My take? KN knew the media attorneys would appeal the shut out and he knew he had just enough time before any appellate hearing for Jodi to testify in secret... Calculated risk.

Apparently, Jodi isn't the only Arias family member who believes in 'the secret'!!! :hilarious:

I guess my question is... if you know someone is reluctant, or downright hostile even, how could that possibly assist a defendant? The judge would not issue a subpoena unless one side requested it... is that not right?

Why would the judge subpoena them? No one can be required to testify as to mitigating circumstances... and, frankly, why would you want to force someone who is reluctant??

One... There isn't anything that Jodi can testify to that Juan Martinez can't refute. Two, they're only deciding between LWOP and LWOP with a sentence of death that guarantees her an appeal at the taxpayers' expense. Three, the death sentence, if imposed, would never be carried out. Even if...

So when a party wants to file a petition or motion in a matter there typically needs to be a hearing. When the petition or motion is drafted, the court's calendar clerk is contacted and he or she provides the next available date or dates to set the hearing, so that date can be on the...

The court's ruling only relates to jurisdiction and doesn't yet address whether Led Zeppelin violated any copyright laws.

as disgusting as the subject matter is, I'm glad Juan is getting ahead of the lurid pictures and presenting them in the most accurate way possible, that is, he's putting them up there for the jury to see and making sure they know she was not only a participant but the instigator as well. He's...

It's true that judges are not elected, but rather appointed. HOWEVER, they are subject to retention elections after the initial 2-year appointment. They absolutely can be voted out of their judgeships.

Judges in Arizona ARE, in fact, subject to retention elections following appointments. http://www.azcourts.gov/jnc/Home.aspx

Agreed. Interns do not prepare pleadings. Paralegals typically do, but the final draft will be reviewed and signed by an attorney, as required by the rules of civil procedure. And you're right, paralegals typically catch mistakes attorneys don't. Then again, it's not obvious from looking at the...

NW has already assumed ALL liability for Jahi's body. It was a condition of the agreement allowing her to take the body. It was an agreement Dolan negotiated for her. Nothing that happens or doesn't happen since she took custody of the body can be blamed on anyone or any entity. As an...

It's interesting that the MRI Dolan shows states "NOT FOR MEDICAL USAGE" at the bottom. Personally, I've never seen a brain MRI before so I googled images of random MRIs from people who are alive and well. There's a remarkable difference... and I have zero medical diagnostic training.

To be fair... it was a pretty generic summary of recently passed legislation. This is why he agreed to represent Jahi's family: Increased notoriety so he could peddle feature stories about popular legislation or cases to the SF Examiner... to further increase his brand awareness.

I guess my question would be... did he perform all the standard tests that experts in December did 3 times? It certainly doesn't say that he did. He performed imaging and he viewed test results that I believe (and people can correct me if I am wrong) were performed in a non-medical setting. Is...

If you go to the Alameda County Superior Court website and look up her case - (It's in probate court - RP13707598) it clearly shows the motions, the withdrawal of motions, the declarations in support and the court appointing Dr. Fisher as its medical expert with regard to the determination of...

Interesting. In the latest abstract of the matter it appears Dolan's new writ has declarations in support by only Machado and Defino. Both Prestigiacomo and Labkovsky are out. Be interesting to see what was dropped for lack of medical support.

Did you read those articles listed? They seem to discuss using EEG as a biofeedback mechanism to detect deception in subjects.

They are probably referring to Robert J. Shutts, another prosecutor in Maricopa County. He was the prosecutor in the Bob Crane (Hogan's Heroes) murder case. Maybe he'll be sitting second chair.
