    Oops my bad. I thought I heard him say that but I guess I was wrong. It was kind of crazy though how him and Dr. Drew starting flipping out on each other.

    Enough with this dog and pony show. I was going to be happy if she either got LWOP or the DP. Now? Just give her the fucking needle already. I'm tired of her bullshit.

    I understood it that way as well. No ruling. Mark was speculating.

    My guess is that the judge ruled victim statements won't be via video, she flipped out BIG time and that's why her mama said she hoped the jury didn't see it. She hates Travis's family as much as she hated Travis. She also doesn't like to be confronted with her bad behavior; e.g., she moved out of the house instead of taking her parental punishment.

    Court officials said by email that Thursday's court proceedings have been sealed.
    Court documents obtained by ABC15 read in part, "Ms. Arias requests that any and all victim impact evidence be presented via videotape so as to prevent any unpredictable outbursts that interfere with the rights due Ms. Arias..."

    MS. ARIAS IS A SCUM SUCKING SKANK!!!!!!!!!

    I just watched Dr. Drew and heard that Jodi's mom was refused visitation at the jail psych unit. There's only one reason the staff would refuse the visit and that is that Jodi is in restraints or locked seclusion. Many of you wanted Jodi to have a complete meltdown in court...to flip her shit...to go berzzerk, I think she did. Im guessing (and again this is based upon working in forensic psychiatry) she is full of rage that is either self-directed or directed at the staff.

    I want her to get the death penalty not so much because I want her to die..but I want her to be isolated. If she gets LWOP she will be in general population and socializing and living a life..at least some kind of life....I want her on death row...isolated and alone..almost no human contact and no spotlights shining on her....THAT would be the ultimate punishment for her

The court needs to order her to actually pay attention to the victim impact statements, rather than coloring in her coloring books, or scribbling madly in her journal. She needs to spend that couple minutes actually looking at the victims family and paying fucking attention!
    She should be given an enforced baldy so she can't hide behind that God Dam hair curtain of hers!

    Soooo staged! I think she more afraid of having to leave the limelight, than her fate! No light shining on her, would be like death to her! I also think she DOES want the DP, because it will give her MORE attention than rotting away, hidden in prison, with LWOP!

    She is so cray cray, she believes her own lies. In that way she will feel like a martyr for the cause of Domestic Violence! "Look at me! They're going to kill me for defending myself from an abuser!" This is much more comfortable than the reality of "I am a depraved monster, who murdered a man, in cold blood!"

    She has NO boundaries when it comes to the preservation of her ego, and as we have witnessed, she will go to ANY lengths!

    Haven't read the thread since this a.m., so, without doing it, here's my short version of what happened, (more accurately, what didn't happen), in court today.

    Got there at 10:30 a.m., well in advance of the scheduled 1:00 p.m. starting time set for the Aggravation Phase. Secured seat number six which definitely put me in a position to get into this phase of the trial. (Thanks Faq for being at the end of the telephone for the periodic progress reports I was trying to send out while waiting for the big moment). The crowd was sparse at the trial watcher's end of the floor and, of course, all the talk was about yesterday's verdict--and lots and lots of rehashing the details that have been talked about since almost the beginning. Folks aren't sated by the simple Guilty verdict. They still want to discuss how it came to be. Everybody has their own version of what went on in the Juror's minds and in that room. Nobody knows exactly, but that doesn't stop anyone from speculating.

    Katie and her two companions arrived a little later and occupied seats 7, 8 and 9.

    Just around noon, Tanisha Alexander appeared with the intention of greeting the people waiting and to thank them for their support. It was touching and everybody got a hug. Classy lady! Especially double classy in the circumstances and as gracious and humble as anyone could be.

