Yet another delay today...
From reviewing the juror questions for Dr D, I am now more than ever convinced they will not sentence the murderer to death. I believe Nurmi has indeed been successful in saving his client's life. My guess is the jury will come to a consensus that CMJA suffers from agency form of mental illness and will spare her.
The thing that breaks my heart is that Travis will never get the justice he deserves. The killer's defense is based on her lies. There is no way to disprove them. He cannot defend himself. And I am upset that this killer may win again...in the sense that she continues to attack Travis' character and she makes up more lies as she goes. I am disgusted with this farce of a trial. This "retrial" is now longer than the guilt phase, for crying out loud. I have tried to avoid judge bashing, but it is clear JSS is in way over her head, justice is not prevailing here, the trial has gone awry because this judge is not a manager of anything - no time management, no limits on sidebars, allowing frivolous motions, affidavits from anonymous people, weeks of inactivity, secret testimony, etc. Total disregard for the jury, no boundaries. No order.
Wasted resources. How can JSS expect 16 people to put their lives on hold for so long? This retrial was supposed to end December 18.
I am beginning to think it is JSS strategy to lose jurors and JSS will sentence her to LWOP.
Everyone wins, except Travis and the Alexander family. It saddens me that justice will not be served, for the victim.
Yep, I am bummed. I check twitter at the end of the day only to find much of the same nonsense. No progress. One step forward, two steps back.
