I've been thinking about the question I'm going to ask for a while.
The reason I've waited is because I feel uncomfortable since my question may have been discussed and addressed already.
I've tried to see if I could find any information and was unable to. Evidently, there are lots of information members can obtain simply by entering a Google search. The settings on my computer do not allow access to certain sites.
I've seen some posts suggesting that certain issues are discussed far too much and members have been directed to do research prior to asking a question or discussing an issue.
I'm going to ask anyway hoping that members will be patient with me.
Isn't JA showing remorse a part of this phase?
Can Mr. Martinez focus on the fact that JA has not shown one iota of remorse? In fact she has done the opposite, vilifying Travis every chance that she gets.
Even though I have done lots of reading; especially by the attorneys here on this board, (many thanks btw

) for some reason I cannot understand all the legalities regarding the penalty portion of this crime.
I'm usually fairly good when it comes to reading comprehension. I read at least one book a week.
One day I was so confused I actually forgot that the Judge is the person that ultimately decides the convicted killers fate.
The way I understand it, is that the jury deliberates if the death penalty is an appropriate sentence.
If all 12 agree that the DP is the appropriate sentence; then why does is the judge permitted to decide DP, LWOP or LWP? Is this just an AZ law or a death penalty state law across all of the states that have the DP, or does it differ?
:shame::doh: I apologize in advance for being a pita poster and grammatically challenged.
