sounds like #jodiarias judge is going to tell jurors she knows they are at impasse but should get back to work to break it.

If this was a man whom did this to a woman we wouldn't be having this 2nd trial IMO

I'm frustrated why they can't along with the 1st jury just sentence her to death

Dip a cigar in bourbon. Two birds and all that.

Ha! Good idea.

"@thegoldpatrol: #jodiarias to make it simple - the jurors are at an impasse.”

A modified impasse instruction will be given to jurors. #jodiarias

Generally I'd say the impasse charge is good for State here because hung = life so this is better than nothing in #JodiArias

I wonder why the need for a modification?

 

[CarolinaMoon]

I'm going to stay calm. There's nothing I can do. I'll be fine with any verdict. Jury, please reach one.

 

[rose222]

As much as I dislike the way that this Judge has run her courtroom I cannot say that it's her fault that we have *this situation* on our hands. What more do the jurors need? If they look at Travis' butchered body and are unable to decide life or death then that's it. If this is not a case for death I don't know what is.

 

[RadarLuv]

Can someone explain Dynomite charge and what exactly is entails except for "try harder"? All I can think about with "try harder" is a bowel movement.

 

[MaLou]

This sucks so much.

I didn't think I would feel this way, but I am on the verge of tears. Clearly anyone not wanting to grant the DP didn't really believe JA's story, they are conflicted about the DP, well, in my opinion anyway...

 

[josie1986]

#JodiArias - Arizona jury standard insrt: Before giving an impasse instruction, the trial judge must determine whether
the jury is at an impasse because “prematurely giving an impasse instruction may * * * be a
form of coercion.”

Stephens called for the jury, then realized they are still at lunch. #jodiarias

:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

 

[krkrjx]

Why "modified" instructions? What's wrong with the actual instructions? Modified how?

ETA: OK...maybe modified because it is a DP deliberation and it has to look not coerced in any way. That must be it.

 

[JSR]

I'm shocked really that there are at the minimum 5 people who feel inclined to give a worthless human being like Jodi the mercy she never gave her victim. Really really shocked.

My heart breaks for the Alexanders.

 

[smeck]

The only one who should be hung right now is JA....jmo

Jury coming in momentarily to receive "modified impasse instruction" #jodiarias #3tvarias

 

[gloomy]

Ugh. This really sucks. If any of these jurors say afterwards that they just couldn't give her death, I want to know why the hell they said they could when being selected? So maddening! :maddening:

Agreed!!

Seriously...:sick:
