    • Congrats on being first Journee! I think SJ should bring back his ‘first comment gifts’ as they were a success back in 2013!

  1. Also, just wanted to chime in I still love JW. A lot of articles bash Jodi’s defense team, and I get KN being under scrutiny, but it is clear to me that JW works hard for her. This motion is great. JW rocks!

    • TaDaa! Congrats to #1 Journee and #2 and #3 Vicky! Way to go!! 😀
      Now everyone try to remember that Corrina Cares About Herself!!!!! LOL 🙄 giggling gleefully

      • Then we should give ((( Nurm))) a big hug but I hope they are all working together. It will only benefit Jodi if they do. IMHO. I’m thankful for all their hard work.

        • Search me. Maybe she took it over to court and that’s where it gets signed? In any case, her signature says “for” Kirk Nurmi, and it’s written in the same style as all the other motions, with signature Nurmi phrases like “as it relates to.” So I have no doubt it’s his work.

      • Yeah, I saw Jennifer signed it, so I assumed she wrote it. Whoever did it, it’s very well put together.

      • On page 12 it says “Ms. Arias had a manila envelope with her, marked “Legal Mail” and addressed to undersigned counsel “Jennifer Willmott.” This makes me think Jennifer wrote this, even though she’s signing for Nurmi (as first chair, I would presume.)

        • You go by the signature line. It says its written by L. Kirk Nurmi . JW signed the document “for” him. If she had authored it, her name would be under the signature line. It may have been intended for her to sign for him so that both attorneys names would be on the motion, and that is why she was addressed as undersigned counsel in the document. That’s my experience.

        • Interesting point. However, if JW wrote this motion, then (IMO) she wrote all the other motions, too, since this is very similar to the others. Namely, it’s well-organized and well-argued, but in terrible English (exactly as KN speaks) and with not even minimal proofreading. I doubt JW would be so slipshod on proofreading her text.

          • But if you listen to them in court, JW had problems with kermit objecting ceaselessly and she would have to keep rewording her questions, while Nurmi had a better track record for asking questions that toadie couldn’t object to. He has more experience with the law than JW but JW is better with people, IMO.

    • Jennifer was so much better than Nurmi during the first trial. I love Jennifer Wilmott too, Vicki.
      She definitely seems to care much more than K.N.

  2. WOW, WOW and WOW Mr. Martinez this is serious. Frankly, it is beyond serious I would have run away to. Shame on All of YOU! Your actions are disgraceful and in my mind “criminal”! All of these people presumed to be Officers of the Law (except for one???)? Thank you DT for doing a wonderful job! HooRay for You!! (((((JODI))))) Praying for you Jodi . . . Stay Strong! 😀

    • Hi Justus. . .just had a thought. . . maybe you should add Governor Brewers name onto the Judicial Injustices Page. We want everyone to get all the credit they deserve. 😀

        • Good one, R.Love. In case we have visitors:

          AZ Governor Jan Brewer, A.K.A., “Juror #13”
          “I don’t have all the information but I think she’s guilty,” at a press event while jury was deliberating.

          Only in Arizona.

          • Sorry, R.Love, I didn’t mean to “step on” your comment. Sometimes I write something and only think how I might feel if someone did the same thing to me …after it’s sent.

            ADM, would you please remove my 6:05pm comment when you have time. THANKS!

  4. Since this is also currently news, I wanted to mention this:
    I hear that there is a desire to protect the name of St. Mary.
    I say that surely, any organization that has ” St. Mary in its name, MUST know who Mary Magdalene was.
    Surely they know the teachings of Jesus Christ in regard to it.
    Pope St. Francis says that he believes in, ” the infinite mercy and patience of the Lord Jesus Christ.
    Personally, I believe it is a sin to prevent any human being from exercising the opportunity to do good.
    An organization may feel judgmental about Jodi Arias, feel uncomfortable, victimized, and perhaps find the association abhorrent and repugnant__but if one cares about the true signification of the name Mary in relation to God, then surely one should aspire to rise to the ideals promulgated by the New Testament, and take this opportunity to pratice the tenets of one’s faith.
    This is a fine opportunity to rise above the confines of the ego and embrace the higher law of love.
    The aim of Christianity, [ and most all religions]
    is to change darkness into light.
    In fact, the first words of Genesis are, “God said let there be light.”
    [Jodi Arias has no option of remaining anonymous when she raises money for charity; she is required to account for where any money goes………No one can know what is in a person’s heart, no matter how much one insists otherwise………………If acts of charity also happen to be considered mitigating factors, that is because they rightly ARE mitigators….Proponents of the death penalty have created the very process which operates upon the weighing of mitigating factors……
    Detractors of Arias know very well that even if she were to do no act of charity, they would use that against her too.
    Again, the name of Mary, in the context of Christianity, keeps company with Christ’s refusal to exclude ” sinners”.
    ………………….(It is my understanding that the official stance of the Catholic Church is that it denounces the death penalty……so it is safe to assume that it likewise endorses all endeavors to attain and demonstrate mitigating factors.)

