  1. good morning everyone.. if the jury can deliberate for just nine more days we will hit 800 😀

  2. GOOD MORNING TEAM JODI!!! Congrats #1 Debbie for getting up with the chickens!!!! 😉

    • In this case I got up with the puppy thanks R Love 😀 no gifts please. I need nothing 😀

  3. ♥ PRAYERS FOR JODI, JODI’S FAMILY, DEFENSE TEAM AND THE JURY ♥

    Lunch with @DaniDeeg and @AngelaArias21 #jodiarias. A good day for the haters to hate

      • Ohhhhhhh not sure that’s all good!!! I pray she uses her head. I hope she ask herself “would Jodi want me to say that?”. Don’t get me wrong she has a right to ripe these people a new one but ….. Becarefull!!!

        • Yes be careful dear Angela, I’m not sure you need that heart ache right now.
          ♥ Much Love to You and Your family!!!! ♥ Your day will come when you will
          be able to say your peace, just do not get in a hurry. . .give it time. Let God
          Protect Jodi right now. ♥ XOXOX

      • Well I believe it is like ALV stated on her video… she apparently had a twitter account (someone had made one using her name) and she didn’t even know how to tweet. She also had a facebook page that she had never been on. There is no saying for sure this is Jodi’s sister or some ignoramus trying to cause trouble.

    • The haters really do seem to be in their “element” don’t they.
      Squirming worms, squirm away. Pitiful.

    • I can’t help but think that Angela has had enough of the haters and need to vent. I agree that she should be careful. I am concerned about the barrage of evil she is facing which will be directed at HER as opposed to her sister. I hope she is emotionally, mentally and physically prepared for the abuse. It will take stamina unlike that which most people possess. It will require control in her replies. It will require her to put aside an immediate response, a hasty response which may not, under normal circumstances, be in her nature. Hopefully she will let love conquer the hatred that currently surrounds her. It will be more than the average person can overcome

  5. Good morning Debbie, congrats on #1.
    Well back a while some sarcastic media person Jodi would be serving her sentence at the courthouse….. I know it’s stressful on everyone. But this jury is no different then the last. When it comes right down to it some just can not vote to take the life of another. I hope that those are the ones that will question how Jodi was convicted in the first place.

    I really think someone needs to keep a eye on the siblings. The longer this goes on the more stressed they become. I don’t know how normal it is for a family to be hanging out at the courthouse. I have never heard this before. Someone needs to direct them in someway. Kinda get the feeling Tanisha is the one in charge. That just might get them in a whole lot of trouble. JM you need to take Care of these “kids….”. No rules or boundaries for them..

    Jodi our sweet angle you are so strong…please feel our love and armed around you….

    • Jodi Our Sweet Angel Stay Strong!!!! If by chance, they say DP I will hang on to the
      words that Dan stated on the last thread. Yes it would be scary. Then and only then,
      Justice will be served to the guilty when it goes before the Federal Courts. It will be
      out of the hands of the Arizona CORRUPT System. The haters might enjoy the sentence for
      a few seconds but it will not stand, absolutely no way! May they enjoy their seconds of glee
      if that happens. ♥ JODI ARIAS WILL BE FREE AGAIN! ♥
      IT IS IN GOD’S HANDS AND HE WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS. We Are With You Jodi!

    • I think you hit the nail on the head there Cindy. The family does not know boundaries because they most certainly weren’t raised with any according to TA. They basically fended for themselves. I do not think it is normal for them to be hanging out at the courthouse but then they are not in their own place… they are in a different state so they don’t have anything else to do.

      • BS sorry they didn’t do this last time. They can swim at the hotel, go to the museums. It’s not a pole dunk little town. Hanging around the courthouse is not mentally healthy for any of them. That is what frightens me.

        • sorry Cindy I laughed out loud when you put mentally healthy and the alexander family in the same sentence… I really do not think that is a possibility.

  7. Jen’s Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ 7m7 minutes ago

    #jodiarias jury is back to deliberating at 9ish MST. Today was my guess for verdict day. See you at the courthouse!

