Jodi’s Status Hearing scheduled for later today

*** UPDATE: Hearing rescheduled for July 18th ***

With Jodi’s Status Hearing scheduled for later today (in judge Pickles’ chambers), here’s the current take from Fox 10’s resident clueless POS Troy Hayden and 2 talking heads:

[hdplay id=237 width=500 height=300]

“We should find out more Thursday about how the retrial of the Jodi Arias penalty phase will move forward.

A status hearing is scheduled so the judge can hear from the attorneys about their progress.

The retrial is scheduled for July 18, but defense attorneys say they need until January to prepare their case.

Here’s what our legal experts are telling us about what could happen.

“The judge will probably bump it out maybe a month or six weeks but not six months. the other thing that’s going to happen, the defense is going to talk about the need to protect witnesses,” says Brian Foster, one of our legal experts.

“They’ve given no indication whatsoever, either Bill Montgomery or Juan Martinez, that they are not going to go after the death penalty, they’ve given no hems or haws or anything like that at all,” says Monica Lindstrom, our other legal expert.

Opinions are divided on what will happen. Monica Lindstrom thinks there will be a retrial of the penalty phase. Brian Foster told us he thinks they’ll reach a plea deal.”

Although not connected to today’s post, I’m taking this opportunity to pay my respects to “Tony Soprano” (James Gandolfini), who passed away yesterday aged 51.

On-screen and off-screen, you were an inspiration to millions.
You will be sadly missed. RIP.

Why Jodi Will Receive Justice

Published on

.
Morning peeps!

As positive momentum starts to build once again, check out the recent post below from the excellent “Justice For Jodi” blog:

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

“Without question, we are definitely in for a long, legal war.  In fact, it goes beyond a legal battle.  Make no mistake, this is a war and one that will not be resolved within a short period of time.  But I am absolutely confident and positive that when all is said and done, within a few years, we will be the last ones standing and victorious in our quest for justice for Jodi Arias.

It is my belief that Jodi Arias will NOT receive the death penalty.  Not now.  So, this leaves two other options: life in prison with parole or life in prison without the chance of parole.  Either way, whatever option is chosen, we will continue to fight for Jodi’s ultimate freedom and release from prison.

As I sit here and type this, I am constantly amazed at how popular the Jodi Arias trial has become.  I never expected this case to be so polarizing with both sides.  I would have expected this for the upcoming George Zimmerman trial, but not Jodi Arias.  Why do you suppose that is?  I believe that it is because there is a lot of emotion placed into this story.  Whichever side you support, Travis Alexander or Jodi Arias, most people are emotionally invested in this story and have allowed it to become a part of their everyday lives.  And I think that the media is also responsible for fanning the flames of this war between Team Travis and Team Jodi which they privately love and thrive on the conflict.

HLN has done a really good job of promoting Travis Alexander as this Mormon Golden Boy over the last six months while depicting Jodi Arias as the Devil.  But truth be told, deep down they don’t give a damn about Travis Alexander or his family and friends.  They are invested in this story because they know that it has given them huge ratings and they’re in this for the money.  One might even call them “gold diggers”.

And, if you are an ignorant, uninformed person that doesn’t keep up with this trial and you turn on HLN, you would understandably buy into the bullshit that the network is putting out there.  It is very easy to understand why someone would be sympathetic to Travis Alexander and not to Jodi Arias if they spent their days and nights watching HLN or most other media networks.  Because they have framed the story to depict Travis as a rising young man who was brutally murdered or butchered by this evil stalker.  It doesn’t hurt for them to have so many of Travis’s friends and supporters coming out of the woodwork to praise him and bash Jodi Arias.  I’m all for showing support for someone you claim to love and care about, but what they’re doing is tantamount to “media whoring”.  In fact, I’m convinced that for most of these people, Travis’s death is probably the best thing that could ever happen to them.  Why?  Because they are exploiting his death and using his name to put money into their wallets.  Personally, I find that offensive and I’m not even a fan of Travis Alexander.  I find this equally as offensive as someone posting autopsy photos of Travis in an attempt to smear or attack him.