  5. That is an excellent move by Jodi’s attorney; the motion to dismiss is superb. She has been punished too much already in my book. Hang in there Gorgeous don’t let them get You down Jodi.

  6. Very well written by DT and very alarming to read all the criminal acts that have gone on by, like R. Love stated, presumed officers of the law!!! That is a real shame on all of them!!!

    After reading the above, “Jodi’s Attorney’s file Motion to Dismiss (10/1)”, I seriously think that some people need to be ARRESTED for tampering with evidence and yes, R. Love that IS a crime and VERY disgraceful!!! I think Team Jodi knows which persons I’m talking about!!! Why hasn’t something been done about this already???

  7. It’s very hard to read Corrine’s tweets, but one of them is about someone wishing it was kermie that was stabbed in the back 27 times. It must be so hard to be in a courtroom with him all day.

    🙄

  8. I read the motion and kudos to the DT!! I do think that there are 2 more matters that should have been added to the motion (although it would turn it into the size of a whole encyclopedia set if all the doc proof were to be added in the EXHIBITS section):

    1. The facial expressions that we all witnessed throughout the trial made by the alexander family, travis’s friends and supporters. When there is a jury panel in the courtroom the spectators are advised to have a ‘poker face’ (no expressions at all) during trial. If they can’t keep a ‘poker face’ they are advised not to be present.

    Facial expressions can disrupt or corrupt a trial. In Jodi’s case the constant smirking, nodding, shaking heads with disagreement, ROLLING EYES, crocodile tear crying, hiding when inappropriate photos were exhibited and all the bad acting definitely influenced the jurors (especially when you see a juror mouthing the words ‘I’m sorry’ to alexander family members)… They all knew that this case was going to be stressful and emotional. If they couldn’t keep it together after their first ‘meltdown’ then they shouldn’t have returned to the courtroom.

    2. The Hate campaign that the alexander family, the hughes’s and the hall’s started by giving interviews anywhere they were invited and slandering Jodi while the trial was in process. Knowing that the jury wasn’t sequestered and they ‘might’ (is it ok if I roll my eyes?! ) have stumbled upon some of those interviews.

    I’m not even going to get into the social media frenzy and madness done by them…

    • Exactly Pandora! Let us keep the credits rolling on! 🙄 I’m for EVERYONE getting their just desserts!

      • Maybe we should have a pie throwing contest! I know several I would love to see with pie all over their face. LOL 🙄

  9. I was wondering if CASH has been vocal at all about the upcoming retrial of the penalty phase?
    I know that Dave Hall has been silent ever since he made an ass of himself last year at the state park.
    Anyway where I am going with this is: the Mormon church must hate all of the attention the gang of idiots brought to the church with the trial and the salacious details of Travis and his love for anal.
    I cannot imagine the church being thrilled about the Hughes’ shining a spot light yet again on Travis the church elder and his absolute disregard for the sacred covenants he pretended to abide by. I refuse to sweep that under the rug; sex before marriage being such an abhorrent sin it was second to murder. The true measure of a man is not what he does when everyone is looking, but what he does when no one is watching.
    I am going to guess the Hughes’ both keep their fat traps shut this time.

    • Although, watching their red faces sweating away with their fake smiles is rather entertaining. LOL Let them put on their clown masks again, they deserve an encore performance. They are such dedicated friends and true supporters of Saint Travis. 🙄 Coughing, Gagging, ugh. Hope they learn their lines better; ” Uuuuuuhhhh, Well….., Duhhhh, I’m not sure….., Well maybe….., Uuuuuuhhhh…….Well, Travis was my best friend ever a perfect Saint he was”. 🙄 Shake that bottom line $$$.

      • SO TRUE, R. Love and so disgusting at the same time!!! I really kind of wish Jodi was still representing herself because I was just waiting to see how THEY would act when Jodi questioned them since Jodi knows their TRUE COLORS now!!!! I would have LOVED to see that in PERSON!!! Oooh, what a SIGHT that would have been FOR SURE!!! DARN!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

    • I saw a tweet from Mr. CASH yesterday, part of their never-ending campaign to get everyone’s emotions to lynch mob mentality. And of course DH is going to spend as much time with his old buddy JVM as she will give him. It’s easy when you are not asked any hard questions, but are simply given a stage to spew your hatred with the host backing up your every word. Not a word about his new problem with goblins and the law.

