It's ridiculous that an atty w/a case in jury deliberations shows up to court in JEANS. Tacky JW, very tacky. #JodiArias

The judge in #jodiarias just announced that we're at recess until 1:00 p.m. Something is definitely up

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ · 2m2 minutes ago
They may let everyone eat, dress #jodiarias out and bring jury in courtroom at 1pm. Just a guess

Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer · 1m1 minute ago
Apparently the #jodiarias jury has a complex jury question. Judge Stephens conferred briefly with lawyers and then called recess until 1.

....I'm going to stick with my guess! That they want JA to answer the 3 questions they submitted to her during the super secret testimony....that would be complex to figure out legally!!

But I could be wrong lol

Cathy ‏@courtchatter · 2m2 minutes ago
We do not know if the jury is deliberating, waiting around to have their question or issue addressed, or having lunch

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ · 2m2 minutes ago
We have increased security and now we are all wondering if we have a verdict

I am wondering if the jurors want to see testimony from the first go around, and then, read it or show video? lots possibilities

....could be!

The attys come back. All rise for the judge !

#jodiarias judge says two questions from jury

....bless them. They are still deliberating.

Steve Krafft ‏@SKrafftFox10 · 35s36 seconds ago
court proposes instruction to jury. prosecution says ok, defense says instruction not needed

Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer · 46s47 seconds ago
Martinez agreed to a modified impasse instruction, Stephens said. Nurmi objects. Sidebar.

effrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq · 36s37 seconds ago
#JodiArias jury getting a "modified impasse instruction" or an Allen charge or Dynamite charge to break impasse

Cathy ‏@courtchatter · 26s27 seconds ago
(cont) Juan gives approval of whatever this modified instruction is. Nurmi objects then says "Is this still sealed?" Stephens says approach

Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer · 45s45 seconds ago
Stephens did not read the questions themselves.

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 2m2 minutes ago
We're talking about a modified impasse instruction here, which could indicate the jury is having trouble making a decision

Cathy ‏@courtchatter · 20s20 seconds ago
Judge Stephens said there were 2 questions. #5 and #6. We only started with "secret" #5. Haven't made it to #6 yet

Beth Karas ‏@BethKaras · 14s15 seconds ago
It appears the #jodiarias jury is deadlocked as judge just said she intends to read a "modified impasse" instruction the jury

Steve Krafft ‏@SKrafftFox10 · 25s25 seconds ago
#jodiarias defense attorney nurmi mentions jury "impasse"; says jurors should not change belief just to get a verdict out

Troy Hayden ‏@troyhaydenfox10 · 14s15 seconds ago
Nurmi: Arguing that each juror needs to bring their own "moral decision" into courtroom.


Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 47s48 seconds ago
Nurmi asks for no alterations to the jury instructions

Mike Watkiss ‏@mikewatkiss3tv · 55s55 seconds ago
"Modified impasse instruction" is also known as "dynamite charge" trying to clear a log jam in deliberation room

Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer · 45s45 seconds ago
Nurmi says the court should declare a mistrial now. Stephens denies the request

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ · 23s24 seconds ago
The "dynamite charge" will be read to the jury

Troy Hayden ‏@troyhaydenfox10 · 1m1 minute ago
#JodiArias jury on break but will be called in and told by judge to work harder to reach a verdict.

Steve Krafft ‏@SKrafftFox10 · 31s32 seconds ago
sounds like #jodiarias judge is going to tell jurors she knows they are at impasse but should get back to work to break it.

Jeffrey Evan Gold ‏@jeffgoldesq · 26s27 seconds ago
Generally I'd say the impasse charge is good for State here because hung = life so this is better than nothing in

Cathy ‏@courtchatter · 6s6 seconds ago
Nurmi then argued that the judge needed to remind the jurors it's still their own decision. She denied his request

Nancy Grace ‏@NancyGraceHLN · 3m3 minutes ago
Judge denies Nurmi's request for mistrial. Modified instruction list being given to jury

Michael Kiefer ‏@michaelbkiefer · 1m1 minute ago
An impasse instruction, or dynamite charge in court lingo, asks jurors to try to reach a unanimous verdict. Not sure what "modified" means

Cathy ‏@courtchatter · 31s31 seconds ago
Sandy Arias arrives

Troy Hayden ‏@troyhaydenfox10 · 1m1 minute ago
If #JodiArias jury comes back hung, Judge Stephens will decide life with or without poss of release. Alexander fam will get to speak in crt.

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ · 1m1 minute ago
Jodi has been talking to Maria and Willmott this whole time

Troy Hayden ‏@troyhaydenfox10 · 56s57 seconds ago
#JodiArias defense team with two new unidentified members huddling loudly at bench. Nobody knows who they are.

Cathy ‏@courtchatter · 19s20 seconds ago
#jodiarias chair looks even lower than normal. Can only see the very top of her head

....I'm personally looking forward to a time when we don't see her at all

MC Superior Court ‏@courtpio · 14m14 minutes ago
A modified impasse instruction will be given to jurors