The funny thing is that you would think that Team Travis would be emboldened and confident because they clearly have most members of the media on their side at this time and they are well-funded thanks to Travis’s fat cat friends.  But if that is true, then why are most Travis Alexander supporters so angry and hateful towards Jodi Arias supporters?  I can understand them not agreeing with us or liking what we believe, but I don’t see why we couldn’t just agree to disagree with each other.  Contrary to what they may think, I don’t hate them.  So why all of the anger and hate coming from their side of the aisle?  Why do they go to such extreme lengths as they do to track down Jodi Arias supporters, copy screenshots from their personal pages on the Internet and post their private information on websites?  Why do they make death threats against us?  Why do they impersonate us on their websites and pretend to be us in an attempt to mock and ridicule us?  If they are so confident and emboldened in their quest for justice for Travis Alexander, why is it that all they can do is attack, attack, attack?  Because they are scared……..”

Gus Searcy’s interview continued [w/Pitchforks]

Published on

Following from my last post, here’s the next installment of Gus Searcy’s recent interview with Pitchforks.

In this recording, Gus discusses “The Secret”, CASH, the Cancun trip, the suicide of Dan Freeman’s brother (the day of Jodi’s arrest), the suicide a few days later of one of Jodi’s friends, the supposed suicide of Ashley Reed, the Dustin Thompson “tip”, thoughts on the “Ninja theory”, John Hepworth & the bathroom shoe print, plus a bunch of other stuff too.

It’s well worth listening to.

With specific regard to the bathroom shoe print, I firmly believe law enforcement know who it belongs to, but the information has been purposefully suppressed.

32 Reasons To Love Jodi Arias + “Dear Jodi” video

Published on

.
Happy Wednesday peeps! :mrgreen:

Hot on the heels of the recently posted video, here’s one of JM’s posts from last week, titled “32 Reasons To Love Jodi Arias”:

1) Her tenderness. She has a huge heart.

2) Her intelligence. She is so smart and knowledgeable about so many different things.

3) Her voice. I love to listen to her talk because her voice is so soothing.

4) Her laugh. I hate listening to the sex tape, but the only thing I could possibly find positive about it is that I like her laugh.

5) Her smile. She hasn’t had a lot to smile about lately, but I love her smile-with or without showing teeth.

6) She doesn’t take any crap from HLN or others. I love a woman like that.

7) Her eyeglasses. The only thing negative about them I could ever say is that they cover her eyes. Which leads to #8.

8) Her eyes. I love Jodi’s eyes. Maybe I’m crazy, but I can see so much love and pain in those eyes of hers.

9) Her sense of humor. I got to see that on her blogs and even on some of her Twitter tweets.

10) She rose from humble beginnings to become a self-made woman.

11) Her bond with her sister. She’s very family-oriented and while her relationship with her Mom and Dad has been strained, I know that her and her sister love each other very much.

12) She is beautiful as a blonde or brunette. Jodi could shave her head and be beautiful to me.

13) She stood her ground against Don Juan Martinez.

14) Her paintings.

15) Her drawings.

16) Her writings.

17) How she wants to prepare herself for an interview. I know some people find it to be vain or “diva-like”, but I find it endearing for some reason. Personally, I already think she is beautiful anyway with or without makeup.

18) She likes Napoleon Hill and often quotes from his books. Yes, Travis did, too, but Travis obviously didn’t apply a lot of Dr. Hill’s lessons to his life.

19) She coined the phrase “Nancy Disgrace”. How can you not love her for that?

20) Her singing voice. She has a beautiful singing voice and sounds like an angel.

21) Her love of animals. Bonus points with me.

22) Her love of children. I think that Jodi would be a wonderful mother someday.

23) Her positive mental attitude. All women have PMS, but not all women have PMA. Jodi does.