    We waited, until about 1:20 and watched the priority people get off the elevators and enter the courtroom, (Jurors, Press, etc.) A few minutes later, one of the Alexanders' friends appeared, (the blonde lady from Salt Lake City who was Travis's freind) and invited and escorted Katie and her two friends into the courtroom. (That pissed some people off. What's this with the priority treatment and the gatekeeper role? They're just other members of the trial watching public, etc.) Ten minutes after that, one of the female bailiffs appeared, stopped about twenty feet away and announced, "No Court today," turned and left. That was it!! I waited a bit then walked up to the courtroom doors to see if I could find out what was going on. They were locked. I didn't see what happened to the people who had gone inside earlier. They either left when I wasn't looking or were still inside. Beth Karas, Jean Kasaras(what's her name?) and another HLN/CNN reporter were there discussing some aspect of the case amongst themselves and Beth was explaining the intricacy of the law in a particular circumstance. I didn't really grasp what the issue was since I heard only part of the conversation. I introduced myself, told them how much I appreciated their analysis of the issues during various points of the Trials I'd seen them cover and they responded warmly and graciously. The other reporter, told me about covering the story of the guys who planned to blow up the train back east but were caught before they could carry out the plan. We had a little chat, he thanked me for the insights I shared with him, (it happened in my part of the world and I know the community these guys came from.)

    At that point, nobody had any idea why court had been cancelled. This was known. Martinez was there ready to go and he had Dr. Kevin Horn on deck ready to put him on the stand. Anybody can say anything they want about Juan-about his intense, hyper approach to witnesses; frantic pace, losing his train of thought, etc., etc., but he is the one figure in this whole trial who has been as steady as a rock and always there to do his duty. Today was more proof of that.

    I went downstairs and outside stood around for a while watching Jane VM filming parts of her broadcast set for this evening. Some facts: Arias family left through the back door, (Jefferson St?) and walked alone to the parking lot and took off. Grandma was in a wheelchair. Alexander family also left through the back door with a court-security escort. Speculation is that Jodi Arias had some sort of a psychic breakdown when her lawyers confronted her about her interview with Fox 10; she was being held in the psych ward, (cells) of the jail, etc. etc. Nothing was confirmed at that time--it was all speculation. It's obvious that Arias was the cause of the cancellation. The trial will not resume until next Wednesday. I'll be gone. I gave it two of my best but it looks like I'll never get into that courtroom when the action is going on. Jodi ruins everything.

    Ever feel like you're not wanted somewhere or that the fates are conspiring against you? Welcome to my week. Cheers to all of you. You had a better seat for the action than I did and you weren't even here. I take that back. I got to feel the Verdict rush right here where it happened. It was electric. Jodi does not ruin everything.

    I wonder if that raises the possibility of an indefinite delay in the final 2 phases of the trial..? I mean they can't have a shackled or heavily medicated (or both) JA slouched in her chair in court...

    She does everything she can to hide this rage! Including acting, unnaturally, the opposite! Do you think she showed some of that in the presence of others today, i.e, flipping out? Is she likely to be medicated right now? Do you know what 'under watch' means? Is it just suicide watch?

    So many questions!!!

I think she was truly shocked by the verdict and is now playing the victim in a different manner. She is getting all kinds of attention on the Psych ward, and she enjoys the concern about her well-being. She is all about winning, and she is unwilling to relinquish power to the jury and the Alexanders to decide her fate.

    The Sheriff department knew about this on Sunday and they didn't have to let media into the holding cell area after the verdict. They could have, at minimum made her wait to do the interview until she got back to the Estrella Jail..

    FOX10 Phoenix had to get permission from the MCSO to get into the holding cell area so the excuse/story they didn't know is straight out bullshit.

    And this proves it:

Again, not sympathetic, I just get it is all.
    DING DING DING plus the fact that she knew if the verdict came back 1st degree then then she was going to automatically put on suicide watch. It's foolish to think she didn't.

    There was an ex parte meeting with the Felon and her attorneys with the Judge in chambers. Probably a fight over who was first trying fire the other.

    She is doing what she always does to get attention, because it works. All of last night, this morning leading up the scheduled court session at 1pm and then the rest of today has been all about HER. Not the jury's decision, not the Alexander family and certainly not Travis Alexander, the real victim in this case.

    It could also be that she refused to see her Mom and her Mom said what she said to save face for both herself and her convicted felon of a daughter.

