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.

BBM - I believe it was just a URL (singular) according to Sue. So much for BN's "I stopped after 90 pages of printing *advertiser censored* links" or whatever it was he said.

Nurmi- Our most crucial witness of all testimony is at stake. She's a mentally ill woman. #jodiarias #3tvarias

Oh my, are the violins playing yet?
 
Still don't think you need two bottles of the stuff to drive in an air conditioned car through the desert for a couple of days. She lived in AZ and CA. Did she use suntan lotion on a daily basis? Was this a regular purchase for her? I wonder why JM didn't ask her what the suntan lotion was for? She probably would have lied but it would have been interesting. JA never tells a simple lie, she always elaborates. LOL

MOO

the importance, if any, of the pairs of sunscreen and facial cleansers is the travel size itself. They are plane friendly and we already know she travels with full size toiletries on road trips. JMO
 
My gut tells me the same.
JSS can't take the DP off the table "just because". There have to be actual legal reasons for doing so, supported by fact. So on what basis do you think she's going to do this, and supported by what proven facts? Personally, I can't see any at all.

There is no evidence of prosecutorial misconduct - only unproven allegations.

There is ZERO evidence of child *advertiser censored*.

There's a grand total of ONE *advertiser censored* link that Travis *allegedly* clicked on, but didn't actually search for.

(Even if there was godzilllions of *advertiser censored*, defense would have to prove that it made a substantive difference for it to matter at all, let alone justify removal of the death penalty.)

There are plenty of ways for witnesses to testify anonymously without banning the public/media - it is not a case of total secrecy or nothing at all.

The Court of Appeals and Supreme Court have ruled that Arias does not have a need or right to testify in secret. What she decides to do now is totally up to her. What she can't do is say she was forced to stay silent, because that's not true - the higher courts have found that testifying in open court will not harm her right to a fair trial by an impartial jury in any way.
 
Yes.



I think the point people were making about "teen *advertiser censored*" was that, on the Internet, what's labeled as "teen *advertiser censored*" is actually young adult *advertiser censored* (18+).

Exactly, just like no matter how many braids or schoolgirl outfits or waxes she had, JA was still an almost 30 year old woman that was giving it away for free.
 
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.
http://sixrevisions.com/web_design/popular-search-engines-in-the-90s-then-and-now/

Lol, things certainly have changed since I've been "surfing". Webcrawler used to be one of my faves, then Yahoo and now pretty much just Google(though I really dislike how search engines in general try to restrict you now, even though I'm sure much of that has come about because of certain segments of society that only exist to cause chaos, the rest I chalk up to business advertising researchers). Anyway, I found most of the other search engines were too prone to letting their searches return urls from those who bought their way to the top and from 1995-2005 I was mostly researching constitutional and genealogical stuff so they were pretty useless imo.
 
I do agree with you. Most people don't consider sunscreen for driving especially of Jodi's conplexion. But she is a vain woman and planned to maybe be in the sun for a bit, filling her gas tank and changing her murder clothes and what not. She definitely bought sunscreen for this trip IMO. I had considered it could be because she thought she could change his mind about Cancun. But she seemed so all-in with her plan to kill him that I don't know.

She likely had known that it had been in her name initially, since some of the 1001 places her and TA were supposed to have seen were on that trip.
I can see her thinking, at least until she checked TA's email and saw the ticket no longer had her name on it, that she could use "her" ticket for a connecting flight to Costa Rica. Does Costa Rica and the US have an extradition treaty?

Wow, every time I go to this site to read articles about this trial I have to wonder how a paper can employ such a biased reporter, does he have majority shares in it(reminds me of Conrad Black) or has his "editorials" just been mislabeled as news?
 
Yes indeed. First year I had the Internet I wanted to shop for an Erector set as a present......... oh boy, I finished my education when the search results came up! lol

Haven't commented in awhile--but just to show how easily a single computer click can bring up a *advertiser censored* site--I clicked "bedspread" as a search title--I wanted a plain old bedspread--not a comforter- Well the sites that IA brought up were crazy. One of my partners wanted to research Dr Seuss for her 10 year old and even got *advertiser censored* hits for that...It's not really hard to bring up some gross sites...Innocent accidents do occur.
Just a few weeks ago, I googled an unfamiliar two-word phrase which I read here on Websleuths. Not only did I need eye bleach, but the Geek Squad down at Best Buy had to keep my laptop overnight to get rid of a virus. Who knew there was such a pornographic link to bedspreads and curtains!
 
