O/T blink are you going do A Sniederman trial
I am up to my ears in caseload commitments I have not finished malty, although I am desperately trying to, so unless I can get that work done, I won’t be able to unfortunately.

Tell me Jodi doesn’t sound like “C Word”. If you are being sarcastic, is it really an apology?
http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/07/jodi-arias-twitter-taxpayers-death-penalty-hearing-travis-alexander/
I really dislike Jodi more than “C” She is just such a person who gets to me more
I wish they would move this along and we never see her again DP or LWOP
Ok Blink I understand Take care of your self to and plus
We care
I am very grateful for that malty and I thank you.

I sm in Italy and have not been able to resist taking a ” casual survey” with relatives, friends and new acquaintances regarding level of awrenes and opinion of Arias trial. Am wondering if there is some statistcal evidence that all people who are travellig in Italy in July have only vague idea of the case, and could care less about the whole thing, but i fear my approach would fail to meet any kind of scientific standards- even remotely, lol.
BUT an Irish couple, standing in the same line I was in at an ATM, offered an interesting perspective
They were interested in the claims of pedophilia that Arias put forth, because their country is reeling from court cases of abuse victims that have pressed charges years later against various priests. But instead of being sympathetic to Arias, , their position was, if Travis was pedophile, what did that have to do with Arias killing him, unless it was connected somehow to Arias sense of personal injustice due to sexual abuse she herself had suffered as a child…. I pointred out that the alleged pedohile letters were improperly presented- only copies from an unnamed source- and also were judge as fakes, and that Arias has NEVER said she herself was the victim of pedophilia.
They ask, ” if she was capable of having amnesia about the stabbing, was she know capable of having amnesia about any childhoods sexual abuse she had suffered? And if she had been an abuse victim, would she kill Travis to avenge her own childhood sexual abuse, the way that inmates always seem to go after pedophiles in jail? All I could offer is that I believed the defense wanted to present this simply to highlight that he was a bad guy, and that when she discovered his prediliiction, she was under threat of death from him from that point on… so in a way it wasn’t about him being a pedophile as much as it was about HER being in danger, (and the object of his anger and emotional abuse), because she ” knew his secret” Their joint response? ” maybe he knew HER secret”.
Interesting to me that even people who were open to the angle of pedophilia fail to see what that has to do with her killing him. But neither “would wish the death penalty on anyone” . Then it was their turn to use their ATM cards, and Arias as a topic dissapated into nothingness in the face of a beautiful Roman night.
Has intelligent interest in this trial run its course even without a completion? Kinda looks like it, from here.
@whodunnit
How wonderful to be in Italy
You ask has intelligent interest run its course
There are other cases besides Jodi that hold my interest at this time
Also as time goes on I find I really don’t care for her one little bit And she loves attention to much for my tastes
I am not going let her have my attention 24/7 Did that already
Hey enjoy yourself
I thought I would share this. The day is coming up soon.
http://travisalexander.org/1st-annual-travis-alexander-legacy-day-of-service/
Let me know when the ban on ‘Fred’ is lifted. I’ll be back.
ROTFL
B
OT. @ whodunnit. Catch the Siena Music Festival if you are nearby.
(for conductor, Rossi)
Not from Eire, but I don’t think pedophilia had anything to do with Arias or Travis.
Just another bit ‘o Jodi blarney.
just got back from vacation in the poconos. i brought “The Gift of Fear” with me. To my suprise, my 22 year old sister picked it up and read it all in one day at the pool. My dad told me that when he took her out to get drinks later that night, all she could do was talk about the book to my dad, he said he’s never seen her that enthusiastic about something so serious and important ever. so then my dad read it, and my mom, and my brother, all in a weeks vacation. thank you so much blink for the recommendation!
while they were all reading this, I was reading “Gone GIrl” which I liked up until the terrible ending so now I strongly dislike the book but the whole time I was reading, I kept being reminded of Jodi Arias by the female character…which leads me to the second point of this post…
i have been doing a lot of thinking. maybe overanalyzing as my dad always says “over analysis causes brain paralysis,” but wouldn’t Jodi’s defense team be better off just taking their chances in a retrial, knowing that even if she gets death it will be overturned on appeal, and because of so many glaring errors in the trial she might even get a chance at a new trial (long shot i know but just wondering). I feel like the only deal the prosecution would accept would be LWOP and no appeals (is this legal?)
@Rose
I agree about the pedophilla. Jodi didn’t know much about it or she would know she could not help
Some one who was by giving good sex
Jodi is smart enough but about a lot of stuff she seems to have stayed in a bedroom
To long
I will never believe Travis was a pedo
Pedophilla just the word makes most people want to puke
I think Jodi was way out of line
back from Italy- (@ Rose- no music festivals, daughter injure her ankle, but I managed to get both my twins to the Colloseum and other amazing stunning breathtaking places- daughter in a wheelchair, son in a gladiator helmet, me in state of stress and bliss… but all good and everyone is fine now!)
I have read that Nurmi once again has tried to get taken off the case, read the tweets from Arias, the statements from Montgomerey etc etc… For me, this break in the trial has had the same effect that the tide has when it washes up and clears the debris then goes back out to sea…leaving faint impressions of its furious power on the smoothed sand. And I am left wondering why have I invested so much emotion in this case, spent so much time trying to figure out what is right , what is wrong, what is true what is a lie , what is good and bad about our justice system. It is as though the elements in this trial drew me into examining the very depths of the human condition- but with no answers, only more questions.
@ sunshine- love your dad’s saying that ” over analysis causes brain paralysis”..! I do feel a brain freeze, that is for sure!
But bottom line, I am grateful to have found this on line community, will be here for the next round, whatever /whenever it is!
What an eloquent post, well said and welcome back!