      🙄

  10. HLN’s glossing over of this motion was really quite something. Jackson didn’t mention that his business card is now part of a court motion while he was ranting away. Corrina is just a budding producer and no mention the tweeting of sealed evidence which had to have come from her husband. The fact that her mother is a prosecutor and her husband the lead detective, you would think she would know better. Sheriff Joe’s interview was just a normal interview and on and on. Of course, scoopy was on praising on Juan.

    • Honestly CanadaCarol, we can’t expect them to report the true news facts, now can we?!
      🙄 HLN and the Truth are not related. IMHO

  11. In “How to Get Away with Murder” last night, a murderer, with hunting experience, describes how to kill an animal by slitting its throat (to put it out of its misery quickly apparently).

    Man: “Once the knife is by the juglar, you slice…in one swift motion and then well, it just becomes about waiting for the stillness which happens quite fast if you’ve done it correctly.
    Lawyer: “And this technique…this very humane, painless way of killing an animal…Is that how you murdered your wife?”
    Man: “Yes, that’s correct.”

    Later, the ME is trying to decide if the same person killed 2 women.
    ME: “The first murder, a laceration across the neck was done by someone with a knowledge of anatomy.”
    Lawyer: “And the second murder?
    ME: “The numerous sharp injuries were messy, inaccurate. They hit bone. The killer knew nothing about anatomy.”
    Of course, it’s just fiction.

    • Someone correct me if I am wrong – but wasn’t Bryan Carr the guy who sort of latched onto Jodi for awhile, said he visited her regularly – showed up in court a couple of times I think – said Jodi was romantically involved with some other woman at Estrella and they wanted him to father a baby for them? Is he the guy?

        • Why are you apologizing? Don’t be silly! I’m not even sure it’s the same guy. If it is, though, Jodi denied any friendship with him.

          • Jodi wouldn’t like it if he was creepy to her. It’s the reference to the blood atonement doctrine of the LDS Church that I found interesting.

            • Interesting but not unique to him. I think it’s been the prevailing ‘something else happened’ theory all along, one he could have picked up here or any number of places – including Edgar’s earliest rants.

              The throat wound and the belly wound would support the theory. But the chest wound doesn’t, I don’t think. Anyone looking to stab someone in the heart wouldn’t sink a knife into the RIGHT side of the chest, would they? That’s always bugged me.

              • Journee,

                It was a right-sided chest wound that nicked the blood vessel going into the heart.
                “A 1&1/2 inch oblique stab wound at the paramidline right chest, with penetration/perforation of the costochondral junction near the sternum at the level of the 3rd & 4th ribs; the wound extends to a maximum depth of approximately 3&1/2 inches with penetration of the superior vena cava near the base of the heart, with a small amount of hemorrhagic in the mediastinal soft tissue and the pericardal sac of the heart…”

                OR, are you talking about the second wound to the right side of chest: “A deep transverse 2 inch incised wound across the lower right chest below the nipple…”.

                I agree the wound below the right nipple wasn’t likely to reach the heart (unless it was done with a long-bladed knife or sword or screwdriver, etc.)

                One thing I hadn’t noticed before was the right jugular vein & right carotid artery were severed but not the left jugular vein & carotid artery. I thought that neck wound would have severed those vessels on both sides but apparently not. It might indicate Travis lived a little longer than he would have if those blood vessels were severed on both sides.

                Also, the description “with a small amount of hemorrhagic in the mediastinal soft tissue and pericardal sac of the heart” (above). Is this a description of the amount of bleeding from the penetration of the vena cava? I don’t know but if it is it doesn’t sound like much blood loss. Again, it might mean Travis wasn’t weakened by this chest wound as much as Dr. Horn suggested. He would definitely be weaked quickly if the blood was gushing from the vena cava but it’s hard to say if it was or not. Doesn’t sound like it was from Dr. Horn description but I may be misinterpreting it.

                • I was talking about the first wound you describe, the stab wound that cut the vena cava. I suppose someone with the knowledge of a surgeon could have made that wound, with the intent of delivering a fatal wound that wouldn’t kill immediately – so that Travis might suffer more in his death. But blood atonement specifically calls for a stab to the heart, slitting the throat and cutting open the belly (to disembowel). The gestures that mimic these acts are part of the ritual to be sealed to the temple, so they are quite specific. Any good Mormon should know that a stab to the heart would be to the LEFT of the paramidline.

                • Hi R. Love,

                  I’ve read some of MissPJgirl’s stuff. I know she believes Travis wasn’t killed in his home and the crime scene is staged. She, too, believes the neck wound is a ritual cut. But, I haven’t gone deeply into her blog.

                • This isn’t my area at all, but what about the obvious: R-sided wounds made face-to-face indicate a left-handed assailant? Also, way back when, I remember reading a Mormon poster who said blood atonements haven’t taken place for more than a century.

