Exactly. This is such a blatant and bad mistake I can see where it would require immediate attention, thus the emergency? Just a thought
Still no word on what this 'emergency' is then.
Sigh
No. In regards to the 'emergency', I'm going to go with the *advertiser censored*/Compaq/Dell debacle. The 'source' apparently said the emergency had nothing to do with the trial. That's exactly what Juan said in his motion: 'The Dell computer purportedly belongs to an individual named Tony and has nothing to do with this case.' I'm thinking, and I believe AZL said this yesterday too, that Dr. F. was scheduled to speak about *advertiser censored* next, and Juan had already requested that no witness allude to the subject of *advertiser censored* until this matter was resolved. JSS may have given Nurmi and JM two days to present her with the truth of the matter so that she could make a final ruling.
Another thing I'm going out on a limb on is that the COA will grant Nurmi's request to continue with the one witness 'in secret'. It's been my impression that COA's generally prefer to back the lower judges when feasible. Because JSS carried out research before deciding to seal the testimony, I think they will rule in her favour - for just the one witness. The rest of the trial will be opened up.
This is JSS' ruling from the minutes posted by YesorNo:
'Based on the information previously heard and the research made by the Court; The testimony of the Defense witness shall be sealed.'
Now I just have to wait to be proven wrong on both counts! :blushing:
I thought this also but we were told this emergency has nothing to do with the trial.
Another post by the "13th Juror" over at the Juan Martinez Prosecutor Support Page; there are liberal references to the DeVault trial as well, but he's probably trying to give his frame of reference (and pump his book, heh):

Also on FB, The State vs Jodi Arias page posted this regarding the email about the 9 year old:

Paraphrasing, they're stating that Jeff Hughes (a colleague of Travis') says that it's a PPL promotional email that was sent out automatically. If that's true, how horrible of the DT to try to present it as something *sexually* inappropriate for a child as opposed to a mail that was simply just business related.
There was also a Tweet from Cathy (@courtchatter) this morning about the IM between Travis & Julie and "Sarah" (the one who was "too young" for Travis):

18th Nov 2014 from TwitLonger
In #JodiArias today an IM was read between Travis & friend Julie re "Sarah" and her being "Too young" for TA. I just got off the phone with Julie. She verified that "Sarah" was an adult and not a minor. Julie was shocked that the defense was trying to make an innocent and joking message between her and her good friend Travis out to be something disgusting.
Aaaand according to the Juan Support page, the motion for Joinder/Omnibus Hearing was granted (the one by the DT to join in the Feb. 2015 Motion to Dismiss the DP). I know one of our intrepid WSers will be able to link to the actual Motion for us.
As always, it's social media....take it ALL with a big fat grain of salt.
The longer this lasts, the longer Jodi gets out of prison field trip days. It's just prolonging the inevitable. She'll never see the light of day outside the custody of the prison system. Field trip days will be severely sparse from this time on. Jodi will be moved to a secure prison with hard core, badassed offenders who also will never be released. The pecking order is already established. No more 'celebrity' status.

Every thing about this trial is crazy, it is moving at a snails pace, I saw a post yesterday about having been in trial for a month with about 4 actual trial days. There are so many sealed documents, meetings, and secret witnesses.
How and why is any of this allowed.
In case anyone would like to browse selected Tweets from today from several different reporters in the courtroom, I've divided them up as follows:
Monday 11/17/14 morning until morning break
Monday 11/17/14 after break until lunch break
Monday 11/17/14 afternoon until afternoon break
Monday 11/17/14 after afternoon break until adjourned
The time indicated in the first column is PST, one hour earlier than Arizona.
Dr. Fonseca reviewed a voluminous amount of evidence :thinking: :laughing: :hand: :nerves: . . .I don't know who is more delusional the good doctor or the convicted killer. What on earth does she mean:
vo·lu·mi·nous
[vuh-loo-muh-nuh s]
adjective
Examples of the word Voluminous:
1. The enormous amount of hot air Nurmi expels in conjunction with his witness.
2. Number of books in the Library of Congress
3. Pantene Shampoo
4. Book Sales Harry Potter Series
Rhymes with VOLUMINOUS
