I thought she should have pled permanent insanity and asked for lifetime confinement to a hospital for the criminally insane, where she could live out her life in a 'society' with others just like her. Maybe AZ doesn't have anything like that but it would have made more sense than the defense waged in that courtroom.

The courtroom is full. Attorneys are here. No Arias yet."
Whoa ... it looks like all of Jodi's family has shown up for today ...
Thoughts ?
TIA !

I've decided to move on. I'm now tracking a local taxi driver. He has quite a nice car. Moving up in the world you see.....and, is Mr Busdriver aware of this?.....:floorlaugh:
:tyou:
I love sitting by the cool people!![]()
I don't believe Pat was going to offer anything significant for mitigation. On the other hand, CMJA with such excelent verval communucation skill will be speaking for herself. I am sure she will have major point to score for mitigation, unfortunately they are going to be lies and not going to be believed.PATTY WOMACK WITHDRAWS TO TESTIFY AS TO ARIAS' CHARACTER BECAUSE OF DEATH THREATS: BECAUSE OF THIS DEFENSE FILES A MOTION FOR MISTRIAL ON SUNDAY

A former judge on HLN said it's not uncommon to file a mistrial motion at this stage. Protecting the record. The defense basically saying to judge, give us a mistrial because we plan to get you reversed on appeal anyway
I hope she admits the truth and begs for forgiveness. Then life is appropriate. If she oges up there and blames Travis again then DP is a stronge possibility. MO
I think so too. I'm not even sure if the death threats are real. I can totally see her either lying or being in cahoots with those who believe CMJA "innocent" making fake death threats to get rid of this jury.
I think it's more likely that PW realized the #$%& storm she was about to step into and thought there was no way she wanted JM to be able to prove her a liar too, so she backed out or conveniently used "death threats" as an excuse. Which the defense promptly filed to try to use to their advantage.
I don't this this should be allowed to derail a trial. Otherwise, what's to stop every single defendant from having people they know issue fake death threats to their witnesses and having every single trial end in a mistrial??
It isn't going to work, CMJA is going down!
