Trial Day 5 – January 10th, 2013 [REPLAY]

Published on

.
Day 5 of the trial includes testimony from Nathan Mendes, Lisa Perry, Gloria Esteban & Jodi Legg.

This day also includes the first of many Motions for Mistrial and Dismissal Requests from Kirk Nurmi. These are in direct relation to the ever-changing sequence of events stated by Gloria Esteban, coupled with his award winning inability to remember what Kermit had told him to say regarding his conversations (or lack thereof) with Kevin “Typo” Horn… and compounded further by his earlier false testimony at the pre-trial hearing – [more info here].

Happy New Year peeps!!!

With 2014 now underway, I thought this would be a good time to re-watch the trial from last year. So it kicks off again today with video of Trial Day 1 and Jennifer Willmott’s Opening Statements from this day last year, January 2nd, 2013, together with audio from the Prosecution’s Opening Statements, plus Marie Hall & Sterling Williams’ testimonies.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Trial Day 1 – January 2nd, 2013:

Defense Opening Statements:

[hdplay id=114 width=500 height=300]

DAY 1 – Audio Only:

Prosecution – Opening Statements
Defense – Opening Statements
Marie Hall (friend of TA)
Sterling Williams (patrol officer)

[hdplay id=2 width=500 height=300]

Defense attorney Jennifer Willmott began her opening statement by telling the jury Arias killed Alexander in self-defense. She described the couple’s relationship as psychologically abusive and controlling, stating Alexander kept Arias as his “dirty little secret,” Meanwhile, Willmott stated Alexander repeatedly degraded Arias by telling his friends that she was a stalker.

On the day of the murder, Willmott said Arias was subjected to rough vaginal sex. Willmott stated Arias killed Alexander while she was defending herself against her angry ex-boyfriend after she dropped his new camera. Willmott discussed two time stamped photos taken on the day of the murder. One photo points up at the bathroom ceiling light after apparently accidentally falling. The other, a bloody photo of Alexander. Willmott concluded by telling the jury that if Arias had not chosen to defend herself in the one minute that passed in between those photos being taken, she would not be here today.

Happy New Year! (+ other stuff)

Published on

.
As we look back at 2013, we all know first hand that Jodi’s trial has been a piss-poor excuse of a judicial circus throughout the year, and that still continues to this day. We also had two “high profile” trials (including Zimmerman’s) actually start and finish in-between one status hearing and the next a few months back.

Whether we’ll ever get a re-trial in 2014 or even an unbiased jury is another thing altogether. Come to think of it, we never managed to get an unbiased jury the first time around, did we? So how that could be achieved at the second time of asking is anyone’s guess.

As I documented back in May, we’ve still never seen any conclusive proof of pre-meditation. And despite Kermit’s shambolic showboating escapades and countless acts of blatant prosecutorial misconduct, the State never even came close to proving their case beyond and to the exclusion of all reasonable doubt. Nor will it ever. No amount of assumption or wishful thinking will ever change that fact.

The autopsy pics never proved pre-meditation either. All they prove is that the pedo-animal Jodi was defending herself against came off decidedly second best. Jodi – the potential VICTIM – turned the tables on her attacker. Self defense. Plain & simple.

So yes, let’s see how this BS unfolds next year… if and when the AZ State Circus ever manages to come back to town.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the meantime, and from a purely personal perspective, DECIDE TODAY that you’re finally gonna achieve your dreams in 2014. Don’t just try to do something either, because trying means having the intention to fail. Decide you’re gonna do it instead.

Because sometimes, you just gotta put all your excuses to one side and go for it… whether you wanna be an astronaut, a brain surgeon, a professional golfer, a porn star, an author, an artist… or even if you wanna be something ridiculous like a State Prosecutor. Whatever it is you wanna do or whatever you wanna be — even if it’s something relatively mundane like losing weight or stopping smoking (or both) — decide you’re gonna do it and to hell with anyone that tries to stand in your way and stop you.

I could go on as usual, but I’ll leave it at that for now.

I hope you have an awesome New Years Eve, whether you’re in the US, Canada, the UK, Grease or even Australia… and I hope you have an equally awesome, peaceful & prosperous 2014.

Thanks again for all for your support throughout the year, and for your continued support in 2014 and beyond.

And remember:

WE ARE TEAM JODI – AND WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS in our quest for JUSTICE FOR JODI!

Make no mistake.

Until next year!

The Infamous Trial of Candy Crush

Published on

.
Morning peeps!

As positive momentum starts to build once again over the injustice in the Jodi Arias trial, check out a few excerpts below from the excellent “All Things Crime“ blog – then click here to read the post in full. It’s well worth reading.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Infamous Trial of Candy Crush, by Lise LaSalle:

Strange that at times with our Criminal Justice system, we wonder on what side the real unrepentant criminal is.

On December 10, 2012, the circus/trial of Jodi Arias started in Maricopa County Superior Court.

I refer to Arias as Candy Crush because throughout her trial, a string of Mormon/PPL (Prepaid Legal now Legal Shield) men referred to her in the media as ‘having a stripper vibe’. And a stripper needs a good stage name before the show/trial can go on.

