Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias #4

[Lissa]

We don't know the subject matter of JA's motion that was referred to another judge, do we? I seriously doubt it's about not receiving a speedy trial. That doesn't make sense. Wasn't that suggested only as a joke?

A joke? No.. She had a private investigator doing interviews talking about hear appeal tactics and he mentioned the speedy trial thing.

 

[AngelWings444]

No, the jurors have not been selected yet. If they have finished, it hasn't been released yet. Trial is scheduled to start Oct 21.

 

[AngelWings444]

No, we don't know what the subject matter is from her motion. It's not a joke about her thinking she didn't get a speedy trial. She is going to throw anything and everything against the wall, hoping something sticks. The speedy trial will not stick. She waived her right to a speedy trial and most of the delays were at her defense's request. Hope that helps.

 

[Lissa]

I think it's ridiculous. I guarantee she waived her right to a speedy trial long ago, and IIRC most of the delay requests have come from the defense. I also think Nurmi has done the best he can with the hand he was dealt, and JA has never come up with a decent reason why she wants so badly to get rid of him.

BBM. Exactly, which is why I don't think that's what the motion is about. Someone else here mentioned maybe it's about a civil case and that's why JSS sent it to another judge?

Thanks rose. I'm actually really fuzzy on what exactly happened here. I though the judge precluded them too but then I also remember reading that the DT pulled the letters themselves so I don't know exactly what happened. If that is what happened then I don't expect it to be any different now.

Dug up an old thread regarding the letters. it can be found here:
http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?200050-The-TEN-letters-Discuss-them-here

(forgive me if this has been posted already)
JA attempted to represent herself and filed a motion to enter the letters as evidence. The state filed a motion to preclude them, JA objected.
More specifically... on August 15, 2011 JA filed a motion to have her council reinstated, and the motion was granted. The very next item in the minutes is to withdraw the objection to the state's motion to preclude the letters. So the State's motion to preclude was granted.

This can be found on page 2 of the minutes:
http://www.courtminutes.maricopa.gov/docs/Criminal/082011/m4852390.pdf

From what I remember, The State had an expert that could prove that the letters were fakes. Hopefully they will stay out as they are just another failed attempt by JA to appear innocent. I am just baffled at how JA seems to still think she needs to prove her innocence. This trial isn't to find her guilty, that already happened and she conveniently likes to forget that. Ugh..what a horrid place her mind must be. :notgood:

Hope everyone is well..
:lurk:

HMMMM, if they withdrew their objection then they withdrew the letters, no? That doesn't sound like the states's motion was granted, it sounds like it wasn't necessary anymore as the defense threw in the towel.

OT:

@jeffgoldesq: #OscarPistorius sentence ruling will be on Tuesday 10/21

Minutes read:

Counsel for the Defense withdraws their objection to the State’s Motion to Preclude.
IT IS ORDERED granting the State’s Motion to Preclude the Letters.

Portion of text messages between Travis & Arias for the date of January 22, 2008 are available & of real interest. That was the day he purportedly got violent & broke her finger, when she went to his house. At 3:36 pm, she writes "I'm gonna need a ride! I'm off at 4 pm. Txt me." At 4:04 pm, she texts, "Scratch that. They're keeping me here til 5 pm. Can you pick me up then? The lunch offer from my voice mail still stands." He replies at 4:08 pm, "Sure". At 4:39 pm, Arias writes, "I'm almost off! Yea! Are U eating? If so, just sit at the counter."

On the preceding day (supposed walking in on him), she tells him, "I have a really bad headache. I can barely move." That's at 7:36 pm. He replies, "Alright, get it tomorrow then." This, at 9:11 pm. He is referring to the car she wants to borrow, I believe, although she also asks if he has made a deposit to her account on the 22nd & he has. I think he is referring to his car though, not a deposit.

Subscription? Oh, no. I dislike this trial watching paywall trend.

 

[Nali87]

That's not too bad.. I hope she gets some subscribers, not a lot of people are interested in the trial this time around.

 

[Lissa]

Yeah I was all excited until I saw that there's a charge! :gaah:

 

[Nali87]

I'm fine wth her charging if she provides good information. She can't run ads like tv shows and needs to make some decent money for all the (daily) work she'll have to put in.

her "PLAN"......What..... the plan to rip us off?

I think ill pass and stick with the lousy tweets. I really think she would have been better off just asking for donations. I bet she would have gotten more money that way if she needs money.

I really don't understand why a news network hasn't offered her the moon and stars to work for them. Or to go back to work for them. Nobody expects Beth Karas to work for free, I know that. But this is a bad idea.
Beth Karas has got to be advertising gold at some TV network, right?

Totally! She would probably make more money allowing free access to the site and placing ads on it instead. I'm sure she'd get lots of traffic.

http://trialtalklive.com I understand. But BK... she's got to be advertising gold at some TV network, right?

The economy sucks. And news ratings suck too. I don't think there are many job opportunities for BK. She's working for WAT right now. I understand her wanting to try to make a livingoff this. And well, 5,99 a month is a very reasonable price. If I were her though, I would just create a YouTube channel and try to make some money that way. People might be more open to that I guess.
