Retrial ???? I thought she was found guilty!!!
Live television coverage and the use of Twitter during the penalty-phase retrial of Jodi Arias will be banned and the case will remain in Phoenix despite defense arguments that intense publicity will make it difficult to find impartial jurors, a judge ruled Friday.
Thanks Geevee . Does the jury set the sentence in America?
I don't understand reason for banning live coverage now? I voted 12th of never also.
I believe it has to do with ALV and JA's friend Patty claiming they were threatened which really will not make a difference because the media will still report whatever they hear in court.
The media may end up winning in the end even if it is just partial coverage. I do not see any of her previous witnesses returning. There is nothing, nothing they can testify to that justifies what JA did to Travis. There is no proof she was ever abused by him other than his attitude towards her while he was trying to date others.
JA has very little to mitigate. If she lied about the "Locks of Love" defense will have to drop that, too, which will not leave her with much. I think JM is ready for her this time. She has played out most of her hand. jmo
I can't even begin to guess when the retrial might take place.
A lot of people are angry and think that CMJA has a hand in all of the delays with this going to retrial. Based on her motion to dismiss Nurmi, it would appear that she has had no say in the matter. In all likelihood, it is due to an abundance of caution on the judge's part and the necessary motions filed by her defense team.
Lamby, I'd like to call attention to the whole issue. Proof or not, the foreman bought the abuse story. How that factors into the penalty phase, I don't know, but as for appeals, it is a moot issue. Without a whole lot of credible testimony on her behavior, it's hard for me to see this being a serious mitigating factor.
I don't expect any kind of compelling mitigation testimony, just more of the same that we've seen before in terms of quality and quantity. The DT is doing a hail mary pass with the jury, hoping that they pluck on the heartstrings of at least one juror.
BBMI voted for February but it's wishful thinking. I think Nurmi will stall for as long as possible. I voted Feb because it's the anniversary of the last one starting.
Yes, she's sly, but she should have worked on him better because after all, he did convict her of first degree murder. One way or the other, she's in Perryville for the rest of her miserable life.I use to watch her as the jury would file in and she would study them one-by-one to see which one she should focus on. She's as sly as a fox. Obviously she found him. jmo
There will be a compromise/deal on/near the eve of re-trial.
