Not just HLN... but they certainly helped.

Engorged tragedy tick.

Fuckin love Jon Stewart.

No not just them but I think that channel helped make the trial fascination as big as it was, earlier than anyone else.
And they're so over the top.
Love Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert!

Of course you are. You are hanging out on a forum that obsesses about death, murder, mayhem.... etc.

ahem. As someone who's been here for years, I know crazy when I see it.

Many of us were looking forward to the "Jodi" trial. Then, it turned out to be so overthetop crazy and so attractive to the crazy that hadn't yet found us that our happy little mad house was over ran. Kind of hard to take, that's all.

Thank you for this response.

I got here because of the trial, but I have found a lot of other threads that have also interested me.

[Angiebla]

God... I hope I'm not considered "crazy".......

I don't think you are at all.

I think there are a lot of reasons people could get sucked into a particular case. I think it has happened to all posters here. This case is a phenomena in how it has attracted a larger than usual number of whackadoos, in addition to the.intelligent posters like yourselves. I hope you all stay around .

Thank you that's very sweet of you to say. (Even though I don't know if you were talking to me or not).

I know this, when I finally do go off on someone in that thread, it's going to be epic. My goal is to be banned so hard my monitor explodes.

If you are being serious about this you have to alert me before you think you are going to blow because I don't want to miss it, but I also don't feel like going back into that thread unless I have a good reason to.

I must admit, I'm over it. Too many serial posters. I'm very busy watching Charles Ramsey remix vids now.

Of course as soon as I vow to never return to the main thread that's the exact moment when shit gets interesting there.

Noooo! Don't look at the light! Look away!!! Just kidding, it's way more interesting in here lately.

Well, There's one thing I know... My future in politics is in the shitter because of this site.

It wouldn't shock me if Ms Arias didn't get the DP. I can see the premeditation in her actions but it's vague premed. There is no one neon glaring fact.
Yes her grandparent's gun was allegedly stolen, but no direct proof that she had it.
Yes, he was stabbed but there is zero proof that she packed a shiv
Yes, the gas cans, and this to me is the strongest premed factor.
Added together it all makes sense to us but we have details the jury doesn't and the jury may find her age and sex to be stronger than what we see as premeditation factors.

The jury has already found her guilty of premeditated murder.
They now are deciding on life or death due to aggravating and mitigating factors. How much did Travis suffer? Does Jodi have any redeeming qualities? We are to hear from The medical examiner again on the cruelty/suffering. And then from Travis' family and friends as well as Jodi's I assume.

what I was saying is that I don't think they will see the premed as a strong factor in giving her the DP. I think that, combined with her age and her gender, will have them vote against the DP. No matter how much we say we want it, I'd imagine it's very difficult to actually vote for it.

I'm waiting to see how JM presents Dr Horne's testimony goes before I hazard a guess on how they might vote and what the defense response is. Will Jenny try to go after Horne again and risk further alienating the jury?

Wednesday testimony will be painful to listen to and graphic in nature. TA suffered 28 stab wounds and then a slit to the throat. He saw her stab him in the back in the reflection in the mirror.

What the fuck do your homes look like? Tell me at least your dishes are done. Nevermind that marriage you signed up for.

All healthily spanned over the last 4 years. I am pretty sure some of the Jodi fans surpassed that shit within 2 weeks.

The way they were raised, maybe?

And now you bring my momma into it.

I thought the state was going for cruelty as the factor for the death penalty. I could be wrong though.

All of the jurors were asked individually, before the trial started if they were able to sentence the defendant to death. Anyone who couldn't do that was not selected to serve on this jury.

I'm sure yo mama is aight.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say that metis is from good stock speaking of mama's...happy belated Mothers Day to the mothers! I know I'm a day late and sometimes a dollar short but it's the thought that counts or something like that

Angie you are absolutely correct, premeditation will not factor into whether she gets the DP at all. Premed. is what got her convicted of M1.

Right now we're in the sentencing proceeding of the trial which consists of 2 parts, the aggravation phase and the penalty phase. The judge ruled in 2009 that the state had proven the aggravating circumstance of a crime committed in an 'especially heinous, cruel or depraved manner'. (She ruled against the 'heinous' and 'depraved' prongs saying the state hadn't proved them but they were able to prove cruelty.) So we'll hear from the ME about the blood evidence down the hall and the defensive wounds on Travis's hands proving he was conscious during the stabbing and did suffer.

The state must prove cruelty beyond a reasonable doubt and the jury must be unanimous in its verdict. Then, assuming the jury finds cruelty applies we go on to the penalty phase where the defense presents whatever mitigating factors they feel are sufficient to call for leniency, i.e. LWOP instead of DP.