                • Alan – ‘face to face’ people engaged in a struggle may or may not necessarily directly in front of each other. And I still wonder at the significance of the fact that the sharp edge of the knife was upwards.

                  Mormons have a public story which, according to ex-Mormons, differs significantly from what is true.

                  And then there’s Flores, whose experience as a homicide detective in Mesa first led him to think that Travis’ neck wound might suggest a suicide.

                • Yes, Carol – there are those Ninja Mormon girls!

                  And let’s not forget the SWORD that was used to disable them!

      • Yep, Bryan Carr. One weird dude…. He had attended court once or twice and maybe being in a close proximity to her triggered his ”fantasy world” so he started going to the media with his the-Mormons-did it conspiracy theories, saying how he was her friend and had visited (which he never did). 🙄

  12. Watching (sort of) “A Time To Kill.” Two white guys rape a black man’s 10 year old daughter. The black man (Samuel L. Jackson) then blasts & kills the 2 white guys with an automatic rifle (lot & lots of bullets) after they are arrested by police. A lawyer (MathewMcConaughey) defending the black man, asks a DT member: “Can we keep the pictures of the 2 dead guys out of the trial?”

    Does anyone know if Jodi’s defense team tried to prevent Travis’s autopsy pictures from being shown. I think it’s been mentioned before that those pictures would have a difficult time being introduced into a Canadian court b/c it’s known that horrific pictures influence how jurors view/perceive the defendant. DT needs to keep Travis’s pics out next time if at all possible.

  13. Did we know that Travis’ writings are now a book for sale on Amazon.com ($4.99)? It’s called “RAISING YOU: STUMBLING BLOCKS OR STEPPING STONES, The Roadmap to a Better You”. So far it has 5-stars (37), 4-stars (1), 3-stars (2), and 1-star (3). And, of course, the comments under 5-stars is enough to make you wanna puke.

    • Very informative article. Related story at bottom entitled Radical Mormon Jihad links these brothers to Ezra Taft Benson, grandfather of the ‘cartoonist’.

      “Both Ron and Dan cite Benson as a figure influential to their politics. Dan actually requested that Benson intervene in his excommunication proceedings and later subpoenaed Benson to testify in his defence at the murder trial (motion quashed).”

    • I’m not sure Tara understands what she was allowed to do even to this day. She wrote: “You can use social media but can not talk about the trial.” It’s more than talking. She wasn’t supposed to watch or read or listen to anything about the trial either. The way she seems to understand it would make watching, reading and listening OK.
      As for Tara not seeing any remorse from Jodi. She obviously was daydreaming the day Jodi was crying and the tears were dripping off her chin onto her shirt or maybe she put it down to Jodi feeling sorry for herself. Plus, any juror that thinks they can read a defendant’s or anyone emotions by looking at them is not very bright. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t and sometimes you’re dead wrong about what they’re feeling. But, you hear jurors do it all the time. “Their eyes were so cold” “They looked disinterested.” And, you know defendants are aware they have to cry or look sad or remorseful b/c there’s a chance they’ll be convicted for not displaying the “correct” emotions during trial.

  14. Enrique Cortez on NG explained why they couldn’t detect any odor. His only explanation was that it was a big house, the bedroom was big and there was a loft between their bedrooms. He did nothing to explain why the detectives smelled it as soon as they opened the door. NG just accepted this and moved on. Normally, she would have ranted and raved for at least 10 minutes how that was impossible.

    • It is impossible! Never could have happened. Brings up horrible memories of when my freezer died full of fish. . .It was in my basement and we have 3 stories it was unbearable! Also, with AC on it would have been through out the house in minutes , if not seconds! 🙄 Another thing that bothered me was the absence of fly larvae on the body. It was just like some one had him in a refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. Explain that one Enrique Cortez and Nancy Grace. Duh? Huh?

      • I agree! It’s totally impossible for a body – in the middle of AZ heat – to NOT smell! Even around my area where it’s all forest woods you can smell a dead animal (and it’s outdoors!) from a long distance. Imagine a closed house! I’m sorry to be blunt BUT a 5 days corpse of a human being must’ve stank sooooooo much that it would have been unbearable to live in that house!

        Please remind me someone: Where was the dog? If I remember correctly, he was in the house! Dogs’ sense of smell is 10x stronger than humans! The dog should’ve been going crazy! Especially smelling his ‘master’!!!

  15. I’ve added one more piece to the “Judicial Injustices” section of my “Reasonable Doubt” site, calling out Lifetime Network. And in that same section I added a link to a page entitled “Lifetime Movie: What They Got Wrong”. I just finished watching it so my current list is still a work in progress. (I bought the DVD, not because I wanted to give those SOB’s my money but because I wanted to be able to watch it (when I felt I could actually stomach it) in order to create a list of all the things they got wrong.)

    http://justice4jodi.wikispaces.com/Judicial+Injustices

    • Justus,

      A lot of movies have their script posted on the net. Can make it quicker & easier to go through. Plus, you can just copy any quotes you need easily. But, I don’t know if Lifetime movies would have their scripts posted b/c of their “lower than dirt” quality.

