They've just taken a break. I'm going to see what I can do with presenting the morning's tweets from a bunch of reporters. BBL

Strange watching Jodi Arias' face as juror after juror say they could not be impartial.

... Tweets like this are going to drive me crazy! What's strange about it???? Details, please.

A juror can get up to $300 per day, if that's what he/she would normally earn per day. I imagine they have to prove it: bring in a pay stub or something.

Thank - you!

This makes more sense than what I thought - I was under the impression they were just given $300 a day :doh:

@TrialDiariesJ: One juror needs to get eyeball injections! [emoji85][emoji102] #jodiarias

Someone needs to tell that juror the injections won't erase the memory of how she left Travis.

When I was called to jury duty in Texas, I got $20/day and a parking validation slip. LOL

How long is this phase expected to take?

Thanks to everyone posting tweets. Yes, I knowi can follow on Twitter without an account but it's much easier to read them all here, with all the medias different perspectives all in one spot.

Sounds like many were excused. I hope they have enough to fill a jury coming? They might need to send out a few thousand more jury subpoenas. I'm surprised so many people want excused, I'd love to be on that jury.

Random tweet:

MaryEllen Resendez Just spoke 2former #JodiArias juror: seeing it all over the news is gut wrenching - same as when they were deliberating

 

[Nali87]

Am I the only one hoping for a walmart employee to make it to the jury? Lol.

@WildAboutTrial: Jurors being seated. Jodi is staring at me in the media room as they come in. She has her pouty face on. I think she winked. #jodiarias

Well that of course is the point.

Somehow I doubt she'll pass on taking the stand again, tho..that way or another, she'll reveal herself for who she really is.

I have always thought the gas in the cans were for more than just sneaking through AZ, undetected. I think little Miss may have planned to burn the house down, but thought better of it because of Napoleon or she didn't have time, or because of the room mates. I honestly think she had some type of fire in mind on her murder trip. That was a lot of gasoline.

I never even thought of that. I wouldn't put it past her. Maybe her clean-up was so sloppy because she didn't think it would be necessary and so hadn't planned it ahead of time. Burn house, destroy evidence. (From my understanding, though, successful arson is actually harder than it sounds.) If this was the plan, she probably thought: gas, match, buh-bye. But then why kill Travis? Why not just incapacitate him? (What a horrible thought. It reminds me of her weird comments to Det. Flores about how, if she were a murderer, which she's totally not, she'd be a "humane" murderer.) Maybe the slit throat and the gunshot were her "Plan B" once she decided against arson? Maybe she was planning to shoot the dog? She didn't kill Napoleon, as we know, but she wasn't especially concerned about his well-being. She left him at the mercy of the guys in Travis' house for crying out loud. They hardly seem like "housemates." They didn't pay much attention to Travis, how could she assume they'd pay attention to his dog? They must have given him some water, maybe poured some kibble in a dish. I have never left an animal without also leaving insanely detailed instructions with a qualified pet sitter. Well, I don't mind leaving cats alone for a day or so, but any longer than that? Sitter. Dogs don't do well alone, so mine get play-dates if I'm gone all day and a sitter if I'm gone overnight -- and they sure as hell never get chained up in the back yard. Jodi could have left Napoleon in a worse situation, or dead, but to just leave him for the "housemates" to either take care of or not pisses me off. This may have been among the least of her crimes, but still. Just one more reason to hate her.

We'll never know why she did what she did the way she did it. We do know that she loves all the speculation. She's the only person who knows what happened, she'll never tell, and no one would believe her if she did. She really needs to just go away, the sooner the better.

Nauseating. Can't wait to see that smirk slapped off her face and the chains put on , destination and last stop until death-Perryville.
