Jodi Ann Arias shot and stabbed her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander to death (Part II)

[Cara]

My spirit animal right now.

[smurfy]

LoL, someone showed up in a bunny costume...I wonder if that is some kind of bunny boiler statement :p

[RockinRobyn]

I think my 2 1/2 year old will be the happiest this trial is over. I caught him giving the admonition to his trains before bed last night.

"If I hurt Travis, I would BEG for the death penalty!"

I HOPE SHE GETS HER F*#CKING WISH!

I am not even a Alexander family member and my nerves are shot. Someone needs to sing "Soft Kitty" to me.

I can't wait to see the look on her face.......any bets on stun-belt demonstration???????????

LOL I know you have been wanting the stun-belt to go off. I am sure the Sheriff will have a finger on the trigger button. Think it will slip?

I'm feeling the M1 too. Here's hoping that Travis can finally rest in peace.

[Sylvian]

I am so excited that I was tempted to skip down our long hallway here at work. Decided against it as I just knew someone would see me!

Dare you to do it if we get a M1 verdict :)

It's GOT to be murder 1. There's no WAY a juror who believed that it was premeditated murder, would budge. I'd hang that jury before giving her a lesser charge.

[olgasbunghole]

Omg the anxiety I feel as an outsider is insane. I cannot imagine what the Alexander family is feeling.

EXACTLY THAT!

Havent seen this one posted here yet. Good for a few laughs while we wait... Sorry if it has been. I tend to skip/scroll through at times

Exactly what happens in the Aggravation phase? Is it argument or are there witnesses?
If jury finds Cruelty proven beyond a reasonable doubt, there is a Mitigation phase next right?
During mitigation witnesses testify on behalf of Stabby. Are they questioned by Defense and cross examined by Prosecution?
Once jury hears mitigation, they deliberate which factors outweigh the other (aggravating vs. mitigating) in order to reach a decision on LWOP or Death. Is it after they announce the sentence that victim impact statements are given?

I think I have the phases in the correct order, but the details are unclear to me at this point. Does anybody have this information to answer my questions? Thank you in advance.

Aggration phase starts right after, if JM is ready. I would guess Mr Prepared is ready but we'll see if the judge doesn't add in a delay.
Yes, the state presents evidence / witnesses, like a mini trial, meaning it is limited to showing proof to support the cruelty prong.
Yes, both sides can cross

I am imagining the look on JA's face when she walks into hear the verdict... will she oblivious or scared shitless?

oblivious...

[jingles]

Interesting.......HLN changed their tune from "it's been almost 4 days" TO "it's been 15 hours"
How fucking typical is that?

The only time they didn't hit the gong and scream, "BREAKING NEWS OUT OF PHOENIX!!!" (lunch, juror taking a leak, blah, blah) was WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED THERE WAS A FREAKING VERDICT!

[Freaktab]

I think Jodi's new book is going to be Two places to see before you die[U]

The two entries will be the inside of a cell and the death chamber!

I sure hope so

[ShellJett]

I'm just praying they did the right thing... my gut tells me they did.

I have had the same feeling all along. It never crossed my mind that it would be anything less than Murder 1.

[mariposa1369]

Anything is possible!!!

She has gotta be scared. Maybe they drugged her.

[Pywackett]

When I read earlier that some of the jurors were laughing in the elevator, I had a pretty good feeling that they were close. When I was on Jury duty, we deliberated for 8 days and we certainly were not laughing at the court or at home either. We were all pissed at the jurors who were holding out, man was it tense in that room. If found guilty of Murder 1, I wonder what Jodi's reaction will be. I predict the usual cold stare and a head shake. In her delusional mind, I bet she will think that she can still get out of it through appeal.
