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

[faq_q]

Well said! She won't die immediately on dealth row! She will be there 12 years. Alone in a cell. 1 appliance (tv or radio?) and 2 phone calls a week. Alone will be the worst thing because who will she have to manipulate? lol
Life in prison she will learn to thrive like she has the past 5yrs. I heard Travis' sister in an interview (the one who is in law enforcement) and she said she will have happiness with LWOP. Friends and interaction with many women as well as law enforcement.. She said she doesn't want her to have any happiness.

Hmmm...they get a tv or radio? If she gets a tv I wonder if they could put it on a endless loop of Bob Ross painting for the rest of her life? Every channel she changes to is Bob onto another painting. That would be hell to me.

This is rich, she's such a fucking coward. She flings herself in front of a tv camera last night and now she wants the Alexander family's victim impact statements to be presented to the jury via videotape but she's afraid to face them while they stand to deliver them at the podium looking at her in the face.

Fuck her and her bullshit.

Indeed. She is repulsive.

Personally, I think they should Clockwork Orange her ass during the victim impact phase, so she can't look away:



Ugh, this bitch is not bringing out my pretty side.

[AlisonL]

I asked this after the verdict and didn't see where it was answered. I know things move super fast and moved even faster after that FABULOUS M1 Guilty verdict!

Here goes....during the aggrivation/mitigation phases, will the prosecution be allowed to present evidence/info that was deemed "too prejudicial" for the trial? If anyone knows, I'd appreciate it =) Thanks, in advance!!

[Jinkasaurus]

Can someone spell out what the remaining steps are in this case?

pretty please!!!

[zeebee]

I agree, and you stated it very well. Jodi is responsible for what went into the defense, not the attorneys. They didn't make up the story, Jodi did. Plus, Jodi called all the shots. That's the way it works. I do think both Nurmi and Jen threw in some gratuitous nastiness in some of their comments and questions that I don't think was necessary, but apart from that, I can't really fault them, even though they made me furious and annoyed on a daily basis. They were doing their job, which they are ethically required to do by supplying Jodi with a zealous defense.

Also, I am likewise glad that there are attorneys willing to take on defense clients, even reprehensible ones, because our justice system is part of what sets us apart from countries where the accused has few or no rights. Is it infuriating on an individual case basis when someone horrible like Jodi spews lies for months and trashes the victim, but it is still better than the alternative. Even with all Jodi's lies, justice prevailed, and at this point I am pleased that KN and JW did such a super thorough job defending Jodi because it will make a successful appeal almost impossible.

I also agree, whole heartedly!

Fuck her and her bullshit.

I wonder if this is referring to Jodi's family giving victim impact statements via video on her behalf? Family members of the defendant are usually allowed to make impact statements too, so I wonder if this request was filed because some of Jodi's family, like her father, cannot travel to Phoenix due to health and maybe financial hardships.

I've been staring at that creature for 4 months now & have discovered that it's taken me to a place I really don't want to be -- if I get in touch with The Real Crazy part of me, here's what I see: The woman has no wrinkles. I don't care how old she is, a normal person starts to get wrinkles after a while. From smiling. From grinning. From laughing. From frowning. From worrying. From stressing. From emotions. The woman doesn't have a wrinkle on her face. Plus her eyes are dead. I think there's a serious flaw in her DNA that's turned her into (for want of a better word) a sort of mutant. Not in the X-Files way; in a way that makes her just a vacuum inside. (See? This is what happens when a person stares at her too long!)

I think she's beyond fucked-up but I do NOT think she's crazy. I think she's cold and calculating and just does not give one fuck. She's doing what she wants to do; as somebody said last night, "That's just Jodi being Jodi," which is just horrific.

I also think that she must've gone seriously off her rocker when the Boston bombing happened. In the middle of her trial! How dare they! Must've seriously pissed her off to have that attention diverted from her.

And finally, I think what little there is inside her is going to be completely erased as soon as the Next New, Big Thing comes along. And it will; it always does. Pretty soon, a more terrible person who did a more terrible thing is going to come on the scene, steal her thunder and she'll pretty much disappear. And I'm betting that's the last thing she wants, but it'll happen and the attention will be focused elsewhere. Fuck you, arias.

Was Nurmi even there yesterday? I only saw Jenn and Maria.

[Sea2Sky]

I think that it was her extended family. Not her Mom.

I'd still like to know 'who's been paying for accom & out-of-pocket expenses for JA's immediate family.

So Jodi was wearing this last night....

LMAO, too funny, perfect!

[Sea2Sky]

My boyfriend and I noticed that the only time out of the entire trial that she showed true emotion was yesterday when she was given her sentence. First time she was crying out of her eyes and not her nose.

Considering the verdict, I thought she was cool as a popsicle but her big red nose was right on cue.

[TheRudeDog]

Terrific. First time & double-post. Sorry.

[Reaper-Creeper]

My understanding is that he would have to be there or they would have had to wait for him.

[RockinRobyn]

Has her entire post conviction interview been posted anywhere!? I'm exhausted watching the same 4 minutes and they said there were 45 minutes of interview. If anyone knew, I'm sure it's someone here at MDS.

[TheHamburglar]

There are links a few pages back in this thread. Sorry on mobile and can't quote and it's annoying to go search for them.

Welcome !!
True concerning the wrinkles... I smile a lot, & HAVE the wrinkles to prove it :)

I think the next big trial will be http://mydeathspace.com/vb/showthrea...p-Peatross-(46)

NO worries, happens to the best of us (but silly to post about it :)

Can someone spell out what the remaining steps are in this case?

pretty please!!!

Aggravation phase

Tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. ET, the case will move on to the aggravation phase, which will be like a miniature trial.

The prosecution will have a chance to present additional evidence in an attempt to prove Alexander?s death was caused in a cruel manner. Arizona law defines this as when the victim suffers physical pain or mental anguish, and the defendant knew or should have known that the victim would suffer.

The jury would then deliberate for a second time to determine if the aggravating factor of cruelty is proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The jurors must agree unanimously about whether Arias is guilty of cruelty.

Sentencing phase

If the jury does not find Arias guilty of cruelty, the case ends and the judge will set a sentencing date within 30 to 60 days. At the sentencing, the judge will decide whether to sentence Arias to life in prison without parole, or life with parole eligibility after 25 years.

If the jury decides cruelty is proven beyond a reasonable doubt, the case moves to the sentencing phase.

This is the defense?s opportunity to ask the jury for leniency and present evidence supporting why Arias should be spared from the death penalty. Witnesses may include Arias? friends and family. Arias could also make a statement to the jury pleading for her life to be spared.

The jury then deliberates for a third time to determine whether Arias should be sentenced to life or death. Their decision must be unanimous. In the case of a deadlock, a mistrial would be granted and a new jury would be chosen for this phase only.

If the jury votes for the death penalty, Arias would be sentenced immediately, and she is likely to be sent to death row within hours.

If the jury chooses a life sentence instead, the judge will set a sentencing date within 30 to 60 days and, at that time, will sentence Arias to life in prison without parole or life with eligibility for parole after 25 years.

No matter what the verdict is, if Arias is sentenced to jail time she will get credit for the four-and-a-half years she has been incarcerated awaiting trial.

I agree, very well said. I have said all along that she is empty inside. Like a facsimile of a real person. She has learned some strategies to try and appear normal, but that doesn't make it genuine. I had not thought about it, but I bet the Boston situation did piss her off, for exactly the reasons you say.