24) She didn’t back down from the jury to the point of even displaying her “Survivor” t-shirt in court. Chutzpah? Yes. But when I saw that I couldn’t help but smile.

25) She didn’t take any crap from the TV reporters before the “hung jury” decision. Even the local news anchor she liked that turned on her, she didn’t back down from him either.

26) Her sincerity. I know that Jodi will do whatever she says she’s going to do for domestic abuse victims. I would just rather her be outside of a jail or prison cell doing that.

27) Her taste in movies.

28) Her taste in music.

29) Her interests as listed on her MySpace account. Any woman who lists “stargazing” as an interest you’ve got to love.

30) Her facial expressions in the trial. I really pay a lot of attention to people’s body language and I remember watching Jodi a lot during the trial when someone else was speaking and trying to figure out what she was thinking. I just really like how she focuses on someone and then another person.

31) Her romanticism. Some people talk about how sexual she is, but they fail to see that what Jodi wants more than anything is to love and to be loved. It’s not just a want, but a need for her. And, she has a very romantic soul.

32) Last but not least, her generosity. She is very charitable with her money and her artwork which she does not have to do. And she never forgets those who treat her with kindness. I want to send her one of my poems that I wrote so that she reads it and it lifts her spirits. I don’t expect a response back from her, but if I do get one, I’ll be very grateful. It’s more important for me that she feels happy knowing that someone out there cares about her and helped make her smile that day.

Jodi’s lawyers respond to Bill Montgomery

Published on

.
Check out the video & info below from AZ Central…

By Michael Kiefer / AZcentral.com:

“… but on May 23, the jury reached impasse on whether to sentence her to death or to life in prison. A week later, Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery said that his office would go forward with the trial to convince a new jury to impose the death penalty, but…

“If they were to make an offer for resolution, I think I have an ethical responsibility to consider that,” he said.

[hdplay id=236 width=500 height=300]

Today Arias’ defense attorneys, Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott issued a joint statement in an exclusive to The Arizona Republic.

“If the diagnosis made by the State’s psychologist is correct, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office is seeking to impose the death penalty upon a mentally ill woman who has no prior criminal history,” they wrote. “Despite Mr. Montgomery’s recent statements to the media, it is not incumbent upon Ms. Arias’ defense counsel to resolve this case. Instead, the choice to end this case sits squarely with Mr. Montgomery and his office.

“It is solely for them to determine if continuing to pursue a death sentence upon Ms. Arias, who is already facing a mandatory life sentence, is a good and proper use of taxpayer resources.”

The decision will indeed be up to Montgomery. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Sherry Stephens has set a tentative court date of July 18 to seat a new jury just to consider the death penalty, but Willmott has already indicated that she has a scheduling conflict then.

Montgomery’s statement that he would consider “offers” from the defense indicates he might consider concessions from Arias, such as not pursuing appeals. But courthouse regulars suggest that Arias, 32, could just as easily take her chances going back to trial. And in the event she gets death, she would have 20 years or so to do battle in state and federal appeals court to try to get a lesser sentence or a new trial.

Ultimately, however, offers have to come from Montgomery. His office, not the judge, makes the decision to seek the death penalty. And at this point, because Arias is already convicted of first-degree murder, there is no need to reach a settlement with Arias in order for her to be sentenced to life in prison. Montgomery only has to lift the intent to seek the death penalty and she would receive a mandatory life sentence.

Judge Sherry Stephens would then choose between life in prison or natural life in prison. The former is frequently referred to as “life with chance of parole after 25 years,” but that is a misnomer often used even during court proceedings.

Arizona discontinued parole for first-degree murderers in 1994. Anyone sentenced since then might be sentenced to life with possibility of release after 25 years. Parole is only available for those who committed murders before 1994.

“Now the only chance of release is commutation from the governor through the Board of Executive Clemency,” a more difficult process, said Ron Reinstein, a retired Superior Court judge who chairs the Arizona Supreme Court’s capital case oversight committee.

“It doesn’t happen very often,” he said.

