Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - Day 4

[MeeBee]

A judge can't really say,"stop objecting"--due process of law and all that. However, I have seen judges say (while the jury is out), "Don't you see that the jury thinks you're hiding something? My advice is to keep the objections to a minimum," or, "Look, here's what hearsay means: [explains rule]. Please don't object again unless it fits within that definition."

Yes just logically speaking, if I was a juror and one side kept hopping up and objecting every time the other side brought something up, I would think the objecting side had something to hide or really didn't want something bad to come in, even if that wasn't the case.

No video of past testimony? So Jodi lying on the stand won't be shown!!? How are previous testimony that not relevant? Ugh I'm beyond through with this retrial. I don't even want to keep up with it anymore.

She is evil, no question about that.

That is why I think the jury needs to know that she threatened Juan. It shows she is still dangerous.

Keeping all of this and all the misconduct she has done since being jailed from the jury is ridiculous imo.

In every DP case I have seen before this one the Prosecutor was allowed to bring in any and all negative conduct of the inmate at the sentencing phase. Someone from the jail always testifies to the infractions and misconduct the inmate has done...........yet in this case Juan isn't even allowed to show she has absolutely no remorse when he has plenty of evidence to back that up.

And I have seen the DA use witnesses that even knew the defendant in the past that was allowed to testify what the defendant had done bad acts when they were growing up.

IMO

#jodiarias and willmott sit close and chat a bit. Nurmi sips water and listens. The call continues. Jodi is now crying on the call.

Flores is asking #jodiarias if anyone was out to get him. She prattles on about a friend TA owed money too.

 

[AZlawyer]

BBM. How can there be a hearsay issue now when DB's statements were originally offered in court?

It depends on how you interpret the phrase "current trial or hearing" in the rule. However, I assume the judge (correctly IMO) determined the statements not to be hearsay, because JM was allowed to use the transcript.

I felt the same way when Nurmi started his shenanigans this morning, but I'm still here. The proverbial battle of 'good over evil' - hard to resist.

Not if you surprise him by shoving a knife in the middle of his chest in the shower..................

 

[Amster]

Watched a lot of death penalty trials......never, ever have seen a judge so intent on preventing an "error" and causing a mistrial or reversal. Hopefully, someone who decides these things will make sure this is her last DP case.

@TrialDiariesJ: Detective Flores asks #jodiarias about the check she left Travis and what the deal was with the car...the one she ruined #3tvarias

@NancyGraceHLN: Flores tells #JodiArias they are now investigating the murder as a homicide. She says Travis did owe people money....

 

[LinTX]

Sorry to burst your bubble but Nurmi won on case law on this one point. He's not running the courtroom, though he is trying to disrupt where he can.

Can you quote the law he used? Be interested to see it since this phase doesn't have the same rules of evidence.

Great! Do you have an idea why the video wasn't allowed then? Thanks for answering all of our questions! :loveyou:
