I'm in bed with the flu, trying to follow on my phone. I can't tell from the tweets when the jury left. Affidavits are often allowed in mitigation but not on irrelevant subjects like what the witnesses thought of the guilt phase.

I hope you are on the mend soon! The jury heard testimony for about 50 minutes after the lunch break.

GOOD! If sherry knows that, then they should all be in file 13.

Nurmi says the fear of repraisals is relevant to the statement itself. Gives credibility. #JodiArias

 

[Nosey Parker]

Aww, I'm in bed with the flu too. I am miserable. Hope you feel better soon AZL. I am sick over this craziness, the Arizona courtroom has gone mad.

Aww, you too, Frigga. Hope you recover quickly. Watching this travesty is probably not good healing. Here, put this :chicken: in the pot.

Nurmi says Juan said they could bring in affidavits and now he's wanting most of it stricken #jodiarias #3tvarias

So the only folks willing to pipe up at all to save her skin are those who have never met her in person, and who hadn't even heard of her until she was on trial for murder.

For all we know, the affidavits came from inmates who met JA through "Love Knows No Bars" dating site.

 

[WhoaIsMe]

This must fall under " other remedies" talked about in JSS ruling. I had expected the affidavits and Juan being unable to cross. Did not expect Geff reading them or testifying to them in court like The Nut Wisperer

Willmott now up to give her reasons based on specific paragraphs. I hope she's not going one by one, cuz that'll take another 30 minutes.

Nurmi is saying Juan is asking the Judge to preclude mitigation,

no he wants to preclude liars and lies make them come to court if they wan to help poor Jodi

Umm, Nurmi, unchallenged lies are NOT evidence!

Lots of healing vibes and comforting soup for those of you who are sick...

And lots of hugs and hope for those who are disheartened by this revolting testimony...

BBM. Uh, NO!!! I'm gonna lie and fear you beat me up for it does not make it credible.

Feel better soon, AZL.

IS there a legal basis? Has ANYONE ever tried all this? This may be completely unchartered territory for JSS?

 

[Love Never Fails]

Frigga and Angelwings, hope you feel better soon too. Also prayed for you both. There is a lot of flu and strep throat in our neck of the woods. Unfortunately.

 

[MeeBee]

The jury is not in right now and Geffner has not read these yet. I think Geff wanted to reference them and Juan decided to take this opportunity to make all his objections to the affidavits. It would be outrageous if these people got to give their opinions on the "witch hunt" of a trial and whether the Alexanders should just give up. That is not mitigation. The mitigation would have been the part where he said he could never imagine Jodi doing this but "she must have been brain washed" is just an opinion on her motivation. He's not qualified to say that (probably Darryl).

 

[Truth Detector]

Time to show the autopsy photos again.

JM can show how deliberate and exacting the wounds were in response to the "brainwashed JA" affidavit.

 

[Mindmatters]

If the judge allows Geffner to read other people's affidavits that are "too scared" to testify, I seriously might throw my iPad through the window.

You and me both. Surely not? This is the biggest farce I have ever seen. So, essentially in name of the defendant's right to a fair trial--Dr. Geffner will be testifying to something a reported lunatic from Australia has said without the benefit of being cross-examined????

I am speechless and disheartened. My thoughts are a bit all over the place right now but one thing I am fairly certain of;
This trial has managed to convince me that Lady Justice no longer wears a blindfold, and what is happening in this courtroom does absolutely nothing to serve American Truth and Justice as I know it.