And given the fact that the jury found an aggravating factor in Arias’ case, it’s unlikely Stephens would impose that sentence.

If she had committed the murder after 2012, release after 25 years would not even be an option, because the Arizona State Legislature has abolished the sentence for premeditated first-degree murder. It is still a possibility for juveniles convicted of murder or adults convicted of first-degree felony murder, which means that someone was killed during the commission of another felony.”

Tanisha Sorensen being investigated for Witness Tampering

Published on

.
I’ve combined 2 posts in 1 today… so to start with, you can check out Tanisha’s criminal case report (and conviction details) from 2005 by clicking here.

Apparently, Tanisha Sorenson (aka Tanisha Joy Alexander, aka Tanisha Joy Clingan) has been convicted of:

* Felony burglary
* Grand theft
* Possession of controlled substances
* False impersonation
* Shoplifting
* Giving false ID to police (at least 4 or 5 different aliases)

Following on from that — here’s the full quote (and a few others) from Arbey Conlon’s recent blog post. You can read the full post by clicking here.

When Tanisha Sorenson rallied these supporters and convinced them that the defense witnesses needed to be dealt with, they organized cyber assaults and hate crimes against, Dr Samuels, Alyce Laviolette. The big issue became obvious when Tanisha was barred from the judges chambers after having leaked ‘sealed’ court evidence to the public. Tanisha is currently being investigated for Witness Tampering, a federal offense that may land her back in jail. With half of the Alexanders living with criminal records, two of the sibling are police officers, you would think that as a family, they would discuss their strategies. Apparently not.

 

Travis Alexander supporters not only fail to look for the truth, they accept the falsehoods often presented in pop culture. The venom and hate that they express towards Jodi Arias is very telling of their own very deep rooted fear that eventually, all men will have to admit to being equal to women. It might well be that misogyny is much more prevalent in society than what we might like to know.

 

The core difference between Jodi Supporters and Travis Supporters is that Travis Supporters will use intimidation tactics, they will bully others, threaten, coerce, stalk and even go so far as to phone witnesses and utter death threats. In stark contrast, Jodi supports are calm, rational, realistic, interested in truth and are, most importantly, against capital punishment. The Travis supporters chant, even pray to God for death.

Travis supporters ‘disown’ their feelings and project their self hatred onto others.

Jodi supporters offer discussion of issues and stay focused on the topic. Jodi supporters will sometimes express their feelings on a level that Travis supporters will understand. In these moments, Jodi supporters may resort to language and graphic representations that Travis supporters can understand, given their lower level of functioning and reasoning.

 

Travis supporters lack empathy and remorse for the crimes they commit under the guise of ‘Justice’ whilst the Jodi Supporters do not commit crimes. The real Jodi supporters psychological profile suggests that they are of the humanistic type, understanding, empathic, nurturing and interested in real justice. Not the maligned ‘eye for an eye’ that the Travis supporters often spew.

Jodi Supporters reject the Death Penalty, recognizing it as nothing more than misguided revenge.

Juror questions & sidebar exchanges unsealed

Published on

.
As some of the jurors questions, verdict deliberations & sealed sidebar exchanges start to be released by judge Pickles, here’s an interesting documented sidebar exchange between Martinez and Jennifer Willmott from April 2nd-4th:

“Willmott and Martinez bandied back and forth. then Martinez said, “But the thing is that if Ms. Willmott and I were married, I certainly would say I fucking want to kill myself. That doesn’t mean I want to kill myself. It just means there’s a bad relationship and I want you to leave me alone.”

Willmott protested. “Judge, just for the record, I think that that was an insult because he’s trying to say that if he and I were married …”

Martinez cut her off: “That was a compliment, bad joke.”

Willmott: “I don’t see it as either.”

Stephens did not reprimand Martinez. Instead she said, “All right. Let’s move past that.”

Two days later, the subject came up again at another bench conference, when Martinez said to Willmott, “Well, then maybe you ought to go back to law school.”

