We are not sure that is the reason. That id the DT's version of events. But Juan gave alternate reasons according to statements the witness made to him earlier.
But obviously if there were death threats that is outrageous and should be investiageted and someone charged with that offense.
:rocker: I totally agree !!!
She is a master manipulator and NO ONE would be safe anywhere near her ...
And she will continue to "trash and bash" Travis ...
She deserves the DP so she cannot harm Travis any more ...
And the sooner she gets DP, the better !!!
:jail::jail::jail:
That was brilliant of her. She saw right through the defense trying to call this very unlikely witness, KNOWING her drug arrests, etc. They KNEW what JM would bring out in her depo. this was not reinventing the wheel. They knew, and guess what the judge was one step ahead of them.
The Judge was already pizzed for weeks
The jury was already pizzed for weeks
The Attorneys have been pizzed for weeks
The Family has been pizzed for weeks
And we here at WS have been pizzed for weeks.
Same old / same old
Where is the proof? Were the death threats a'la Donovan or another of JA's cohorts? Also, JSS ruled that the witness could testify off camera. She's bending over backwards for this defense team.
She has no say really.....she cannot control what DB does or does not do. I doubt it is that.

Court is recessing for the day. #JodiArias scheduled to speak to jury 930 tomorrow morning.#FOX10
My guess? Her attorneys said she wasn't prepared to speak today (I know, I know) and out of an abundance of caution, judge gave them until tomorrow to prepare.
I wasn't watching, just following along here. Some said she appeared medicated. Guess she couldn't get up there and speak on her own behalf if she is on some sort of sedative/medication.
Today's defense tactic is making me nervous. I'm hoping they can't benefit from a mess of their own creating.
Nurmi's like a schoolyard bully, he really makes me beyond :furious:
In fact, IMHO, from the moment court convened today she sported a mismatched seething smugness on her face that, given the outcome for today, speaks volumes. :banghead:
If a friend of mine was facing the death penalty and I believed that there was good in her, then yes I would testify as to why I believed that, threats or not.
She should be! Nurmi's accusing her, the court, of failing to give the felon a fair trial on many occasions! I guess he really was napping in his reclinated chair, cause JSS did EVERYTHING to ensure this was fair fair fair!!!
His rantings today hit a new low, but I have to keep lowering the bar for this DT, so no surprise at all.
The Judge is not to blame. The Judge is making sure that the proceedings are protected. IF she made her go forth today it could be an issue for later. by giving them the time she is protecting the penalty verdict.
She is doing a GREAT JOB!
