I'm cross-posting something I just posted in the thread about Beth Karas' subscription website. I watched a short video—less than 10 minutes—and gleaned all of this:

Jodi Arias retrial preview of what you can expect to hear on Tuesday, Oct. 21.

  • The latest news is that the judge is considering allowing the statements to be broadcast live tomorrow morning. But, she says, the attorneys on both sides have to agree. She suspects that Nurmi will not agree.
  • Is it common for openings, closings and verdicts being the only segments of the trial being broadcast? Yes, the "meat" of the trial—the witness and expert testimony—is often not broadcast in high profile trials. The judges are usually concerned about the witnesses.
  • Tomorrow at 10am the jury will be sworn
  • Double jeopardy attaches. Arias cannot be retried if a mistrial occurs or if misconduct is proven on the part of law enforcement or the state. It happens, not often, but occasionally.
  • These jurors and alternates were picked from the pool of 45 of death qualified jurors who had not already learned much about this case
  • The alternates are chosen after all the evidence and closing arguments are presented
  • There will be 16, 17 or 18 jurors who will be sworn in
  • The judge will then give the jury instructions
  • Then opening statements will begin
  • In this phase of a capital case, the defense will open first—maybe Nurmi, maybe Wilmott
  • Opening statements may be longer this time. The previous jury had already listened to months of testimony and voted for murder in the first degree. They agreed the premeditation and the "especially cruel" aggravators had been proven, but then hung in the penalty phase. This new jury has yet to hear the details about the case.
  • After the opening statements, the state will present evidence to educate the new jury: medical examiner, crime scene, forensics, camera/deleted photos, evidence of premeditation.
  • The prosecutor needs this jury to understand how tragic, terrible, heinous and brutal the murder of Travis Alexander was. This jury is being asked to impose death: unless they can get inside this crime scene, and really understand it—the 12 of them have to agree to give her death—the state's "got a tough row to hoe here." He will put on the strongest evidence to establish the brutality and premeditation of this crime.
  • The defense will put on its mitigating evidence. They're relying on some different mitigating factors than they did last year. Jodi Arias is relying on the factors of abuse as a child and on allegations of abuse by Travis Alexander.
  • How will the jury learn about these allegations? Will Jodi testify, or will she have other people say it for her? Expert witnesses who have examined her and have (supposedly) heard the same stories over and over?
    Beth says that it very well may be the latter.
  • These experts could not have given this kind of testimony in the first phase. In this phase, it's okay for experts to give hearsay testimony.
  • The first jury said that this was premeditated murder, but not unanimously.
  • In this phase, defense mitigating evidence can be presented by expert witnesses, who will then be cross-examined by the prosecutor.
  • The state can present additional evidence as well—evidence that can contradict the defense's argument for mercy—and that will include the victims' impact statements.
  • It's possible that the brutality of the crime evidence will be presented both before and after the defense's evidence.
  • Then Arias will allocute. She can't be cross-examined. However, Juan Martinez could possibly bring in more evidence if she says something that would allow him to rebut it.
  • Then the state will close.
  • Then the defense will close.
  • Then the jury will deliberate.

Beth wonders if it'll be December or January before this is over. She says this will be long, but not as long as last time: Beth guesses 2.5 to 3 months.

She offers apologies for technical difficulties on her web site.

This is from the freebie that she posted the day before the retrial began. Certainly worth six bucks per month, especially once she irons out the website wrinkles. She will save hours of my life trying to fact-check Twitter.

I made this list from the trial tweets of potential jurors. I was hoping for a thread. Since it's not here, I figured I would post these for tomorrow. It will give you some idea of who is who. In the future, I hope they use juror #'s and make their tweets a little better. :) This is going to be a few posts in a row. Hope it helps. Praying for Justice for Travis and closure for the Alexander family.

Beth Karas

Five more jurors (4 women and 1 man) were just told to return at 10 am on Oct. 16. One other woman was excused after saying she could never impose death, no matter what the crime.

@monicalindstrom: The current potential juror says the #DeathPenalty should be used for the Dahmers and repeat offenders #jodiarias a lot people feel that way

@jeffgoldesq: The juror on stand is giving quite a detailed view of when DP is to be imposed. But likely not in #JodiArias. #Striken

The last panel of jurors in #‎JodiArias' penalty phase retrial just left.

