JSS sure is looking tired and a little haggard, too, IMO.

Does she realize she looks like atoday? Is she trying to come on to the young male jurors ? Better button up!!
Here's the important part from the CoA ruling that underscored the whole problem going on (at least important to me)
"Although expressing concern that Arias was being manipulative, the court stated it had considered the potential legal ramifications if an appellate court later determined that Arias did not voluntarily waive her right to present evidence in mitigation. As a result, the court closed the proceeding for Arias testimony."
Translation: JSS is running scared at every point where she has to make a decision because she is terrified the case may be overturned on appeal. It will be appealed, that is 100% certain. Judge Sherry is paralyzed and is giving in to the defense as much as she possibly can due to her fear. Basically she lacks confidence in understanding she has discretion to decide key issues and doubts herself. She also is catastrophizing (what IF the appellate court thinks Arias didn't get a chance to..... and then they overturn ....) Not a good thing for a trial judge in a capital murder case to rule from the fear that every decision could be deemed a judicial error.
The irony here is that she is so busy protecting the case from future appellate action that she may well end up with a 2nd mistrial from delay after delay and juror attrition, and then she will have to sentence Arias, and at that point the DP will not be in play at all. The defense is counting on this and would be only too happy if JSS stayed paranoid and scared.
It's very clear that Jodi via her DT is running this trial. Since JSS has no control and is incapable or unwilling to control her court, she should step down and let a competent judge take over. Or is it too late for her to be removed?
