Just saw another question go into the bin from the jury. #JodiArias


How many jury questions about the manifesto do you think we'll see? How many juror questions total?

Juror wants to know what Jodi's IQ was

PHOENIX - Attorneys for Jodi Arias have filed another motion for a mistrial, claiming the prosecutor acted inappropriately and said the case resembles a modern-day equivalent to the Salem Witch Trials.
In the motion filed by Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmot, Arias’ defense team contends “the prosecutorial misconduct has infested these proceedings with a level of unfairness that cannot be cured by any others means.”
The motion states there is a “circus-like atmosphere inside the courtroom” and prosecutor Juan Martinez has yelled at witnesses, attacked witnesses on a personal level, and has thrown evidence.
The motion also alleges Martinez chose to “release evidence” and to pose for pictures with his fans on the steps of the courthouse.
The attorneys claim Arias is now in a position where she cannot present a complete defense and the only constitutional course is to declare a mistrial.
The defense team filed the motion before the start of Monday’s trial. The judge did not address the motion in court, although the judge has already rejected a similar motion.
Arias’ attorney filed a second motion asking the judge to preclude any testimony regarding the weight capacity of the shelves inside Travis Alexander’s closet.
While on the stand, Arias testified she stepped on the shelves in an attempt to grab the gun she shot Alexander with.
During cross-examination, Martinez questioned Arias about how much she weighed and implied if Arias had stepped on the shelves it would not have held her weight.
The second motion indicates evidence was collected by the state on March 5, 2013 and the motion requests to preclude any and all evidence related to any weight assessments or testing on the shelving at the place of death.
The motion reveals the State took measurements of the closet and took pictures of the shelving unit which includes an image of someone “placing weight on and/or lifting up one of the shelves that is now situated within the closet.”
The second motion states “there has been no evidence that the shelves as issue are indeed the same shelves in the same condition, nor is there any evidence that the current shelving is supported by the same pins that were present on June 4, 2008.”
The judge did not address the second motion in court on Monday.

Can you smell the desperation! I think defense will lose the shelving motion, prosecution had no way of knowing what she would say on the stand.

I've rarely seen anyone with a higher self esteem. Really.

Exactly--- & didn't A want to represent herself initially? <- If that doesn't call for being self assured with high self esteem of oneself, right?

[wasthinking]

Jodi is a fucking lunatic.

Sorry, but this bitch be crazy as hell!!

so is her witness! Im so glad JM keeps going with her

One who doesn't want to be questioned on them. Hmmm, Samuels had a similar issue.

Samuels had his, he just couldn't find anything in them when asked.

I'm not a therapist, but I would think a client with a manifesto would raise a fucking red flag

Haha probably.

Really Willmott? Testimony about stuff not in evidence? Thats all her direct testimony was!!!

That and speculation, JW's other favorite objection.

I think Palin is about to have a meltdown

Right alongside Stabby

[phantompoet]

She thinks she smarter than Eintein shows narcissism covering up the fact she dropped out of high school and failed kindergarten.

[royals02]

Fucking Nurmi is up to something again I just know it

[*crickets*]

EINSTEIN?!? Signing manifestos??? Like the Unabomber? OMG

[M Joy]

Judge has cut breaks down from 5 minutes to 3

[Harlette]

did alyce ask for a bathroom break again?

[Cocopop]

What is the little thing that JW and JM keep sliding across the top of the bench in front of the judge? Is that a mic for the court reporter or something?

^^ Yes ^^ stenographer
ALav must have to pee pee for 3 minutes instead of 5

Bwahaha

For the white noise they pump into the court room

[NCBlonde]

So, Jodi's self-image was normal -- 2 years AFTER being jailed for murder.

So, Alyce is saying that Jodi's self-image got BETTER after she killed someone and sat in prison awaiting trial? Wow.

For a normal person, wouldn't it be the opposite?

Either Jodi's self-image/self-esteem remained the same throughout, or it actually got better after becoming a killer, but it didn't get worse.

Says something there, doesn't it?

[phantompoet]

latoilet break time

[TeamRenew]

Nurmi shouldn't be that fat considering how often he trots back & forth for these mind-numbing approaches.

Three minute break. Court to resume in about 35 minutes or so.

Obviously the manifesto is so awesome that Alyce accepted an advance copy as payment for services rendered. It's that fucking good.

[lildandy]

Might have been Jodi. Looks like Alyce went to sit by mitigation expert.

If you are talking about the orange thing, it appears to be a pencil sharpener. Earlier they zoomed in on Jodi and I could see what it was.

[Brillig]

Noooooo she's not biased:

Publications Women Studies Encyclopaedia
1998 "The Battered Husband Syndrome and other Myths"

Nope, not biased at all.

she is clearly "acting" when she feigns ignorance

and i dont think its cutesy that she doesn't know about computers and im's and texts....it just further dates her

Indeed. If so much of the testimony was going to involve these things, perhaps they should have had an expert who understood them.

Every witness is biased or they would not be called to the stand. On both sides.

Wrong. Some witnesses just testify as to facts, no bias involved. No need to be such a complete cynic.

but but but Snow White, Disney, Dr Oz, CSI make her an expert
just WOW

I know, right?!?

THIS^ Those who watch CSI qualify them to talk about forensics!

And I could testify about astronomy because I watched Star Trek!

Yes, you are. Better get your CV in order and head out onto the expert witness circuit...

Think Komodo Dragon

Makes me think of that scene from The Freshman, where Bert Parks sings "Here she is... your Komodo Dragon..." to the tune of the old Miss America song!

I really don't think he has ever sat up straight due to his spare tire; which I noticed today at the bench that is was even more inflated. Stress?

Twinkies.

It wouldn't surprise me if she installed a number of spying software. He may have discovered it by trying to fix a laggy computer and discovered it using a malware removal tool

Interesting point. Something like that could potentially have caused the big blow up in May, where Travis felt so betrayed and was so angry at her. Knowing someone searched through everything on my computer would make me pretty damn furious.

Sort of says that bitch needed a long time out a long time ago.

My hubby is watching and yelling at the tv like he's watching football. I knew we would have a bonding moment during trial. He does not like Alyce in ponderland
