That was my first thought and I can't seem to get off of it. By not letting anyone testify, they are setting up a scenario for appeals where they can claim there wasn't a fair trial and it was so bad they couldn't even bring any witnesses to the stand during the mitigation phase. Nothing else...

I can't imagine they don't want to testify. Either Jodi or the lawyers must be preventing them from doing so.

The gas cans are irrelevant at this point. Jodi has already been convicted. I am more confused by Darryl not testifying than anything else that happened today. As for the interrogation tape with Jodi's mom, hasn't that been ruled inadmissible? I'm just confused. This seems like the most...

I agree. Her mom has been sitting in court every single day. I'm sure she wants to testify on her behalf, but Jodi is the one not letting her do it thinking her wooden spoon abuse is story is going to save her from the DP which she can't use if her mom gets on the stand and appears to be not...

I thought we saw an article posted from ABC in Phoenix a few weeks ago that said even if she gets LWOP, she will be treated the same as if she is on death row. 23 hours a day in solitary but she does get a TV.

OK good. :) I know a lot of people here are seriously for the DP and I didn't want to offend anyone by stating my views (until I encountered Jodi and totally want her to get the needle lol). :)

I didn't mean to offend you by saying that I have historically been vehemently against the DP. I also don't think that people that exhibit violent behaviors should ever ever get out of jail. I was just trying to explain why I am "typically" against the death penalty and that is because I am...

The one thing I can't wrap my head around, is why did she still have the camera when they were in the hallway? Why? There's a picture of her dropping the camera in the bathroom when the whole thing started. How did the camera end up in the hallway?????

I did my research about 17 years ago. And I didn't have any preconceived notions going into it. I was just writing a paper on the death penalty for my law class. I was completely horrified by what I found. The statistics were astounding. It was a long time ago but I think I concluded in my...

I have to admit. Until very recently I was STRONGLY against the DP. I guess one of those liberal types who opposed it at all costs. The main reason for that is because a lot of mistakes are made and our criminal justice system is imperfect. If there is even one "mistake" it is too many. I did a...

Wouldn't it take her a while to go hunt down a knife in the house to use to finish the job? More than 60 seconds, right? I think you are trying to look at this from a rational manner. Jodi Arias is not rational. So it's hard to understand why she did what she did. If you look at it from the...

I really suspect this "witness unavailability" is all about the DT getting time to work with him on what he is going to present. I can totally see Juan's questions: - Have you ever done an evaluation on Jodi Arias? - When was the first time you met with Jodi Arias? No further questions.

No. LOL. I do IT consulting work. I am just fascinated with criminal justice so I read A LOT. :blushing:

Sorry. I'm behind again. But yes. Premeditation really means intent. You could have planned it for 30 seconds. It refers to willfully making a decision to kill someone and following through with it. All Murder 1 means is you had an intention to murder someone and you carried it out. You don't...

Yes. Walmart has some of the best inventory control systems in the world. If somehow a gas can showed up at their store, for some strange reason a refund was given without it being scanned as a return transaction (which also would have resulted in a cashiers register being off by $13 and they...

He was really angering me because it really didn't seem like there was any point to it. Why did Deanna have to tell about her sexual exploits with Travis and whether or not they told their bishop about it? What does that have to do with the case at all? I have pretty tough skin when it comes to...

Yea. IIRC the CSI woman testified that no rope fibers were found at the crime scene. HLN is trying to make some sort of BOMBSHELL out of pillow tassels.

LOL. I wasn't trying to be mean. I'm just really tired. I think it was someone else that kept asking about voids and I was trying to explain and I don't think I was making sense.

Actually, what I was trying to say is that it is only a void BEFORE the transaction is finalized and paid for. You can't void a transaction that has already been closed. You would have to process it as a return. Once the transaction is rung up, you can't void it anymore. So there is no need to...

She made up the story about the rope so there was a reason for a knife to be lying around somewhere in the bedroom or bathroom. That's why there needed to be a rope. No fibers of any rope were found in the bedroom or bathroom.
