    Yes. For impeachment.

    Maybe the fog has lifted and she will remember the stabbing.

    Are you sure? I was under the impression they could use the first trial transcripts if someone changes their story or testimony.

    In her life full of unfortunate coincidences and convenient memory issues, I doubt it. Unless she suddenly remembers that after she shot Travis, he rose to his feet and started strangling her.

    I'm not legal person...so maybe somebody with complete knowledge can chime in. I always understood mistrials to mean start over fresh. It's as if the first trial never happened. It may be hard in this case, b/c by now, everybody has seen this trial.

    Pretty sure if there were to be a second trial and Stabby took the stand again or any of the other witnesses anything they said in first trial could be used to impeach them if story changes.

    Yes they can, legal record to impeach. Will slasher be bright enough not to take the stand next time? Nah

    Oh I really hope there isn't a mistrial. I made through interrogation tape 10 and was ready for this to get started. That poor family.

    I cannot see the family agreeing easily to a plea deal. I think they would rather risk a new trial -- although I don't know if Juan Martinez will. Not because he doesn't care, but because he knows what nonsense this trial has led to, and he may want to spare the family the agony of having to listen to Jodi's lies be repeated over and over about their brother.

    If I were the family, I would fight as hard as I could for a retrial. They want to clear Travis's name as much as they want to find her guilty.

    A few lawyers that tweet-They say if a juror is being removed, it takes time. They have to find out if the whole pool was tainted or not.

    but, that wouldn't account for family in chambers

    According to George Earlie Shankle, Ph.D., in his State Names, Flags, Seals, Songs, Birds, Flowers, and Other Symbols,

    "Arizona's motto, Ditat Deus, meaning "God Enriches", is probably an abbreviation of Genesis, Chapter 14, verse 23, of the Latin Vulgate Version of the Bible."

    Mine too, I imagine there's thousands like us. God knows what turmoil the Alexanders' are in, if us as outsiders feel like this.

    Wait a minute, the Arias' family called back there too now? This is getting scarier by the minute. Looking like a Plea? Why would they inclde JA's family in any mistrial talk, anyone heard of this before?

    AChicagoBlogger It's my understanding that a fellow juror ratted out Juror #5 during juror questioning last week. #JodiArias