Stephens did not step in.

Nurmi did, asking Stephens to admonish Martinez for both the law-school and the marriage remarks.”

Here’s the video & story from AZ Central:

[hdplay id=235 width=500 height=300]

“Much of the Jodi Arias trial took place behind closed doors or at the judge’s bench with conversations drowned out by the whir of a white noise machine.

Midway through the trial, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Sherry Stephens began to seal the record of those sidebars and in-chambers discussions.

But the information is beginning to leak out. Stephens has released the text of the questions the jurors asked as they came to an impasse on whether Arias should be sentenced to death.

On May 30, Stephens ordered that much of the secret conversations be released to the public as well. Court staff are working on making them available. Stephens, however, is still sitting on perhaps the most controversial material by keeping the seal on sidebars or closed-door hearings where witnesses or jurors were present. Those hearings contain details of the death threats against witnesses and attorneys, and what the judge did or didn’t do about them. They contain details about why three jurors were dismissed.

But unsealed transcripts obtained by The Arizona Republic show how defense attorneys Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott and prosecutor Juan Martinez quibbled over witnesses and evidence while at the bench, and how at times, the back and forth turned insulting.

Arias, 32, was found guilty of first-degree murder on May 8 for the brutal 2008 slaying of her sometime lover, Travis Alexander, 30. Five years ago this week, Arias shot Alexander in the head, stabbed him nearly 30 times, slit his throat and then dumped his body in the shower of his Mesa home. She claimed she killed Alexander in self-defense; the jury thought otherwise.

On May 22, the jurors sent a note to Stephens asking which form they should use in the event they couldn’t reach a unanimous decision on whether to sentence Arias to death or to life in prison. Stephens called them into the courtroom and read them instructions on how to resume deliberation.

The next day, according to juror questions released today, the jurors said “We would like to explain our earlier question ….” They had not yet reached impasse, they said, but wanted to know what to do in the event they did. Stephens wrote back that they should use a juror questionnaire form.

Later that day they sent another message.

“After long and careful deliberation, we are unable to reach a unanimous decision,” it said.

Stephens scribbled a note back to them: “Do you think breaking until Wednesday, May 29, could benefit your deliberations?…………”

June 4th – Celebrate The Day!

Published on

.
Today marks the 5th anniversary of a very special day.

It’s the day Jodi successfully defended herself against the vicious & unprovoked attack TA unleashed on her.

Thankfully Jodi won that battle. She was the potential victim… but she successfully turned the tables on her attacker, and justice for TA was well & truly served that day — (click here for proof if you still need it).

So let the events of that day be a warning to any other self-righteous bastards that think they can verbally & physically abuse women and get away with it. Because the fact of the matter is… in the cold light of day… most of the time you can get away with it… but sometimes… well… you just can’t.

“Jodi you are my new HERO! I just finished watching the end of the prosecutions ridiculous attempt at a cross and you stayed calm, cool and collected. I am in your corner. You stand for every girl who has ever been used and abused by some creep I can tell you are a very intelligent and sweet person. You cannot measure a person’s worth by their worst act. Yes I know what you did was wrong, but I know it was done for a very good reason. I wish you all the best of luck and know we are all beside you!” – Jesse

With all that in mind, here’s a clip of  Jodi talking about the Survivor t-shirts she designed, during her allocution on May 21st 2013:

[hdplay id=226 width=500 height=300]

Click here for further details. 100% of the net profits generated from the t-shirt sales will support other survivors of domestic violence, and go to Non-profit Domestic Violence organizations selected by Jodi.

In summary, I’ll leave you with this:

We are here for the long haul.

We are proud to stand behind and support Jodi Arias.

Always have done.

Always will do.

Nothing will ever change that.

Survivor Day - Justice for Jodi Arias 6-4-2013

A detailed reply to Dr Drew’s BS question [from JM]

Published on

.
Just in case you missed it the other day, here’s JM’s post in reply to Dr Drew’s question. That’s where he apparently failed to get his head around the fact that there’s are millions of Jodi supporters out there.