    • Good Job Justus! ♥ Once again you covered it very well!! I hope you can recover from watching that poor excuse of a made for t v movie. I never watched it, I knew it was packed full of lies. 🙄

  16. I just read a tweet where one juror watched ‘the movie’ over the weekend after he was admonished last week. I guess he didn’t want to be on the jury. At least he was honest, which is the second best thing they can be.

    🙄

  17. What is the worth of a soul?
    Jesus said that a human soul is worth more than the whole world. “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
    Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 8:36–37, NKJV). There’s nothing more valuable—a soul is eternal, and its worth is beyond measure.

    Those who find themselves wanting the death penalty for Jodi should stop and think are they sealing their own fate also. Jodi Ann Arias is an innocent young woman. . .what would be wrong with showing her mercy? There is Reasonable Doubt everywhere. . . those of you who are throwing stones, opene your eyes. It is never too late to make a difference in your life or someone else’s.

    • Unfortunately R, many people have forgotten what kindness, sympathy and forgiveness means. They crave for revenge in the most ugliest, vile way….

  18. “Be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble” (1 Peter 3:8).

    • It’s true! There is a supporter that goes to the court every day! And why not!???? It means a lot to Jodi!

  22. Juror 82 got to stay. She’s the one who’s sister in law was friends with Jodi, and ALSO the one who said she knew 2 people who were stalked and killed. Monica Lindstrom says she seemed to be trying harder than most to stay on the jury.

      • Jeff Gold just commented that Jodi’s royal blue shirt is sheerer than he realized – speculates she wore it for potential male viewers. What an ass.

          • Yah – that comment about her neck!

            And he’s the one who says this shouldn’t be a DP case!

            • I doubt very seriously that Jodi was able to pick out her own clothes for this! What about her neck? I missed that.

              • And it looks like we may not be able to count on Kiefer through jury selection.

                This show is in town for the next two weeks, folks, #jodiarias jury selection. I’m out of here for now.

                • Troy didn’t even go. I don’t mind him. I know Maria doesn’t like him, but I find him okay. We’re left with scoopy and her friends and now BK is in town. Next NG & JVM will be moving in front of the courthouse with their tents.

                • The only decent person we relied on to keep us updated (Kiefer) is out so we’re left with the trashy ones. Great, just great! 🙄

                • She is probably the best one. There is a cutie from LA, but all he was covering this morning was the double chocolate that he had on his chin that no one told him about.

                  :D:

                • Lindstrom has written: “I’m emotionally fine with the death penalty.” Not exactly hating but it’s pretty cold.

                • She’s a former prosecutor as well as a former defense attorney – I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s encountered a few of the ‘worst of the worst’.

                  I am not *completely* opposed to the death penalty — when there is positive PROOF that someone is a mass-murderer (like MeVeigh) or a serial killer (like Dahmer), I think I could agree to it as a juror – if this country ever again figures out a way to do it humanely.

        • Jeff Gold is a creepy guy! He doesn’t like Jodi and tries to ‘save face’ by making 1 or 2 nice comments.

          The only person I respect is Michael Kiefer! He is what a journalist should be: neutral. He sticks to the important stuff. He has never stated whether he is pro or against Jodi. I like that. Nowadays, that is really rare in journalism!

          ((((Michael Kiefer))))) ♥

  23. You’ve probably seem Kiefer’s (2nd tweet at the bottom) but it almost sounds like he’s getting tired of all the hateful bullying of Jodi. Whatever, I loved his question. To me he was saying just b/c you believe in the death penalty, you don’t have to vote for it automatically. There were 4 jurors on Jodi’s first trial who must have said they believe in the DP but they didn’t vote for it when it came crunch time.

    Court still going-Parties arguing over an interview of a defense witness that resides in New Zealand #JodiArias

    WTH?

    • Hey Carol – you didn’t finish that kindle book about the ex-Mormon, did you?

      He lives in New Zealand now.

        • Well, you probably remember from those first chapters that he spent the first years in his memory there – part of a Mormon community there. The book doesn’t say how he ended up back there, just gives an epilogue that he lives there now with a new wife and young daughter. Guess his first three daughters are still in Utah.

            • eh- it wasn’t all that great. After the first half, where I got a better insider view of the Mormon church, I was kinda bored, and in the end I didn’t think much of the author, going all new-agey and walking out on his family. I get that the split had to happen, because the wife was so entrenched in the church and he wanted to distance himself from it. But he had a responsibility to be a father to those children and he up and moved to the east coast.

