They summon a large number. They give each person a number sign that will identify you. Then, they go through a number of questions. First one is usually if you are familiar with the case or have seen any media on it - which will instantly disqualify you. Also, if you know anyone involved. If you have any conflicts or if it would be a financial burden to serve on the jury. For long hearings like this, you usually get a lot of unemployed, business owners or retired individuals since most people can't financially handle a 3-4 month period mostly away from work. The attorneys get to ask questions so that they can determine who would be support their angle. Generally each attorney gets to choose their half of the jurors. They will each try to select jurors they think would be supportive of their case.
They often end up having to summon in more people as numbers get narrowed down - especially in a big case like this. I was in jury selection with this same judge and it went on for at least two days (I was released at the end of the first - whew - but they were to report the next day). In the middle of the first day, they brought in additional potential jurors, to add to the numbers. The judge mentioned they would add even more the next day. It can be a VERY long process and I would guess this case took several days or more to pick a jury. Tax dollars at work!!! Sigh...

The more obvious it becomes that she's guilty, the more outlandish the support Jodi site will be. Already it's over the top.

Did I imagine that I saw JA's mom, brother and dad bent over whispering and smirking to each other...that's just forked up on so many levels. They are acting like they are watching JA's dance recital or something. Geez the whole damn family is fucked in the head from all that wooden spoon whacking going on. Holy jeebus
Why are her female lawyers laughing? Could she be making up stuff on the spot? (as opposed to it being rehearsed.)
I cannot handle this fucking bitch. Granted, different people have different triggers and I am kind of a cry baby, but the lack of/inappropriate emotion is hard to comprehend. When other people are hurting, I just lose it.
It's like she's trying to convince everyone that she's this even-tempered, mild little lady who is incapable of getting angry...and she's focusing so hard on projecting that image that she just completely forgets that there should be some grief/remorse mixed in there. For someone who paints herself as a compassionate martyr, she sure as fuck doesn't really care when it counts.
I roughed it during our vacation because I didn't want Travis to have to pay for cancelled flight fees...BUT I'M COOL WITH KILLING HIM.
I know the trial could really affect Travis's family if this went on for too long...BUT EH, I'LL CALL HIM A PEDO RAPIST IF I HAVE TO.
I told Flores that Travis didn't want to be photographed in the shower, but that I did it anyway...'CAUSE IT'S TOTALLY NORMAL TO ACTIVELY PROVOKE YOUR TORMENTOR.
I was really debating whether or not I should read his texts, and I apologized later because I felt bad...BUT FACEBOOK, EMAIL AND BANK ACCOUNTS ARE FAIR GAME.
Also, pretty sure someone mentioned that Travis got regular manicures. That doesn't really sound like the type of person who would make someone feel vain for wanting to take a shower![]()
I hate when JA attempts to appear ashamed after some of the questions defense asks her
Omg I was so waiting for today and while I was waiting for it to start I fell asleep. Oops. Thanks for the updates and running dialog. I am watching it now, fortunately I remembered to hit record.
I think Jodi's family is tacky. At least they act tacky in court. Tacky trash. They act like they are going to the movies or something. The brother acts like he's fixing to get his 15 minutes of fame on TV.
Crazy weird.
Received an email from the Jodi obsessed Norwegian boy mentioned back on page 175 of this thread. He was or is a member of the following group on Facebook: Jodi Ann Arias / Over-Charged and Undeserving of the Death Penalty. Our good friend Donavan just happens to be an Admin of the group. lol

She hasn't been criminal judge for long. She had family court before though so a liar acting like a teenager probably is old news to her. Personally I don't care for her.
She is too lax and seems to have little control of her own court room. The trial is half over before she decides to limit the massive bench conferences. Fricken people talking and chewing gum and laughing. Damn there's still a murder victim here, how about a little decorum. Now, she's going aginst the sheriff who has a duty for his own regulation to be followed. Ridiculous.
The thing with Jodi's story is that each little story makes sense, but put them all together and it doesn't make a damn bit of sense. Her testimony is just going to further prove means, motive and opportunity.
Who wants to be a doll and add this tag: "Feb11Recap Pt1 Pg867" or something to that effect? I've already added two (feed page and pics page) so I can't add any more.