@Malty
Jodi Arias = Sociopath. Hopefully soon she will sentenced never to be seen again.
Whodunnit
That expresses it all
Welcome back
Soon enough we will see Jodi
Again but I refuse to let her draw me in

hi Blink and all -hope all is well
Found some time, so Im Sticking my big toe back into the the water….
I found this recently:
http://wilcoonline.com/GeorgetownAdvocate-158.htm
as I read it, it reminded me of our discussions over whether or not a crime is just too brutal, and whether someone deserves a second chance or could be cured or rehabilitated after committing such a crime
and then as I read further, the question became;
if the answer is yes…. then do we as a society have the right to find them in their new life, and “out” who they once had been.. what violence they once were capable of.. even if at the time of the crime they were a child or adolescent?
No answers, just pondering
AJMO
Peace
ps Lyla, thanks for that link. I wish Travis’ family all the best I am sure his Birthday is a hard time for them, I am glad they thought to make it a day of service Still, i must say, i am a bit dismayed over (some?) of the jury members being invited/attending – it crosses a barrier that shouldnt be crossed IMO, and risks tainting a new jury moving forward JMUO.
Sight for sore eyes m’lady!! XOXO
I know my opinion is going to sound hardcore, but it has to be. In a recent class where I studied juvenile offenders, and as an adjunct violent crime escalation to include prior juvenile acts- I will say unequivocally at the very minimum, LE must have access, with oversight to this data. Wrt to someone with Jodi’s psycopathy- again, must lean to protect public over privacy.
The woman should never be permitted in society again, and I say this as I support the outcome of Andrea Yates. Yates, was also a victim of severe mental illness- but the treatable kind. I will never forget studying her case in depth, and having to keep putting it away because I did not yet develop the more clinical analyst coated shell. My point is, yes, it can be case by case, but even in Yates, I would feel because of her diagnosis that public safety must prevail.
XOXOXO to Pop.

