YES!! Even with all I've seen and read - hearing the descriptions of what he saw, what he heard, what he felt like (weakness as his heart emptied of blood) and the likelihood that he was screaming in pain ~~~~~~~ all of this kept me awake last night and now today - I've imagined the pain of his family but I know they will say things I had not considered and it will be sad,sad,sad....:tears::tears::tears:

I bought a box of tissues with moisturizer in them last night.... Today is gonna be rough.

Schedule today? I bugged out early yesterday.

Starts at 10:30 a.m. Arizona time.

Charlie, I'm agreeing with you, and in the words of Darren Kavinoky, this one was entirely "strategery,"™®, intended to lay foundation for future appeals.

I tend to agree but I've not heard of this happening before. This is not ethical and if proven a strategic move and not a genuine request can they possibly be disbarred?

I don't know how this works. I don't think they would lay down for JA. Anyone know? I'd really like to know.

 

[JudyBolton]

But I just wanted to share that...it's not as bad as it seems in my view.

I hope this helps in some way to feel less horribly sorry for them at least in one small way.

Thank you, thank you - I will hold onto these words tightly today~~~

I keep thinking this morning, it is so telling the people JA is calling in her defense. 30 years old and not a current friend in site other than an inmate? That Patti woman is someone she went to Jr High school with.

 

[Words2Serve]

Do you think JA is going to try and be manipulative on the stand, and go with the approach of 'whatever you decide is fine with me'.... try and say that she feels she has things left to do in life, blah, blah, blah, but that 'because of her choices' she understands if they feel they have to do this, blah, blah, blah...

She will probably take an imitrex or xanex before she gets on the stand so she comes across 'melancholy' when she is really drugged. She won't show remorse, instead she will try to manipulate with 'look how much you have already defeated me' can't you see I am half the person I was.

Then if JM shows the interview of her right after the verdict of her saying she would rather die, it could come across as she is taking it hard.... I mean Dr. D is actually falling for this and he should no better.

The judge looks over the victim impact statements, has she looked over JA's?

 

[Chanler]

There is no way JA is going to pass up one last chance to speak. She will never apologize. She will go out in a blaze of crazy.

Hi, Just Me Deb. I agree. I am convinced that Jodi will speak (and, I believe, she can do so without cross-examination) and that what she delivers will be unbridled. That, I think, is the reason for the lawyer's request to withdraw from the case. To me, it also explains the curious conversation yesterday after the verdict between Jodi and her female attorney. Whatever Jodi said then was met by her lawyer with negative head shakes and cautionary arm gestures.

 

[Isabelle]

I'm thinking the motion to withdraw was necessary for her attorneys to have in the record that they did not support or agree to the interview Jodi gave. Helps negate ineffective counsel? Dunno. Not a lawyer, DH is and he doesn't like to lecture me on it cause I have too many questions, lol.

 

[G&AMom]

The question is - was it a sincere attempt to withdraw or was it a strategic move for a delay and/or setting a place or two at the appeal table.

Or was a threat to get her to stop talking to the darn media, and tweeting?

Or did she try to fire them, as opposed to them quitting?

Starts at 10:30 a.m. Arizona time.

That's my cue to walk off campus and get myself a bagel with all the fixings. BRB folks! :scared:

 

[ChrssyE]

What time does court start today?? TIA!

Prayers to the Alexander family, may they stay strong while facing CMJA.

 

[raisincharlie]

I think it was totally sincere, as does every defense attorney who has been asked, on the air and in my hubby's legal world.

I dunno about it one way or the other and really don't put a lot of stalk in talking head defense attorneys overall. What I do know is this DT has failed to control their client and rather than exert control from day one, when the going got really tough either they decided to bail, or the client may have asked them to do so. Either way, it seems to me, dishonest to ask to be removed at this late stage of the game they have played to this point.

 

[Winnts]

I have the seal

 

[dog.gone.cute]

I just wanted to share that although today is going to be really hard for the Alexanders, it's my impression that Jodi's craziness and cruelty has never affected them as much as she imagines (and fantasizes about no doubt).

In all of my dealings with the family, I'm astounded at how well the shake off her lies and ridiculous assertions as if they're Teflon and they've never allowed it "in". They have an uncanny ability, in my view, to laugh at her and take it with the ridiculousness that it is.

Maybe they are different than those of us (including me) watching with horror and outrage because they truly and deeply know who Travis IS therefore this is totally ridiculous to them. I don't know maybe it's the "Footprints" thing and they are being carried and buffered somehow.

But I just wanted to share that...it's not as bad as it seems in my view.

I hope this helps in some way to feel less horribly sorry for them at least in one small way.

:tyou: Thanks for the explanation !

Dude. Wait. What???????????? :drumroll:

I would say, "can you believe it?", but when it comes to this trial...

Suck it up, DT, you can't run away now! :scared::scared::scared:

 

[Sleuth5]

JMO but I think they are going to try to shop how she could be helpful to inmates if she is given LWOP..she got her GED, so they can say how she could help others get their GED.........what else have hey got!

They will probably have to point out that she is, in fact, a genuine Renaissance master. If she is sentenced to death, the world may never be able to appreciate the flowering of her artistic potential. In addition, her oratory skills will be lost, meaning that an entire generation will lose the opportunity to benefit from learning sesquipedalian words they do not really understand and have no idea how to use properly. These two things alone argue for serious mitigating factors.

Bringing over from the other thread (not sure which thread LOL)

Sneak peek: Unraveling the lies of Jodi Arias - 48 Hours - CBS News

On this Friday on CBS

 

[Linda7NJ]

According to HLN:

Inmates on death row
There are currently 122 males and 3 females on death row in Arizona. Although Debra Milke's conviction was recently overturned, she's still on death row, according to the Arizona Department of Corrections.

The cell
•12 ft. by 7 ft. cell; 86 square feet
•All solo cells
•Bed built into wall (hard surface bed)
•Blanket and pillow
•Stainless steel toilet and sink
•Shelving across one side of bed, which could be used as a desk
•Small chair
•Personal items can be displayed in the cell and there are two small and very thin windows
•Allowed to buy a small radio or TV

Meals
Inmates are fed 19 meals a week, three meals a day Monday through Friday and only two meals a day on the weekend. Death row and maximum security inmates eat all of their meals in their cells. There is no cafeteria-style setting.

Life
Inmates on death row in Arizona have access to recreation three times a week for periods of two hours at a time. So if Arias is given the death penalty, she would get a total of six hours per week outside her cell. According to Wilder, these outdoor recreation areas are pretty small -- not much bigger than the cells -- and inmates spend this time alone. But on non-recreation days, inmates are limited to their cell and could spend up to 24 hours at a time in there. Other privileges allowed to prisoners are pretty basic:
•No Internet
•Books and commissary allowed for maximum security inmates
•Library on site; Books can be requested
•Interviews only done over the phone

Showers
Inmates are allowed to shower three times a week. Showers are next to the cells and inmates usually shower after their recreation periods. Inmates shower alone.

Contact with outside
Maximum security inmates get one 15-minute phone call per week and calls are made from the cell with a phone that is brought to the inmate. But all inmates are allowed to send and receive mail. All inmates are limited to one non-contact, two-hour visit per week, during which the inmate can only speak to the visitor through glass.

Death row before execution
The average amount of time an inmate spends on death row in Arizona is 12 years, but it's possible it could be much longer or much shorter. The last execution in Arizona took place in 2010. The inmate executed had spent 18 years on death row

What channels can they watch on death row?
