Two jurors who made it through four months of the #jodiarias retrial were just excused, one in tears.
Two alternates remain.

Court logistically preparing for verdict watch. Anticipating a lot of activity.
The final chapter (of this saga) is upon us! #jodiarias

This is all JSS's fault. IMO.

Seems the sneaky defense is winning so JA is smiling.

JA is mentally ill though. She smiled during her cross examination with JM. Well she did until she started pouting.

Sounds like #12 might not be a great loss...

 

[KathrynL]

Per BK's rundown of #12, he was not a fan of the DP except for serial killers and maybe premeditated killers. #5 had a daughter with legal troubles and addiction to painkillers. Sounds like neither would have been good for the PT, imo.

Lots of intrigue continues to fill court room-two jurors booted this morning-

14 left-remaining jurors excused til 1:30 #jodiarias #3tvarias

Beth is saying (paraphrased lamby!)

#5 is divorced, daughter arrested for fraudulent check and addicted to script drugs (following injury)... didn't have a strong opinion

#12, ok giving life and was supportive of death as youth BUT LIKE PREVIOUS FOREMAN "death penalty reserved for serial killers!!! :thud: :thud: :thud:

well yay! Might be a blessing in disguise!

 

[Amster]

Things are working out exactly as Jodi and her puppets planned it. Thanks, Sherry.

Juror #5 was middle aged female. #jodiarias

Cathy ‏@courtchatter · 6m6 minutes ago
Juror #12 was male. #jodiarias

Older male not fond of DP except serial killers... I wonder if Juan got to pick one since Nurmi did?

 

[tlckgram]

Based on what BK says about the 2 dismissed ones, I really don't think the DT made a "score". JA is smiling because she has absolutely no idea how bad this is for her. She only thinks she "won" a skirmish. Off Base

Doesn't sound like a great win for the defense.

Wonder if #12 was excused at JM's request to balance with the exit of #5? I don't guess that is allowed though...

I agree on both. Yeah, supposedly her fan groupies were all happy earlier, but don't know how much they know about these jurors...probably wanting them all kicked out for a mistrial, and don't realize that ain't happening?

@TrialDiariesJ: I would watch juror 12 come and go from lunch as we all waited around. He was very much a loner. Always wore head phones #jodiarias

You were righ Deb. 12 was the loner.

 

[Nosey Parker]

Tweeters said he was upbeat this AM. I'm gonna believe it's all good.

Perhaps it was at Juan's request? The Alexanders could still be disappointed at having to lose jurors

 

[Tiki]

BK last post, jury is out but not lawyers. at sidebar

This is all JSS's fault. IMO.

:seeya: I totally agree !

She has given JA and her DT just about everything they asked for ... but the buck stops with JSS !

:moo:

 

[Love Never Fails]

Maybe rumors of no witnesses were only rumors. This appears to have been all about those two jurors. The end is so near. BK reported that Jodi did turn and look at her supporters and smiled. I hope these jurors can come to a conclusion this week, it has been too long.

 

[sumbunny]

~L~ I somehow suspect Nurmi may have realized those two may not vote DP, and had them ejected.

His statement about hating JA rings true

 

[bettybaby00]

Per BK juror #12 was the male who was for the DP when young, now believes the DP should be used for serial killers and premeditated murder,grew up in a strict household, and was a jury foreman on a case where the defendant was found "not guilty" on drug case 20 years ago in Maricopa County

But IT IS PREMEDITATED murder!!!!! And determined to be especially cruel. It's probably good he's gone.
