2:00
heard a lot of testimony about Jodi's police
2:02
interview on November 16th. McGinnis
2:05
painted a grim picture of Jodi. And
2:08
without a recording of the interview, the jury
2:10
was left to make a determination on Jodi's
2:12
guilt based solely on McGinnis' version of the
2:14
story. We heard
2:16
about Jodi changing their story regarding certain
2:18
elements, like whether or not they
2:20
had any personal issues with Mario. And
2:23
we also heard that according to McGinnis, Jodi
2:25
said in the interview that they got off
2:28
work two hours before the time reflected on
2:30
the timesheet. McGinnis
2:32
says that Jodi told him that they got off
2:34
work at 10pm and arrived home at 11.02pm exactly.
2:39
And of course we know that the timesheet that
2:41
the jury never saw shows Jodi clocking out of
2:43
work at Dylos at 12.05am. Most
2:47
of you listening have been around long enough to
2:49
know that the last thing any defense attorney ever
2:52
wants to do is to put
2:54
their client on the stand. But
2:56
after McGinnis' testimony, Jodi really had
2:58
no other choice. The
3:01
only way for them to get their version of
3:03
the story on the record and out to the
3:05
jury was to testify in
3:07
their own defense. And
3:09
that's exactly what Jodi did and that's what
3:11
we're going to cover in today's episode. The
3:20
first 14 pages of Jodi's testimony relate to
3:22
their movements on November 13th, the day
3:24
of the robbery. All
3:27
the testimony about the robbery is super odd and kind
3:29
of weird to even be reading. So
3:31
you have Officer Sturgill, who I think
3:33
we've proven is lying on the stand
3:35
about identifying Jodi at the scene. I
3:38
really think that we proved that beyond any measurable
3:40
doubt a few episodes ago. But
3:43
we also have Jodi lying on the stand about
3:45
not being there. Jodi
3:47
was there during the robbery, but
3:49
Sturgill didn't know that and fabricated
3:51
a story to put them there
3:53
and Jodi, who again was there,
3:55
testified that they weren't there. I
3:59
think the robbery discussion Well,
32:00
when I first came here, see, I had
32:02
to work from 10 o'clock that morning all
32:05
the way until what, 12 o'clock that night?
32:08
And I had to be at Bob Evans at 10 o'clock the
32:10
next day. So I'm
32:12
like, I know I don't really got time to sleep.
32:14
I'm already wore out. I'm tired, you know what I'm
32:16
saying? So when, as soon as
32:18
I came in, I didn't even take a shower
32:20
or nothing that night. I just took
32:22
off my clothes. The only thing I had on was a
32:25
pair of socks and I just laid across the bed. She
32:28
yipping and yapping. You can't argue with her. She
32:30
she's always right. You know what I'm saying? There ain't no way
32:32
to argue with her. So she's on
32:34
the phone. So I already know
32:36
what that means. She's going out tonight. You know what
32:38
I'm saying? She talked to Nadia. End
32:41
quote. According to Jodi, that was
32:43
the end of their night. Shirell went
32:45
out with Nadia and Jodi went to sleep. Then
32:48
around 2.30 a.m. or so, Shirell came
32:50
in and told Jodi about the murder and
32:53
that people on the scene were saying that Jodi did
32:55
it. Jodi goes back to
32:57
sleep. Then in the morning, they drove by the crime scene
32:59
to see what was going on. Jodi
33:02
says they just saw cops and yellow tape up at the
33:04
scene. After driving by,
33:06
Jodi says they drove up to Carvale Miles
33:08
house. They say they were
33:10
planning to ask the Mileses what happened, but there was
33:12
a bunch of people outside and according
33:14
to Jodi, they decided not to get mixed up
33:16
in everything. They gave Carvale a little
33:19
wave and went on to work. Now
33:21
according to Carvale, Jodi had driven by and pointed
33:23
a finger at him and made some kind of
33:25
a threat. But Jodi says
33:28
that's not what happened. Although
33:30
like I said, they do confirm that they drove by
33:32
and made some kind of gesture to Carvale. But
33:35
according to Jodi, it wasn't a threat, they were just
33:37
waving, saying what's up. The
33:45
last part of the testimony that I want to
33:47
cover is the discussion around Jodi supposedly hiding the
33:49
car. Remember in McGinnis' testimony,
33:51
he said that Jodi refused to tell him
33:53
where the car was. We've
33:55
already gone over this part of the transcript in
33:58
a previous episode where Jodi explained that after
