If she does sign her rights away and just take the death penalty, will there still be victim impact statements, or is this her one way to avoid facing the family?

We don't know that she "lost it" at all. This is all speculation driven by the media.
She would have been on put on suicide watch automatically after her conviction on first degree murder anyway. Her media interview last night certainly didn't help.
She is a manipulator and she's proving that right now!
So as cold as this might sound I say "Fuck a bunch of Jodi Arias's lies/manipulations and fuck her". She's been threatening to off herself for 15 years or more. Do you really think she doesn't love, just love, all of this attention?
They can get her to the point where she can aid in her own defense within 4-5 days. She doesn't have to be kayoed to be in court.
I understood it to be suicidal hold. Watch simply means that the officer or psychiatric tech sits in a defined distance (usually arm's length) and watches. usually there is policies that dictate how to watch (meaning they must have their eyes on the prisoner and nothing else) I think they mean "hold" which means the laws governing suicidality dictate a 48 or 72 hour hold to evaluate whether or not the person is a danger to themselves or other by virtue of a mental disorder. The person can be held against their will. Dangerousness is not delineated according to a criminal ideology but rather to a diagnosable mental disorder.
I would imagine she might get medication, but the medications selected will target behaviors.
I am guessing it is a little bit of both. I think her sentence was a shock. Its almost like she is delusional, her perception continued to be that Travis is the bad guy. Look she held it together for about 4 hours after the verdict.
According to the laws of health care confidentiality, we might never know. Health and mental health care providers fear lawsuits surrounding HIPPA. Mental health, substance abuse and HIV laws of confidentiality are much more restrictive than regular HIPPA laws.
Yes, but you gotta make them safe first to be able to medicate them.
Im sure this is part of the mix too!
WOW! What fucking NERVE they have. I hope this Judge says "denied" They have tried to stifle the Alexander family since this case began. Tried to stop them from wearing their ribbons. Now, trying to deny them the right to give their victim impact statements before the court?? Jodi was allowed to ramble her jaw off for 18 days, while the family had to sit there and listen. They had to endure agony of the testimony, evidence.....and they did so with remarkable grace. She did this. She caused this. The jury said so....GUILTY of murder in the 1st. As long as the judge provides protection for Jodi, so that the family can't kill her (and do us all a favor), they have the RIGHT to speak about how this has impacted their lives because that is most certainly important for the jury to hear. This is a time when emotion and the rights of the victim outweigh any rights of hers. The judge will caution them to hold their behavior in check, and there is NO reason for the court to doubt that they won't.....they have already demonstrated that they can certainly do that. Someone needs to grab her, on the way to her cell, and snap her fucking neck. UGH She was so brave when she wielded her weapons against an unarmed and innocent man......she needs to face the music, now. What a POS she is.![]()
My bite is worse than my bark!
1. I kinda do too. (now JW? Noooooo way!) He must have been FUMING when she did that interview. She is a nightmare of a client. He did what he had to do....and did the best he could. I take that back.....he could have done more or better, but I think he felt why should he. I don't think he liked her on the 10th day either.
2. Another thing I don't get, he wants to defend sex criminals, yet he stayed on and on with the TA was a pedophile and a sex fiend theory.
3. Why does NG get on Jinkasaurus' case so much? Yet she cajoles and laughs with the nutbag Susan Moss. Perhaps she is threatened by the Jink? She asks Jink a question and when Jink answers with the right answer........NG screams at her that Jink didn't give some ridiculous response showing all her anger and crap ala NG. The other day one of her attorney guests sold her to "relax and not get her manicure in a mess" OOOOOOOOO NG lost it on him.....I'll have you know, I am a working mom of 5 year old twins and dont pull your BS inferior women crap on me" LOL and he respond "Nancy, I am a working dad of 3 year old twins" and she just cut him off and talked right over him. Then she asks this guy today a question and in the midst of him answering she stops with......"Why do you have a tan? You should be in a law library.....blah blah"
Her poor husband'
In the conclusion, on the last page, it mentions that they want the victim impact statements so that objections can be raised in advance. You know the Defense would be trying to only allow certain clips of the videotapes to be played. That's awful if the family isn't allowed to say all they want to say. It's also awful, if they are allowed to give their statements live in court and the defense is objecting throughout their statement. Ugh.
You just gave all the reasons that this motion will be denied. I see this as another Hodi trick to get her way.
This judge has not maintained a great courtroom atmosphere, IMHO, but keep in mind she is elected to the bench. If she granted this motion, it would be over for her. I am sure she is aware of this fact and she won't even consider it.
Again, just my opinion.
Exactly....if she wanted to commit suicide she would have done it a long time ago....PLUS she wouldn't be yapping about it nonstop. AND if she is to be <cough cough> believed <cough cough> when she tried to kill herself in jail....she had to stop because the razor stung her when she tried.
I'm watching her post conviction interview. Who the fuck would say, "if I'd been honest from the beginning" as opposed to "if I'd never fucking gone there that night!"
To her the "beginning" of this tragedy is after she'd slaughtered TA! What a narcissistic, three nasty hole, skank! If there were any DP holdouts before this little bullshit stunt, I hope this sways their opinion of what she truly deserves.
I think she lost it today
In the video on this page at about the 1min mark they talked about armed security guards going into the court room (along with ones already in there) for some reason
I dont know why they would need extra security inside the courtroom other than to probably contain jodi
"Were you crying when you were stabbing him? How about when you cut his throat, were you crying then?"
"The difference between a Stumbling Block and Stepping Stone is the Character of the individual walking the path"
Wow. She's scared is what she is. She knows her ego is going to take another hit in front of the entire world and she wants to avoid it. It's all about her.
Oh I'll bet she did. She's pissed that the jury didn't sway the way they wanted them to. She pissed that half the world hates her. None of it's going her way and she's gonna be a little bitch now.

I personally am not convinced that Nurmi and Wilmont are not part and parcel of this whole scheme. Wouldn't be surprised at all to hear they helped her plan the entire interview and what ever happened today.
I feel bad for Nancy Grace's husband and keep waiting for her long lost fiance to rise from the grave and reclaim her to give her the life she missed out on. She is as bad as Jodi Arias in a "respectable" sort of way. She's a narcissistic drama queen and it's all about her while she is whining it's all about Jodi Arias.
