Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - Day 38

[wendiesan]

JA is just setting up a reason to appeal. IMO

 

[ziggy]

JSS says she is waiting for final draft of jury instructions. Janet says it's not ready yet - 15 minute recess.

So Jodi is arguing the law with the judge? In front of the jury? I'm assuming she is doing herself no favors with them.

lol im waiting for a house to drop on Jodi lol

JSS tells Jodi she may not testify in a sealed proceeding per Supreme Court.

Jodi says the ruling said her testimony cannot be sealed by JA says her allocation is not testimony.

hahahahaha....I find this funny, sorry. Wordsmith in action confronting JSS directly.

 

[GigiG]

Totally Agree.

What really bothers me is even if JA gets the DP, I feel very strongly that because of how this trial was run, there was a HUGE PRICE that was NEEDLESSLY paid by many people.

It did NOT have to go down like this. Many other trials do not require all these people below to pay such a huge price.
- Taxpayers (due to obsene length of this trial....Can we say "sidebar")
- Travis Reputation (bogus child , bogus volumes of viewing, etc)
- Juans Reputation (lying about prosecurial misconducct)
- Floris Reputation (openly cutting him down in front of jury)
- Fores wife's reputation (dragging her through the mud)

A different overseer of this trial would have at a minimum required the DT to have at least a teeny tiny hint of some evidence to support such outlandash allegations.
With this trial, the DT was allowed to sling it all out there and Juan did try to object many times and was shot down.

Add to that, almost every prosecution witness.

Tell me she is not arguing with JSS in front of the jury!!!!!??!

heck YA she is!!!!! That'll go over well with the jury! ~not~

 

[ZsaZsa]

Hilarious! She'll "gently" explain everything to the jury over pizza and cokes. Followed by a photo op and autograph session. lolol

You're laughing now, but she probably has an interview or two lined up, just like last time!

Is the jury in during this?

recess for 15 minutes while they finalize jury instructions. Then we'll apparently talk about them.

 

[Mindmatters]

The Judge asks her is she's taken any medication today? JA: no
JSS sounds surprised and a little ticked.

GAWD what a manipulative, worthless, sorry PODS JA is. Scheming for her appeal! I hope somewhere down the road she slapped down for exploiting the court system as she has so obviously done in this retrial

 

[MeeBee]

I can't believe it's over.

Stephens tells the jury to return tomorrow at 9:30 for

jury instructions and closing arguments in #jodiarias

 

[ziggy]

JM asks to approach.

The Q JSS asked JA was if the reasons she did not want to allocute were the same as in October 2014 (presumably when she argued to testify in secret session). She answered yes.

 

[~Lyric~]

Tell me she is not arguing with JSS in front of the jury!!!!!??!

I hope she is arguing in front of the jury, they will see exactly who she is and the not taking her meds, that is a ploy for the jury.... oh this little girl is sick. She needs medication. pfffft

From Kiefer:

Michael Kiefer @michaelbkiefer · 3m 3 minutes ago

Stephens addresses #jodiarias. Stephens says her attorneys say she does not want to allocute. Arias says that is not correct. She wants to.

Michael Kiefer @michaelbkiefer · 3m 3 minutes ago

#jodiarias says she wants the courtroom cleared. Stephens says the court will not allow that. She says she will send the public to overflow.

Michael Kiefer @michaelbkiefer · 2m 2 minutes ago

#jodiArias says she will not allocute under those conditions. Sidebar.

Michael Kiefer @michaelbkiefer · 2m 2 minutes ago

Stephens: "You cannot allocute in a closed hearing."

Michael Kiefer @michaelbkiefer · 2m 2 minutes ago

Arias says she will not allocute under those conditions. Stephens says it is her chance to beg for mercy, show remorse, explain the crime.

Such a weak, non-assertive little lady...

 

[hindsight2020]

Killer may as well ask for a room at the Ritz Carlton and allocute from there, pffft, the gall.
