Yes, you do.

He actually went further than that.

In his motion he stated that the Prosecution not only knew of the *advertiser censored*'s existence, but that the State found it, deleted it and then lied about it.

And if your further point is that LKN is a liar... stipulated.

You and I agree.

The State didn't lie about it. Nurmi has changed the meaning of the existence of *advertiser censored*. Is it "*advertiser censored* on the computer" if it's a link in a referrer in a cookie? That's not exactly an aircraft carrier of Wonder Holes for the courtroom jumbotron. Even the MSM reports I've read tonight say that there were "pornographic images" on the computer, but the fact is that there weren't. There were URLs. That's it.
 
Hey you guys! Just trying to catch up with the day... Is there video of the hearing that happened today?? If so, where do I find it? :tyou:
 
Something in my gut tells me this all ends Monday when the judge takes the DP off the table. At this point, I don't even care, I just want it over ASAP.
 
So, I'm still trying to catch up after work but...no video of the hearing?

ETA oops k-kitty beat me to it

YIKES!

After watching the judge nodding her head to Nurmi, now I'm worried! I sure hope we get the whole thing soon!

I'm as big a cynic as anyone but this is much ado about nothing IMHO. I think as often as not nodding in situations like a judge would be in is like the nodding you'd see during a corporate meeting presentation - it's not so much "I agree with what you're saying" as it is "Okay I get what you're saying, so move along to the next point."
 
If the Death Penalty is taken away from this defendant, I'm done. We will seek higher ground somewhere, I guess. JMO My opinion and the dh's is she needs a death penalty charge to even focus on her deed. She hasn't reached that yet.

jmo and dh's.
 
I was just reading comments on a news site, and someone commented that JSS didn't allow the cameras in because of the way she looked on camera.

Wow. She really went down the rabbit hole with that one, IMO. Now Nurmi is taking advantage of this ruling by wanting everyone testify in secret.

Trying to catch up on today's shenanigans so I apologize in advance if this has been asked and answered but isn't Nurmi effectively launching an actual appeal of the conviction by threatening to do this? Is there nothing in place to stop every defence attorney from appealing every ruling on every motion during the course of a trial because they don't get their way? And considering that Nurmi will likely not be JA's attorney for an actual appeal down the road, unless she's acquired enough money to pay his private practice fees and she doesn't use ineffective counsel as an appeal issue, is this just him trying to win something...anything...at this point? At all costs?

This is not about her rights. He has to know his arguments are ridiculous and her rights have not been violated in the least, in fact quite the opposite. It's like he's willing to go down in flames to make some kind of name for himself or something, even if it's a bad one. Works for Baez. I'm at a loss as to what else to believe at this point.

:waitasec:

MOO

IANAL and I don't know how these things work, but I wonder if Laurence is cooking his goose in another way....

It seems like Defense Lawyering in Big Cases 101 involves the spaghetti principle: throw enough spaghetti (or some other word starting with "s") against the wall and some of it will stick. IOW bombard the jury with 8 million things and hope a couple of them resonate with one juror. That could work when it comes to making 100 ridiculous motions to the trial judge in the hope that a few slip through, but I suspect it can be counterproductive when it comes to appeals. If he keeps whining to the COA about ridiculous things, I would imagine that they would quickly tire of it and would be leery of anything he might say even before he says it. They shouldn't be that way because it's not fair in a sense, but they are human beings.

JSS created a monster when she let him off the hook from November to January before filing that latest stay request. So now KN is trying to bully her by saying, "I'm going to keep filing appeals and requests for stays, so in every case you have to shut down the trial like you did for those six weeks last year." But those smackdowns to KN on his appeals were also IMHO reminders to the judge that she needs to just run her case and let it end. I hope she takes the hint and realizes now that KN is doing nothing but stalling and puts an end to it. If KN refuses to even subpoena witnesses, that's not her problem. If JA refuses to testify, that's not her problem either, other than deciding what to do about her previous testimony. KN will stretch this out as long as she lets him, but surely she has to be tired of it at this point.