  8. Troy Hayden has a new article with video entitled “DOC prepares new ‘home’ for Jodi Arias.” There is video of Perryville and Jodi’s cell. It describes what she can do depending on her sentence. Describes how much she can spend per week at the commissary, describes pay rate for job, describes that she can participate in group counselling with 11 others if she gets a life sentence, describes some other things she can do, etc., etc. Decided against posting it here but if you’re interested…

    • Coldcase53, T*&# H@*#@* is considered a BAD word around here. He is sealing his own fate with his need to self promote himself. . .what a shame for him. Trying to save you from the Stool of Shame. 😉

  9. Good Morning All 🙂
    (((((Tea Jodi)))))

    This Alexander family is out of control IMHO…….they have issues themselves and their behavior shows it….but we will persevere for Jodi and the appellate courts will remedy the corrupt, fraudulent verdict that JM and others sold their souls for…….

    • Whatever is going on it draws a light to the travesty in the case itself. There is NO evidence that Jodi killed anyone. I am not trying to find holes in the prosecutions case, they find me in the middle of the night.
      There are no fingerprints in evidence that belong to her. How can anyone commit this murder without leaving one fingerprint?
      There must have been someone’s fingerprints. It only makes sense. Did the police find the? Where are they? Were they hidden from the defense? And, if they didn’t match Jodi’s they couldn’t be brought into evidence, now could they?

      • ♥ (((((((Carol Handy)))))))) ♥ We’ve all had sleepless nights over this. SMH

        • There IS ambiguity: Her LAWYERS told her to LIE!!
          She has NEVER said she KILLED him…

        • On Jodi’s official Twitter account, @JodiAriasUpdates, it states that the conspiracy theories are not true, and it is her testimony that is true.

          I wholeheartedly agree with that.

          I do respect people’s differing perspectives and exploration, investigation. I do think much that is valuable will come from that exploring.

          • In looking at the facts in this case:
            This was a bloody crime scene, which was supposed to have happened in 2+ minutes.
            And, yet, there are no fingerprints put into evidence that matched Jodi’s fingerprints.
            And, there were no footprints that were put into evidence that were connected to Jodi.
            In fact there were 2 footprints and neither was associated with anyone. There was one in the hall, and there was one in the shower.

            No time of death was ever established.
            The corpse does not appear to be dead 5 days.
            Why wasn’t an estimated time of death ever given?
            The answer is that it would not have fit into the time-line drawn up by the detective.

            Evidence that was put into evidence is questionable to say the very least.
            But there was damage done to at least one computer, damage done to a cameras, timestamps added to pictures that cannot be certified.

            There was erroneous information about a stolen gun, gas cans, stalking, tire slashing, jealous obsessive behavior, all of which were blown out of proportion and which have been discredited.
            There is just too much to be questioned by professionals; they will be questioned as time goes by and Jodi will be exonerated.

      • Lots of people are convicted of murder when they don’t leave forensic evidence. You can’t seem to grasp this concept at all. Dana Chandler was convicted of double homicide despite the fact there was NO forensic evidence left at the scene and no witnesses. That doesn’t mean she was innocent, for there was tons of circumstantial evidence pointing to her guilt. With Jodi she has admitted killing Travis. This is not seriously questioned. The ONLY issue in this case is WHY she did it.

        • YOU are having trouble seeing the TRUE facts.
          READ how she was FORCED into a STORY so she could get out of the LYING Detective Flores’ INTERROGATION room.

        • There is no comparison between Dana Chandler and Jodi Arias. They are no where near the same type person. The cases are completely different from the start. There is no way I would support Dana Chandler. She deserved her sentence, unlike Jodi Arias.

    • I was thinking the same thing. She hasn’t been around much since deliberation began. Hope she is OK.

    • Knowing how dedicated CanadaCarol is, I’m sure she is trying to catch up with her life. I’m sure she is not far away, ever. We will send her a group hug! ♥ ((((((((CanadaCarol)))))))) You are being missed!!

  10. Well to all of you that have been slammed with snow….I would like you to know that we were hit with freezing rain early this morning and now it’s snowing you should see the snowflakes are huge things… I’m not upset because if it’s it’s snowing the temp is above 0.. Heat wave..

    • 🙁 I love you oodles, but please do not send me anymore ice!!!!! It’s not funny.

  11. Report this morning that death row inmate Kelly Gissendaner’s execution in Georgia postponed last night because of “cloudy lethal drug” Wow!

    • Perhaps it is a Heavenly Intervention that Kelly Gissendaner’s “lethal drug is cloudy” !!!!! …And her execution has been put on an indefinite “hold”. …..
      …If Jesus can turn water into wine & feed the hungry, certainly St Joan of Arc, Guardian Angel of Jodi Ann Arias can step-in and to turn Kelly Gissendaner’s “lethal execution poison” into unconstitutional problems for the United States Criminal Justice System.
      … It is time for our so called “fair government” to step in an put an indefinite moratorium on verdicts of the death penalty in the United States, retroactive. …And, Congress to vote to abolish the death penalty.

