While you wait you should watch Juan's cross on Youtube. And welcome!!!!

i don't get my hackles up about much, but there is a big vein of ageism running through this trial that really PISSES ME OFF!!!!

i'm about your age. i'm tired of anyone implying we don't know about life and new things and technology, and phone sex, and crotch shots, and kinky sex, etc. not ONE of those things is news to me or any other 'old' people i know.

has everyone forgotten the 60's and 70's???? i was 21 in 1970. think i did a few things? MORE than a few? you'd think right if you said 'YES.'

i've not heard one thing in this trial i haven't heard before. i didn't live in a cave all these years, for cryin' out loud.

:banghead:

I'm 68 years old. Everything that's being done today sexually, politically, technically, I did in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's 00's, and some of it, I am still doing. So are my friends. We are hip, active. I wish people would knock off the old-folks stereotype talk! AND.....I started using computers before Windows was invented. Anyone remember DOS?

Just proves how desperate HLN is to keep people watching.

I am curious about the effects of media attention has on jury deliberations.

Specifically I wonder if media attention can be shown to contaminate thoughtful orderly analysis of evidence and testimony.
I suspect that jurors are painfully aware of the notoriety and that their verdict will be highly scrutinized.
Jurors in high profile cases are then interviewed by HLN or 48 Hours and thus reap their own 15 minutes of fame.

My hunch is that intense media attention does indeed warp the “ordinary” deliberation process. Jurors are transmogrified into analytical machines of the first order as each and every one sniffs out holes in the state’s case. Forensic evidence normally not even mentioned is found to be in error. Horn failed to mention the dural tear at the entry wound THUS the state’s entire case is SUSPECT and THUS there is now cause to invoke “reasonable doubt”.

Media attention paid to crime cases fulfills NO obvious public good. There is really no sincere “right for the public to know” question when allowing cameras into the courtroom. Why not?
Otherwise the courts should place cameras in every court room and let the public dial through the various cases being adjudicated on any given day. Cities should provide this as an ordinary public service just like cameras often cover City Council debates.

The Arias case is a veritable "train wreck" and its lure is based on prurient interests stemming from the viewing public. Because the Arias case is blood curdling and sensational, it possesses immense entertainment value.
The Arias case is being covered intensely because HLN can parlay viewership ratings into big buck profits. The price the public will pay for HLN’s intense scrutiny- or all the HLN After Dark episodes - is another miscarriage of justice and jury verdict error.

Could not agree with you more. The profiteering factor is HUGE and all at the expense of a victim who has been unmercifully trashed and dirtied up for months on end by the justice system, the print, broadcast and electronic media.

No worry at all !

No, it's not. There's a lot of people that don't like her that have followed her, as well as a lot of media. Plus some fans. JA would be loving this infamy and that makes me sick.

I would never follow her!

Haha someone *cough Donavan* keeps deleting tweets.
Like that makes them actually disappear from the internet. :lol:

not for long...

the one time I checked it out, I noticed that a whole heck of a lot of them are not saying very kind things to her. I think you have to follow in order to post remarks. They're not all fans.

I've muted HLN and am blasting the Clancy Brothers..good things always come with the Clancys..come on , justice!

 

[LotusPawprint]

I want to be a part of this solidarity... but I don't want to scoop any poop or scrub toilets.... is there anything I can do that involves, oh say, not moving from the couch or indulging in something sweet and chocolate?

 

[Stripehaven]

I am listening to the radio as I eagerly await the verdict. Currently playing? Phoebe Snow: "Two-Fisted Love. " Ahem.

 

[lastchance]

I am massively grumpy...all I wanted to do was wait with all of you, hear about the miraculous return of the Cleveland kidnapped ladies, and drool over Juan's Juanawesomeness....But noooooooooo, they had to flush the water lines today and all of my toilets geysered water like Old Faithful. Bah! Just finished drying all the walls and floors. Now I have to wash towels...Not fair.....

Trial family tree was way over the top to me too but then again consider the source: several of the talking heads that have these opinions do come off as prudish to me in many ways.

So there may be some men on that jury that is like wow you've never had kinky sex before or you never took photos before big DEAL ( i can hear it now ) or there may be women on that jury that feel this way ( that travis was a dirty guy who made JA do terrible things (if you believe alyce) ) So there are many things and elements to this case. The sex to me is besides the point. I can put all of their sexual exapades in a corner over here; because I dont think she HAD sex with him the day she killed him and it could even be the reason WHY he is dead : Rejection.

We do still live in a world where some people cannot discuss, sex. Esp in america! *bizarre as that sounds it's true!*

In order to stay somewhat hip as I get older I vowed....never to wear stretch pants, never to wear polyester knit, always to wash and do my own hair, never have beehive hairdos, never to stop wearing blue jeans, never wear pants that are too short with white socks and sanders, never wear kneehighs with a dress that's too short, never to have a slip hanging below my skirt/dress, stop wearing makeup to avoid putting eyeshadow over my eyebrows and lipstick far out away from lips, never wear granny underwear, never wear sweats 24 hours a day or sweat pants with a dress shirt. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Justice for Travis!