    At that point, nobody had any idea why court had been cancelled. This was known. Martinez was there ready to go and he had Dr. Kevin Horn on deck ready to put him on the stand. Anybody can say anything they want about Juan-about his intense, hyper approach to witnesses; frantic pace, losing his train of thought, etc., etc., but he is the one figure in this whole trial who has been as steady as a rock and always there to do his duty. Today was more proof of that.

    I went downstairs and outside stood around for a while watching Jane VM filming parts of her broadcast set for this evening. Some facts: Arias family left through the back door, (Jefferson St?) and walked alone to the parking lot and took off. Grandma was in a wheelchair. Alexander family also left through the back door with a court-security escort. Speculation is that Jodi Arias had some sort of a psychic breakdown when her lawyers confronted her about her interview with Fox 10; she was being held in the psych ward, (cells) of the jail, etc. etc. Nothing was confirmed at that time--it was all speculation. It's obvious that Arias was the cause of the cancellation. The trial will not resume until next Wednesday. I'll be gone. I gave it two of my best but it looks like I'll never get into that courtroom when the action is going on. Jodi ruins everything.

    Ever feel like you're not wanted somewhere or that the fates are conspiring against you? Welcome to my week. Cheers to all of you. You had a better seat for the action than I did and you weren't even here. I take that back. I got to feel the Verdict rush right here where it happened. It was electric. Jodi does not ruin everything.

    Thanks bud, it has been a real pleasure getting to know you. I look forward to chatting more in the future. Even though I wasn't there with you the past 2 days, I felt somewhat like I was by talking to you on the phone. Godspeed and a prosperous journey back to Palm Springs!

    Why not? All she has to do is sit there and color!

    Got there at 10:30 a.m., well in advance of the scheduled 1:00 p.m. starting time set for the Aggravation Phase. Secured seat number six which definitely put me in a position to get into this phase of the trial. (Thanks Faq for being at the end of the telephone for the periodic progress reports I was trying to send out while waiting for the big moment). The crowd was sparse at the trial watcher's end of the floor and, of course, all the talk was about yesterday's verdict--and lots and lots of rehashing the details that have been talked about since almost the beginning. Folks aren't sated by the simple Guilty verdict. They still want to discuss how it came to be. Everybody has their own version of what went on in the Juror's minds and in that room. Nobody knows exactly, but that doesn't stop anyone from speculating.

    Katie and her two companions arrived a little later and occupied seats 7, 8 and 9.

    Just around noon, Tanisha Alexander appeared with the intention of greeting the people waiting and to thank them for their support. It was touching and everybody got a hug. Classy lady! Especially double classy in the circumstances and as gracious and humble as anyone could be.

    We waited, until about 1:20 and watched the priority people get off the elevators and enter the courtroom, (Jurors, Press, etc.) A few minutes later, one of the Alexanders' friends appeared, (the blonde lady from Salt Lake City who was Travis's freind) and invited and escorted Katie and her two friends into the courtroom. (That pissed some people off. What's this with the priority treatment and the gatekeeper role? They're just other members of the trial watching public, etc.) Ten minutes after that, one of the female bailiffs appeared, stopped about twenty feet away and announced, "No Court today," turned and left. That was it!! I waited a bit then walked up to the courtroom doors to see if I could find out what was going on. They were locked. I didn't see what happened to the people who had gone inside earlier. They either left when I wasn't looking or were still inside. Beth Karas, Jean Kasaras(what's her name?) and another HLN/CNN reporter were there discussing some aspect of the case amongst themselves and Beth was explaining the intricacy of the law in a particular circumstance. I didn't really grasp what the issue was since I heard only part of the conversation. I introduced myself, told them how much I appreciated their analysis of the issues during various points of the Trials I'd seen them cover and they responded warmly and graciously. The other reporter, told me about covering the story of the guys who planned to blow up the train back east but were caught before they could carry out the plan. We had a little chat, he thanked me for the insights I shared with him, (it happened in my part of the world and I know the community these guys came from.)

    Ian, I just wish I could hug you right now.

    So many questions!!!
    If she really flipped out, I'd bet she's in "the chair". Oh, what a lovely vision that is...even if I'm wrong and she's still in her quilted piano dress.
