This has an excerpt from the June 4 CMJA defense ploy...so sad they chose that day...I have to say that I think doing it that day was strictly CMJA's idea. We know she's always trying to get back at the family. I don't think even JW and Nurmi would go that low if they weren't forced to.
I have to say that I love most of the reader comments on that article! The Arizona taxpayers, at least in those comments, don't seem to mind paying for the re-trial at all!
And a lot of the comments noted that JW and Nurmi are the ones who DRAGGED THE TRIAL OUT for months and months. They didn't seem to be caring too much about the "cost to the taxpayer" THEN!! Oh, how convenient!! Nooooo.....then it was all about "fairness" to the defendant. They would have said cost shoudn't matter when we're talking about the State trying to take someone's life. Yet NOW they say cost should matter?? Even if she was before the judge for a traffic ticket, the defense would be shouting "fairness, fairness!"
And since when does the general public get to decide, on a whim, how the law is carried out? The law states that if theire's a mistrial in the penalty phase, the State is allowed to re-try it with a new jury. That is what the law allows for, it's in the books, and why should the public all of a sudden get a say in it? The public gets to have a say in the proper form, which is as a juror member going through the proper judicial process, or in the process of
making a law. So, for example, if a jury finds someone not guilty, can the "general public" all of a sudden create a protest and just throw the person in jail anyway?
Then what's the point of HAVING THE LAW IN THE FIRST PLACE??