Well Good Morning! I have been working the past few days and see if have alot to catch up on. I have been reading Twitter, etc, and it appears things are looking up for us Travis Alexander supporters.
Karma is indeed coming for the murderess. She looks like hell in the pics I have seen of her this past week. I must admit I have been very disheartened with December's defense antics and thought they were winning. Now.... Not so much...
If i can throw my date of sentencing into the mix, I will pick February 20 as the date she starts packing her boxes for Perryville.
I think I am seeing JSS' strategy now. IMO she plans to wrap up these loose ends - *advertiser censored*, prosecutorial misconduct, etc etc, in the coming week and then get the testimony back on track (maybe 2 days of testimony in front of the jury vs one, lol - still skeptical) and move forward to get this convicted murderer sentenced FINALLY.
I can't see what other issues Nurmi can throw into the mix, at this point, that can hold up the trial for further delay. (skepticism aside). JSS must see how ridiculous this retrial has become and is ready to get serious. Any other Nurmi antics can be addressed via appeal.
I can't wait to read CMJA's testimony transcripts! Wonder what new lies she has spewed.
Just my opinion, but I think the murderess, thinking she was smarter than her attorneys and everyone else, went for self defense thinking it couldn't fail. This was against her attorneys advice, they probably wanted to go with the "snapped" defense, crime of passion sort of thing. As it evolved into failure for her, as evidenced by what Nurmi said in his closing argument in the guilt phase about CMJA just "snapped", the murderess regretted her decision, evidenced by her post verdict interviews where she said her attorneys and yes, even the jury, "betrayed" her. So, after a year and a half, she conjured up "*advertiser censored*", prosecutorial misconduct, and now "mental illness". Through her pro per she manipulated the computer evidence somehow, thinking of course she is still smarter than everyone, either through her PI, BN, "Tony" or "Sue". Now it is backfiring big time, and she feels the clock ticking, she is deflated and absolutely desperate. Knowing she is a sociopaths, I am sure she still blames everyone, except of course, herself.
Boy was I frustrated with this entire retrial at the beginning of the Holiday break. I was thinking the jury was going to bail, and we'd have to count on JSS handing down her sentence, and me thinking Life with the possibility of parole. Now, I feel more positive than ever although still am not convinced she will get the DP. I have said I was ambivalent about the death penalty to begin with, but now I feel if anyone deserves death, she does. CMJA is pure evil. She coldly and purposefully premeditated Travis' murder, and well before 5/26/08. Given the chance, she would kill again if given parole. She will continue to harbor bad feelings for Deanna, Sky, Clancy Talbot, ANYONE who loved Travis.
The chickens are coming home to roost for this murderer. I am anxiously waiting to see if she verbalized remorse for killing Travis in her "secret no more" testimony. I doubt it.
Ok, done with my rant. Haven't had much time to read my much loved Websleuths posters lately, so I am hoping I am not being redundant. So as I watch our football play off games this weekend all comfy and cozy, I am thinking the murderess may be hitting a few walls in her cell. Me bad.
 
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.

Just catching up from last night - also, wasn't it alluded to through tweets that this was Nurmi's request for reconsideration of a prior ruling to reject this argument? Didn't the judge say something to the effect of "haven't I heard this before?" To me, that provides even more assurances that she isn't going to grant Nurmi's request. It was just same old, same old.
 
Good Morning Folks! :seeya:

The Jodi Arias Death Penalty Retrial: A Juror’s Perspective

DAY 21
“SMOKE, MIRRORS AND THE ARM OF JUSTICE”

There are times that the movements in a Courtroom can be akin to the moving of pieces on a Chess board. Every move that a game piece makes on the board has a consequence. An average Chess player knows how to move the pieces. :thinking:

A good Chess player thinks three to five moves ahead when he moves his pieces. :juanettes:

The killer must get on the stand or face certain checkmate…

BBM ~ It is weird to me that the transcripts could not be released by end of Friday. How long does it take to get this together? We should of have this by end of Friday, unless of course we are on Nurmi time.

