Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - 1/9-1/12 Break - Part 2

[bsk]

Juan said he was questioning her about previous drug use, potential welfare fraud, etc. At that point Willmott stopped the interview and took Patti back. When Patti returned she pleaded the fifth and that was the end of that. He also said she appeared inebriated when she showed up to testify (which she did, IMO). The defense would not have put her on. It could be that Juan was right or the defense. IMO logic points to Juan's explanation being more likely. Again, she was set to go until the interview.

She sounds as coherent as the rest of the defense witnesses, including their "experts".

JM did file a motion to preclude any witnesses from testifying under a pseudonym. Apparently it was denied. I agree it's ridiculous.

It COULD have resulted in a mistrial in theory, but it WOULDN'T result in a mistrial in practice, because the AZ Supreme Court is (1) pretty smart, and (2) very practical--in other words, they will twist things around a bit if necessary to avoid obvious injustice. I don't always like that because I'm kind of a legal purist, but I get it. So they would not allow a mistrial even if they (for reasons I can't fathom) thought there was some problem with releasing the transcript.

BBM - I presume the state must know his real name and his background correct?

Do you expect the DT to start pulling this same trick with more witnesses now that the genie is out of the bottle?

So, do we think it may be Daryl Brewer tomorrow? He is the only one who seemed anxious to testify for Jodi by the end of the original trial. He was actually disappointed he wasn't able to tell their "Love Story", SMH. I have come to believe he DOES have a lot of guilt and regret. He doth protest too much, IMOO. I wonder if he is still a drinker. He definitely had a dry mouth, in his TV interview. Medicated maybe?

It was pretty obvious he still had strong feelings for JA. If he were to testify, it would be interesting after he fawns all over her under direct if Juan were to start out with a question of "Are these your hands and penis?" as he flashes up *that* picture followed by "And would you be willing to allow an expert to examine yours more closely to compare them with the picture you said is not of you?" The DT would be jumping over the table. Strike it from the record, who cares - the jury would get the message. Heck Laurence would get to write up another mistrial motion out of it, so he gets another $1,000 or so in his pocket.

If I was a juror I would be wondering when is the convicted murderer going to say she is sorry for this horrible crime.

I think she will say she's sorry. But she won't utter the words "He didn't deserve this.". She will find a way to still blame him, somehow.

If you were on this jury currently, where would your mindset be? It sucks that we've only had tweets, but based on the testimony so far (excluding JA's secret one), what would you be thinking?

Why is Travis Alexander--the victim-- on trial?

 

[katydid23]

Well, the defense is still trying to get those pedophile letters in. Both the defense and state have handwriting and document experts on tap. We could be hearing about those letters tomorrow. Maybe.

OH MY LORD. Are you SERIOUS? In the mitigation phase they are pulling this BS about obviously phony letters? FFS I might have to give up watching this trial for awhile. My BP cannot take it. :furious:

 

[ohreally]

I think Jodi will be the witness today.

Should be interesting this morning. I see on some twitters people are saying Juan confesses to misconduct. Funny I don't remember him doing that. Some are saying she will be going home and some are saying she will be leaving for prison. No one seems to know what the heck they are talking about Anyway. I hope all these motions get settled today. Hoping for the transcripts too

Come on- Juan is hilarious. That was funny with a capital F! Poor Wilmott, I wonder if she has a sense of humor at all, outside of court. I love Juan.

Who knows about Wilmott. For all we know she's still looking for that darn sim card.

Please be kidding MeeBee. They actually found a handwriting expert that will say it was Travis? That is just -- how -- what, huh!!? Confused over here!

And what if JSS says, just like she did with the experts, present it to the jury and "may the side with the best expert win"?

This would be another blow to the Alexanders, who are already concerned about what people think about their brother. (Based on Katiecoolady previous comments psoted on here.)

The defense will have a guy named John Smith I mean Jones who will testify in disguise. His background will be that he was a high school dropout, but he has been around handwriting his whole life. He owns his own company that has done this sort of analysis for many companies. He is kinda sorta certain it was Travis's handwriting, although he was just handed it last night and didn't really have time to look too closely.

Unfortunately, she’ll be sent to Perryville which is like a 5 star hotel compared to Estrella. Perryville is a newer facility with larger cells, better mattress, etc. Also if she’s on DR, she can have her own TV and even a fan to cool her off in hot weather. It’s much too nice for the likes of JA.

I wish we had a prisoner exchange program with some third world countries. There she would find out what real hell is and would get the treatment she so richly deserves.

This mentions the Death Row Unit for Women:

Yes they are. Can't figure why they idolize a killer. Can't figure out how they think she is innocent. And most think its a game of winning and losing. It's about justice.

Someone just posted this over on BK's page, thought I'd share here since it had been awhile since I'd seen it.

What? You mean they're going to take the DP off the table? If the DA admits to misconduct, doesn't that mean it would be a mistrial?

Hang on! It hasn't happened yet! One thing we know about this trial is that we never know what's going to happen next. This was a guess based on the names on the witness lists I think.

But if it does happen, lots of us will be right there with you.

Oh. I don't think so. Heaven forbid. That is just JA fan clubs hope. Nurmi is just throwing everything at the wall.
