Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - Day 21

[geevee]

From WAT:

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial · now


I guess Flores is on trial for accidentally overwriting TA's pirated copy of Who Let The Dogs Out #jodiarias

Heh heh heh I needed that.

I guess I was overly optimistic when I heard there would be a ruling on taking DP off the table/Prosecutorial Misconduct. I expected either the trial to end today (ruling in favor of the DT's motion/s) or for it to continue (ruling in favor of the State), not some amalgamation thereof. So disappointed that the judge has allowed the mitigation/sentencing phase to become something other than a sentencing phase--if I understand correctly thes issues related to the guilt phase are to be addressed in appeals. I cannot imagine what the jury is thinking about this testimony--they have to be very confused at this point. Honestly, I am so over all of this.

JSS exhibits passive aggressive behavior

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive-aggressive_behavior
Passive-aggressive behavior is the indirect expression of hostility, such as through procrastination, sarcasm, stubbornness, sullenness, or deliberate or repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is (often explicitly) responsible.

I have the same recollection, but it is founded upon trial report by tweet -- so who knows?

Bk said in her notes JSS would rule on all today.

 

[geevee]

Whatever the judge ruled we probably won't find out until later when it is filed. Perhaps that's why people are assuming there's no decision even if there has been.

One of the tweeters said it looked like the judge allowed JA to look over paperwork, maybe she knows and no one else does. Who really knows with this 'don't tell them' trial anymore.

 

[mydirtysecret]

"Pending the outcome on the supreme court stay I will release the transcripts immediately if the stay is denied" 1 week later..

"I will rule on the motion «by» Monday" Monday, no ruling yet.

I am thinking jss lives in a world where her perception of time is vastly different than everyonev else's.

Willmott is now questioning Det. Flores about the day he took out the computer for evidence for #JuanMartinez and #JodiArias lawyers #abc15

#jodiarias Det. Flores says no reason to alert anyone he had awakened computer and inadvertently overwritten files.

Oh for Pete's sake, there is a difference between a computer coming out of sleep-mode and a computer being turned on--it's not like Flores woke the computer and played a few hands of solitaire on it. If the DT is insinuating that Flores did not follow procedure and is the cause of them not finding "all of the "-- then this trial is officially off the rails.

 

[Truth Detector]

I'm changing my mind.

Because this testimony clearly points to DT attempting to prove prosecutorial misconduct -- I don't think it has any other obvious relevance -- JSKS hasn't yet decided how she'll rule on the motion.

 

[ILikeToBendPages]

Maybe JSS wanted more testimony on the record before she makes or released her decision?

 

[Wolfpack Fan]

If Flores did something to the crime scene that would have affected the verdict, like put her palm print in blood on the wall, put pictures from a previous date on Travis's camera and change the date so it would look like Jodi was there that day, etc. I could see why this would matter. The , even if he had had hundreds of pornographic pictures on his computer, has nothing to do with whether the mitigating factors outweigh what Jodi did. This judge is letting the defense bring everything in, even though we are already in the sentencing phase. I don't trust what she's going to do about the death penalty. I've tried to understand the difficulty of the decisions she has to make, but I'm about to give up on her.

'Xactly. Sounds like a denial but the judge, for whatever reason, has stopped announcing these things publicly.

#jodiarias defense to Det.. Flores: "you never said you called computer forensics because you needed help, did you?" "No."

 

[Hope4More]

Melendez was the forensics guy sent to crime scene. Wilmott bashing Flores for not correcting MM's report that the word used was inadvertent rather than deliberate for waking up.

Flores says he might have called computer forensics on 6/19/09, but he's not sure. #jodiarias

Willmott grills Flores on what he testified to--or rather, did not-- regarding whether he called forensics before viewing computer w defense

JSS has already heard all of this.

 

[MeeBee]

Ok, if this is the direction they're going, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Maria Schaffer again...ugh.

 

[Sweet Fox]

NOTHING ... NADA ...

JMO but I really think that we will NEVER EVER see that super secret Transcript !

:moo:

I'm incline to agree with you. KN with this judge's help will not let the public have access to the secret transcript.

 

[Amster]

Maybe JSS wanted more testimony on the record before she makes or released her decision?

But why in front of the jury? They don't have anything to do with deciding the motion....unless....Sherry has decided to ask them what they think she should do? :facepalm:

 

[Charterhouse]

I think there is more of a chance Jss did not rule at all than that she ruled to remove the DP. JMO
