ICit, are you saying that if JA throws a tantrum because of the denied Stay and refuses to testify any further that the testimony she has already given will be stricken from the RECORDED record?

That is what I think. But who really can guess with this crazy trial!

After being b*tchslapped by the Supreme Court, #JodiArias judge relents and orders release of "secret" testimony.

The transcript of the #JodiArias secret is 400 pages. 400 pages.

A novel if you will. Book reviewers call it a wonderful work of fiction.



:hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:
 
That's weird. Why am I remembering that there was additional testimony on Monday before the stay came in, where the media had to hang out in the hall way? Didn't she get to testify after the COA hearing a little bit then?

Yes MeeBee, she was on the stand for a while that afternoon. I remember 100% that court was interrupted that afternoon when the COA ruling came down.
 
:rollercoaster:

I love that emo... Mr Toad's wild ride- for sure!

I hope Perryville has talks given by mental health professionals, periodically, for their staff and guards. They are going to need to be updated with new material for when the likes of Jodi Ann Arias arrives.

Kidding... sort of.
 
Thanks DogGoneCute- for keeping us fully informed on the actual court dates and times for trial and testimony. It is appreciated.
 
Hey everyone, good morning :-) Could someone tell me how is a mitigation specialist chosen? This one for this trial seems so very unprofessional, from her behavior to the clothes she wears for court. She seems to fit right in with nurmi, so I'm wondering did he choose her, like he did his expert witnesses?

First and foremost you must be Cougarlicious.

Just talked to county clerks office…transcripts are not ready. Even if they were filed this morning wouldn't get em till Monday. #jodiarias
 
No. Nov. 3 there was no court in AM. Attys went to argue at COA, were gone between 9ish and were on way back at 11:30. The stay came at 2:30 that same day. If she testified it could only have been after lunch till 2:30ish.

Since it was ONLY 400 pages, I tend to think that JA testified for only 15 minutes tops. :smile:
 
Amazed at how the court of Sherry can just blatantly ignore a Supreme court order! Are they all mesmerized by JA? Can a judge be tossed in jail for contempt?
 
A couple of people have brought up some interesting ideas...

* If Laurence moves to have all of JA's 'secret' testimony struck and the judge grants it, does she also then squash releasing the transcripts of it?

* Will all the remaining JA witnesses also demand no cameras and hidden identities? Now that JSS has stepped into that quagmire, you could see that coming too.

This is what I love about WS - many heads are better than one. Great thoughts!!

grammie, a list of qualified mitigation specialists is given to all death qualified attorneys and the lead attorney for each case chooses one from that list.

I agree She's purposely delaying the transcript release. But I can't figure out WHY?
Is there anyone else Nurmi can appeal to? Or is it a done deal?

See, this is what I've been wondering too. Who has the finale say, where does it stop. There has to be someone who can say no more, get on with this trial!
 
Unfortunately the judge had had the cameras turned off(as in not recording for eventual release)... apparently in her mind(after the media questioned it), just recording the audio will allow us to eventually see the live demonstrations that "Smith" did onscreen in court today.:/ I understand him not wanting to be seen on the stand, people that do undercover(hacking) work don't like to be exposed, but that's no reason, imo, to permanently lock out the visuals of what was being displayed for its worth to the jury.

Edit: Ugh, sorry for repeating what others have already stated, I really need to start at the end and work backwards before posting.
BBM <---And that's why they shouldn't be called to testify as an expert witness. The defense is supposed to hire witnesses that can testify and whose credentials are known and accredited... experts IOW. If this was the only witness they had that knew anything and couldn't put him on the stand in open court, JSS should have told them it wasn't going to happen. Secret witnesses, secret testimony, secret sidebars, secret motions and secret rulings, and now secret identify & credentials for an "expert". Wonder if the jury will be able to divulge the sentence, if and when they ever get a chance to deliberate?