Hi Blink,
XOXO
Good to be back.
My dad is doing ok. Thank you and thanks to all of you who cont. to keep my dad/me in your prayers.
IRT your response Blink
thanks for sharing your hard core opinion.
I understand.
Whenever I read the news about a repeat offender having a long history, I find myself feeling much more hard core, so I certainly get how your work can help define your thoughts on these issues. I know only some of the horrors you have faced in your work/study.
The knowledge that this person has reoffended leads us all to Fear each and every one of them will reoffend…
Fear usually pushes us to be hardcore-
But I cant help but think on this quote;
“Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.”
― Bertrand Russell
I think it isnt ever as simple as we would like… lock them up throw away the key …kill em all…
For every case we read about in the news there are many more who never reoffend
What about them?
Do their success stories count for anything? Do they deserve to be defined by the others-
This boy killed 3 people 3 family members in cold blood- and tried to cover it up- never really giving an explanation, never really showing any outward signs of remorse. He served his sentence- he was deemed fit for reentry to society- he went on to change his name and establish a life and a career.
Then this reporter went searching for the story of ” What Happened to Jim Wolcott?” .. tracked him down and “outed” him… just for curiosity’s sake…a story for which the author clearly understands how this story can effect this mans life, even if he describes it as offhandedly as “throwing a wrench in it”…
A wrench indeed, as the cries for St james’s resignation started and the looks and the whispering and the rest.
I mean at what point is a person worthy of a new start? At what point have they been punished enough? At what point is a person even a juvenile offender thru with serving their sentence? At what point do we deem them rehabilitated?
At what point have they earned the right to live life?
How can they ever hope to have a decent life if they are forever being judged by their horrible act?
Does the scrutiny only end when they sadly do reoffend – when the “I told ya so’s” are heard? when our Fear is justified?
WA Jodi? well I cant be so confident, as We still dont know what happened or why- and we know even less about her mental health-
As for those who are mentally ill- such as Yates, I dont have the answers but maybe we can start by offering/as part of the sentence long term mental health care to extend past incarceration/hospitalization.
I share your fear of that one RE offender Blink- but should fear dictate over every other law-abiding citizens rights?
I leave you with this quote someone shared w/me not too long ago;
“Fear is the lack of faith in one’s ability to create powerful solutions.”
Perhaps never giving up on finding that powerful
solution is half the battle…IDK
peace to you my friend, and thank you for sharing your hardcore journey with us
Most appreciated
AJMO

I am one of those folks that believe fear based decisions have rooted themselves in history to start wars, genocide, and a very fat list of atrocities that SHOULD prompt thought on it’s motivation overall.
What I would like to suggest is that protection be the guideline. Safety.
If one commits a crime that suggests that it’s act could compromise the public safety the individual is exposed to, that person must be willing to pay that price in terms of rehab, recidivism, or being publicly outed.
By committing such an act, which I believe is fairly quantifiable, that person relinquishes the right to privacy and adopts the understanding that protection of others- as far as that person is concerned, must prevail.
You know, it is an excellent conversation, but at the end of the day, I am very hard pressed to say that anything I have worked on was not preventable via public knowledge beforehand. Very few exceptions to that. If that is the benchmark, and I believe it mostly is, I am not so concerned about an offender.
I can also say that in cases where it is clear that something was preventable, my anger and angst get the best of me.

