#jodiarias is looking at all the potential jurors walking in

See, now I would personally view that as disrespectful and arrogant (if I were the potential juror and was being stared at by the defendant/convicted). Kind of like when you stare at a dog's eyes you are challenging them.

I think everyone had a very disappointing day with the tweets and not being able to hear what exactly was going on in the courtroom.

The tweets weren't very informative, IMO. I don't think it was the media's fault as they all said the same things, so what was said in the courtroom was what they tweeted, I guess.:dunno:

I don't know. :sigh:

I think we are going to miss a lot- we won't really know what goes on until the verdict and someone posts the YTubes. :hanging:

Witness: What do you think counselor.
-----------------------------------

Lawyer: Did he kill you?

Witness: Excuse me counselor can you repeat the question?
--------------------------

Lawyer. And did he kill you?

Witness: Yes! :facepalm:
---------------------------

Lawyer: "Now sir, I'm sure you are an intelligent and honest man--"

Witness: "Thank you. If I weren't under oath, I'd return the compliment."
------------------------------

Lawyer: (realizing he was on the verge of asking a stupid question) "Your Honor, I'd like to

strike the next question."
------------------------------

Lawyer: "What is your brother-in-law's name?"

Witness: "Borofkin."

-----------------------------

THE COURT: Now, as we begin, I must ask you to banish all present information and prejudice

from your minds, if you have any.
-----------------------------

A diminutive lawyer, appearing as a witness in one of the courts, was asked by the opposing

attorney, who was a giant 6'8", what he did for a living.

The witness replied that he was a lawyer.

"You? A lawyer?" said the huge attorney. "Why, I could put you in my pocket."

"Very likely you could," replied the other. "But if you did, you'd have more law in your pocket

than you ever had in your head."
--------------------------

"Your Honor, in the first place, as they say, I am going to say it. I was going to say what you

said and the reason I am going to say it, is not because you just said it. If you had not said it, I

was going to say it first." --A lawyer speaking to a judge.
----------------------------

A lawyer cross-examined the adversary's main witness.

"You claim to have stopped by Mrs. Edwards' house just after breakfast.Will you tell the jury

what she said?"

"Objection, your honor," shouted the other lawyer.

There then followed a long argument between the lawyers as to whether the question was

proper. Finally, after 45 minutes, the judge allowed it.

"So," the first lawyer continued, "Please answer the question: What did Mrs. Edwards say

when you went to her house after breakfast on December 3rd?"

"Nothing," said the witness. "No one was home."
--------------------------------------

The Judge admonished the witness,

"Do you understand that you have sworn to tell the truth?"

"I do."

"Do you understand what will happen if you are not truthful?"

"Sure," said the witness. "My side will win."

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.

I'm sure William Zervakos told her to make eye contact with every one of them. To look them in the eye, make them beholden to you
I guess it's a psychological trick.


I'm still angry about him. He should of stepped down and been replaced at the first because of his bias.

 

[neesaki]

About her odd letter asking that she be considered innocent. Its really sunk in for me that deep down inside the killer she knows she doesn't exist. There's no person inside her. Her dead eyes reflect the reality of empty space.

She breathes and bleeds and has all the physical parts of a person, but I think that's where she ends. With nothing inside, her outside is everything to her. How people see her is her only and whole identity.

Which is why she feels she must control how others view her. Which is why she said to Flores that her reputation WAS the rest of her life. Which is why she murdered Travis. He threatened to reveal her for what she is-- an empty parasite, and that above all else was intolerable.

Excellent insights, Hope4More. I have personally known only one other person that reminds me of CMJA. She has a very daunting persona, including, among other much more severe symptoms, the empty, blank, piercing, staring eyes like CMJA. Though, AFAIK, she has never resorted to murder, she is otherwise just like her. I have a term for people like this... they do not "cohere". IOW, something essential is missing. Dear friends, if you know anyone remotely like this, please, please, steer clear.Or IOW, it's "Danger, Will Robinson" . JMO :scared:

 

[neesaki]

She's in closed custody with the worst of the worst, so I think she is trying to say "see there are people more deplorable than me in here". Yeah, right! Just another tale of woe from the convict. :facepalm:

OMG, like that's worse than what she did. OMG.... she's so clueless . :facepalm:

 

[Renee110]

I posted this over on the retrial thread, but thought I would bring it over here too.

AZLawyer, or any other lawyers or anyone who knows about these things:

Ok…I've been watching the Jeff Gold Spreecast, which you can see here http://www.spreecast.com/events/the-...-arias-retrial

Around the 3:00 minute mark, he talks about JSS dismissing jurors. Here is what he said….

"Because the questions that are being asked about fairness, the same questions that you would ask in any trial, Can you be fair? And it's a little different, this is a very unusual case. This is a case where, the issue of guilt is over with. It has been decided that Jodi Arias is a convicted murderer. So that's not before this jury. And yet, at least half of the jurors were excluded in my opinion, for what's called CAUSE, meaning the judge can allow out any number of jurors without it ever getting to the parties to make objections; those are called preemptories, they can make them for any reason as well other than race, but they never got to that yet. We are not at that point yet. The only thing that's happening now is that jurors are being excused for CAUSE, because the judge recognizes that they can't be fair, or that they can't be there because they have to be somewhere else."

To me that sounds like Juan CAN'T object yet. Is that right?

Good morning :seeya:

Just a couple of things this AM:

Dismissed juror on Jodi Arias: 'She needs to die'

"..."Based off the evidence I've seen and what I've heard on TV," said Maestas. "I followed this case very closely. I could not be able to make a clear, honest decision based off of evidence presented in that court because of things I've heard. Clearly, a decision has been made on my part."

"After she was sentenced, I was shocked that the first jury didn't give her the death penalty," said Mueller. "It was pretty clear cut that she butchered her boyfriend. She needs to die."..."

JSS is a disaster. Where is her judicial temperament? Maybe she should be in Family Court. I have not bashed her before, but this is totally ridiculous.
