Another reason it would be so hard to prosecute the case. You could take three or four different theories and make them fit with the limited evidence. My thoughts are that is was John, Patsy, or Burke or even a combination but you could run a scenario the opposite ways. I used to think the...

JAR as the killer doesn't make sense to me but I don't much about it him as a specific POI. Why would he have left Alanta on Christmas or Christmas Eve to go back Boulder for some type of sexual gratification of molesting his sister if he was the one supposedly doing that? Do people assume his...

Thanks! I didn't see another link. It's interesting to see the questions that were asked in correlation to what information JM made sure to get asked on rebuttal i.e, Det. Flores finding anything in the attic. There were a couple of questions I could have sworn were asked though.

Thanks! Is there a list with all the questions anywhere?

I'm unclear. Did Jodi's defense tell DG he couldn't testify and then have him give an interview? It seems like DB doesn't know why he didn't testify in this phase and was prepared. The jury is still not allowed to watch or read media I thought. How would this help?

That poor jury. I would be pissed to have to show up for nothing and then leave. What a waste of a morning they could be working or taking care of their families.

CMJA is one of the very few criminals I am OK with getting the DP and this scenario wouldn't change it. You couldn't take her word for it and even hypothetically if we just knew her words to be true it doesn't negate in any what she did. I can't imagine how hard it is for Travis's family to...

Wasn't this call made when Jodi lived in Mesa? They were able to get Jodi to move home at some point before the murder but she was 26/27 and as we can see no one tells her what to do. The DT can't get her to do what they say to try and save her life, I don't think her mom could have gotten her...

I find the mitigating factors they are using offensive to the nature of the crime and very telling that this is the best the defense can do. I have no doubt that the art was JA's idea and is being using only as infomercial for the future. She is going to need a way to make money in jail off of...

I don't understand how in this phase you can be forced to testify? Either you do willingly because you believe someone's life should be spared or you don't and it will backfire. This can't be legal can it?

During the trial, I wasn't sure and I was worried there might be one holdout that bought her abuse story. After the guilty verdict, I think they all already have their minds made up on the DP. I imagine it would be hard not to think Jodi was guilty of such a cruel premeditated murder and be OK...

I brought this over from the last thread since it closed before I could respond but I agree. There is something truly off with her emotional reactions just like Jodi's. I do think being the family member of someone who does something like this is their own kind of hell. They also have also...

I believe it was the breakdown of votes between premeditated 1st degree murder & premeditated 1st degree murder along with felony murder.

Lol. I didn't know either, I had to go through and find what it was. While this is very disgusting and I for some reason I can't stop laughing about it, I can't think what sway it would have to the jury. :floorlaugh:

JM introduced this on cross exam of Jodi.

Do you understand that nobody believes you and people only laugh at you? Yes or no.

He had nothing. His closing didn't make sense, using the logic of the murder didn't make sense. Murder generally doesn't, it's not something normal people due unless fighting for their life. We all know she wasn't. You can't make sense of the way a psychopath kills someone. Ted Bundy doesn't...

So most likely they picked a foreman and set the schedule, Do you think it's likely they took the time to take a vote? It could all be guilty but different counts will be what slows them down.

Katie-L, I do hear what you are saying although in this specific case I don't think it applies. I hadn't heard of this case until very recently and became very engrossed in it so I would say I came to the trial thinking she was guilty as the trial had already started. As I read the facts and...

At this point I can't imagine there is anything left anyone could say to make anyone believe self defense. I think it will be a quick decision.
