Oh that canadian woman that killed her boyfriend and drown their kid after tormenting his parents and stalking him before murdering. What 15 years ago or so? Now is released and married with more kids? Documentary Zachary made me cry for an hour.

The murderer from "Dear Zachary" committed suicide at the same time she killed Zachary (walked into the ocean with him.) The heinous Canadian murderer who is now re-married with kids is Karla Homolka. She helped her husband rape and kill a number of teenagers, including her sister.

All quiet in the hallway outside courtroom 5c. Five jurors just returned from a break. They seemed at ease. #JodiArias

I think they are just there to be prepared. She had them other days too. If they come in with questions or whatever she has to be in court and she gets to be in street clothes.

Someone referred to the book, Slumber Party From Hell, written by a woman who was in Perryville for seven years. I downloaded it to read about conditions in the prison, not the inmates. It does sound horrible and HOT. Think about a tiny concrete and steel cell in the middle of a dirt field when it's 117 degrees outside, with no air conditioning. That alone would kill me.

Now that makes me feel a whole lot better about LWOP.

I just learned she comes back to Montreal in the summer as well I'd have a few choice words for her if I saw her on the streets

MDLR returns without #JodiArias' clothing.

Just throwing this out there while we wait. Does anyone think it's a good thing that JSS was so overly cautious about a future appeal? Don't we think that will make it that much harder for JA to have her conviction overturned?

For me, it would be the absolute worst thing if JA appealed whatever sentence she gets and then has her case thrown out and we have to sit through everything ALL OVER AGAIN years later.

Ah yes you are right. It was the other woman who was a serial killer with her husband and video taped it. anSHE got out and is married with children.

Actually she fled to Canada, got bail, and then killed herself and the baby.

No AC, outside cages for exercise. A horrid roach infestation. They come through the vents and cracks in the walls and window sills. I would die of exhaustion because I would NEVER ever go to sleep again.

I honestly don't worry about whether or not she'll have a miserable experience there. I am totally convinced she'll find it hell. She's been habituated to her 7 year easy jail stint. She has no idea. She'll arrive, all ready to either boss others around or pretend to charm...either way, they'll squash her like a bug. Every day.

Can someone tell me WHY JSS is so careful about appeals? Every death row convict appeals. Most lifers appeal as well, I assume. But why would the potential for an appeal make JSS be so cautious and try to avoid them? Is it because she believes the killer is guilty as charged and doesn't want the conviction overturned? Would the Judge be reprimanded if there is an appeal? I mean I guess I just don't see why the possibility of an appeal has made her operate her Courtroom the way she has.

IMO, appeals are a given. What she is trying to avoid is reversible error and having the conviction overturned. Imagine having to do all of this over again.:scared:

No way of knowing what is happening with #JodiArias jury.
The mitigation specialist arrived w/dry cleaning. Could be a sign... or not.

I do agree with this and at times I have been among her worst critics. I feel she will give her LWOP but of course that is not a certainty at this point because we just don't know.

She isn't blameless completely though. She tried a case within a case. The trial, both the guilt phase, and the penalty phase ,but she also allowed the defense team to put in many issues that should have been held for the appellate court.

I have seen many death penalty Judges admonish DTs very quickly when they stray into the appellate issues rather than remaining focused on the case at hand. I have heard them sternly say to the defense when they try the shenanigans this DT has done 'that is for another day and another court, move along' and it was respected by the DT and the subjects dropped. And the prosecutorial misconduct claim shouldn't have ever entered in front of this jurors but should have been one of the appellate issues used after the verdict.

Here because she seems overly paranoid about appeal issues she has allowed way too much in that really had no reason to be included. All Judges are fully aware all DP cases are going to be automatically appealed therefore the other Judges leave out all those issues knowing that will be looked at by an entirely different court. They forge ahead always mindful of the court and jurors' time and don't timidly do as JSS has done in this case. She was able to be manipulated by the defendant herself. I don't know one Judge other than JSS who would have really allowed a defendant to testify in total privacy in front of the jury only.... yet this is the decision she made. She was rebuked for it and now that is on record.

So while I don't think she is on JAs side or anyone sides ....she has made this trial slow down to a crawl and has made some very odd rulings along the way. I don't think the Az reporters are picking on JSS when they say she has tried this case in secret. I think it is true, and the media has never had to deal with someone like JSS, and her rulings to keep so much of this case hidden from view with ad nauseam closed sidebars, and in chamber meetings.

Most Judges I have seen on DP cases rule with an iron fist and move the trial along and refuse to let the lawyers get bogged down in irrelevant issues. They are confident and believe in their rulings.... which comes much faster than in this one... is sound and valid when they are made.

JSS appeared very unsure of herself during this trial, imo. And the DT, being the sharks they are, smelled blood in the water. She did not control her courtroom, but I believe she'll give LWOP if called upon to decide.

 

[DebinGA]

I think JSS has made whatever verdict overturned-proof. The cost of doing so to a just outcome is very debatable though imo.
