#JodiArias jury drama!
Deliberating juror wants to switch with alternate?

Nurmi on the way.

Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed!

Ohh fuuuuuuuuuudge. I can't believe I took the day off for this.

BK reporting that Nurmi is on speakerphone and they are waiting for JA to come in as there are juror questions...

 

[Madeleine74]

It's all somewhat anti-climatic and manufactured drama.

If JA gets DP she goes to Perryville and is there for rest of her life and is not executed.

If JA gets LWOP she goes to Perryville and is there for the rest of her life and is not executed.

Wow. Sure sounds like a juror can't make a decision. Overwhelmed???

Sounds to me like someone can't pull the trigger, but I'm just guessing like everyone else.

In canada Life has a possiblility of parole after 25 years

In Arizona, it doesn't.

A juror asking to be released is not a major issue, although deliberations would have to "start over" with the replacement. Obviously the jury can't request a specific replacement, though, and now they will have to be questioned regarding the reason for the request. If the request is just coming from the one juror who wants to be excused, it is not as much of a problem as if the request is from the whole jury.

A problem that could lead to a mistrial?

Judge said she's waiting for #JodiaArias to get in courtroom to finish two questions #TravisAlexander #abc15

Why in the world would JA be in the courtroom right now? Without her lawyers? Without her case being in the courtroom right now? I think that BK is either misunderstanding or got wrong information.

MOO

BK said she is in the courtroom right now and JA is requesting to talk to Nurmi in person (doesn't sound like he is at courthouse yet)...

 

[Nosey Parker]

BK is reporting JA was in the courtroom (her attorneys on speakerphone) and the courtroom spectators told BK that JA requested to speak to her attorneys in person... BK said no one from the media was in the courtroom at the time, only spectators while judge was handling other cases...

Good Lord - what is going on? Why was Arias in court?

Lawyers coming in for jury questions? hmmm will the public be able to hear them?

 

[MeeBee]

It's all somewhat anti-climatic and manufactured drama.

If JA gets DP she goes to Perryville and is there and not executed.

If JA gets LWOP she goes to Perryville and is there and not executed.

In one she spends her life in solitary and another she gets a chance to fraternize and bunk with other inmates. It's not the same.

 

[smeck]

That's what makes me nervous about jury trials in the US.......too many variables as to what "issues" a juror may bring with him/her that could interfere with deliberations. For someone who has never sat on a jury they would not know what to expect until they get in the deliberation room and by then it is too late. JMOO

This was posted along with the news about the juror request:

Cathy ‏@courtchatter · 13m13 minutes ago
#jodiarias asked to speak to Nurmi in person

The juror wants to speak with Nurmi????? :crazy: WHY??????????????????????????? What possible reason could they have????

I can't even with this mess!!!!!!!

Ok wait, Jodi wants to speak with Nurmi???? That makes more sense.... She's gonna through a fot though!

 

[Sweet Fox]

Perhaps one juror is refusing to switch to DP, and wants off? *hope they grant that decision if thats the case*

That's the first thought that came into my mind.
