They really should and I believe the judge has already ruled: Gag order, no camera's in the penalty phase. BUT I feel that the media should challenge this.
The media will do anything within its power, and then some, to get cameras in the courtroom.

New laws go into effect on January 1 regarding media coverage in the courts in Arizona. Electronic devices are expressly allowed by the new statutes.
It is expected that the media will submit a new motion once the new law is in effect.
We'll see what happens.
:seeya: Yes!! Freedom of the Press!

Hi, maybe this is why media has been sort of quiet about this. They already know what will be. I cant wait for this to start. They should put an Aunt or other relative as witness. they will not do better. This trial will go on forever! :loveyou:
Although, I have not watched a lot of trials, I did witness the same reaction after the verdict with the Casey Anthony trial. The verdict for that case of course was not guilty and I can get that people were upset, but the screaming did not help or change it.
Maybe it'll start the day Jodi tells the truth.

P.S. You got my 4000th post. lol
Hi Marg, it varies by state, the jury decides whether she gets Life or the Death Penalty in AZ, if given Life, the judge will decide whether it's life without possibility of parole or life with possible release after 25 years (AZ does not have a parole system any longer but did when she committed this crime, which is why she has the possibility of release (although probably not a very strong one) if the jury decides on Life in the penalty phase.

First, Happy New Year to all !
Second, has the date for the Penalty Phase [re-trial] been set yet ?
TIA !
:seeya:
Not yet, dog.gone.cute. It seems the meeting on the 13th will be for Oral Arguments on motions that have gone before. Hopefully the judge will set down the date soon. jmo