So it seems Dworkin and Melendez both lied under oath about the *advertiser censored* during the first trial.

Looks like we've come to an impasse. Really, really curious on how JSS will rule and if Nurmi will take it a higher court.

BBM - I don't think that's the case at all. The context they were questioned under as I recall was whether pornographic images were found on Travis's computer and neither of them nor anyone since has said that there was even one found.

Jodi Arias sentencing trial: Could it all be over Monday?

http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/mesa/2015/01/09/jodi-arias-death-penalty-ruling/21526215/

I believe it could be. DP taken out, transcripts released... I am just being realistic.

No Way, JSS isn't gonna accomodate him and take the DP off the table.

I agree with LinasK. The judge has to go through the motions of going through the motion (HA!) but there is no way she is going to take DP off the table.

I just did a search for "bedspreads". Nothing nefarious showed up. Just typical bed coverings from bed, bath, beyond, Macy's, Ikea, etc. Maybe because I use a Mac? Nothing nefarious with Dr. Seuss either.

Same here. We Mac users are leading very sheltered virtual lives.

Seriously, search engines today compared to 2007/2008 are superior in the sense that the algorithms are calibrated to return more appropriate results.

Several years' experience has made a huge difference in fine tuning what users are likely seeking when they enter a given search term.

Couple that with historical context and apply prioritized filters based on currency of search arguments entered, etc...

Search engines of that era were much more primitive and developers (and their employers, of course) used to load up their pages with trending keywords so as to 'game' the search engines.

I'll shut myself down on this topic.

I don't want to take us too far afield.

Like you say, things have changed a lot since then. IE had around 70-75% share back then whereas it's about 25% now with Chrome leading the pack at 50%. In mid-2008 Google hadn't quite taken over the search engine world yet, though it was well on its way. And of course the search algorithms have changed completely since back then.

This article from mid 2009 shows how search engines had changed over the previous 10 years. Kind of funny to see from the perspective of a nerd like me. I might have still been using altavista in 2008 myself.

Yeah, well when ALV cranked up her "porking the pot" testiphony, I'm sure there were a lot of Google searches returning porcine pot roast recipes and utensils, if you take my meaning.

Accompanied by a tossed salad maybe?

I have lost a little respect with JSS during this phase of the trial, think she has lost control of her courtroom, and her time management really stinks. However, there is NO way I will believe the reason she isn't allowing cameras is because of her own appearance. Nope. JMO
 
“The Week that WAS”
Jodi Arias cries over Supreme Court ruling, Martinez takes on computer expert
http://www.examiner.com/article/jod...ourt-ruling-martinez-takes-on-computer-expert

“#JodiArias reported to be in emotional distress as AZ Supreme Court rules her secret testimony must be released…”

“There was no objection that the transcripts be unsealed until Monday morning. It’s been 6 weeks since the Court of Appeals ruling. Now a request for stay has been filed and it hasn't been granted. Defense didn't file a special action, they didn't put anything in writing to us. They sat on their hands until Monday. Now it’s Thursday. The cost to the press and public keep rising.”

“The Court of Appeals said we could see this transcript. She wouldn't testify for reasons of not being able to tell the truth in front of us or whatever but we have a right to get this transcript. Juan has no objection to the media getting these transcripts.”

<modsnip>


“I didn't speak to Jodi for the entire day. Wow. I thought that would never happen. I loved it. No negativity, no distractions. I’m sure it was good for her too. Anyhow, that’s about it. Life is wonderful.”On that 24 hour day, the most notable thing in Travis Alexander’s life was that he wasn't forced to talk to someone who was obviously obsessed with him and stalking him. He felt free. Life was wonderful. He would be dead by that person’s hands within 60 days. And the killer is trying to call him an abuser.
