Imo, about JSS, somewhere along the way she lost all objectivity.
I think she completely forgot that the state also had a right to a fair trial or she simply didn't care.
I even wonder if it was because of petty resentment on her part.
It was for certain JM knew more about the rule of law than any of the parties involved including JSS.
JSS didn't even understand the first CoA ruling with Juan having to explain it to her and the DT as well.
And now that the videos have been released that is more evident than ever before. Constantly Juan is having to cite case law and even after JSS reads them she seems very resentful when having to agree with Juan. And Juan only told her this to protect the case on appeal. She still seem to hate to give in to him even though he was correct. Being a family court Judge cannot compare to the knowledge a state attorney has who has tried cases in the adult criminal justice system for over 25 years.
And all the fanfare JSS did about the little murdering princess walking to the stand to be a witness is rather bizarre behavior by a Judge to say the least. IMO She seems to baby the defendant way way too much.
I think many of us had already felt there was glaring biases against the state by JSS but now that we are even privy to more information via the video footage I think it is even worse than some of us had speculated.
I really do hope there is a review board that will now look at all of the secretive sidebars/rulings in this case and will pull JSS in for a meeting and will tell her their negative opinions on how she presided in this case. Imo, she should never be given a death penalty case ever again.
I did hear some time ago from one of the reporters (maybe Troy Hayden) that he had heard from his sources that other Judges are going to look at how JSS handled this particular case. The wasted money, time spent unnecessarily because of JSS should be of interest to not only them but to AZ taxpayers as well. They should address the secretiveness of much of this trial too.
All Judges must be fair to BOTH sides for justice to prevail.
