I'll be on the phone with HLN at 4pm EST to talk #jodiarias
"I am also requesting to make a brief record ex parte."
Well, that should be interesting. More "cold, cruel world" in one "brief record" than the Brontës put in all their poetry and novels combined.
In two short sentences Wednesday, Jodi Arias gave up her intent to defend herself against the death penalty in her upcoming retrial.
"I hereby relinquish my pro per status and reassert my 6th amendment right to counsel," she wrote. "I am also requesting to make a brief record ex parte."
Jodi Arias won't represent herself at sentencing retrial

... the reporter states that TA took raw and naked pictures of Jodi...as if she was taken advantage of.
That is what I think as well. Either her main witnesses failed to show up at all OR finally realized they had better not lie for her.
Good question! Wonder if we'll ever find out - I hate all this sealing garbage and trial by twitter! :tantrum:
She certainly does know how to generate buzz (and I'm sure she just hates the thought of this new flurry of media attention). Maybe in another life she could have gone into PR.