No doubt Drew would also struggle to come to terms with this website not only being in the top 12,000 most visited sites in the US right now, but also with it being in the top 94,000 most visited websites globally – according to the Alexa rankings. We’ve also had over 5 million page views since January too… while the current bunch of BS hate-themed sites aren’t even in the top 5 million most visited list.

What does that tell ya? :mrgreen:

Anyways… here’s JM’s post:

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

“Hey everyone. This is my response to Dr. Drew. I sent this to him via a link on Twitter. So far, he has not responded.

HLN’s Dr. Drew Pinsky posed this question last night to his viewers:

“What kind of person supports Jodi Arias?”

This is my answer and response to him:

Dr. Drew, since you asked the question, let me give you an answer: the kind of person that supports Jodi Arias is less interested in fame and more interested in helping others through anonymity. They’re the kind of person that is less interested in making money from this case and exploiting the dead and more interested in raising awareness by championing the survivors of abuse. They’re the kind of person that is less interested in trying to find lies and more interested in finding the truth. They’re the kind of person that is less interested in having their hands and wallet open for cash and more interested in having their hearts and minds open for love. They’re the kind of person that wants justice as opposed to revenge, life as opposed to death, love as opposed to hate and they recognize that Jodi Arias is not perfect, but love and support her because they see her for who she really is, not the caricature you and others have made her out to be.

Dr. Drew, you mention how there are those who have chosen to “piggyback” on the coattails of Jodi Arias for fame. With all due respect, you and your colleagues might want to take a look in the mirror to see who the real culprits are of this. You and your cohorts at HLN have been more in bed with Travis Alexander in the past 5 months than Jodi Arias ever was. You have given and allowed Travis’s family, friends and supporters free reign on your daily and nightly television shows to trash, smear and attack Jodi Arias without giving her or her family a chance to respond without being shouted down or mocked and ridiculed. I could expect this type of behavior from the others at your network, but not from a man like you whom I know has interacted with many troubled individuals whose problems are analogous to Jodi’s. You, of all people, sir, should know better. Everyone knows that a doctor’s M.O. is “do no harm”. You have done nothing but harm to Jodi Arias, her family and her supporters. But most of all, and you probably don’t even realize, you will wind up doing even greater harm to yourself.

Jodi post allocution ABC 15

I choose to support Jodi Arias because I hate domestic violence whether the abuser is a man or a woman. However, the majority of abusers are men and the majority of survivors are women. And, sadly, a lot of men choose to remain silent or sit on the sidelines instead of speaking out against domestic abuse and letting women know that they aren’t the only voices that wish to be heard. We do so out of love, Dr. Drew, not for fame, not for money, not for anything other than love and support which these women so desperately need. And, on a personal note, we have heard a lot about religion during this trial. I find it hard to fathom that Jesus Christ would be giving high-fives to Travis Alexander’s family for the way they have and continue to spew hatred out of their mouths for Jodi Arias. I can’t speak for the Mormon religion since I am a Catholic, but I believe that my God is one who places more value on the actions and deeds of those who do His work over the rhetoric and speeches of those who claim to.

We support Jodi, not because she is perfect and infallible, but because she is imperfect and many of us identify with her and her situation. And we love her unconditionally as a woman who has shown those of us who choose to see her without bias as someone that is generous, compassionate, passionate and loving. We’re not ashamed to say that we not only love her 9 days out of 10, we love her 24/7. And, in closing, I’d just like to say that out of something tragic comes something good and that is this: her supporters have become extended family to each other. If you look at the people and posts on the pro-Jodi Arias websites, you will find almost every one of them to be positive and uplifting.

Contrast that to the anti-Jodi Arias websites where you will find almost every one of them to be negative and hateful. We do it for love, Dr. Drew, unconditional, undying, unwavering love for a woman that most of us have never met, but whom also has become a member of our extended family.

Thank you.”
