Arias trial: Death threat made against defense attorney
By Michael KieferThe Republic | azcentral.comWed Apr 24, 2013 11:44 AM
In the court of public opinion, the penalties of defending Jodi Arias or testifying in her behalf are threats against your career or even your life.
A Maricopa County chief deputy sheriff said the Sheriffs Office looked into two matters regarding Arias defense attorney Jennifer Willmott and confirmed that at least one of them was a death threat made from out of state.
It was not even credible, said Deputy Chief Jack MacIntyre, and he said that Willmott did not want to aid in prosecution, so there would be no ongoing investigation.
But a transcript of another voice mail to Willmott, which was obtained by The Arizona Republic, said, You dont have to return my call, but Im just telling you: If Jodi, if you get her off of the death penalty, we will find you, we know where youre at, we will kill you. I told Alyce the same thing, and were tired, and were sick and tired of you defending this person, and we will get you.

I don't really care, to tell you the truth. Only because Juan Martinez gets credible death threats. It's their business-capital murder death penalty cases draw world-wide attention in some cases. Crazy people are always going to make crazy threats. I'm sure it's not JW's first death threat--she works capital cases. And defending child molesters, Nurmi must get tons of them.
I don't agree with them--but it's not unusual & I'm sick of Michael Keifer and his sour attitude towards the prosecution in the Arias case. He also lies and stretches the truth.
Maybe we now know why his articles are so nice to the defense--he seems to have an inside line to Willmott. Friends, perhaps?
