Oh, this is so true. I was in my yard working on a flower bed when the school bus brought the neighborhood children home on the last day of school this year. For one brief moment, I was transported back 25 years, and I was waiting for my girls to walk up my street. I had such a sense of loss...

I posted in another thread, but will add my thoughts here. I wonder if the attorneys knew what the verdict was prior to the public announcement? The absence of Jodi's family could then be a strategic move to show how little they care for their daughter in the new penalty trial. The Judge was...

And I wonder if the attorneys knew the verdict prior tothe public announcement. The Arias's absence could then be part of a strategic move for the new penalty phase, showing how little Jodi's parents care.

I had just come back to the board to ask if there would be a change of Defense team....is that an automatic process?

Here I sit on my little cot, people hoping I will just rot stopping the trauma I could have done if I just hadn't gone there with my gun But I am the great 'Arias', what can I say You know things have to go my way So like the black widow I will lay and wait and wait for appeal day.

I would be interested in a poll on the tee shirt display. Do you think that was Jodi's idea or one of either her attorneys or mitigation specialist?

I am not as familiar with all the legalities as most on the board, so hoping someone can explain what the 'stay' was that KN asked for....what was it and in laymans terms, what does it meam? Thanks!

JVM just said that DB was at the hotel she and crew were at, and he was ready and willing to to take the stand for Jodi but the defense did not call him.

I keep getting this strange feeling that Jodi wants to be in court on June 4, that horribly fateful date.

So glad you questioned that also. I told hubs at one point 'I think she is actually laughing instead of crying!' It was really odd.

Jean C. Said none of the jurors shed a tear just now to Vinnie P.

I think if she chooses that factor, she will alienate a Juror who may have had any undecided sympathy for her. She needs to find something other than religion, Travis's abuse, or being a pedophile.

If they want true emotions shown by Jodi during the penalty phase, it will have to be about her. That she could have been a great photographer, artist, model, etc., etc. She will cry then for things she will never do..not for the loss of Travis.

We have all been throwing ideas against the wall, so here is one more.... Jodi's financial matters were in dire straits when she moved back to CA. Travis said he had caught her scamming him. I wonder if she could have tried to forge his name and change the beneficiary of his will to herself...