in nurmi’s latest motion, he shows that alternate juror Tara Kelly was on facebook posting something regarding Jodi Arias before the penalty phase was complete. even though she is an alternate, could this be used in an appeal and have some legs to it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi Sunshine, a mistrial was declared in the penalty phase. My understanding is that Nurmi’s motion pertains to any jurors who may be seated for the penalty phase retrial.
By the way, Sunshine, thanks for posting that link!
WRT Nurmi’s motion about demanding access to twitter accounts of any jury members:
If his concern is that by its nature social media, (and in this case twitter) creates a situation in which predjudical comments can reach the jury, thereby influencing them in a way that infringes upon the rights of the defendant, what then is Arias own responsibility with regard to same?
What is to be made of her own twitter account, in which can be found comments on the trial, a plea deal, conditions in jail, her claims of being a survivor of domestic violence etc?. There have been many statements made that Arias , while she is not able to post directly, is in phone contact with others who post her words on her behalf.
There is a website, Josiariasisinnocent which is a for the most part, a repository of comments that are all based on the premise that Alexander was a pedophile and violently beat and emotionally abused Arias with no proof that would stand up in court. There are commentors on that website that claim to have direct contact with Arias and her family, and explicit knowledge of ‘ facts” not presented to the jury.
The newest web page for Arias, Jodispage.com , includes her book club reviews, links to her twitter account , address to send mail to her in jail and so on. In the section of art for sale, an address and phone number is given, implying that there is a specific place for her artwork and t-shirts and the business of selling same. Yet this address and phone number do not exist, they are fake. There is no such place as ” 123 fun Street , San Francisco, 123456″. There is no such number as 123-456 7890. The only way to purchase the drawing for sale is to submit your own information first, after which you will be contacted, and “confidentialty is assured”. As to sending to her book club, they say don’t send any books, she has a full quota . So, what is the point of that website? Is it just a facade to create an impression that this is a fully functioning person? She is not posting anything that would lead one to believe that this is a person who is suffering greatly due to existing mental and emotional handicaps. Rather, the impression created , inadvertently or not, is that this is a rational person who has been unjustly treated. It just seems so manufactured, you know? But to what end?
Is Nurmi laying the groundwork to propose that all electronic devices belonging to the jury be monitored, to see if they are accessing sites that present innocence on Arias part? Or is it really just twitter accounts that bother him?
Could this motion be a pre emptive move on Nurmi’s part to get all social media considered off bounds in the mitigation phase?
Most importantly:
If Stephens rules that all tweets, under any circumstances, are to be wholly disregarded, would that include Arias tweets?
Certainly Arias postings, made alledgedly at Arias request, indicate at the very least a lack of true remorse – a vital element during mitigation when considering the sentencing.
Is that what Nurmi is really getting at? Trying to make sure that the postings of Arias are inadmissable during mitigation?
——
In general, the impact of social media is an intriguing topic, and brings up questions about sequestration in the 21st century-, just what measures must be taken to insure an untainted jury?
The wild card of social media is the fact that it is uncensored- and this has repercussions in every facet of our culture.
But like Nurmi’s motion questioning of the constitutional wording about “aggravation”, and his foiled attempt to overturn a 2002 case that held that a jury, as opposed to the judge, was responsible and empowered to decide on the death penalty in Arizona, he may be over reaching when trying to apply this thinking about social media to the Arias case- If for no other reason than she herself appears to be using social media to communicate about the case, clearly trying to reach as wide an audience as possible while she is on lock down 23 hours a day.
Her tweets could reach jurors too.
Thanks Graceinthehills!
I guess i’m just at the point where even if she is sentenced to death if they do go forward with retrying the penalty phase, i think she’ll get a good appelate team and this will be overturned. mine as well just keep her locked away. i just hope she’s never granted a new trial due to appelate issues
Hey all! Hope everyone had a great summer. Kinda went by too fast for my liking, but grateful for the blessings, big and small.
So…..does this not bother anyone? The sheriff…Big Joe whatshisname…claims there’s nothing he can do to stop Arias from tweeting. Seriously? It’s obvious she’s using this to sway potential jurors by appearing to be useful (I’m reading, I’m learning, I’m tweeting…blah blah blah).
…then….THEN…Arias has the audacity to challenge the courts to ensure potential jurors cannot use social media. I didn’t think they could, anyways….but killer gets free reign? How? Why? #BANGBANG
I can’t believe her defense hasn’t talked to her about ‘how this doesn’t help her cause…..at all’.
I can’t take the double standards.

Hi all!
Just some media updates
Status hearing Mon, Aug 26, 8:30a in Phoenix
http://www.hlntv.com/article/2013/08/22/what-you-need-about-know-jodi-arias-re-trial
[Airing live on HLN, 11:30a ET |
Arias files motion to preclude live media coverage of sentencing phase retrial:
http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/region_phoenix_metro/central_phoenix/jodi-arias-update-attorneys-file-motion-to-limit-media-coverage
FYI
HLN reporting today’s hearing moved up to September 26th.
The motion to access any potential jurors’ social media accounts seems like an invasion of privacy, imo. To me, this is just a mechanism the defense is using in order to try to seat an older jury (remember the four former jurors who voted for life were the older jurors according to one of the female jurors). Younger jurors are more likely to have twitter accounts.
JA does not have direct access to view or send tweets from the jail or prison. She is tweeting and reading what others tweet to her through friends/supporters outside of the jail.
I so hope the trial is not televised. I think JA loves putting on a show.

