8 Mitigating Factors Proffered by Defense Team
(copied ~verbatim from jury instructions in penalty phase May 17, except that fifth factor is split in 2 factors)
For anyone who wants to see & hear, Nurmi's opening stmt where he discusses these 8 mit/factors.
Jodi Arias Penalty Phase - Day 1 - Part 1 - YouTube

5b. Suffered Abuse & Neglect as Adult ………..

The AZ statute re Mitigating circumstances 13-571(G)
http://www.azcourts.gov/ccsguide/MitigatingCircumstances.aspx
Planning to make a series of posts, each with one claimed mitigating factor and
--- notes of comments from azcourts.gov website discussing that factor in the statute;
--- some evidence the Def. has offered in their case already or said they will offer;
--- some evidence the State has offered already (or could offer, IMO);
---my questions about whether some info would be admissible in this phase;
-- my thoughts about the value (only, IMO) of each factor.
Ok, other cyber-jurors, what do you think?
Agree or disagree, factor by factor?
When all the mitigating factors are combined, do they negate the Death Penalty for JA?
ETA:
Great if you'd like to add to the list of points either the Def. or the State has on any of these factors.
However, trying to get a sense of whether, on a factor-by-factor basis,
our members think the Mit. factor has been already proven, is likely to be proven (w. what we know)
OR whether Def. hasn't shown it and will be unable to prove it next week.
For each factor, please give your feeling about whether Def team can"win" on that factor.
In other words, a poll of sorts.
Feel free to discuss too.
