educated intellectual, yet she can barely read. -Funny how Alex's journal entry clearly says he's using cannibalism as a metaphor, but in the 'secret conversations' he is obsessed with literal cannibalism. -Also funny how different all the players are in Ezra's perspective from what everyone else says. -If Alex was this horrible, violent, selfish you'd think there would be other former partners and friends that would have also testified to this...not just the known liar and murderer. -Everyone insulted her, every male abused her and told her she was stupid, retarded, or put her down. This all sounds very much in her own head. -The attorney likes to jump around a lot chronologically. Seems to me she is trying to confuse the jury, and hide cause and effect, or lack of cause and effect. -The attorney is also clearly taking things out of context. -It's also interesting how all of Ezra's conquests romantically, poetically fit her, like in some sort of bad movie. All these guys are so different, yet they all have 'so much in common' and 'fit' Ezra, or at least the Ezra she decided to be to each of them. -Other people have pointed this out, how the attorney tried to 'edit' what Alex wrote to change the meaning. The jury won't be fooled by this...they get they entire document, not just the edited bits. -The essay 'Words' looks like a first draft. That says a lot to me. -Attorney: Read the paragraph starting with 'And So...' Ezra: You mean starting with 'Pity me'? Attorney: no -Ezra correcting her attorney on the questions to ask, while on the stand, was odd. A: Did there come a time when you spent the night at Alex's E: YES!!! A: When did you first sleep over Alex's E: Late October A: Could it have been early October? E: yes E: Did you mean the beginning of November? A: Yes E: yes -Ezra is supposed to be talking about a guy that abused her and she ultimately had to kill him to stop him from killing her, yet she smiles when talking about good times. Amber Heard did that too...those are cues to the audience as to the emotions in her fictional story. Real people that have been abused don't do that. -Alex wrote about misery and the dark side of life before, during, and after meeting Ezra. Clearly it's what interested him, and not so very strange for a Philosophy student or degree holder. -It makes me uncomfortable that Alex's murderer is the one to be able to interpret his writings. -Ezra is basically reading from Jodi Arias' playbook. Blaming a docile and easily-manipulated male for dominating her. Being very sexually experienced but blaming the non-experienced male for their sexual escapades. Calling the straight-laced victim an abuser and pedophile. Using fake amnesia and multiple fake explanations to describe the murder. Claiming self-defense when the victim was almost certainly ambushed. Bringing weapons but claiming it wasn't pre-meditated. -She doodled in his journal? How rude. -Isn't 'quod' Latin not French? The attorney lies when she says 'I don't know what language that is'. -Sounds to me Alex's 'love and so as you will' was about Ezra leaving Jason...that love is about following your heart. -They really fast forwarded past the slit wrist thing. This is a different story explaining it that we've already heard, and the 'he took me aside' thing makes no sense. That she took or sent Jason, a person Alex (in her story) would have not wanted there at his moment of weakness, is weird. -This was hard to watch. I don't see how this first section helped her at all.

That is so far from the meaning of what this essay is portraying. It is NOT about a "MEAL IN A SENSE" AS SHE SAID. Oh my goodness, it's her immaturity and inexperience to have the knowledge and wisdom of what it really means. It's more about deep, whole love and loving a person completely, flaws and all. As she gets older and experiences that type of love, she may get it then. But this is NOT about eating people, period!

1:58 So “Into the Wild”, the book that inspired her to change her last name to McCandless, was described by Ezra as a “novel” (fiction). It’s actually a NONFICTION book written by well-known writer Jon Krakauer who has never published a single fiction book in his lengthy career. In fact “Into the Wild” was adapted into a very successful movie that earned Academy Awards, Golden Globes, and other awards. I suppose it’s no surprise that the defendant doesn’t know the difference between fact and fiction. IMO she was trying to change her world by making superficial changes to herself and adopting “philosophies” which she didn’t understand and/or feel in her heart. When things didn’t work out the way she wanted them to, she lost her bearings and acted out against someone to whom she ascribed blame: Jason, Alex and John Hanson (and probably her family in the past). I’m sure none of those young men were perfect but she takes absolutely no responsibility for ANY of her actions. It’s absolutely mind-blowing 🤯🤯🤯

Any philosophy majors out there must be going crazy watching this! The two books that Alex allegedly read out loud during sex (which I find literally unbelievable) are about the writer’s relationship to God (“Fear and Trembling” by Kierkegaard) and and the writer’s struggle with his doubts about the existence of God (“Hoping Against Hope: Confessions of a Postmodern Pilgram” by John Caputo). Defense counsel is cherry picking a few lines out of two lengthy and very deep analyses of complex philosophies, and presenting them to the jury completely out of context. The books document the respective writers’ INTERNAL struggles and are full of METAPHORS that defense counsel is trying to argue are LITERAL between Alex and the defendant. It’s a total distortion of the works of two renowned philosophers. And an insult to the intelligence of the jurors. Note: I was a sociology major who became an attorney so any philosophers out there please feel free to correct me if I’m misspeaking!

