Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - 12/05-08 In recess

[bsk]

The Alexander family has standing in the trial. Is there any mechanism for them to try to get someone to step in here? It's quite obvious that JSS has cracked under the pressure. KN and the defense witnesses are ignoring her orders with impunity, and they are more than content to stretch this out however long it takes to lose four more jurors. The longer it goes, the higher the mistrial odds are, and the more money they make. What's not to love? If JSS absolutely refuses to enforce any of her rulings, the only question is how long it takes and how many more millions of taxpayer dollars before the guaranteed mistrial comes.

And the IRONY [ iorny] is that if she had just kept her mouth shut the public would have never learned about the skeletons in her closet. But all the endless chatter forced their hand. :worms:

Her endless chatter forced their hand? Forced to reveal the skeletons in her closet? This wasn't done out of necessity. It was done out of spite.

I am not sure it's rock solid...but pretty solid nonetheless.

I do not know how could play into a successful appeal. I just can't see it. Not to say it isn't possible but to me it does not look probable. The , be it a viable issue or not, has nothing to do with her being guilty of a cruel premeditated murder. I am not going to worry about this conviction being overturned until it actually happens. And the possibility is so remote and even then so far into the future that I doubt it will even make headlines. Jodi who??

In her initial trial she claimed that the reason TA attacked HER was that she knew he was looking at child and so she had to suddenly defend herself from his assault. And the jury was told there was zero found. Now if they can show that there was in fact, hundreds or thousands of 'hits', then her DT can argue that the jury would have possibly believed her initial defense. I am afraid this is what they are aiming for with all of this BS now.

Bad check is one written on closed account a possible attempt at fraud.Not a bounced check where bad math skills may be a factor.

 

[LinasK]

Per BK. One of the 3 witnesses refused to write an affadavit. One hasn't responded. All 3 "refuse to participate." And one will only testify if the media is kicked out.

What a joke.

I'm guessing Marc McGee is the next secret witness. So did Gayla L. refuse to write an affadavit or not respond??? I'm guessing she realizes now she didn't know Jodi as well as she thought and won't testify to how sweet and innocent she is. Maybe Bobby or Matt or Darryl didn't respond.

The booking sheet online looked like the excommunicated juror's arrest was for issuing a bad check on November 28. Are we to believe she issued that check eight years ago and is first going to court for it in January? That sounds ridiculous. What am I missing in this story? Why on earth would there be a warrant issued NOW for a crime committed in 2006? WTH?

I thought he was let go because when he was arrested he revealed that he was on the JA jury to the cops?

She is saying she did tell the court about the arrest and they were fine with it. It was only when the court appearance and the schedule conflict came up that they let her go. Maybe, in the end, it was just a combination of things. Maybe they didn't want it to become more of an issue than it was. Or maybe she's not being truthful...

She told the Court and they were fine with it so I think there's more that we don't know. Also keep in mind that just because someone was arrested does not necessarily mean they're guilty.

I'm not going to prejudge her but I'm glad she is gone. There's much too much drama already, we don't need more.

She says she let them know if her questionnaire. That is probably true. They are asked to disclose these things.

SW is the one who broke the news. She gave an interview last week that was somewhat neutral and this didn't come out. Not five minutes after her more opinionated interview tonight and SW breaks the news. The trial people reported the know for a fact MDLR was hanging out in there. The trial talk also people may have had her name but they'd be the only ones other than the DT because she's never revealed it publicly and the state and they never gave a last name. The court, as we all know, have been cautious about keeping everything about everything under tight seal. It's suspicious, is all, that the report didn't come from a savvy reporter but from a crazed JA supporter who has been known to have personal contact with members of the DT.

Well, the court needs to find out how this information was leaked. Everything has been so hush hush. If I were a reporter, I would find out who the source was and go after them. THAT would make headlines. If it was in fact, MDLR again, then she should be booted (like that would ever happen.)

That only works if they've found child , which they clearly haven't.

 

[LinasK]

Can they continue the trial until next year in lieu of declaring a mis-trial?

Why not? The jurors have that extra time now to do their Christmas shopping and prepare for the holidays...

They were fine with it until she got arrested and was scheduled for a court date. Too much baggage with her so bye bye.

Agree. Doesn't make sense.

Something doesn't quite smell right.

Do not forget the crime scene. She killed him three times over! No way would any jury have believed self defense, even if they thought he might have attacked her for that or any other reason. The crime scene description and photos are part of the record and that speaks volumes.

My son is at jury duty today. He didn't want to go, had to miss work, and has college finals next week. But, he is there because he has to be there and it's his civic duty. Later this week, he MUST appear in court, he was a victim of a crime months and months ago. He doesn't want to go, would like the case to go away, but the DA has issued a subpoena every singe time the case comes close to being heard. The guy who threw stuff at moving cars, my son and others car from a bridge, keeps postponing the case. Yet, our DA makes sure my son receives a subpoena every time it is postponed, and my son is the VICTIM! Nurmi needs to get his chit together, it really isn't difficult to get a witness to appear. JMO

(BTW - the thought did cross my mind that my son was brought into jury duty for his own case that will be later in this week, wouldn't that be something?)

I was subpoeanaed(sp?) for Jury Duty in Oct. and wasn't able to get out of it in writing, but the judge did excuse me for personal reasons when I got down to the court house. We saw the defendant. He looked scary- was a murder trial. I couldn't have been open-minded even though I hadn't heard of the case.

 

[Meemaw12]

She wrote the bad check in 2006 and was arrested on a warrant over thanksgiving. She let the court know on her questionnaire about the check. She now has a court date. That's what prompted the removal. Juan and the defense probably both wanted her gone.

SW broke the news.

Who is SW

Thank You

:seeya:

BBM: Just had a thought after reading your post:

Could it be that Michael Kiefer released the info about Juror #3 and the bad check ?

After all, he IS a member of the defense team

:gaah:

 

[LinasK]

I really doubt it. Or she must be committing career suicide. She's just being way too cautious and lenient.

That's what I think even though I'm in the minority here. Tired of all the JSS bashing. The delays are the fault of the defense, noone else. Jodi could testify if she really wanted to. She's the one it's all a game to, a manipulation game. Well if everyone wants to see me testify, I won't let them!!!

I guess I am just nervous because of the Phylicia Barnes GUILTY verdict against her killer being overturned. The RETRIAL happening now due to an issue with one of the witnesses. Something was not revealed to the jury and so it was scrapped. DO OVER. It makes me nervous to think about it.

Maybe they had been looking for juror # 3 for the bad check and hadn't been able to locate her? She would be pretty easy to find, as a juror. At least they'd know where she was 1 day a week!

I would think it would have had to be a pretty big amount for the cops to still have the bit between their teeth over it. Maybe she did own up to it and that got her flagged.
