Because of expressed concerns about possible violation of victim’s rights by holding ex parte mitigation status conferences, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED relieving the appointed mitigation master of any further duties in this case with the exception that if the mitigation master has received any objection to any order signed by the mitigation master, the mitigation master shall rule on that objection.


In 2009, Maria De La Rosa was not involved, the Mitigation specialist was Sue Stodolla(sp)

It's her brother - Joey.

Then it appears that she lied about when she left AZ. Didn't she say she left in April? There is way to much to remember. LOL. I thought it might be Joey but wasn't sure.

Her one and only dad is Bill Arias as far as I know. He is the one who has been in court, he is the one who told Flores about the pot. As far as any sexual assault/molestation that is pure speculation on some posters thoughts as to why CMJA wanted to testify in secret, I do not think that was the reason, but who really knows... but, she is evil enough to do so I think.

Thank you...I am going to try and find where someone said she had a step dad.....thanks again and I agree...she is very evil.

Mitigation Master is someone ABOVE Mitigation Specialist. I've combed through far too many court minute entries today. If anyone wants to find the name of the original Mitigation Master (it's out here ... I remember reading the name), go for it. You're right re: Mitigation Specialist.

Specialist and Master, as I understand the terms = two different job titles.

The Alexander Family aren't residents of AZ, I don't know any of them but I think I can safely say it's very difficult for them to attend for over a year now.

I was answering a post about subpoenas for defense witnesses living outside of Arizona, not the Alexander family.

I have to wonder if Nurmi realizes his argument says, in effect, that these 14 'friends of JA' who refuse to testify value their online life more than JA's real life. With friends like that...

:slap::laughcry::slap:

 

[LambChop]

There is no stepdad. JA's mother and father are still married. Jodi has a step sister.

 

[Shadowboy]

I have always heard them called specialists, and thought that maybe the "Master" possibly meant the job required a masters degree. But since IANAL I am probably wrong, LMAO. If AZL is around, she would know. I will wait before I go searching. :fence:

Judge Donahoe having been appointed as the Mitigation Special Master in this case,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED setting an ex parte (no State representative present)
mitigation status review conference on February 18, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 511, East
Court Building, 101 W. Jefferson, Phoenix, Arizona. (Time limit: 1 hour.)

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that both of defendant’s counsel shall be present along
with the mitigation specialist. Counsel and the mitigation specialist shall be prepared to present
to the Special Master a detailed report regarding the status of the mitigation investigation.

Interesting highlighted minute entries shadowboy. It sound like over the summer one of Jodi's fans tried to file a motion with the court, an amicus curiae brief. Clever. Strange, strange trial.

Left me wondering if "Friend of the Court" is Sue D. Nimh. OR ... BN?

(Y'all see below ... some crackpot, evidently)

From the above 13th Juror link:

"“…My [Nurmi] client cannot present a full case for life if these [secret testimony] documents are released. Mitigating evidence will be compromised,” he pleaded. He looked down at his notes and then back at the Judge. “This is not about the First Amendment and it is not about KPNX, the media or public rights. This is about our showing mitigating factors and her life. She is not actualized mitigation. The Defendant begs that we do not release these manuscripts.”

I'd appreciate translations of the two bolded sentences, because I don't understand them. Nurmi is claiming future mitigation witness testimony "will be compromised" if JA's testimony is released? How so? And what does "She is not actualized mitigation" mean? TIA

I'm probably incorrect, but I think he's saying that if the court releases JA's testiphony first and is made public(ie. so that her 14 witnesses may become aware of what she's said), that these 14 witnesses may not corroborate her testiphony, imo likely because she has plans to use their words to throw them under the bus to "make real/give weight" to her "mitigating factor/s".

Would love for the jury to see this: at about 17:51 ja leaving interview. There's a better view of this but I can't find it. Imo shows how evil she is

Okay, here is what it is.


Qualifications of Mitigation master. Only a judicial officer who is qualified to serve as a trial judge in a capital case shall be appointed as a mitigation master.



PROPOSED RULE 15.10, Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure
Rule 15.10. Mitigation Masters in Capital Cases.

a. Appointment of Mitigation Master. In a case where the prosecutor has filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty under Rule 15.1(i), the presiding criminal judge or the designee of the presiding criminal judge may appoint a mitigation master. The same judge shall not serve as mitigation master for more than one defendant in any case with co-defendants.


b. Time of Appointment. The mitigation master may be appointed at any stage of a capital case as circumstances warrant.


c. Qualifications of Mitigation master. Only a judicial officer who is qualified to serve as a trial judge in a capital case shall be appointed as a mitigation master. Judges need not be assigned to a criminal calendar in order to serve as a mitigation master. A judge may not be a mitigation master in any case to which he or she is assigned as the trial judge.


d. Function of the Mitigation master. The function of the mitigation master is (1) to assist the assigned trial judge in assuring that the preparation of the capital defendant’s mitigation defense is timely completed so that the preparation of the mitigation defense does not delay a resolution of the case by trial or by other means and (2) to assure that applicable standards for investigation of the defendant’s background are met.

If I am reading correctly, in 2009 the then mitigation master asked to be recused from the case or was she released by the judge

There is no stepdad. JA's mother and father are still married. Jodi has a step sister.

Call me dense, but with jodi being the older how does she have a step sibling?
