Who is in charge of programming there? On the eve of the retrial that brought them huge numbers, HLN bounces JVM into dead air. She had just won her time slot against all cable channels, with a recap of the Arias case. When HLN curtailed her shows to four a week, it was a warning. But the audience didn't know what was next. I guess the channel doesn't have two quarters to rub together. But their financial sheets are going to look much worse now they have eliminated their ratings winner.

The hearing scheduled for 4:30 pm ET in #jodiarias is not happening. It's been vacated. Trial starts tomorrow at 1 pm ET.
For those asking about if the DP were to be dismissed at this point...if that were to happen I believe there would be an opportunity for the defense to argue for life with parole. A sort of mini-mitigation, for lack of a better term. Not sure if such a proceeding would allow witnesses but I think it would allow impact statements, maybe even an allocution by the killer. Maybe AZlawyer will stop in and elaborate as IIRC she posted something about this previously--I just can't find the post right now.
What about those 4 urgent motions Nurmi filed? The secrecy in this case just leads to so much confusion. :facepalm:MC Superior Court ‏@courtpio · 15m15 minutes ago

The hearing that was set for today at 1:30pm In the #jodiarias case has been vacated.
Agreed! Other than if the convict is in stripes, I really don't care who is wearing salmon, teal, plum, khaki or what they had/want to eat!!!I seriously hope all these pay-for-trial-videos websites won't result in there not being immediatly spot on tweets as things are happening. What I mean is, I hope Jen and Co. don't start saving all the good stuff for their blog and tweet less.
I'm all for all these reporters turn entrepeneurs but I hope their tweets stay on point!
What can this mean. Sorry on break an just saw this recent tweet

CNN reports but is using an unnamed source "close to the defense": Arias will not be testifying in this re-trial, however you never know with Arias who has a mind of her own. The defense team has cobbled together a handful of witnesses to testify in her behalf. (All of this comes from the source.) That is not the report I read on a news site, which said simply that she will not testify. The source may be correct in assessing her as capable of forcing the issue with Nurmi. We do know she is trying to avoid cross examination but on the other hand, she is just driven to take the courtroom focus.
I've bee wondering.. Does Nurmi have a choice when it comes to the pedophelia accusations or does he need to listen to his client? I wonder if he and JW have much choice in what they've been saying in court..
She gets to direct her defense whether they like it or not.
No doubt. But the one involving Flores's wife won't go far. A lead dectective's wife wouldn't jeopardize his case by posting sealed info, which she didn't have access to anyhow. Anything Mrs. Flores posted was common knowledge, and she does have a right to express her opinion.I think she's responsible for this misconduct motion as well.
Does this mean we aren't going to be able to watch Vinnie Politan get all hyper and animated while doing ridiculous re-enactments with Mike Brooks ?
Is Vinnie Politan not going to have his "After Dark" program where he has a fake jury decide the answer to his "question of the day" ?
What about the half dozen attorneys they had on every night, talking over one another and smiling big for the cameras, are they gone too ??
What are we supposed to do for entertainment this time around ??
Monday Night Football only comes on once a week !!
