Maybe the defense decided since they were getting wiped out anyway that they might as well wrap and use that in their appeals: "We were forced to cut our case short because our client was unable to testify privately due to her fear of reprisal and the fact that our remaining witnesses won't even return our calls ever since the prosecutor blatantly violated the court's order by stating witness #1's name three times in open court. Not only did this misconduct put client #1's life in danger, it also puts Ms Arias's life in danger because she cannot fully present her mitigation. The solution is to remove the death penalty and sanction the prosecutor heavily. As an alternative, the court could remove the death penalty only."
