On April 4, 2013 Jodi Arias' lawyer Kirk Nurmi filed a motion to sequester the jury after video showing Jodi's parents being interviewed by police and Jodi's previously unseen journal entries were released and shown on the news. One of the journal entries reveals a strong possible motive for why Jodi killed Travis. She just could not stop loving him and wished she could stop. The entry reads:

"I love him. I could not possibly love him not, though I wish I could stop. Turn it off like a lightswitch. Duct tape it down so it can't turn back on. Or better yet, just cut the circuit. Cut off its life source. Make it dead in a second. Lifeless. A meaningless network of wires that do and mean nothing."

The phrase "just cut the circuit ... cut off its life source" has an eerie implication of a knife cutting a neck and the phrase "make it dead in a second" has an equally eerie implication of a gunshot. "Duct tape" was also found at the crime scene. There's no question why Nurmi wouldn't want the jury to see this.
