Jodi Arias--Trial for the murder of Travis Alexander #24

I am not seeing that it is clear she put them up for sale, but I assume she did. I don't know if SHE donated the proceeds, or if they were confiscated by the legal system or ? and given to the charity...If SHE donated, it's clearly a case of trying to make herself look like less of a monster to the new jury (master of manipulation as always).
Regardless, she did not benefit, and I think Travis would have liked that the money went to a food bank that feeds one in 5 hungry Arizonians...

I saw some tweets yesterday saying the glasses sold for $1000, and that $980 was donated to a food bank.  However, the food bank later said that the donation came from Iowa.
Here's the tweet:

Prospective jurors vent at Jodi Arias
11:54 a.m. EDT October 2, 2014


PHOENIX — An additional 100 prospective jurors came before the judge in the Jodi Arias case Wednesday, and more than half of them were sent home.

..."I already think she deserves the death penalty," said Whitney McGinn.

It was a prevailing sentiment.

A woman who identified herself as Barb Patterson said, "I watched every second of the trial online, and she's guilty as sin. They're wasting our taxpayer dollars, and she needs to get to prison ... death row!"

Food bank 'victimized' by Jodi Arias donation
Posted on October 2, 2014 at 7:42 AM  Updated today at 9:02 AM


"I feel like we've been victimized," said Beverly Damore, president and CEO of the St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance.

The food bank received the donation on Wednesday morning.

"We got an online donation from a gentleman that lives out of state. It was in the amount of $980," said Damore.

...Because the donation was made online the organization has no way of knowing if it really came from Arias.

...Damore said she feels like Arias is using St. Mary's Food Bank to improve her image in the public's eye.

...Damore said the food bank would be better off without this kind of publicity.

No jurors in court today, next week RT @BrooksPlace1225: What's going on with perspective jurors today?? #jodiarias

What I would like to know, is if she is in an orange jumpsuit? She doesn't need to be in street clothes as she was found GUILTY! The special treatment that felon gets is wrong, wrong, wrong!!!!

Dunno but good comment!

IMO, had JA been her own atty, she would have been allowed street clothing.
I agree she should be in prison identified clothing as she WAS found guilty of a terrible murder.

Yes!!! I have been saying this since the day she was found guilty! I see convicted felons on TV ad nauseum always appearing in court in orange jumpsuits, but not Miss special treatment, Jodi! The judge even has the temerity to say that to have her in prison clothes would be "prejudicial" HUH???!!! Seriously???!!! SHE WAS FOUND GUILTY! The fact that she is allowed to now sit through the penalty phase again wearing silk blouses is a slap in the face to the Alexander family and to the legal system in my opinion!

Yes DIE, we hate you Jodi and the more you show your ass the more we HATE you. SHUT THE HELL UP AND SIT YOUR ASS DOWN. EVERYONE is way over you.

Potential Arias juror disobeys judge, walks out of courthouse
Posted: Oct 06, 2014 4:45 PM PST Updated: Oct 07, 2014 7:17 AM PST


PHOENIX (CBS5) - Dozens of potential jurors were back in Superior Court on Monday as jury selection continued in the Jodi Arias sentencing retrial.

One potential juror disregarded the judge's order not to do any research on the case or watch any media reports.

The juror said he watched a movie about Arias over the weekend. He then walked out of the courthouse and never came back.

...Jury selection will resume Tuesday morning.

" ....Joe Jones Who is Bond answering to? What is this modern day Bond licensed to do? If Arias hired him with own personal funds, she can tell him to do whatever she wants him to do. If that's the case, Bond certainly can look into whatever she wants, including all of the alleged errors which were made in the guilt trial, including the errors of her lawyers. In doing so, Arias is getting a jump start on her appeal. Imo, her money would be better spent on lawyers rather than a P.I. That being said, if the State is paying for Bond (which appears to be more likely), Bond really should be working on issues dealing only with mitigation matters at this point. He should be interviewing witnesses that help Arias avoid the death penalty, and NOT issues involving appeal. Also, assuming Bond is paid by the State, he really should be answering more directly to Arias' lawyers and not being a gofer for Arias. At the beginning of his interview, he states, "what SHE's hired me for" is to look into appellate issues.(Will she soon be hiring him to take over Cha Cha's job as CFO of Arias Art and Memoribilia Enterprises?). Does that mean Arias is paying him? If the State is paying Bond, then he's being paid, in part, to disparage the very lawyers the State has hired to protect Arias. Nice. Under the ABA rules, a death penalty defendant must have in place a team comprised of the following: two (2) death penalty qualified lawyers, a mitigation specialist (Cha Cha) and a private investigator (Failure to have this team in place may result in a reversal by an appellate court). The private investigator investigates matters involving the guilt or innocence of the defendant, and, later, the mitigating factors which might save the defendant from death. So WTF is happening here? If this guy is being paid by the State, he's supposed to be helping Arias avoid the death penalty, not investigating future appellate issues. The appellate attorneys can hire their own investigators to assist them in arguing their appellate issues, including errors by Arias' lawyers. What's a mitigation P.I. investigating appellate issues for? Bond said there are a number of appellate issues. Does Bond have a law degree? If not, shouldn't he be working with appellate attorneys and not trial attorneys? If he's working in consort with he trial lawyers, does it make sense that he is investigating errors of the lawyers he is working with? Is this what "SHE's hired me for"? Isn't there a significant conflict of interest for the P.I? Moreover, how does he know what to investigate that will further Arias' appellate arguments? Are Nurmi and Willmott telling him to investigate appellate issues and forsaking the matter at hand, which is preparing mitigation arguments which will save their client from death? Surely, Nurmi and Willmott cannot be asking the P.I. to investigate errors that they as lawyers made. Maybe there's a simple answer to all this and I'm out in left field, but it appears to be another bizarre twist in this saga.

