    Nurmi has the projector on and puts up a picture of jodi and travis #jodiarias

    William Pitts ‏@william_pitts 2m2 minutes ago
    “a tale of infinite sadness” — Nurmi used that phrase in opening, now again in closing. #JodiArias

  4. Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer 2m2 minutes ago
    He tells them the story of Jodi Arias and Travis Alexander is a sad one, then shows a photo of them together when, he says, it was not sad.

    Jarrett Seltzer ‏@JarrettSeltzer 2m2 minutes ago
    Nurmis pace is rather slow and calm right now, “the question is do you kill this woman, do you kill jodi arias” #jodiarias

    Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer 2m2 minutes ago
    Then Nurmi goes to 2008, “When he (Alexander) was killed by the woman he loved, Jodi Arias.” Then asks, “Will you kill Jodi Arias?”

    Jarrett Seltzer ‏@JarrettSeltzer 2m2 minutes ago
    the picture of jodi and travis remains on the screen #jodiarias

    KN- This is a sad tale…. Kirk is now mentioning the Alexanders impact statements and what they said #jodiarias #3tvarias

    He refers to Alexander’s brother’s victim impact statement. “The pain is real,” Nurmi says.

  6. Tammy Rose ‏@News20Chopper 1m1 minute ago
    Nurmi says a jury found the murder in a cruel manner and while #JodiArais is eligible for death doesn’t mean she should get it.

    Monica Lindstrom ‏@monicalindstrom 1m1 minute ago
    Both jury instructions and #KirkNurmi tell the jury they have to put their emotions aside when making the judgment…that is HARD #JodiArias

    Jen’s Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ 1m1 minute ago
    KN- The reason Arias is eligible for DP is because the jury came back with the fact it was a cruel crime..#jodiarias #3tvarias

    Monica Lindstrom ‏@monicalindstrom 36s36 seconds ago
    Defense focusing on telling the jurors they each can make their own moral decision #JodiArias

  10. I almost believe that these closing arguments do more harm than good bc the jurors are now listening to these arguments which are not evidence and instead they should only focus on the evidence that was presented to them…just wait until JM gets up and does his war dance and whips up the emotion….

  11. Tammy Rose ‏@News20Chopper 22s23 seconds ago
    Nurmi is asking jury what is your own moral assessment? And goes to say you shouldn’t be swayed by anyone else. #JodiArias

    #JodiArias Atty Kirk Nurmi tells jurors to go their own way — don’t have to agree with other jurors “You have that right” #abc15

    • And this is where some jurors lose their way and allow the majority of the jurors to sway them and pressure them and even bully them into changing their mind…….

      • I have no doubt there will be BULLIES in that deliberation room. There was in the trial on which I was a juror and that wasn’t even a murder case, never mind a DP case!

    Tammy Rose ‏@News20Chopper 2m2 minutes ago
    You can consider #JodiArias’ age as having the ability to be manipulated. Nurmi says that’s a mouthful, isn’t it?

  30. Tammy ‏@tmhco 2m2 minutes ago

    Say what you want about Sandy Arias but she is doing what most mothers would do. Taking a bullet for her child. #JodiArias

    ^^^Thank you.

    • I think Tammy is implying that Sandy is “taking the bullet” because she (Tammy) doesn’t believe Jodi suffered abuse by Sandy. ?

      • I think you might be right about Tammy’s interpretation, Dorothy.
        People in this world need to stop minimizing, belittling, mocking, and out- right refusing to believe people who claim they were abused as a child.
        This hateful attitude, in my opinion, partly arises from an absurd kind of envy of anyone receiving compassion.

  31. Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer 1m1 minute ago

    Nurmi keeps repeating phrases like “a girl whose fate is in your hands.” #jodiarias

      • Jodi is emotionally young for her age. That is part of BPD. I think it’s very smart of KN to be using DeMorte as much as possible. How can the kermit argue with his own witness?

          • Amy, I do agree with you. In the various scenarios in which I picture Jodi, she has been the “chess piece” with the smallest helping of the available power. From childhood on. She has assumed the role of caregiver that has kept these various collaborative shipwrecks afloat. Over and over, her journaling is a reflection of her thought processes of being the “acommodator,” the one who puts their preference 2nd to other. I’ve been in this room before; I’ve seen these walls; and I’ve walked this floor. The stamp on your forehead signifies your oath never to violate your subservient role. If you do, you are responsible for the abuse you deserve. OMG

    Nurmi now talking about how Travis witnessed domestic violence as a child.

      • Yes: he certainly did NOT overcome it.
        Even if he had never met Jodi, the very fact that his psyche could allow him to verbalize wanting to tie a woman to a tree while he anally ‘raped’ her __ even that alone is a major indicator that TA was violent.

        Tweets don’ t give the whole picture though; they just try to briefly summarize, so ‘overcoming’ might have been expressed differently and with context/ connotations we are not privy to.

        • Amy, the text “expression” thing is irking me…good journalism requires accuracy in quoting. This texting business is throwing all of that out the window. UUH

  78. Thinking Jodi suffered abuse from the Hughes for their bizarre treatment. . .first they were friends and then they were sneaking around talking crap behind her back. Jodi was abused by the friends also. Scum.

    • I even read a TA supporter’s comment stating that the Hughes had no right to interfere with TA’s decisions regarding his love life/ relationships.

      Talk about not respecting boundaries and being intrusive; that characterizes the Hughes’ behavior.

      ( P.S.: I think it is uncommon to have friends that are SO overbearing that they try to interfere with [maybe even ruin] another person’s relationship.

  89. I think KN’s doing a beautiful job –

    and that if he’d showed this level of understanding the first time around Jodi would be a free woman today

  90. Absolutely no mention of the trial on HLN so far.
    It has been my white noise in the background. . .sizzle. UGH!

  91. Interesting that all the major players involved with Martinez have suffered personal “hits” in this trial:
    Flores – reputation tarnished & meaningful career possibly over.
    Horn, DeMarte & Melendez – reputation tarnished & career ???
    Martinez – reputation & career even stronger on the surface (although under close examination we see what a nasty, hateful little man he really is. He is another man with “issues.”)

    • Do you think Martinez is appearing to be stronger??? I don’t think I do. He truly comes across as a Master Manipulator and LIAR!

      • But he will undoubtedly pull the action movie tactic of loud noise and visual effects to divert the jurors from his lack of plot and substance….and our society ENJOYS those action films despite their lack of plot, they become box office hits. That is what is frightening.

      • R,
        No, I don’t don’t think he’s stronger personally but I think the general public will see him that way until he is disbarred or charged with misconduct. Something concrete that shows him for what he really is and the damage he is doing to the Arizona’s “justice system” and to Arizona’s reputation in general.

        • Okay then . . .we are still on the same page 😉 I wouldn’t be surprised to see him flip his table or something dramatic like that. . .he is such an a** hole! Throw a chair! Slap Juror #1. Who knows what CRAP he will pull! JERK WAD!

    • I read Flores’s son died in a zip-line accident a month or so ago. The article said he and another kid decided to launch themselves before the guide had secured the brake ropes.
      Anyone else hear about that?

  92. Wouldn’t it be funny if someone let a little frog into the court room and it started croaking when Juan opened his mouth! 😆 Sorry, I’m getting nervous.

    • I think it must have been about not allowing JM to state to the jury that Jodi would possibly get out if she was given life thereby trying to scare the jurors into giving her the DP……

      • Plus I believe he was not allowed to assert that the aggravating factor was proven bc it was NOT proven at all…….

        • I’m sure the jurors are familiar with LWOP, if that is what you mean, but if JM gets up and scares them into believing that Jodi would get out if they don’t give her the DP then this is what is absolutely not allowed. Jurors are not to consider such things in their decisions regarding sentencing…

    • I heard from a news source, that it was because Jodi was not going to do an allocution. That was the big chance for them to put on their act for any jury member who happened to look their way.

      🙄 😥 :schock:

      • I don’t know……allocution benefits Jodi, not the state….and in fact, the jurors are not supposed to take into consideration the fact that she did not speak to them…..but they may in their own minds count that against her that she did not beg for her life….Jodi was right to state on the record that she did indeed want to allocute but that she could not unless the public was removed…again this is in reference to the threats that she has received and being unable to speak freely due to those threats…….this should be a point on appeal…..the fact that she was threatened, her mitigation witnesses were threatened, and she was not allowed a full mitigation defense….it will be part of the appeals

        • So that leaves me still wondering about the 3 witnesses we did not hear from this week….perhaps it is just as simple as Journee stated earlier, that they had nothing that would directly address JM’s rebuttal……..but I would still think they would have brought them in and worked in their testimony somehow…….this is the end of litigation on this matter and this is their last chance to litigate the porn issue with this jury……it will definitely be part of the appeals but for this jury it is the last chance…

  93. There’s still doubt in my mind that we don’t know enough about what went on in Alexander’s house that day.

    Any comments?

        • Until Jodi says differently, it doesn’t matter. It’s Jodi’s responsibility, self-defense and all.

          • johnm, Jodi does not recall much of what happened that day either from blunt force trauma to the head or from memory missing due to psychological trauma…what ever the cause of the memory loss…we will not hear it from her.

        • If the intruder scenario (which is consistent with her testimony) is accurate, said intruders might be dead or imprisoned. Jodi did say “yes” in response to Wilmont’s question “Did you kill Travis?”. Possibly she felt responsible and did not directly kill him herself, but that seems like a stretch at this point.

    • Lots of questions left that may never get answered unfortunately. My comments on this go back to the interrogation she underwent – over 14 hours alone in that room. There have been some great posts by Jade poking lots of holes. But what does it matter? The defense went with DV and everything went that way instead of NG. Perhaps there was an appellate attorney willing to take the case on DV being the basis of an appeal. What happened in that house over 5 days remains a mystery; no time of death from the medical examiner, no smell for 5 days (come on!!) no weapons, DNA that is just a mixture, no fingerprints on the washer… I will have to believe what I believe and let the courts do their thing.

  94. These people sitting in court thinking this is over sure have a rude awakening coming…..

    Have you all noticed that not one of TA’s other girlfriends have shown up?? No one but good old Deanna….. Hummm why is that I wonder??
