Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias #3

[krkrjx]

When I was a potential juror, I was asked if I was pro-LE. This was the defense attorney asking. I said neither pro nor anti. I stated I had seen good LE and bad LE. She asked if I had had a bad experience with LE and if so to explain. I stated I had, and explained the situation and went on to say some cops are just bad news but that did not make me see the entire profession negatively.

I also stated I worked in a legal office (it did not handle criminal cases, civil only) and gave the name of the office. Turned out, defense attorney's husband worked there and I knew him. Professionally, of course.

I also advised I was a single mom and would have to arrange for after-school child care if selected and that would be a hardship.

With all that...I was selected for the jury, which was for a drug dealing case that was to be concluded during normal working hours. But then, it wasn't. We did not get to the deliberations room until 1:30 the next morning.

My point: Where I live, you do not get out of jury duty unless you have a VERY good reason.

:giggle: some lamb. NOTHING at all lamb like or innocent about Arias. :lamb:

HA! A lamb, she's hardly a lamb, she's way too evil to be called something so cute. And how fitting, she has to wash and poop in the same place. That's perfect for her.

Hi, In Ohio too. you must be practically dead.:lol:

Oh yes, a lamb. A sacrificial animal. A martyr. Poor Jodi. She is in reality a killer and sometimes killers die. They die as punishment, not as sacrifice. Poor, misunderstood Jodi.

Killer, YOU are the one who does not understand.

Good... maybe she is getting a little taste of how Travis must have felt...

Yup, Travis was the one who was slaughtered. Maybe Jodi should get the Death Penalty by means of beheading and stabbing, then finished off with a gun shot!

So the way it seems to go with sealed records is that if it's anything about JA's witnesses or issues, they're sealed. But if the defense wants to accuse a detective's wife of something only claimed AFAIK by JA's fans? It's open record and reported by AZ Central....:thinking:

Hi LinTX, wouldn't that be hearsay? They sure don't give up easy! :happydance:

@maryellenabc15: St. Mary's Food Bank CEO says #JodiArias alleged donation came from Iowa & says its a shame their "good name is being used" #abc15

Alleged donation? Was it genuine? Confusing. Did this organization take the donation and keep it?

 

[krkrjx]

Hmmmm, interesting. The organization seems to be denouncing the giver while keeping the funds.

What's more interesting is that does not really bother me. I do not care if they keep the donation because charities need funding, no doubt about it. What I do care about is that they speak up about the source, as this one seems to be doing. Possibly. Maybe. If the report is true, I guess.

Would like to have seen St. Jude's take that step. And, IMO, it's not too late...

I think I smell desperation in the air...and more than a little BS.

Perhaps the giver didn't specify that it came from a charity for a convicted murderer. That would be my guess.

I think she's pretty much considered an expert on that now, isn't she?

 

[krkrjx]

Perhaps the giver didn't specify that it came from a charity for a convicted murderer. That would be my guess.

One report said the statement from St. Mary's CEO was that it was a shame their good name was being used. Nothing beyond that and it didn't name the CEO. So, I do not know how accurate the report is, if that was actually said or by whom, or if anything was actually said by anyone from the org.

RBBM:

This is absolutely outrageous for the DT and CMJA to make such allegations !

:thinking: They -- the DT and CMJA -- must be looking in the mirror !

Mr. Martinez and Detective Flores / wife would NOT do anything that would jeopardize this re-trial.


:seeya: And Thanks, YorN, for the updates !

 

[dog.gone.cute]

I just caught up from the portion I missed this afternoon ... so do I have this correct:

There are still NO potential jurors ... none ... nada ... zip ?

:thinking: Then obviously, something is wrong ... something is terribly wrong.

And please correct me IF I am wrong ... but from what I read, they were dropping like flies again today ...

:moo:
