prosecutors look to retry him

 

[joe jones]

He is being retried at the moment in the same court building as Jodi Arias was, Maricopa County Court, very little media attention that I can see

 

[joe jones]

today was just a hearing full trial is set for July 29th, expected to last 6-8 weeks, now his confession has been thrown out the only real evidence they have to even place him at crime scene is Allesandro Garcia, he pled guilty to the murders in order to get LWOP not DP and testified against Doody

I have never heard the judge give jury instructions at the beginning of the trial.

Is that a little girl in the front row in the pigtails? Who on earth would bring their child to a trial with photos of gore?

Maricopa County Judge Joseph Kreamer ruled Doody will serve 249 years in prison without the possibility of parole...