Secondly, why is every motion under advisement? Does JSS not get a briefing about what she is about to hear? (pros. misconduct/*advertiser censored*).

So, let's say she rules against this (pros. misconduct/*advertiser censored*). Nurmi has threatened again to go to COA.

Which is worse? Taking the DP off, or to continue to have every DT motion escalated?

I also get a vibe that I don't think the jurors were expecting to still be there almost 1 month after they were originally told this would be over. We are not even done with Geffner!

According to Numi, there are no more witnesses to testify unless she allows them to do so in "secrecy". Sure, Juan says get subpoenas, video etc.... but guess what? Nurmi will say they could not properly testify because they were forced. It also seems Juan is not too concerned if he cannot cross them.

These may not be facts, just my gut. Someone please enlighten me. :coffeews:

Ugh. BK apparently thinks Laurence did a good job today; good enough to sway "some judges" into dropping the DP. Tho likely not JSS, she says.

Yeah, well she was also impressed with BN so I'm learning to appreciate her detailed notes on testimony, but not necessarily her opinion of it.

Thanks for posting this! Good reading!

If this were a game of Chess, the prosecution has just put the defense in “Check”. The defendant has to make a decision and there is only one decision she can make. Were this defendant to choose to discard her testimony, the Jury will be left with the impression that the Defendant continues to hide something. This hiding goes directly toward aggravation. At the least, it has no mitigating value.

Her only alternative is to get on the stand. The Jury needs her to get on the stand so they can hear the greatest two missing mitigating factors in the scenario that she has created. She must show remorse and she must take ownership of the crime. She will do neither when she is on the stand but the damage will be greater should she refuse to return to the stand. Her life depends upon it and the Jury knows it whether she chooses to believe it or not. I cannot help but wondering if after the conclusion of this Chess game, that a Master of Chess would be able to trace his fatal move backwards to the point in time when Arias took the stand in secret.

The killer must get on the stand or face certain checkmate…

During penalty phase #1 Nurmi complained about witnesses getting death threats and told the Judge that he would not be calling any witnesses. The Judge said 'fine' and moved on to Arias' allocution. I don't understand why the Judge is catering to Arias' every whim and fancy this time around. It's strange. The Judge seems convinced that the defendant has the right to a secret trial.

I fully expect more drama and delays next week. :gaah:

The 13th juror didn't comment about something that struck me odd at the time, but it just clicked. Juan started with a bombshell on the guy's name and followed with the nickname question. I had no idea what he was doing with that when I first read it in yesterday's tweets. But now that I read the context of him asking about using a nickname while working with BN, it makes sense. He was planting a seed in the juror's mind that this guy must be some awful hacker or some sort of shady character - he doesn't even use his real name with people he works with. It all goes toward wiping out his credibility.

Is that how you read that question?

On a related note, I suspect we'll hear Juan ask DeMarte questions like:
- Is that your real name? Objection / Overruled / Yes
- Have people ever said bad things about you on Facebook, Twitter, and so on? Objection / Overruled / Yes
- Has that ever stopped you from testifying? Objection / Overruled / No
- Have you ever testified using a fake name? Objection / Overruled / No
- Have you ever hidden your background and expertise when testifying? Objection / Overruled / No
 
From the above 13th Juror link:

"“…My [Nurmi] client cannot present a full case for life if these [secret testimony] documents are released. Mitigating evidence will be compromised,” he pleaded. He looked down at his notes and then back at the Judge. “This is not about the First Amendment and it is not about KPNX, the media or public rights. This is about our showing mitigating factors and her life. She is not actualized mitigation. The Defendant begs that we do not release these manuscripts.”

I'd appreciate translations of the two bolded sentences, because I don't understand them. Nurmi is claiming future mitigation witness testimony "will be compromised" if JA's testimony is released? How so? And what does "She is not actualized mitigation" mean? TIA
