The State v. Jodi Arias: break in trial until 28 January 2013 #17 *ADULT CONTENT*

[Jeda2]

Thank you for the welcome, guys

How come I have never seen these jury questions before in a trial. Is this something new?

Only about 3 states does this. Arizona is one of them.

MooCow, Jodi admitted to killing Travis. If she murdered him in self defense or murdered him in cold blood, she murdered him. Murder is murder and dead is dead. Just like killed = dead.

Absolutely

Enough said.

It is what it is.

If the defense brought up the stalking, they opened the door for all of that evidence of stalking to come in! Through their own witness!

Baaah haaa haaaa

That is what I was thinking BUT the stalking was brought up in a question from the jury so I don't know how this will play out.

Remember it was the defense who was so adamant in calling Lisa. The prosecution had expressed concerns her testimony could lead to an appellate issue and had no intention of calling her.

Wonder how they think it's working for them?

Very true. And they can't be too pleased with those jury questions.

:moo:

 

[Steely Dan]

Agreed. It put things back into prospective. This trial isn't about an erect penis, kissing and heavy petting.

No, but it makes it more compelling! :blushing:

I think it's Arizona law and I like it.

 

[JSR]

Is that strange that they continued with Lisa AFTER the jury left?

No, sometimes it's done when possible inflammatory testimony might be presented. They sort of do a "dry run" without the jury present and then the judge decides if the jury can hear it.

AWESOME QUESTIONS JURORS!!

Did you ever feel threatened? NO

Did he ever yell at you or call you names? NO

IF TA would ever dared to call Lisa names, or threaten her, he would ruin his reputation with the Mormon single's community. He probably would not have gotten a date with any of the eligible single Mormon women. Word spreads fast, I know. I think TA had to go outside of his Mormon single group to score. JA was a convert...not a "born in the covenant" Mormon.

 

[Justme84]

so are they done for the day or just having a break?

Only about 3 states does this. Arizona is one of them.

I wish all states allowed it.

It is a homicide at this moment. Murder requires a murderer. JA is innocent at this moment. She has not been found guilty by a jury of her peers in a court of law.

It doesn't matter if the murderer is ever found and/or convicted. The crime against the victim remains the same, he was murdered, a homicide was committed.

 

[Linda7NJ]

Don't you mean, SHE's not a murderer until convicted. Travis was definitely murdered, IMO.

No, if shes found not guilty Travis will have died as a result of a justifiable homicide

Thanks. IMO Martinez could not have asked many questions the jurors did because of that.

Sooooo Martinez is now able to bring up why Travis was angry (stalker Jodi slashed his tires WITH A SHARP KNIFE...just like she slashed Travis).

Right next to Beth in the hall who's talking about how what the judge is doing is unconstitutional - now corset lady is accosting her

Come on. It is the prosecution's assertion that Travis was murdered. His death was ruled a homicide.

Homicide is not the same as murder.

Homicide
1: a person who kills another
2: a killing of one human being by another​

Murder
1: the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought​

Nah, it's not murder if it was a justifiable homicide (legitimate self defense). Of course the defense objected to using the word "murder" -- as she should have.

 

[LostOldUserName]

Legally it isn't the same. It isn't murder until she's convicted.

I agree Linda ( as much as I hate too) but she is giving an affirmative defense. Which means "Yes I did but...."


PS: I am not saying that I hate agreeing with Linda. I was saying, I hate the fact that legally there isn't a crime until there has been a conviction.

 

[Sassynic]

I wonder if the Casey Anthony verdict would have been different had Florida allowed jury questions after every witness.

If Jodi admitted to killing Travis, what does that mean?

I almost took Down this dude in the hall who cut in line in front of me who started yelling at me
