Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - Day 33

[josie1986]

@TrialDiariesJ: Jodi is here in khaki sweater, hair down, glasses on #jodiarias #3tvarias

 

[Bravo]

Maybe her folder contains the sale circulars from the Sunday paper.

We know it's not the latest issue of Vogue

 

[TorisMom003]

Why do they focus on "no bangs"? JA has had her hair all one length with no bangs for a while now.

 

[runningwater]

Do you think that men have as many ties as I do shoes?
Just wondering...:thinking:

 

[DebinGA]

There's always one in a crowd. But.....this time I'm convinced most jurors will be really really be convinced she deserves the DP and won't politely defer to a hold out's delicate sensibilities.

Iirc, jurors are allowed to bring their general knowledge into deliberations, hopefully including for some that no woman has been executed in AZ in over 80 yrs. Giving JA the DP realistically means separating her from possible future victims in the general prison population, not being put to death.

Maria pours a TCW and sits next to her bestie #JodiArias to catch up on jailhouse hijinks.

Should start soon. Grab a Tim Hortons quickly.

Nurmi's all, meh we don't want no oral argument.

Judge will wait for a written response from the state.

Nurmi axes to proach. #JodiArias

 

[josie1986]

@TrialDiariesJ: Nurmi filed a motion for mistrial over Geffner #jodiarias #3tvarias

@TrialDiariesJ: Judge will wait for State to respond and hold an oral argument #jodiarias #3tvarias

Shut up nurmi

What's this all about? What have I missed

:seeya: I've been thinking about MDLR and the fact that her contract is up end of February. Most of the information about her activities has been conjecture, based on name dropping and in-fighting from the Arias crowd, with unconfirmed suspicions about her role in tweets, funds, and art sales. However, we do know that she smuggled 'contraband' out of the jail, and that Juan pointed out to the judge that she was leaking information to MK. We also know that her demeanour in court is less than professional. She must, IMO, be a cause of concern and embarrassment to other mitigation specialists. I assume that not renewing her contract, causing her to withdraw from the case, would create judicial havoc, and is perhaps not even an option. That being said, I wonder if the County (if they are allowed to) will elect to place her on an hourly fee only, and decline to pick up her contract once sentence is passed. It would not surprise me to learn that Juan has registered a complaint against her.

I read the contract. It ends at the end of this month. There is a provision that if the contract ends while a death penalty trial is ongoing, she has to stay until the end on a month by month contract.

@TrialDiariesJ: Feb 17th is oral argument at 8:30am MST #jodiarias #3tvarias

Jury on their way in. All rise and such. #JodiArias

When she gets up for her allocation and starts talking about being a survivor and starts showing the shirt, I would immediately decide on the death penalty. I know it can't be done, but I think the jurors need to know what she has been having people tweet for her--the terrible things about Juan, Flores, DeMarte, etc. I think they should be aware that she, at least at times, has had somewhat of a "cult" following at Estrella. We all know that Jodi will be the most popular female inmate at Perryville once she gets in the general population. I saw where, during the first trial, other inmates were holding up signs saying that Jodi was innocent. She was giving or loaning them barrettes for their hair. She made up different lies about what happened, telling one Estrella inmate that she cut Travis's body into pieces and spread the pieces all over Maricopa County. The other females at Perryville will be trading her all kinds of things in exchange for sex. Someone put on Websleuths that in one journal, she was willing to have a threesome with Travis and some other girl because that's what Travis wanted. She needs to stay in isolation the entire time she is there. She will never let Travis's siblings and friends have closure.

@TrialDiariesJ: Jury is in, let's go! #jodiarias #3tvarias

 

[Charterhouse]

I was thinking more like the Help Wanted ads from Saturday's paper. I think she's going to be unemployed, as soon as this circus is over.

I know someone said that MDR is not an attorney. So what is the education background for a mitigation specialist? Does anyone know?

Dr DeMarte takes her seat at the stand. Light gray suit, black shirt/dress dealy.

Nurmi is up. #JodiArias


Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial · 4s 5 seconds ago

Nurmi recaps some of the things they discussed last week.

Talking about her experience as a student not being exp as a doctor. #JodiArias

 

[josie1986]

@TrialDiariesJ: Nurmi wants to talk about DeMarte's experience and how she counted student time for that #jodiarias #3tvarias

Probably would have been better for DT no just say nothing further today cause he's digging a hole and just can't help himself

 

[Hope4More]

No clues on BK. Just that DT ok with it being decided on the pleadings, no oral argument, State given time to reply in writing.
