Ok, now looks like we're done.
All the ladies in blue at the DT table are chatting it up. Seem to be giving JA support.
JW is providing ex parte notices that she wishes to have sealed. There are 3 - judge orders them sealed even though she has not seen them, does not know what they are. There will be other supplemented materials given related - and JSS will also seal those.
Even if she had killed him in self defense, there would be a lot of sorrow and remorse there for taking a human life...

That doesn't change anything apparently. #JodiArias won't allocute.

Judge asks to clarify #JodiArias -- you will not be subject to cross-examination. Does this change your decision? #JodiArias: No #abc15

#JodiArias is crying or wiped her eyes. Hard to tell.
I'm not sure. I think it will depend on Juan Martinez' closing. But it will definitely not be life: hung or DP.

AzLawyer, can the DT just beg for mercy? As in, next to arguing mitigating factors? Can they say - even if you don't find mitigating factors - show her mercy?
I think the verdict will be death.
Everyone left but judge says she wants something else on the record and JM is summoned back in.

Normally I'd agree. But with the defense they've mounted (jodi pushed) I think even Nurmi realized they were sealing her fate. No one wants to hear months and months of victim bashing. Those letters kind of solidified it for me. All the jury will be thinking is "why is it so important for them to prove these stories?" I don't think they care when Travis lived with the bishop, if he watched *advertiser censored*, if he talked to more than one woman at once. I believe they have to feel insulted at what they were presented in this mitigation phase. It was a bunch of hot air and blather. She barely even showed remorse.
