Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - Day 38

[rose222]

I remember Judge Perry openly talking about the trial schedule. We knew what to expect. This Judge treats the public as though they were invisible. We have no idea what will happen today, when the closing arguments will be presented etc. :gaah: :shame:

@jeffgoldesq: "@BethKaras: There are now nine women and five men on the #jodiarias jury."

That's still a pretty good ratio of men to women.

There are now nine women and five men on the #jodiarias jury.

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

Three to go and JA cheats the hangman needle.

That was dumb. And looks like they would have both given death. This sucks.

Jury is coming in now, so the tweeters will know who is missing. I suspect DT wanted the psychologist's daughter out.

What juror # was she?

 

[ShadyLady]

:seeya: I totally agree !

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

:moo:

I just have never seen any concern for the jury. This trial should have never gone past the holidays. It's a miracle they are hanging on with how they have been treated.

How does MDLR hear these things? Bionic ears?

Very often, symptoms of personality disorders are evident by teens and early adulthood. They *can* manifest later but it isn't as common. Still, some people go literally decades before being diagnosed if they are at all. There's a large spectrum in personality disorders - some people are relatively functional for a long time and others have their lives imploding so much so they're forced to get help.

I really can't fault Bill and Sandy for what I'm guilty of myself. Ignorance, love, hope. When you don't know that someone you love is personality disordered you're literally racking your brain trying to explain their actions and behaviors. And when that loved one is subjecting you to near constant psychological abuse, it's very difficult to maintain perspective. You find yourself enabling them and rationalizing their behavior, caught on a roller coaster of ups and downs, without knowing how you got there or how to get off the ride.

I'm there with my teen daughter right now. Because her dad is personality disordered, and there is some research to suggest there *may* be a genetic link, I'm hyper-sensitive to any traits she displays that may be consistent with PD. Unfortunately, that's exactly where we're at now - she's displaying a lot of borderline symptoms. So, back to counseling we go. But we're only there because I know what to look for and her dad was dx'd. If there wasn't that history, I'm not sure how much I would chalk up to 'normal' teenage drama since, even knowing what I know, I hope and pray I'm wrong on my suspicions and it is indeed just normal teenage drama. I'm not Bill or Sandy but I do understand how scary it is to have a teen in a full on rage and threatening their sibling; I do understand the hurt and confusion that no matter how much you love them and no matter what you do for them, it never seems to be enough for them to feel loved; I do understand the pain and anger of being manipulated, lied to, and verbally abused by your own child. And unfortunately, I do absolutely understand the revolving ride of being hopeful when she's happy or behaving 'normally' and hopeless when she's not.

It's a really yucky place for a parent to be.

JMO and FWIW

You seem like such a good mom, Britskate, and I can hear your empathy and understanding.

IMO, even if Jodi's parents had gone for help for their daughter, Jodi would not have complied with treatment. Plus, by her early twenties (and certainly after McCartney pointed it out), it was on Jodi to get the help she needed. Any kind of intervention, however minor, might have diverted this sick "train" that was bound to cause a serious "train wreck."

well yay! Might be a blessing in disguise!

I hope this is true, I certainly think that #12 is a gamble and probably good riddance. Maybe the Alexander's were reported to be upset because of the fact that they are losing more jurors.

 

[atthelake]

Beth is saying that the jury panel now 9 women/5 men FYI

 

[Mindmatters]

BK: Jury panel is now 9 women and 5 men

 

[LinTX]

Praying that the remaining 14 can make it just a few more days...hang in there guys, it's almost over!

I don't think so.

 

[sumbunny]

I have faith the remaining jurors feel exactly the same way.

Seriously?! Then they can't be the only ones that feel that way!

No way that happened imo.