              When I got the book it was free. I wouldn’t recommend spending money on it.

  25. Tweet for alan regarding the literacy of lawyers. Note how Mr. Gold wasted one of his limited twitter characters on an unnecessary apostrophe.

    Jeffrey Evan Gold @jeffgoldesq · 9m 9 minutes ago
    #JodiArias let’s her hair down at end of this long jury selection session. Bring out the wine and cheese.

    • of course, it could be that the batteries in their various devices have all died…. Monica tweeted awhile ago that her computer battery was gone, guess she’s been on her phone ever since.

    • must be over – Gold is tweeting now about watching RHWONJ – Andy Kohen with the two newly convicted

  26. Scoopy on JVM said the interesting jurors from yesterday were a psychologist, the woman who knows Jodi’s family and the woman who saw her do the headstand. Most are being dismissed because they are too rigid on either side of the issue of death penalty, not too many people in the mid-ground that they need.

  27. Monica tweeted that it seems like most of the jurors that made the cut so far seem to be women. Someone tweeted to her that that may not be good for Jodi.

  28. HLN coverage of the motion was that according to JJ and MB dismissed the video and tweets as non-existent or made up by Jodi supporters. JS, your site got some attention with the art and the letters of donation, which again, really must be made up by the supporters.

    JVM’s coverage of Corinna’s video and tweets was that JVM found the video to be “bizarre” “happy music” , in other words not impressed, but they could not confirm that it belonged to her. Lisa Bloom was the guest who took most issue, with the others saying it happens all the time. Lisa said if the detective’s wife had done this, “she was a complete idiot”, but that it can be easily fixed by just asking the jurors if they had seen it. JVM called the tweets bizarre, but didn’t mention the subject matter, ie the lead detective and part of his investigation, the prosecutor, the judge’s assistant, the jury, evidence from sealed court hearings about that jury, the defence and prosecutor’s decisions about the sex tape, the issue of the “forged” letters, the Hughes’ emails and their access to Travis’ ………

    JVM seemed surprised that there was such a thing as a hate campaign against Jodi, when their network is right in the middle of the whole thing.

    🙄 🙄 🙄

    • Really???? She was surprised??? Wasn’t she the one that day in – day out bashed Jodi, was sarcastic all the time and spewed her venom about Jodi??? Jaaaaane!!!! Were you hitting the bottle again? Have you forgotten? I can find tons of videos proving that JVM along with NG and VP were captains of the hate campaign!

    • “There is nothing more dangerous than liars who believe their own lies and think they are telling the truth.”
      ___ Prabhuji

  29. Yea right JVM! You are one of the worst of the worst!!! SHAME ON YOU AND HLN! TRASH TV !!

  30. Canada Carol, I saw that segment on the video by detective’s wife…..in my opinion, they (HLN) left out the most important information –that would be the tweeting from the detective’s wife. That info left me with the greatest impact— from her attempts to influence the public. A comment other than that is to read a face book comment on the other site from a woman who would like to see Jodi stabbed 29 times. I just couldn’t believe my eyes that I was reading that. This woman is supposed to be a loving upstanding family person. What the he__ is that? I cannot help but think how much trouble our world is in because of the hatred that consumes people. Don’t usually comment but have been here since the beginning. I just had to point out that. I was so taken aback!

    • They are all acting like a bunch of ostriches when it comes to the tweets. I can’t see them…………… they aren’t real …………

  31. The atmosphere is feisty this morning. JW is questioning and Juan is objecting. Sidebars. Jodi tried to speak and kermit shut her down. I hope that was not in front of the potential jurors. Juan seems to ride JW with objections all the time.

    • Jeffrey Evan Gold @jeffgoldesq · now 14 seconds ago

          • ha – just noticed that Gold did “let’s” again

            anyone with a twitter account that can tweet him the rule for the 3rd person singular of the present simple tense ?

    • Apparently Jodi tried to file a motion this morning and Kermit shut her down saying she’s not representing herself. Something about another judge to hear it…….

    • So kermit and pickles are back to their old selves again!!!! It’s like a fucking wrestling ring in that courtroom: with Juan and Sherry being the tag team! WWE SMACKDOWN!

      And kermit should learn some manners! Fucking aggressive frog! If he was like this since he was in school, I’m guessing he got his ass whipped by the other children there quite often! Nobody likes a whiny bitchin’ frog!

      As for pickles? She’s just a lost cause all together! Useless and unprofessional!

        Coming to Phoenix is probably her best shot of getting a few more viewers.

    I’ve spent the last week sitting just feet away from #jodiarias and honestly, she never, ever shows any emotion

    Dave Erickson should watch the trial. She is trying to pick a jury.