Defense counsel was digging deep to counter the testimony of witnesses who knew Alex well (like his mother and the philosophy minor student with whom he spent time) that he was a peaceful, loving person who wouldn’t hurt a fly. The superficial spin on Alex’s use of various complex philosophies to understand his life in his essays could be expected of an uneducated and self-centered 19-year-old narcissist but I would bet my right arm that Ms Vishey (sp?) knew EXACTLY what she was doing. She may be incredibly annoying but she’s a well-educated, experienced and successful attorney. If you look closely she has Ezra stop reading the other parts of the essay that give more context to the passages read by Ezra, or she blocks them out on the screen. I really hope the prosecution’s cross examination points that out. Both defense attorneys know that their client is guilty and they’re both getting as creative as possible to try to influence just one person in the jury that will buy their bullsh*t. It only takes one. Thank God all twelve saw through it.

I also noticed that while she was posing as an intelligent, educated philosopher...her lack of intelligence was pretty apparent. She could barely read Alex's journals, stumbled on fairly easy words, got flustered easily, and accidentally admitted to some damaging things (like she purposefully lied that the attack happened in the park). Her attempts to pretend to not remember things that damaged her story, and worse making up new lies that contradicted statements she made previously in court, were probably insurmountable. So why did she testify? Well, she had no choice. Her only possible defense was self-defense, and with self-defense she had to tell her side of the story.

i have adhd and doodle for that reason because it helps me to focus and pay attention better if i have my hands busy......i wouldn't have believed it if she'd said that was the reason she was doing it, but good grief. that would've been a better reason than claiming it was because she's traumatized due to the case. some people who actually have been through the sort of thing she said she survived (like myself) probably DO need that kind of distraction; the fact she just over and over again abuses what it means to be a survivor, especially when she was abused growing up, will forever make me furious. she KNOWS what she's doing by saying these things and doesn't care!!

It's striking that so many people describe Alex as very intelligent and a deep thinker, but it's obvious that Ezra struggles to grasp concepts, stumbles over and appears not to understand words and would not be the intellectual equal of a supposedly gifted philosopher or even a 30-something coffee bar poseur/medic. I cant help feeling if they had all been required to do manual labour 12 hours a day, there would have been less time to devote to all the navel gazing, obsessing and "lovemaking" and things could have ended very differently

I am painfully embarrassed by how much misinterpretation (intentional or strategic) is going on in her testimony when it comes to what Alex wrote and what they supposedly understood Kierkegaard to be saying in that novel. Did she seriously go in there thinking she could lie in her summary of it, reading out a few lines and completely misconstruing their meaning to fit her narrative of Alex being a dark, cannibalism obsessed dude whose favourite books included that about literal human sacrifice, and whose lifestyle was defined by selfishness and disregard for life? Did nobody on her team think to do a little googling to fact check her interpretations and definitions of things? She paints such skewed picture of nihilism and existentialism, it makes me sad. I really hope that people who hear this trial aren't put off of the idea of looking into philosophy and reading some of these works.

Shes comfortable and loving it. I would be beyond anxious being a witness on the stand in any way, but I've never used anxiety for an excuse for any behavior, she sure talks like hers is sooooo much worse than most people. Yet she has no issues being on the stand for murder. Shes just a disgusting person who molds herself to both fit other people and also make herself a victim of everyone and a survivor on order to get attention. Her narcissism is hard to hide

In my opinion he points one needs to keep in mind when watching Ezra on the stand is : Ezra has no problem lying despite video evidence. At best, Ezra is borderline personality which is not a mental disorder and as the term narcissist is flung around today when one simply doesn't like another, this person reeks of actual narcissism. It's shamful that this judge allowed these two to play scholars and psycologist as they were not capable of analyzing Alex's works. Lastly, the Jodi Arias School of Psychopaths has a long list of graduates.

Yeah it was at least a possibility it wasn't his kid. She would have kept it if she knew it was his because then she could have locked him in. She was afraid she'd end up with a baby, on her own, and have lost Jason if he ever had paternity checked and found it wasn't his. She is absolutely the type who would have had the baby to lock him in if she was sure it was his. She says it like he wanted the abortion yet she never talked with him about it.

To a certain extent I think Alex was romanticizing his feelings of aloneness. I don’t mean to say he didn’t feel alone, only that he was young and had developed this identity of “philosopher, writer and artist” and the idea of being a tortured artist (aside from fact that being tortured can produce great art) was and is attractive to himself, many women and other people. In that way I think he was romanticizing his writings and somehow with hindsight had he seen how the defendant twisted everything he said/wrote, he would’ve put it all in a very different context. He did not want to die.

Right? Utterly twisting and warping them. However, he was vindicated later, when the prosecution provided the context and let his own words speak for himself, without her lewd interpretation. And when the prosecutor provided proof of particular pieces were written before Ezra met him, even though she was claiming those pieces were written about her. Obviously, they were not. It's really gross. But it gives a LOT of insight onto her personality, her mind, and who she is. Very self centered, self serving, and twisted. She claimed that "Love and do as you will" is about her, and how profoundly obsessed Alex was with her and that he used that phrase constantly, "interwoven" with the majority of his communications with her, that he would often just text that to her. Either included it at the beginning or end of a text message, or just text that phrase to her by itself. Later, the prosecutor had a stack of papers of all their text messages printed out. From the time they mer to the end. And he asked Ezra to go through them and circle that phrase wherever it was found in those text messages. Not a single one was found. Not one time did he ever text it to her. Is she knowingly lying, or is she so warped that she actually believes what she says? She lies about things that are so obvious and that can be easily proven. Like claiming to have grabbed the knife by the blade, and her hand showing no evidence of that. And only later changing that version after it was explained and shown that, OF COURSE, grabbing a knife blade with your hand would cause serious significant wounds to the hand.
