Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - 12/3 -12/04 In recess w/hearing

[mydirtysecret]

The rumor about JM & witnesses is untrue! Sorry to say. Take a peep on JM's support FB page.

The tweeter over a Beth Karas interview about JM's motion. Misheard, misreported.

What a shame. I would've loved if jm did subpoena the dt witnesses for them.

Excused Juror #3: said she has no opinion about JA; she can form her own opinion about what mental health pros say. Her boyfriend is a crim defense atty that she doesn’t discuss cases with. integrity is big issue to her#jodiArias

I read many posts speculating she was kicked off because of a juror question. I don't believe this juror would have compromised/jeopardized her position, unless she wanted out, begs the question, why was she let go? But anything is possible, the secrecy in this trial is beyond frustrating.

Remember a couple weeks back when one juror was late to court due to doctor appointment? She never did make it in that day. I wonder if it is the same juror and she was excused for medical reasons.

Monica states "if the witnesses refuse to comply with a subpoena then the defense's motion to remove death has merit and will become much stronger".

I guess Pros is SOL and swimming upstream according to Monica.

Here, a summons comes by first class mail while a subpoena is hand-delivered by a sheriff deputy. But that could be 'cause in this area of the world anything sent via FedEx takes the scenic route to your door.

Yes; the term is "process server".

Maybe the rumor will help Juan realize it really is a great idea.

I don't think so. Perhaps AZL will pop in and advise.

I think that the docket records service, in others words, when the subpoena has been served, it is reflected on the docket.

I'm tired right now and not up to researching things, so I can't remember the technical terms. Essentially, there are cross-jurisdictional agreements which allow a subpoena from one jurisdiction to be recognized and enforced by another. This is why so many of the process serving companies have nationwide service. Lucky me...I'm in New England with a civil/probate matter in Florida where the plaintiff has recently relocated to the West coast. If a suit has to be filed, papers from a Florida court will be served to the plaintiff in Washington state.

This may be old news to you all but it was new to me....BK explained that Juror#3 was NOT the middle aged juror in the front row that was discussed earlier today.

The tweeter overheard a Beth Karas interview about JM's motion rejecting dismissal of the DP. She misheard then misreported.

My guess is Monica.

Will we find out why? If so when?

IANAL but I will try to answer your question . . .

If you receive a subpoena you are court ordered to show up and testify (and if it says Deusus Tecum (sic?)- that means bring all your paperwork with you)
If you don't show up you could be in contempt of court.

The judge could order you to testify and if you refuse they do have the power to put you in jail for a limited time

Not sure what could happen if Jodi refuses to testify - the Judge could find her in contempt and then Sheriff Joe gets to deal with sanctions maybe?

IIRC AZL said that's alright, Juan can use her testimony from last year if she refuses.

Do y'all remember when Gus asked JSS what would happen if he didn't answer who was in the car with him? Told him she would order him to asked him if he had an attorney (upper level of Prepaid Legal and has no legal consul) and he said not right now or something like that. He fled Arizonia and didn't look back. He did his whatever from the state of California with

Fonseca- Yes it was unfair not to get all the info I could #jodiarias #3tvarias

If I'm a juror I just throw out anything she'd said.

If you've had the opportunity to experience orgasm you understand the bond between #jodiarias and Travis Alexander, says Dr. Fonseca.

Follow up question: Have you?

 

[Truth Detector]

Would subpoena show on the Maricopa docket website

No, almost certainly not.

 

[hindsight2020]

We don't know yet, everything is being done in secrecy. JSS did not give an explanation and it is unknown if the dismissed juror is able to speak to the media. Seems we are stuck in a holding pattern with this court withholding information.

 

[Hatfield]

The rumor showed us how the "Trial by Tweet" can cause inaccurate information to be given to the public. It is sad we can't see this trial for ourselves. I am glad we have what we have but still disappointed we can't see this trial.

We are getting what the tweeters feel important rather than what we feel is important.

There are so many nuances and facial expressions that help us understand things and we are missing all of that.

Oh well. Maybe the media still has time to file an appeal to get video back.

 

[mydirtysecret]

Interesting twist since the dismissed juror was in room during secret testimony. May not have to wait for that transcript. But I'll guess that jss has gagged her

 

[Ricki]

I want to know how the 'Dr' knew JA said she was puking after JA allegedly saw TA looking at kiddy . I don't recall that being brought up in the previous days. Then she wouldn't answer when Juan was trying to bring up that timeline. She certainly has a selective memory. I hope the jury caught on to that.

Apparently there will be an evidentiary hearing on Friday as well as the Thursday continuation hearing:

"While the jury will not be back in court until Monday, there are two evidentiary hearings this week -- one each on Thursday and Friday."

On Nurmi's latest DP dismissal motion?

This is the first I've also heard of a hearing on Friday, it's just been the one on Thursday.

 

[Hatfield]

One thing that I think JSS could do differently to dramatically help speed up this case is to immediately deny any of Nurmi's motions that deal with the original guilty verdict.

We are in sentencing phase only and it sure seems to me that most all of his court actions should be catagorized as an appeal against the original verdict and not related to this sentencing phase.

I may be wrong but it sure seems that way to me. JSS could begin to reject a lot of his actions and inform him to take them up on appeal of the original guilty verdict and not at this time.

On the weekend, one of our WS wrote about her thought that the timid witnesses are actually afraid of the prosecutor not rabid members of the public. It was a reasonable suspicion, many of us can agree with. (Tried to find her post with our search but nothing came up.) Naturally, the witnesses would be loath to admit this, maybe even to themselves.
