Well, Jodi did tell Detective Flores in her initial interview that she was worried about her reputation. Should've thought about that before acting, Jodi!!!He did say that:
First of all, she would appeal even if she didn't get the DP. Nor does Nurmi argue about the "case', but, rather, their "representation". Hmmmm. Fact is, they have been scrutinised from the beginning, it's a given, and of course, it will continue. If the argument is simply about appeals, then Nurmi is playing to the judge's fears, nothing more. And most importantly, is that not one of the reasons why the 1st amendment is there- to invite and encourage scrutiny?
I think it is indeed about the DT and how they look. And whatever the murderer was saying was probably shocking, and probably involved smearing her family, and I guess the family doesn't want her lies getting out, either. So it's about the reputations of all involved with the DT, IMO (nor do I believe the judge will unseal this for years after the trial).
What I find even more stunning is that the judge even sealed her reasoning for denying the motion!
Now the world thinks of her as a bad Mormon, a liar, a sex addict, self-obsessed, a stalker, and a convicted psycho killer. An earned reputation.