You are so welcome, Sunshine!
Sorry, moved up to September 16th!
Here is a link to the Arizona State law on cameras in courtrooms:
.
http://www.azcourts.gov/mediaroom/camerasincourt.aspx
——–
Personally, I dont care if I find out about this trial via live coverage- but the defense has a recurring theme of everything always being someone elses fault- Travis, twitter, live coverage etc. And that is what I am responding to.
As far as live coverage in the courtroom of the trial, Nurmi’s argument is that live coverage of the trial is responsible for death threats to witnesses ( La Violette, Womack), which in turn prevents Arias from having a fair trial. The other prong of his argument is that the camera equipment is being placed in an area thereby obstructing use of that area for its intended purpose.
I just have some logical question though-
1. How can a judge know if it is specifically the live cameras that caused the threats to take place?
A. The live footage was watched by millions. What is the difference between the millions of viewers who watched the trail live and did not make death threats, and those who watched the trail live and decided to make death threats? Have all the death threats come from people who knew nothing about the trial aside from the live TV coverage? Have ALL the individuals who made the death threats been arrested? Have they accounted for what led them to make the death threats? Was it only BECAUSE of the live tv coverage?
2. Is Nurmi claiming that eliminating live coverage puts an end to all death threats?
1.Nurmi’s motion is based on a presumption that live coverage will cause people to make death threats.
The first amendment guarantees freedom of press, to allow the public to have access to information about their government , their society, the world.If upon gathering that information, a citizen makes a choice to act in an illegal way ( making a death threat), we have laws in place to punish that individual.
Nurmi is asking that the publics freedom of press be taken away because they might turn into death threatening people if they view the live coverage. IMO ,he is presuming guilt.
Nurmi does an argument to make, but the core of that argument is sequestration, which has already been denied.
oh well. just my 2 cents worth. sorry for length. I guess I am getting caught up int hese legal aspects out of frustration that the case isn’t moving forward. Thanks for letting me post!
I missed today- bc of of work-:(, anybody have the details?
Judge to review defense motions set for September 16th.
http://www.hlntv.com/article/2013/08/26/live-blog-jodi-arias-back-court
Thank you Eloise for the update
I can’t help but feel a little sad for ALV And the threats
She really should have made a short statement and stepped down IMO
If they keep it off TV so be it
I was interested but can go without Hearing every word this time around