    Two more jurors, men walk in to start deliberating. They gave me a friendly smile. #JodiArias

  14. If the jurors are reviewing the exhibits from the criminal trial, then they will soon discover that the state put forth false assertions….like: No porn, gunshot last, gunshot penetrated the brain, TA was a good virginal Mormon, etc, etc, etc……ALL FALSE !! They will see that she was convicted on false evidence and perjury….having said that they should make their own decisions based on the truth without discussing the veracity of the criminal trial verdict per the instruction of the court to “accept” it………

    • BB, add to that there are no fingerprints belonging to Jodi entered into evidence! (as I said above).

    • Also, imo Jodi was most probably convicted because she “lied” and new evidence reveals/proves she DID NOT LIE!

  16. Hey, question here. When the court records actually come out will the sidebar conversations be in them? It will be interesting to read them and see if JSS was in need of advice from the Frog at every single one of them.

    • I’m looking forward to reading those sidebars too! 😯
      We will finally learn who was ‘manipulating’ WHO.

  17. Carolyn Sung ‏@CarolynSungCNN 1m1 minute ago

    So far 8 jurors have arrived. #jodiarias

  18. The haters are having fits. They can’t believe the jury didn’t come back with death within an hour. One poster called the jury “stupied”. This person’s “friends” then jumped all over the spelling and even commented that this person was “stupied”. Then someone else jumped in to rescue and said that they should not be calling people names. WTF? There is something seriously wrong with the way these people think (if you can even call that thinking).

    • We just can’t argue with stupied 😆 (Hehehe, I had to make sure I spelled it right for them) I’ve tried and failed. They do not want help because they just know they everything including the name of the unknown soldier.

    • I had a former colleague of mine stalk me at a newspaper website trying to trash my character when I talked about my illegal dismissal and about a school superintendent who had just gotten a new appointment. She was really trying to rub it in about my termination when she should have kept quiet about it. At one point she made a typo about how “you can’t fix stiupid.” Real intelligent thinking coming from a school speech pathologist who didn’t realize she could go back and fix her typo.

    • Juror 1 again, So Scoopy is the one who likes to point that out just like the Frog. Hmmmmmm

  26. I don’t know if anybody has noticed this but it seems that whenever the jurors walk out for breaks/lunch it seems that there is a group of 8 together….Hmmmmm…….

  27. Jen’s Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ 31s31 seconds ago

    Juror’s put their heads down when they walk by the press as we stare at them…I’m sure this is so awkward 2 b watched so closely #jodiarias

    • ah – surprised that Scoopy is the only one to realize that the juror’s heads down has little to do with their ‘moods’ or their ‘deliberations’ and everything to do with avoiding contact with the media vultures.

      • Absolutely. They are like that poisonous gas fog every one was describing the other day.
        They stink.

      • It did take her long to realize it though. Well, better late than ever I guess 🙄

    Lawyers are back. At recess until 1:00. #JodiArias

  69. JODI should not enter courtroom until she gets word her family is there.

    Yeah, I know – like she has a choice in the matter, but still…..

  70. Cathy ‏@courtchatter 49s50 seconds ago

    They’re back. Judge Stpehens calls a 1 hour recess until 1:00 MST. The secret court of Judge Stephens continues. #jodiarias

    • Someone needs to tell us if they see increased law enforcement presence in and around the courthouse…please ………..

    • Yup that’s it!!! And its a hung jury….
      Oh I’m sure that place will be protected like Fort Knox. I just hope they perfect Jodi and her family…..

    • BB,

      I was wondering the exact same thing. Is it the 1-hour notice or just a coincidence and they;’re just at lunch break???

  71. Guesses??

    Allen charge wouldn’t take “longer than lunch” to read to them.

    Guess #1: 8 jurors are unable to accept the verdict of Guilty as they were instructed.

