Wrong day to drop your last contact lens and then find it torn on the bottom of your shoe.

...PS: Does anyone understand why Jodi's family never spoke and pleaded to save Jodi's life? That seems Mega wierd to me.

They didn't want to be subject to cross-examination by the Prosecution. If they had testified, they'd have faced harsh questioning from JM. :moo:

I will say verdict late Thursday afternoon. They all want this done by the weekend

 

[Davia18]

Maybe the jury is going to make the DT wait and wait and wait and wait and drag this out as the DT did the jury day after day, week after week and month after month.

 

[Softail]

This.[emoji35] I agree....hope you are wrong but I agree

I hope I'm wrong too. :sigh:

 

[JSR]

Nurmi made some huge blunders today with his last closing. Lying about trashing Travis was a big no no as well as the part about DR lying about Travis. He should have never reminded the jury that the DT has seriously misled them.
The good news is that today marks the very last day Jodi will have a huge public stage to trash her victim. She will have to relive those moments only in her memory. That part is done forever.
I imagine a good portion of today will be the jury just letting off steam about this case. They might get down to business later today. But I'm sure they all have a lot to get off their chest. I feel for the alternates they won't get to do that.

When the jury has a question judge Stephens will answer in writing. We will not know. # secrettrial #jodiarias

 

[rose222]

I cannot imagine these jurors who have been held hostage for five months agreeing to have a long weekend before deliberating again. Do they already anticipate a verdict well before Friday? lease:

BBM: JMO but I think they will have a verdict by tomorrow at the latest lease:

They do NOT want to have a 3-day weekend, have to come back Monday.

They have been at it since October 21, 2014 ... were supposed to be finished by December 18, 2014 ... and NOW, it is February 25, 2015 !

They'll get this done by tomorrow ...

Of course, this is JMO !

:seeya:

 

[ElleElle]

So, are they done today until tomorrow??

 

[MinnesotaMary]

If the jurors come back quickly with a Death Sentence, it sure will make the Jodi-defense-team look like a pack of fools IMHO (fools who laughed all the way to the bank.... $$)

 

[cece5300]

I would love for her to get the DP but I would be satisfied with LWOP. I just want closure for the Alexanders. As long as there's no chance for parole, I'll live.

Meanwhile, in another state...

Kelly Gissendaner, Only Woman on Georgia's Death Row, Denied Clemency Before Execution

The only woman on Georgia's death row lost her bid for clemency hours before her scheduled Wednesday evening execution. Kelly Gissendaner, 47, was sentenced to death for the 1997 murder of her husband even though it was her lover — who got life in prison — who did the stabbing. Barring a last-minute reprieve from an appeals court, she will become the first woman executed in the state in 70 years.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...s-death-row-denied-clemency-execution-n312541

I wonder how the news of this woman's execution will affect the mood amongst the DT if it goes ahead this evening? And she was only 28 or 29 years old when this murder took place. Not to mention she didn't actually kill the victim.

And from that link...

Georgia Vet With PTSD Is First Person to Be Executed in 2015

A decorated Vietnam veteran who killed a sheriff's deputy in 1998 was the first person to be executed in the U.S. in 2015 after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his argument that the post-traumatic stress he suffered from combat should make him exempt from capital punishment.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/georgia-vet-ptsd-first-person-be-executed-2015-n284946

So much for her fake PTSD as a mitigator. The US Supreme Court struck down that guys argument and he was a war veteran. A person with real PTSD.

MOO

 

[Nightswimmer]

This isn't a statement for or against the DP, but I don't know that I like the setup this situation provides. LWOP - especially if at least partially solitaried - is not an easy sentence, especially for one who craves attention. I understand and acknowledge the family's full right to pursue Death, but it's not an easy thing to convince 12 individuals to agree upon, and it offers Arias two potential toys to play with - if it's Life or a hung jury that leads to Life, it's seen as a 'victory' for her; if they do vote Death she gets to play with appeals and try dragging it out some more.

I'd sooner she just go away. Forever.

 

[Paintr]

This is probably going to sound strange, but I wish that this jury would hang rather than vote for life. I would rather think that they couldn't come to an agreement than think that they, all 12, were swayed by the miserable tactics of the DT. If not the DP then I wish for a hung jury. :sigh:
