   • Congrats on 1st….

   • Congrats on #1 MJS. GOOD MORNING TEAM JODI! STILL PRAYING FOR JODI………

     Proverbs 22:22-23

     Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Or crush the afflicted at the gate; For the LORD will plead their case And take the life of those who rob them.

2. Wow, I cannot believe this is taking so long. I cannot imagin how Jodi and her family are handling this, it must be gut wrenching.

   Praying for the best outcome.

3. Mitigating factors #5 and #6 have to do with the emotional and physical abuse Jodi suffered at the hands of TA. So if those were the questions that the jury had that caused JSS to issue the impasse instructions, I wonder what that means as far as the jury is concerned. And I wonder what their specific questions were regarding those factors. I suppose time will tell.

   • Morning D … perhaps the questions had something to do with asking how she got the premeditated murder out of self , defense and the judge cannot answer that, if indeed the questions had to do with those specific mitigating factors. The judge only said the questions were complex. If someone truly feels she suffered at the very least psychological abuse at his hands then there is no way they should vote for the death penalty. Perhaps some of them are seeing how the family is and realizes the apple does not fall far from the tree and believe Jodi.

4. Good morning….
   SJ I guess I don’t understand what you were saying about who pays for Jodi’s appeals. I thought that if the verdict was the DP the state of AZ pays. If it’s hung it’s falls back to JSS it will either be LWOP or 25 to life. So if JSS gives LWOP the state still pays????

   • Hi Cindy!

     Yes… DP = the State pays… Life or LWOP = the State will pay for a BS-quality lawyer – hence the latter option morphs into Jodi needing $$$’s to hire more competent representation for the appeals. That’s the way I see it at this point anyways. This is why I call it a verdict to find out “who’s gonna pay”.

     • SJ thank you…oh and I think your words help!!!!!!!

5. Maybe….just…. maybe the lifers are convincing the grim reapers to vote for life instead….THAT could take a while!

   • Nice thought but…we will see!!!

     • Good Morning Cindy! One can hope!

   • But if that’s the case, why bother convincing them since a hung jury accomplishes the same thing?

6. I have a question for anyone who knows. Who decides when to declare a jury hung – is it the foreperson? Also does a juror have the ability to circumvent the foreperson?

   I really see no reason for a person against the DP trying to convince anyone to change their mind because a single holdout takes the DP off the table. But if the foreperson calls the shots, and he/she is pro DP I can see them not letting this move forward. In the last trial the foreperson was against the DP for Jodi and so one can see how that got to the hung jury scenario pretty quickly after the Allen charge. But this time around it just seems ridiculous.

   So assume we get into a situation where someone on the jury says not only am I not going to vote to make some decision unanimous, but I am also not going to allow a report of a hung jury to get to the judge. What happens then?

   Oh and since I haven’t done this in a long long time, here’s some morning music

   • Oh Al, I’ve missed you….Ripple…..awesome! Anyway, My thinking was more psychological rather than legal…this jury sat through a lot of BS and they may feel strongly about finishing what they started. Lord, I hope there isn’t some yahoo holding up progress!

   • Al, geez I always looked to you for these kind of questions…I just think there has to come a point when they realize that they can not agree. If anyone is holding them more or less hostage that’s when they should contact the judge. I would take it there is no agreement.

     Thanks for the tones..

     • Seems to me the Judge is holding them all hostage….

   • Thanks AL, . . . .there is a fountain that was not made by hands of man……… Loved it!

     • Morning ((((R.)))). Snowed in??

       Well I’m off for a few hours…
       My Gods hands be on Jodi and her family today!!!!

       • AMEN Cindy!!! This is getting to be a rather huge ordeal. . .it appears they will never end this trial to hold back the Appeals that they know will be headed their way. Shame on them.

         Yesterday it was in the 70s, (opened windows and let fresh air in 🙂 ) windy and now today it is raining cats and dogs, followed by ice and then snow headed our way. Our weather is CRAZY as ARIZONA!!!! Well, maybe not. SMH

         • Well be careful out there. Spring is on it’s way!!!

   • Oh Bro hows the weather there??

   • thanks for the tunes Al… and I would take you home.. )

     That is a scary thought. A juror held hostage and bullied because of their vote would be a crime? I guess if I were in that position I would have to make a loud stink..

     I think that whatever decision they come to, this farce of a trial is so twisted that the courts will look at this case for along time.

7. Morning all. Cannot believe we are still here one week later…

8. I’ve met a lot of women around the world, and I can honestly say that JODI is a strong woman….. because she has been thrown to the wolves, and there’s no doubt in my mind that she will return leading the pack. I guess behind every beautiful woman is a dumbass guy who did her wrong and made her strong.

   • Joe, you have that right!!!!

   • Jodi Arias is way better than Travis Alexander ever hoped to be IMO. Jodi is a kind, thoughtful, compassionate, intelligent, talented and gifted young woman. Travis and his friends were totally below her in all areas of outstanding character. . .that is why they never accepted her into their tiny closed minded circle. Thank You Lord for protecting her and giving her the strength to deal with these injustices day after day!!! ♥JODI♥

     • Good Morning All !!
       Totally, agree R. Love 🙂

9. Good morning Team Jodi. Tons of snow here, what else is new?

   • 🙁 I’m sorry ((((((Vicky))))))) ♥

   • And you people think the Midwest is bad……sorry my friend I know it’s getting very old…..

10. morning everyone hope you all have the comfort foods at hand if needed, smokes if needed, coffee if needed or anything else necessary to help get through the day 🙂

    • To that end, I’m going to have to make a short provisions trip this morning – more ice coming our way this afternoon and expected to hang around through tomorrow.

      I shouldn’t have any trouble getting back here before the jurors have had much more than an hour of deliberation time.

      See y’all later.

      • Oh I would rather have the cold and sunny then what all of you are getting..Yikes!!!

        I think your right you will be back before the jury reaches a verdict!! I’m sitting here while mom gets her nails done….Hoping that’s all I have to do for today!!! But then again we could sit all day and not hear anything….better to keep busy I guess..

11. Good morning, everyone. Welcome back, Al. I missed your thoughtful and reasoned comments. For some reason when you drop a line, Jerry Garcia’s face always pops into my mind. 😆 I especially liked the song this morning.

12. BB,
    As to conversation last night, have I finally understood your point? JSS used the Impasse Instruction (also called the Dynamite charge or Allen charge) when she should have used the Capital Case Instruction, a milder, less coercise instruction. Am I getting close?

    • Yes, as I understand it….the capital case instruction would be a far milder instruction…..although I don’t know what the attorneys agreed on….and it could be that KN and JM agreed on some form or combo of both those sets of instructions….all I know is that he objected and JM had no objections and that he requested a mistrial which of course was denied….all on record of course as KN is making a record for appeals….

13. Some idiot woman has encouraged other haters to send money to inmates to their “commissary account” in Perryville to get Jodi if she doesn’t get the death penalty. Pitchforks has some tweets about this woman on her Twitter account. This woman has been “reported.” Probably more sour grapes than a real threat but I hope she really has been reported. You can’t go around making threats against people. Anyway, Jodi will not have contact with other prisoners at Perryville for some time. And, apparently, prisoners at Sheriff Joe’s dungeon liked Jodi.

    • Yes, exactly. To paraphrase what a lady there said, “If she hadn’t defended herself, she wouldn’t be here”. That is literally the truth.

      • Omg truer statement has never been said!!!

14. Hi everyone! My love and positive energy to Jodi, her defense team and Sandy who has been by Jodi’s side since day 1 and remains brave although she is living her worse nightmare.