  72. Jen’s Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ 15s16 seconds ago

    They may let everyone eat, dress #jodiarias out and bring jury in courtroom at 1pm. Just a guess

  73. If this is the one hour notice and we are about to have a verdict….my guess is one of two things…either they are so far apart in the split…say 7/5 or 6/6 or even 8/4 that there is no possibility that they will ever get a unanimous decision and JSS has decided to call it hung without further stalling….or the other possibility is it is unanimous and if that is the case the odds weigh in favor of DP 🙁

  74. Chris Williams ‏@chriswnews 1m1 minute ago

    Court staff insists “it’s a question”. We’ll find out at 1pm. #JodiArias #12News

  75. Wonder if an alternate is going to be put on the jury to replace someone with scheduling conflicts….

    • I don’t think they would have taken a hour “recess” for that….something bigger is going on I believe…

      • If Jodi’s family informed the court they were coming – and because they were so near normal lunch recess anyway – they might have decided to just wait an hour to give Arias family time to get to court.

          • They won’t mind. They’re not going to take a chance again. Last time they were told it was just a question, Sandy’s mother wasn’t there for Jodi when it was announced that the jury was hung. She will gladly come to court for ‘just a question’ this time around. NO DOUBT

  76. Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer 3m3 minutes ago

    Apparently the #jodiarias jury has a complex jury question. Judge Stephens conferred briefly with lawyers and then called recess until 1.

  77. My computer decided to have a meltdown on Thursday and just got it back from the shop this morning. At least it had perfect timing if it had to act up. Quickly reading through this morning, it seems to me the jury is divided once again. I am so glad that everybody waited for me. BB, don’t be sad – I don’t think it could possibly be unanimous. 🙂

  78. This is a very interesting tweet (10:26 above?):

    William Pitts @william_pitts · 54m 54 minutes ago

    Apparently AZ’s “25 yrs” law hasn’t been around for 25 years yet, so no one’s been able to come up for the possibility. #JodiAria

    Why would this be his first reaction to the news about a “complex question” from the jurors?

  79. If Jodi gets life with the possibility of parole after 25 years she has already served 7 years plus time for good behaviour should reduce it further so she should be eligible for parole in 10 years maybe?

  80. Sorry dropping this down here because I want to know the truth about this!!!!!Someone?
    My question from above:

    March 3, 2015 at 11:33 am
    So, if it is DP the Federal Courts will handle the Appeals, right or wrong, BB?

      • However, that can be appealed (if it comes back upheld) to the ninth circuit court of appeals and then ultimately to the US Supreme Court….

        • Okay, let me clarify here about the appeals: a writ of Federal Habeas Corpus (Latin for “you shall have the body”) which is an action taken by a prisoner for an unlawful imprisonment and is filed in federal district court. The claim is a violation of federal constitutional rights….which we certainly have here with the Brady violations…and the decision by this court can be appealed to the 9th circuit court of appeals…then this can be appealed to the US Supreme Court. This is just one of three ways to appeal:

          1) direct appeal which goes to the AZ Supreme Court then this can be appealed to the US Supreme court for federal constitutional violations

          2) Post Conviction Relief – after the direct appeal to the AZ Supreme Court has finished, post conviction relief action is filed in the trial court – this is where you can claim ineffective assistance of counsel, any new evidence that has been found that would have impacted the case outcome – the decision here can be appealed to the AZ Supreme Court and then this can be appealed to the US Supreme Court

          3) Federal Habeas Corpus described above… this is where the Debra Milke case was overturned in the 9th circuit court of appeals

          So you see there are several ways that Jodi can appeal her case and I am sure that the appellate lawyers will proceed forward on all fronts …where Jodi is going to be successful in my opinion is with the violations of her federal constitutional rights to a fair trial with the Brady Violations…..

          • And again with the DP there is an automatic direct appeal to the AZ Supreme Court paid for by the AZ taxpayers…….

      • So Dan was wrong in the way he stated it yesterday. 🙁 I was in hopes it would go flying out of that HELL-O hole Arizona straight to the Federal Courts. I want the Judge and the Prosecutor to pay for their injustices!

  111. What is an Allen Charge? – Definition:

    After all of the evidence and arguments have been presented in a criminal trial, the judge officially hands the case over to a jury for final deliberations. The hope is that all twelve original jurors will be able to reach a unanimous decision and render a verdict. But occasionally a jury may become so divided that a unanimous decision simply cannot be formed. The jury foreman may communicate this impasse through a note to the presiding judge. In order to avoid declaring a mistrial or hung jury, the judge may deliver what is known as the Allen charge, or dynamite charge.

      • SHE is not sure what she is doing…cindy. She is going to tell them to go back and deliberate because at this point the jury is hung. She is making some kind of modification to the rule about what to do if the jury can’t get past their differences of opinion.

