Oh that canadian woman that killed her boyfriend and drown their kid after tormenting his parents and stalking him before murdering. What 15 years ago or so? Now is released and married with more kids? Documentary Zachary made me cry for an hour.

Wonder why MDLR came in with clothes for CMJA , according to BK. Any other tweets about it ? TIA
Someone referred to the book, Slumber Party From Hell, written by a woman who was in Perryville for seven years. I downloaded it to read about conditions in the prison, not the inmates. It does sound horrible and HOT. Think about a tiny concrete and steel cell in the middle of a dirt field when it's 117 degrees outside, with no air conditioning. That alone would kill me.
I baked a picnic pot roast during the night 1 night and tossed n turned all night long!! I also am a aardvark...so there IS that lol 😉
The murderer from "Dear Zachary" committed suicide at the same time she killed Zachary (walked into the ocean with him.) The heinous Canadian murderer who is now re-married with kids is Karla Homolka. She helped her husband molest and kill a number of teenagers, including her sister.
Actually she fled to Canada, got bail, and then killed herself and the baby.
No AC, outside cages for exercise. A horrid roach infestation. They come through the vents and cracks in the walls and window sills. I would die of exhaustion because I would NEVER ever go to sleep again.
Can someone tell me WHY JSS is so careful about appeals? Every death row convict appeals. Most lifers appeal as well, I assume. But why would the potential for an appeal make JSS be so cautious and try to avoid them? Is it because she believes the killer is guilty as charged and doesn't want the conviction overturned? Would the Judge be reprimanded if there is an appeal? I mean I guess I just don't see why the possibility of an appeal has made her operate her Courtroom the way she has.
I do agree with this and at times I have been among her worst critics. I feel she will give her LWOP but of course that is not a certainty at this point because we just don't know.
She isn't blameless completely though. She tried a case within a case. The trial, both the guilt phase, and the penalty phase ,but she also allowed the defense team to put in many issues that should have been held for the appellate court.
I have seen many death penalty Judges admonish DTs very quickly when they stray into the appellate issues rather than remaining focused on the case at hand. I have heard them sternly say to the defense when they try the shenanigans this DT has done 'that is for another day and another court, move along' and it was respected by the DT and the subjects dropped. And the prosecutorial misconduct claim shouldn't have ever entered in front of this jurors but should have been one of the appellate issues used after the verdict.
Here because she seems overly paranoid about appeal issues she has allowed way too much in that really had no reason to be included. All Judges are fully aware all DP cases are going to be automatically appealed therefore the other Judges leave out all those issues knowing that will be looked at by an entirely different court. They forge ahead always mindful of the court and jurors' time and don't timidly do as JSS has done in this case. She was able to be manipulated by the defendant herself. I don't know one Judge other than JSS who would have really allowed a defendant to testify in total privacy in front of the jury only.... yet this is the decision she made. She was rebuked for it and now that is on record.
So while I don't think she is on JAs side or anyone sides ....she has made this trial slow down to a crawl and has made some very odd rulings along the way. I don't think the Az reporters are picking on JSS when they say she has tried this case in secret. I think it is true, and the media has never had to deal with someone like JSS, and her rulings to keep so much of this case hidden from view with ad nauseam closed sidebars, and in chamber meetings.
Most Judges I have seen on DP cases rule with an iron fist and move the trial along and refuse to let the lawyers get bogged down in irrelevant issues. They are confident and believe in their rulings.... which comes much faster than in this one... is sound and valid when they are made.
