I went to that site for her "appeal fund" and found this:
"I thought the Arizona taxpayers have to pay for Jodi's appeals?
If Jodi is given a sentence of death, then, yes, Arizona taxpayers will be required to pay for Jodi's entire defense (all over again), even if it takes decades, which most death-penalty cases do. The problem with this scenario is that Jodi will not receive the best representation possible. Rather, she will be appointed yet another public defender, and
we've already seen the disastrous results of that. Even if a public defender can manage to get the conviction overturned, that public defender will also be Jodi's trial attorney
If Jodi is sentenced to life, taxpayers will fund very little. She will be appointed a public defender for her direct appeal, and if her conviction is upheld (nearly all convictions are upheld on direct appeal), then post-conviction relief (PCR) proceedings begin. Few appellants are granted a hearing at the PCR stage, and of those few, fewer still ever manage to get their convictions overturned. If the public defender can manage to get Jodi a hearing during PCR, she will be back in the same courtroom with the same trial judge and the same prosecutor. Only the public defender will be new (and thus at a disadvantage). The Honorable Sherry Stephens will be the one deciding whether to uphold Jodi's conviction. Arizona taxpayers will not pay for anything beyond PCR proceedings. If her conviction is upheld, Jodi and her public defender will part ways and Jodi will go back to prison # for the rest of her life.
The alternative is much better: Immediately after Jodi is sentenced, whether to life or death, the Legal Defense Fund is used to retain the most competent, skilled attorney available to begin working on her appeals right away, from her direct appeal all the way to the federal level, if need be. Unfortunately, this scenario cannot be realized until there is enough in the fund to retain an attorney. Nor is it in Jodi's best interest to retain one later down the line, because that attorney will not be adequately familiarized with the case and relevant history, such as incidents of prosecutorial misconduct. Also, there is a limited window of time that Jodi has to appeal in, and if that window closes, she will have lost the opportunity, and any further attempts to appeal will be deemed by the court to be not timely.
So, the question "Don't the Arizona taxpayers have to pay for Jodi's appeals?" can best be answered with a question: "Don't you want Jodi to have the best legal representation possible, or do you want to leave it to chance and let the system pick another public defender for her?"..."

BBM Nurmi is jumping thru hoops for their brat and they don't appreciate anything he has done for her. :stormingmad:
What makes them think that another lawyer would do better??? She's guilty, nothing will change that and nothing will "save her". She's a murderer! Do they think people are stupid and would believe her "stories"? Delusional- all of them!
I feel sorry for them too, but not that much.