  114. It is my hope that those against the dp refuse to change their minds and refuse to be talked into it.

  116. REVISED ARIZONA JURY INSTRUCTIONS (CRIMINAL)
    http://federalevidence.com/pdf/JuryInst/Ariz.StanCrimInstru.CumulSupp.pdf

    Page 42: Impasse Instruction

    This is offered to help you, not to force you to reach a verdict.

    As jurors, you have a duty to discuss the case with one another and to deliberate in an effort to reach a just verdict. Each of you must decide the case for yourself, but only after you consider the evidence impartially with your fellow jurors. During your deliberations, you should not hesitate to re-examine your own views and change your opinion if you become convinced that it is wrong. However, you should not change your belief concerning the weight or effect of the evidence solely because of the opinions of your fellow jurors, or for the mere purpose of returning a verdict.

    • The rest of the instruction:

      You may wish to identify areas of agreement and disagreement and then discuss the law and the evidence as they relate to the areas of disagreement.

      If you still disagree, you may wish to tell the attorneys and me which issues, questions, law or facts you would like us to assist you with. If you decide to follow these steps, please write down the issues where further assistance might help bring about a verdict and give the note to the bailiff. The attorneys and I will then discuss your note and try to help you.

      I do not wish or intend to force a verdict. We are merely trying to be responsive to your apparent need for help. If it is possible that you could reach a verdict as a result of this procedure, you should consider doing so.

      Please take a few minutes and discuss this instruction among yourselves. Then advise me in writing of whether we can attempt to assist you in the manner indicated above or whether you do not believe that such assistance and additional deliberation would assist you in reaching a verdict.

  117. Oh My God, why do I feel like this Judge is trying to set up the jury! What are modified impasse instructions??? and why????

  118. Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin 34s34 seconds ago

    Some #JodiArias friends and supporters are in court. No sign of her family.

  119. MaryEllen Resendez ‏@maryellenabc15 21s21 seconds ago

    In AZ a second hung jury means a life sentence for #JodiArias — Death Penalty will come off the table #abc15

  120. I don’t see how an Allen charge can be delivered in this case. The text of the standard Allen charge says:

    “If you should fail to agree upon a verdict, the case will be left open and may have to be tried again. Obviously, another trial would only serve to increase the cost to both sides, and there is no reason to believe that the case can be tried again by either side any better or more exhaustively than it has been tried before you.

    Any future jury must be selected in the same manner and from the same source as you were chosen, and there is no reason to believe that the case could ever be submitted to twelve men and women more conscientious, more impartial, or more competent to decide it, or that more or clearer evidence could be produced.”

    But that is obviously not the case here.

    So what gives with all this talk about an Allen charge?

      • Could be, but a hung jury here still leads to a valid and viable result – so there is no need for any sort of “dynamite” charge.

        But who knows – everything else defies logic in this case so why stop now.

        • I see your point –

          And your point give’s KN’s objections context.

          I suspect JSS might only find context on planet kolob.

        • Al: This turn of events, this Allen clause, this atomic measure, keeps pointing backward and referring to: “the evidence that was presented.”

          The catch here is that the Prosecutor and his goons lost, hid, destroyed, tampered with, lied about, misrepresented the “so called evidence” to the point where there is exactly zero reliable evidence on which to evaluate this capital case. Nothing can change any of that at this point.

          When is current law that has been in place for decades going to be enforced to effect the arrest and removal of the cluster of unconvicted Fellons, perjurors, and cheaters who are truly running up the price of seeking justice, and ruining the lives of countless innocent citizens of this formerly great country?

          Think about your twins. Can you tolerate having them subjected to the pain and heartache of loosing confidence in their future, and their prospects for their own children?

          Sincerely,
          Seabird

      • Seems to me that JSS doesn’t want this on her head but that is too bad she has yet another hung jury on an over charged case… deal with it!

    AZ law: Hung jury in penalty phase re-trial is an automatic life sentence. So a hung jury essentially is a verdict. #JodiArias

  129. Am I mistaken, or do unanimity for life and a hung jury have exactly the same result in this case — namely, no DP? If so, there is no justification for an Allen charge. It would serve no purpose except to pressure a minority for life to embrace the DP instead. It can be of no value in pressuring a minority for death to embrace life instead. Therefore, it looks like a wholly one-sided gift to the state.

  130. If the goal by the judge is to pressure the jurors —–it would make me stand my ground……but who knows…I bet there are bullies in there and that the bullies will be inspired by the modified instructions.