October 2 · Edited

Beverly Damore, CEO of St Mary's Food Bank spoke out about the $980 donation posted on #JodiArias' blog this morning. "It's a shame someone, for whatever reason, chose to use our good name..."

Well, well, well...I'm not in the least surprised. Lay down with dogs, you will get up with fleas as they say. The people of Phoenix need to demand a detailed list of costs for this ONE PERSONS trial. Judge Stevens needs to knock JA off her high horse pedestal and get to the business of getting this trial done and over with. Enough is enough!

Judge Stevens is so afraid of having her reputation tarnished she has bent herself into a pretzel during this whole trial fiasco to protect JA's rights. When does the rights of the victim and their family get taken into consideration?

Moosiesmama wrote:Judge Stevens is so afraid of having her reputation tarnished she has bent herself into a pretzel during this whole trial fiasco to protect JA's rights. When does the rights of the victim and their family get taken into consideration?  

Exactly Moosiesmama...I get so tired of the rights these criminals have. It should be that if you are stupid enough to commit a crime and your behind is thrown into jail then you lose ALL of your rights. I'm tired of these criminals and their lawyers blaming the victim for their demise in any and every way possible under the sun and not proving a stitch of it, yet you can't enter all evidence you have against the criminal as it may be to prejudicial for the criminal? Tell if that is fair. What a lopsided justice system we have. You know, if Court TV had never been, I wonder how many of us would still be in the dark concerning how unfair our justice system is.

Okay, I turned that right into a rant. Sorry about that.

And rightfully so, One!  You and Moosiesmama are both right on.  I know there was a petition to create Travis Alexanders' Law, where evidence trashing a victim would not be admissible unless it was corroborated by someone else other than the defendant.  I never did hear what, if anything, happened with turning that into law.

I agree about the prejudicial stuff the jury can't hear.  When I read Michael Dunn's neighbor say that he was just waiting for a situation to pop up where he could shoot someone, I was stunned that that info was not allowed at trial.  How more relevant does it have to be to be admitted?

I also agree about Judge Stevens.  IMO, she has no backbone.  Just saying...

The State vs Jodi Arias ~ Travis Alexander murder trial
Yesterday
UPDATE:

A panel of 12 + 6 alternatives is expected to be sworn in on Thursday. There will be no court tomorrow or Wed.

-----------------
No wonder this trial is expected to take so long. I don't think they've put in a full week yet.

And just think, when that idiot Jury Foreman and his cohorts didn't
have the backbone to do the Morally Right and Legally PROVEN thing
to do, we all thought the new Jury/Trial would be over in January/Feb!


I REALLY hope Hodi gets the smackdown so long in coming!
Think I'll stick around for a while and check this out with y'all...

This is funny.  If nothing else, check out the pictures.

A chronicle from the courtroom of the mind-numbing exercise in futility known as the Jodi Arias sentencing phase... As seen from my third row seat.
7th October 2014


It’s no secret high-profile court cases are often circuses of the absurd, three rings filled with nut jobs, loons, zealots for both sides. A high-profile case like the sentencing phase of the Jodi Arias trial is a silver-lined invitation to a party of the inane. But in this case, the nonsensical aren’t outside the court, they’re IN it.

Today we’re a day away from wrapping up the second week of jury selection, although “week” is an overstatement. This process has yet to have a full five days of action inside the courtroom. At this rate, by the time this trial finishes, Arias won’t require lethal injection, she’ll die from old age.

...The good thing about when Nurmi speaks is that I never get any older, because time stands still.

Laughed so hard over the wonderfully written post, "From The Third Row." Thanks for finding and sharing!

Got to thinking about JA donating (supposedly) eye glasses / selling glasses and donating the money to charity ? Yeah... Well, I don't buy that for a minute! IF she was able to sell the glasses for one hundred dollars, I suspect she kept all but twenty-five... if she really donated anything!