–
Love this thinking!! Totally agree that the older jurors may have viewed Arias actions as youthful error.may have believed she was just in love and naive, therefore deserved “a break”…
And yea, a younger juror may take great umbrage at being asked to give up twitter ( lol) Could Nurmi really be that cunning? Great theory.
Jodi’s plan is to delay,delay,delay by whatever means she can use. Nurmi is going along with this.
The public is entitled to view the trial at every part. Trying to prevent cameras in the court is just another delay tactic.
A convicted felon should not be allowed computer or phone access to the internet. This is not a hotel, it is a jail. Sheriff Joe needs to put a stop to it if indeed it is going on.
If the new jurors for the penalty phase are seated in September it will still take some time to get them up to speed so an informed decision can be made. At this point, I believe that LWOP is all that is possible. A greater penalty of death would automatically trigger a series of appeals which just eats up court time and costs money.
I was just about to post a whole thing about the Alyce La Violette interview, and beleive it or not, this following is my shortened version!…….
So many people that have involved themsleves with this case, turning over every peice of evidence, but ultimately feeling like there is nothing they can do EXCEPT make comments..
Yet ALV is a woman who would have an opportunity to “speak her truth”, but declines, citing the reaction of others to her testimony as so anxiety producing that her family wont let her testify for mitigation.
She was originally listed as a mitigation witness, not a witness for the case in chief. She and Womack were both given the opportunity by Judge Stephens to testify in a closed courtroom.BUt now, due to others hurtful words ( recurring theme), she will stay silent, except for paid interviews.
If Nurmi is truly about twitter and cameras in the courtroom, why isnt he concerned about LaViolette giving interviews?
On her current resume, LaVioltte lists 2009-” Expert Witness/Consultant. Interviewing alleged abused woman, collaterals, court appearance. Ongoing consulting with attorney.” I wonder if this the Arias case and if the ongoing consulation she lists is with DT for Arias. Most cv’s list specifics about the case, name and number etc- but hers does not. So it is not clear if ” ongoing consultation” for whatever the case is now over.
Oh well.
@ATG
(snipped) “A convicted felon should not be allowed computer or phone access to the internet. This is not a hotel, it is a jail. Sheriff Joe needs to put a stop to it if indeed it is going on.”
——————————————————————-
I totally agree! I thought Jodi was in a high security cell sans computer and phone access. This judicial process has to be excruciatingly painful for the Alexander family.
ATG and Lyla-
Regarding Jodi Arias Twitter account.
Sheriff Joe and Arias may beleive there is a loophole because technically she is not doing any physical posting herself. Also, technically she isn’t making a profit from the tweets themselves, though it could be argued that her tweets are a way of marketing her ” art work” – its a circular endless conversation- and maybe she isnt subject to some laws because she hasnt received sentencing yet, I dunno.
BUT
ButI I’m wondering what responsibility the people who ARE posting do have
The posts are in first person. They are designed to communicate that this is indeed Jodi Arias talking.
I am wondering if this can be categorized as impersonating someone on line.
Why?
Because laws are being passed that make impersonating a person on line illegal.
In TEXAS- ( hi ATG!) it is considered a third degree felony and punishable with up to ten years jail time.
And evidently, as of Jan 2013, Arizona is considering a bill that is just as strict as Texas- here is link to article
http://business.time.com/2013/01/22/can-you-go-to-jail-for-impersonating-someone-online/
referring to my previous post at 10:23 p.m.
The point is that if Jodi denies she has anything to do with that twitter account, the people posting could be considered to be impersonating her.
If she claims they are her tweets then… why couldn’t she be prevented, on the same grounds that Nurmi is claiming- trying to influence the outcome of the trial, on the grounds that she is doing it for monetary gain with sale of drawings- in at least one of tweets,she directs people to the site that sells them.
update:
Nurmi asking for a hearing regarding change of venue:
MOTION FOR CHANGE OF VENUE:
http://media2.abc15.com/html/pdf/Ariasmotion827.pdf
———-
But what about the fact that his client and witness ( Alv) have engaged in television interviews and social media about the case?
He allowed that- but is now saying she needs a change of venue, that her case will therefore be affected because of tv coverage.
I dont care if they change the venue. I just want to know how Nurmi can make motions about the unfairness of media exposure that his own client is engaging in the same thing that he says OTHER people are doing.
The only difference is that she is saying she is innocent, and others are sayingthey think she was justly convicted of pre med and aggravation.

B
looks like the only motion Nurmi hasn’t filed is one to get rid of the judge.
( I know this post isn’t much of a contribution , and there is very little we can say that we haven’t said, but hey, I miss everyone!)
I am almost embarrassed that I am such a hold out for continuing discussion…
but as a last minute theory that was never explored:
We know that every expert testified to Arias being out of the norm emotionally.
There is recurring but consistant heresay about suicide:
The Hughes said she threatened Travis with this.
And Arias referred to it by testifying that she said ” a jury would never convict her” because she was “planning on being dead” She testified that she attempted suicide in jail with a razor but couldnt go through with it.
Just a wild out of the box thought- Would it be conceivable that Arias threatened to kill herself when Travis was in the shower? Could this have been the gesture she made when she realized all hope was lost for a relationship? Did she bring those weapons into the bathroom to say HER final good by?
Did she have a gun pointed at herself, causing him to leap from the shower to get it away from her and, to tackle her and get the weapon away from her? This scenario would have put her finger on the trigger. Wounded but able to get up, was the next battle to get the knife away from her amidst her threats to harm herself? If he gpt her down on the floor, on top of her,with the knife in her hand, would this explain the pattern of wounds on his back ?
And could her distorted mind led her to believe she was fighting for her life against hi strength as he tried to over power her to prevent her from harming herself, thus leading to the overkill?
Every one has supported the idea that she was too narcisssitic to really follow through with suicide, but did she make one threat too many?
