23. A few weeks back I caught about 20 minutes of her live testimony

May 2013

I was getting my oil changed (Which is not, I hasten to add, a euphemism), and the place had a TV in the waiting area. It was tuned to Headline News, and the channel ran a live feed from the courtroom without commentary or context. Nothing but a you-are-there voyeuristic romp through Ms. Arias' graphic sexual storytelling.

Apparently she's accused of a very thorough killing with significant violence commited against the corpse post mortem. Beyond that, I know nothing of the case.

But here were some of the under-oath questions asked of Ms. Arias (not verbatim, but close):

"Did you have an orgasm during that encounter?"
"Was it your first orgasm?"
"Can you describe what you mean by 'schoolgirl outfit?'"
"Were you wearing underwear?"
"Were they the Batman or Spiderman ones?"
"Why do you think that he grabbed your ass at that time?"
"Was that the only time that he grabbed your backside?"
"Is that when you climbed into the bathtub?"

And on and on...

As I said, I know nothing of the case at large. It's clear that she killed him, from what I can gather, but beyond that it's up to the court to decide.

However, regardless of what kind of phone sex went on between her & him, and however salacious their bedroom activities might have been, they were nowhere nearly as disgusting as the salivating & uninterrupted coverage of it on "Headline News.