    • And Monica Lindstrom agreed with that statement. 🙄

      Have they watched the freaking trial????
      Why should she start crying/show emotions, FFS? It’s the Jury Selection!

      • Jodi is doing the right thing. . .give them a stone face. It doesn’t matter what her expressions are right now, just don’t give them fuel for their fires! They have watched the trial that was held in the media and amongst themselves. . .that is were all the facts got their start. The truth has not been heard yet.

        • She may be doing it purposefully – lots of comment last week about how stricken she looked when so many were so apparently against her.

        • If she smiles, they say she’s up to her same old tricks, if she cries they say she is faking it and if she tries to remain passive, they say she shows no emotion. It reminds of an old fable about people never being satisfied.

          • Exactly Carol! They will never be satisfied with whatever Jodi does.

            I’m sure that Jodi is so scared and feels so humiliated. She’s like on exhibition and she is not allowed to speak, to show emotion, to turn around and look at whoever is sitting behind her… She has to sit still and hope that people don’t vote to kill her! Does anyone really think that she is feeling great and peachy????!!!!!! GMAFB!

      • It is pathetic that they don’ t understand basic psychology; Jodi has had to cope with enormous burdens past, and present and will have to for the future, and her psyche has to regulate energy so she can cope.
        Those people make no effort to understand; it’s all a big gossip party for them.

    Last female juror of the day says her co worker are yappin about #jodiarias

  66. I don’t know what the best makeup of the jury would be. But, I get a lot of hateful tweets & it seems women who (appear to) use their real name want Jodi to die. They’re not hiding behind a twitter name (or handle), they want people to know who they are and Jodi should die, according to them. In fact, most of the people that responded to me early on wanted her to die. Lately, I’ve had a few more moderate people say life in prison for Jodi would OK with them. These people may not be hard core haters though b/c I’ve been directing my tweets recently toward the people of Arizona (or trying to).

  67. Hi All, I’m glad that Jodi’s back in the news, I love her and miss her so much. Hugs to you all! Maureen

  68. Reading all the tweets I am wondering: how is the jury pool going to be fair when social media, tv and journalism is stirring up the pot about Jodi again…

    People are going to hear things! They are going to want to read about what they experienced in the courtroom… they will be tempted to read replies and comments… they will be tempted to talk with their family and friends about their experience with the ‘HOTTEST TRIAL IN USA’… they are going to watch the latest gossip on HLN or any other trashy tv channel…

    Do you think for a minute that this will be a fair and impartial jury? Even if the jurors want to be unbiased, it is IMPOSSIBLE! If they are not sequestered, there is no way that they can avoid any conversation or news referring to the trial and to Jodi.

    Good luck with that!

    • The ‘justice’ system can PRETEND.
      It can pretend no one is pretending when or if a jury member takes a vow, but pretends to be impartial.
      And even if a jury member truly intends to be impartial, one can not really know IF he is impartial, since after one has already been influenced, how can a person ever definitively know whether or not unconsciously he is influenced?
      How can a person pretend he has not seen what he has seen, nor heard what he has heard?
      When in a court of law, a prosecutor ( knowing full well what he is doing), can say and do things that he knows are not legally admissable, ( and he certainly counts upon their impact upon the jury), the judge, ( whose job it is to make sure the quest for truth is protected), can pretend that telling jurors to ignore or not factor in those inadmissable ploys, can enable jurors to vacate the contents of their consciousness.

      There is no disembodied “I” separate from reality. Reality is all of one piece, and likewise an individual and his consciousness are all of one piece.
      The person trying to separate himself from himself, is attempting the impossible.

  69. Sadly, I think it will be nearly impossible to find an impartial, fair jury. It seems to me that everyone so far has formed an opinion or knows something about Jodi Arias or the trial. How can they be fair? Sadly they can’t. But maybe this will be good for Jodi in the long run, it will be good for Jodi’s appeal.
    (((((JODI))))) ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

    Ray in H-burg Va.

    • My lovely brother Ray, it might be good for Jodi in her appeals but imagine how it must feel, knowing that you are one of the most hated people in the USA (and not only). There are waaaaaayyyyy worse crimes made out there that don’t even make it on the news.

      And the humiliation knowing that people judge her whole existence from this single thing. One would think that people would actually sympathize to a woman that fought for her life in self defense – not wanting her dead… It goes to show how naive people are when it comes to humans standing up for their lives! They only understand what Jodi must’ve went through ONLY if they’ve been in the hands of a manipulating abusive person!

    • And we all say AMEN to that one CC! We are there with you, JODI, all around you. . .feel our LOVE! We send our love, concern and sincere prayers for you . . .we are HERE. . . we are there. . . we are everywhere . . . ♥

    • interesting link, good find and thanks for posting. So true, the internet torch and pitchfork mobs definitely adds fuel to today’s mobs on the streets and court house steps.

