And respectfully, just because posters aren't reacting in the way you're reacting doesn't make their (respectfully posted) opinions less valuable ...
Amen!

Here's something very telling. Mr. F, according to what I've read, said he'd like to talk with Jodi and ask her what actually happened.
He has so little insight into Little Missy, even after all those days on the stand, that I think he believes there's a possibility she would actually tell him! :floorlaugh:
Even the fact that he would countenance such a question to this person shows he doesn't grasp her level of deviousness and deviance.
So the foreman says they think it's "unfair that 12 average Americans who aren't lawyers had to make such a crucial decision."
HELLO.
That is what our jury system is all about. Is he freaking kidding me? They should have mentioned on their juror questionnaire that they had a "problem" with making such a crucial decision. What is he talking about??
What's not fair? That it's going to be brutally difficult or that the state has to even go down that road as a result of the jurors being unable to come to a unanimous verdict?
======================
Now the penalty phase will have to be done all over again with another jury. Bill Zevakos says finding another impartial jury will be almost impossible.
I just think it's going to be brutally difficult and quite frankly i don't think it's fair.

Excellent post. I'm gathering 18 has a major superiority complex, not unlike JA. What, pray tell, makes him think he'd be the one person in the world shed tell the truth to? She doesn't even know what the truth is! This right here demonstrates to me that he's thinking he's way more important than he actually is. And unfortunately, this time around it threw a wrench in the gears of justice. I've sleuthed him some, and I was fairly dismayed when I saw what he does for a living.
It is my opinion she was there with her family, and only my opinion. I feel she would have been there in that courtroom for her daughter if she was in the general area. I don't believe she was told that it was just another jury question. I would think the defense team/mitigation specialist would have notified her that it was something more and to come in.

Physical resemblance. Same dead eyes. Same blank expression.
How did the juror/s even make it past voir dire with sentiments expressed in the following?
Once those sentiments were discovered, shouldn't that/those juror/s have been removed and replaced when it became clear to other jurors that those were their views?[WZ, the foreman] tells The Associated Press jurors struggled with what they called a flawed system, explaining Arias wasn't "Jeffrey Dahmer or Charles Manson." They thought it was unfair that 12 average Americans who aren't lawyers had to make such a crucial decision.OMG! Flawed system? How about flawed jurors! :banghead:

The jurors weren't flawed. You are citing one media source that cites one member of the jury. Let's give this some more time.
I wonder why they never mentioned she was armed with a gun and knives in a rental car when she got arrested. I know she said she was going camping with four strange men, but that just doesn't make sense. If she has PTSD over using a gun, and she had just killed someone, why in the world would she get a higher caliber weapon and go camping with people she didn't even know (great memory but didn't know the name of the people she's going camping with).

I appreciate your dissection of the GMA interview Midwest Mama, but I sincerely disagree.
BBM. No that isnt what he is saying, imo. I really think he is saying what he means-
I also believe that he made it clear that he identified with Jodi and not with Travis. He states Jodi was not a good witness, but he is careful to qualify it first with his take on an aggressive prosecutor and indicating he wouldnt want to have been facing him.
In the subsequent interview with him he made a statement I found astonishing:
"This is a human and she did something terrible but why did she do it."
He is victim blaming. No question. He believes Jodi was mentally and verbally abused.

I wish this trial could be mandatory viewing or reading for all teenaged boys.
If the girl you're sleeping with is straight up crazy and you know it (the kind of crazy that slashes your tires and breaks into your house), don't keep sleeping with her. Even if she's the only available sex around or does kinky stuff other girls won't. Even if she's the best sex you ever had.
Don't keep having sex with the crazy. Staying alive is way better than a few minutes of sex with the crazy.