It was easy to come up with a name; she had become an addiction for the nation not unlike the Candy Crush game and candies like Tootsie Pops and Pop Rocks were an inherent part of the cheap mystique floating around her sex games.

As an attractive lady who was considered eye candy most of her life and used as such by Travis Alexander, the name could not have suited her any better. And let’s face it, not many people cared enough to find out who she truly was anyway. So Candy Crush was born and the game began!

Having worked in courtrooms for years as an Interpreter, I had to listen carefully to what was said in these sacred rooms and learn to be an instrument of communication without taking sides. I had to interpret the words of a defendant without trying to make him/her look better or worse. This is how I approached Arias’ trial.

From the very beginning of the trial, with Judge Sherry K. Stephens at the helm, prosecutor Martinez showed he was going to play hard ball. During jury selection, he was trying to ‘’systematically exclude’’ women and African-Americans. Knowing how some Arizona residents despise Mexicans, the fact that Arias was of Mexican descent probably convinced him to also eschew Mexican jurors.

And then entered Juan Martinez; the prosecutor who was accused of prosecutorial misconduct countless times and who was known to play fast and loose with the truth. When he walked into the courtroom, it felt like Apocalypse Now and Juan ‘loved the smell of death penalty in the morning.’ He came across as a sadist who did not give a damn about the truth.

I had never witnessed such a legal fiasco while working as a court Interpreter and the trials I had watched on TV, always had order in the court with a judge running a tight ship.

As a juror, I would have been flabbergasted by some of the whoppers I heard. Detective Flores, who had conducted the original interview with Arias and sat at the table like a dummy throughout the trial, had said countless times that Travis had been shot first and stabbed afterwards. But, as it did not fit Martinez’s strategy to introduce the cruelty factor in order to qualify for the death penalty, he did a switcheroo. Now Travis had been shot last by Jodi in a final sadistic ‘Sayonara’.

The problem is that medical examiner Dr. Kevin Horn had told Flores that Travis was shot first and it was written in his report that Travis’s brain’s Dura matter had not been perforated, meaning that the bullet had stayed in the sinus cavity. Which meant he was conscious and wrestling with Jodi.

Conveniently, the Judge, the prosecutor and the medical examiner changed the order of the crime so it would fit their scenario. When asked by the defense attorney about his report, Dr. Horn said it was a typo. I could not believe my ears.

In my opinion, the best defense witness was psychologist Dr. Robert Geffner. His experience and testimony were unsurpassed and he explained the defense argument with brilliance. The weakest prosecution witness was psychologist Dr. Janeen DeMarte who had no experience whatsoever in domestic violence and was too green for the type of assessment asked of her. But by all accounts, the jury went with her version and totally resisted anything the experienced experts had to say. It showed the prejudice that prevailed in this case…….

1st Anniversary & Happy Holidays!

Published on

.
Today marks the 1st anniversary of the launch of our website.

And while we’ve witnessed first-hand just how bent, corrupt and easily manipulated the whole judicial system really is, we continue to plough on regardless in our quest for Justice for Jodi.

Always have. Always will.

I was tempted to finish off this post with the obvious choice of Jodi singing “O Holy Night” (from last Christmas)… or even the “Survivor” video that went down so well from several months back… instead I decided instead to go with something more fitting instead, and with a video that sums everything up way more than any other — “We Can’t Stop.” 

[hdplay id=248 width=500 height=280]

Says it all really.

So with Christmas just 9 days away – or only 8 days away in my case – I’d like to take this opportunity (together with our awesome Admins)  to thank you all for your support throughout 2013, and for your continued support moving forwards.

I wish you all a very Happy Holidays and a peaceful, prosperous and BS-free 2014 :mrgreen:

And remember, peeps…

Whether it’s 2014, 2015 or some time after that… WE ARE TEAM JODI – AND WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS in our quest for JUSTICE FOR JODI!

Make no mistake.

Believe it.

Prepare for it.

Be part of it.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Change of Venue + Hearing scheduled for 8 am

Published on

.
Following on from Sunday’s Motion For Reconsideration for change of venue, and last week’s defense request to seal the twitter accounts of potential jurors — both of which Pickles took under advisement — the AZ State Circus rolls back into town today for an 8 am performance.

UPDATE: The hearing is over and it was sealed.

Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer:
Surprise! The Jodi Arias hearing was sealed. It’s over. Judge Stephens said it was “continued until a further date,” whatever that means.
.
Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer:
Groundhog’s Day: talking about the Arias retrial at one end of the hall, the Doody (re)retrial at the other. Where’s Chrisman today?
.
Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer:
Maybe we can just keep retrying the same cases over and over, like new seasons of cable TV drama series.

On this special day, I’d like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy a wonderful day full of family and friends, great food and great memories.

Jodi also thanks us all for our continued support.

Happy Thanksgiving 2013 - Justice for Jodi Arias

The law of attraction cannot change anything in your life that you hate, because hate prevents the change from coming. Since the law is giving us exactly what we are putting out, when you hate something the law must continue to give you more of what you hate. You will not be able to move away from it. Love is the only way. If you focus completely on the things you love, then you are on your way to a beautiful life.

Remember…