@ericksonvision: The prospective #jodiarias juror being questioned right now is a former Chicago cop and prison employee who once worked on Death Row.

@monicalindstrom: Juror said "I think you should just get rid of those that would go kill again" #jodiarias "quit letting them loose"

@BethKaras
Martinez is questioning the 3rd panel--now has 8 potential jurors. Exploring DV against one juror & why her ex went to prison. #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: This male juror knows his stuff. He answers questions well #jodiarias

@ericksonvision
Martinez finished with his questions. Sidebar called. 6 jurors make it to the next round on Oct. 16th. #jodiarias

@ericksonvision
When Martinez drilled down on that one guy, he was trying to get him to clarify what his actual view "in his soul" was on the death penalty.

@BethKaras
Eight more jurors made the cut to return for final round on 10/16. So far, 41 are returning. Day isn't finished. #jodiarias

Seven more jurors just made the cut to return on 10/16 for the final round. The total returning on 10/16 is 40 but the day isn't finished. One juror with domestic violence in her past is being questioned individually. She is embarrassed by being a victim but she believes it will not affect her judgment if selected to be a juror in this case. Judge just told her she made the cut too. So, 41 are returning on 10/16.

@ericksonvision
Domestic violence victim makes it through to next round of jury selection. Checking on whether the former prison guard did. #jodiarias

@BethKaras
Another juror now in the box, alone. She knew Nancy Grace was in Phoenix. Didn't watch a lot of trial-watched at night. #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: Potential juror says "you can't believe everything you hear" #jodiarias

@ericksonvision
Potential #jodiarias juror says she watches @NancyGraceHLN. Nurmi asks,"Will her derisive & unflattering comments affect your impartiality?"

@monicalindstrom: Juror says if she wasn't there she can't form her opinion on something she saw on TV, she is definitely in the minority on that!

@TrialDiariesJ: Potential juror said she doesn't think released after 25 years is long enough #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: Nurmi is explaining she will just vote life or death and judge makes final decision if life w/ no release or life w/ release #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: Juan tells juror "you can tell yourself this woman over here is a murderer" #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: Juan tells this woman "not only is she guilty of murder it was especially cruel" Nurmi objects but Judge overruled #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: This woman also says she saw reenactments on HLN (After Dark) #jodiarias

@ericksonvision: #JodiArias jury selection continues in an hour. 8 being questioned.

@TrialDiariesJ: Very young male juror is being questioned by Juan #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: This jurors faith is LDS. He's says he's a recent convert. #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: He's 23 and reads the Book of Mormon in his downtime at the courthouse #jodiarias
 
@TrialDiariesJ: In 2012 he got busted for marijuana #jodiarias

@ericksonvision: Juror is a 23 year old Mormon with a grandfather who is a court-appointed attorney. #jodiarias

@ericksonvision: Martinez, "If someone from LDS is in the stand and they say A) but you know B) is true, how will you handle that conflict?" #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: This young man seems very meek and I think he could be pushed around #jodiarias

@ericksonvision: Martinez, "Are you philosophically opposed to the death penalty?" Answer: "Yes." #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: He says "life is precious" #jodiarias

@ericksonvision: Says his view on death penalty WILL affect how he hears the evidence.

@TrialDiariesJ: He could maybe give the DP in extreme cases it would have to be "extremely bad" #jodiarias

106 seems a bit confused on the whole DP issue. He seems to be back and forth. #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: Are you going to be able to judge testimony of all witnesses the same way even though u are opposed to DP? Yes #jodiarias

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial · 9s 10 seconds ago
Juan seems a bit frustrated at the confusion of 106. He's in a bit of a fog. #jodiarias

@ericksonvision: Whoa! Kid makes it through to next round. #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: Another female juror in the box. #jodiarias

@ericksonvision: 3rd prospective #jodiarias now in court. Tells judge co-workers asked her about the case over the weekend. Says she hasn't talked about it.

