Maybe this isn't Legal??? Will they televise/video either 2 phases left?
TIA!
TIA!
can travis' family address wilmott and nurmi during the victim impact statements? I'm sure they have a few choice words for the mouthpiece's that helped Jodi trash Travis' legacy/reputation during this trial. I would hold back nothing.
Is there a time limit on victim impact statements?
How many people are allowed to give statements? With all of the love and friends travis had I can see this going on for about a week.
Are you allowed to call the defendant names (character assasination) during impact statements? I would have no problem with her character being assassinated during the VIS...Especially when every single word is the TRUTH!

Truth Detector *tried* to explain this to me, but I don't understand. The possible split vote of premeditation/felony murder. Foreman must keep count of each. It has to do with the Enmund/Tison requirement, but I don't understand.
Here's the link for the AZ Enmund/Teson:

TIA - NORMAL language, please!! lol
Can Arizona/Maricopa seize all or part of the donations JA receives in her jail account since taxpayers are picking up tab for her trial? Thank you~
Assuming a verdict of Murder 1, there would first be an "aggravation phase," in which the jury would determine whether JA is eligible for the death penalty. In this case, the only issue for that phase would be whether the murder was "cruel," which concerns physical and mental suffering of the victim. This will be a mini-trial before the jury, with the state presenting a case in chief, the defense presenting its case, and then the state presenting rebuttal, and mini-closing arguments. This might last only a couple of days.
Then there would be a phase to consider life vs. death. Again, this is a mini-trial before the jury. This phase is for the defense to present mitigating evidence and for the state to rebut that evidence (including through victim statements from the family). This might last a couple of weeks.
The jury makes the decisions.
Thanks - but............. lolThe Edmund/Tison issue doesn't arise here--that has to do with a defendant who didn't (or maybe didn't) actually personally kill the victim. Here, Jodi has admitted she was the one and only person who actually killed Travis.
question:
do you wonderful lawyers know how long of a break there will be between the verdict and the penalty phase?
(can you tell I already an just figuring the jury will bet it right? hahahahaha)