  70. If you get a chance check out the execution of Cameron Todd Willoughby in Huntsville, Texas. He was convicted of burning his house down with his three children in it and put to death. The fire fighters called it a satanic killing based on the pattern of the burns in the house and on his Megadeath posters. Later as he sat on death row, forensic fire scientists revealed that the pattern was due to a “flash fire”. A jailhouse snitch initially stated that Todd confessed in jail. This man recanted and then changed his statement again and has now recanted again. Totally unreliable and using the system. Well Todd was executed. Now the preponderance of evidence indicates he was not guilty. But the execution of course makes it final. This documentary was on Front line last night.

    • David Milgaard, one of the more famous Canadians wrongfully convicted, spent 23 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit before his innocence was proven. Thank God we did not given him the death penalty. There are too many more just like him.

    • Tragic. Ironic that the real criminals and “Satanists” are the ones doing the accusing and executing.
      Maybe there are such studies already in existence, but I would really like to read a book of research on the varied people who accuse and prosecute people they call “Satanists”.
      And I would like to learn how many, if any, of the accused, could ever be considered to actually fit that description.

    • It absolutely does. And it also makes what is good and true and beautiful resonate most strongly.

  80. I love this one (by the intelligent guy whom Juan desperately wants to get rid of): ““If I started automatically with the death penalty (as opposed to life) then why am I here?” (I’d really like to have beer with this guy! I sure hope he makes it through.) He voices the very backward direction this whole thing has gone. Juan first demands that Jodi prove her innocence and now he wants her to prove to 12 people whom he wants to start from the death penalty and work backwards that she actually deserves to live. It’s all so insane!

    • I’d like to see him make it through, too, but I doubt Martinez will let it happen. He’ll be saving a challenge in his pocket for this guy.

      Did you see the caricature Dave put up, briefly? It was a picture of someone else, or maybe just some random cartoon, but Dave said it really looked like him. I was going to link you, but it’s gone now.

    • I also like what he said about the media coverage, that he saw where the commentators were “swaying” the audience based on their speculation. I’d like to think that’s what I would have said. In your face HLN! And you too, Juan!

  85. It certainly is a good thing that people don’t become as ugly as the words that they use. The language they use on twitter makes TA sound like a little old lady at a tea party.

  86. Jodi’s private detective was just on JVM. JVM couldn’t get him to say anything bad about Jodi, or any scoop at all really – except that he is working for Jodi on her APPEAL!

    • Oh, and he said there WOULD be appeals, regardless of the sentence.

      Which is GREAT news, considering the last we heard there wouldn’t be an appeal unless she got the DP and the state paid for it.

      • It was surprising and interesting to see him on JVM. She says he’s going to be a regular. He looks like a good person to have on your team.

        • I sure hope he has Jodi’s OK for that gig.

          If he can remain a sane and reasonable voice for her, I guess it could be a good thing.

          • He’s a no nonsense kind of guy. I’m sure he okayed it with Jodi. He sure reinforced the difficulty between Nurmi & Jodi though. He won’t let JVM get to him.

      • This IS great news!!! (about the appeals!). Let’s just get over with the circus trial and get down to serious business.

  87. You know, Jodi shouldn’t really have to be going through this nonsense of selecting a jury for a penalty phase!!!!!!! There is NO PENALTY!!! This is PURE NONSENSE!!! Jodi should never have been convicted of ANYTHING in the first place!!! I can hardly believe this is actually being allowed to take place!!! SOMEONE in the higher US Court System needs to look into this trial and STOP IT NOW!!!

    FREE JODI ANN ARIAS, AZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    JODI ANN ARIAS is INNOCENT!!!!!!!

    • How true Maja! Jodi should have been acquitted, freed with time served! SELF DEFENSE has nothing to do with serving time! She did what every other human being would have done: protected her life! But you know, in shitzona they have their own ‘Lady Justice’ peaking from her blindfold… and the scales of equality? Let’s just say that ‘some hands’ are playing with the weights on them….

      • YES, Pandora, you are SO RIGHT!! Jodi should have been acquitted from day one! She shouldn’t have even been arrested or had to serve ANY time!!! Why doesn’t anyone in the higher courts do something about this??? What on earth is WRONG with the JUSTICE SYSTEM??? If we, lay people, can figure it out, you would HONESTLY think that EDUCATED CRIMINAL JUSTICE scholars could EASILY figure out the injustice going on here in AZ in the JODI ANN ARIAS TRIAL for HEAVEN”S SAKE!!! They need to READ HERE AT JAII!

        JODI ANN ARIAS WAS WRONGFULLY CONVICTED AND ARRESTED!

        FREE JODI ANN ARIAS, AZ!

        JODI ANN ARIAS IS INNOCENT!
