Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - Day 6

[MeeBee]

@TrialDiariesJ: We think the witness is a guy so who knows but they are fearful of their life and won't testify if we r there #JodiArias #3tvarias

Hmm Arias family told to leave....I wonder if Bill is going under the bus a la Casey claims.... it has to be something pretty big

 

[Hope4More]

wow! They are even throwing out members of the defense team? :innocent:

lol!!!!

How old would JA's brother be now?

For someone who asked to die, the killer sure seems to be fighting hard to save her own life.

 

[bsk]

Now that we know HER family has been ejected I think it IS her. She is going to spew a bunch of lies (more than before) about them and needs them gone- too!

That would be interesting if at the original trial she used her dying dad for sympathy and now throws him and mommy dearest under the bus as abusing her for years.

She did throw them under the bus during the first one. The only place she didn't go was sexual abuse by dad. She went the physical abuse route by both mom and dad already.

What if it's Aunt Sue, lying about abuse?

It's a good possibility and Nurmi knew that the family wouldn't be able to contain their disbelief from the jury, thus they had to go. Of course Nurmi's buddy Kiefer is the first and only to report that this motion was filed by Nurmi. :facepalm:

 

[HarvestMoon]

who the witness is?

The only ones who seem to know are those left in the courtroom. And they must be sworn to secrecy.

 

[Dmacky]

Whoa!

That came directly from JA. She has all the control

 

[Nali87]

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. I am beyond pissed off.

 

[wenwe4]

The only witness that could request the room be cleared (including JA's family) would be a child in JA's family, that is the only theory that would make any sense to me.

Hmm I think Jodi was twelve when she kicked Doggyboy and Carl was still in diapers.

 

[runningwater]

I want to know who this is and I want to know now!!!!

 

[HarvestMoon]

Yup, unbelievable, shenanigans.

Since when can a person "refuse" to testify in a court of law?

In the sentencing phase of a DP trial, I bet the convicted can. I think she said she wanted to address her jury, but only in a closed court, and probably didn't even have to give a reason. On her part, it's more drama, more chaos, and a last dig at the "haters" by blocking them. IMO, of course.

Doubt it's the elderly gentleman, or why would he have walked into a crowded courtroom earlier.

 

[RadarLuv]

I think it is her.

Her team is saying that she NEEDS to testify to save her own life but she refuses ("against her lawyers advice") unless she gets her way essentially making it impossible for her to get a fair trail, thus creating cause for a mistrial.

Just my theory. I know nothing about the law really.