BTW, since the STATE OF ARIZONA bought the eye glasses for her (and now she does not need them! Praises for the excellent health care in the jail!) the money rightfully would belong to the STATE. The glasses were for a health concern of hers which she apparently did not need....Cough up the money, JA. It does NOT belong to you or to a charity. It belongs to the people of Arizona.

I wonder how much of this phase will be a zoo? How is it that Jodi gets away with all of the special treatment? I wonder how long this phase will last and whether Justice will finally be served and Jodi put onto Death row where she belongs.. I also wonder if she is put onto death row how much publicity she will be able to garner from there? and lastly, I wonder when this 15 minutes of fame is going to end.. this evil thing turns my stomach!

Nurmi still objecting vociferously that Martinez is vouching, argumentative, misstating the evidence. Most overruled.

Not Mentally Ill

Martinez said borderline personality disorder -- which Arias was previously diagnosed with -- is not a mental illness.

The attorney's are at a sidebar with the judge.

Observation: Jury much more engaged listening to Juan Martinez than they were listening to Kirk Nurmi.

They are out to lunch.
I am gone, as well.
Been a very long day from OP to JA
Wonder how BB is going?

It has indeed been a long day!

No court today in the Bashara case, as far as I know.

Thank you, Freckles, for sharing the trial updates. I've spent the day in airports and on a plane and was afraid I'd miss everything.

From the pics, it appears JA is appearing in street clothing for this sentencing phase. She has a new hair cut... and I wonder if she is trying to copy (again, the mark of a sociopath) the lead actress on the TV show, "The Good Wife." Nurmi looks absolutely scary! His appearance could use some plastic surgery, and I usually am opposed to this type of surgery. Nurmi's appearance and his rough sex talk are a major turn off...

Must see and read:

Hi all my old buddies~
A few things...
LOVED this age progression photo someone made of Jodi---Ah, the 'sex pot' in prison will soon fade and look like a hag in time...No plastic surgery, no fancy beauty treatments or expensive cosmetics...


HATE that Jodi, a now-convicted murderess is allowed in court wearing 'normal' clothes, and that in my opinion Judge Sherry has gone too far out of bounds in the other direction in the name of "protecting" Jodi's rights---enough!

Kurt Nurmi, while completely distasteful on EVERY level looks a little less creepy with hair than he did in the original trial. Too bad the minute he opens his mouth your skin crawls...

Like everyone else, hoping for smarter jurors this time and a death sentence for Jodi.

Sending good thoughts to the Alexander family as always...

Dozens of possible jurors rejected in Arias case
1 hr ago


PHOENIX (AP) — Roughly a third of 200 potential jurors were dismissed Monday in the penalty retrial of convicted murderer Jodi Arias after telling a judge they had seen too much media coverage of her first trial to be impartial or had already made up their minds about her punishment.

Other jurors were let go due to work conflicts or language barriers, among other reasons, as jury selection began in the second attempt by prosecutors to secure a death sentence in the Arizona case that became a tabloid TV sensation.

...Some of the prospective jurors who were dismissed said they had already seen so much media coverage of the first trial that they couldn't put it out of their minds and would not be able to make a decision based only on information presented at the penalty retrial, which is expected to last into December.

...Jury selection is expected to last several weeks.

That should not matter as it WAS determined she IS GUILTY.
Can they be objective to the SENTENCING?

The first jury was right in convicting her, I will never understand given what they had to work with.. Hodi's total lack of anything in her final (sorry I wish they were) statement of why she should not get the DP … here are pictures of me at the Grand Canyon… etc.. unless they felt she was naive and stupid … that this jury did not sentence. (I don't think that they really gave it enough time)

But this jury should be able to get it right… I would think it would need some kind of divine intervention for her not to get the DP and I am not convinced that is who is on her side. I hate that she will get appeal after appeal once she does get the DP as she is evil. I hate that Travis will have his name dragged through the mud again. I love that the Sheriff is attempting to keep this minimized by refusing media interviews.

Bless the Alexander family for having to go through all of this again.

Michael Kiefer@michaelbkiefer
Willmott talks about stories of people who survived frontal lobe penetration. She had an expert during first trial who rehabs such injuries.

(IMO While this might be of interest to a medical training staff, it has NOTHING to do with this MURDER. Travis did NOT get a chance to survive anything! Atty is pandering to the jury... got nothing so is trying an emotional white wash.)

Michael Kiefer@michaelbkiefer
In fact, during 1st trial, a juror asked Horn if it was not true that every person he had seen with similar head wounds was already dead.


William Pitts @william_pitts
Wilmott objects to redirect: "Mr martinez is standing next to the witness and yelling at him...and stabbing him." JM reenacting stabbing.


Michael Kiefer @michaelbkiefer
Martinez lunges at Dr. Horn in a fake stab with a pen to the chest and yells, "That didn't take long, did it?" Willmott objects.
