[BetteDavisEyes]

I am following too many cases--- need more computer! michael Dunn, Heather Graham, JA jury selection, ......

Sure grateful for all the updates posted here and in retrial thread.

Keeping up with local (metro-Detroit and/or Michigan) cases is enough to stay busy on Websleuths

 

[YESorNO]

Just an website I subscribe to that has a good compilation of what has been going on this past year and thought others might want to read:

Jury Selection Begins - Jodi Arias Retrial

"...Do you mean to tell me that the media is responsible for Jodi Aria being found guilty? If the public and the media has that big of an influence on the outcome of trials, why was Casey Anthony acquitted? Why wasn't Arias sentenced to death? Has the Arias case gotten more media air time and attention than Scott Peterson, Drew Peterson, Casey Anthony or OJ Simpson's trials? These were the highest profile cases I can recall - and we can't forget the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray. All of these cases were televised, and Jodi Arias' trial should be no different...."

I agree with the post regarding Tweets from the courtroom - sure wish we could actually "see" what is going on in there... Oh well... :sigh:

Here's a few jokes from my recent Reader's Digest!

*While he was visiting, my father asked for the password to our Wi-Fi. "It's tape under the modem." I told him. After three failed attempts to log on, he asked, "Am I spelling this right? T-A-P-E-D-U-N-D-E-R-T-H-E-M-O-D-E-M?"

*One hard thing to explain to teens is how legitimately exciting it used to be when someone would wheel in an overhead projector?

*Did you know a bird is the only animal that you can throw and you'd be helping it?

*You know you're getting old when...
...you're more worried about what time the party ends than when it starts.
...you can't tell the difference between current band names and typos.
...all the names in your black book have MD after them.

*Our boss asked the new mail room guy to make three copies of an office key. The guy returned ten minutes later with the copies... which he'd made on the Xerox machine.

*A husband and wife had been married for 60 years and had no secrets except for one: the woman kept in her closet a shoe box that she forbade her husband from ever opening. But when she was on her deathbed--and with her blessing--he opened the box and found a crocheted doll and $95,000 in cash.
"My mother told me that the secret to a happy marriage was to never argue," she explained. "Instead, I should keep quiet and crochet a doll." Her husband was touched. Only one doll was in the box--that meant she'd been angry with him only once in 60 years. "But what about all this money?" he asked.
"Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from selling the dolls."

*After 12 years of therapy, my psychiatrist said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said, "No hablo Ingles."

*Life off the Grid
RadioShack has stayed in business with a name combining something no one buys anymore and a type of building no one wants to go into.

:seeya:

[Love Never Fails]

Hello everyone. Just catching up. wow.

Why am I not surprised that things did not seem to go so well. Yes, we are definitely in the JA retrial. LOL

Even though its just the start I already have some suggestions for the judge.

(1) - Please strengthen that backbone.

(2) - May want to get 1000 at a time instead of 100 at this rate.

(3) - Please make sure the potential jurors fully understand that guilt has already been established and this trial purpose is just to determine penalty. And please repeat that for each set of jurors entering the courtroom.

(4) - You may want to record yourself saying #3 so that all you have to do is hit "PLAY" when jurors come into courtroom.

(5) - Please clear your calendar for all of 2015 and ensure all attorneys have that year cleared as well.

(6) - Please inform JA that if she continues to give "the eye" to potential jurors that she may just rub someone the wrong way and she had better tell courtroom security to be ready to prevent that person from charging her to attempt to scratch her eyes out.

That is probably enough for today. After a few more days, I am sure there will be many more.

Hatfiled, ITA. Let's just pray that JSS reads WS and will take this advice seriously.

Hi Spellbound, would you believe the Micheal Dunn case is in closing already? They should give lessons to Arizona. This is also retrial!!:gaah:

agree! Amazed how fast an entire retrial can go when you work full days, every day, and even weekend!

(egads, still having typing issues on iPad, and when I thank or post, it goes real goofy today)

Yeah, all those defense sidebars we love to hate would be non-existent if they had to work Saturdays. :shame:

A way to sentence Jodi Arias and spare taxpayers

"...rather than redo the old trial why not select from among the thousands of qualified men and women in the Valley who followed it the first time? There is no question about Arias's guilt, after all, only on how severe her punishment is...."

-sounds good to me.

How are you feeling? Are you running yet?

no, no

Unfortunately, I had a set back on my operated hip - Last week I got from my chair and couldn't even stand on my leg (right-hip operated on)

It felt like I'd never had an operation!!?? The pain has eased quite a bit, but still hurts now and then. I've talked with the Surgery Nurse's assistant for my Dr., but she wasn't too helpful...

Haven't done any of my excercises (sp?) for the last few days to give it a rest. Will call my Dr., if it persists!

so, Bernina - no pony yet??

LOL! I had to watch this guy for a bit...

I think you should see your MD now- could be something really wrong? Take it easy. :therethere:

I like to watch this little guy eat his cookies (but he never asks if I would like one, tho' :floorlaugh: )

"...The shocking figure is dramatically higher than other high-profile cases. Casey Anthony's legal defense cost more than $275,000 - and taxpayers kicked in about $119,000 of that.
Mass-murderer Robert Stewart, who gunned down eight people in a North Carolina nursing home in 2009, cost the state $338,000 in defense costs - of which $229,000 went to his defense lawyers...."

Why is court dark today again? #jodiarias has a stylist coming to plan her wardrobe?

 

[T-4-2]

Is that the right video that you linked in the post above T-4-2? I was expecting Ellen D. and it was the Dolly Parton song again!

She's not a monster.

She's the Boogeyman. What we are all afraid is hiding under our beds ready to grab our ankles when we get up at night to use the bathroom.

:doh:
Thanks! Totally wrong video. Multi-tasking can be a dangerous thing. Let's try that again, shall we?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68EyF9U4olQ

The point I want to make with this clip, of course, is (in response to the fanboy who wants us all to listen to Jodi) that we did listen to Jodi -- we heard waaaaaay too much and listened to more than we needed -- and she really could not have made herself any clearer.

Ellen made this TV moment funny, of course, but it was also a brave, public declaration in support of equal rights. (Equality is equality, I don't think specifics much matter. Other blogs perhaps better suited for that particular discussion.)

In Jodi's case, imagine her leaning into her microphone and saying, simply, "I'm guilty." No lies, no equivocation, no pedo nonsense, no see my finger, no I'm a victim, no "quack quack here and a quack quack there, here a quack, there a quack, everywhere a quack quack" sex stories, just a simple, "I'm guilty." Once the cries of "NO SH** SHERLOCK" died down, the jury could go back to deliberate (long enough to read through the stuff they're required to read through, plus maybe a quick coffee/smoke/bathroom break so people will think they're wrestling with their consciences in an effort to reach a fair verdict), vote, return to the courtroom, say what they should have said last time. I think that might have been better.

Court is never darker than when Jodi is actually in it.

Maybe on the Fall 2014 season of "Here's Jodi," she's going with a "little match girl" theme?

Here's another video. Let's hope it's the right one. The first part is probably pretty close to how Jodi wants to be viewed in the eyes of the world (of course, all that really matters to her is that she is viewed by the eyes of the world). Just don't watch all the way to the end. No, seriously. Don't.