@TrialDiariesJ: Those pesky co workers wanted to know if she was on the #jodiarias case. She said she told them she couldn't talk about it

@TrialDiariesJ: She has seen some coverage but not a lot #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: This juror said she can barely operate a computer

@TrialDiariesJ: This woman states she's a "very factual person" #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: Woman states she "can be fair" she said that twice. She can weigh things #jodiarias

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial · 44s 44 seconds ago
This juror claims she can be fair. She is nervous. She is a kindergarten teacher. #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: Can you weigh the evidence and judge crediablity of witnesses...yes sir #jodiarias
 
@TrialDiariesJ: She works with special needs kids #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: She assists the lead teacher too #jodiarias

Juror # 128 - Excused

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial · 56s 57 seconds ago
It's actually juror 135 next. He is seated. #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: We have a male juror who says his pesky co workers are bugging him about case #jodiarias

@ericksonvision: The 5th prospective #jodiarias juror is here now. Husky guy, goatee, cool glasses like mine.

@ericksonvision: Guy saw media coverage where the commentators were "swaying" the audience based in their speculation. #jodiarias

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial · 59s 59 seconds ago
135 is a middle aged man with rather large laptop bag. #jodiarias is not looking at him. Possibly crafting.

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial · 27s 27 seconds ago
135 doesn't have enough facts to have an opinion on #jodiarias.

@ericksonvision: Man has clearly seen a LOT of coverage on this. Says it won't affect his objectivity. #jodiarias

@ericksonvision: Nurmi tells juror the law requires he consider the person not just the crime. #jodiarias

@ericksonvision: Says he doesn't believe the only appropriate punishment is death. Now explains his view to Nurmi. #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: So #jodiarias looks at the men jurors but doesn't the women. At least today anyway #JodiArias

@ericksonvision: Nurmi asks juror if he'd be easily influenced by others in deliberation or if he could express his own views. #jodiarias

@ericksonvision: Martinez is now questioning this prospective #jodiarias juror.

@TrialDiariesJ: Juan- From your view it's the states burden to prove she deserves a DP correct? Life is a starting point #jodiarias

@monicalindstrom: This juror said that "life is the starting point" in this case, do you agree? #JodiArias

@TrialDiariesJ: Juan- are you going to accept the prior jurors verdict? Yes sir #jodiarias

ericksonvision: Juan clearly feels this juror doesn't necessarily accept the 1st verdict. Juror disagrees. #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: Juan tells this juror this cruelty on Travis was above the norm and he suffered. #JodiArias

@ericksonvision: "If I started automatically with the death penalty (as opposed to life) then why am I here?" - prospective #jodiarias juror.

@ericksonvision: "Once I am set in a decision I am very difficult to persuade otherwise." - prospective #jodiarias juror to Juan Martinez

@monicalindstrom: This juror is getting frustrated, he actually cut JM off and contradicted him #jodiarias

@TrialDiariesJ: He remains on #jodiarias

The last juror, a man, was accepted. The total returning on 10/16 in #jodiarias is 45.

It appears attorneys are exercising their strikes today in #jodiarias in private. Jury will be selected soon but not sworn until 10/16.

Court resumed at 3 pm local time. The attorneys were at a long sidebar then the judge cleared the courtroom. Media are in the hall. It appears that the attorneys will exercise their strikes today--not on 10/16--though we will not know who's on the final jury until 10/16. On that day, the jury will be sworn. In sum, the attorneys are exercising their peremptory challenges today. No jurors are now at the courthouse. Forty five of them are returning next week. Twelve plus a number of alternates (not sure how many) will be sworn as the panel on Oct. 16. We expect argument on at least one motion before Oct.16 though the schedule keeps changing.

#JodiArias jury pool down to 38. Each side gets 10 strikes bringing it down to the 12 + 6 alternates.
 
Oh CARP - it didn't post all my bolding about who made it. I will go back and edit them to bold the ones you can focus on tomorrow. I'll try to condense it if I have time and once we are underway.
 
See now, to me, that's just a data dump. We still have to confer to fact-check it here. IMO, it's up to David Lohr and Beth Karas, as usual.
Thank you, AngelWing444, though! Data is good for sleuths! :loveyou:

ETA: Your editing relevant info in bold is making it much much more meaningful. Thank you mucho! No longer a data dump.
