I believe I heard this is JSS' first death penalty case... However, if I were a taxpayer in AZ I would be pizzed beyond belief over the COST of this trial. $2 Million plus, for what? They need to get rid of the death penalty or have Judges that DO NOT cave to the Defense time after time in the hopes the verdict won't be overturned. Good Lord!
And yes, the Sheriff said NO MORE interviews....okie dokie.
I agree with the cost. I have yet to figure out why these trials are lasting so long. Is it b/c media is backing them? Not all DP trials take most months of a year. It is irritating considering they are all of equal import.
