I saw Samantha go out the door where the jury comes in. Not the same door that the attorneys went out. #JodiArias

Weird how different reporters are reporting people going different places. Has anyone ever gone through that door before?

Whatever the delay is, I'm blaming Nurmi!

In fact, from now on, everything is Nurmi's fault.

Out of milk - Nurmi's fault.
Late to work - Nurmi's fault.
Gained 5 pounds sitting on my azz watching this trial -- YEP, It's Nurmi's fault!

Apologies if this has been discussed already....but it appears that Chris Hughes will NOT be called in rebuttal. I'm sick!

 

[Melanie]

I bet this has something to do with ALV speaking to Samantha.

But why should it take 90 minutes to deal with. It's almost lunchtime for goodness sake. And if we do hear any testiphony, JW will be jumping up and down asking "can we approach" every 2 minutes.

Why do I torture myself like this?

#JodiArias An hour and ten minutes and counting. Waiting for trial to begin. Everyone meeting in Judge's chambers. What's up?

Hey, didn't know katicool was on twitter! :blowkiss:

JM is aggressive with all witnesses, even his own. That's his style.

Thank You! These folks need to quit crying over this.

 

[rachael123]

Wonder what,s happening.

I read the defense, Alice and MS came out of chambers, and the Alexander family w ent in.

hey guys-
check out this question from the Q&A thread

I have a few questions regarding Gus Searcy and his relationship with Jodi.

"And then at one point, she called me up one day and she was very upset. They’d had some kind of a fight and she needed to get away. And I said, Well, I happen to be in Las Vegas, about an hour and a half away. Why don’t you just come there and spend a day or so with me there, let things calm down."

Do we know when this "fight" occurred between Jodi and Travis?

Is it possible that her trip to LV was around the time she slashed his tires? I know she's fond of the out of state alibi.

Did Travis have any knowledge about this mentor relationship between Jodi and Gus? Did he know she was staying with Gus in LV?

The passage of time has fogged my memory - causing memory problems...
Didn't JM show that at the time that JA was hanging with GS in his motor home, she was sending TA pics of her ?

If you remember the facts, you should respond to this!

BethKaras Flores has come out of chambers twice to look in his files, grab a document, then return to chambers. #JodiArias

 

[rose222]

I was so annoyed when ALV said 'I don't know where you're going with this.'

She doesn't need to know. Just answer the da$n question. Simple!

 

[oceanblueeyes]

I hope not. Didn't the DT ask for a deal early on, to be refused by JM?

:floorlaugh: Every time they go back into the Judge's chambers some posters think there has been a plea deal offered. Every time. I guess its just normal for some to think that.

The State has no reason to accept a plea from Arias. They have way more evidence than they need to convict her.

NO PLEA DEAL will be accepted, imo.

Juan wasn't screaming at ALV, she kept making herself a victim and he was a bully that make her to not be able to think...much like Jodi...

Why didn't Jodi use her Karate skills to get away from Travis? Wasn't that what her parents sent her to classes for? She could of gotten away and didn't need a gun. One kick and she had time to flee and Travis wouldn't of been following her.

So... do we have a special visitor today.

 

[Hopeful One]

If she doesn't get it, she will kill again, just as certainly as she lies when her lips are moving.

Well I didn't mean I want her to get off!! I just want her to rot in prison.

But I respect all opinions so no need to debate it.

 

[orangesandapples]

This sounds like mistrial actually being considered due to ALV's communication.

Could that have been strategy?

Hard to say, though I think perhaps. Am I allowed to say that?:twocents:

I'm sure that quote has been a lasting impression to the jury. :seeya:

"No jury will ever convict me. And you can mark my words on that." ~ Jodi Ann Arias

Alyce and the DP mitigation specialist just came out of chambers. Juan and Flores went back into chambers. #JodiArias

Could this have anything to do with impeaching the witness?

 

[JSR]

I bet this has something to do with ALV speaking to Samantha.

If I had to guess I would say this is what the delay is about.

 

[Chelly]

If you were a juror, would you give JA
1. Life in prison
OR
2. Death

I've always been against the death penalty. However, this is first time I'd vote for Death for Jodi
